Abstract This pilot study was derived as a consequence of European Directives 496/90 and 493/91 in which a regulation on the labeling of canned fishing goods was established. The study was intended primarily to assess whether different Spanish canned fishing goods might be differentiated by their basic nutritional composition (i.e., ash, chlorine as NaCl, fat, humidity, total proteins, and dry residue) and, second, to study each particular type of good. Accordingly, a univariate nonparametric statistical test and 2 multivariate chemometric techniques (factor and cluster analyses) were used. The pilot study revealed that (1) the basic nutritional variables did not allow a clear distinction among canned goods when different commodities were considered, but they seemed useful for obtaining information for only one type of good; and (2) the variables that gave the most useful information to visualize the appearance of groups in the data sets were humidity, dry residue, fat, and proteins, although their particular usefulness was found to be different when different species were considered.

Purpose This pilot study explored the effectiveness of an early storybook reading (ESR) intervention for parents with babies with hearing loss (HL) for improving (a) parents' book selection skills, (b) parent–child eye contact, and (c) parent–child turn-taking. Advancing research into ESR, this study examined whether the benefits from an ESR intervention reported for babies without HL were also observed in babies with HL. Method Four mother–baby dyads participated in a multiple baseline single-case experimental design across behaviors. Treatment effects for parents' book selection skills, parent–child eye contact, and parent–child turn-taking were examined using visual analysis and Tau-U analysis. Results Statistically significant increases, with large to very large effect sizes, were observed for all 4 participants for parent–child eye contact and parent–child turn-taking. Limited improvements with ceiling effects were observed for parents' book selection skills. Conclusion The findings provide preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of an ESR intervention for babies with HL for promoting parent–child interactions through eye contact and turn-taking.
