This paper studies the relationships between adherence to the Mediterranean diet, food-related information, and possible effects they could jointly exert on weight status. The empirical analysis was conducted via a consumer survey using face-to-face interviews, and a structural equation model was implemented to the data analysis. This model choice was led by its ability to simultaneously evaluate multiple constructs. The results outline the central role played by adherence to the Mediterranean diet and food-related information, both in terms of nutritional knowledge and expert recommendations, which seem to be the key drivers affecting healthy weight. Moreover, food label use increases the nutritional knowledge of consumers, which in turn favours a healthy diet.

This study examined the effects of three seating positions, face-to-face, side-by-side, at right-angles, on participants' heart rates, anxiety, and estimated duration of interview. The subjects were 84 students in a women's junior college who were divided into two groups, classmates and nonclassmates. The experiment used the three seating positions in each of the two groups during the interviews. Heart rates, anxiety scores, and estimated duration of interview were measured. There was a significant effect in different seating positions on the heart rates among the participants. The results suggest that the face-to-face seating produces increased arousal compared to the side-by-side and right-angled seating positions. However, this arousal seems to be more important among classmates than nonclassmates. The results and implications are discussed.

A 14-Item Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS) questionnaire was developed and validated in face-to-face interviews, but not via telephone. The aims of this study were to evaluate the validity and reliability of a telephone-administered version of the MEDAS as well as to validate the Portuguese version of the MEDAS questionnaire. A convenience community-based sample of adults (n = 224) participated in a three-stage survey. First, trained researchers administered MEDAS via a telephone. Second, the Portuguese version of Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), and MEDAS were administered in a semi-structured face-to-face interview. Finally, MEDAS was again administered via telephone. The telephone-administered MEDAS questionnaire was compared with the face-to-face-version using several metrics. The telephone-administered MEDAS was significantly correlated with the face-to-face-administered MEDAS [r = 0.805, p < 0.001; interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) = 0.803, p < 0.001] and showed strong agreement (k = 0.60). The MEDAS scores that were obtained in the first and second telephone interviews were significantly correlated (r = 0.661, p < 0.001; ICC = 0.639, p < 0.001). The overall agreement between the Portuguese version of MEDAS and the FFQ-derived Mediterranean diet adherence score had a Cohen’s k = 0.39. The telephone-administered version of MEDAS is a valid tool for assessing the adherence to the Mediterranean diet and acquiring data for large population-based studies.

Chapter 15 describes and illustrates using storyboards the basics of blocking and shooting two-character dialogue. Whether characters are standing, seated, or walking, conversations cut better when shots are designed to mirror each other and to maintain consistent screen geography. The geometry that arises from the positions, heights, and movement of characters is the basis of determining camera placement for proper matching and continuity editing. Several common configurations of characters are explored, including face to face, side by side, and walking. Standard templates of shots to cover conversations are presented. Several commonly used blocking techniques for getting two characters into and out of position for their dialogue are described and illustrated.

Nineteenth-century evolutionary historical schemas formulated in Gemeinschaft-Gesellschaft, or status to contract terms, which underpin theories of modernization and development in the contemporary social sciences, are now called into serious question. Recent archaeological discoveries show ancient society to have been preeminently contractual; and anthropological studies of family, clan, and tribe reveal them to be more than primordial relics in modernizing systems. A careful reading of the ancient writers—particularly Aristotle, who was read as lending support to the Gemeinschaft-Gesellschaft distinction—yields a very different picture, as Marx in fact appreciated. Family, clan, tribe, patron-client, friendship, and other affinal sets were constitutive of the ancient society of the polis, and have shown extraordinary durability in the modern political society of the Mediterranean basin. In the small-scale, urban, entrepreneurial, and commercial society of the Mediterranean polis, ancient and modern, which was characterized by a high degree of face-to-face interaction, people learned participation in the plethora of little-incorporated societies—familial, religious, cultic, and recreational.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public Institution(s). Main funding source(s): Department of Health Introduction Healthy diet and body composition are core components of cardiac rehabilitation. Following the COVID outbreak in March 2020, our face-to-face cardiac rehabilitation programme (Our Hearts Our Minds) was suspended. The programme was then quickly moved to a virtual platform to continue to deliver the programme. Purpose Here we describe how the OHOM programme adapted our service to deliver the dietetic assessment and intervention on a virtual platform. Methods Pre-Covid the dietary component of OHOM consisted of a face-to-face Initial Assessment (IA) with a dietitian, group education sessions and an End of Programme assessment (EOP). Anthropometric measures and dietary habits were assessed including adherence to the Mediterranean diet via the Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS) toolkit. Using behaviour change techniques, tailored dietary advice was provided and goals agreed to educate on healthier food choices, increase adherence to Mediterranean diet and (if appropriate) promote weight loss and reduce central obesity. The assessment and intervention is now delivered virtually via telephone or video. Anthropometrics are self-reported with tape-measures supplied to assess waist circumference and advice provided on home-weighing. MDS is still assessed. The programme includes fortnightly coaching telephone consultations to review and reset goals, the option to attend a dietitian-led virtual group education session, access to a filmed educational video and submission of food diaries via the Fitbit app. Results From April to November 2020, 114 patients completed the virtual programme (65 telephone, 39 video). Dietetic outcomes are outlined in Table 1 with inclusion of data for a similar period one year previously (face-to-face) for comparison. Reductions in anthropometric measures and increased adherence to a cardio-protective diet were noted and the results for the two time periods are remarkably similar. Conclusion Delivery of a virtual dietetic component in cardiac rehabilitation is feasible, acceptable and just as effective as face-to-face based on preliminary data.

Children with Rett Syndrome (RS) are reported to use multiple modalities to communicate although their intentionality is often questioned (Bartolotta, Zipp, Simpkins, & Glazewski, 2011; Hetzroni & Rubin, 2006; Sigafoos et al., 2000; Sigafoos, Woodyatt, Tuckeer, Roberts-Pennell, & Pittendreigh, 2000). This paper will present results of a study analyzing the unconventional vocalizations of a child with RS. The primary research question addresses the ability of familiar and unfamiliar listeners to interpret unconventional vocalizations as “yes” or “no” responses. This paper will also address the acoustic analysis and perceptual judgments of these vocalizations. Pre-recorded isolated vocalizations of “yes” and “no” were presented to 5 listeners (mother, father, 1 unfamiliar, and 2 familiar clinicians) and the listeners were asked to rate the vocalizations as either “yes” or “no.” The ratings were compared to the original identification made by the child's mother during the face-to-face interaction from which the samples were drawn. Findings of this study suggest, in this case, the child's vocalizations were intentional and could be interpreted by familiar and unfamiliar listeners as either “yes” or “no” without contextual or visual cues. The results suggest that communication partners should be trained to attend to eye-gaze and vocalizations to ensure the child's intended choice is accurately understood.
