… advertise the sustainable character of healthy products next to, or instead of, the nutritional value of the food (e.g. ‘no pesticides’). In a similar vein, sustainable lifestyles—such as plant-based diets—often emphasize the health benefits that come with it. Marketing healthy products as sustainable, and vice versa, has blurred the line between eating healthy and eating sustainably. Intuitively, it would be easy to assume that this is a good thing, and that highlighting the sustainable aspect of … needs to done and that research is needed to further explore which factors foster healthy and/or sustainable eating (e.g. Goukens & Klesse 2022). This research specifically aims to shift consumers towards a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle without compromising on consumer wellbeing. In the past, media and research often focused on the restrictive side of eating healthy and sustainably. However, research that is more recent suggests that these restrictions may be counterproductive and … and sustainability. Preliminary data on this topic are present. Resources and infrastructure to execute experimental and field studies are available. Techniques used for this research are experiments, surveys, and field experiments.

… of permanent growth arrest, is an important driver of aging in tissues. Interventions against aging, e.g. by targeting this senescent state, could extend the healthy lifespan and contribute to regenerative medicine. Cellular senescence has significant ties to metabolism, suggesting potential intervention strategies; however, these ties need to be characterized further. Hypothesis and Objectives: This project will study the metabolic changes accompanying cellular aging and in particular senescence with the goal of identifying possible new signatures and biomarkers, as well as possible metabolic targets for more selective and specific drugs against senescent cells. Setting and Methods: Metabolic networks of young, aged and senescent human cells … Top 5 selected publications: 1. M. Breuer, T. M. Earnest, C. Merryman, K. S. Wise, L. Sun, M. R. Lynott, C. A.

… in China, nor how individuals in urban versus rural areas differ. In China 23.5 million single men (often of lower socio- economic status) seek to marry by 2020. Never-married men have lower overall well-being, and are a vulnerable group in societies with a marriage norm. At the same time, many countries have experienced a transition from malnutrition to an increase in overweight and obesity: In China, a 10.3 fold increase in obesity was observed in (rural) men aged 35–44 between 1991-2011 (Ning et … At the end of this project, we have a comprehensive overview of the influence of cultural differences and sex ratios on single, ‘surplus’ men, as well as their risk for obesity, self-perceptions, and physical and psychological well-being.

… Biobased materials; Maastricht University, The Netherlands). E-mail: sanjay.rastogi@maastrichtuniversity.nl Keywords: High Impact, High Strength, High Modulus, Thermoplastic, Biomedical. Introduction: Polyester materials such as polycaprolactone (PCL) can be biocompatible and biodegradable polymers useful for a wide range of applications, including biomedical and textile applications. These polymers because of their biocompatibility and biodegradability are often used for medical applications such … the required mechanical performance required for several demanding applications (tensile modulus ≥ 15 GPa, tensile strength ≥ 2 GPa). Hypothesis and Objectives: In this proposal we aim to improve the mechanical properties of commercial grades of PCLs with strong reinforcing fillers including Ultra-High Molecular Weight PolyEthylene (UHMWPE) and other biodegradable components. In particular, UHMWPE is known to have superior mechanical properties such as high resistance to fatigue and adhesive wear … in entanglement density. The novel synthesis route allows lowering of the melt viscosity of these ultra-high molar masses making UHMWPEs suitable for blending. The blending of PCL and UHMWPE will provide a melt processable bio-compatible polymer with enhanced mechanical properties making them suitable to meet high demanding applications in medical implants. To achieve the set goal we aim to blend different grades of PCLs with UHMWPEs having a reduced density of entanglements. Different PCL …

… topics, ranging from investment protection and dispute settlement, to sustainable development, and the international rule of law. The Symposium sought to foster a policy dialogue between the academic and policy community in the EU and Thailand with a view to promoting multilateralism in international investment and trade. The first day of the Symposium investigated the past experiences of Investor–State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) and the possibility of a global reform of this system. In recent years, the legitimacy of ISDS has come under fire due to high profile cases of investors’ challenges against States’ regulatory actions. Within EU Member States, citizens and NGOs have led calls for greater transparency and public engagement on ISDS, which led to an investment protection standards and dispute settlement reform within the EU. The new mechanism for resolving investment disputes is known as the Investment Court System (ICS) and it has been included in the EU’s free trade and investment protection agreements with Canada, Singapore, Vietnam, and Mexico. The EU has also been improving substantive standards in its investment agreements in order to safeguard the right of States to regulate. The EU vision of the new model of investment dispute settlement in the form …
