  2. 1. Understanding "successful aging" : Cultural and migratory perspectives

    Author : Sandra Torres; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Sociology; sociology. social gerontology; successful aging; value orientations; culture; cross-cultural gerontology; ethnogerontology; migration; Iranian immigrants; culturally-appropriate care; gerontological theory; vignettes; gerontological methods; Sociologi; Sociology; Sociologi; Sociology; sociologi;

    Abstract : This dissertation aims to contribute to the rectification of the atheoretization that characterizes the study of aging and diversity through the formulation and preliminary empirical testing of a culturally-relevant theoretical framework for the study of successful aging. Inspired by the Kluckhohnian approach to the study of cultural variation, the framework hereby proposed posits that there is congruence between the understandings of successful aging that people uphold and the value orientations that they prefer in regards to four topics: man-nature, time, activity and relational.

  4. 2. Aging and heat-sealing properties of films based on wheat gluten

    Author : Sung-Woo Cho; Mikael Hedenqvist; Minna Hakkarainen; Mikael Lindström; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wheat gluten; aging; migration; opacity; heat sealability; shear strength; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Abstract : Recently the research interest of the possibility of using wheat gluten (WG) as packaging material has greatly increased due to its combination of high gas barrier, attractive mechanical, film-forming and renewable properties. The source is also readily available and inexpensive on a worldwide basis. READ MORE

  5. 3. Strategies to improve the aging, barrier and mechanical properties of chitosan, whey and wheat gluten protein films

    Author : Idoia Olabarrieta; Mikael Hedenqvist; Jose Maria Lagaron; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemistry; biodegradable polymers; chitosan; whey protein; wheat gluten; poly ε-caprolactone ; montmorillonite; food packaging; permeability; mechanical properties; aging; pH; solubility; migration; solution casting.; Kemi; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : Chitosan, Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) and vital wheat gluten (WG) are three biomaterials that have quite promising properties for packaging purposes. They have good film forming properties and good gas barrier properties in dry conditions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Surviving trauma in exile and the integration-conundrum : navigating therapy and the imperatives of a host(ile?) society

    Author : Mayssa Rekhis; Richard Rechtman; Rebecca Popenoe; Miriam Ticktin; Lotte Segal; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Trauma; Psychotherapy; Refugees; Migration; Ethnography; Integration; Exile; Survival;

    Abstract : “Undesirables” of the contemporary world (Agier, 2008), refugees are often considered “Others” whose lives can be wasted, at deadly borders, in detention centers, or at the margins of societies. Proving their suffering is a condition for accessing the right to asylum, but the current migration policies in the host countries expect them to quickly overcome it, and integrate, as a way to pay back for the protection they received.

  7. 5. Plasticized Poly (lactic acid) Films - Preparation and Properties

    Author : Nadia Ljungberg; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phase separation; aging; thermal properties; dynamic mechanical properties; processing; film preparation; oligomer synthesis; poly lactic acid ; plasticizers; migration; cold crystallization; Polymer technology; biopolymers; Polymerteknik;

    Abstract : The development of biodegradable polymers from renewable resources is of importance in order to prevent the depletion of fossil fuels and the increasing emissions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere caused by the commodity plastics of today. However, to be able to replace these non-environmentally friendly materials, production costs of biodegradable polymers have to be decreased and their physical properties need to be enhanced.
