Interfacial solar vapor generation (SVG) is regarded as a promising and sustainable strategy for clean water production. While many materials have demonstrated excellent evaporation rates under one sun, it remains challenging to design solar evaporators without compromising SVG performance in high-salinity brines (≥10 wt %). Herein, polyzwitterionic hydrogels (PZHs) are proposed as a novel platform for high-salinity solar desalination. Taking advantage of the unique anti-polyelectrolyte effects, PZHs can trap salt ions from the brine water to form a more hydrated polymer network, leading to enhanced SVG performance. PZHs exhibit an exceptional solar evaporation rate of 4.14 kg m −2 h −1 in 10 wt % brine, which is ≈20 % higher than that in pure water. It is anticipated that salt-responsive PZHs may provide insights for the design of next-generation solar desalination systems.

Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) is crucial, yet it is still difficult to implement in companies. This happens because there are various factors known as critical success factors (CSFs) that have a role in the implementation of plans and operational performance in sustainability. The study used multiple-case studies and analyzed four different types of companies that have implemented external sustainability. Based on the within-case analysis, a list of CSFs for external sustainability implementation that differs between organizations is generated for each case. Furthermore, the effects of contingencies toward CSFs implementation are established.

We report a COVID-19 case with carbapenem resistantChryseobacterium indologenesbacteremia. Whole genome sequencing identified the presence ofblaIND-2,blaCIAandblaCcrA. To our knowledge, this is the first report ofChryseobacterium indologenescomplicating COVID-19 and the detection ofblaCcrAinC. indologenes. The presence ofblaCcrAinChryseobacteriumwas overlooked previously may related to substantial sequence divergence with the original allele inBacteroides fragilis. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a challenge to global health in the age of COVID-19 pandemic. Further study and surveillance of underlying mechanisms is needed.

We developed a novel method for synthesizing tungsten trioxide nanoparticles, utilizing orange juice as a sustainable and economical catalyst. This innovative approach eliminates the need for expensive metals and harsh chemicals. The natural components of orange juice, particularly ascorbic acid and citric acid, play a crucial role in the formation and stabilization of these nanoparticles. We thoroughly tested the synthesized nanoparticles using a suite of analytical techniques, including X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results were compelling. When exposed to UV light, the nanoparticles were able to degrade approximately 95% of the model pollutant, methyl orange, demonstrating a rapid and efficient performance. Without the presence of these nanoparticles, the degradation of the pollutant was minimal. This confirms the effectiveness of the tungsten trioxide nanoparticles as a potent and environmentally friendly solution for pollutant degradation in various applications. This method not only offers a green alternative to traditional nanoparticle synthesis but also highlights the potential of using common natural resources in advanced environmental applications.
