Thanks to their unique physicochemical properties, ionic liquids (ILs) have moved from niche academic interest to critical components in various industrial applications. The textile industry, facing significant environmental and economic pressures, has begun to explore ILs as sustainable alternatives to traditional solvents and chemicals. This review summarizes research on the use of ILs in various textile processes, including dyeing, finishing, and fiber recycling, where their high thermal stability, tunable solubility, and low volatility are exploited to reduce resource consumption and environmental impact.

Aiming at net-zero emissions, most international and national policies focus on sustainable development goals. Hence, there is an immediate need for replacing carbon-intensive materials with biomaterials. In this respect, this article presents a road-map for moving from polymeric to sustainable waveguides in optical devices.

Though the United Nations deals with its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in blocs of 15 years at a time, "sustainable" indicates a longer-term focus, aiming at steady human progress, including in public health and welfare. But the alcohol history in many countries shows "long waves" of consumption, repetitively rising, then falling, then rising again. Underlying this dynamic are competing interests pushing in opposite directions.

Computational theories posit that attention is guided by a combination of spatial maps for individual features that can be dynamically weighted according to task goals. Consistent with this framework, when a stimulus contains several features, attending to one or another feature results in stronger fMRI responses in regions preferring the attended feature. We hypothesized that multivariate activation patterns across feature-responsive cortical regions form spatial 'feature dimension maps', which combine to guide attentional priority.

Background: There is an evolving focus on interprofessional education (IPE) to promote teamwork and collaboration in health professions education. Studies in medical students have shown that exposure to IPE leads to perceived improvements in interprofessional communication, effective work in healthcare teams, and understanding of professional limitations. Most research focuses on IPE in undergraduate medical education; less is known about how this functions in graduate medical education.
