The article presents data on chromosomal aberrations in bone marrow cells of mice following isolated exposure to gamma-radiation and chemical factor within the existing MPCs for piloted spacecraft, and also combined sequential exposure in the ranges predicted for interplanetary missions. In the event of chronic exposure the relative number of chromosomal aberrations goes up till reaching plateau and is governed strictly by the mathematical dependence on effective residual gamma-dose and effective damage of organism from inhaled chemical factor. Sequential exposure to the radiation and chemical factors within the ranges specified for orbital and remote space missions caused a tangible reduction of the speed of cytogenetic damages reparation in postexposure period which may be interpreted as depletion of the body reserve and compensatory-recovery potential.

Zero-valent iron (ZVI) has demonstrated high potential for in-situ remediation of contaminated groundwater and soils. Upon exposure to oxygen, ZVI generates reactive oxygen species (ROS). In parallel with the electron transfer mediated-reductive path, ROS plays a critical role in the oxidative degradation of organic pollutants during ZVI remediation of groundwater and soil.

Background: In light of the increasing diversity within school populations globally, a pressing need arises for nations to prioritise the enhancement of teachers' competencies in implementing inclusive education, recognising the central role teacher education programmes play in addressing this imperative. Teacher education programmes centred on inclusion not only respond to this global priority but also wield influence on teachers' attitudes, self-efficacy and stress levels when engaging with diverse learners.
Objectives: The study presents an analysis of the effectiveness of a teacher education programme in Ethiopia in developing teachers' competencies for inclusion.

Fear of missing out (FoMO) is the apprehension that others may be having more rewarding experiences from which one is absent. A positive relationship between FoMO and social media related behaviors is well established. Limited studies have examined how FoMO may be associated with risky health behaviors, such as alcohol use.

Despite pleas to consider both evolutionary and multistressor climate change perspectives to improve ecological risk assessment, the much needed combination of both perspectives is largely missing. This is especially important when evaluating the costs of the evolution of genetic tolerance to pollutants as these costs may become visible only under combined exposure to the pollutant and warming due to energetic constraints. We investigated the costs of chlorpyrifos tolerance in when sequentially exposed to 4-day pesticide treatments and 4-day heat spike treatments.

Importance: Cigarette companies have been introducing synthetic cooling agent menthol-mimicking cigarettes into the US marketplace as menthol cigarette bans are implemented. These cigarettes may reduce the public health benefits of menthol cigarette bans.
Objective: To examine the epidemiology of the use of synthetic cooling agent menthol-mimicking cigarettes among adults in the US.
