Managing risk in a new product and service development process is one of the major challenges for many business managers. A scenario planning approach was incorporated into a new telecommunications service development process in order to understand the uncertainties shaping the future economic, business and technological environments. Understanding the major drivers for uncertainties helped in gaining insight and thereby generated new strategies for reducing risks and taking advantage of opportunities from uncertainty. In order to demonstrate the process and value of the approach, it was applied to a new telecommunications service concept, the Phoneweb service, which allows Internet access through telephones rather than a computer interface.

Although some studies have demonstrated the beneficial effects of watermelon supplementation on metabolic diseases, no study has explored the potential mechanism by which watermelon consumption improves body weight management. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of fresh watermelon consumption on satiety, postprandial glucose and insulin response, and adiposity and body weight change after 4 weeks of intervention in overweight and obese adults. In a crossover design, 33 overweight or obese subjects consumed watermelon (2 cups) or isocaloric low-fat cookies daily for 4 weeks. Relative to cookies, watermelon elicited more (p < 0.05) robust satiety responses (lower hunger, prospective food consumption and desire to eat and greater fullness). Watermelon consumption significantly decreased body weight, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure and waist-to-hip ratio (p ≤ 0.05). Cookie consumption significantly increased blood pressure and body fat (p < 0.05). Oxidative stress was lower at four week of watermelon intervention compared to cookie intervention (p = 0.034). Total antioxidant capacity increased with watermelon consumption (p = 0.003) in blood. This study shows that reductions in body weight, body mass index (BMI), and blood pressure can be achieved through daily consumption of watermelon, which also improves some factors associated with overweight and obesity (clinicaltrials.gov, NCT03380221).

Manufacturing companies are facing rapid and unanticipated changes in their business environment. Most of these companies need to find new strategies to remain competitive in the market. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to integrate the Fuzzy Analytical Network Process (ANP) and VIKOR methods to evaluate the green agile factors and sub-factors in the dairy companies in Iran. To find the green agile factors and sub-factors, this study used the expert’s opinions and literature review. Data is collected from four dairy companies. The results of this study showed that the most important green agility factors are: trust-based relationship with suppliers, flexible production capacity, versatile workers, compliance with quality standards for a new product, and workers’ willingness to learn. In addition, the results indicated that the green agility organization is one of the strategies that help companies to stay in the market. To validate the results, this study used four methods, including TOPSIS, ARAS, EDAS, and MABAC. The necessity of a reaction to the increasing customer choices, environmental concerns, and competitiveness among manufacturers across the globe has engaged the industry to embrace innovative manufacturing strategies.

Abstract Objectives Overweight and obesity affect over two-thirds of the US population. This is concerning, as excess adiposity increases risk for dementia in later life. Thus, it is important to elucidate dietary approaches that benefit cognition. Lutein is a xanthophyll carotenoid thought to impact cognitive function. Daily consumption of avocado has been shown to improve cognitive function and lutein status but it is not clear whether these benefits extend to populations with overweight and obesity. Thus, we evaluated the influence of daily avocado consumption on cognitive function, serum lutein concentrations, and retinal xanthophyll status among adults with overweight and obesity using a randomized-controlled study. Methods Adults (N = 72, 25–45 years, 31 males) with overweight or obesity (BMI 25 kg/m2) were randomized to an intervention group (N = 38) that received a daily meal with one avocado or a control group (N = 34) that received an isocaloric meal without avocado for 12 weeks. Fasting serum lutein concentrations were evaluated through high-performance liquid chromatography. Macular pigment optical density (MPOD) was assessed through heterochromatic flicker photometry. Selective attention was assessed by a modified Flanker task. Results Group by time interactions were seen for serum lutein concentrations (P = 0.002) and flanker accuracy (P = 0.006) whereby the intervention group exhibited a more substantial increase in serum lutein concentrations (0.04 ug/ml; 95% CI, 0.02 to 0.06) and overall task accuracy (2.4%; 95% CI, 0.4 to 4.5). However, there was no relationship between task performance and changes in serum lutein concentration (P = 0.23), nor changes in MPOD. Conclusions Daily consumption of a meal containing avocado improved selective attention and serum lutein concentrations among adults with overweight and obesity. The cognitive benefits of avocado consumption were apparent even prior to changes in retinal lutein status. Given that avocados are comprised of a variety of nutrients, additional work is necessary to determine non-carotenoid dependent mechanisms by which avocados may impact cognitive function.

Aim: to compare the eating habits in groups of subjects with normal body weight (BMI less than 25 kg/m2), overweight and obesity (BMI 25 kg/m2 or more) in the gender aspect of the population in Omsk region according to the epidemiological study ESSE-RF2. Patients and Methods: within the framework of the Russian multicenter study ESSE-RF2, the eating habits were assessed by a questionnaire method using the example of consumption of food products in 21 groups, based on the representative sample of the Omsk region population aged 25 to 64 years (n=1648). The comparison of eating habits in two groups of the surveyed was conducted: BMI<25 kg/m2 (n=572) and BMI≥25 kg/m2 (n=1076), as well as in the gender aspect. Results: the daily consumption of vegetables and fruits in the diet of Omsk residents is insufficient and practically does not differ in both groups. Omsk residents are less likely than Russians in general to consume meat daily, and women with a BMI≥25 kg/m2 tend to limit their daily consumption (p=0.063). Omsk residents do not consume enough fish, regardless of body weight, both men and women. In the daily diet of Omsk residents, poultry prevails, regardless of body weight, in comparison with the average Russian indicators. The daily consumption of milk is approximately the same in both groups, but kefir and yogurt are consumed daily and weekly more commonly in the group with BMI≥25 kg/m2 (55.5% vs. 50.2%, p=0.033). Omsk residents with BMI≥25 kg/m2 are less likely to add yogurt into their daily diet (p=0.0001), mainly due to women with the same BMI (p=0.0001), who commonly refuse it. The same category of patients restricts the consumption of pasta (p=0.004), in particular, due to men (p=0.004): more commonly restricts the excessive consumption of sweets and pastry (p=0.007), and due to women (p=0.002): more commonly adds salt to food without first trying it. Conclusion: the presence of overweight and obesity has somewhat changed the eating habits of Omsk residents in a positive direction — there was a restriction in the diet of pasta, pastry and sweets. However, in general, the imbalance in food consumption and salting food without first trying is obvious, which requires targeted preventive work taking into account the identified gender food priorities in the presence and absence of overweight and obesity.

Abstract Background Sugar overconsumption is a major contributor to overweight and obesity, with daily consumption greatly exceeding the WHO’s recommendations. The aim of the present study was to determine whether using a functionally modified sugar shaker as a food environment nudge could be an effective means to reduce the sugar used in hot beverages. Methods Sugar shakers were functionally modified to reduce the amount of sugar in each pour by 47%. A real-world experiment was conducted to compare the amount of added sugar per hot beverage during default and nudge conditions over the course of four weeks (17,233 hot beverages sold) in a university take-away café. In addition, 59 customers were surveyed to evaluate the acceptance of the intervention. Results Modifying the functional design of sugar shakers resulted in a reduction of added sugar by 20% (d = 1.35) compared to the default condition. In the survey, most participants evaluated the intervention strategy positively. Conclusion The present real-world experiment demonstrates that a simple environmental intervention can significantly reduce sugar consumption in public places while meeting with consumer approval, making it a promising means of reducing sugar overconsumption.

The increasing pattern of colorectal cancer (CRC) in specific geographic region, compounded by interaction of multifactorial determinants, showed the tendency to cluster. The review aimed to identify and synthesize available evidence on clustering patterns of CRC incidence, specifically related to the associated determinants. Articles were systematically searched from four databases, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and EBSCOHost. The approach for identification of the final articles follows PRISMA guidelines. Selected full-text articles were published between 2016 and 2021 of English language and spatial studies focusing on CRC cluster identification. Articles of systematic reviews, conference proceedings, book chapters, and reports were excluded. Of the final 12 articles, data on the spatial statistics used and associated factors were extracted. Identified factors linked with CRC cluster were further classified into ecology (health care accessibility, urbanicity, dirty streets, tree coverage), biology (age, sex, ethnicity, overweight and obesity, daily consumption of milk and fruit), and social determinants (median income level, smoking status, health cost, employment status, housing violations, and domestic violence). Future spatial studies that incorporate physical environment related to CRC cluster and the potential interaction between the ecology, biology and social determinants are warranted to provide more insights to the complex mechanism of CRC cluster pattern.
