The impact of new energy vehicles (NEV) on average fuel consumption of automakers’ passenger vehicles in China，is a question that has not been clearly addressed. In this paper, average accounting fuel consumptions and average real fuel consumptions of BYD Auto (hereinafter referred to as "BYD")’s passenger vehicles, as well as average fuel consumptions of BYD’s NEV and average fuel consumptions of BYD’s conventional energy vehicles (CEV) from 2016 to 2021, were calculated. Then the impact of production multiplier of NEV and low average fuel consumption of NEV were distinguished to reveal the path and extent of NEV’s impact on average fuel consumption of BYD's passenger vehicles.
The results showed that, Production multiplier of NEV and low average fuel consumption of NEV are key factors by which NEV promoted the decline of average fuel consumption of BYD’s passenger vehicles. Production multiplier of NEV caused the difference between average accounting fuel consumption and average real fuel consumption of BYD’s passenger vehicles, Low average fuel consumption of NEV caused the difference between average real fuel consumption of BYD’s passenger vehicles and average fuel consumption of BYD’s CEV, and the total impact of NEV on the average accounting fuel consumption of BYD’s passenger vehicles was equal to the sum of the above two differences, which is equal to average accounting fuel consumption of BYD’s passenger vehicles minus average fuel consumption of BYD’s CEV.

Consumption is a fundamental determinant of the economic success. Consumer spending is approximately 70 percent of the Gross domestic product (GDP). It is common to divide consumer spending into nondurables (clothing and food), durables (“large” goods, which are not purchased very often), and of course services (day care, banking, medical). The way to identify how the economy influences consumption is to look at specific economic cycles. At the top of the economy (when the economy is strong), people reaction is physically powerful, and consumers spend money freely. When the economy falters, confidence falls; consumers cut back on the spending and conserve their money. They stop buying, getting out of debt and focus on saving money. Understanding consumption is vital to the implementation and development of marketing strategies. The purpose for this empirical research is to review main indicators, which influence on consumption and identify methodological issues in need of resolution, and present possible approaches that may prove helpful in resolving those issues. The growth of interest in modeling consumption has led to behaviorally conceptual models in which selection dynamics play a vital role. The authors introduce two empirical models, which demonstrate correlation between macroeconomic indicators, social factors and Consumer price index (CPI). The first conceptual model shows that the CPI is a straighter measure than per capita Gross domestic product of the standard of living in Ukraine. By including a wide range of thousands of services and goods with the basket (fixed), the CPI can obtain a precise estimate of the cost of living. The second empirical model shows the interdependence of economic indicators (CPI, GDP, and Average wage index (AWI)) and social factors (gender, age, location).
Consumption composites is a project in which I want to reflect about the concept of recycling, to explore the idea of a society result of recycling, to see if it could be helpful to think in it in another way. I explore the act of recycling as a statement, as a discourse not as a solution for industrial production waste, the relation between the semiotics of the discarded material and the recycled resulting piece but most the interaction between these two and the final user/ spectator[1]. By looking at the soprum[2] is possible to see estrange combinations for instance baby pap packages with liquor bottles, political propaganda together with brochures advertising winter sports, a table with beer cans and a painting it. It is a composition in itself is a sort of collage where all possible come together. I found inspiring how waste could be classified from one criterion but mixed in other criteria like the cultural and semiotic one. Although there are differences between neighborhoods and municipalities, the half-ton of garbage produced by a Swedish citizen per year is classified by if the material could be recycled, composted, burn, landfilled or if it is hazardous for the environment or humans[3]. I put the waste together in order to create structures that further on could be used to build either furniture or spaces. I worked only with materials that were classified in the same category for instance newspapers or uncolored glass, keeping as much as possible the original form of the existing material in order to be able to see their original meaning or purpose. I noticed that the material transform to something new while keeping some of their form and semiotic properties when it is covered with a sort of layer. Something that reminds me the landfill, where the material is buried and then it is a new beginning but there is some transformation in the landscape that never would be the same. This is more an intervention in the materials in their way to their following step either landfill, recycling, burn or compost. The form and statement is the result of consumption from Stockholm where the material was collected and my own aesthetic intentions. [1](Debord, 1994) [2]Soprum: Swedish word for “garbage room” there are several versions of it but it is basically a room where the garbage can be sorted in different bins. [3]Avfall Sverige – Swedish Waste Management, was founded in 1947. It is a stakeholder and trade association in the field of waste management and recycling.

"Fashion Re-consumption; developing a sustainable fashion consumption practice influenced by sustainability and consumption theory." RMIT University. Architecture and Design, 2007. http://adt.lib.rmit.edu.au/adt/public/adt-VIT20080109.084214.
This thesis explores the problem of wasteful fashion consumption in light of the current need for individuals to develop a sustainable way of living. The Agenda 21 report from the Rio Earth Summit (1992) determined that sustainable consumption is an issue to be addressed in terms of resource conservation, waste reduction and a reduction of production pollutants. To date, in Australia, there are no policies or strategies in place to reduce wasteful consumption from the consumer's perspective and it is this research and policy deficit that this thesis research addresses. According to a recent national study of wasteful consumption, Australians spent approximately 1.7 billion dollars in 2004 on fashion garments and accessories that they did not wear (Hamilton et al. 2005). However, landfill statistics revealed that only a small proportion of textile waste (of which clothing is a subsidiary category) contributes to landfill (ABS, 1998). This discrepancy between the annual expenditure and the contribution of clothing to landfill informed the research hypothesis; that the greater majority of these inactive fashion garments are hoarded in wardrobes rather than disposed of. This hypothesis was tested through an action research case study in the form of a clothing exchange event and related data collection and analysis (part 2 of the thesis). The additional objectives of the clothing exchange event were to activate

Isa, Fatima. "Dietary consumption, fluid consumption and risk of developing bladder cancer." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2015. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/6013/.
This thesis focuses on three different parts: (1) An analyses of dietary consumption, diet diversity and risk of developing bladder cancer within a case-control study in China. This study showed that higher diet diversity, particularly a diet varied in fruit may reduce the risk of developing bladder cancer. In addition, there was a positive association between the consumption of red meat, organ meat, leafy vegetables, bulb vegetables or preserved vegetables may increase the risk of bladder cancer. The consumption of citrus fruits, stone fruits, vine fruits, flower vegetables, fresh fish, potatoes and dairy products may decrease the risk of developing bladder cancer. (2) A dose-response meta-analysis on the association between total fluid consumption and bladder cancer was conducted. The results of this study suggest a non-linear relationship between total fluid intake and bladder cancer risk in men. Also, the findings indicates that low to moderate fluid consumption was not associated with an increased risk of developing bladder cancer; although fluid consumption exceeding 8 cups per day might increase the risk of developing bladder cancer. (3) A pooled analysis on fluid consumption and risk of developing bladder cancer using individual patient data from the Bladder Cancer Epidemiology and Nutritional Determinant consortium. The results suggest that excess consumption of coffee per day may increase the risk of developing bladder cancer in men.

Hartmann, Benjamin. "Consumption and Practice : Unfolding Consumptive Moments and the Entanglement with Productive Aspects." Doctoral thesis, Internationella Handelshögskolan, Högskolan i Jönköping, IHH, Marketing and Logistics, 2013. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hj:diva-22601.
This thesis investigates consumption through a practice-theoretical perspective. Practices are routinized sets of human activity involving doings, meanings, and objects. Previous work has suggested conceiving of consumption as moments in practices. Yet, empirical and conceptual blind spots exist when it comes to understanding how consumption operates as practice moments. This thesis sets out to develop this conception of consumption by examining how consumption unfolds as practice moments. The study of consumption in relation to practices, however, is complicated by long-standing debates in marketing and business literature that impart the notion of consumption being entangled with production in various ways. These debates infuse the idea that in order to understand consumption one must also pay attention to its links with productive aspects. By treating practices as the empirical and theoretical sites for consumption and its entanglement with productive aspects, this thesis offers an alternative way of researching and theorizing consumption in relation to practice, and in relation to productive aspects. It presents four papers that draw on qualitative and quantitative empirical data collected in the contexts of online community practices, discursive re-enchantment practices, electric guitar playing, and gardening. The collective findings and analysis of the four papers reveal how consumption unfolds as practice moments in terms of ingredient, momentum, transformation, and consequence. Unfolding consumption in this way offers conceptual specification of its operation in relation to practices. Moreover, it allows theorization of how consumptive moments are linked to productive aspects in two ways: first, by specifying how consumptive moments are inherently productive; and second, by giving insight into the dyadic relation between consumptive and productive practice moments. Rather than collapsing consumption and production into one and the same or treating them as inherent in roles of consumers, producers, and prosumers, as advocated by previous works, this thesis suggests that consumption and production are useful analytical categories if framed as moments inherent in the practices that comprise our marketplaces and cultures. Several relevant implications emerge from this understanding regarding the concept of prosumption, the development of practice theory, understanding the operation of consumption in consumer culture, theorizing value creation, and the shaping of a practice-oriented marketing approach.
This thesis dissertation reflects on the way fans consume mediated sport today. The work is comprised of four articles. In Manufacturing conflict narratives in Real Madrid versus Barcelona football matches we challenged the identity-based generation of conflict and proposed a celebrity-based framework to understand fans’ sport consumption of narratives. In Community building in the digital age. Dynamics of online sports discussion and Discussion moderation in online media. The case of Marca newspaper the authors examined the comments section under the news in sports journalism. We explored users’ participation and interaction behaviour in a Spanish online sports community to conclude that fans’ engagement was based on liquid connections. Finally, in Quantifying the immeasurable: A reflection on sport, time and media I built on the previous research to comprehensively inquire the nature of mediasport consumption. Following the standardization of modern sports by means of quantification, I argue that mediated sport has become a globally consumable and simplified commodity. Esta tesis reflexiona sobre el consumo contemporáneo del deporte mediado. El trabajo se compone de cuatro artículos. En Manufacturing conflict narratives in Real Madrid versus Barcelona football matches cuestionamos la generación del conflicto basada en características identitarias y proponemos un marco teórico centrado en la cultura de celebridades para entender el consumo de narraciones de los aficionados. En Community building in the digital age. Dynamics of online sports discussion y Discussion moderation in online media. The case of Marca newspaper los autores analizamos los comentarios de los lectores en las noticias de periodismo deportivo. Exploramos la participación e interacción de los usuarios en una comunidad online deportiva y concluimos que el comportamiento de los fans se caracterizaba por la liquidez de sus lazos. Por último, en Quantifying the immeasurable: A reflection on sport, time and media se retoma la investigación anterior para ofrecer una reflexión integral sobre la esencia del consumo de mediasport. A través de la standarización del deporte moderno llevada a cabo mediante su cuantificación, justifico que el deporte mediado se ha convertido en un producto global y simplificado.

The term ‘consumption experience’ has become ubiquitous in marketing and consumer research circles. In this thesis I question the appropriateness of this canonical term. In its stead I employ the non-dualistic term ‘experiaction’, coined by an ecological psychologist, which points to the functional inseparability of experiencing and actions. I adopt a field-theoretical, phenomenologically-informed, perspective, whilst participating in, analysing, and writing about ten video-recorded research conversations. Likewise I address the various spin-off texts deriving from the initial conversations, such as transcripts and viewing-logs. I show that ‘field’-embedded individuals notice and act on many aspects of their immediate micro-environments, including their own intra-personal goings-on and expressive outputs. Through data analysis I identify five categories of regulable variables that an individual can act on as s/he seeks to regulate his/her sensing, relative to his/her reference value(s). Seen through this cybernetic lens, momentary human being comprises of a cyclical, ongoing process of self-regulation, in which individuals expediently employ and/or modify accessible resources and goings-on, in the service of seeking to actualise their currently-preferred, or expected, states-of-being, and to minimise unwelcome deviations therefrom. This thesis challenges the prevalent notion that when people consume particular products/services these offerings sponsor offering-dedicated experiences - what some people describe as ‘consumption experiences’. The concept of experiaction, in contrast, comprises of an ongoing interaction between a person and his/her micro-environment, in which the individual attends to, and acts on, whichever aspect(s) of his/her 360°-‘inner’-‘outer’-‘field’ become(s) momentarily salient to him/her, within the parameters imposed by his/her currently-sustained reference value(s).

In the current socio-economic context of crisis, accompanied by the significant increase in prices, major concerns are imposed to ensure the well-being of the population, both in the Republic of Moldova and in other states. The well-being of the population, in turn, is determined by the interconnection between income and consumption. A higher level of the population's income leads to higher consumption, and the discrepancies between the incomes of different social categories affect their security and quality of life. The security and quality of people's lives also depends on the purchasing power of households, the quantitative value of consumption, its structure and quality, as well as the assimilated and promoted conceptions of consumption, the social policy of the state. In this paper, the income and consumption expenditure situation of the population in the Republic of Moldova is analyzed based on documentation from statistical sources, as well as other secondary sources of information. Also, the analysis of food consumption of basic products in the Republic of Moldova in comparison with Romania is carried out. The research showed that in the Republic of Moldova the incomes of the population, compared to neighboring countries, are at a lower level, 41% being spent, according to the family budget research, for food consumption. In general, the level of provision of the population with basic food products is appreciated as satisfactory, but there are significant gaps between different categories of consumers, which requires the support of these categories by the state and society.

Like all living things, humans are "open systems." We're part of - not separate from - our environment, and we continually exchange materials, energy and information with it. What happens when we eat a piece of fruit, for instance? First, we use our senses (taste, smell, sight, touch, hearing) to gather information (Is it ripe?). Then, the fruit's material compounds enter our bodies. As we digest the fruit and break down and absorb its nutrients, energy accumulated from photosynthesis is released. We use this energy to burn carbohydrates through a process called cellular respiration. Being open systems, we return byproducts of respiration - carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) - back to the atmosphere; and we return some of the fruit¿s water and indigestible solid materials to the earth the form of liquid and solid waste.
