The goal of this research is to investigate the impact of tourism on sustainable development in the 10 most visited countries. For this purpose, following the STIRPAT model, the impact of urbanization, energy intensity, and tourism on the newly designed sustainable development index is examined for the period 1995-2015. In doing so, tourism is represented by two different indicators, the number of tourists and tourism receipts. In addition, the impact of tourism on economic growth is analyzed to compare the effects of tourism development on economic growth and sustainable development. While doing this, second-generation panel data methods are used to take into account the possible inter-country dependency. According to the findings obtained in the study, tourism, energy intensity, and urbanization have positive effects on economic growth. On the other hand, the effects of all three factors on the sustainable development index are negative and statistically significant. These findings indicate that the harmful effects of tourism on other dimensions of sustainable development are greater than the beneficial effects of tourism on economic growth.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are transformative platforms for heterogeneous catalysis, but distinguishing atomically dispersed metal sites from subnanometric clusters remains a major challenge. This often demands the integration of multiple characterization techniques, many of which either lack the resolving power to distinguish active sites from their surrounding environments (e.g.

Silkworms are emerging as a sustainable food source to address global food security, with their proteins recognized for nutritional and medicinal benefits. However, the impact of silkworm oil on immunological and pharmacological effects remains unexplored. This study explores the effects of the muga (Antheraea assamensis Helfer) silkworm pupal oil fraction (MP) on palmitic acid (PA) induced hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress.

Lignin, traditionally considered a low-value byproduct of the pulp and paper industry, has gained significant attention in recent years as a sustainable precursor for the development of functional materials. This paradigm shift is driven by recent studies exploring the structure-property-performance relationships of lignin-based functional materials, which have provided valuable insights for selective chemical functionalization or pretreatment of lignin. Furthermore, the use of complementary analytical techniques has helped to shed light into lignin's complex and heterogeneous structure, opening new avenues for chemical modification.

Horticultural crops are increasingly exposed to simultaneous abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and temperature extremes, which often exacerbate each other's effects, leading to severe yield and quality losses. Addressing these multifaceted challenges necessitates the development and application of integrated and innovative strategies. This review highlights recent advancements in methodologies to enhance the resilience of horticultural crops against combined abiotic stresses.

Excessive fossil fuel combustion has accelerated renewable energy development, with hydrogen energy emerging as a promising alternative due to its high energy density and environmental compatibility. Photocatalytic hydrogen production through solar energy conversion represents a viable approach for sustainable development. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered significant research interest owing to their structural tunability, well-defined catalytic sites, and post-synthetic modification capabilities.
