Placement Of Items Research Articles

Analisis Penyimpanan Produk Menggunakan Metode Shared Storage (Studi Kasus di PT. X)

PT. X is a company engaged in shipping services. This company has a spare part storage warehouse that is not yet effective and efficient. This can be seen from the placement of items that are not suitable and require a long time in the process of picking up goods. This study aims to redesign the layout of the storage warehouse using the shared storage method. Shared storage is a method of arranging a storage area based on the warehouse floor area by placing the items that are sent immediately closest to the door, and so on. This method uses the FIFO (first in first out) principle so that the outbound process is easier and takes less time to search for goods. Based on the processing using the shared storage method, a proposal is made to improve the layout by adding 2 storage racks arranged by product type. The previous pallet 1210 became 3234. Forging of storage racks takes into account the size of the demand, so that products with more demand are placed in the area close to the door. With this, there are no more products stored in any area, and product collection will be easier and faster

Automatic Power-up Items Placement on Shooter Game using Convolutional Neural Network

- A shooter game is a popular game genre with various components. To make a shooter game more attractive, some power-ups items can support players to achieve their goals. Power-ups items provide more power to players, some of which include ammo, extra lives, and invulnerability. The location of power-ups items should be in a special place so that it neither too easy to find nor too difficult to find. Item placement could be done manually by a human or a technical artist. It will need a relatively long time and high cost. In this paper, we try to mimic technical artist vision when placing an item. Visual images have been collected by scanning spatially the forest terrain by using a virtual camera on top. Each image data comply with the item placement rules according to the Tomb Raider and Uncharted 4 games. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used to find out which images can be occupied by power-up items or not. From several experimental scenarios, the use of the Global Average Pooling layer is proven to produce a model that is not overfitting. The best CNN models are developed and got an accuracy of 90.5% with an architecture that includes the Global Average Pooling layer. That model is applied to the new forest terrain so that power-up items can automatically be placed in an appropriate location.

Website Optimization Design to Cut Stock Problems in 1 and 2 Dimensions with Genetic Algorithms

Many industries produce waste that cannot be reused, especially in the process of cutting raw materials. The use of raw materials that are not optimal indicates that the pattern of item placement on raw materials produces waste which cannot be used for other needs. This problem is known as cutting stock problem. This study aims to reduce the waste that arises when cutting raw material sheets into small pieces needed in the industry by developing a website as a tool in completing the placement of cutting patterns on raw materials. The developed website describes the results of optimal placement patterns in the form of images for 1 and 2 dimensions with the genetic algorithm method as an optimization algorithm using rectangle packing sequence in codification, cornerset modification algorithm on decoding, parameterized uniform crossover on crossover, roulette wheel on selection, and random generated mutations. Website development is made with hypertext markup language to display various information needed, cascading style sheets to arrange components in structured and uniform websites, and javascript to create genetic algorithm logic. This research resulted in the placement of cutting patterns on sheets of raw material on the canvas by labeling the names of each item.

Challenges Associated With the Assessment of Exposure to Ageism

Ageism is defined as stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination towards people of any age. Ageism can be both positive and negative. In order for an individual to report exposure to ageism, several steps should occur: the individual has to notice the events, interpret them as ageist and report exposure to ageism. Any of these steps may go awry along the way. This presentation uses data from the European Social Survey and the Health and Retirement Study to illustrate the importance of item placement, item phrasing and respondent’s mood in responding to items concerning perceived exposure to ageism. A strong priming effect demonstrated a gap between reports of perceived exposure within the ageism module (33.7%) vs. reports within the neutral context (1.1%). A cross-lagged analyses revealed that one’s depressive symptoms are predictive of perceived exposure to ageism and not the other way around. Findings illustrate the importance of the context effect.

Evaluation of the Perceived Persuasiveness Questionnaire: User-Centered Card-Sort Study.

BackgroundeHealth technologies aim to change users’ health-related behavior. Persuasive design and system features can make an eHealth technology more motivating, engaging, or supportive to its users. The Persuasive Systems Design (PSD) model incorporates software features that have the possibility to increase the persuasiveness of technologies. However, the effects of specific PSD software features on the effectiveness of an intervention are still largely unknown. The Perceived Persuasiveness Questionnaire (PPQ) was developed to gain insight into the working mechanisms of persuasive technologies. Although the PPQ seems to be a suitable method for measuring subjective persuasiveness, it needs to be further evaluated to determine how suitable it is for measuring perceived persuasiveness among the public.ObjectiveThis study aims to evaluate the face and construct validity of the PPQ, identify points of improvement, and provide suggestions for further development of the PPQ.MethodsA web-based closed-ended card-sort study was performed wherein participants grouped existing PPQ items under existing PPQ constructs. Participants were invited via a Massive Open Online Course on eHealth. A total of 398 people (average age 44.15 years, SD 15.17; 251/398, 63.1% women) completed the card sort. Face validity was evaluated by determining the item-level agreement of the original PPQ constructs. Construct validity was evaluated by determining the construct in which each item was placed most often, regardless of the original placement and how often 2 items were (regardless of the constructs) paired together and what interitem correlations were according to a cluster analysis.ResultsFour PPQ constructs obtained relatively high face validity scores: perceived social support, use continuance, perceived credibility, and perceived effort. Item-level agreement on the other constructs was relatively low. Item-level agreement for almost all constructs, except perceived effort and perceived effectiveness, would increase if items would be grouped differently. Finally, a cluster analysis of the PPQ indicated that the strengths of the newly identified 9 clusters varied strongly. Unchanged strong clusters were only found for perceived credibility support, perceived social support, and use continuance. The placement of the other items was much more spread out over the other constructs, suggesting an overlap between them.ConclusionsThe findings of this study provide a solid starting point toward a redesigned PPQ that is a true asset to the field of persuasiveness research. To achieve this, we advocate that the redesigned PPQ should adhere more closely to what persuasiveness is according to the PSD model and to the mental models of potential end users of technology. The revised PPQ should, for example, enquire if the user thinks anything is done to provide task support but not how this is done exactly.

Abstract A31: Online panel sample recruitment and characteristics: An analysis of those who initiate versus complete an Internet survey

Abstract Background: Using online research panels can be a quick and efficient means of sample acquisition and data collection. Despite this strength, there is often a lack of transparency in the recruitment of panelists and insufficient consideration of how samples derived from online panels compare to relevant populations and other research samples. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to inform researchers on what to expect when administering an online survey and recruiting participants using quota sampling through a commercial research panel. The sociodemographic characteristics of those who completed the survey were compared to those who initiated but did not complete it. The survey exit point of noncompleters was also examined. Methods: A total of N=419 eligible respondents completed an online survey administered via Qualtrics. In addition to study-specific eligibility criteria, sampling quotas were implemented for race and income. Results: The majority of panelists who provided consent and were eligible for participation went on to complete the survey. The sociodemographic profiles were similar between survey completers and eligible respondents who initiated but did not complete the survey. Survey completers were relatively similar to the U.S. population 50+ years old. Subtle differences were noted in marital status, income, education, and employment status, but were likely related to the derived sample being more racially and economically diverse. Other implications for the use of quota sampling, the placement of key items, and survey length were discussed. Conclusion: Quota sampling from an online panel can effectively produce a targeted and diverse sample with reasonable internal and external validity. Citation Format: Carrie A. Miller, Maria Thomson.

An improved priority heuristic for the fixed guillotine rectangular packing problem

An improved priority heuristic (IPH) is presented for the guillotine rectangular packing problem with a fixed orientation constraint. This algorithm can continuously divide the remaining space into blocks and recursively layout the entire space by filling each current block. IPH inherits the placement method of PH and adopts an improved space partitioning rule. The partitioning rule comprehensively considers the effects of the newly generated block on subsequent item placement. Thus, the remaining space can be filled as much as possible from a probability perspective. Given the introduction and utilization of different solving parameters, the worst-case time complexity is O(40n 2). Computational results on benchmark datasets show that IPH outperforms existing heuristics on average. For large-scale instances, several perfect layouts can be obtained for the first time.

P107 Grocery Goes Online: Food Marketing in the Digital Age

<h3>Background</h3> USDA allows SNAP participants in select states to purchase groceries online. As grocery sales migrate online, marketing may also migrate, influencing shoppers' purchases. <h3>Objective</h3> To identify marketing strategies that online retailers employ, and assess the healthfulness of groceries they promote. <h3>Study Design, Setting, Partiicpants</h3> We assessed the promotional, pricing, placement, and delivery practices of 6 retailers in the Washington, DC area between February and April 2019. Promotions: On retailers' home and 5 search results pages, we recorded promotions for food and beverages. One month later, we recorded emails with food and beverage promotions. After ordering, we also noted targeted promotions on the homepage linked to previous purchases or address. For each, we saved a screenshot, noting whether the product was produce, a sugar-sweetened beverage, or a salty/sweet snack. Price: We collected base and price promotion data for unhealthy and healthy market baskets using USDA's Foods Typically Purchased by SNAP Households. Placement: From the same USDA resource, we developed a list of staple items with healthy and less-healthy versions. We recorded top search results for these items, saving a screenshot to later analyze the placement of healthy items. Delivery: We adapted the SNAP-Ed Communities of Excellence in Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity Prevention (CX3) Toolkit to assess quality of produce delivered. <h3>Measurable Outcome/Analysis</h3> Promotions: We assessed nutritional quality of homepage, search page, email, and targeted promotions using the National Alliance for Nutrition and Activity Vending Standards. Price: We calculated the percentage discount for healthy products and compared to the discount for unhealthy products. Placement: We assessed the nutritional quality of products featured prominently in search results. Delivery: We used the CX3 Toolkit to assess produce firmness, freshness, and color. <h3>Results</h3> A majority of homepage, search page, email, and targeted promotions were unhealthy. Price data is inconclusive. A majority of items featured prominently in search results for staple foods were unhealthy. Produce quality was typically good. <h3>Conclusions</h3> Retailers should promote, competitively price, and prominently place healthy items online.

How to manage the practice dispensary

Dispensary management is made of different elements: the stock (what you stock, the amount you stock, rotation of old and new); the personnel within the dispensary; and the protocols that they are required to adhere to. Some of these elements you will be in control of and some will be set out by the practice. Monitoring of stock usage helps to set overall quantities of what is kept in. Monitoring of any dispensing errors can help identify how to improve protocols, placement of items on shelves and look at the type and quantity of items that are held in stock.

THE DIGITIZATION OF THE DEPOSITORY OF SCIENTIFIC AND EXPOSITIONAL FUNDS OF THE HELMINTHOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF THE VNIIP – FSC VIEV: MODERN BASIS FOR OPTIMIZATION OF THE ERGONOMICS OF WORK WITH A PREPARATION COLLECTION

During more than a century of existence of the Skryabinsky Helminthological Museum, now The Helminthological Museum of VNIIP – FSC VIEV, there was a constant replenishment of its funds. Currently, scientific information on 24,129 helminthological preparations is deposited and systematized in the Museum's computer database. All types of work carried out with the helminthological preparation collection are related to the search for specific zoological species of parasites, inventory numbers of objects, and identification of their direct physical location in the depository. There is a need to record information about the date and time of removal of objects from the collection, their return to the place of withdrawal, and possible movements through the departments of the depository. In order to optimize the ergonomics of work with the preparation collection, it is for the first time that a system of structuring has been developed and the depository of scientific and expositional funds of the Helminthological Museum of the VNIIP – FSC VIEV has been digitized. In the department "preparations of the wet helminth collection", 48 sectors are structurally allocated and designated, where 576 locations were indexed. In the department of "microslides" (histological and total microslides), 800 locations were digitized. In the department "types of helminth species" – 40 locations. In the expositional department of the Helminthological Museum, 125 locations were indexed in 38 selected sectors. Each of the 1541 locations was assigned a digital index. The unique inventory number of each storage item was linked to a specific location in the depository of the Museum collection through digital indexing. Information on the actual placement of items in the collection was entered into the database of the currently operated version of the "Computer Handbook of preparations of the Helminthological Museum of the VNIIP – FSC VIEV. The principle of "on–line" access to the actual coordinates of the physical location of any deposited item located in the computer registry of the collection is implemented. Computerized control over the dynamics of movement of any inventory item over the locations of the Museum depository has been introduced. Digitization of the structure of the depository of the scientific and expositional funds significantly optimized the ergonomics of the Museum staff's work with the collection of helminthological preparations.

PENERAPAN DATA MINING UNTUK ANALISIS MARKET BASKET DENGAN ALGORITMA FP-GROWTH PADA PD PASAR TOHAGA

Sales data in 3 different shops (shop, Shop Maker Fernando and Son) at Tohaga Market in the form of PD book transactions are only seen in the absence of follow-up to determine the decision on who will come. Party owner only records the transactions of products sold and only see income per month. But with that data should be utilized to strategize on sales to come. By using the method of Frequent Pattern Growth Algorithm, the store can take decisions which require goods inventory more compared to other goods, and the placement of the goods in accordance with the relationship between the goods that are usually purchased a consumer can also be determined based on a Minimum Support and Minimum Confidence. Based on Market Basket Analysis obtained from the calculation of the Association by using the method of Frequent Pattern Growth Algorithm, then search for the value of the support and confidence to use Association Rules, Rules that are generated will be test by using Software RapidMiner. Then the placement of goods and inventory items in 3 different stores can be controlled with either the service so that the consumer will be increased, which in turn can increase the sales turnover. In this study Support is determined using threshold 40% and 83% Confidence. Having regard to the relationship of support and confidence the store owner can provide and put the items to be sold

Effectiveness of Nutrition Interventions in Vending Machines to Encourage the Purchase and Consumption of Healthier Food and Drinks in the University Setting: A Systematic Review.

University food environments typically offer an abundance of unhealthy foods, including through vending machines. This review evaluated the effectiveness of nutrition interventions in vending machines in the university setting. Ten databases were searched for experimental studies published up to July 2019, evaluating nutrition interventions that aimed to encourage the purchase or consumption of healthier foods and drinks in vending machines in the university setting. In total, 401 articles were identified, and 13 studies were included. Studies were pre-post test (n = 7, 54%), randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (n = 5, 38%), and non-randomized controlled trial (n = 1, 8%). Most studies were from the USA (n = 10, 77%) and were published between 2014 and 2018 (n = 9, 69%). Eight interventions (62%) reported positive change in outcomes, including increased number/proportion of sales or revenue from healthier items (n = 6), improved adherence to guidelines for the ratio of healthy/unhealthy products available (n = 1), and improved consumer perception of items available (n = 1). Effective interventions involved the promotion, reduced pricing, increased availability, and/or optimized product placement of healthier items within vending machines. Strategies to improve the nutritional quality of food and drinks in vending machines are warranted. This may be achieved by making healthier options more available and promoting them; however, more robust intervention studies are needed to determine effectiveness.

ANALISIS POLA PENJUALAN DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN ALGORITMA APRIORI PADA KOPERASI KARYAWAN YAYASAN ANAKKU

The Anakku Foundation Cooperative is a multi-business cooperative consisting of shop businesses, savings and loans, and student shuttle services. Every sale of stuff services will be inputted data directly to each business unit. The Anakku Foundation Cooperative still has problems, including store transactions that cannot yet answer what items are often sold, when stock items are still difficult to determine the items that are still available or almost running out. Data mining techniques have been mostly used to overcome existing problems, one of which is the application of the Apriori algorithm to obtain information about the associations between products from a transaction database. Transaction data on school equipment sales at Cooperative Employees of Anakku Foundation can be reprocessed using Data mining applications so as to produce strong association rules between itemset sales of school supplies so that they can provide recommendations for item alignment and simplify the arrangement or strong item placement related to interdependence. The results are found that the highest value of support and confidence is if buying MUSLIM L1.5P1, so it would buy AL-IZHAR II LOGO with a value of 14.5% support and 79.5% confidence

A Controlled Stability Genetic Algorithm With the New BLF2G Guillotine Placement Heuristic for the Orthogonal Cutting-Stock Problem

The orthogonal cutting-stock problem tries to place a given set of items in a minimum number of identically sized bins. Combining the new BLF2G heuristic with an advanced genetic algorithm can help solve this problem with the guillotine constraint. According to the item order, the BLF2G heuristic creates a direct placement of items in bins to give a cutting format. The genetic algorithm exploits the search space to find the supposed optimal item order. Other methods try to guide the evolutionary process. A new enhancement guides the evolutionary process, enriching the population via qualified individuals, without disturbing the genetic phase. The evolution of the GA process is controlled, and when no improvements after some number of iterations are observed, a qualified individual is injected to the population to avoid premature convergence to a local optimum. A generated set of order-based individuals enriches the evolutionary process with qualified chromosomes. The proposed method is compared with other heuristics and metaheuristics found in the literature on existing data sets.

P193 Using Behavioral Design to Increase Healthier Food Choices: Food Service Staff's Views on Feasibility

Background Increasing obesity rates among US active duty military is considered a security threat to readiness, with $3.3 billion per year spent in attributable health care costs among active duty personnel and military families. Several Army food service venues have implemented behavioral design strategies to shift patrons’ food choices towards healthier options. However, little is known about implementation feasibility and sustainability. Objective To assess food service staff's perceptions on the feasibility of a behavioral design intervention promoting healthier food choices in a US Army hospital cafeteria. Study Design, Settings, Participants From August to December 2017, an Army hospital cafeteria implemented ten behavioral design strategies, including color-coded labeling, prominent placement of healthier items, provision of fruit baskets, and daily “performance” plates. Nine in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with staff post-intervention. Measurable Outcome/Analysis Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Braun & Clarke's Six Steps of Thematic Analysis was used to identify deductive and emergent themes of intervention feasibility in the transcripts. Results Four a priori, deductive themes on feasibility were identified: acceptability, operability, sustainability, and effectiveness. Five themes emerged from the data: cafeteria ethos, buy-in, unintended consequences, food options, and factors influencing customers’ food decisions. Staff perceived the intervention as operable and slightly effective in improving food choices, but also perceived that the increase in healthier meal choices led to increased food waste and institutional financial loss. Staff expressed a desire for involvement in behavioral design strategy selection and for food production forecasts to reflect anticipated demand fluctuations. Conclusion Public health practitioners should consider diversifying staff representation when developing behavioral design interventions to increase buy-in and to accommodate venue-specific nuances. Funding None.

Process Evaluation Tool Development and Fidelity of Healthy Retail Interventions in American Indian Tribally Owned Convenience Stores: the Tribal Health Resilience in Vulnerable Environments (THRIVE) Study.

ABSTRACTBackgroundThe Tribal Health Resilience in Vulnerable Environments (THRIVE) study aimed to increase healthy food access in 2 rural American Indian communities. The intervention sought to increase fruit and vegetable availability, variety, and convenience through placement, promotion, and pricing of healthy foods and beverages in tribal convenience stores.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to describe the development and implementation of the study process evaluation tool to assess intervention fidelity as part of this cluster-controlled trial.MethodsEight stores (2 intervention and 2 control stores per Nation) participated in the study, implemented from May 2016 to May 2017. A web-based survey tailored to store layouts and intervention components assessed how often intervention items were available, approximate quantity available, and whether placement of healthier food items and promotional materials were implemented as designed. After pilot testing the survey, tribal staff members implemented it to collect process evaluation data in the 8 stores during a period of 9–12 mo, assessing study implementation and potential changes in control stores.ResultsPromotional materials were available ≥75% of the time for most intervention locations. Fruit availability was similar in Nation A and Nation B intervention stores (79–100% compared with 70–100%), whereas fresh vegetable availability was higher in Nation B compared with Nation A (95–96% compared with 55–75%). Both control stores in Nation A and 1 control store in Nation B had moderate fruit and vegetable availability, ranging from 45% to 52%. No control stores in either Nation used intervention promotional materials.ConclusionsProcess evaluation data indicate that the study was implemented with moderate to high fidelity. The development and implementation of the tool can inform future healthy retail interventions that aim to improve rural and tribal food environments.

Serum Lutein is related to Relational Memory Performance.

Dietary carotenoids, plant pigments with anti-oxidant properties, accumulate in neural tissue and are often found in lower concentrations among individuals with obesity. Given previous evidence of negative associations between excess adiposity and memory, it is possible that greater carotenoid status may confer neuroprotective effects among persons with overweight or obesity. This study aimed to elucidate relationships between carotenoids assessed in diet, serum, and the macula (macular pigment optical density (MPOD)) and relational memory among adults who are overweight or obese. Adults aged 25–45 years (N = 94) completed a spatial reconstruction task. Task performance was evaluated for accuracy of item placement during reconstruction relative to the location of the item during the study phase. Dietary carotenoids were assessed using 7-day diet records. Serum carotenoids were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography. Hierarchical linear regression analyses were used to determine the relationship between carotenoids and task performance. Although initial correlations indicated that dietary lutein, beta-carotene, and serum beta-carotene were positively associated with memory performance, these relationships were not sustained following adjustment for age, sex, and BMI. Serum lutein remained positively associated with accuracy in object binding and inversely related to misplacement error after controlling for covariates. Macular carotenoids were not related to memory performance. Findings from this study indicate that among the carotenoids evaluated, lutein may play an important role in hippocampal function among adults who are overweight or obese.

Press Coverage on human rights violations: Case study of “the hindu”

Newspapers are the ultimate tool to conscientise the readers about their rights and construct their slanting towards different human rights violations. In a parliamentary democracy like India, newspapers play the role of the watchdog and gatekeepers. As mediators of contemporary society, news media set the agenda on different issues and influence the public about their rights and responsibilities. The present study is aimed at analysing the newspaper's content by applying frame analysis technique. A sample of 46 newspapers of The Hindu from 01 January to 30 June 2017 pertaining to human rights issues were studied by applying systematic random sampling mechanism. The content analysis indicated pervasiveness of the incidents of human rights violations covered by The Hindu. A few news items portraying positive aspects of human rights were also covered during the period under study. Though, more responsible depiction of human rights issues is required to publish in the newspaper; yet the selected newspaper tried to spread a sense of consciousness in its readers through covering good number of stories related to human rights. The placement of news items, quantum of prominence and proximity level fastened with these stories was thoroughly examined.

Модель використання продакт плейсменту у маркетинговій та фінансовій діяльності підприємств

Ukraine has been experiencing a prolonged increase in exports of lower-end goods. These processes threaten the effect of «dampening growth». Accordingly, the problem of innovative development of enterprises, which focuses on marketing and financial activities promoting the production and export of high-quality goods becomes more urgent. The product placement is a tool that will stimulate the promotion of goods and services on the domestic and world markets. It is determined that this is not an entirely new strategy; it dates back to the years when the very first movies were created. The purpose of the work is to study the peculiarities of the product placement application in marketing and financial activities of enterprises. It is established that when building models of the product placement in the activities of enterprises it is necessary to take into account the types of placement, such as: product, novelties, country or region, ideas, product image, corporate, general, neutral, creative. Construction of the model of the product placement application in the marketing and financial activity of the enterprises takes into account the external and internal environment, forms the business reputation and the competitiveness of the enterprise, provides the value for clients. In financial and marketing activities, it is worth using the item placement, merchandising is rather used in terms of investment activities. Under the product placement, we mean the placement of a product or trademark, information about the manufacturer or the seller in a news story or other non-promotional media products that are related to verbal, audio and kinesthetic accompaniment.

Serving style preferences for various meal arrangements among children

AbstractServing styles of meals are important for children's acceptance, but few studies have investigated how children prefer to have their meals served. The aim of this study was to investigate children's preferred serving styles of typical dinner meals in younger and older children. A total of 100 school children aged 7–8‐years and 12–14‐years old preference‐ranked six different dinner meals presented with the various food items arranged on the plate as either separated, in‐between (some mixing, some separation), or mixed serving style using pictorial stimuli. They also scored their liking of each meal on a 7‐point smiley scale. Younger girls significantly preferred a separated serving style (p ≤ .001), while no specific serving style was preferred among younger boys. Older children significantly preferred in‐between serving style (p ≤ .001) and mixed serving style (p ≤ .01) over separated serving style, but no gender differences were found between the older children.Practical applicationsAs specific serving style preferences are seen in some children this knowledge could be incorporated into the preparation of daily meals for families and institutions alike. Serving meals and foods in a separated serving style could be a way of allowing the child to control the degree of possible subsequent mixing of the food items on the plate according to their individual, personal preferences. In contrast, serving a child a meal constituted by mixed food items limit the possibility of separating the elements afterward. This knowledge may optimize areas of the food industry, for example, in the context of ready‐to‐eat lunches brought to the children at school. Using serving styles with division of the food either into more rooms or by simply separating the placement of food items on the plate may allow children to adopt the serving style in accordance with their personal preferences, which may increase acceptance of the meal.
