This data article provides a comprehensive description of climate change mitigation and adaptation policies implemented by 21 Italian regions (NUTS2 level) as of January 2024. It was developed as part a wider research work published by the authors [2]. The dataset collects information on the efforts the regions are making to tackle the climate crisis.

In short-carbon-fiber-reinforced polyamide 66 articles shaped by 3D printing (3D-SCFRPA66), the interfaces between printed layers are often susceptible to damage, and the composite is excessively brittle. Therefore, a novel treatment for 3D-printed short-carbon-fiber-reinforced polyamide (3D-SCFRPA66) using homogeneous low-potential electron beam irradiation (HLEBI) to enhance tensile properties was investigated. In 3D-SCFRPA66 samples, ductility was measured based on the following parameters: strain at tensile strength (corresponding to homogeneous deformation) () and resistance energy to homogeneous deformation, a measure of toughness (), which were both substantially increased.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study investigates how community-based organizations (CBOs) serving LGBTQ+ populations can effectively integrate evidence-based health communication campaigns (EBHCC) to tackle tobacco-related health disparities.
  • - Through qualitative interviews with 22 CBO staff members, researchers identified three main themes: the effectiveness of storytelling for community engagement, the benefit of researcher involvement in content creation, and the added value of these adaptations despite resource constraints.
  • - The findings highlight the importance of understanding and addressing the specific needs of CBOs, suggesting that tailored support strategies can enhance the implementation of EBHCCs for better health outcomes in LGBTQ+ communities.

Article Synopsis
  • * It's crucial to acknowledge existing structural inequalities when transforming food systems, as neglecting them could hinder potential improvements.
  • * Six key areas are proposed for equitable food system changes: access to diverse and nutritious food, regulation of the food industry, climate-resilient production, support for localized food systems, cultural diversity, and social well-being, all requiring collaboration among public, private, and civil society sectors.

The increasing use of chemicals requires a better understanding of their presence and dynamics in the environment, as well as their impact on ecosystems. The aim of this study was to validate the first steps of an innovative multi-omics approach based on metabolomics and 16S metabarcoding data for analyses of the fate and impact of contaminants in Mediterranean lagoons. Semi-targeted analytical procedures for water and sediment matrices were implemented to assess chemical contamination of the lagoon: forty-six compounds were detected, 28 of which could be quantified in water (between 0.
