Abstract:

Abstract. With the transition from modernism to postmodernism, identity as a concept has started to become redefined in sociology literature. The aim of this study is to show that postmodernism and symbolic interactionism are fused together to delineate both the scene as well as an actor’s identity. In that way, the interaction of a social structure with a culture that won’t be completely ignored, and, with the opinion that the categorized roles can skillfully be shaped and diversified by actors, it is possible to refrain from a pure determinism. But the transformation to enter different roles lacks meaning. Individuals pay more attention to their appearance more than who they are in order to be accepted by each group. In this manner, a metaphysical shell game begins. In the following study, the “Social Appearance Anxiety” was used as an indicator of this game. And to determine who is willing to play the game, cultural parameters were utilized. This study was based on the analysis of the data collected through two questionnaires given to 181 students studying at Hitit University. The INDCOL questionnaire [Singelis et al., 1995] measuring cultural values and “Social Appearance Anxiety” scale developed by [Hart, 2008] were used in the study.

Abstract:

Purpose This research aims to investigate if consuming fashion apparel brands for the purpose of social appearance expressiveness may garner calculative brand commitment, through the mediation of narcissistic brand love. It also tests moderation of gender for the aforementioned mediated relationship. Design/methodology/approach The research has a core qualitative component (Study 1), which focuses on an interpretivist approach using a grounded theory paradigm to analyze data (N = 37) collected from semi-structured depth interviews. It is followed by a positivist survey based enquiry (study 2), and the data (N = 245) were analyzed using Haye’s (2017) process macro. Findings Analysis reveals that Indian consumers fall in narcissistic love with those apparel brands that aid their quest for maintaining desirable social appearances and develop a calculative commitment toward the brands, which aid this quest. The effect of social appearance expressiveness of apparel brand on consumers’ narcissistic brand love is moderated by gender, such that female consumers (as compared to males) are more invested in consuming fashion apparel brands as a means to enhance their social appearances. Originality/value The value of this study lies in extending self-presentation theory to understand the role of consumer narcissism in shaping Indian consumers’ fashion apparel consumption. The authors investigate the narcissistic consumption orientation that evolves as a result of consumers’ desire for social self-expression, irrespective of possessing narcissism as an enduring personality trait. Thus, the findings are relevant for possibly all consumers who, given certain conditions, may temporarily develop narcissistic brand love.

Abstract:

Instagram not only offers an arena for the fulfillment of basic human desires but also cultivates new types of multifaceted desires and consumptions in Web 2.0 environments. This study aims to examine a wide variety of dispositional, psychological, and attitudinal predictors of Instagram consumption and selfie-and-groupfie cultures. Three cross-sectional surveys (Study 1 (N = 108); Study 2 (N = 140); Study 3 (N = 557)) were conducted, and empirical data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with Mplus 8.0. Study 1 shows associations among appearance-related self-confidence, appearance-related actual–ideal self-discrepancy, materialism, and Instagram consumption. Study 2 confirms relationships among weight status perception, self-esteem, eating disorder, malicious envy, and Instagram consumption intensity. Study 3 further demonstrates dynamic associations among eating disorders, perceived mate value, narcissistic grandiosity, envy, social comparison, intrasexual competition for mates, and frequency of posting selfies/groupfies on Instagram. Theoretical contributions to the psychosocial and human aspects of the Web 2.0 digital culture, managerial implications for online dating cultures, and practical implications for consumption markets including social media-based health communication, cultural communication, and marketing communication are discussed.

Abstract:

In recent years, the popularity of online live-streaming commerce is favored by consumers. Live-streaming commerce have good prospect and great development potential, so it is important to know consumers’ concerns. Using content analysis of audience comments on 5 Douyin videos, this research studies, from the perspective of consumers, how the influencer's communication behavior affects consumers' reactions. Findings show that consumers are concerned with 4 key aspects: appearance, personal style, product quality and credibility. Especially for appearance, comments show that audience usually tend to care more about female influencers’ appearance rather than that of male influencers and most of their comments about female influencers’ appearance were negative, while their comments about male influencers were more positive. This research studies a new form of consumption that has sprung up in China in recent years, helping to know more about Chinese consumers' views on online consumption, as well as online consumption culture.

Abstract:

Consumers today continue to be enchanted by appearance fashions. For some, having the capacity to style their bodies in ways they desire entitles them to ‘position’ into this practice in line with aspirational cultural standards. This, in turn, can produce considerable emotional rewards. Yet ‘keeping up’ with appearance revisions demands unwavering effort and substantial investments be made. Consequently, for others, maintaining standards in fashionable appearance also represents a source of anxiety, distress and disillusionment. In this article the relationship between social class, the development of emotional tendencies and consumption practice is theorized by locating the intersection of consumption and emotion experience within the context of social structures. Bourdieu’s practice theory, and more recent conceptualizations of class-based emotions, provide useful frameworks to interpret a variety of divergent fashion consumption strategies occurring amongst women. The article illuminates the vital role of intense emotional experiences in social life. It demonstrates how class position converges with familial relations to produce divergent forms of emotional-habitus, which structure consumption patterns to produce competing categories of fashioned femininity. Distance and discriminations between classes of individuals become increasingly perceptible when the emotions surrounding fashion consumption experiences are unraveled.

Abstract:

Most valuable cured products from Iberian pigs come from pure bred animals raised for a final grazing-fattening period where pigs eat mainly acorns, a low protein energy rich fruit. This is a nutritional challenge for animals fed equilibrated diets from weaning. The aim of the study was to determine net portal appearance (NPA) of metabolites in gilts fed acorns and evaluate adaptational changes after one week of feeding. Two sampling periods were carried out (after one day and after one week of acorn feeding) with six gilts (34 kg average BW) set up with three catheters: in carotid artery and portal vein for blood sampling, and ileal vein for para-aminohippuric acid (PAH) infusion to measure portal plasma flow (PPF). Pigs were fed at 2.5 × ME for maintenance a standard diet in two portions, at 09:00 (0.25) and 15:00 h (the remaining 0.75). On the day prior to the first sampling period, pigs were fed 2.4 kg of oak acorns. After feeding 0.25 of ration a 6 h serial blood collection was initiated. Following an identical protocol, a second sampling session was performed 1 week later. Adaptation to acorn consumption decreased NPA of ammonia (47%,P < 0.001). Although there was a transfer of urea from the gastrointestinal tract to the circulation in both sampling periods, no differences in NPA of urea was found (P > 0.05). NPA of glucose was not influenced by sampling period (P > 0.05), but NPA of lactate was greatly increased (231%,P < 0.001). There was a negative NPA of albumin although adaptation to acorn feeding did not alter it. Although NPA of triglycerides and cholesterol were unchanged, a subtle increase in arterial and portal cholesterol was noticed (9.6%,P < 0.01). Pigs fed a protein deficient diet for one week adapted decreasing NPA of ammonia for saving metabolic energy as less ammonia would become available for conversion to urea.

Abstract:

Dispersed medullary thick ascending limb (MTAL) cells of the rabbit kidney produce an inhibitor of transport-related oxygen consumption when incubated at 37 degrees C. Appearance of this inhibitor is enhanced by incubation with arachidonic acid. Its appearance can be prevented by either 10(-6) M nordihydroguaiaretic acid or 10(-4) M indomethacin, but not by 10(-6) M indomethacin. These results suggest that the transport inhibitor is an eicosanoid produced by a pathway other than that catalyzed by cyclooxygenase. It inhibits ouabain-sensitive respiration in intact cells treated with amphotericin, suggesting direct inhibition of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase.

Abstract:

The recent economic affluence in Vietnam is leading to a growing interest in beauty. Especially, beauty-related industries, including cosmetic brands, beauty shops and spas are developing, beauty products are becoming more diversified and the interest in appearance is growing. Therefore, this study aims to examine Vietnamese female university students’ interest in physical appearance and the real state of their appearance management behaviors. As for the conclusion of the effect of regional body satisfaction on appearance interest, it can be seen that the higher the satisfaction with the face, the higher the interest in appearance in the northern region. In the central region, higher satisfaction with skin and face means higher interest in appearance. In the southern region, the higher the satisfaction with height, abdomen, weight, and upper body, the higher the interest in appearance. These results can serve as basic data for understanding of the consumer market and analysis of the consumer class in the beauty industry by showing aesthetic consciousness and appearance management behaviors of Vietnamese female university students, who are central consumers of the beauty industry. It is considered there is a need to analyze consumption behaviors, including consumption patterns of Vietnamese female university students in more detail, and further studies on aesthetic consciousness and appearance management behavior patterns among more various types of subjects should be carried out for application to the present beauty industry.

Abstract:

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to analyse consumers whose identity is not based on appearance-related consumption, but who want distance themselves from consumers willing to spend on physical appearance. The article examines importance of gender, age and place of residence in explaining self-evaluated low-level consumption of beauty care and clothing, and how the proportions of these consumers have changed between socio-demographic groups. The data consists of three cross-sectional consumption and lifestyle surveys collected in 1999 (N = 2 417), 2004 (N = 3 574) and 2009 (N = 1 202). The results suggest that a significant part of Finnish consumers do not consider beauty care or clothing consumption to be a part of their identity. The results indicate some temporal changes in Finnish consumers’ beauty care consumption evaluations. It seems that gender differences have been relatively stable, whereas disparities between consumers of different ages as well as urban and rural consumers have diminished.

Abstract:

College students are heavy consumers of energy beverages, yet further study is needed to better understand determinants of use. The purpose of this cross-sectional study ( N = 283) was to identify beliefs explaining unsafe consumption practices. A principal components analysis revealed three eigenvalues >1 explaining approximately 55% of the variance (health and appearance, performance and fatigue, and recreation and alcohol). Multiple regression analysis explained 75% of the variance for intent to consume. Standardized beta for attitude and subjective norms was p < .001; perceived behavioral control was p < .05. MANOVA was used to determine the effect of gender on eight dependent variables (Wilks’s lambda = 3.78, p < .001). Attitudes and subjective norms influenced the intent to consume energy beverages, particularly in males. Students viewed energy beverages as useful for managing health and appearance and performance and fatigue, and as a way to enhance recreation and alcohol consumption.

Abstract:

The results of the influence of a dry powder obtained from Antonovka apples growing in the Kursk region on the consumer properties of crispbreads in which whole wheat and rye flour were partially replaced with apple powder in the amount of 10, 15 and 20% are presented. The optimal content of dried apple powder in baked samples of crispbread was determined during the experiment by the results of a study of organoleptic and physico-chemical quality indicators of samples. To assess the quality of the developed samples of crispbreads, an expert method was used to determine the weighting factors of product quality indicators. In the course of the calculations for experts, the most significant indicator was taste; the second by weight - appearance; the third is smell; fourth is form; fifth – color; the sixth is a view in kink. During the study of organoleptic indicators using a point scale, the largest amount of points (28.8 points) was gained by a sample of bread with the addition of 20% apple powder (it replaced 10% whole wheat and rye flour, respectively). This sample had an appearance interspersed with flavors and the presence of minor bubbles; pleasant taste and smell characteristic of apples; uniform color; rectangular shape; layered, with uniform porosity, without swelling, hardening, traces of an unbreakable appearance in a kink. The study of physical and chemical parameters made it possible to establish that with an increase in the amount of the additive (Antonovka apple powder), the mass fraction of moisture and acidity increase due to dietary fiber and acids that make up the apple powder.

Abstract:

In Iberian pig outdoor production, pigs are fed equilibrated diets until the final fattening period when grazing pigs consume mainly acorns from oak trees. Acorns are rich in energy but poor in crude protein where lysine is the first limiting amino acid (AA). Net portal appearance (NPA) is very useful to ascertain AA available for liver and peripheral tissues. The aim of this study was to determine NPA of AA in Iberian gilts fed with acorns and to ascertain if there was an effect of acorn feeding over time. Two sampling periods were carried out (after one day and after one week of acorn feeding) with six gilts (34 kg average BW) set up with three catheters: in carotid artery and portal vein for blood sampling, and ileal vein for a marker infusion to measure portal plasma flow (PPF). Pigs were fed at 2.5 × ME for maintenance a standard diet in two meals, at 09:00 (0.25) and 15:00 h (the remaining 0.75). The day previous to first sampling, pig diet was replaced by 2.4 kg of acorn. A serial blood collection was done at −5 min, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5 and 6 h after feeding 0.25 of total daily acorn ration. Following identical protocol, one week later the second sampling was done. NPA of sum of essential AA (EAA) was poor. Although increased NPA of histidine (P < 0.001), leucine, phenylalanine and valine (0.05 < P < 0.08) was found after one week of acorn consumption, the sum of EAA did not change. Furthermore, fractional absorption (NPA/AA intake) of EAA, non-essential AA (NEAA) and total AA was 97, 44 and 49% lower, respectively, at the beginning of eating acorn than a week later. Supplementation, with some of the EAA and NEAA to Iberian pigs during the grazing period would be beneficial to overcome the increased portal-drained viscera (PDV) utilization of AA observed in the present study.

Abstract:

Interest in wine has grown in the recent decades. The examination of consumer behavior has become more and more important in countries with highly-developed wine cultures, which is a result of the developing market, the expending supply, the strengthening competition as well as the diverse demands (Hoffmeister & Totth, 2004). Similarly to food consumption, wine consumption is also influenced by several factors. The purchasing decision is influenced by biological, economic, demographic, psychological, social and cultural factors. Sensory marketing is related to the biological factors from the factors in the above because it focuses on sensation and sensory perception (Lehota, 2001). Seeing is the most intensive among our sensory organs, as we perceive 80% of the information from the world with our eyes. With the help of this we can recognize possible changes in the appearance of a product; we perceive the different design, colors, packaging, forms and materials. Thus, appearance is the most significant element of sensory marketing. When the appearance of a product is appealing, it will be able to satisfy functional as well as emotional needs (Tóbiás, 2010). The complex experience provided by wine consumption is triggered by the simultaneous interaction of several sensory organs (Becker & Izsó, 2011). In our primary research we examined the role of the elements of sensory marketing in wine purchasing and consumption habits. In our focus group interviews we discussed participants’ wine purchasing and consumption habits and the factors influencing purchase

Abstract:

A non-smoking, nicotine-containing, non-tobacco product is new to Russia. There are no normative legal documents regulating circulation, production, certification, control methods and ingredient composition. The composition of the product is not controlled. The absence of state regulation, technical requirements and regulatory documents for nontobacco nicotine-containing products, control methods and methods for its identification is a serious problem today, and the solution of the listed problems is extremely important and urgent. This situation has led to the appearance of a large number of products produced by semihandicraft methods. Technical conditions for their production are the property of a manufacturer, which allows unscrupulous manufacturers to manufacture a product that often represents a real threat to the health of consumers. The research began in 2018 in the Laboratory of technology for the manufacture of tobacco and tobacco products and aimed at solving the following problems: – monitoring of the Russian market of non-smoking nicotine-containing products for oral consumption; – research of consumer characteristics of brands of this type of products; – obtaining experimental data for an objective assessment of the toxic load of the test samples. The work was carried out according to the program developed in the laboratory using the following methods: – visual inspection (establishes the appearance of the consumer packaging and the labels on the packaging); – organoleptic and tasting assessment (establish consumer characteristics of the product); – establishment of individual characteristics (presence or absence of tobacco); – determination of physical, chemical and toxic indicators of the product: humidity, fractional composition, nicotine content.

Abstract:

The present study aimed to identify the association between sociodemographic and lifestyle-related factors with the response time from the appearance of symptoms potentially related to head and neck cancer (HNC) and gain an insight regarding the main source of health information about this specific area. Specific perceptions about human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in the head and neck area were also explored. An Internet-based survey was conducted between June 30, 2016, and July 31, 2016, using a structured questionnaire. The study sample comprised 1058 adults. A direct association was found between the response time period from the potential appearance of a mouth ulcer/soreness ( P < .001), earache ( P = .014), hoarseness ( P < .001), or painless lump in the neck ( P = .003) and alcohol consumption, as well as between smoking ( P = .012) and soft-drink consumption ( P < .001) and the appearance of hoarseness. Inverse association was found between age and the appearance of a mouth ulcer/soreness ( P = .017) and between a person’s educational level ( P < .001) and yearly income ( P = .006) and the appearance of an earache. A total of 79.1% of study participants seemed aware that oral sex represents the main mode of HPV transmission; this understanding was directly associated with a person’s educational level ( P < .001) and yearly income ( P = .001) and inversely associated with alcohol consumption ( P = .037). Health policy makers and health professionals need to devise strategies to increase the awareness of HNC risk associated with sexual behavior especially in young adults. The repressing effect of alcohol on timely patient response should be demonstrated in targeted campaigns, and the understanding of the “iceberg phenomenon,” frequently associating even common head and neck symptoms with HNC, acknowledged in undergraduate and postgraduate physician training.

Abstract:

Baby boomers have been credited with an essentially ’youthful’ approach to themselves, to consumption and to life-style. As they enter midlife and older age they are also faced with the challenges of a mature identity. This paper critically examines the strategies that baby boomers in the United Kingdom use to manage identity as they grow older. Specifically, questions concerning attitudes to cohort labels, personal ageing and other generations are compared to the consumption choices that are made in areas considered to be key to an ageing identity, including: appearance, clothing and bodily maintenance. Boomers identify with succeeding rather than preceding generations. While they claim not to be concerned with bodily ageing as such, their strategies are aimed at maintaining a balance between youthful and mature identities. Priority was given to blurring the boundaries between themselves and younger adult generations. The implications for the relationship between adult ageing and patterns of consumption are explored.

Abstract:

The study aims to determine the effect of the addition of probiotics, prebiotics and eubiotics in broilers on the appearance of broiler production. The material used was 100 broilers, which were kept from Day Old Chicks until the age of 4 weeks and distributed in 4 groups, namely probiotics, prebiotics and eubiotics. The research method was experimental compiled based on a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications. The treatments tested were as follows: the control group (without any additions), probiotics, prebiotics and eubiotics. The variables observed in this study were feed consumption; weight gain (PBB); feed conversion; carcass weight and mortality. The data obtained were analyzed using analysis of variance and if there were differences between treatments. The results showed that the addition of probiotics, prebiotics and eubiotics increased weight gain, increased consumption and was able to suppress the value of feed conversion.Keywords: Broiler, Appearanc, Growth Boosters

Abstract:

There is a significant increase in overweight and obesity in adolescents worldwide. Here, we performed a cross-sectional study to examine the potential association between food consumption profiles and overweight in a large number of adolescents from Brazil. Sampling by clusters and conglomerates was carried out in students of public schools in Salvador, Brazil, between June and December 2009 and 1496 adolescents were evaluated. Data on socio-epidemiological data, anthropometric status and food consumption were captured. Multivariate analyses, such as hierarchical clustering and correlation networks, were used to perform a detailed description of food consumption profiles. There were differences in age and anthropometric status related to sex. Four clusters of food groups were identified based on the intake profile in the study population. No disparities in food intake were observed in individuals stratified by sex or anthropometric status. Furthermore, network analysis revealed that overweight or obesity were hallmarked by a selectivity in the ingestion of food groups that resulted in the appearance of inverse correlations of consumption, which was not present in eutrophic adolescents. Thus, overweight and obesity are associated with preferential choices of ingestion of specific food groups, which result in the appearance of inverse correlations of consumption. Such knowledge may serve as basis for future targeted nutritional interventions in adolescents.

Abstract:

In this paper we review the mechanisms through which carotenoid coloration could provide a sexually selected cue to condition in species with elaborate color vision. Skin carotenoid pigmentation induced by fruit and vegetable consumption may provide a similar cue to health in humans (particularly light-skinned Asians and Caucasians). Evidence demonstrates that carotenoid-based skin coloration enhances apparent health, and that dietary change can perceptibly impact skin color within weeks. We find that the skin coloration associated with increased fruit and vegetable consumption benefits apparent health to a greater extent than melanin pigmentation. We argue that the benefits to appearance may motivate individuals to improve their diet and that this line of appearance research reveals a potentially powerful strategy for motivating a healthy lifestyle.

Abstract:

Changes in food consumption, physical inactivity, and other lifestyle habits are potential causes of the obesity epidemic. Paradoxically, the media promotes idealization of a leaner body appearance. Under these circumstances, self-perception of weight by adolescents may be affected. Here, we performed a cross-sectional study, between June and December 2009, to evaluate the interaction between anthropometric status, perceived body weight, and food consumption profiles in 1496 adolescents from public schools in Salvador, Brazil. Data on socio-epidemiological information, anthropometric status, and dietary patterns were analyzed using multidimensional statistical approaches adapted from systems biology. There were dissimilarities between anthropometric status and perception of body weight related to sex. Four dietary patterns were identified based on the food intake profile in the study participants. The distinct dietary patterns were not influenced by divergence between measured and perceived weight. Moreover, network analysis revealed that overestimation of body weight was characterized by a selectivity in ingestion of food groups that resulted in appearance of inverse correlations of consumption. Thus, misperception of body weight is associated with inverse correlations of consumption of certain food groups. These findings may aid individualized nutritional interventions in adolescents who overestimate body weight.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the attitudes and behaviors of the administrative staff of four Baku universities toward the consumption of environmentally friendly products. The study used 536 consumer questionnaires belonging to different socio-economic and demographic consumer groups. The survey evaluated the factors that affected purchasing decisions, purchase intentions, awareness, attitudes and behaviors toward green products of respondents living in an urban area. The results from the survey were analyzed using one-way MANOVA analysis. According to the results of the study, the green consumer behaviors of the survey participants differed according to age, the number of household members, marital status, education level and income. At the same time, the main indicators that consumers paid attention to were price, brand, appearance, advertising, expert opinion and label information. The level of importance of these indicators varied according to the education, income and number of household members of the participants. The results showed that the participants of the survey were partially sensitive to the environment.

Abstract:

Background Inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption causes a considerable disease burden and premature mortality. Despite public health promotion of a healthy diet, the average consumption is still below recommended levels. Fruit and vegetable consumption influences human skin color, increasing red/yellow/orange pigment in the skin. Given that this color is deemed attractive and healthy-looking, the appearance benefit may motivate to eat more fruit and vegetables. Such appearance motivation could be particularly useful in young individuals who currently eat the least fruit and vegetables. Objective Our objectives were to assess how widely the impact of diet on skin color is known within the UK and to compare the strength of motivation to eat fruit and vegetables based on health and appearance benefits among different demographic groups. Methods Four groups of UK residents (N=200 per group) were recruited through the Prolific online platform. Groups comprised younger (aged 18-24) and older adults (aged 40-60) of low and high self-reported socioeconomic status (1-5 and 6-10 on a 10-point rating scale). Facial images simulating the skin color associated with low and high fruit and vegetable diets were shown to participants. Questionnaires were used to assess (1) background knowledge of the health and skin color effects of dietary fruit and vegetables, (2) the specific motivational impact of the skin color illustration, and (3) the relative importance of motivation to consume fruit and vegetables arising from health and skin color appearance benefits. Results We found that 61% (n=487) of all participants were unaware of the dietary–skin color association. We also found that 57% (n=457) of participants found the simple demonstration of the dietary impact on skin color positively motivating to eat more fruit and vegetables. The visual demonstration was equally motivating for participants of high and low self-reported socioeconomic status (P=.63) and different ethnic backgrounds (White N=453, Black N=182, Asian N=87, P=.22). Health benefits from a diet high in fruit and vegetables were regarded as more motivating than skin color appearance benefits. The appearance-changing benefits of a high fruit and vegetable diet (compared to the health benefits) were relatively more important for the younger participants (Mann-Whitney U=96,263, P<.001) and for women (N=489) than for men (N=310, U=83,763, P=.01). Conclusions These findings indicate that the promotion of the skin color effects of diets high in fruit and vegetables could provide additional motivation for a healthier diet. Our study indicates the broad appeal of appearance benefits from dietary fruit and vegetable (across ethnicity and socioeconomic status) and particularly amongst young adults where an inadequate diet is most prevalent.

The appearance of foodstuffs playing important role in health promotion may have a positive impact on blocking or reversing the above mentioned process. That's the reason why I chose functional food-products and the consumption habits of the functional flour. Under my examinations 1 investigated the notoriety, reputation and consumption frequency of functional flour. Besides I tried to explore the reasons resulting in the non-consumption of these food-products.

Abstract:

Picky eating with regard to fruit and vegetables is common among children. This study investigated the effectiveness of enhancing the visual appeal of fruit and vegetables to increase children’s liking and consumption of fruit and vegetables. A pre–post experimental design was used, and the control and experimental groups were repeatedly exposed to the original food and transformed food, respectively, over 6 weeks. Significant differences in the consumption of pumpkin, sweet potato, spinach, carrot and aubergine were observed between the groups, demonstrating that the appearance appeal of fruit and vegetables improves the willingness of children to try disliked fruit and vegetables and increases their vegetable consumption.

Abstract Paradoxically, the more educated and wealthier the society is, the greater the negative impact on the environment, because the consumption needs are higher, which leads to an increase in the pollution of the environmental factors. This leads us to the conclusion that, in order to achieve sustainable development, education of the population is not sufficient. The link between sustainable development and education is very complex, and the challenge faced by mankind is to educate the population to become a factor of change.

Abstract:

Objective: To examine the relationship between early exposure to pornography and genital-related satisfaction among young Irish adults. Design and Method: This study employed cross-sectional survey data from 2,162 University students, of whom 53% were male. Data were collected via an anonymous online questionnaire, which included items on pornography consumption and the Genital Self-Image Scales for females and males. Results: Pornography consumption was reported by 99.7% of males and 89.6% of females. The majority (51.3%) of the male respondents reported being exposed to pornography for the first time between the age of 10 and 13, while the majority of females (54.1%) report first exposure between 14 and 17. For males, exposure to pornography between the ages of 10 and 13 was significantly associated with lower levels of genital esteem, reduced genital appearance satisfaction and greater genital embarrassment, as compared to those first exposed at older ages. In contrast, males who reported first time exposure to pornography over the age of 18 were significantly more likely to report high levels of genital esteem. Among females age of first exposure to pornography was not significantly associated with any of the genital esteem, appearance or embarrassment measures. Conclusions: The results indicate that first exposure to pornography under the age of thirteen is associated with negative genital self-image, for young adult males. The importance of pornography literacy education for young males is thus highlighted.

Abstract:

Having an attractive appearance is now not only for women but also for men. Taking care of the body, especially the face has become a new culture that has shifted the masculine side towards metrosexuals. To get an attractive appearance, a series of treatments are needed, one of which is skincare which requires much money. Such self-care behaviour, of course, also encourages men's consumerism. This study determines how digital marketing communication for skincare products builds men's consumptive behaviour on Instagram. Content analysis of Instagram posts related to the consumption of skincare products collected through the hashtag #scarlettlakilaki was used in this study. The results obtained that the element of dependence is 0.94 or 94 per cent. Then the result is considered credible because it exceeds the minimum threshold. This research concludes that Scarlett transforms masculinity into metrosexuality, blur a gender bias, and builds on the idea that the body of men who use Scarlett is depicted with a pure white body resembling a women's body.

Abstract:

Poultry meat is a source of many important nutrients, micro- and macro-elements, and biologically active substances. During meat storage, many physicochemical changes take place, also affecting the content of biologically active substances, including biogenic amines.They are formed as a result of three processes: decarboxylation of amino acids by microorganisms, reductive amination, and transamination of aldehydes and ketones, and as a result of activity of body tissues. Excessive consumption of biogenic amines shows toxic properties. The increasing consumption of poultry meat and the lack of established limits for biogenic amine content is a major challenge for scientists, producers, and consumer organisations, which have not yet established limits for biogenic amine content in meat (including poultry meat). Analyses of biogenic amine content in meat account for less than 10% of scientific papers, which raises the scope of the problem of limiting biogenic amines in meat. Among the methods of amine reduction are methods of destroying or reducing microorganisms’ high hydrostatic pressure (HHP), ozonisation, radiation, or the use of essential oils.

Abstract:

This study attempted to investigate the influence of the perception of appearance management on hairstyle selection intention against old women aged 50 or older in consideration of their physical and social capabilities and needs in the aging society. First, for this, a self-reported questionnaire survey was performed against women in their 50s in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon, and a total of 640 copies were used for analysis. Second, selection intention was categorized into 5 factors: pursuit of trend, appearance orientation, dependent appearance management, daily appearance management, aggressive appearance management. In terms of validity and reliability of selection intention, universality and popularity were derived. Third, concerning reliability testing, Cronbach's was 0.822 in both factors, confirming no problem in reliability. As the pursuit of trend increased, universality was lower while popularity was higher. In relationships between daily appearance management and selection intention, the pursuit of trend was the highest, followed by dependent appearance management in terms of positive influence. Therefore, it is anticipated that service improvements and differentiation strategies in beauty industry would enhance profits and increase sales with efficient marketing strategies by suggesting consumption direction for seniors.

Abstract:

The paper presents the results of research on organoleptic parameters, glycemic index, nutritional value and safety indicators of organic syrups. Organoleptic characteristics of syrups (taste, aroma, color and appearance) were studied by sensory analysis. Determination of glycemic index and nutritional value was carried out on the basis of analytical data by comparison. To study the content of toxic elements in the products used conventional methods: lead and cadmium were determined by the atomic absorption method, mercury – by the method of flameless atomic absorption. The objects of the study are: organic maple syrup “Maribel” 330 g (250 ml), country of production – Canada; organic agave syrup “Bio syrop z agawy” (650 g) – country of manufacture Mexico; Horizon organic rice syrup (450 g) is a country of production in the Netherlands. It was found that all the studied syrups have a pleasant taste and aroma, and the addition of organic syrups to the recipes of flour products can improve their organoleptic properties, giving an exotic flavor. Rice syrup has the highest glycemic index among the studied syrups (98). The lowest glycemic index is characterized by agave syrup (17), but such a low glycemic index is characteristic only of agave syrups of Mexican origin. The energy value of sugar and rice syrup is the same and is 396 kcal. At the same time, the lowest caloric content is a sample of maple syrup – 262 kcal. The same syrup contains the lowest amount of carbohydrates – 67.5 g / 100 g. Agave syrup contains slightly more carbohydrates – 76.37 g / 100 g. The fat content in syrups is very limited and contains 0.20 g / 100 g in maple and rice syrups, and agave syrup – 0.45 g / 100 g. The protein content of maple syrup is absent, and agave syrup and rice syrup are almost invisible – 0.09 g / 100 g and 0.60 g / 100 g, respectively. In terms of the content of heavy metal salts in syrups, the products can be considered safe. The lead content is the lowest in maple syrup (0.03 mg / kg), and the cadmium and mercury content is the same in all test samples and is 0.01 mg / kg and 0.001 mg / kg for each sample, respectively. Further research is planned to create recipes based on organic syrups and analysis of nutritional and biological value based on them.

Abstract:

Introduction: Psychotic disorders are a mental illness that affect 3% of the world’s population. The external (cannabis) and internal vulnerability factors (polymorphisms of the AKT1 gene, the COMT gene and the DAT1 gene) acquire special relevance in the appearance of psychosis; this is known as the vulnerability–stress model. Objective: To analyze the scientific evidence that reflects the relationship between the polymorphism of the AKT1 gene and the consumption of cannabis in the appearance of psychosis. Material and Methods: The bibliographic search was made using databases such as Scopus, WoS, Cochrane Library, TRIP Database, PubPsych and PubMed. The criteria of the “MeSH” terminology and the inclusion and exclusion criteria were followed, obtaining a total of 22 articles that comprises this narrative review. Results: The presence of genetic variation in the locus rs2494732 of the AKT1 gene in a cannabis user raises the risk of the appearance of psychosis, especially if homozygous with the C allele. Likewise, consumption entails a slowdown in the functionality of the AKT1 gene, releasing a greater amount of dopamine in the striatum through the involvement of indirect mechanisms. Similarly, the COMT gene and the interaction of the AKT1 gene with the DAT1 gene raise the risk of developing psychotic disorder. Conclusion: The genetic polymorphism rs2494732 of AKT1 is the main factor responsible for the appearance of psychosis, although polymorphisms of the COMT and DAT1 gene are also implicated. Regarding the AKT1 gene, subjects with two copies of the C allele have a higher risk of developing psychosis compared to subjects with two copies of the T allele. It should also be noted that the muscarinic receptors rs115455482 and rx74722579 are related to a greater vulnerability to psychosis and the development of psychotic disorders.
