Text recycling, often called "self-plagiarism", is the practice of reusing textual material from one's prior documents in a new work. The practice presents a complex set of ethical and practical challenges to the scientific community, many of which have not been addressed in prior discourse on the subject. This essay identifies and discusses these factors in a systematic fashion, concluding with a new definition of text recycling that takes these factors into account. Topics include terminology, what is not text recycling, factors affecting judgements about the appropriateness of text recycling, and visual materials.

As the European Union transitions to the circular use of plastics, robust life cycle assessments are crucial in understanding and preparing for this new economy. Additives are essential to the production of all plastics but were reported as missing from life cycle assessments (LCAs) of plastic materials a decade ago. This study expands upon previous research by investigating if plastic additive impacts are now included in LCAs of recycled plastic materials or if they are still absent.

Autophagy is an essential cellular recycling process that maintains protein and organelle homeostasis. ATG9A vesicle recruitment is a critical early step in autophagy to initiate autophagosome biogenesis. The mechanisms of ATG9A vesicle recruitment are best understood in the context of starvation-induced non-selective autophagy, whereas less is known about the signals driving ATG9A vesicle recruitment to autophagy initiation sites in the absence of nutrient stress.

Aims: Healthcare foodservices substantially impact global environmental changes. This study investigated environmentally sustainable practices in Australian health foodservices; and perceptions of the influence of COVID-19 on foodservice environmental sustainability.
Methods: An observational study was undertaken collecting data at two time points (2019 and 2022) via a pre-workshop survey with healthcare foodservice stakeholders.

The use of warm mix asphalt (WMA) and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) technologies presents challenges in optimizing binder activation and mechanical performance in asphalt mixtures. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of three WMA additives (sunflower oil, WarmGrip®, and natural zeolite) and different RAP contents (30% and 70%) on the rheological and mechanical properties of recycled asphalt mixtures. The research focused on assessing the degree of RAP binder activation, determining the extent of partial activation, and analyzing the impact on tensile strength, moisture resistance, modulus, fatigue life, and deformation resistance.

Integrating photocatalysis technology with peroxymonosulfate oxidation possesses huge potential for degrading stubborn pollutant. Herein, a porous ultra-thin carbon nitride with C-defect O-doping and advanced n-π* transition was customized by one-pot thermal-induced polymerization of molten urea assisted with paraformaldehyde. Via visible-light coupling peroxymonosulfate activation, the DCN-100 can completely photodegrade 2,4-dichlorophenol, and rate constant is 136.
