This book constructs a deepening, interdisciplinary understanding of adult learning and imaginatively reframes its transformative aspects. The authors explore the tension at the heart of current understanding of ‘transformative’ adult learning: that while it can be framed as both easy and imperative, personal transformation is in fact rooted in the context in which we live, our stories and relationships.
At its core, transformation is never easy – nor always desirable – and the authors thus draw on interdisciplinary and auto/biographical inquiry to explore what it means to change our presuppositions and frames of meaning that guide our thinking. Using their linguistic, gendered, academic and cultural differences, the authors illuminate how the social, contextual, cultural, cognitive and psychological dimensions of transformation intertwine. In doing so, they emphasise the importance of transformation as a contingent struggle for meaning and recognition, social justice, fraternity, and the pursuit of truth. This engaging book will be of interest to students and scholars of transformative learning and education.

Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes: Membrane Processes in the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnological field presents in a comprehensive way the main membrane techniques: basic principles, mode of operations and applications. The book presents well-known techniques like ultrafiltration for purification of antibiotic broths, DNA, microfiltration for cell recycle and harvesting, virus removal and virus purification. It also includes membrane chromatography which is increasingly developed and used for the purification and polishing of different biomolecular species, including purification of monoclonal antibodies and DNA, virus capture and emerging membrane technologies, which are finding their way into the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
Membrane emulsification and liquid membranes are reported for concentration and separation of biochemical compounds like amino acids, organic acids and antibiotics and chiral resolution. Membrane bioreactors and their applications in chemical synthesis and protein hydrolysis are also discussed as well as solvent resistant nanofiltration for the extraction of drugs and natural compounds. The last part of the book reviews drug delivery with membranes systems, including nanocapsules and liposomes, which are surrounded respectively by a polymeric or lipid membrane and are increasingly used for therapeutic treatments with many new forms emerging. Bilayer lipid membranes are also receiving increased attention as model systems of drug permeation through biomembranes.
