In our world where climate change is gradually disrupting economic stability and threatening global financial systems. Growing scrutiny has been placed on the responsibility of central banks, especially the United States Federal Reserve (Fed), to address environmental risks. The Fed is essential in determining the nation’s monetary policy, but its direct engagement in climate initiatives and support for renewable energy is somewhat restricted. Nonetheless, the Fed has become more aware of the financial threats associated with climate change and has started to incorporate climate-related factors into its overall policy framework. This research article tries to find how the Fed is integrating climate action into its monetary policy outline and its efforts including risk assessment and sustainable green finance. Moreover, this paper examines Fed action to measure and mitigate climate-related risks, including testing financial institutions for climate resilience and encouraging the transition to a low carbon economy through the adoption and integration of sustainable financial practices. Furthermore, this paper investigates into how the Fed can stimulate green investments, promote climate-related financial disclosures, and maintain long-term economic stability in terms of environmental challenges. This can be done due to examining recent policy actions and directions in United States. While emphasizes that the Federal Reserve's integration of climate into its mandate demonstrates a deeper transformation toward alignment of monetary policy with global sustainability aims.

Gypsum Calcination in order to Clear Impurities and to Use Phosphogypsum at its Entire Cycle Microbial Bioremediation

Feb 3, 2025

Journal NTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY

The largest by-product of the phosphate industry is phosphogypsum (PG). Out of the 300 million tons of PG disposed of annually, fifty-eight percent are stacked dry. When PG stacks are exposed to water and managed waters, the moisture creates pressure that drives weight and releases acidic PG leachates into nearby aquifer frameworks. The elevated levels of sulfates, phosphorus (P), and metals in the PG water leachate can have a negative impact on the surrounding conditions. This work explores the impact of water action on the PG filtering, anaerobic bioremediation of PG leachate by natural sulfate expulsion movement (BSRA) is followed by the effect of various PG: Water proportions on the filtering handle. This afterward includes utilizing sulfate-reducing microbe’s consortium inside an anaerobic bioreactor, permitting a concurrent observing of the leachate from biochemical changes, debasements evacuation, and microbial community flow. The results show that the most noteworthy sulfates and pollutions filtering from PG with a PG: Water proportion of 1:200 (w: v). In this way, the natural treatment of the leachate shown a productive evacuation of sulfates (79%), P (99%) and chemical oxygen request (93%), with a significant decrease in metal concentrations (Cd, As and Al by 99%, and Zn by 70%) from the leachate. Besides, the causticity of the leachate was too neutralized through the BSRA handle by expanding the pH from 4 to 7.52. Moreover, the community of microbial flow disclosed a noteworthy relationship between the leachate’s biochemical changes and co-existence of particular sulfate-reducing microscopic organisms inside different bacterial phyla, counting Desulfobacterota, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria, permitting proficient and eco-friendly bioremediation handle of PG leachate. As it discusses the bioremediation of phosphogypsum leachate by removing impurities like sulfates, metals, and improving ph. This aligns with your focus on using microbial bioremediation to treat and purify phosphogypsum for its entire cycle.

The currently pandemic virus called SARS-CoV-2 is an international health issue that we have interacted with since World War II. The virus was discovered in the Chinese city of Wuhan in 2019 and has since spread worldwide. Globally, the number of cases is increasing, with new cases being reported in Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Europe. This paper is intended to analyze 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) knowledge, perceptions, and behaviors toward the substance within the general population in the city of Sulaymaniyah. The study was conducted as a cross-sectional survey with 100 adults from various locations throughout Sulaymaniyah. These places were selected based on the ease of access for survey participants (location and collaboration). A survey questionnaire was structured to gather details regarding gender, age, ethnicity, and education level for all respondents. Other metrics assess details on the illness, its origin, method of transmission, symptoms and indications, incubation time, transmission period, and prevention steps. Eventually, we regained that people have been given enough instructions by the ministry of world health and social media. The majority of Sulaymaniyah residents are aware of how to protect themselves against COVID-19. The results suggest that clear messaging from government and health agencies are required to increase awareness and attitudes and that health promotion campaigns are needed to improve knowledge and attitudes.

Introduction: Using dietary supplements has gained interest amongst people who desire to enhance their body composition. However, there are scant published data regarding the use of nutritional supplements and gym users. This study is to assess the intake of nutritional and dietary supplements among gym members in Sulaymaniyah city, Iraqi Kurdistan. Methods: The results of this study are based on the responses of one hundred gym members (aged over 18 years) to a self-administered questionnaire. Results: Almost half of the sample reported taking nutritional supplements and hormones. Thirty percent of the participants were consuming different protein powders. Most dietary supplement users noticed some side effects. Supplement users should always consult their physicians and been under the supervision of professional trainers and medical practitioners to avoid any side effects such as hypertension, hepatic disturbance, kidney disorders, hepatic, kidney disturbance, and muscle pain. However, some people (gym participants) may experience allergies, upset stomach/abdominal pain, and frequent urination. Conclusion: The usage rate of fitness supplements is very high, and the users are not aware of the potential consequences or dangers of unsupervised practice or unprescribed products. Therefore, there is an immediate need to promote consumers’ awareness of this issue, and the latest scientific data must be provided to users and coaches concerning consuming supplements.

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoclusters (SPIONs) modified with pH (low) insertion peptide (pHLIP) could be advantageous for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnosis of liver tumors at the early stage due to their unique responsiveness to the tumor acidic microenvironment when tumor markers are unknown. However, many critical aspects including the effectiveness of selective MRI in liver tumors, types of delivery and the potential safety profile in cirrhosis need to be fully evaluated. In this study, we report the evaluation of non-targeting, C- or N-pHLIP modified SPIONs as the contrast agent for selective MRI of liver tumors and their potential toxicity profile in cirrhosis. It was found that N-pHLIP modified SPIONs did not result in the loss of liver tumor in the T2-weight MRI but provided additional dynamic details of tumor structures that would enhance the diagnosis of liver tumors at a small size below 8 mm. In addition, an enhanced safety profile was found for N-pHLIP modified SPIONs with almost fully recoverable impact in cirrhosis. In contrast, the poly-D-lysine assembled SPIONs and C terminus linked pHLIP SPIONs had non-tumor specific MRI contrast enhancement and potential safety risks in cirrhosis due to the iron overload post injection. All these results implied the promising potential of N-terminus linked pHLIP SPIONs as an MRI contrast agent for the diagnosis of liver tumors.

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) are contrast agents used for noninvasive tumor magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). SPION with active targeting by tumor-specific ligands can effectively enhance the MRI sensitivity and specificity of tumors. However, the challenge remains when the tumor specific markers are yet to be determined, especially in the case of early tumor detection. In this study, the effectiveness of pH-responsive SPION via a pH low insertion peptide (pHLIP) to target tumor acidic microenvironments was investigated. Polylysine polymers were first successfully modified with pHLIP to have the pH-responsive capability. SPION pHLIP nanoclusters of 64, 82, 103, and 121 nm size were then assembled by the pH-responsive polymers in a size-controlled manner. The pH-responsive SPION nanoclusters of the 64 nm size exhibited the most effective pH-responsive retention in cells and tumor selective imaging in MRI. More importantly, the unique contrast enhancement of tumor inner core by the pH-responsive SPION in three different tumor models demonstrated the clinical potential to target tumor acidic microenvironment through pHLIP for tumor early detection and diagnosis by MRI.
