Macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata) pulp oil ethylic biodiesel using lipase from Aspergillus oryzae: kinetic and process parameters

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata), a native species from Brazilian biomes, has emerged as a sustainable alternative to vegetable oil production. Its fruit presents high oil yield (3–6 ton/ha), extracted from its kernel and pulp. While the kernel is suitable for food and cosmetics application, the pulp oil has been considered as a promising ...

Publicly funded private schools and academic achievement: A comparative analysis of PISA data in European countries

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper analyses differences in academic achievement associated with attendance at publicly funded private schools and public schools across 11 European countries. Using eight waves of PISA data (2000–2022), we apply OLS, IPW and IPWRA estimators to account for observed heterogeneity and mitigate selection bias.

The doctoral journey as decolonial praxis: Self‐formation of Global South students in UK higher education

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Previous research concerning Global South doctoral students in the United Kingdom has mainly situated their experiences within adaptationist paradigms, emphasising cultural adjustment and assimilation into Western academic norms. Such studies often depict students as passive recipients, overlooking their agency and the transformative potential
