The microbiome and aging: Unlocking new frontiers in healthy longevity
Research conducted by the USF Microbiomes Institute and the MiaGB Consortium is uncovering the significant link between microbial communities and host biology. This understanding could lead to new therapies for age-related conditions. Shalini Jain, Christian Brechot, and Hariom Yadav provide further insights. Aging is often called a “silver tsunami” due to its overwhelming and rapidly approaching impact. By 2050, the global population aged 65 and older is expected to exceed 1.6 billion, doubling from current numbers. In the United States alone, 16% of the population (54 million individuals) is aged 65 or older, projected to rise to 22% by 2040. This demographic shift poses many challenges for individuals, families, and healthcare systems.
The logical reasoning why AI/ML is a hoax and how Inora’s Organic Intelligence Core solves the problem

The logical reasoning why AI/ML is a hoax and how Inora’s organic intelligence core solves the problem
AI suffers from inaccurate, numerically unvalidated calculations which lead to randomly accurate and unreliable results. Accuracy is the deviation from a True Value which Inora Technologies OICT Provides. The foundation of intelligence is the accurate and reliable processing of information. Even though artificial intelligence (AI) currently has significant hype, we believe AI is not intelligent. This is, unfortunately, true because the calculations within the AI completely lack the ability to numerically evaluate complex data accurately. AI and, specifically, large language models (LLMs) base their calculations on neural networks. These networks “learn” to orient themselves within data sets by randomly making internal adjustments until the results “look good” to subjective human judgment.

An ancient therapy modernized for Clostridioides Difficile therapy
Clostridioides difficile is a type of bacteria that often affects people who have been taking antibiotics. Glenn S. Tillotson of GST Micro LLC explains how live biotherapeutic products have shown promise as a safe and effective treatment to help restore the normal gut microbiome. The normal human gastrointestinal tract provides multiple functions essential for health. When the balance of the complex collection of microorganisms (the microbiome) is disturbed, this leads to a phenomenon called dysbiosis. Microbes protect us against harmful bacteria, synthesize nutrients, and enable us to digest food. A damaged gut can lead to multiple conditions or contribute to various diseases, one of which is Clostridioides difficile, or ‘C. diff.’ This is the most common cause of antibiotic- and healthcare-associated infectious diarrhea in the US. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, C. diff. causes approximately half a million infections in the US every year, resulting in 30,000 deaths.

Fuelling the global supply of medical radioisotopes for cancer care
European research reactors play a crucial role in producing medical radioisotopes using nuclear fuel and are transitioning to Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) to meet non-proliferation commitments and global demand. Jared Wight tells us how he and his colleagues are working to ensure a smooth conversion to LEU fuels. Nuclear medicine is critical in the fight against cancer. It relies on research reactors to produce the medical isotopes needed for treatment and diagnosis. As part of a global effort to reduce security risks, many reactors are transitioning from highly enriched uranium (HEU) to low-enriched uranium (LEU). This shift not only strengthens nuclear security but also ensures a stable supply of life-saving radioisotopes. In this way, fueling the fight against cancer takes on a new meaning, as the move to LEU supports both healthcare and global security.

Rethinking schools: How the philosophy of education holds the key to real change
Stephanie Schneider, an Associate Professor at the State University of New York at Old Westbury, discusses the importance of examining fundamental philosophical questions regarding the purpose of education and the values it should promote. ‘It is nothing short of a miracle that modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry.’ [quoted in The New York Times, March 13, 1949, p. 34]. ‘The wit was not wrong who defined education in this way: ‘Education is that which remains, if one has forgotten everything he learned in school.’ [quoted in Albert Einstein, Ideas and Opinions, p. 63].

Historians, archives, and the stories we create
Learning about history through archives can help historians expand the way they acquire and interpret information. Cecilia Morgan, from the University of Toronto, discusses how archives have influenced her own research. All historians have archive stories, although not all historians experience the archives in quite the same way. So, it’s fitting to start this article with the oft-quoted line from fellow Canadian Joni Mitchell’s song, Big Yellow Taxi: “You don’t know what you’ve got ‘till it’s gone.” Or, in my case, not so much gone as (fortunately temporarily) inaccessible. From March 2020 until the spring of 2022, the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus closed the two university archives that hold the two large collections of family correspondence on which my research project – a study of two middle-class settler families in nineteenth-century Ontario – depends.

On the origin of consciousness
Dr Peter Verheyen from the Sola Society & Academy at Vienna University examines the origin of consciousness and various ways in which information serves as the fundamental building block of the universe. Consider the following: A scientist studying atoms is a group of atoms studying themselves. This is a strange way of looking at reality. To understand, we have to travel through the world of the infinitesimal, governed by rules and laws different from the ones we know from our classical world. We must enter the world of information.

Solutions for better sleep
Dr Lianne Tomfohr-Madsen highlights sleep health equity research to inform best practices and policies to improve the sleep of all Canadians. We spend about a third of our lives asleep. Sleep is modifiable, and better sleep contributes to personal and community wellbeing, making optimizing sleep health an urgent public health priority. The demands of a Western lifestyle (urgency, productivity), economic stressors, discrimination, loneliness, and global crises all contribute to poor sleep health, particularly for people who are the most socially and economically vulnerable. (1) Focusing on prevention and intervention through evidence-informed approaches is essential to enhance health outcomes and quality of life.

Data integration: A key to understanding the biological basis of mental disorders
Vladimir Vladimirov discusses two key advancements in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and gene expression data to better understand the biological basis of mental disorders. The economic burden of severe mental disorders, such as schizophrenia (SZ), bipolar disorder (PB), or major depressive disorder (MDD), is estimated at approximately $280bn annually. Most importantly, these are chronic and currently uncurable disorders with significant negative impacts on society and families. Even though we are already a quarter of a century into the 21st century, the currently available medication for the treatment of these disorders has not improved since the early 80s. A primary reason for the lack of novel and potentially more effective (with fewer side effects) drugs for the treatment of mental disorders is that we did not have a good grasp of the biological and genetic mechanisms underlying the disease etiology. However, our understanding of the genetics, if not yet biological, basis of psychiatric disorders has substantially improved over the last two decades, notably due to significant technological breakthroughs. Below, I give a short overview of two critical advancements in the field related to the integration of genome-wide associations scans (GWAS) and transcriptome (gene expression) data generated in psychiatric patients as one of the pathways of moving forward toward elucidating the biological basis of mental disorders.

Revolutionizing business with sustainable strategic management
Discover how Sustainable Strategic Management empowers businesses to lead humanity’s transformation before Earth regulates our species into extinction. In an era of unprecedented global challenges, one powerful force stands uniquely positioned to reshape our future: business. However, traditional strategic management, focused narrowly on competitive advantage within industry boundaries, has led us catastrophically short of meeting today’s complex challenges. We need Sustainable Strategic Management (SSM) – a revolutionary approach that harnesses business’s vast resources, global reach, and unparalleled influence to transform how humanity operates within planetary boundaries. This transformation isn’t optional; it’s imperative for business survival and human flourishing in the Anthropocene era.

Regulatory impact assessment and policymaking research
Kati Rantala, Research Director at the Faculty of Social Sciences, analyses Regulatory Impact Assessment as a policymaking tool. Regulatory policy decisions intend to impact societies in far-reaching ways, affecting people and businesses, organisations and institutions, as well as animals and the environment. However, in an inherently complex world, unknown variables can influence the outcomes of regulations. This is why they do not always work as intended and can also produce harmful unintentional effects.

Soil parent material: The role of earth’s skin on forest health
Soil is complex, posing challenges for measurement and management at scale. Mark Kimsey from the University of Idaho highlights the importance of monitoring soil properties in forest management. This has resulted in digital tools that help align management practices with the characteristics of soil parent material and climatic conditions. Lately, much of our research and regulatory focus in managing forested natural resources has centered on climate and its long-term variability. While this focus is justified, we often overlook the foundational world beneath our feet—the Earth’s skin, known as soil. Soil is inherently complex, both literally and metaphorically, presenting challenges in measurement, modeling, and management at scale. Despite these challenges, soil is fundamentally responsible for a forest’s health, productivity, and resilience to both natural and human-induced stressors.

Why “learn-from-anywhere” technology can help solve chronic school absence
Megan Gilmour, Churchill Policy and Deakin University Honorary Fellow, Australia, calls for legislation, technology, and policy to address complex school absence during medical or mental health challenges. Health and education are vital to sustainable development. Yet in schools across developed countries, up to 30% of students (1.2 million in Australia), risk missing school, for months to years, due to complex medical or mental health challenges. Complex health conditions can range from physical illnesses like arthritis, cancer, or rare diseases, to mental conditions (including anxiety), and may cross-over with disability and the recent surge of students confronting so-called “school refusal”.

Developing mathematics teacher confidence through increasing understanding of mathematics
Dr. Jennifer Holm, from Wilfrid Laurier University, walks us through the importance of developing mathematics teacher confidence through increasing understanding of mathematics. Effective mathematics teaching requires mathematics teachers who have the confidence and knowledge to support all learners in developing an understanding of mathematics. Concerns about the teaching and learning of mathematics have been ubiquitous in both the media and in ministries of education. In my research, I have focused on exploring why many mathematics teachers struggle with their own confidence in teaching the subject. A key issue I have identified is the widespread belief that the more mathematics a teacher knows, the more confident they will be in the classroom.

How new programs help veterans reconnect after service
Dr William T. Howe from Texas Tech University outlines recent developments in reintegration and communication among United States military veterans. Service in the United States Military (USM) presents significant challenges as the USM transforms ordinary citizens into a cohesive fighting force through structured turning points (Howe & Hinderaker, 2018). This transformation is underpinned by decades of research and careful refinement of communication strategies used by drill sergeants and instructors. These strategies are crucial in fostering a value-oriented military identity among recruits. The entry training process has two primary aims: to instruct new service members in essential military combat skills and to unify individuals from diverse backgrounds into a single combat unit. Through this rigorous training, the military intentionally cultivates a distinct culture and identity that mandates adherence to established professional and organizational communication standards (Shpeer & Howe, 2020). This comprehensive training equips recruits with critical combat skills and instills core values such as discipline, teamwork, and loyalty to their unit and country. By enhancing a cohesive identity among recruits, the military lays a strong foundation for effective communication within its ranks, ensuring all service members share a common understanding necessary for collaborative efforts toward shared objectives.

Forest ecosystem supports almost all of the needs of human being through its contribution of tangible and intangible values. Currently, the intangible values have gained less attention than the tangible values that cause underestimation of the total value of the forest conversion into other more tangibly profitable usages, and miss-management of the forest. One of the important intangible values is the hydrological value that has been hardly calculated until now. This research the intangible values of water for household, transportation, agriculture and fishing in Mendalam Sub Watershed, Kalimantan. The economic values calculated based on market prices, opportunity costs and consumer’s surplus methods. The results showed that based on the opportunity cost method the economic values of the hydrological services was about Rp 8,043,706,237.50 per year. Meanwhile, the economic values of the hydrological services based on the consumer’s surplus method gave lower value than the former method, i.e. Rp 8,031,351,664.60 per year. This study showed that the economic value of the hydrological services was very high, which has not been included in the calculation yet. However, without trees there would be no forest and all other values included water value would not exist. Consequently, current forest management should put forest ecosystem as important to consider.
ANALYSIS OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS DISTINGUISHER FOR AGARWOOD QUALITIES

Published: January 2025

Gaharu (Agarwood) is described as a fragrant-smelling wood that is usually derived from the trunk of the genus Aquilaria and Gyrinops (both of the family Thymelaeaceae), which have been infected by a particular disease. Based on Indonesian National Standard, agarwood can be classified into various grades, i.e. gubal gaharu, kemedangan and serbuk gaharu. The grading system is based on the color, weight and odor. It seems that such a grading is too subjective for agarwood classification. Therefore, to minimize the subjectivity, more objective agarwood grading is required, which incorporates its chemical composition and resin content. This research was conducted focusing on the analysis of the particular grade of agarwood originating from West Sumatra. The different types of agarwood qualities are: kemedangan C, teri C, kacangan C and super AB. Initially, the obtained agarwood samples were grounded to powder, extracted on a Soxhlet extractor using various organic solvents (i.e. n-hexane, acetone, and methanol). The agarwood-acetone extracts were analyzed using GC-MS to determine its chemical composition. The results showed a positive, linier relationship in which the resin yield increased with the increase in agarwood quality grades. GC-MS analysis revealed that several sesquiterpene groups can be found in kemedangan C, teri C, kacangan C and super AB qualities. It is interesting that aromadendrene could be identified or found in all agarwood quality grades. Therefore, it is presumed that the aromadendrene compounds can act as an effective chemical distinguisher for agarwood, whereby the greater the aromadendrene content, the better is the agarwood grade.

Published: January 2025

Recent studies of fast growing species grown in PT. Sari Bumi Kusuma, Central Kalimantan, show that based on their fiber dimensions there are five species, namely Endospermum diadenum, Dillenia spp., Adinandra dumosa, Adiandra sp., and Nauclea junghuhnii with good potential for pulp and paper production. The fiber length of those five wood species are was more than 2,200 µm on average. This paper studies the physical properties, fiber dimensions and their chemical contents to predict the paper and pulp quality. The result shows that all of the species were classified in the medium to high density category. All species were classified into the first class quality for pulp and paper. Based on chemical contents, Dillenia sp. is the most suitable species due to its high value of holocellulose and a-cellulose, low lignin content, and its fiber length is about 3,119 µm on average. A. dumosa also has good opportunities because it had the longest fiber lengths (3,137 µm on average) and high value of holocellulose, even though it has the highest lignin content. While Nuclea junghuhnii is less suitable due to low values of holocellulose and a-cellulose.

The second (2nd) and third (3rd) segment of Ciliwung middle-stream watershed land use have changed drastically over the past two decades. The second (2nd) and third (3rd) segment of Ciliwung middle-stream watershed land use have changed drastically over the past two decades. This paper analyses the land use change from 1989-2012 and its impact on decreasing carbon stock or increasing CO2 eq emission, as well as to establish projected Reference Level (RL) to 2020. Best RL projection was used to establish the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) in both segments. The land use changing from 1989-2012 indicated a reduction of green space area by 2,575.57 ha whereas the non-green space area increased by 2,575.57 ha. These changes decreases the carbon stock by 26,900 ton C and released CO eq emission by about 98,723 ton CO2eq. Population growth, demand on land and land constraints were found to be the driving factors of land use changes in this area. Reference Level 2020 was established based on business as usual (BAU) and forward looking (FL) scenarios. The projection showed that FL was the best scenario which estimated carbon storage at 217,610 ton C in 2020. Low carbon development strategy directed to the area of green space added up to 20% carbon storage through the implementation of the strategy based on green space and non-green space which covered the areas from protection, supervision, extension or awareness and law enforcement.
