Measuring Corporate Alignment With the Circular Economy: a Text‐Based Circularity Index From Mandatory Non‐Financial Disclosures

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition to a circular economy (CE) has become a strategic priority for firms, yet empirical assessments of corporate circularity remain fragmented and heavily dependent on structured indicators or self‐reported metrics. This paper proposes a novel, text‐based circularity index derived from mandatory non‐financial statements of large ...

Protective Effect of Phytic Acid in Cardiovascular Diseases: A Systematic Review

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a cluster of ailments that impact the heart and blood vessels and are a primary public health problem of mortality on a global scale. Phytic acid, a dietary constituent frequently present in foods like seeds, has been linked to many pharmacological attributes, including anti‐cancer, antioxidant, anti ...

Nutritional screening within the GLIM procedure—Part 2: Operationalization of the concept risk of malnutrition using a modified Delphi procedure

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Aims Within the original GLIM procedure (2019), the step on nutritional screening was not further elaborated. A new GLIM Risk of Malnutrition Working Group has recently developed a consensus‐based conceptual definition of “risk of malnutrition.” The present study aimed to operationalize this definition.

Size segregation of irregular granular materials captured by time-resolved 3D imaging

Scientific Reports, 2021
When opening a box of mixed nuts, a common experience is to find the largest nuts at the top. This well-known effect is the result of size-segregation where differently sized ‘particles’ sort themselves into distinct layers when shaken, vibrated or ...

Sewage Sludge and Cashew Bagasse Biochars Promote Changes in Selected Physical Attributes Related to the Structure of Degraded Dryland Soil

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
This study evaluated biochars from co‐pyrolysis of sewage sludge and cashew residues on physical quality of a degraded loamy sand soil. SPB applied at 20 Mg ha−1 reduced bulk density by 7.74%, whereas most porosity attributes were driven by soil reconsolidation rather than biochar. Aggregate stability varied with biochar type, with SPB promoting larger

Microencapsulation of bioactive compounds from peanut residues: stability study and application in yogurt

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Peanut skin, a byproduct of peanut processing, is a rich source of phenolic compounds (520.65 mgGAE (100 g)−1 d.b.) with strong antioxidant capacity, but which remains underutilized. The direct incorporation of phenolic extracts into dairy products is challenging, due to their instability during processing and storage and possible ...
