This paper promotes a reflection on the relationship between daily practices and consumption. Understanding how conflicts, resistance and consensus are generated from daily consumption practices opens up possibilities for reflecting on the construction of sustainability in the context of diversity, one of the landmarks of the globalized world. Within this socio-cultural context, the central iss...

The aim of the work was estimation of copper intake with the daily food rations used for alimentation of students of military high schools and soldiers doing compulsory military service in the Polish Army. An average planned copper content in daily food rations used for alimentation of students and soldiers amounted to 2.49±0.35 mg, and 2.44±0.25 mg respectively. The copper content in the daily...

the objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of inbreeding on average daily gains and kleiber ratios in moghani sheep. traits included average daily gain from birth to 3 months (adg1), average daily gain from birth to 6 months (adg2), average daily gain from 3 months to 6 months (adg3), average daily gain from 3 months to 9 months (adg4), average daily gain from 3 months to ye...

The assessment of temporal differences in cigarette consumption may help in understanding whether a smoking population is becoming more resistant to quitting over time. We calculated absolute differences in average cigarette consumption, stratified by birth cohort and age group. Data were obtained from random samples from two Brazilian national household surveys (1989, N = 12,782; 2008, N = 6,6...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether alcohol consumption predicts major depressive disorder episodes (MDEs) in the general population.

Two experiments involving 288 pigs were conducted to determine the effects of shortterm feed restriction during the growing period on average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed consumption, feed required/unit of gain (F/G), age at 100 kg and average backfat depth at 100 kg. Pigs were fed 100, 85 or 70% of ad libitum consumption for 2or 4-wk periods in Exp. 1 and 100 or 85% for 2or 4-wk period...

The paper presents a clustering based approach for consumers’ classification in representative categories characterized by typical load profiles. For determination of the consumption categories, every customer must be characterized by the following primary information: daily (monthly) energy consumption, average load and peak load. The used database contains the daily load curves corresponding ...
