Integrated Agro-waste Valorization and Biorefinery Approach: Prospects and Challenges Rana, Juwel; Ferdoush, Zannatul; Mukta, Nasima Akter; Akter, Fouzia; Sayed, K. M. Mahdiuzzaman; Shiraj-Um-Monira, Syeeda; Rahman, Afzal; Gulzarul Aziz, Mohammad; Roy Tusher, Tanmoy; Sarker, Aniruddha Agricultural commodities including fresh and processed foods are highly perishable in nature and resulting in the generation of significant agro-waste during harvesting, processing, and post-consumption. In recent years, agro-waste has received growing interest from the domestic and global perspectives, due to the growing concerns about food security and environmental impacts, such as greenhouse gas emissions attributed to intensified effects of global warming. Agricultural wastes are considered as hidden treasury for various bioactive compounds (e.g., cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin), and potential sources of high-value products such as biogas, bioethanol, biodiesel, organic acids, enzymes, phenolic, and flavoring compounds. A novel approach for addressing the agro-waste is biorefinery which emerged as a sustainable way of valorization. Bio-refining food waste might help achieve sustainable zero-waste growth. Agro-waste biorefinery techniques urgently need a circular economy and contribute to a low-carbon, cleaner environment that is ecologically beneficial, economically, and technically feasible, and widely accepted. This chapter will comprehensively explain agro-waste with their sources, agricultural waste valorization status, and possible novel and green technology in an integrated biorefinery approach to recovery of the bioactive compounds and their application in the agro-processing sector. In addition, prospective research for managing waste and valorization approaches will be explored, along with their technical bottleneck and limitations. Book Chapter

A Proposed Model for Embracing Digital Horizons: Exploring Patient-Centric Wearable Healthcare Technology Yeo, Sook Fern; Tan, Cheng Ling; Lim, Kah Boon; Khan, Mohammad Tariqul Islam; Chelvarayan, Anushia; Ali, Mohd Helmi; Hendayani, Ratih The aims of this study were to examine the influential factors on the intention to accept healthcare wearables among Malaysians. This study situates itself within the realm of technology acceptance, particularly focusing on healthcare wearables in Malaysia. The purpose of this study is in line with the Strategic Thrust in 11th Malaysia Plan to improve the well-being of all Malaysians regardless of socioeconomic background. Being the first of its kind, this study proposes a conceptual model to investigate the factors that influence patients’ acceptance to use healthcare wearables in a developing country, Malaysia. The findings of this study can be utilised by digital health wearables manufacturers, marketers, and health practitioners in developing better strategies to increase the patients’ acceptance to use this technology.
