Nota di contenuto

Agro-industrial waste as a potential raw material for multiple products and promotion of a circular economy -- The use of bio-oil derived from the pyrolysis of biomass in the formulation of new medications -- Biochar and bonechar produced with agro-industrial waste in water treatment and immobilization of residual herbicides in the soil -- Recent advances of silk fibroin nanoparticles associated with Amazon oils: Potential larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti -- How to value açaí waste and make its production chain more sustainable?- Challenges, opportunities, and future perspectives regarding the valorization of agro-industrial waste.

Sommario/riassunto

This book is written to foster discussions on the valorization of agro-industrial waste as a raw material for bioactive compounds that can assist in disease containment, the protection of soil resources, and consequently, human health. The agro-industry encompasses a broad spectrum of activities focused on transforming raw materials from agriculture, livestock, aquaculture, and forestry. In addition to producing a diverse range of goods, these processes generate



substantial amounts of residual biomass from various cultivation and processing systems. In this context, the intensification of climate change and the overexploitation of natural resources have been major drivers of emerging infectious diseases. A recent and impactful example is SARS-CoV-2, which escalated into a global pandemic with severe mortality rates. Additionally, Latin America has experienced a sharp rise in dengue cases, prompting the Pan American Health Organization to issue an epidemiological alert due to the increasing incidence of arboviruses across the region. Given the need to explore possibilities for valuing and utilizing agro-industrial waste, this book presents the potential of this material in the context of human health. The authors present a comprehensive review of recent research on pyroligneous liquid as a rich source of bioactive compounds, alongside the use of biochar and bone char in water treatment and herbicide immobilization in soil. Additionally, the book provides an in-depth analysis of methodologies for extracting bioactive compounds from “açaí” (Euterpe oleracea and E. precatoria) waste, highlighting its potential for high-value applications. In this way, the book highlights the challenges and opportunities to transform these materials into beneficial resources, both for the environment and for society, contributing to the advancement of public health and environmental conservation in the context of climate change.

Sommario/riassunto

This volume offers a comprehensive, research-based analysis of gang transformation in the context of globalization, technological change, and shifting socio-political environments. Taking the group as the core unit of analysis, it traces the evolution of gangs from loosely affiliated youth collectives engaged in local conflict to complex, network-oriented criminal organizations operating across national and transnational boundaries. It identifies three key facilitators of modern gang networks: group processes, outgroup embeddedness, and interaction space. The volume also examines how fragile states, digital technologies, and global mobility contribute to the expansion of gang influence. Gang networks are framed as threat multipliers—destabilizing institutions, challenging law enforcement, and undermining state integrity. As the foundational entry in a three-volume series, Volume 1 is a critical resource for criminal justice researchers and law enforcement professionals seeking to understand



the structural dynamics of gang networks and their implications for security and governance.
