Infrared spectroscopy and flow analysis for the determination of chemical constituents in food products

Two analytical methods were proposed for the determination of sodium chloride. A flow injection turbidimetric determination, based on the precipitation of silver chloride, was found to be a simple methodology to be implemented for routine analysis with a high sampling frequency, low reagent consumption and waste production in comparison with the reference methodology. On the other hand, the infrared methodology allowed NaCl determination with no reagent consumption. Both methodologies can be implemented for routine chemical analysis determinations in the food industry

Nostalgic memories and human rights: Integrating subjective experiences with universal needs

In this comment, I focus on the integration of memories and human rights. The claim for the “self-evident” declares the claim for human rights not only of minorities, or oppressed and forgotten groups but, more broadly, of the self and different others. I consider human rights as they emerge from the content of intergenerational nostalgic memories and are reflected on the right to remember, the right to forget, the right to long for the past, and the right to life. I give a brief account of studies on intergenerational nostalgic memories and I argue for remembering processes as a fundamental human right. Finally, I discuss theoretical implications of integrating memory studies and human rights debates
