Nutrigenomics is a new and promising development in nutritional science which aims to understand the fundamental molecular processes affected by foods. Despite general agreement on its promise for better understanding diet–health relationships, less consensus exists among experts potential of spin-offs aimed at consumer such as personalised nutrition. Research into acceptance applications scarce. The present study develops set key hypotheses public nutrition tests these representative sample...
Through a Privacy Calculus (i.e. risk-benefit trade-off) lens, this study identifies factors that contribute to consumers' adoption of personalised nutrition services. We argue intention adopt services is determined by perceptions Risk, Personalisation Benefit, Information Control, Intrusiveness, Service Effectiveness, and the Benevolence, Integrity, Ability service provider.

Reputation has often been proposed as the central mechanism that creates trust in sharing economy. However, some platforms focus primarily on social rather than economically driven exchanges have managed to facilitate between users without use of a reputation system. This could indicate socially are less need systems and having sufficient is problematic. We examine effect seller sales price proxies for trust, using large dataset from Dutch meal-sharing platform. platform aims stimulate...

Property sharing is one of the most prominent examples rapidly expanding economy. Travelers around world often opt to stay at a stranger's apartment instead any other tourism accommodation. Trust essential in this choice, because staying with, or taking in, strangers can entail great risks. To create trust between users, platforms promote sense community. However, relation community and economy still largely unknown. investigate relation, both hosts guests two platforms, namely Airbnb...
Purpose To quantitatively assess changes in recovery of people recovering from COVID-19 treated by a primary care allied health professional, and to qualitatively describe how they dealt with persistent complaints.
Purpose Self-efficacy has often been found to play a significant role in healthy dietary behaviours. However, self-efficacy interventions most consist of intensive interventions. The authors aim provide more insight into the effect brief on Design/methodology/approach In present article, two randomized controlled trials are described. study 1, intervention with multiple techniques integrated flyer is tested, and 2, an online single technique tested. Findings results show that can directly...

In a double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC), it is necessary that recipes comprising the allergen cannot be distinguished from placebo.We investigated whether method of paired comparisons, sensory difference test, could used to test suitability for DBPCFC.We two recipes, each with three concentrations peanut or hazelnut flour. The recipe consisted mashed potatoes 2.7, 8.9, 26.8 mg flour, and oatmeal porridge 74, 247, 742 Corresponding amounts protein in provided 15 g...
