Sommario/riassunto

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced during the interaction of metabolism with oxygen. As ROS have the potential to cause oxidative damage by reacting with biomolecules, research on ROS has concentrated on the oxidative damage that results from exposure to environmental stresses and on the role of ROS in defence against pathogens. However, more recently, it has become apparent that ROS also have important roles as signalling molecules. A complex network of enzymatic and small molecule antioxidants controls the concentration of ROS and repairs oxidative damage, and research is revealing t

Sommario/riassunto

This multidisciplinary book highlights the latest advances in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and various



research domains crucial for sustainable development. It features original contributions from distinguished international scholars, who introduce groundbreaking concepts presented at the 5th International Conference on Digital Age & Technological Advances for Sustainable Development, held in Košice, Slovakia on May 27-29, 2024. As a comprehensive resource, the book will benefit all Ph.D. students, researchers, and industry professionals seeking profound insights into Artificial Intelligence, Industry 4.0, Sustainable Development, and the Green Economy, helping them navigate and contribute to the ever-evolving landscape of sustainable technology and development. Further, it builds upon insights and experiences from previous conference editions, making it an indispensable addition to the extant literature in this dynamic field.
