Consumption Behaviour

The importance of studying the aspects related to the sustainable food consumption behaviour of students lies in the fact that, at this age, they begin to develop certain consumption patterns that will have long-term effects. The study aimed to identify the type of eating behaviour—sustainable vs. unsustainable—and the socio-demographic factors that influence it, among students in Romania, Bulgaria, and Moldova. The research method was a survey based on a questionnaire administered to a sample of 2378 subjects in the 2017–2018 period. The ANOVA test and simple linear regression were used to identify the correlation between the various variables analysed. The results indicate both positive aspects, which characterise a sustainable diet—high consumption of fruits and vegetables, and negative—the adoption of a mixed diet, which will have a long-term impact on the environment. Age is a good predictor of unhealthy eating habits among students, as this behaviour leads to weight gain. Gender, number of household members, rural/urban and country residence are also influencing factors for food consumption behaviour. Eating while standing and having the last meal of the day after 23:00 are practices that also have negative consequences for health. Conducting campaigns to educate students on the adoption of sustainable food consumption is necessary for all three countries to empower them to choose a healthy lifestyle.

Background: The age group susceptible to symptoms of Pre-Menstrual Syndrome begins in the early stages of puberty and ends at the menopause stage.The pathophysiology of Pre-Menstrual Syndrome is due to an imbalance of estrogen and progesterone hormones. One of the balancers of both hormones is the consumption of isoflavone food because the structure and its properties resemble estrogen.Objectives: The Purpose of this study was to analyzed the effect of nutritional education on the knowledge, attitude and behavior high food consumption of isoflavone content among female pre-menstrual syndrome.Method: The study was quasy experiment with pre- post control group design. The design of this research was the provision of nutrition education four times for 1 month with duration of each meeting 60 minutes and the provision of soy milk every meeting. The sample technique using simple random sampling total 38 respondents divided into 2 groups (treatment and control group). Preliminary screening to assess PMS using the Shortened Pramenstrual Assessment Form (SPAF) questionnaire. Dependent variable was knowledge, attitude and consumption behavior of isoflavone food, while independent variable was nutrition education.The analysis was performed using Independent t-test.Result: After nutrition education there was significant difference of knowledge and attitude level between treatment and control group respectively p value 0.039 and 0.022. In addition, there were also differences in high food consumption behavior of isoflavone content. The majority of food types are often consumed including: fried tempeh (p = 0.044), tofu (p = 0.036), garlic (p = 0.014) ice soybean milk (p = 0.044) and soybean milk (p = 0.004).Conclusion: Provision of nutrition education to the treatment group can change knowledge, attitude and behavior of high food consumption of isoflavone content, with the existence of increasing consumption behavior, than pre-menstrual syndrome symptoms at student of FKM UNAIR decreased slowly. Although not all types of foods high levels of isoflavones consumed by respondents due to limited time research.ABSTRAKLatar belakang: Kelompok umur yang rentan mengalami gejala Pre-Menstrual Syndrome dimulai pada tahap awal pubertas dan berakhir pada tahap menopause. Patofisiologi Pre-Menstrual Syndrome terjadi karena ketidakseimbangan hormon estrogen dan progesteron. Salah satu penyeimbang kedua hormon yaitu konsumsi pangan isoflavon karena struktur dan sifatnya menyerupai estrogen.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk untuk menganalisis pengaruh pendidikan gizi terhadap pengetahuan, sikap dan perilakukonsumsi pangan tinggi kadar isoflavon pada mahasiswi dengan premenstrual syndrome.Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitianquasi experiment dengan pendekatan pre-post control group design. Rancang bangun penelitian ini yaitu pemberian intervensi pendidikan gizi 4x pertemuan selama 1 bulan dengan durasi masing-masing pertemuan 60 menit dan pemberian susu kedelai setiap pertemuan. Tehnik sampel menggunakan simple random sampling total 38 responden dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok (kelompok perlakuan dan kontrol). Skrining awal untuk menilai PMSmenggunakan kuesioner Shortened Pramenstrual Assessment Form (SPAF). Variabel dependen adalah pengetahuan, sikap dan perilaku konsumsi pangan isoflavon, sedangkan variabel independen pendidikan gizi. Analisis yang dilakukan menggunakan uji t Independent.Hasil: Setelah diberikan pendidikan gizi terdapat perbedaan signifkan tingkat pegetahuan dan sikap antara kelompok perlakuan dan kontrol dengan nilai p masing-masing 0,039 dan 0,022. Selain itu juga terdapat perbedaan perilaku konsumsi pangan tinggi kadar isoflavon mayoritas jenis makanan sering dikonsumsi meliputi:tempe goreng (p=0,044), tahu (p=0,036), bawang putih (p=0,014) es susu kedelai (p=0,044) dan susu kedelai (p=0,004).Kesimpulan: Pemberian intervensi pendidikan gizi kepada kelompok perlakuan dapat merubah pengetahuan, sikap dan perilaku konsumsi pangan tinggi kadar isoflavon, dengan adanya perilaku konsumsi yang meningkat, maka gejala pre-menstrual syndrome pada mahasiswi FKM UNAIR juga menurun secara perlahan. Walaupun belum semua jenis makanan yang tinggi kadar isoflavon dikonsumsi oleh responden dikarenakan keterbatasan waktu penelitian.

A quantitative descriptive strategy was applied to identify food patterns for Filipino consumers before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Sampling was carried out using simple random sampling techniques. An electronic-questionnaire served as primary research instrument and was distributed through social media platforms to which 80 out of 250 responses were selected. Simple quantitative analysis such as mean value, frequency distribution and percentage were utilized. Results showed that the most of the respondent’s diet has wellness, social and psychological influence. Organic diet desires and self-cooking practices are continuing to grow. The study also showed that the essential aspects of food choice, health, quality and safety are increasingly being taken into account. The COVID-19 pandemic shifted the habits of food intake to healthier, influencing even the preference of consumed food. Thus, this study can be used as a theoretical guide especially for factors influencing the eating patterns during a pandemic. Ergo, food establishments can make use of the results to strategize to combat the COVID-19 pandemic by improving product quality on the basis of consumer needs and demands.

Dayasari residential college building was designed with the internal courtyard that allows for numerous implementations of bioclimatic design strategies, especially on daylighting. The field measurement was conducted at eight unoccupied student rooms, selected as samples to represent ten scenarios and orientations that concerned with the level of radiation and penetration of sunlight. This study reveals the contribution of the internal courtyard in the residential college which allows the daylight penetration at the corridor areas and interior of the rooms through the transom over the entrance door, up to ten hours daily. Different amounts of daylight were measured in specific room scenarios to suggest on the most comfortable indoor living space. The recorded mean value for indoor varied from 37 to 286 lux, while in the corridor area 192 to 3,848 lux. However, the use of the large overhangs over the windows, wall openings in the room and trees with large canopy in the landscape setting should critically justify when the adequacy of daylight was drastically reduced in certain rooms.

The purpose of this paper is to conduct an exploratory investigation on the level of operations management best practices.  A sample random t-test analysis was used upon a high technology company that was selected based on simple random sampling from government agency directory. After various attempts, 72 out of 138 are providing feedback. However, only 34 can be used, the rest did not answer completely. Descriptive analysis and t-test analysis were performed on 34 completed feedbacks. Six factors in the form of quality commitment, customer focus, formalization of performance measurement, people management, process management and technology management were examined as predictors for operations management best practices. Findings indicated that the mean value is more than 3 for all dimensions. Furthermore, most cases are significant as the selected samples are high technology based companies and their workers are knowledgeable in terms of operations management best practices.

Nutritional Needs

Weaning too early can affect the growth of the baby and the mother often ignores the nutritional needs of the baby. In addition, malnutrition is more common today than during the first 4-6 months of life. This is because many families do not understand the special needs of babies and are unable to provide food with good nutritional value. The type of research used is a survey with a cross-sectional study approach. The population is all mothers who have babies aged 6 months and the sample is all mothers who have babies aged 6 months. The sampling technique was simple random sampling. The results showed that there was a significant effect between mothers who did weaning for less than 6 months with education = 0.006. There is a significant effect between mothers who do weaning for less than 6 months with employment status = 0.008. There is a significant effect between mothers who do weaning less than 6 months with birth spacing = 0.007.

PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the gendered nature of craft beer (CB) consumption in Italy and Germany.Design/methodology/approachData were collected through online surveys in Italy (N = 210) and Germany (N = 211). Based on an enhanced version of the theory of planned behaviour, mean value difference tests and moderated regression analyses with gender as a moderator were performed to test gender effects on CB consumption behaviour.FindingsThe study results provide evidence that the gap in CB consumption behaviour is not very pronounced. In the German sample, gender did not moderate the effects of the model components on behavioural intent. However, the study found significant mean differences in all model variables. In the Italian sample, gender moderated the effects of several components of the theory of planned behaviour on behavioural intention. Hence, CB consumption appears to represent an opportunity for Italian women to negotiate their womanhood in a historically masculine-dominated space.Research limitations/implicationsThe limitations of these data are the focus on two specific countries, the use of small-sized samples and the prediction of behavioural intentions instead of actual behaviour.Practical implicationsThe study may help marketing managers develop appropriate marketing strategies based on a better understanding of gender-specific needs in CB consumption.Originality/valueThis investigation provides the first comparative analysis of gender-specific behavioural patterns in CB consumption in two European countries characterised by notably different beer cultures.
