The main goal of the study was to develop new innovative aspects such as a new approach to produce comfortable UV shielding fabrics with UPF > +50 by engineering innovative structured textiles surfaces, combining natural selected dyes and modified nanoclays leading to high UV rays reflection and increased use of renewable resources (natural dyes) and safe natural minerals (clays) with high impact on human health and environment (avoidance of the substances excluded by eco- labels and the REACH SVHC candidate list) were envisaged. The paper present the level of UPF obtained by using different textile materials treated with NanomerR I.31PS, Nanomer clay and NanomerR I.28 E, Nanomer clay.

Alginate Fiber

With the development of the society, in the field of textile people begin to pursue comfort, health and nature clothing. Traditional textile materials rely too such on petroleum and chemical industry, while global crude oil price is rising and the production process is easy to cause environmental pollution. All of these promote the research and development of new textile fiber. Alginate fiber taken from the ocean having rich renewable resources and excellent environmental protection features opens a new and important source of fiber. This paper mainly introduces the development situation, the characteristics and the application prospect of alginate fiber, and elaborates the alginate fiber application in the clothing products.

Approaches To Study

The COVID-19 pandemic crisis has compromised the ‘healthy cities’ vision, as it has unveiled the need to give more prominence to caring tasks while addressing intersectional social inequities and environmental injustices. However, much-needed transdisciplinary approaches to study and address post-COVID-19 healthy cities challenges and agendas have been scarce so far. To address this gap, we propose a ‘just ecofeminist healthy cities’ research approach, which would be informed by the caring city, environmental justice, just ecofeminist sustainability and the healthy cities paradigms and research fields. Our proposed approach aims to achieve the highest standards of human health possible for the whole population—yet putting the health of socially underprivileged residents in the centre—through preserving and/or improving the existing physical, social and political environment. Importantly, the proposed approach recognises all spheres of daily life (productive, reproductive, personal and political) and their connections with inequities, justice and power dynamics. Last, the just ecofeminist healthy cities approach understands human health as interconnected with the health of non-human animals and the ecosystem. We illustrate the proposed new approach focusing on the implications for women’s health and public green spaces research and propose principles and practices for its operationalisation.

Helminths are a group of invertebrates of major scientific interest due to their high impact on public health and the diverse evolutionary histories that some of its members have followed in order to adapt to the parasitic lifestyle. In the Neotropical region, though, helminth research has been traditionally associated with their effect on public health. This topic awaits more reflection and political support for its beneficial implementation, especially in rural zones where the prevalence of infection by helminth parasites in humans can be very high (Cabrera, 2003).

The article describes one of the most urgent needs of the investigation the development of a fundamentally new approach to the forensic medical assessment of harm to human health caused by environmental crimes. Th e special signifi cance of new approaches to establishing a causal relationship between a committed environmental off ense and harm to life and (or) health, including for distinguishing from other possible anthropogenic impacts, is shown. A practical example of expert assistance to the investigation in establishing the circumstances to be proved during the investigation of an environmental crime is given.

People’S Attitudes

The direct interactions between people and nature are critically important in many ways, with growing attention particularly on their impacts on human health and wellbeing (both positive and negative), on people's attitudes and behaviour towards nature, and on the benefits and hazards to wildlife. A growing evidence base is accelerating the understanding of different forms that these direct human–nature interactions take, novel analyses are revealing the importance of the opportunity and orientation of individual people as key drivers of these interactions, and methodological developments are increasingly making apparent their spatial, temporal and socio-economic dynamics. Here, we provide a roadmap of these advances and identify key, often interdisciplinary, research challenges that remain to be met. We identified several key challenges, including the need to characterize individual people's nature interactions through their life course, to determine in a comparable fashion how these interactions vary across much more diverse geographical, cultural and socio-economic contexts that have been explored to date, and to quantify how the relative contributions of people's opportunity and orientation vary in shaping their nature interactions. A robust research effort, guided by a focus on such unanswered questions, has the potential to yield high-impact insights into the fundamental nature of human–nature interactions and contribute to developing strategies for their appropriate management.

Environment has become one of the major issues of society, and how to use existing resources to serve in the community is a major development in future issues. The new building is not only to protect human health and enhance comfort; use logically and effectively energy and resources, reduce pollution and is one of methods to make environment get out of crisis. In this paper, in order to reduce pollution emissions of building, developing the new eco-building, look forward to the rational application of resources, namely the construction method of straw to straw as raw materials of modular housing. This paper introduced in details about the benefits of house and the trends of housing development in the future.

Evolution Of Metabolic Pathways

ABSTRACTSynthetic biological pathways could enhance the development of novel processes to produce chemicals from renewable resources. On the basis of models that describe the evolution of metabolic pathways and enzymes in nature, we developed a framework to rationally identify enzymes able to catalyze reactions on new substrates that overcomes one of the major bottlenecks in the assembly of a synthetic biological pathway. We verified the framework by implementing a pathway with two novel enzymatic reactions to convert isopentenyl diphosphate into 3-methyl-3-butenol, 3-methyl-2-butenol, and 3-methylbutanol. To overcome competition with native pathways that share the same substrate, we engineered two bifunctional enzymes that redirect metabolic flux toward the synthetic pathway. Taken together, our work demonstrates a new approach to the engineering of novel synthetic pathways in the cell.

This paper reports on a new approach to the creation process in fashion design as a result of the exploitation of thermal camouflage in the conceptualization of clothing. The thermal images’ main variation factors were obtained through the analysis of their color behavior in a (diurnal and nocturnal) outdoor beach environment, with the presence and absence of a dressed human body (through the use of a thermal imaging camera), such as the analysis of textile materials in a laboratory (simulating the captured outdoor atmospheric temperatures and those of the model’s skin using the climatic chamber and the thermal manikin). The combination of different patternmaking, sewing and printing techniques in textile materials, along with the study of the camouflage environment and the human body’s variation factors, as well as the introduction of biomimetic-inspired elements (chameleon’s skin), enabled the creation of a clothing design process with innovative de-sign elements which allow us to thermally camouflage the human body and take clothing beyond the visible spectrum in a functional and artistic way.
