Biomass, as a source of lignocellulose, can be valorized into carbon micro/nanofibers for adsorbing greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions, especially CO. This article is derived from systematic evidence evaluation of published studies, presenting new, innovative, and systemic approaches to lignocellulose-based carbon micro/nanofiber studies. The review covers a general overview of carbon micro/nanofiber studies, mapping chronicles of the studies, carbon micro/nanofiber types for CO uptake, carbon micro/nanofibers fabrication and characterization, obtained carbonaceous material activation and performances, regulatory frameworks, and sustainability.

The Lived Experiences of Mothers Living with HIV in West Papua, Indonesia: A Qualitative Study.

Creat Nurs

January 2025

Nursing, Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Manokwari, Manokwari, West Papua, Indonesia.

Mothers living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may experience adjustment issues due to their illness progression and the risk of intergenerational transmission of the disease. Existing research on women living with HIV has focused on how psychological transitions such as child care and breastfeeding influence maternal life, and how socioeconomic status, stigma, and social support impact psychological transitions. Little is known about the experiences of mothers living with HIV in Indonesia.

The global strategy to #EndAIDS is underpinned by a call to end all inequities and to ensure no-one is left behind; but inequities continue, and people are still being left behind. Despite the advances seen in some populations and in some geographical areas, with ongoing high rates of HIV vertical transmission, ending HIV for pregnant and breastfeeding women and their children must be prioritised urgently. Focused on Asia and the Pacific, the region with the second largest number of people with HIV, in this viewpoint we highlight the heterogenous nature of global and regional success in eliminating vertical transmission of HIV.

The genetic origins and impacts of historical Papuan migrations into Wallacea.

Article Synopsis
  • The tropical region of Wallacea was first settled by modern humans around 50,000 years ago, with Austronesian seafarers arriving approximately 3,500 years ago.
  • Current populations in Wallacea show a mix of ancestries derived from both Papuan and Asian sources, suggesting interactions between local populations and Austronesian migrants, although much of the Papuan-related ancestry is traced back to migrations from New Guinea.
  • Recent genetic analysis, alongside archaeological and linguistic evidence, indicates that the population history of Wallacea has been significantly influenced by the movement of Papuan genes, languages, and cultures over the last 3,500 years.
