Pine bio‐oil based biorefinery procedure for the production of antioxidants, acids, and sugars

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract In this study, a wood‐based biorefinery with Pinus halepensis biomass was developed to obtain acids, sugars, and antioxidants with high recovery yields. Pine wood residues from sustainable forest management are transformed into bio‐oil (BO) and separated into value‐added chemicals with an integrated and innovative methodology.

Medications, epilepsy and climate change: Added layers of complexity

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Climate change—the global crisis with pervasive health impacts—has adverse consequences for people with epilepsy (PWE) who have low quality of life due to poor seizure control, socioeconomic disadvantages and comorbidities. This review focuses on the potential effects of climate change on the pharmacological characteristics of antiseizure medications ...

Digital Technologies: Description, Classification, and Links to Circular Economy

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Digital technologies (DTs) and circular economy (CE) are currently two topics that are expected to contribute significantly to sustainable development, and digitization is generally considered a key enabler of CE. However, most studies only cover the most known Industry 4.0 technologies, and very limited research detailing how DTs can support ...
