The main problems of food allergic consumers concerning food labeling: an ethnographic study

It has been estimated that 58% of children and 12% of the adults in developed countries are affected by food allergy, with symptoms ranging from discomfort to fatality. At present, avoidance of problematic foods is the only effective treatment strategy. As of November 25 th , 2005 food manufacturers in the EU are obliged to list 12 potentially allergic ingredients in food. Although the label is still not always fully understood by the consumer, or they get confused by precautionary labelling practices. This paper aims to gain insights into the information preferences of food allergic consumers regarding existing food labelling and additional information delivery systems. The results of this study will facilitate the development of best practices in information provision regarding food safety in the area of food allergy. In particular the research will elicit preferences for new ICT approaches to information delivery which can be focused on the individual needs of consumers. We argue that improved information supply will contribute to the quality of life of food allergic people.Food allergy, consumers, food labelling, information needs, Consumer/Household Economics, Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety,

Wilderness Survival Basic Skills: A Model Seventh Grade Science Curriculum with Integrated Math Concepts

The purpose of this project was to design and implement a model 7th grade science program with integrated mathematics concepts using an outdoor survival theme. The developed program focused on mathematics and science topics related to exploration and survival in the wilderness and enjoyment of the outdoors in order to connect mathematics and science concepts with real life experiences. Current research and literature on integration and multiple intelligences, integration of mathematics and science as well existing outdoor programs was reviewed. Finally, section overviews, student learning objectives, learning activities and teaching strategies were adapted and developed

Animals Don\u27t Hate: A Social Commentary on the Political Climate in America

My CE/T Project revolves around the pre-production work for a short film that explores the current political climate in the United States of America. The project was a very rewarding experience, as it better prepared me for professional life within the film industry. The reason that I chose the particular topic that I did is that I wanted to create a project that would serve as a positive message to the people of this country as well as other people all around the world. The message that I wanted to convey with this project is that we can get along with and love people even if we disagree with them. Regardless of our beliefs, we should be able to coexist as humans and love each other. The process of completing this project was fairly simple in theory. In the end, I wrote three completely different short film screenplays, receiving very helpful feedback on each of them from my faculty advisors, Sara Thomason and Ted Hovet. Once we settled on a final screenplay, I completed much of the pre-production work for it, including a Script Breakdown, Shot List, Shooting Schedule, Strip Board, Budget, Bibliography, and Artist Statement. All of these will appear in this document, in addition to the screenplay itself. As part of the project, I also prepared and presented a pitch for my short film in front of my Feature Screenwriting class with Professor Jessica Folk. This pitch allowed me to, first of all, practice pitching, and second of all, receive very useful feedback from professors and fellow students that were external to the project

Creative Learning: A Curriculum for Preprimary Children: Unit 6: The Five Senses

THE FIVE SENSES is one resource unit. It is hoped to serve as a resource to others as they guide the learning of young children. It is not a cut-and-dried,how-to-do-it book. But it is a collection of numerous learning experiences within the context of a unit setting. The various disciplines are not, and cannot, be separated; learning overlaps. With a central theme, young children will have many opportunities to examine, investigate, explore, experience and discover concepts of meaning. As the children approach the same concept from a number of experiences, they will have opportunities to formulate ideas, to test these ideas for validity and meaning, and to draw conclusions relevant for them
