Article Abstract

Background: Sports and physical activity are important contributors to the development of nations. International calls advocate for the creation of a system of indicators to measure the impact of physical activity and sports on the sustainable development of regions.

Methods: Twelve indicators of Sports and Development for the Ibero-American region were developed by a consortium comprised by the Ibero-American Sports Council, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, and the German Agency for International Cooperation. In Bogota, this set of indicators was implemented and informed with survey data, policy documents, and administrative data at the city level.

Results: Nine of the 12 indicators were informed based on the most recent available information, reaching 75% implementation. All the indicators corresponding to the economy, health, and peace and social cohesion dimensions were informed. The indicators with missing information were related to education, gender equality, and inclusion.

Conclusions: The pilot implementation of the Ibero-American indicators for Sport and Development in Bogota suggests that physical activity and sport actions and investments are a priority for the district government and can contribute to sustainable development. Our results provide a baseline that should be followed up to monitor and evaluate the efforts that the city is implementing to promote active living and sustainable development.

Principles of Industry-Academic Partnerships Informed by Digital Mental Health Collaboration: Mixed Methods Study.

JMIR Ment Health

September 2025

National Institute of Health and Care Research MindTech HealthTech Research Centre, School of Medicine, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom.

Background: Cross-sector collaboration is increasingly recognized as essential for addressing complex health challenges, including those in mental health. Industry-academic partnerships play a vital role in advancing research and developing health solutions, yet differing priorities and perspectives can make collaboration complex.

Objective: This study aimed to identify key principles to support effective industry-academic partnerships, from the perspective of industry partners, and develop this into actionable guidance, which can be applied across sectors.

To explore strategies for further reducing aeration energy consumption in the simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) process, an SND reactor was constructed to treat low carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio domestic wastewater under ultra-low dissolved oxygen (DO) conditions (DO < 0.05 mg·L⁻). The effects of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and C/N ratio on nitrogen removal performance were systematically evaluated, and batch experiments were conducted to determine nitrification and denitrification rates.

This study focuses on mineral groundwater in alpine regions and its sustainable exploitation. The Tongde basin on Tibetan Plateau was investigated to reveal the hydrochemistry and formation of mineral groundwater in alpine basins and its sustainable development under anthropogenic disturbances. The results show that groundwater there is characterized by enriched strontium, with concentrations in the range of 0.

Transient electronics that can degrade after fulfilling their designed functionalities offer transformative potentials in biomedical implants (eliminating secondary surgeries), ecofriendly consumer electronics (reducing e-waste), and secure systems. However, the development of reliable transient energy supplies remains a critical challenge, thus limiting their widespread implementation. Among various solutions, wireless power supplies via near-field inductive coupling stand out as particularly promising candidates.
