Catalysis is undergoing a major transition resulting from significant changes in chemical and energy production. To honor the 50th anniversary of establishing the Jerzy Haber Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry, this Essay discusses, from a forward-looking, personal and somewhat provocative perspective, the needs and gaps of catalysis to address the ongoing transition in chemistry and energy from a sustainability perspective. The focus is on a few selected aspects identified as crucial: i) The precise synthesis of catalytic materials, particularly focusing on mesoporous molecular sieves, metal-organic frameworks, and zeolites (particularly two-dimensional type); ii) advanced catalyst characterization methods; iii) new concepts and approaches needed in catalysis to meet the demands of a field of energy and chemistry in transition.

Food safety knowledge, attitudes, and practices among food handlers in collective catering in central Morocco.

Heliyon

December 2024

Laboratory of Materials, Processes, Catalysis, and Environment, University Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah, Higher School of Technology, Post Office Box 2427, Fez, Morocco.

Food safety is a significant challenge for countries worldwide due to the growing number of food poisoning outbreaks, particularly in the catering sector, which impacts consumer health and imposes additional economic costs on countries. The role of food handlers in restaurants is crucial for guaranteeing this safety and protecting the health of citizens. This pioneering study in central Morocco aimed to assess food safety knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) among food handlers and to identify key factors influencing adequate knowledge, positive attitudes, and effective practices.

Peripartum cardiomyopathy is an idiopathic and nonischemic systolic dysfunction with onset toward the end of pregnancy and up to 5 months postpartum. Its clinical phenotype overlaps with pregnancy-associated cardiomyopathy rendering both a continuum of the same disease. Incidence varies geographically and is highest in areas where risk factors are prevalent.

Recently, ABX materials have garnered significant attention due to their diverse applications in photovoltaics, catalysis, and optoelectronics as well as their remarkable efficiency in energy conversion. However, progress has been somewhat slow due to the high expenses of the experiment or the time-consuming density functional theory (DFT) calculation. In this study, we utilized the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) algorithm to facilitate the discovery and characterization of ABX compounds based on vast data sets generated by DFT calculations.

This review focuses on the application of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) polymer nanocomposites (NCs) in the heavy metals (HMs) removal from contaminated water sources. This manuscript's originality consists of an in-depth analysis of recent advances in using β-cyclodextrin nanocomposites (β-CD-NCs) to remove HMs from wastewater, highlighting literature gaps, innovations, and challenges in this field, suggesting perspectives on existing theories, and outlining implications for future research directions. Combining nanoparticles with the β-CD polymer yields stable, reusable β-CD-NCs that are effective and efficient in HM adsorption.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by communication barriers, societal disengagement, and monotonous actions. Traditional diagnostic methods for ASD rely on clinical observations and behavioural assessments, which are time-consuming. In recent years, researchers have focused mainly on the early diagnosis of ASD due to the unavailability of recognised causes and the lack of permanent curative solutions.
