Introduction: Climate health is gaining prominence in medical curricula worldwide, with academic and healthcare institutions setting targets to reach carbon net zero. However, the integration of evidence-based strategies to reduce carbon footprint in medical education is constrained by a scarcity of research. This research study uses a novel approach to quantifying the carbon footprint of three teaching modalities within an undergraduate medical curriculum.

Purpose: To determine Asia Pacific cataract surgeons' attitudes toward surgical waste and toward reusing supplies and pharmaceuticals.
Design: Multinational survey of APAO members METHODS: An online survey link was distributed to APAO members through their national ophthalmology societies. Responses were deidentified and compared with those from identical survey questionnaires previously distributed to North American and European cataract surgeons.

Concrete production significantly contributes to CO emissions and depletion of natural resources, leading to substantial environmental concerns. The integration of polymers into concrete has emerged as a promising innovative solution aimed at overcoming inherent limitations of traditional concrete, including brittleness, susceptibility to tracking, environmental degradation, and substantial ecological impacts. This systematic review thoroughly investigates the properties, sustainability implications, and practical challenges associated with polymer-based concrete (PBC), particularly focusing on polymer concrete composites (PCC) and polymer-modified concrete (PMC) detailing their composition, mechanical behavior, and durability.

Anaerobic self-forming dynamic membrane (AnSFDM) bioreactors have attracted increasing attention owing to their cost-effectiveness and lower carbon footprint. AnSFDM formation is the initial process of their operation and of pivotal importance for determining the basic characteristics of AnSFDMs. Nevertheless, the effect of operational parameters on the AnSFDM formation process has not been studied in a systematical and quantitative manner.

This study introduces the HydroTherm-Flow Smart Window (HTF Window), the first groundbreaking integration of thermochromic windows and Fe-Cr redox flow batteries (Fe-Cr RFBs), achieving dual functionalities of dynamic solar modulation-via dual-band (visible + near-infrared, NIR) modulation-and high-efficiency energy storage in a single component. Leveraging tunable hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) hydrogels, it enables ultrafast optical switching and autonomous nighttime opacity, overcoming the slow response and privacy limitations of conventional thermochromic systems. By repurposing the window as a compact electrolyte reservoir, it reduces the RFB spatial footprint while enhancing ionic conductivity by 30% via hydrogel "ion highways," achieving 77% energy efficiency with a 40% reduction in the solar heat gain coefficient.
