Women's Income and healthy eating perception
No full textPurpose - The purpose of the chapter is to explore the relation between women's healthy eating intention and food attitudes, beliefs, perceptions, and barriers with a focus on the effect of women's income differences. Methodology/approach - The research applies the Theory of Planned Behavior, including attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, perceived barriers, and ability opportunity resources. Close-ended survey responses of 704 women between ages 25 and 65 years, affluent and at-risk-of-poverty women in three EU-member countries were analyzed. Findings - Women are mostly positively inclined towards healthy eating, and income does not differentiate women's inclination. Influencing factors are perceived behavioral control, attitudes towards healthy eating, subjective norms, and level of knowledge regarding healthy food. Barriers, when present, are similar for lower or higher income women and relate to routinized family habits and food affordability and availability. Research limitations/implications - Future research should thoroughly investigate family network and structure features, with a focus on family food preferences and habits. Social and practical implications - Encouraging women's healthy behavior also impacts children and men, and vice-versa. There is need to target all family components with enjoyable, self-rewarding, emotionally gratifying, and pleasant tasting food. Originality/value - Income is an overestimated driver in healthy food choices. Women are strongly influenced by personal and environmental factors, mainly personal control, feelings, and family habits
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

A Trait of Longevity: The Microbiota of Centenarians
No full textCentenarians, as striking examples of individuals who reach the extreme limits of human lifespan, are a valuable model for studying how the microbiota-component can successfully maintain or re-establish a mutualistic relationship with the human host, along with the occurrence of age-related variations. Indeed, the gut microbiota of centenarians emerges as a peculiar ecosystem, different from that of younger elderly and adults, specifically adapted to an extremely aged host. The study of the centenarians' gut microbiota provided in the last decade a large amount of remarkable data, from different populations across the world, summarized in the present article. Comparison between data from different study populations pointed out that, while lifestyle, ethnicity and geography surely have an impact on such extreme microbiota adaptive variations, common signatures of longevity emerge among the studied populations. The possibilities to exploit such data for human health maintenance during aging are still being explored and interesting scenarios are being envisioned, from the bioprospecting of age-specific probiotic bacteria to the possibility of using microbiota transplantation to promote those features in the gut ecosystem that are known to be linked to longevity
CONSUMER FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSION in Italy, Lithuania, Serbia and Finland - KULUTTAJEN FOKUSRIHMAKESKUSTELUJA ITALIASSA, LIETTUASSA, SERBIASSA JA SUOMESSA
No full textResults from a European research project which e.g. studies obstacles and facilitators of a
healthy diet. From the group discussions that were carried out as a part of data collection, we gained
information of meanings connected to meat as a part of a healthy diet.
There were four countries involved in the research: Italy (I), Lithuania (L), Serbia (S) and Finland
(F). The text is based on two focus group discussions from each country: Italy women (26-40 y., 42-
58 y.), Lithuania women (25-57y.) and men (42-61 y.), Serbia women (26-61 y.) and men (30-65 y.),
and Finland women (65-72 y.) and men (65-83y.). Common to the discussants was that their income
level was low, but they could not be considered as poor. The income level of the Finnish participants
was the highest while the participants from Lithuania and Serbia had the lowest income level.
Differences in the income levels were reflected in the contents of the discussions.
It is typical for the focus group discussions to flow freely. Due to this and as the participating
consumer groups were chosen along criteria important for each country there is variation in the
contents of the discussions. Due to the nature of the data, it is not possible to draw generalizations or
comparisons between the countries

Imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: esboço de biografia
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Florianópolis, 2015.Este esboço de biografia procura citar algumas imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: construções biográficas de naturezas múltiplas, elaboradas em contextos, por atores e sob condições igualmente díspares. Está constituído a partir de uma visão crítica da História, o que permite que ?outras imagens?, fragmentárias e não monumentais, também tenham espaço. Em diálogo com o princípio da montagem, este esboço apresenta-se em duas partes. Na primeira, Imagens possíveis, estão citadas as imagens elaboradas em vida e post mortem acerca do austríaco-brasileiro que nasceu em Viena em 1900, se exilou no Brasil em 1939 e morreu no Rio de Janeiro, em 1978. Na segunda, Montagens possíveis, apresentam-se duas possibilidades de exercício biográfico: pela leitura alegórica do documentário O velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), entendido como instrumento de intervenção no contexto ditatorial brasileiro e de uma reelaboração biográfica concernentes às suas experiências europeias; e pelo Caderno de imagens críticas, registro dos encontros em Carpeaux pelo meio de imagens críticas produzidas a partir da cesura do presente.Abstract : This biographical sketch attempts to quote some images of Otto Maria Carpeaux: various types of biographical constructions, carried out in different contexts by disparate authors under conditions just as distinct. It stems from a critical view of history, allowing for ?other images? fragmented and non-monumental ? to share the space.In dialogue with the montage principle, this sketch has two parts. The first, Possible Images, quotes the images produced during and after the life of the Austrian-Brazilian, who was born in Vienna in 1900, went to Brazil in exile in 1939 and died in Rio de Janeiro in 1978. The second part, Possible Montages, presents two possibilities of a biographical exercise: through the allegorical reading of documentary O Velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), understood as an instrument of intervention in the Brazilian dictatorship context and as a biographical retelling of the author?s European experiences; and through my Scrapbook of Critical Images, a record of the encounters in Carpeaux through critical images produced from the caesura of the present
Maria José ao encontro de Tchekov
No full text“A Carta da Corcunda para o Serralheiro” (“Letter from the Hunchback Girl to the Metalworker”), signed by Maria José, was first performed in a theatre show in 1988 (by actress-director Maria do Céu Guerra), two years before the typescript was published in book form for the first time by Teresa Rita Lopes. The evidence upon which this article is built is that it was the theatre that revealed the dramatic destination of this singular epistle of the only female heteronym that Fernando Pessoa invented, which was also the last heteronym to be created by the author. The dramatic construction of Maria José can be approximated to the character-building strategies in Anton Chekhov’s realist dramaturgy, in a way that differs from Pessoa’s other dramaturgical experiences. The analysis of Chekhov’s ascendancy over Stanislavski’s research, as well as the importance of Schopenhauer’s conception of the tragicomic, which is simultaneously projected onto Chekhov’s theatre and Maria José’s profile, are favourable lines of reading for this rapprochement between Pessoa and the Russian fiction writer and playwright. Pessoa’s readings of Chekhov’s texts (such as the play Uncle Vania and the short story “Vanka”) provide relevant data for assessing the magnitude of this encounter.“A Carta da Corcunda para o Serralheiro”, assinada por Maria José, começou por ser difundida num espectáculo de teatro em 1988 (pela actriz-encenadora Maria do Céu Guerra) dois anos antes de o dactiloscrito se ver publicado em livro, pela primeira vez, por Teresa Rita Lopes. Parte-se da evidência de ter sido o teatro a revelar a destinação dramática da epístola singular do único heterónimo mulher que Fernando Pessoa inventou, que terá sido também o último a ser criado pelo autor. A construção dramática de Maria José pode ser aproximada às estratégias de construção de personagem na dramaturgia realista de Anton Tchekov, de um modo que se distingue de outras experiências dramatúrgicas de Pessoa. A análise do ascendente de Tchekov sobre as pesquisas de Stanislavski, bem como a importância da concepção de tragicómico em Schopenhauer, que se projecta em simultâneo sobre o teatro de Tchekov e sobre o perfil de Maria José, são linhas de leitura propícias para esta aproximação entre Pessoa e o ficcionista e dramaturgo russo. As leituras de textos de Tchekov por parte de Pessoa (como o caso da peça Tio Vânia e o conto “Vanka”) fornecem dados relevantes para avaliar a magnitude deste encontro
