    Author : Carl Pontén; [2024]
    Keywords : Rheology; Texture analysis; Viscometry; Semisolids; Design of Experiments; Critical Process Parameters; Critical Quality Atttibutes; Pharmaceutical Technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Oil in water (o/w) emulsions are thermodynamically unstable systems composed of small oil droplets dispersed in a continuous aqueous phase. This means that given enough time, the two phases will separate. Pharmaceutical emulsions are used as a method of administering the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) for topical applications.

    Abstract : This study has evaluated how Tanzania Food and Nutrition Centre (TFNC), a government institution overseeing nutrition, uses social media to enhance the nutrition literacy of caregivers and parents of children under the age of five years. The study contributes to knowledge on how Tanzania’s resource-constrained health sector’s nutrition communication can benefit from social media by answering the following research questions: Which social media platforms and features does TFNC use to share nutrition knowledge pertaining to children under the age of five years? What kinds of nutrition knowledge pertaining to children under the age of five years does TFNC share on social media? How is nutrition knowledge pertaining to children under the age of five years posted on TFNC social media pages packaged? And, how frequently is nutrition knowledge pertaining to children under the age of five years repeated on TFNC social media pages? These questions have been answered from a social-behavioral change communication perspective that has combined the Media Ecology Theory and the Theory of Planned Behavior. READ MORE
