How an eye physician who translated classical Greek medicine into Arabic helped form Western medical thought
University of SharjahA recent study argues that a medieval ophthalmologist who translated Greek works by Galen, Hippocrates, and Plato from Greek into Arabic played a pivotal role in shaping Western medical scholarship. The authors base their conclusion on their analysis and translation of a previously little-known treatise by Hunayn Ibn Ishaq written in a question-and-answer format. This treatise crowns ten other works by Hunayn regarded as landmarks in both Islamic and Western medical history. Hunayn, the authors maintain, offers detailed analyses of ocular anatomy, including the layers of the eye and the optic nerve, demonstrating advances that made lasting contributions to Arabic and Western medicine alike.

Turkey at a crossroads: economic growth fuels carbon emissions, but forests and renewables offer a lifeline
Biochar Editorial Office, Shenyang Agricultural UniversityA new study published in Carbon Research reveals the complex relationship between Turkey's economic development and its carbon footprint. Analyzing three decades of data from 1990 to 2020, researchers found that while economic growth, urbanization, industrialization, and tourism have significantly increased CO₂ emissions, the country's renewable energy sector, agricultural productivity, and forests offer a powerful counterbalance. The findings provide a quantitative basis for policies aimed at achieving environmental sustainability.A new study published in Carbon Research reveals the complex relationship between Turkey's economic development and its carbon footprint.

SMILE research team publishes findings on inclusive lifelong learning in the International Journal of Educational Development
ECNU Review of EducationIn the context of the United Nations' 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and growing global attention to educational equity, translating UNESCO's normative frameworks for lifelong learning into institutional practices that genuinely benefit marginalized adult learners has emerged as one of the most pressing challenges in international education research. Despite widespread policy commitments, marginalized adult populations continue to face formidable barriers in practice. The persistent gap between normative aspiration and institutional reality urgently demands systematic empirical investigation.

SMILE research team publishes climate change education research findings in Climate Risk Management
ECNU Review of EducationAgainst the backdrop of accelerating climate change and growing concern for educational equity, the systematic examination of rural–urban disparities in climate change education and their environmental justice implications remains critically underexplored. Understanding the scale of these gaps, the mechanisms that sustain them, and the policy pathways to address them has become an urgent priority for both climate action and educational reform.

Growing green: how China's agricultural sector can reduce carbon emissions
Biochar Editorial Office, Shenyang Agricultural UniversityAs China pursues its ambitious goal of carbon neutrality by 2060, a new study reveals an unexpected ally: the agricultural sector. While agriculture is a known source of greenhouse gases, this research indicates that increasing the economic output of farming, forestry, and fishing can significantly decrease national carbon dioxide CO₂ emissions. The investigation, which analyzed 32 years of data, offers a fresh perspective on balancing economic development with environmental protection.
