Process-Structure-Formulation Interactions for Enhanced Sodium Ion Battery Development: A Review.

Before the viability of a cell formulation can be assessed for implementation in commercial sodium ion batteries, processes applied in cell production should be validated and optimized. This review summarizes the steps performed in constructing sodium ion (Na-ion) cells at research scale, highlighting parameters and techniques that are likely to impact measured cycling performance. Consistent process-structure-performance links have been established for typical lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells, which can guide hypotheses to test in Na-ion cells.

'Bhavishya Shakti: Empowering the Future': establishing and evaluating a pilot community mobile teaching kitchen as an innovative model, training marginalised women to become nutrition champions and culinary health educators in Kolkata, India.

Background: Malnutrition is a global emergency, creating an overlapping burden on individual, public and economic health. The double burden of malnutrition affects approximately 2.3 billion adults worldwide.

Three-year review of a capacity building pilot for a sustainable regional network on food, nutrition and health systems education in India.

Background: In Kolkata (India), there are high rates of malnourished children (45.9%) under the age of three, impacting growth, organ development, function, and cognition. Mothers have a major role to play during this crucial development stage, with research showing nutrition knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of mothers are important determinants of childhood malnutrition.

Genomic sweeping for hypermethylated genes.

Motivation: Genes silenced by the aberrent methylation of nearby CpG islands can contribute to the onset or progression of cancer and represent potential biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis. Relatively few have thus far been validated as hypermethylated in cancer among over 14,000 candidates with promoter region CpG islands. A descriptive set of genes known to be unmethylated in cancer does not exist.

Skin cancer screening in primary care: prevalence and barriers.

Background: Skin cancer incidence is increasing, but whether primary care providers routinely screen for skin cancer is not known.

Objective: We assessed whether primary care practitioners are performing skin cancer screening within the context of primary care and whether barriers exist that might act as impediments to the implementation of this practice.

Methods: A total of 465 primary care providers belonging to their respective county medical societies in either New Haven County, Connecticut, or Miami-Dade County, Florida were randomly selected and surveyed by mailed questionnaire regarding their skin cancer screening practices.
