Although the importance of end-users' preferences is not totally new to the energy sector, this issue needs to be urgently and consistently addressed if new policies, projects, and technologies are to be introduced successfully. The eight papers included in this SI are focused on various issues such as modeling the future energy demand, household energy consumption behavior, public perceptions of new energy technologies and projects, and ICT-energy efficiency interrelationship. Some papers also analyze end-users' experiences with recently introduced energy technologies. Based on these eight articles with various topics, this SI will provide fruitful insights in assessing and forecasting the evolution of the future energy sector. I hope this SI can contribute to the increase in communication and cooperation among academic researchers as well as practitioners in energy fields.Research & information: generalbicsscchoice experimentclusteringCO2 emissionsconceptual frameworkcost-benefit analysisdata centerenergy consumptionenergy demandenergy efficiencyenergy securityenergy strategyenergy technologyHondurashouseholdsimproved cook stovesIndonesiainterventionLCOEmachine learningmultinomial logit modelsoccupant behaviourpersuasionpro-environmental behaviorpro-environmental behaviour changepublic opinionrenewable energysocio-economic profilesolar PVSouth Koreastochasticsurveythermal characteristics analysisunsupervised learningwillingness to acceptworkplaceResearch & information: generalHuh Sung-Yoonedt1324834Huh Sung-YoonothBOOK9910557148203321End-Users' Perspectives on Energy Policy and Technology3036375UNINA05374nam 2201501z- 450 991055740800332120220111(CKB)5400000000043596(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/76343(oapen)doab76343(EXLCZ)99540000000004359620202201d2021 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierNutraceuticals and Human HealthBasel, SwitzerlandMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20211 online resource (340 p.)3-0365-0444-3 3-0365-0445-1 In this Special Issue, we have published papers on the health-promoting effects of nutraceuticals from different sources, and their effects in different pathologies. Extracts from plants have been analyzed, for example, extracts from olive leaves, Mikania micrantha, the devil's claw, raspberries and others, alongside marine phytoplankton, egg-yolk and marketed dietary supplements. The effects of these extracts and dietary supplements have been studied in diseases associated with obesity, and in diseases where inflammation pathways are involved. The effectiveness of resveratrol and curcumin to support the anticancer activity of cisplatin has also been reported, as well as the ability of devil's claw root extract to stimulate the CB2 receptors in synoviocytes in osteoarthritis patients. The anti-oxidant effect of marine phytoplankton has been studied on muscle damage, both in humans and in an animal model, and the effects of the metabolite of antocianin were analyzed in a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Finally, reviews on the use of lactoferrin, ω3 and ω6 and abscisic acid have been reported, in addition to the crosstalk between prostate cancer and microbiota inflammation. Although it is not yet possible to draw definitive conclusions on the use of nutraceuticals, several mechanisms of action for many of them have been further clarified.HumanitiesbicsscSocial interactionbicsscabscisic acidadipocyte browningadipogenesisadvanced glycation end-productsallithiamineAMP-activated protein kinaseamyotrophic lateral sclerosisanti-hypercholesterolemiaanti-inflammatoryantioxidantantioxidantsapoptosisbeta-glucansbody weight changesbovine milkc-Foscannabinoid receptorscell cyclechitosancisplatinCRCcurcumincytokinecytokineselevated plus mazeendocannabinoidsepigallocatechineugenolFAAHfast foodfatty acidsfecundationfertilityfollow up studyfood supplementframbinonegarlicgreen teagrowth factorsGymnema inodorumgymnemic acidhead and neck cancerhigh-fat diethuman healthhyperglycaemiainflammationingredientsinsulin resistancelactoferrinlipase inhibitionlipid profilelipidomicsmacrophagesmale reproductionmeal frequencymetabolic syndromemetabolomicsmicrobiotaMikania micranthamuscle damagemuscle recoverymuscle sorenessneurodegenerationneuroprotectivenutraceuticalnutraceutical compoundsnutraceuticalsobesityolive leafopen-field testosteoarthritisoverweightphenolic acidphenolic compoundsphospholipasesphytoplanktonpolyphenolsPPARγpre-pulse inhibitionprediabetesprostate cancerresveratrolsemen parameterssensory motor gatingsteatosissupplementstype 2 diabetes mellitusViburnum opulusvolatile compoundsweight gainweight lossweight loss programsβ-caryophylleneω-3PUFAsω-6PUFAsHumanitiesSocial interactionScotto D'Abusco Annaedt1319354Scotto D'Abusco AnnaothBOOK9910557408003321Nutraceuticals and Human Health3033815UNINA
