Due to the growing interest of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Member States in implementing targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) in general, the demand for alpha-emitting radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals is enormous. As an international platform for peaceful applications of radionuclides, the IAEA has been implementing several activities focusing on the production and quality control of alpha emitters and radiopharmaceuticals as well as capacity building in the field, through Technical Meetings, Workshops, Publications and Conference Supports, IAEA-Coordinated Research Projects (CRP) and Technical Cooperation Program (TC). This review article summarises the IAEA activities on the production and quality control of alpha emitter radiopharmaceuticals for targeted alpha therapy (TAT) and a roadmap to future steps including but not limited to the ongoing CRP on Ac-radiopharmaceuticals.

Microplastics (MPs) are considered one of the main pollution issues on the planet. This study constitutes the initial assessment of MPs on sandy beaches in Cuba. Four beaches with different characteristics and anthropogenic activities were selected on the north and south coasts of the island's central region.

Aim: To analyze the association between Fat Mass Index (FMI), Free Fat Mass Index (FFMI), Free Fat Mass/Fat Mass (FFM/FM), and Body Mass Index (BMI) among young adult Saudi women and to explore how these body composition indices are associated with sleep and physical activity patterns.
Methods: A total of 1,741 university female students participated in this cross-sectional study. Body composition was measured using the InBody 270 body composition analyzer.

Background: Aedes aegypti is expected to invade previously unoccupied areas, mainly due to the climate change, the increase in travel and trade activities and the continuous transformation of the rural environment into urban areas. The sterile insect technique (SIT), which relies on the mass production and release of sterile males, is an environmentally friendly approach that can be applied for population control of Ae. aegypti.

Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) may pose radiological risks across various industrial processes. Characterizing NORM is challenging due to radionuclide diversity, complex material matrices, and the multiple analytical techniques required. This study documents an Intercomparison Exercise (ICE) on the radioanalytical characterization of NORM, organized by International Atomic Energy Agency and EEAE to evaluate participants' abilities to implement appropriate radioanalytical techniques and promote harmonization, thus contributing to ongoing optimization efforts into radiation protection of workers and the public.
