"Sustainability", "resilience", and other terms group under the heading of "stability." Their ubiquity speaks to a vital need to characterise changes in complex social and environmental systems. In a bewildering array of terms, practical measurements are essential to permit comparisons and so untangle underlying relationships.

Importance: Frailty assessed at a single time point is associated with mortality in older women with breast cancer. Little is known about how changes in frailty following cancer treatment initiation affect mortality.
Objective: To evaluate the association between claims-based frailty trajectories following adjuvant chemotherapy initiation and 5-year mortality in older women with stage I to III breast cancer.

The growing amount of carbon dioxide (CO) in the atmosphere significantly contributes to global warming and climate change. This study focuses on the use of aqueous potassium carbonate (KCO) solutions as a solvent for CO absorption, emphasizing the role of titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles in enhancing performance. A detailed understanding of reaction kinetics and the dynamic behavior of the absorber is crucial for optimizing the process.

Sn-doped TiO-carbon composites were identified as promising multifunctional supports for Pt electrocatalysts, in which the oxide component enhances resistance against corrosion and strong metal-support interactions at the Pt-oxide boundary ensure high stability for the Pt nanoparticles. This work is devoted to the study of the influence of preliminary functionalization of the carbon on the properties of Pt/TiSnO-C catalysts. The structural, compositional and morphological differences between the samples prepared using functionalized or unmodified carbon, as well as the effect of carbon pre-modification on the electrocatalytic behavior of the synthesized Pt catalysts, were investigated using TEM, XRD, XPS, nitrogen adsorption and electrochemical measurements.

Climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution are disrupting earth's biophysical systems, with adverse effects on local and global human health. Planetary health describes the inextricable link between human health and the health of earth's biophysical systems. There is urgent need for a stronger focus on planetary health among healthcare systems and radiology departments.
