BACKGROUND European Council resolutions on tattoo ink introduce sterility and preservation of inks to protect customers. Inks used in Denmark are typically purchased over the internet from international suppliers and manufacturers from the US and the UK. In Denmark tattoo inks are regulated and labelled according to REACH as if they were plain chemicals. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study ...

The term ‘coastal fisheries’ designates a form of fishing which is under heavy pressure due to competition by large-scale high sea fishing. Setting up markets for seafood from coastal fisheries might offer possibilities product differentiation when appreciated consumers. aim this research analyse the potential marketing investigating consumers’ perception and their attitudes towards label fishe...

OBJECTIVE To investigate nutrition literacy among adult grocery buyers regarding energy-related labelling terms on food packaging. DESIGN Qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys to determine shoppers' understanding of energy terms ('energy', 'calories' and 'kilojoules') and how energy terms affect perceptions of healthiness and intentions to purchase breakfast cereals, muesli bars and...

The main objective of the present study was to develop an efficient and reliable probe to be routinely used for detection of chromosome 13 copy numbers by interphase FISH. To achieve this, a Yeast Artificial Chromosome (YAC) containing sequences specific for human 13q12 (744D11), was cultured and the whole yeast genomic DNA was extracted. The human insert within the isolated DNA was amplified b...

What is already known about this subject • Obesity is widely studied in clinical trials, perhaps due to its extremely high prevalence worldwide. • Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and patient functioning are important secondary end points in clinical trials. • Existing measures of HRQOL and patient functioning, such as the Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite (IWQOL-Lite) questionnair...

Both the US Institute of Medicine and the Canadian Standing Committee on Health have called for simple, standardized front-of-package (FOP) nutrition labelling systems on packaged foods. However, despite scientific evidence and expert consensus on the topic, Canada's Minister of Health has dismissed these recommendations, stating that Canadian consumers already have "the tools they need to make...

Research background : Impacts of the environmental burden on our society are more and acute. Especially in context globalization recent COVID-19 Pandemic, principles, instruments forms enviromental policies crucial for an effective solution situation. It is necessary to apply these at local, state global levels. Purpose article: Effective communication, well aimed propaganda relevant feed back ...

Given a real-analytic manifold M , a compact connected Lie group G and a principal G-bundle P → M , there is a canonical ‘generalized measure’ on the space A/G of smooth connections on P modulo gauge transformations. This allows one to define a Hilbert space L2(A/G). Here we construct a set of vectors spanning L2(A/G). These vectors are described in terms of ‘spin networks’: graphs φ embedded i...

Concerned about the high incidence of medical errors, The US Food and Drug Administration’s Human Factors Engineering Group of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) has begun an aggressive approach to consider the impact of Human Factors (HF) in medical device design and labelling. In Australia and Europe, government activities also include HF in the labelling of pharmaceuticals...
