The Impact

Increasing demand for gluten-free foods is driving restaurants to add gluten-free menu items. However, it remains unclear how gluten-free labels affect food consumption and overall evaluations of a dining experience. We conducted two studies to fill this gap. Results from Study 1 suggest that unrestrained eaters (i.e., people with low levels of dietary restraint) expect to decrease their food consumption when a menu item bears a gluten-free cue, whereas restrained eaters (i.e., people with high levels of dietary restraint) do not show such an effect. This negative impact of a gluten-free cue on consumption among unrestrained eaters is mediated by expected taste. Results from Study 2 show that when a gluten-free purchase is incentivized with immediate incentives (i.e., price discounts), an increase in dietary restraint leads to a heightened salience of a health goal. Such an effect is attenuated with delayed incentives (i.e., redeemable points). The health goal salience mediates the impact of dietary restraint on anticipated satisfaction with a gluten-free dining experience incentivized with immediate rewards. This research contributes to the hospitality literature and the broader literature on food consumption. Moreover, our findings suggest that managers need to focus on clearly communicating the appealing taste of gluten-free foods and aim at activating a health goal among unrestrained eaters.

Inhibition Training

Restrained eaters display difficulties engaging in self-control in the presence of food. Undergoing cognitive training to form associations between palatable food and response inhibition was found to improve self-control and influence eating behaviors. The present study assessed the impact of two such response inhibition trainings on food consumption, food-related anxiety, and implicit attitudes toward food among female restrained eaters (Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire-restrained eating subscale ≥ 2.5). In Experiment 1, 64 restrained eaters completed either one of two training procedures in which they were asked to classify food vs. non-food images: a food-response training, in which stop cues were always associated with non-food images, or a balanced food-response/inhibition training, in which participants inhibited motor actions to food and non-food stimuli equally. The results revealed reduced snack consumption following the food-response/inhibition training compared to the food-response training. The food-response training was associated with increased levels of food-related anxiety. In Experiment 2, the same training procedures were administered to 47 restrained eaters, and implicit attitudes toward palatable foods were assessed. The results revealed an increase in positive implicit attitudes toward palatable foods in the food-response/inhibition group but not in the food-response training group. The results suggest that balancing response inhibition and execution across food and non-food stimuli may reduce overeating while retaining positive attitudes toward food among female restrained eaters.

Declining water resources and increasing demand of water for agricultural, industrial, and domestic sector and potential climate change has posed a major challenge to maintain water sustainability of a nation. There is a need to adopt long-term perspective for assessment and policy design for sustainability of primary resources like water. It is also argued that virtual water trade has raised issues of water sustainability as even small but continuous net virtual water trade may influence the water sustainability through irreversible losses. With the constraints for water sustainability, virtual water trade has received much attention in the recent years. While the impact of virtual water trade on water sustainability of virtual water exporter country is less explored and assessed. India is a major water exporting country resulted tremendous pressure on water resources that has serious threat to food security and the negative impact on development of economy and other sectors.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the changes on food consumption patterns of households, due to the ongoing economic crisis in Greece. Design/methodology/approach – A sample survey among a random sample of 932 households living in the region of Thessaly, central Greece, was carried out, with the consuming behaviour to be focused on 20 basic food products. An exploratory factor analysis, followed by a hierarchical classification of the households, was implemented. Findings – Six patterns of food consumption's behaviour have been detected, revealing that most of the households have modified their eating habits, by reducing the quantities consumed and/or looking for less expensive brands. Only 15 per cent of the households do not seem to be affected by the crisis and the austerity policy. The spatial dimension of the research signify that low-income households in urban areas, where the majority of the population lives, are deeply affected by the crisis, with these percentages to be even higher at semi-urban and rural areas. Originality/value – This is the first attempt of assessment of the impact of the economic crisis in Greece on food consumption pattern, verifying its significant negative impact on an inelastic need, such food consumption is.

This paper applied a self-administered survey to investigate the impact of organic food behavior and the intention-behavior gap in organic food consumption (OIBG) on consumers’ subjective wellbeing including physical, emotional, social and intellectual dimensions. The survey was carried out with 385 consumers. Furthermore, the study conducted a food test to explore the different impacts of organic and conventional food samples on the mental and physical conditions of consumers’ wellbeing applying a psychological questionnaire. The food test took place in a sensory lab with a panel of 63 untrained German consumers. The research findings demonstrated a positive impact of the organic food consumption on consumers’ subjective wellbeing, while no negative impact of OIBG has been perceived. Moreover, during the food test, consumers distinguished no differences between the impact of organic and conventional stimuli on their mental and physical status. Understanding how consumers perceive the impact of organic food consumption on their wellbeing is one important aspect. However, in the interest of narrowing the OIBG, it is more important to understand how consumers perceive the impact of this gap on their daily-life wellbeing.

This study investigated dietary restraint as a predictor of subsequent reported weight loss. Neither chronic dieters nor nondieters reported actually losing weight over a 7-mo. period. With respect to recent weight change, restrained eaters reported both more recent weight loss and more recent weight gain than unrestrained eaters. Further, such weight changes had a much larger influence on their affect. It was concluded that chronic dieting is likely to produce temporary swings in both weight and mood but no permanent change. As such, chronic dieters might best be advised to abandon their dieting attempts.

The Impact

The rapid economic and social development in the past decades has greatly increased the societal acceptance of divorce and non-marital pregnancies in China, which leads to a soaring number of single-parent children. This paper aimed to investigate the impact of having one parent absent on children’ food consumption and nutrition status. We extracted 1114 children from a longitudinal household survey data in China, all of which were observed twice. Using the Propensity Score Matching and Difference-in-Difference methods, we found that being raised by one parent does not have a negative effect on children’s food consumption and nutrition intake. On the contrary, single-parent families tend to provide more food to their children as a compensation for the absence of one parent and this compensation effect offsets the negative impact caused by declined family income. Particularly, urban, rich families had stronger compensation effect than other families with low and middle incomes.

The Impact

Climatic shocks often jeopardise the well-being of rural households in many developing countries like Bangladesh. Due to lack of risk-sharing arrangements or formal insurance mechanisms, life and livelihood of households living in geographically challenged areas of Bangladesh are vulnerable to such shocks. These shocks increase households’ vulnerability to poverty and reduce their prospects of coming out of poverty. It is important to have a clear understanding of the impact of such shocks on the level of well-being to design policies to protect them from negative economic impact of such shocks. How such shocks affect the welfare of households relies on their ability to cope with the shocks. Using household-level survey data collected from remote areas of Bangladesh, this study investigates the impact of climatic shocks on household well-being. The study finds that climatic shocks have a negative impact on the level of well-being measured by total consumption as well as non-food consumption expenditures. However, the impact of shocks on food consumption is rather weak. The study also documents some evidence that climatic shocks negatively impact non-food consumption of not only the poorest but also the relatively wealthier households in the rural remote locations of Bangladesh.

Rivers play a significant role in the human activities all over the world. Increasing demand of water for drinking & irrigation and hydroelectricity, numbers of impacts can be seen in the rivers environment. The present paper focuses on the impact of Supana Dam on the channel morphology of Alaknanda River in Srinagar valley Garhwal Himalaya. The field investigation approach has been adopted for the present study. The impact assessment has been carried out into three categories i.e. (i) Impact of dam on channel morphology, (ii) Impact of dam on human environment and (iii) Anthropogenic impact on channel Morphology. The results of the study show that after the construction of dam positive and negative impact have been assessed. Due to the blockage of water and sediment flow the entire riverine environment has been changed. Channel morphological features are well exposed for geomorphological study. Changing pattern of land and water relationship destroyed the previous ecosystem balance. Besides this, dam is supplying cheapest clean, efficient and reliable energy generated by hydroelectric power plant. Other impacts of dam are loss of fauna and flora, quality of drinking water supply and concentration of pollution in downstream. Out of these large numbers of sand and gravel extraction activities has been started on the exposed channel bed. Although some positive and negative impacts are observed by the construction of dams but several measures have been suggested to mitigate the adverse impacts of a hydropower project in the present study area.

This study aims to determine the impact of changes in the pattern ofconsumption of sweet potato and sago local food into rice food consumption. Thesampling method uses simple random sampling as many as 40 household headsfrom402 populations, theanalysis method used in this study is qualitative descriptive. Theresults showedthe impact of changes in the pattern of consumption of local food ofsweet potatoes and sago into rice consumption was a massive shift in publicconsumption resulted in a decrease in the level of preference for local sweet potato andsago food consumption. Most households prefer to consume rice food, because it tastesgood and is easily accessible. This can be seen by the amount of rice consumption asmuch as 1,443.8 kg / year, while the amount of sweet potato consumption is 182.4 kg /year, and sago is 728 kg / year. The negative impact of government policies andprograms on rice food availability has resulted in reduced production of local sweetpotatoes and sago. So the price of sweet potatoes and sago became expensive. Changesin the pattern of consumption of local foods of sweet potatoes and sago into riceresulted in an increase of 18.75% in Diabetes Meliatus in Makimi Makimi Village.Suggestion that can be submitted as input is that necessary to process local food intovalue-added commodities that can attract households to consume local food. Thegovernment is expected to formulate regulations related to the food sovereigntyprogram, especially local sweet potatoes and sago. Government policies for theassistance of raskin should be reduced by quota, and replaced by a food subsidiesprogram based on local food. There needs to be a tithe regarding the diversification ofconsumption of nutritiousbalanced food, especially in utilizing local food potential.

Abstract. For the past 2 decades wind turbines have been growing in number all over the world as a response to the increasing demand for renewable energy. However, the rapid expansion of wind turbines presents a problem for many radar systems, including weather radars. Wind turbines in the line of sight of a weather radar can have a negative impact on the radar's measurements. As weather radars are important instruments for meteorological offices, finding a way for wind turbines and weather radars to co-exist would be of great societal value.Doppler weather radars base their measurements on in-phase and quadrature phase (I/Q) data. In this work a month's worth of recordings of high-resolution I/Q data from an operational Swedish C-band weather radar are presented. The impact of point targets, such as masts and wind turbines, on the I/Q data is analysed and characterised. It is shown that the impact of point targets on single radar pulses, when normalised by amplitude, is manifested as a distinct and highly repeatable signature. The shape of this signature is found to be independent of the size, shape and yaw angle of the wind turbine. It is further demonstrated how the robustness of the point target signature can be used to identify and filter out the impact of wind turbines in the radar's signal processor.
