Abstract: This paper investigated if Spanish consumers would be willing to consume vitamin D-enhanced pork meat from animals fed on mushrooms treated with ultraviolet (UV) light. The questionnaire briefly explained the context of the study (vitamin D deficiency) and asked the consumers to choose answers with which they were most in agreement (non-enriched meat, enriched meat with synthetic vitamin D or enriched meat with vitamin D from UV-irradiated mushrooms). A survey was conducted to 400 non-vegan nor vegetarian consumers in Aragón (Spain) by direct invitation. Sampling was carried out in a random and stratified manner, by province, gender and age group using the Aragón population data for 2017 (INE). Some sociodemographic, health and consumption habit data were requested. Most consumers preferred non-enriched meat. Treatment with UV-irradiated mushrooms was rejected by most consumers, and the consumers who presented any willingness to buy meat enriched with UV-irradiated mushrooms were in the youngest age group.

ABSTRACTTyphoid fever is disease caused by Salmonella typhi bacteria transmission trought contaminated food and drink. Data from RSUD dr. Abdoer Rahem showing that from 2011–2013 typhoid fever case always increase and often happened to children age 5–14 years old. The objective research to analysis risk factor of typhoid fever according to snacking habit at school and at house of children age 7–12 years old. This research was observasional case control study. Data for case in this research are taken from medical record of ‘Unit Teratai’ for the past 1 year in RSUD dr. Abdoer Rahem Situbondo, whereas for control are case group. There are eighty person taken for this research as sample. This result was the risk of typhoid fever children which has habit of hand washing had after defecation at home OR 3.67 (1.29 < OR < 10.64), children which has habit of hand washing before eating had OR 4.33 (1.54 < OR < 12.44), children with short dirty fingernails had OR 7.79 (1.46 < OR < 46.18) frequent street food consumption OR 3.89 (1.39 < OR < 11.06), buy snack at food street OR 3.95 (1.40 < OR < 11.30), buy some snack with packing had OR 3.5 (1.26 < OR < 9.38). The conclusion is that habit hand washing after defecation, habit hand washing before eating, short dirty fingernail, frequent food street consumption, buy food street and buy some food with sealed packing can secrease the risk of typhoid fever for children age 7–12 yearsKeywords: typhoid fever, risk factor of typhoid fever, personal hygiene, street food consumption habit

Aims:  The aim of this paper is to investigate the role of intention and habit in predicting adults’ drinking behaviour within the home setting. Measures:  A convenience sample of 414 Australians aged between 35 and 60 were recruited through targeted Facebook advertising. Eligibility criteria for study participation included reporting consuming alcohol at least once a week at home. Participants completed self-report measures of alcohol consumption, habit strength regarding home drinking behaviour, and intentions to consume alcohol. Differences in home drinking controlling for age and gender, by level of habit, and intention were examined using ANCOVA. Results:  Increases in intention were associated with an increase in home drinking. However, with habit and intention entered in the same model, only habit was a significant predictor of the amount of alcohol consumed in the home. For Australians, habit is a stronger predictor of alcohol consumption than intention. Conclusions:  Given that a large proportion of people are doing the majority of their drinking when at home, home-based interventions which target the habitual nature of home consumption may help to reduce consumption and related harm.

Nobody questions that advertising is one of the elements of the culture of our time and it generates consumption, being the children the most sensitive objectives. Thus, once the consumption habit is created, it is quite easy to correct its direction, directing it towards the satisfaction of new needs (Martínez, 1995: 12). We try throughout this research to understand the presence of the figure of children in any advertising spot and to set some implicit values that can affect them. For it, we have divided this study in four parts. The first part puts forward the reason of selection of this project. The second part, on which our study is based: the present mediatic society. Consumption predominates in our society, and it finds its maximum apogee on TV. advertising, since the television is a mass-media that has high social power. And the children are protagonists in spots because advertising tries to consolidate the habit of consumption in the childhood (Furones, 1980: 30). In the final part, we will continue with the development of proposals of intervention to prepare people to a critical and intelligent consumption. For it, we will concentrate in five scopes: school, family, the own intervention, the media and the community. The third part of our study presents audio-visual documents, base of our research. In it, we will describe the process of research followed by the object of our study, the audio-visual documents, and we will indicate the objectives that we considered. By watching the videos, we will collect the data that will be analyze with the object of valuing its adjustment to the intentions of the research and will present the results derived from the process. And finally we will indicate the conclusions that have come up in our study along with the consequences that will take us to future potential research and all those limitations that have come up throughout the research process. Nadie pone en duda que la publicidad es uno de los elementos de la cultura de nuestro tiempo y que ella genera consumo, siendo los niños los objetivos más sensibles. Así, una vez engendrado el hábito de consumo, es bastante fácil corregir su orientación, dirigiéndolo hacia la satisfacción de nuevas necesidades (Martínez, 1995: 12). Se pretende a lo largo de este trabajo de investigación comprender la presencia de la figura del niño en cualquier spot publicitario y determinar algunos valores implícitos que le afectan. Para ello hemos dividido este estudio en cuatro partes. Una primera parte que expone el motivo de selección del pro­yecto. Una segunda parte, en la cual se fundamenta de forma global el marco en el que se integra nuestro estudio: la actual sociedad mediática. Estando en una sociedad en la que predomina el consumo, y éste encuentra su máximo apogeo a través de la publicidad televisiva, ya que la televisión es un medio de comunicación de masas que tiene un alto poder social. Y son los niños los mayores protagonistas en los spots publicitarios, porque la pu­blicidad lo que intenta es consolidar el hábito de consumo en la infancia (Furones, 1980: 30). Se continuará en la parte final de este bloque, con la elaboración de propuestas de intervención para preparar a las personas a un consumo crítico e inteligente. Para ello, nos centraremos en cinco ámbitos: la escuela, la familia, la propia intervención, los medios y los colectivos ciudadanos. Una tercera parte del estudio presenta los documentos au­diovisuales, base de nuestra investigación. En ella, se describe el proceso de investigación seguido de nuestro objeto de estudio, los documentos audiovisuales y se señalan los objetivos planteados. Con la visualización de los vídeos, se procederá a recoger los datos obtenidos de los mismos, analizados con el objeto de valorar su adecuación a los propósitos de la investigación y se presentarán los resultados derivados del proceso. Y por último, se señalarán las conclusiones que se vislumbran del estudio, junto con las implicaciones que llevarán a potenciales futuras investigaciones y todas aquellas limitaciones que nos han asaltado a lo largo del proceso investigativo.
