Summary: The study found that consuming more low-energy-dense and less high-energy-dense foods, as well as improving nutrition knowledge and making healthier food choices, were associated with weight loss in a digital commercial weight loss program. The inclination towards food choice even when just depicted was also linked to long-term weight loss.

Summary: Many breast cancer survivors experience changes in energy balance during and after treatment, potentially influenced by factors such as dietary intake and estrogen suppression. Future research may focus on developing targeted and personalized behavioral interventions to address these specific changes in energy balance.

Summary: Childhood obesity and associated diseases are major problems in modern medicine and public health. The impact of these issues extends beyond the present and immediate future, affecting long-term adult health. Nutritional programming theory explores how a child's birth weight, influenced by maternal feeding behavior, relates to diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. This narrative review provides an overview of the history, theory, and prenatal mechanisms of nutritional programming in relation to childhood obesity and other metabolic diseases.

Summary: The study found biased perceptions among consumers regarding the healthiness of certain foods and weight gain, with some highly processed foods being mistakenly viewed as healthy and traditional Brazilian staple foods being perceived as fattening. Additionally, an optimistic bias was observed when it comes to the risks of developing diabetes, hypertension, and gaining weight.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the familiarity and consumption patterns of local, national, and global foods among adults in a newly globalizing district in India. The results showed that the majority of respondents reported consuming local food items more frequently than national or global items. Accessibility, taste, and healthfulness were identified as key factors influencing food choice. Understanding these food choices can help inform efforts to improve nutrition as non-local food items become more prevalent in India's non-metropolitan areas.

Summary: Food labels are an important information tool for consumers in purchasing food products, impacting their perception of quality and choice. This study found that Portuguese consumers have the habit of reading labels and recognizing their importance, but do not fully understand all the information. They have an easier time understanding front-of-pack labeling systems, especially those presented through symbols/colors.

Summary: This study examines the association and temporal trends between the food environment and BMI of adults. The results show that BMI increases as accessibility to healthy outlets decreases. High access to supermarkets and unhealthy outlets are associated with lower BMI. The research highlights the importance of increasing access to diverse food outlets, particularly healthy ones, for promoting good health.

Summary: This paper provides an overview of the developments in the area of food consumer science. The authors distinguish between input methods that shape the measurement context and output methods that perform measurements. They propose evaluating method validity based on psychological theory and conclude that behavioral measures are generally more valid than psychological or neuro-scientific methods. The main conclusion is the importance of assessing the validity of methods in the context of the research question.

Summary: This experiment explores the effect of animals' discrimination of response-reinforcer contingencies on timing, showing that choice changes appropriately across time when stimuli are discriminable, and subjective equality points decrease with decreasing stimulus difference. A model based on redistributions of reinforcers in time bins and between response locations accurately accounts for the data, highlighting the critical importance of stimulus-response-reinforcer discriminability in timing measures.

Summary: A study found that adding electric shock punishment to extinction can accelerate response suppression, but responding increases when the shock is removed. This result partly supports the view that reinforcement and punishment are asymmetrical processes. However, further experiments indicate that this result may be more due to the shock serving as a discriminative stimulus for the absence of reinforcement rather than the direct effects of punishment itself.

Summary: This bibliometric review examines the research on robots in the context of neurodevelopmental disorders and psychology. The results show that autism spectrum disorder and social communication skills are the most frequently studied topics, with a focus on engineering and neuroscience. There is a notable trend of psychology playing a more prominent role in robotics research.

Summary: This study employed Rasch analysis to validate the WHOQOL-BREF and its shorter versions in the general Thai population. The results showed that the factor structure of the WHOQOL-BREF and its shorter versions were acceptable and could be used in the Thai population. The EUROHIS-QOL-8 was also found to be a valid instrument, but the reliability of the WHOQOL-5 was inadequate.

Summary: This article aims to create a coherent definition of chiropractic professional identity (CPI) and formalize the conceptual domains that may encompass it. From the concept analysis data, CPI was found to encompass six broad attributes or domains. A clear definition of CPI can help promote intra-professional understanding within the profession and facilitate communication with other disciplines.

Summary: Research indicates that deaths due to falls have become a major cause of unintentional injury deaths. To address this issue, a warning system has been developed using a bio-inspired wearable pet robot called KiliRo. This system classifies terrain changes based on visual features obtained from camera images and alerts the wearer while walking. Experimental results show an accuracy of over 95% in classifying different types of terrain.
