The maritime industry faces increasing demands for continuous professional development due to rapid technological advancements, evolving safety regulations, and the need for a proactive safety culture (Caesar, 2023; Parviainen et al., 2018). Yet, seafarers often encounter barriers such as long working …

Dual modification of potato starch in one step by combining annealing with ion exchange was identified as a potent strategy to influence functional starch properties. This dual modification was upscaled for food application studies and performed for both native and waxy potato starch at optimized conditions …

The increasing penetration of renewable energy (RE) and hydrogen technologies is reshaping the operational requirements of modern decarbonised energy systems, necessitating advanced control strategies to coordinate renewable generation, hydrogen storage, and heterogeneous end‐use demands. This paper …

Lignocellulose represents an abundant repository of renewable carbon. Derived from various plant sources, it holds tremendous potential as a renewable and sustainable feedstock for the production of valuable chemicals and fuels. However, its solid fermentable compounds, cellulose and hemicellulose, are …

Traditional scientific research has produced valuable knowledge, yet its linear, top-down logic often fails to address the complexity of local communities. This results in a gap between knowledge and action, where interventions lack legitimacy and impact. Participatory Action Research (PAR) has emerged …

IMPORTANCE: Older patients hospitalized for cardiovascular disease (CVD) are at risk of physical function decline and adverse health outcomes. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves physical functioning but is underutilized by older patients. Home-based CR potentially improves utilization, yet its effectiveness …

To broaden the application of biomethanation for energy storage and renewable integration, this study investigates the performance of a trickle-bed reactor (TBR) for hydrogen (H2) utilisation in biogas upgrading, using both pure Carbon dioxide (CO2) and biogas-derived CO2 as substrates for methane (CH4) …

Recent debates in rural development suggest a growing interest in integrating landscape-based knowledge into participatory decision-making. This study contributes to this discussion by examining how landscape—understood as the interplay between human actions, natural processes, and soil systems—can be …

This paper is a call to action from researchers in the Polar Science Early Career community. This call comes from experiences held and events witnessed by early-career researchers where imbalanced power dynamics and extractive research in and with Indigenous communities persist largely unchecked. As …
