Evaluating alignment of UK commercial baby food products with the WHO nutrient and promotion profile model

PurposeThe first 1000 days of life are critical for long-term health outcomes, and there is increasing concern about the suitability of commercial food products for infants, toddlers, and children. This study evaluates the compliance of UK commercial baby food products with WHO Nutrient and Promotion Profile Model (NPPM) guidelines.MethodsBetween February and April 2023, data on 469 baby food products marketed for infants and children under 36 months were collected from the online platforms of four major UK supermarkets. Nutritional composition and labelling information were assessed using the NPPM criteria. Quantitative analyses were performed using IBM SPSS, presenting data as means with 95% confidence intervals.ResultsWhile 75% of products met the minimum energy content criteria, compliance with total sugar content and protein requirements was 59% and 94%, respectively. Overall, only 45% of products adhered to NPPM nutritional standards. Promotional assessments revealed that no products met the requirements for appropriate nutrient, health, or marketing claims. Furthermore, only 5% of products included adequate statements in support of breastfeeding.ConclusionThis study highlights the need for stricter nutritional and promotional standards in the UK baby food industry to foster healthier early dietary habits. Regulatory measures are essential to align commercial baby food products with WHO recommendations, reducing inappropriate claims and improving nutritional quality.

FORMATION OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AS A CURRENT DIRECTION OF SOCIAL AND PEDAGOGICAL WORK WITH ADOLESCENTS

The Healthy lifestyle`s formation is an actual problem of pedagogy, psychology and social work. The issues of saving, restoring health, and resistance to stress have become extremely relevant. The results of research of adolescents’ awareness of a healthy lifestyle are represented in the article.
 Teens are well informed about the basic concepts of a healthy lifestyle as detailed analysis showed. The process of forming responsibility for own life and health, conscious decision-making and overcoming cultural stereotypes about a healthy way of life requires special attention. The issues of saving, restoring health, and resistance to stress have become extremely relevant. Therefore, the analysis of the awareness of teens in matters of a healthy lifestyle has become necessary for the formation of a further algorithm for saving and restoring health.
 The analysis of research determined alcohol is an acceptable attribute that does not seriously interfere with a healthy lifestyle. This cognitive malformation is correlated with the promotion of alcohol and cigarettes on TV and web, also these harmful elements are acceptable in national traditions. The correlation between family`s healthy lifestyle and resistance to stress is noticed. The families which respect a healthy lifestyle are more resistible to stresses during a pandemic time. It is manifested in more adequate statements and constructive predictions about the use of trends in health lifestyle`s technologies. The correlation between family`s healthy lifestyle and resistance to stress is noticed. The families which respect a healthy lifestyle are more resistible to stresses during a pandemic time. It is manifested in more adequate statements and constructive predictions about the use of trends in health lifestyle`s technologies
 The most part of teens is trying to follow the healthy lifestyle`s rules and avoid harmful substances. Teenagers are interested in maintaining and restoring physical and psychological health during a pandemic.
 The gender aspect, processes of conscious behavior acceptance of consequences and motivation for the formation of responsible behavior require additional researches.

Importance of Introduction of the Tensor Approach into Standard Mechanics of Materials Course

In the universities, research activity of the students should be a part of an educational process. The achievement of this educational goal is directly related not only to the clear understanding of leading engineering disciplines but also to the development of professional skills of transforming real-world engineering problems into adequate mathematical statements with further analyses. Mechanics of Materials is a traditional core discipline for most engineering studies, and each year it gains additional significance due to its applications in biology, medicine and geophysics. To this end, the paper shows the importance of introduction of the tensor approach into standard Mechanics of Materials course. It is outlined that, for research-oriented engineering students, the tensor approach forms most adequate bases for further career.

Theology and Rationality: Some Conceptual and Epistemic Remarks

Abstract: The paper comprises three major arguments and, correspondingly, three main objectives. First, it suggests that we conceive of rationality as a virtue-concept designating, among other things, an entity located halfway between virtues that admit being reformulated as goods and duties (like reliability) and those lacking this capacity (like wisdom, being a good and a virtue, but not a duty). Second, the notion of “epistemic success” is introduced in order to account for possible standards of rationality—if only in the restricted sense of a sufficient condition of rationality, as opposed to a necessary one. Finally, religious beliefs as well as their self-reflective expression as theological statements) are shown, at least in principal, to be epistemically successful and thus rationally justified in the pragmatical sense described: if, whenever and to the extent that they express and are rooted in certain experiences to be spelled out as an “acute spiritual crisis.” Moreover, such justification turns out to have a special bearing on how dogmatically adequate statements can be generated.

Now You See It. Now You Don't: Fair Balance and Adequate Provision in Advertisements for Drugs Before and After the Switch From Prescription to Over-the-Counter

The objective of this study was to measure differences in fair balance (benefit and risk statements) and adequate provision (toll-free numbers, Internet URLs, print ad references, and medical professional references) in advertising content for drugs that have switched from prescription to over-the-counter (OTC). The Vanderbilt TV News Archive was used to select products to study, to measure the frequency and placement of ads for those products, and to view advertising content for those products. Unique advertisements (n = 108) for loratadine (Claritin), citirizine (Zyrtec), and omeprazole (Prilosec) were analyzed for the presence of adequate provision statements and for the frequency of benefit, risk, and other statements. OTC ads were shorter than prescription ads by 10.6 seconds but contained the same total number of statements. Most prescription ads (n RX = 31) contained toll-free numbers (97%), Internet URLs (94%), medical professional references (100%) and print ad references (68%). Few OTC ads (n OTC = 77) contained adequate provision statements: 4% contained toll-free numbers and 10% contained Internet URLs. Prescription ads had similar numbers of benefits (1.5) and risks (1.8) per 30 seconds of ad time, and OTC ads had more benefits (6.6) than risks (1.2) per 30 seconds of ad time. Prescription drug ads contained risk statements that listed specific side effects and explicit harms from taking the product, but OTC ads contained nonspecific risk information and statements that implied risk rather than directly identifying risk. Differences in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulation of advertising affected the balance of risk and benefit information that appeared and the specificity of risk information available.

Characterisation of a polymer using biaxial tension tests. Part I: Hyperelasticity

The present contribution deals with the experimental characterisation of silicone specimens and the adaptation of well-known standard material models of the finite hyperelasticity to the experimental data. Therefore, uniaxial tension tests as well as biaxial tension tests are performed. The focus of the work lies on the detailed description of a new experimental set-up and the adaptation of the material model. For this purpose, the performance of models fitted to experimental data of uniaxial tests is compared to the adjustment of the models to data from biaxial tests. The experimentalist as well as the modeller are sensitised that the adaptation of material models to experimental data won from the uniaxial tension experiments generally does not allow adequate statements with respect to the real material behaviour under multiaxial loading. The work closes with a summary and an outlook on forthcoming investigations.

Quantitative study of nonstationary interference wave fields in layered homogeneous elastic media with plane-parallel interfaces. I. Statements of the problems and efficient methods for their solution

A new efficient approach to quantitatively studying nonstationary interference wave fields in layered homogeneous isotopic elastic media with plane-parallel interfaces is presented. Adequate statements of problems and efficient methods for their solution are discussed. Quantitative evaluations of fields in different regions of a medium are based on extensive application of contour integration methods, on modern numerical methods for studying the roots of the dispersion equations of problems, and on methods for constructing appropriate stationary contours of phase functions and for computing spectral functions of fields by methods of numerical integration along such contours. Bibligraphy: 10 titles.

Use Of Simulation Data Sets For Assessing Interlaboratory Pattern Recognition Accuracy

Interlaboratory comparisons using common (reference) materials of known composition are an established means for assessing overall measurement precision and accuracy. Intercomparisons based on common data sets are equally important and revealing when one is dealing with complex chemical patterns or spectra requiring significant numerical modeling and manipulation for component identification and quantification. Two case studies of chemo-metric using simulation test data (STD) are presented, one comprising STD vectors as applied to nuclear spectrometry and the other STD data matrices as applied to aerosol source apportionment. Generic information gained from these two exercises included (a) the requisites for a successful STD intercomparison (including the nature and preparation of the simulation test patterns); (b) surprising degrees of bias and imprecision associated with the data evaluation process per se; (c) the need for increased attention to implicit assumptions and adequate statements of uncertainty; and (d) the importance of STD beyond the intercomparison, i.e., their value as a research tool for improv-ing the state of the pattern recognition art.

The Limitations of Models and Measurements as Revealed Through Chemometric Intercomparison.

Interlaboratory Comparisons using common (reference) materials of known composition are an established means for assessing overall measurement precision and accuracy. Intercomparisons based on common data sets are equally important and informative, when one is dealing with complex chemical patterns or spectra requiring significant numerical modeling and manipulation for component identification and quantification. Two case studies of "Chemometric Intercomparison" using Simulation Test Data (STD) are presented, the one comprising STD vectors as applied to nuclear spectrometry, and the other, STD data matrices as applied to aerosol source apportionment. Generic information gained from these two exercises includes: a) the requisites for a successful STD intercomparison (including the nature and preparation of the simulation test patterns); b) surprising degrees of bias and imprecision associated with the data evaluation process, per se; c) the need for increased attention to implicit assumptions and adequate statements of uncertainty; and d) the importance of STD beyond the Intercomparison-i.e., their value as a chemometric research tool. Open research questions developed from the STD exercises are highlighted, especially the opportunity to explore "Scientific Intuition" which is essential for the solution of the underdetermined, multicollinear inverse problems that characterize modern Analytical Chemistry.
