Priority of health preservation and disease prevention to disease treatment is clear. During years, numerous studies with various aims have been done in relation with classification of health states based on some classification systems in order to determine level of healthiness among different groups of people. However it is thought that the need to classify interventions emerged for the first ...

We investigate the task of detecting reliable statements about food-health relationships from natural language texts. For that purpose, we created a specially annotated web corpus from forum entries discussing the healthiness of certain food items. We examine a set of task-specific features (mostly) based on linguistic insights that are instrumental in finding utterances that are commonly perce...

This paper describes a formalization of the weakest precondition, wp, for general recursive programs using the type-theoretical proof assistant Coq. The formalization is a deep embedding using the computational power intrinsic to type theory. Since Coq accepts only structural recursive functions, the computational embedding of general recursive programs is non-trivial. To justify the embedding,...

The impact of participation in group-based credit programs, by gender of participant, on the health status of children by gender in rural Bangladesh is investigated. These credit programs are well suited to studies of how genderspecific resources alter intra-household allocations because they induce differential participation by gender. Women’s credit is found to have a large and statistically ...

Recent high-level reports state the population should decrease meat consumption to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well improve public health. This calls for new strategies change dietary habits, especially many consumers are reluctant eat less meat. study tests effect of labelling a meat-based ready meal with different levels carbon footprint and healthiness on consumers’ willingness...

OBJECTIVE The overall aim of this study was to examine a variety of belief and demographic factors that are associated with the perception that meat is intrinsically unhealthy. DESIGN State-wide survey (written questionnaire) that included questions on meat and nutrition beliefs, perceived barriers and benefits of vegetarian diets, personal values, number of vegetarian friends and family memb...

In this paper, a general approach is to classify of the green leaf healthiness. Fuzzy logic tool (FuzzyLite 3.2 software) and color features (RGB Spectrum) are used in this experiment. Mean values of primary colors (Red, Green and Blue) channels as input to FIS (Fuzzy Inference System). FIS gives decision whether this part of leaf is healthy, unhealthy or dying. Experimentation is conducted on ...
