Abstract The current trend in biomass conversion technologies is toward more efficient utilization of feedstock multiproduct biorefineries. Many life‐cycle assessment ( LCA ) studies biorefinery systems have been performed but differ how they use the methodology. Based on a review existing standards and guidelines, this paper provides recommendations to handle key methodological issues when performing systems. Six were identified: (i) goal definition, (ii) functional unit, (iii) allocation...

This paper presents a trans-disciplinary assessment of new and innovative biorefinery concepts producing high-value chemical compounds from residues agriculture, food forest industries. There is significant potential biomass in Sweden suitable for the extraction various compounds, including upgrading by biocatalytic processes, addition to current energy generation. Two examples presented are quercetin extracted onion waste pressurised hot water conjunction with enzymatic hydrolysis, betulin...

Children with disabilities have been low on the agenda of child health, including in Sierra Leone, and there are still many gaps our knowledge understanding issue.To estimate prevalence children Leone using functional difficulty as a proxy to understand factors associated among two four years living Leone.We used cross-sectional data from 2017 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey. Disability was defined definition additional thresholds define severe multiple disabilities. Logistic regression...

Background Children with disabilities are at risk of worse health outcomes compared to children without functional difficulties. Sierra Leone has one the world’s highest prevalences difficulties among children, but little is known about co-occurrence major infectious diseases and healthcare-seeking behaviours disabilities. Methods We used household survey cross-sectional data on 2–4 years old logistic regression models estimating ORs between symptoms including diarrhoea, fever acute...

Introduction The role of global health and sustainable development in medical education is often debated. However, research regarding doctors’ views on the application their knowledge clinical setting remains scarce. This study aimed to explore junior perceptions development, they have received these issues relevance this current future work. Methods was a qualitative based individual interviews conducted between May June 2022. 16 doctors, mandatory training after completing school, were...

Background: Childhood cancer survivors treated before 1992, when blood donor screening for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection was introduced, are at risk of transfusion-transmitted HCV infection. A national campaign targeting transfusion recipients launched in Sweden 2007-2010. The aims this study were to, among adult childhood Stockholm County, investigate the prevalence infection, natural course treatment outcome and anti-HCV testing frequency before, during after finally to actively screen...
