The way of Apple uses product ecosystem and word of mouth by customers. And on the other hand, Apple is working through pricing strategy and location of Apple stores.

A community focused approach toward making healthy and affordable daily diet recommendations.

Maintaining an affordable and nutritious diet can be challenging, especially for those living under the conditions of poverty. To fulfill a healthy diet, consumers must make difficult decisions within a complicated food landscape. Decisions must factor information on health and budget constraints, the food supply and pricing options at local grocery stores, and nutrition and portion guidelines provided by government services. Information to support food choice decisions is often inconsistent and challenging to find, making it difficult for consumers to make informed, optimal decisions. This is especially true for low-income and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) households which have additional time and cost constraints that impact their food purchases and ultimately leave them more susceptible to malnutrition and obesity. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate how the integration of data from local grocery stores and federal government databases can be used to assist specific communities in meeting their unique health and budget challenges. We discuss many of the challenges of integrating multiple data sources, such as inconsistent data availability and misleading nutrition labels. We conduct a case study using linear programming to identify a healthy meal plan that stays within a limited SNAP budget and also adheres to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Finally, we explore the main drivers of cost of local food products with emphasis on the nutrients determined by the USDA as areas of focus: added sugars, saturated fat, and sodium. Our case study results suggest that such an optimization model can be used to facilitate food purchasing decisions within a given community. By focusing on the community level, our results will inform future work navigating the complex networks of food information to build global recommendation systems.

192 Evaluation of Textural Characteristics (Texture Profile Analysis and Shear force) on Commercial Training Pet Treats

Abstract Characteristics like scent, flavor, and texture can impact pet treat acceptability. Pet owners rely on personal organoleptic preferences of texture to judge treat quality, and subsequently determine desire to purchase. However, quantitative textural data for commercially available pet treats is currently limited and hard to find since companies that normally measure textural parameters in their products typically keep that information for their own use. This information is important for further investigation regarding product development and sensory evaluation to determine pet preferences and purchasing decisions. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate different textural characteristics of commercially available training treats that serve as a reference to manufacture new pet food products. Six different commercial brands (brand 1, brand 2, brand 3, brand 4, brand 5, and brand 6) were randomly selected from local pet stores. A TA-HDplusC texture analyzer was used to conduct a texture profile analysis (TPA) using a TA-30 probe, while the shear force (SF) test was performed using a TA-42 45° angle chisel blade probe (n = 10 samples per test per product). Data were analyzed as a 1-way ANOVA using the GLIMMIX procedure of SAS ver. 9.4 with mean separation with the PDIFF option at P ≤ 0.05. Significant differences of TPA and SF test parameters were observed among commercial brands of training treats except for chewiness which was similar among all brands. When products were subjected to the TPA test, brand 1 required the maximum force to deform the treats (P < 0.001). Therefore, brands 1 and 2 had the greatest adhesion to the probe (P < 0.001). For resilience, brands 1 and 2 had greater ability to regain the original form, but brand 2 was similar to brands 4 and 6 (P = 0.023). Brands 1 and 2 had cohesiveness values, but these were similar to brand 6 (P = 0.002). For springiness, brands 1, 2, and 6 had greater values (P = 0.0196), but brand 6 was similar to brands 4 and 5. However, brands 1, 2, and 6 had the greatest height recovered after compression among all brands (P = 0.020). Regarding the SF test, brand 2 were firmer and tougher than all other brands (P < 0.001). Textural differences were observed among different training treats brands; however, treats from certain brands shared similar textural characteristics. Overall, brands 1 and 2 typically had the greater values for the textural parameters evaluated. Moreover, textural data on commercially available training treats was generated, so quantitative data of commercially available training treats can be used as a reference to manufacture new pet treats. Likewise, future consumer sensory panel research into preferred textural characteristics by pet owners is warranted.

Rendimento e triagem fitoquímica do extrato aquoso da casca de Annona squamosa Linn

Annona squamosa is a fruit plant of gastronomic interest, with great potential for bioprospecting. Parts of the plant are used by folk medicine for the treatment of various diseases, and studies have already proven many of its activities, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, antitumor and anti-inflammatory. This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical content of the aqueous extract of the fruit peel. Samples were acquired from local stores during the first harvest period of the year, for three consecutive years. The extract was performed with dehydrated and pulverized samples and the phytochemical screening followed the specifications for each chemical class. The average yield of the aqueous extract was 36.6%, ranging from 35.3% to 38.1%. There was no significant difference in the yield of the aqueous extract over the three years analyzed. The screening indicated the presence of carbohydrate and several phenolic compounds. The aqueous extract of Annona squamosa showed consistency in terms of yield and its phytochemical profile presents a vast number of compounds of biotechnological interest.

Where you live matters: The impact of offline retail density on mobile shopping app usage

Consumers residing in different areas have varying levels of access to local retail stores. In contrast, with the prevalence of mobile internet, consumers have gained widespread access to mobile shopping. This research examines the impact of local offline retail density on consumers’ mobile shopping app usage and heterogeneity across consumer segments and different types of shopping apps. We use a unique dataset of individual-level mobile app usage with real-time location information across 1622 counties in China and employ the control function approach to address the endogenous retail density. Overall, the findings show that local offline retail density has a negative effect on mobile shopping app usage frequency and duration, indicating that consumers in areas with lower offline retail density engage more in mobile shopping app usage. This negative effect is weaker for consumers with higher mobility. Also, we find that this negative effect is weaker for shopping apps selling more technically complex products such as electronics than for those selling less technically complex products such as clothing and cosmetics. These results offer managerial implications for online retailers to launch targeting strategies to enhance consumer engagement with their shopping apps.

Diet-induced diabetes is associated with lower hippocampal glycogen and reduced glycogenolysis following local exogenous insulin.

Brain fuel (specifically, glucose) supply and metabolism are well-established to be limiting factors for cognitive performance, with the largest body of data being for hippocampally mediated tasks. Consistent with this, disease states such as Alzheimer's disease and insulin-resistant diabetes, that impair cognitive metabolism, impair cognition with this being shown again most prominently for hippocampally mediated processes. In addition to glucose supplied from the blood, brain oxidative metabolism can use local glycogen stores (within astrocytes) as a fuel source via conversion to lactate; both lactate and glycogen have been shown to be important contributors to regulation of cognitive metabolism. Insulin has been shown to be a key regulator of hippocampal cognitive and metabolic processes; in the periphery, insulin facilitates glycogen synthesis and storage, but the impact on brain glycogen is unclear. Furthermore, the impact of diet-induced diabetes on hippocampal glycogen levels and/or metabolism is unknown. Here, we show that in rats with high-fat diet-induced diabetes, hippocampal glycogen is reduced and is less responsive to acute intrahippocampal administration of insulin, which significantly reduces glycogen in the hippocampi of control animals: Our data suggest that impaired fuel availability from glycogen may be a contributing factor to the cognitive impairment seen in disease states that include central insulin resistance.

A cluster of Histamine Fish Poisoning associated with the ingestion of tuna

Abstract Histamine fish poisoning, also known as scombroid poisoning, arises from the improper handling and refrigeration of scombroid fish that contain naturally occurring histidine such as tuna, mackerel and swordfish. Histidine is converted to histamine when these fish inadequately chilled. Histamine fish poisoning is generally associated with levels greater than 500 mg/kg but poisonings have been observed at lower levels (e.g. >200 mg/kg). European legislation states that scombroid fish species should be tested for the presence of histamine and mean values should be < 100mg/kg. The authors report an outbreak of probable histamine fish poisoning in three individuals following ingestion of tuna. The tuna was bought in a local store. It was cooked and eaten by the 3 cases at home for their evening meal. Symptom onset occurred between 30 minutes and two hours after ingestion and included flushing, facial/lip swelling, an itchy rash and palpitations. All three cases attended the Emergency Department (ED) requiring oral or Intravenous (IV) anti-histamine and/or oral steroids and IV fluids. Fortunately, all cases recovered fully and were discharged from the ED. The public health actions that were taken, crucially included rapid coordination with the Environmental Health Service (EHS). Temperature control is the crucial step in preventing histamine fish poisoning. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland and the Irish Sea Fisheries Board highlight the importance of proper handling and chilling of fish from time of catch through to transportation, processing, storage and distribution. This report highlights the importance of timely and coordinated public and environmental health responses to histamine fish poisoning cases. National Clinical Guidelines are currently being developed in conjunction with the Irish Association for Emergency Medicine (IAEM) on the Management of Histamine Fish Poisoning/Histamine Poisoning in Adult Patients. Key messages • Environment and Health. • Food governance.

Analyzing sales of the Korean restaurant franchise during the COVID-19 pandemic with the mixed-effects model approach.

Using point-of-sales (POS) data, the sales trends of 48 member stores of a Korean restaurant franchise during the COVID-19 pandemic were analyzed. As daily sales are nested in each member store of a franchise, the hierarchical structure of POS data was fully and effectively utilized by employing a mixed-effects model. The results showed that although sales volumes in all member stores were negatively affected by the pandemic, the level of impact varied according to store location: sales at some stores were drastically reduced, while a few others even achieved a slight increase in sales during the pandemic. These findings suggest that the government support policy for small business owners should be designed in a locally optimized way, to take account of neighborhood characteristics and the degree of sales loss for individual business owners.

Fashion Library: Bridging Environmental Sustainability and Innovative Marketing for a Sustainable Future

The UN Environment Programme states that thefashion business is the additional largest user of water while emitting 8 to 10% of global carbon. Fashion Libraries, a novel idea in India as a form of pooling or renting are considered as possible paths to sustainable clothing. Research in foreign counties has associated the acceptance of fashion libraries with psychological, social, and financial risks among others. The rationale of this study is to find out the acceptance and perception of fashion libraries; identify the early adopters of fashion libraries, the risk associated, and the decision-making factors for becoming members of collaborative fashion consumption. Further, the exploratory study aims to obtain a psychographic valuation of Collaborative Fashion library users/potential users and comprehend their cause and factors for joining it.Data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to 410 respondents across various cities of Gujarat, India with respondents in the 18 to 60 age group. Statistical tools like Exploratory factor analysis, ANOVA testing, and correlation were used to corroborate the results.The effect of the exploratory study identified three early adopter segments –Early adopters of fashion, Fashion Influencers with environmental concerns, and Possible Green early adopters. The acceptance of these libraries was based on certain factors like sustainability, hygiene and cleanliness, store layout, easy accessibility to store location, product width and depth availability in all sizes, styles, designs, and good maintenance of the garments.

Monophasic Variant of Salmonella Typhimurium 4,[5],12:i:- (ACSSuGmTmpSxt Type) Outbreak in Central Italy Linked to the Consumption of a Roasted Pork Product (Porchetta).

The monophasic variant of S. Typhimurium 4,[5],12:i:- (MVST) is the third most commonly reported Salmonella serovar involved in human infections (8.8%) in the EU and ranks after S. Enteritidis (54.6%) and S. Typhimurium (11.4%). In Italy, in contrast, the MVST has achieved peculiar epidemiological and ecological success which has allowed it to be, since 2011, the serovar most frequently isolated from humans. In the summer of 2022, a foodborne outbreak of the MVST involving 63 people occurred in the Marche Region (Central Italy). A common food exposure source among some human cases was a roasted, ready-to-eat (RTE) pork product, porchetta, which is a typical product of Central Italy. This paper describes the results of investigations conducted to clarify this outbreak. The porchetta was produced by a local manufacturing plant and distributed to at least two local retail stores, one of which was the retail outlet for the manufacturing plant. The MVST was isolated from surface samples collected at the porchetta manufacturing plant and at both local retail stores via bacterial analysis, and the porchetta sampled at one store contained the MVST. These data confirm this type of RTE pork product can be a source of Salmonella infection in humans.

Management of captive Passeriformes in eastern Amazonia: the amateur breeder

The interactions between avifauna and the environment, including relationships with humans and their role in cultural practices, are part of ethnoornithological studies. The main objective of this study was to describe the ex situ management of passerines by amateur breeders for recreational and commercial purposes in a municipality in the Brazilian Amazon. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 62 farmers who had 279 wild birds belonging to 23 species in captivity. These animals were kept in cages of different sizes. The birds’ diets were obtained from specialized commercial stores and offered daily to the animals according to age group and reproductive stage. The animals were kept in environments with good air flow, and the cages were cleaned, and the water was changed daily. Worming of birds was a routine practice, but infestations and some diseases were noted. Medications for treatment were obtained from local specialized stores. The reproductive management of passerine birds, especially Sporophila angolensis and Sporophila maximiliani, was performed by only three breeders. The results provide relevant empirical knowledge about the ex situ management of passerines, which is part of local cultural habits. However, this study indicates that there may be negative effects of maintaining these birds in captivity, such as the capture of free-ranging wild animals. Socio-educational measures are necessary to improve awareness of the sustainable use of environmental resources and encourage legalized breeding of passerines to help conserve the species. Keywords: wild animals, ethnozoology, ex situ management, birds, Sporophila.

B2C multi- to single-channel: the effect of removing a consumer channel preference on consumer retailer and channel choice

PurposeThis paper aims to study how retailers moving from a multi- (in-store and online) to a single- (online) channel impacts consumers’ retailer and channel choices.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conduct two scenario-based experimental studies to examine consumers’ in-store and online channel shopping preferences and behavioural intentions (i.e. channel and retailer choices) when their preferred focal retailer’s physical store closes.FindingsThe findings show that when a focal retailer removes its physical store location, consumers with a strong preference for shopping online have a greater likelihood of shopping online. Their loyalty towards the retailer explains this relationship but is conditional on low levels of reactance. When reactance is high, consumers with a strong preference for shopping online are more likely to switch to a competitor.Originality/valueThis research paper bridges the intersection between B2B and B2C literature to understand how retailers’ channel-related supply chain decisions affect downstream consumer shopping behaviour.

Probiotic effects of Lactococcus lactis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides on stress and longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans.

The short lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans enables the efficient investigation of probiotic interventions affecting stress and longevity involving the potential therapeutic value of Lactococcus lactis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides isolated from organic basil. The lactic acid bacteria were cultured from the produce collected from a local grocery store in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and then identified through 16S rDNA sequencing and biochemical tests. To dive deep into this analysis for potential probiotic therapy, we used fluorescent reporters that allow us to assess the differential induction of multiple stress pathways such as oxidative stress and the cytoplasmic, endoplasmic reticulum, and the mitochondrial unfolded protein response. This is combined with the classic health span measurements of survival, development, and fecundity, allowing a wide range of organismal observations of the different communities of microbes supported by probiotic supplementation with Lactococcus lactis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides. These strains were initially assessed in relation to the Escherichia coli feeding strain OP50 and the C. elegans microbiome. The supplementation showed a reduction in the median lifespan of the worms colonized within the microbiome. This was unsurprising, as negative results are common when probiotics are introduced into healthy microbiomes. To further assess the supplementation potential of these strains on an unhealthy (undifferentiated) microbiome, the typical axenic C. elegans diet, OP50, was used to simulate this single-species biome. The addition of lactic acid bacteria to OP50 led to a significant improvement in the median and overall survival in simulated biomes, indicating their potential in probiotic therapy. The study analyzed the supplemented cultures in terms of C. elegans' morphology, locomotor behavior, reproduction, and stress responses, revealing unique characteristics and stress response patterns for each group. As the microbiome's influence on the health span gains interest, the study aims to understand the microbiome relationships that result in differential stress resistance and lifespans by supplementing microbiomes with Lactococcus lactis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides isolated from organic basil in C. elegans.

VADF: V ersatile A pproximate D ata F ormats for Energy-Efficient Computing

Approximate computing (AC) techniques provide overall performance gains in terms of power and energy savings at the cost of minor loss in application accuracy. For this reason, AC has emerged as a viable method for efficiently supporting several compute-intensive applications, e.g., machine learning, deep learning, and image processing, that can tolerate bounded errors in computations. However, most prior techniques do not consider the possibility of soft errors or malicious bit-flips in AC systems. These errors may interact with approximation-introduced errors in unforeseen ways, leading to disastrous consequences, such as the failure of computing systems. A recent research effort, FTApprox (DATE’21) proposes an error-resilient approximate data format. FTApprox stores two blocks, starting from the one containing the most significant valid (MSV) bit. It also stores location of the MSV block and protects them using error-correcting bits (ECBs). However, FTApprox has crucial limitations such as lack of flexibility, redundantly storing zeros in the MSV, etc. In this paper, we propose a novel storage format named Versatile Approximate Data Format (VADF) for storing approximate integer numbers while providing resilience to soft errors. VADF prescribes rules for storing, for example, a 32-bit number in either 8-bit, 12-bit or 16-bit numbers. VADF identifies the MSV bit and stores a certain number of bits following the MSV bit. It also stores the location of the MSV bit and protects it by ECBs. VADF does not explicitly store the MSB bit itself and this prevents VADF from accruing significant errors. VADF incurs lower error than both truncation methodologies and FTApprox. We further evaluate five image-processing and machine-learning applications and confirm that VADF provides higher application quality than FTApprox in the presence and absence of soft errors. Finally, VADF allows the use of narrow arithmetic units. For example, instead of using a 32-bit multiplier/adder, one can first use VADF (or FTApprox) to compress the data and then use a 8-bit multiplier/adder. Through this approach, VADF facilitates 95.97% and 79.3% energy savings in multiplication and addition, respectively. However, the subsequent re-conversion of the 8-bit output data to 32-bit data using Inv-VADF(16,3,32) diminishes the energy savings by 9.6% for addition and 0.56% for multiplication operation, respectively.

Utilizing Digital Health Technology to Increase Sexual Health Care Access: Youth Preferences on Self-Collect, Mail-In Sexually Transmitted Infection Testing in a High Sexually Transmitted Infection Prevalence Area

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for innovative approaches to delivering care. Self-collect, mail-in sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing could address barriers to in-person STI testing, particularly for youth, who bear a disproportionate burden of STIs. This study sought to obtain youth input on the development of a free self-collect, mail-in STI testing program. MethodsFocus group discussions (n = 5, 45–60 minutes each) were conducted with 28 youth ages 14–19 years old living in Baltimore, Maryland. Focus group discussions were based on a conceptual framework of patient-centered health-care access, and a prototype online program was discussed. Transcribed data were coded thematically. Memos were written to synthesize findings and identify representative quotes. ResultsParticipants noted existing barriers to in-person STI testing barriers including individual-level (e.g., lack of knowledge), interpersonal-level (e.g., stigma), and structural-level (e.g., financial). Although participants expressed concerns about self-collect, mail-in STI testing (e.g., accuracy of self-swabbing), there was overall acceptance of the program, and many felt it would address current barriers to testing. Opportunities to improve the testing program included all four steps of testing process: kit ordering, receipt of the kit and swabbing, post-testing experience, and communication of results and treatment. Specifically, participants desired expanded shipping options to schools, and mail drop-off points such as lockers and local convenience stores; more transparency about testing and treatment; and hearing directly from health-care providers to assuage any concerns. DiscussionSelf-collect, mail-in STI testing was favorable among youth, and could be a viable option for increasing youth access to STI testing.

Multi-operational solar photovoltaic microgrid with synchronization, backup and power quality enhancement ability

The proposed three phase solar photovoltaic microgrid (SPV-MG) works as a multi-mode operational system. It operates under different modes of operations: 1) Daytime, in presence of sunlight, it transfers real power to three-phase loads and grid, also mitigates power quality issues and provides power balance, 2) During grid absence, it operates in standalone mode, gives power backup to local demand and stores excess solar generation into the battery storage (BS). 3) At night, in the absence of sunlight, the SPV-MG has zero power generation so the VSI (Voltage Source Inverter) acts as a Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM). It is capable of providing reactive power compensation, power factor correction (PFC), harmonics elimination, voltage regulation etc. which in turn improves the utilization factor of devices by nearly double-fold. 4) It has re-synchronization and isolation capability with respect to grid availability. A battery storage (BS) is attached at the DC bus of VSI to support the SPV-MG during peak demands and during grid and solar uncertainties. A laboratory prototype is developed to validate the performance with the experimental results.
