  2. 1. Transformations towards Sustainable Food Systems : Pathways, Governance, and Actors in a Swedish and European Union Context

    Author : Karin Eliasson; Tina-Simone Neset; Victoria Wibeck; Suvi Huttunen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; The European Green Deal; Food policy; Focus groups; Food systems; Biodiversity; Accountability; Agency; Phosphorus; Soybean; Footprinting; Den europeiska gröna given; Livsmedelspolitik; Fokusgrupper; Livsmedelssystem; Biodiversitet; Ansvarsskyldighet; Handlingsutrymme; Fosfor; Sojabönor; Fotavtryck;

    Abstract : Food systems are central to global sustainability, while being complex systems where places and people are intertwined over large distances and at different scales. Transformations towards sustainable food systems have been called for in both research and policy, and Sweden and the European Union have declared high ambitions to act as global leaders in these transformations.

  4. 2. Green Deserts or New Opportunities? : Competing and complementary views on the soybean expansion in Uruguay, 2002-2013

    Author : Matilda Baraibar; Ulf Jonsson; Ronny Pettersson; Cristóbal Kay; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Uruguay; Soybean expansion; Discourse analysis; Agrarian change; Development perspectives; Agrifood globalization; agro-ecology; public regulation; pro-market; ekonomisk historia; Economic History;

    Abstract : In just over a decade, soybean production in Uruguay emerged from almost non-existence to second most important export product. The extraordinary rapid soybean expansion is often referred to as representing changes that go far beyond the mere substitution of one agrarian activity for another, but evolved into a broad societal concern.

  6. 4. Enhancing UV-protection of clear coated wood by utilizing reactive UV-absorber and epoxyfunctionalized soybean oil

    Author : Sara Olsson; Mats KG Johansson; Emma Östmark; Mats Westin; Philip Evans; Minna Hakkarainen; Peter Weissenborn; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; UV-protaction; wood; clear coating; UV absorber; epoxy functionalized soybean oil; grafting;

    Abstract : This work presents the development of a new pretreatment for clear coated wood, that aims to increase the photoprotection of exterior wood products, and at the same time make the system more environmentally friendly. The pretreatment comprises the reactive UV absorber 2-hydroxy-4(2,3-epoxy­propoxy)-benzophenone (HEPBP), which has a primary epoxy group that can be covalently attached to the hydroxyl groups of the wood substrate.

  7. 5. Lecithin-Based Microemulsions for Pharmaceutical use - Phase behavior and Solution Structure

    Author : Christian von Corswant; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Food and drink technology; felodipine; solubilization; drug delivery; self-diffusion NMR; alkylmaltoside; microstructure; isopropyl myristate; triglyceride; soybean phosphatidylcholine; Microemulsion; lecithin; Livsmedelsteknik;

    Abstract : Microemulsions are thermodynamically stable, transparent solutions of water, oil and amphiphile(s). It is possible to incorporate large amounts of oil in microemulsions, which makes them interesting for use as a drug delivery vehicle for water insoluble drugs. A prerequisite for pharmaceutical use, however, is a low toxicity of the composition. READ MORE
