Assessment of the moisturizing potential of a two-phase topical care product containing vegetable oils, glycerin, panthenol, and sodium hyaluronate -…
2022
The presence of moisturizing substances and lipid substances determines the integrity of the epidermis cells and their barrier functions because it protects the interior of the body against environmental changes: temperature, humidity, ultraviolet radiation, pollution, and the effects of detergents. In this study, we performed a non-invasive, preliminary evaluation of the effects of a biphasic facial skin care product containing plant oils, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and panthenol on skin hydration levels and transepidermal water loss compared to a control group using only shea butter. The topical care product formed as a two-phase emulsion was tested. The research was carried out with the …
Knowledge, attitude, and practice of the use of ready-to-eat vegetables among potential consumers of Palermo (Italy).
2007
The knowledge, attitude, and practice toward the use of ready-to-eat vegetables were evaluated in a sample of 701 (388 women and 313 men) potential consumers in Palermo, by answering to an anonymous questionnaire handed out. Food safety perceptions and behaviors were analysed; in general, interviewed consumers who perceived higher risks exhibited safer food behaviors. There weren't considerable differences in the use of these salads between two sexes; 81.4% of respondents uses these products to save a lot of time, particularly the graduates attach importance to saving in time (p = 0.001), and only 34.4% is worrying about high price. Statistical analysis showed a significant correlation betw…
Comparisons of individual bitterness perception and vegetable liking and consumption among Danish consumers:A pilot study for a cross-cultural sensor…
2012
In order to enhance the consumption of bitter and strong tasting vegetables such as cabbages and root vegetables, it is required to identify potential mediators of sociodemographic–diet relationships. In this context a consumer field studywas conducted in Denmark which comprised a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, a bitter threshold value test kit with quinineand a preference test with two samples of carrots differing in the degree of bitterness. All tests were conducted outside the laboratory, and the subjects (n=116, aged 18 to 79) were recruited during two different events at two sites in April and June 2011.Data was subjected to multivariate data analysis in order to eluci…
Predicting fruit and vegetable consumption in long-haul heavy goods vehicle drivers : application of a multi-theory, dual-phase model and the contrib…
2018
Fruit and vegetable intake is insufficient in industrialized nations and long-haul heavy goods vehicle (HGV) drivers are considered a particularly at-risk group. The aim of the current study was to test the effectiveness of a multi-theory, dual-phase model to predict fruit and vegetable consumption in Australian long-haul HGV drivers. A secondary aim was to examine the effect of past fruit and vegetable consumption on model paths. A prospective design with two waves of data collection spaced one week apart was adopted. Long-haul HGV drivers (N = 212) completed an initial survey containing theory-based measures of motivation (autonomous motivation, intention), social cognition (attitudes, su…
Er det forskjell i barns inntak av frukt og grønnsaker og drikke ved 12, 24 eller 48 måneders alder mellom barn av mødre som har deltatt eller ikke d…

Masteroppgave folkehelsevitenskap ME516 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 Background: Women's intake of fruits and vegetables and drinks during pregnancy can affect both mother and child health.Aim: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the dietary intervention in pregnant women in the Fit for Delivery study has had an effect on what their child is eating and drinking at 12, 24 and 48 months of age.Method: Pregnant women were recruited up to week 20 of pregnancy and were randomized to either a control or intervention group. Participants responded to food frequencyquestionnaires at different time points. Independent sample t-tests were used to analyze the difference in intake of fru…
Providing choice and/or variety on vegetables: What impact on food intake?
2015
On the one hand, a choice situation gives an individual a sense of freedom, autonomy and control over the environment, which triggers higher intrinsic motivation and higher satisfaction (Deci and Ryan, 1985). Indeed, it has been demonstrated that a choice situation elicits higher food intake in a meal context (Rohlfs Domínguez et al., 2013; Parizel et al., 2015). On the other hand, providing variety has been demonstrated to enhance food intake. Rolls et al. (1981) argued that providing variety during a meal prevents the onset of specific sensory satiation which refers to the declining satisfaction generated by the monotonous consumption of a certain food. However, in an out-of-home catering…

Vasarzaļo rododendru spraudeņu pavairošanas potenciāls atkarībā no mātes augu un spraudeņu apstrādes
2015
Darba mērķis bija noskaidrot vasarzaļo rododendru spraudeņu pavairošanas potenciālu atkarībā no mātes augu priekšapstrādes (etiolācija, steidzināšana) un spraudeņu apstrādes ar auksīnu – indol-3-sviestskābi (ISS). Mātes augu etiolācija kopā ar ISS veicināja straujāku rizoģenēzi, bet neietekmēja apsakņoto spraudeņu skaitu. Etiolācija uzlaboja pārziemošanu grūtāk apsakņojamiem spraudeņiem. Mātes augu steidzināšana kopā ar ISS uzlaboja spraudeņu rizoģenēzi grūtāk apsakņojamiem genotipiem, veicināja jauno dzinumu attīstību, uzlabojot spraudeņu pārziemošanu. Nodrošinot apsakņotajiem spraudeņiem nepārtrauktu veģetācijas periodu, var būtiski palielināt pārziemojušo spraudeņu skaitu. Cietes koncent…
Effects of NAA and Ecklonia maxima Extracts on Lettuce and Tomato Transplant Production
2022
Ecklonia maxima and the commercial biostimulants produced from it contain various plant growth regulators that are responsible for the growth stimulation recorded in many crops. Auxins are one of the major plant growth regulators contained in E. maxima extracts. The aim of this research was to evaluate the growth-promoting effect of a seaweed extract from E. maxima on lettuce and tomato transplant production under nursery conditions, and to compare the effect of this extract with an equal concentration of synthetic auxin. Two doses of natural or synthetic exogenous auxins (50 or 100 μg L−1) were supplied to the substrate through the irrigation water with an ebb and flow system, 4, …
