Abstract:

The compensatory beliefs model proposes that when faced with temptation, people form intentions to behaviourally compensate for indulgence. Compensatory beliefs (CBs) are convictions that the consequences of engaging in an indulgent behaviour (eating cake) can be neutralized by the effects of another behaviour (skipping dinner). Compensatory intentions (CIs) are plans to compensate for indulgence that are based on the belief that compensatory behaviours can balance-out the effects of indulgence. I propose that compensatory thinking not only exists in dieters but that forming compensatory inten

Abstract:

A population of 79 babirusa distributed over 19 zoos in Europe and the United States were the subject of a study of the foraging behaviour, food selection, and digestion of the babirusa (Babyrousa babyrussa). Stomachs of six adult babirusa and one twelve month old animal were collected from zoological gardens. Gross anatomical and microscopic examination revealed the large size of the stomach (approximately 3000cm2 for adults) and the very large area covered by its cardiac glands (more than 70% of the total stomach's mucosal surface area compared to about 33% in the domestic pig (Sus scrofa)).

Abstract:

This qualitative study aims to identify challenges experienced amongst consumers in Stockholm when transitioning to a vegan diet. Five consumers between the ages of 24-27 have during a period of one month assumed the task of transitioning to a vegan diet. The results were analyzed through the lens of The Multidisciplinary Model of the main factors affecting consumer behaviour in the food domain and as well as the Cognitive dissonance theory to enable a deeper analysis. The study shows that information, supply and psychological influences are three main areas in which barriers are present. Lack

Abstract:

The prevalence of obesity has reached epidemic proportions, with more than 60% of Australians categorised as overweight or obese. The development of obesity can be simplified as perturbations to energy balance. However, the regulation of energy balance has various inputs at multiple levels of the system. Contributors to energy balance include the nutrient environment, host processes and the gut microbiome. Each of these components operates at different spatio-temporal scales with different regulatory points that are not in sync. As a result, interventions which focus on the emergent properties

Abstract:

A review of the literature on diet and hyperactivity [more correctly termed Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - ADHD] showed that dietary factors do not cause hyperactivity, so additives do not need to be banned. But they do effect some children. The suspect diet substances being investigated have broadened, as have the problems diet affects. There is individual variation in presenting problem profiles, in symptoms that change, in amount of change, and in suspect chemicals not tolerated. Relevant issues are the dose of suspect chemicals and the age and susceptibility of each child.

The prevalence of obesity is growing worldwide partly due to an increase in consumption of diets high in fat. Obesity is known as a risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) later in life. Both obesity and AD are associated with cognitive deficits and experimental high-fat diets can impair memory in cognitively normal rodents but also worsen memory deficits in AD mouse models. What is still unclear is the molecular mechanisms behind the detrimental effects of a high-fat diet on memory and if sex can influence its effect.

Similarly, ELS has been associated with the same cardiometabolic risk factors, although a causal relationship between ELS and these risk factors remains unclear.

Abstract:

Práticas de manejo afetam a estrutura do dossel forrageiro, podendo afetar os padrões de deslocamento, procura e ingestão de forragem pelos animais em pastejo. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de estratégias de pastejo rotacionado sobre o comportamento animal e padrões de ingestão de forragem de bovinos de corte em pastos de Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu. O experimento foi realizado no Departamento de Zootecnia da USP/ESALQ, de novembro de 2005 a abril de 2006. Os tratamentos experimentais compreenderam a combinação entre duas intensidades (altura pós-pastejo de 10 e 15 cm) e

Abstract:

The impacts of disturbance were explored for red deer (<i>Cervus elaphus</i>) in the Scottish Highlands, by studying the distribution, behaviour and diet composition of deer in areas that were disturbed or less disturbed by human recreation, in different habitat types (grassland, heather moorland and woodland) and at different times of year. The human-caused predation risk hypothesis states that there are similarities between the responses elicited by wild animals towards human recreational disturbance and predation. This hypothesis was tested by comparing behaviour during the recreation sea

Abstract:

As superorganisms, eusocial insect colonies possess both individual and social strategies for epidemic control. Both the physiological immune system within individuals and an array of social behaviours, such as self–quarantine, collectively comprise the colony’s immunocompetence. Diet is a modulator of immunocompetence in insects and furthermore insects can self-medicate by ingesting nutrients that promote immunocompetence. However, how diet impacts multiple strategies of epidemic control both physiologically and through social behavioural processes, within a superorganism is not known. Theref

Abstract:

Abstract The prevalence of working-aged weight losers is high because of high prevalence of obesity. Unfortunately, the loss of weight is often temporary. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of intensive counselling on maintained weight loss and eating behaviour (cognitive restraint, emotional eating, uncontrolled eating and binge eating). Additionally, the associations of eating behaviour with maintained weight loss, discontinuation, dietary intake and anhedonia were studied. Eighty-two overweight or obese subjects (body mass index >27) participated in either intens

Abstract:

Diet contributes to a large proportion of preventable deaths and diseases. Adolescence is a period during which diet may particularly evolve, and therefore represents an opportunity to develop long-lasting healthy dietary behaviours. However, dietary habits are particularly subject to social variations, which may lead to social inequalities in health. Tackling them requires public health actions based on a comprehensive approach of social determinants at this life stage. This doctoral thesis aimed to examine socioeconomic and sociocultural disparities in dietary habits among adolescents, using
