Carbon Footprint Assessment on the Viability of Utilizing Brewer’s Spent Grain to Produce Biochar by Emily Newman, Nitin Nitin, Edward Spang, Glen Fox

“…The study employed a carbon footprint assessment approach to quantify the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with each disposal method, using one unprocessed kg of BSG as the functional unit. The results indicated that landfilling BSG generated approximately 3 kg CO₂ equivalent (CO₂e) per kg of unprocessed BSG, whereas biochar production reduced emissions to 1.18 kg CO₂e per kg of BSG. …”

Diversity and Plant Growth-Promoting Properties of <i>Rhodiola rosea</i> Root Endophytic Bacteria by Inga Tamošiūnė, Muhammad Fahad Hakim, Odeta Buzaitė, Vidmantas Stanys, Jurgita Vinskienė, Elena Andriūnaitė, Danas Baniulis

“…Among these, three families were found exclusively in the core microbiome of 1-year-old plants, while nine families were unique to the core microbiome of mature plants grown in the field for more than 4 years. Seventy-three endophytic bacteria isolates were obtained from the rhizome of <i>R. rosea</i> plants and were assigned into 14 distinct bacterial genera of Firmicutes (26%) or Proteobacteria (74%) phyla. …”

Just the Kitchen. On Food Preparation in the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Period by Anna Marciniak-Kajzer

“…These are usually separate buildings, functioning as back-of-house facilities. The former were located separately, most probably because of the fire hazard, and the latter perhaps because of the odours that were generated by the brewing process and the maturation or drying of the cheeses. …”

Praticare l’intersezionalità nei centri antiviolenza: l’accoglienza delle donne migranti, richiedenti asilo e rifugiate by Chiara Carbone

“…Structural violence is identified through the recognition of language and cultural barriers (Crenshaw 1991), institutional-bureaucratic barriers and legal barriers, obstacles that contribute to making women in different ways and to different degrees more vulnerable and subject to forms of violence on the basis of specific dynamics, which are generated by the intersection of some axes, for example gender, ethnicity and social class membership.  …”
