Popular Abstract in English Extraction of valuable substances from plants using a solvent has been practised in many fields. One of the examples is making coffee or tea using hot water. In agricultural and food industry, there are tons of wastes containing valuable compounds that can be extracted before they go to incineration. Extractions are usually performed in organic solvents such as methanolPressurised hot water is an environmentally friendly alternative to hazardous organic solvents such as methanol and heptane. One of the many applications of using pressurised hot water extraction (PHWE) is to extract polyphenols from plants. The challenges in PHWE lies with the optimisation of extraction yield. One factor that is often overlooked is the risk of degradation of thermally labile comp

Motivated by the growing academic interest in innovative solutions for pressing global challenges, this study examines how individuals with high aesthetic sensitivity (AES) affect the intention towards establishing sustainability-focused entrepreneurial ventures.

The human brain has a built-in capacity to perform selective hearing, allowing us to focus on a single speaker in noisy environments while subconsciously filtering out background chatter and other noise. This ability is colloquially known as the cocktail party effect and is often impaired in individuals with reduced hearing or other neurological conditions. This results in an overall reduced quali

Small modular reactors (SMRs) have become part of the solution for futurefossil-free energy systems. Compared to traditional nuclear power plants (NPPs), risks are different and additional actors are involved. The aim of this paper is to analyse key actors’ understanding of emergency preparedness for SMRs in Sweden. Emergency preparedness is an active, continuous and integrated process involving a

How does democracy affect income inequality? Most would expect democracy to reduce income inequality. There is a general consensus that indeed democratizations in Europe during the nineteenth and early twentieth century did decrease income inequality. More recent democratizations, those countries that democratized during the 1970s-1990s, however, do not seem to have had the same effect. The body o

This thesis aims to examine the development of health trends in Sweden, since it is argued that they will prevail and even become more extreme in the near future. Supermarkets will have to understand the impact of those health trends on consumer behaviour and therefore are required to comprehend the sociological, cultural and psychological factors behind these. It is proclaimed that the current he

The work has been debated and criticized by social anthropologists as an expression of society's need to categorize, to medicalise suffering and to globalize western expression of suffering. Every day

In this phase of rapid growth this paper aims to understand how entrepreneurs perceive their role as founder CEO as their company grows, and what impact this has on their “decisio

Chatbots are increasingly being adapted as substitutes to humans in customer service. As the level of adoption increases, it becomes more important to understand the phenomenon of robots replacing humans – a new chapter in the rising digital world. Earlier research has explored and aroused criticism against the trend of automation and digitalization, urging companies to move towards a more custome
