A sustainable approach to smart manufacturing: The IndustriSphere digital twins initiative
(Corresponding) Achillas C., Vlachokostas C., Mallidis I., Tzetzis D., Kotsoglou A., Michailidou A., Savva C., Aidonis D.
Topic:
5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
Modern industrial production faces several critical challenges, including inefficiency, lack of adaptability, and unsustainable practices. Traditional manufacturing systems struggle with high operational costs, suboptimal resource utilization, and limited capabilities for predictive maintenance,...Read more

Advancing Electric Vehicle Technology: Evaluating Supercapacitors Versus Batteries
(Corresponding) Ahmed S., Sospiro P., Gulino M., Laschi M., Vangi D.
Topic:
5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
Electric vehicles (EVs) are crucial in the global shift from fossil fuels towards sustainable transportation. However, conventional EVs alone do not fully address issues such as urban congestion, parking difficulties, battery recycling challenges, and the environmental concerns associated with...Read more

Forest Resilience, Precipitation, and Ecosystem Service Value: A Correlation and Trend Analysis
Nwachukwu P., (Corresponding) Berti-Equille L.
Topic:
6. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS
Ecosystem service value (ESV) is critical for understanding ecosystems' economic benefits and their responses to environmental change. This study uses Earth Observation (EO) data, statistics, and machine learning methods to evaluate ESV trends across multiple continents from 2000 to 2024...Read more
Restoration of burned forest areas in Galicia (NW Spain)
Ferreiro-Domínguez N., Santiago-Freijanes J., Rigueiro-Rodríguez A., (Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada M.
Topic:
12. CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change has a wide-ranging impact on ecosystems, economy, human health and well-being. Therefore, the adaptation to climate change of both forest and agricultural sectors providing solutions to accelerate forest regrowth after extreme events, such as forest fires, by creating a more stable...Read more

Evaluation of Aneurinibacillus aneurinilyticus isolated from corn steep liquor as source of Biosurfactants, Gramicidin S and Polyhydroxyalkanoates
(Corresponding) Moldes A., Lvova K., González-Fernández N., López-Prieto A., Vecino X., Pérez-Cid B., Cruz J.
Topic:
2. CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
This study investigates the potential of Aneurinibacillus aneurinilyticus (A. aneurinilyticus), isolated from corn steep liquor, as a sustainable source of valuable bioproducts such us biosurfactants, Gramicidin S homologs, and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Using phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), a...Read more
Sustainable crop management through the use of biochar and manure based biofertilizers
Ferreiro-Domínguez N., Álvarez-López V., Lado-Liñares M., Santiago-Freijanes J., (Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada M.
Topic:
2. CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
The application of biochar to soil can contribute to reducing climate change through the development of the bioeconomy. However, biochar does not provide adequate amounts of nitrogen to the soil. Therefore, it is necessary to develop biofertilizers based on a mixture of biochar with a residual...Read more
(Corresponding) Záray G., Tserendorj D., Petrics M., Sandil S., Károly Á., Dobosy P.
Topic:
3. PLASTICS IN THE ENVIRONMENT
Both the cellulose-based (CB) natural and petroleum-based (PB) artificial microfibers originating from wastewater treatment plants and atmospheric deposition are characteristic contaminants in the riverine environ-ment. Due to their extremely slow degradation and long resident time, the research...Read more
Firm Size and Sustainability Certifications: Understanding Business Economic Drivers in Certification Adoption
(Corresponding) Liscio M., Bregoli D., Narang G., Perugini F., Sospiro P.
Topic:
2. CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
This study explores how firm size influences sustainability certification adoption in Italy. Expanding from a regional to a national scope, a two-step methodology is used: web-scraping to assess how firms present certifications online and statistical analysis correlating adoption rates with firm...Read more

Distribution of lithium and fluorine containing compounds in the Hungarian section of the Danube River
(Corresponding) Dobosy P., Orenibi E., Illés Á., Sandil S., Endrédi A., Szekeres J., Záray G.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Due to the increasing production and recycling of lithi-um batteries over the world, we can calculate with in-creasing fluorine contamination in the aquatic environ-ment and drinking water reservoirs. This study was con-ducted to qualification and quantification of five parame-ters; elemental...Read more
Elevated temperature impact on toxicological effects of pesticides, antimicrobials and their mixtures to duckweed Lemna minor
(Corresponding) Miškelytė D., Zaltauskaite J., Manusadzianas L.
Topic:
12. CLIMATE CHANGE
Anthropogenic chemical pollution has the potential to pose one of the largest environmental threats to humanity, but global understanding of the issue remains fragmented. Water pollution becomes alarming since anthropogenic activity results in the contamination of water bodies with various...Read more
