Abstract The adequate nutrition for residents in social welfare homes is one of the basic tasks in terms of living needs. Numerous studies indicate that the amount allocated to nutrition service among institutionalized elderly is insufficient. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between the amount of the daily rate and the quality of nutrition in social welfare homes. The research material consisted of 3000 menus from 30 social welfare homes located in Upper Silesia (Poland). The menus were evaluated using the Diet Quality Index (Kurskal-Wallis test; p = 0.05). In the quantitative assessment we took into consideration: the number of meals, the frequency of consumption of various product groups and the content of selected micro- and macro-nutrients. The research confirmed significant differences in daily rates among institutions; 14% of facilities have a daily rate of EUR 3.00 - 4.00 per person, 21% - EUR 2.00 - 2.99, 48% - EUR 1.00 - 1.99, 17% less than EUR 1.00. The establishments with a higher daily rate (EUR 3.00 - 4,00 - 35%) provide the residents with 5 meals. A similar situation applies to plant products - only 23% of institutions with the rate lower than EUR 2.00 provide fresh vegetables and fruits to residents, and in the case of the rates above EUR 2.00 it is 67%. Quantitative assessment of menus indicated that mean dietary intakes did not meet recommendations for calcium, vitamin D, fat and protein requirements. Fat intake was 1.5 times higher than recommended. This study showed significant relationship between the amount of the daily rate in social welfare homes facilities and the number of meals and the nutritional quality of foods. Key messages The adequate nutrition for residents in social welfare homes is one of the basic tasks in terms of living needs. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between the amount of the daily rate and the quality of nutrition in social welfare homes.

<p>The relationship between the quality of life and social welfare is of shared taxonomy, therefore it is difficult to define unambiguously. It is hard to imagine social welfare without the quality of life, but in order to put the quality of life into practice, we need the context of social welfare. For children’s social welfare, family and the way it creates quality of life is central. However, we lack instruments to evaluate children’s quality of life with family-focused approach. For  that purpose, we introduce KIDSCREEN52 survey with 1763 children (aged 8-18 years old) and 1564 parents. Moreover, we raise the<br />question of ecological validity, firstly, because there is a need to develop measurements that are closer to real life situations, in order to productively contribute to the ensuring of children’s social welfare.</p>

Vegetables and fruits can be contaminated with microorganisms from different sources during production and processing. Quality of vegetables usually relies on the quality of processing water and sanitizers used to reduce microbial load and increase shelf-life of vegetables. The present study demonstrates the role of washing on reducing bacterial loads in common vegetables sold in Dhaka city. A total of seventy two samples comprising of eighteen types of fresh vegetables were collected. Total heterotrophic bacteria, coliforms and Enterobacteriaceae were determined in 72 samples including potato, tomato, carrot, cucumber, green chilli, bean, eggplant, cauliflower, turnip, radish, capsicum, pumpkin, cabbage, gourd, papaya, bitter gourd, snake gourd and ridge gourd before and after washing with tap and filtered water, halotab water, bleaching powder (0.2%) solution and bleaching powder (0.2%) with citric acid (0.1%) for 10 minutes. Tap water, filtered water, bleaching powder (0.2%), halotab solution and bleaching powder (0.2%) + citric acid (0.1%) solutions were found to be effective and significantly reduced the bacterial loads in vegetables compared to the unwashed vegetables (P<0.01). Effect of washing vegetables using tap and filtered water were found to reduce load of total viable bacteria to 0.85-2.05 log10cfu/g and 2.38-3.36 log10cfu/g, respectively compared to those of unwashed samples. The efficiency of washing for reducing the bacterial load depends on the quality of washing water used and the types of disinfectant solutions used. An appropriate washing technique can significantly reduce the bio burden in contaminated vegetables and may reduce the risk of foodborne infections associated with the consumption of vegetables.

The purpose of the study: to analyze the nutritional characteristics of people aged 40 years and older who are engaged in sports (athletics, participation in competitions at distances of 10 km or more). Materials and methods. Nutrition characteristics were studied based on information obtained from a survey of amateur athletes aged 40 years and older competing in track and field events at distances of 10 kilometers or more. In total, 1800 questionnaires were distributed, 1649 completed questionnaires were collected. The following food characteristics were taken into account: the presence or absence of adherence to any diet, the frequency of meals, the regularity of meals, the nature of the food, the significance of the quality of the food consumed, as well as the presence of the fact of eating flour, sweet. The analysis was carried out in three age groups: 40–49 years, 50–59 years and 60 years and older. Results. According to this study, the desire to eat exclusively healthy food with lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, the commitment to diet, the desire to control the quality of food in the group of veteran athletes does not increase, but decreases. People who are engaged in sports, aged 40 years and older, try to eat often and at the same time. In men, with increasing age, the number of people who want to take the largest amount of food for breakfast decreases, while in women, the opposite trend is observed. The commitment to snacks is more characteristic of women than men. The majority of respondents involved in sports, aged 40 years and older, do not deny themselves frequent use of sweet and flour products and with age this desire increases.

The Relationship

Abstract. Recently, Garfinkel and Critchley (2013) proposed to distinguish between three facets of interoception: interoceptive sensibility, interoceptive accuracy, and interoceptive awareness. This pilot study investigated how these facets interrelate to each other and whether interoceptive awareness is related to the metacognitive awareness of memory performance. A sample of 24 healthy students completed a heartbeat perception task (HPT) and a memory task. Judgments of confidence were requested for each task. Participants filled in questionnaires assessing interoceptive sensibility, depression, anxiety, and socio-demographic characteristics. The three facets of interoception were found to be uncorrelated and interoceptive awareness was not related to metacognitive awareness of memory performance. Whereas memory performance was significantly related to metamemory awareness, interoceptive accuracy (HPT) and interoceptive awareness were not correlated. Results suggest that future research on interoception should assess all facets of interoception in order to capture the multifaceted quality of the construct.
