Syfte och frågeställningar Syftet med studien var att få en uppfattning om hur kosten och måltidsmönstret påverkas av en oregelbunden dygnsrytm hos skiftarbetande poliser. Syftet var också att skapa en bild av hur och vilka metoder som används för att skapa goda kost- och sömnrutiner i vardagen. Specifika frågeställningar var hur poliser upplever att deras kostvanor och måltidsmönster påverkas av skiftarbete med en oregelbunden dygnsrytm samt vilka livsstrategier som används för att hantera kost- och sömnvanor som skiftarbetande polis. Metod Datainsamlingen är baserad på intervjuer med fyra poliser, två kvinnliga och två manliga i åldrarna 26 till 37 år, som arbetar i en närförort till Stockholm. Respondenterna valdes ut med hjälp av bekvämlighetsurval via en bekant inom polisen. Samtliga deltagare kontaktades via telefon för att bli informerade om studiens syfte, frågeställningar, genomförande, för att boka in tid för intervju och blev dessutom upplysta om att de har full anonymitet i studien. Veckan innan intervjuerna ägde rum gjordes en pilotintervju med kontaktpersonen. Dagen innan deltagarna intervjuades mejlades frågorna ut. Samtliga intervjuer, förutom den sista, hölls på polisstationen i ett avskilt rum. Den sista intervjun var en telefonintervju. De tre första intervjuerna spelades in med hjälp av en diktafon, för att sedan ordagrant kunna transkriberas, bearbetas och analyseras. Den fjärde intervjun spelades in med hjälp av en mobil, varefter filen överfördes till dator. Resultat och slutsats Respondenternas svar visade individuella skillnader i upplevelsen av hur kosten påverkas av skiftarbete och en oregelbunden dygnsrytm. Regelbundenheten i måltidsmönstret verkar vara mest lidande av detta. Det finns en tendens till att måltiderna förskjuts och att poliserna missar framförallt lunchen, ifall de har arbetat nattskift. I stället äts någon form av frukost två gånger per dag. Livsstrategierna som används skulle kunna förbättras, för att ytterligare skapa bättre regelbundenhet i vardagen. / Aim The aim of this study was to gain insight into how the diet and meal pattern of shift working police officers is affected by an irregular daily routine. The purpose was also to illustrate how and what methods are used to create healthy eating and sleeping routines in everyday life. More specifically, the research questions were how police officers experience that their eating habits and meal patterns are affected by shift work with irregular daily routines and what life strategies are used to handle diet and sleeping habits as a shift working police officer. Method The data collection is based on interviews with four police officers, of whom two are female and two male between the ages of 26 and 37 years and work at a police station in the Stockholm area. The respondents were selected on the basis of convenience sample through an acquaintance within the police. All participants were contacted via telephone and were informed of the study’s purpose, research questions and method before an interview was booked. They were also informed of the fact that they would remain anonymous. A pilot interview was held with the contact person one week prior to the interviews. The participants received the interview questions by e-mail the day before the interview. All interviews, apart from the final one, were conducted at the police station in a private room. The last interview was held over the phone. The first three interviews were recorded with a dictaphone and were later transcribed, revised and analyzed. The fourth interview was recorded with a cellphone, after which the sound file was transferred to a computer. Results and conclusions The results highlighted individual differences in the experience of how the diet is affected by shift work and an irregular daily routine. The regularity of the meal pattern appears to suffer the most. There is a tendency that the meals are displaced and that the police officers primarily miss out on lunch in case they have worked a night shift. Instead they eat some form of breakfast twice per day. The life strategies that are used could be enhanced in order to create better regularity in the police officers’ everyday lives.

Darbo objektas – Motyvacijos sveikai maitintis, valgymo elgesio ir fizinio aktyvumo sąsajos. Darbo tikslas – Išanalizuoti studentų motyvacijos sveikai maitintis, valgymo elgesio ir fizinio aktyvumo sąsajas. Darbo uždaviniai: 1. Įvertinti studentų mitybos įpročius. 2. Įvertinti ir palyginti vaikinų ir merginų motyvaciją sveikai maitintis. 3. Nustatyti studentų mitybos įpročių, motyvacijos sveikai maitintis ir fizinio aktyvumo sąsajas. Hipotezė: fiziškai pasyvesni studentai yra mažiau motyvuoti sveikai maitintis, jų valgymo elgesys mažiau sveikas negu fiziškai aktyvesnių studentų. Išvados: 1. Per savaitę ryžius ir makaronus valgo beveik pusė tyrime dalyvavusių vaikinų ir du trečdaliai merginų. Beveik pusė visų tiriamųjų į savo savaitės mitybos racioną įtraukia šokoladą ir saldainius, kiaušinius valgo du kartus per savaitę. Saldžiųjų - gaiviųjų gėrimų per savaitę nei karto neišgeria pusė tiriamųjų vaikinų ir daugiau kaip du trečdaliai merginų, o varškės sūrio nesirenka daugiau nei pusė visų tiriamųjų vaikinų ir du trečdaliai merginų. 2. Autonominės (vidinės) motyvacijos sveikai maitintis rodikliai buvo didesni, o tai reiškia, kad tiriamieji sveikai maitinasi savo noru, o ne kitų paskatinimu, nei kontroliuojamos (išorinės) motyvacijos ir amotyvacijos (kai motyvacijos sveikai maitintis visai nėra). Autonominės, kontroliuojamos ir amotyvacijos rodikliai tarp vaikinų ir merginų nesiskiria. 3. Autonominė vaikinų motyvacija sveikai maitintis teigiamai siejasi su sveikų produktų...

The aim of study – To analize the links between students motivationto eat healthy eating habits and physical activity. Goals: 1. To evaluate students eating habits. 2. To evaluate and compare the healthy eating motivation in groups of girls and boys. 3. To analize the links between students motivationto eat healthy eating habits and physical activity. Hypothesis: if students are less active physically the are less motivated to eat healthy food. Conclusion: 1. Half of boys and 2/3 girls eat rice and pasta, chocolate, sweets, eggs twice a week. Half of boys and 2/3 of girls neither drink any drinks with sweeteners nor eat curd cheese once a week. 2. The indexes of autonomic (inside) motivation the healthy eating were higher than the ones this means that the subjects voluntarily eat healthy and not the other inducementsof controlling (outside) motivation and amotivation (no motivation). There is no difference between the indexes of girls and boys. 3. Autonomous motivation of boys and girls healthy eating positively associated with healthy products such as porridge, cereals, fish, fresh vegetables, egg consumption and negatively - with meat products. Controlled boys motivation to eat healthily also positively associated with the porridge, cereals, cheese, chicken consumption and girls controlled motivation positively related to the baked potatoes, porridge flakes, white cottage cheese...

During adolescence, the nutritional needs are higher than at any other time in the lifecycle. Childhood food practices persist into late adolescence and children's food preferences predict their food consumption patterns. Therefore, it is important to understand what influences their preferences and how they change over time. The main objective of this part of the THUSA BANA study was to investigate the eating habits of children aged 10-15 years in the North West Province (NWP). A cross-sectional design was used to investigate the eating habits of the children. A single, random sample, stratified for gender (male/female) and ethnic group (black, white, coloured, Indian) was drawn from schools (primary/secondary) in the five regions in the NWP. Dietary intake data (24-h recall method) were used to evaluate the adequacy of nutrient intakes, while frequencies and mean quantities of food intakes and an eating habits questionnaire were used to establish patterns of intake to identify dietary practices. Overall the diets of children 10-15 years of age were deficient in various micronutrients. The RD/Al's were not met for vitamin A, C, E, folate, pantothenic acid, biotin, calcium, magnesium, zinc and copper. The intake of fibre was low. Girls skipped breakfast more often than boys and children from informal settlements skipped breakfast more often than children from rural and urban areas. A significantly lower BMI was found for the children having breakfast when observing all the children, but not for different age and gender groups. The reason given most for skipping breakfast was not being hungry in the morning, but food availability which may have also played a role. The skipping of breakfast was associated with a lower diet quality. A low intake of fruit and vegetables and high intake of snacks were apparent. The intake of snacks, such as chips, cheese curls and sweets were reported more frequently than fruit or vegetables. Small milk portions and large portions of cold drink were reported, suggesting that cold drink is replacing milk in the diet. Overweight children consumed smaller portions of milk, though no correlation between calcium intake and BMI was found. Overweight boys consumed more carbonated cold drink and overweight girls consumed more squash, showing cold drink intake may be positively related to overweight. The snacks consumed were not nutrient dense and were consumed very regularly. The high intake of snacks may contribute to the low micronutrient and fibre intake. The importance of fruit, vegetables, milk, breakfast and high nutrient dense snacks needs to be emphasized with both the children and their parents. / Thesis (M.Sc.

Main goal of this thesis was to evaluate differences in eating habits of people who are actively involved in power sport rowing and adult people who make some sport, but only recreationally or do not make any sport at all.

Eating habits and general advice for healthy food are recently discussed topic, but the eating habits of Roma children are not from a large part presented yet. Diet and way of preparing food has an influence to many factors, especially the social, cultural and economic. The diet has specifics that are typical for many nationalities, also for ethnicity and family.The topic of this thesis is the "Eating habits of the Roma children at younger and older school age in socially excluded localities in the České Budějovice". The aim of this thesis was to find out the dietary habits of Roma children at younger and older school age in socially excluded localities in the České Budějovice.For the practical part of this thesis, was chosen the strategy of quantitative research, the questioning method, which was implemented by the method questionnaire. Was determined by research question - What are the eating habits and knowledge about the healthy nutrition of the Roma children in socially excluded localities? Three hypotheses were formulated. The graphic evaluation of this thesis showed us that the Roma children of my study do not eat according to the rules and principles the healthy diet. In their diet there are many risk factors that may have effect to their health.

Studies of the behavior and eating habits, exploitation and habitat the pattern of use of space are important, since there is a gap of information to species. Such information will assess how populations of S. flavius are living in forest fragments, enabling the deployment of more effective conservation actions. The study objectives were to describe the activity budgets, feeding behavior, the size of the home range and habitat exploitation pattern of a group of blonde capuchin monkey in RPPN Engenho Gargaú located in the municipality of Santa Rita (Paraíba). Data were collected by scan sampling method with instant records every 5 minutes. Phenological data were collected monthly from 90 vegetables fruiting specimens whose intensity were calculated using the Activity Index. The Scan Sampling was dominated by the travel (38.96%), followed by feed (28.58%), forage (21.66%), rest (4.77%), agonistic behavior, social, vocalization and drinking water (6%). This pattern varied significantly during the dry and rainy season. The food was more frequent in the dry season and the displacement in rainy season. The diet group was composed of fruit (43%), stalks of sugar cane (30%), prey animals (15%), leaves (7%), plant parts, including sheath, petiole, bark (3%) and flowers (2%). In the rainy season, fruit consumption was significantly higher and was positively correlated with the intensity of fruiting. The consumption of sugar cane was higher in the dry season, when fruit production was low. 48 plant species were identified in the diet, being Saccharam sp. (37.83%), Elaeis spp. (16.99%) and Tapirira guianenses (6.22%) the most important. The home-range calculated by the Minimum Convex Polygon (MPC) for the group was of 240.22 hectares. The habitats more explored were in Regeneration Forest (35.5%), Edge of Forest in Regeneration (28.2%), Edge of Flooded Mature Forest (17.5%), Edge of mature forest (9.6%) and mature forest (9.2%). The pattern of activities, diet and living area were consistent to those found for the genus Sapajus and all aspects were influenced by the seasonality of food resources and the intervening matrix composed predominantly of sugar cane. / O macaco-prego-galego, Sapajus flavius, ocorre em remanescentes de Mata Atlântica ao norte do rio São Francisco, sendo incluída na lista de espécies ameaçadas pela IUCN como “Criticamente em perigo”. Estudos referentes aos comportamentos e hábitos alimentares, à exploração de hábitats e ao padrão de uso do espaço são importantes, uma vez que há uma lacuna de informações para espécie. Tais informações permitirão avaliar como as populações de S. flavius estão vivendo nos fragmentos florestais, possibilitando a implantação de ações conservacionistas mais eficazes. Os objetivos do estudo foram descrever o padrão de atividades, o comportamento alimentar, o tamanho da área de vida e o padrão de exploração de hábitats de um grupo de macaco-pregogalego na RPPN Engenho Gargaú localizada no município de Santa Rita/PB. Os dados foram coletados pelo método de varredura instantânea com registros a cada 5 minutos. Foram coletados dados fenológicos mensais de 90 espécimes vegetais, cuja intensidade de frutificação foi calculada pelo método de Índice de Atividade. O padrão de atividades foi dominado pelo deslocamento (38,96%), seguido de alimentação (28,58%), forrageio (21,66%), descanso (4,77%), comportamentos agonísticos, sociais, de vocalização e de beber água (6%). Tal padrão variou significativamente nos períodos seco e chuvoso. A alimentação foi mais frequente no período seco e o deslocamento no período chuvoso. A dieta do grupo foi composta por frutos (43%), colmos de cana-de-açúcar (30%), presas animais (15%), folhas (7%), partes vegetais, incluindo bainha, pecíolo, cascas de árvores (3%) e flores (2%). No período chuvoso, o consumo de frutos foi significativamente maior e esteve positivamente correlacionado com a intensidade de frutificação. O consumo de colmos foi maior no período seco, quando a produção de frutos foi baixa. Foram identificadas 48 espécies vegetais incluídas na dieta, sendo Saccharam spp. (37,83%), Elaeis spp. (16.99%) e Tapirira guianenses (6,22%) as mais importantes. Área de vida calculada pelo método do Mínimo Polígono Convexo (MPC) para o grupo foi de 240.22 hectares. Os habitats mais explorados foram Floresta em Regeneração (35.5%), Borda de Floresta em Regeneração (28.2%), Borda de Floresta Madura Alagada (17.5%), Borda de Floresta Madura (9.6%) e Floresta Madura (9.2%). O padrão de atividades, dieta e área de vida foram compatíveis aos encontrados para o gênero Sapajus e todos os aspectos foram influenciados pela sazonalidade dos recursos alimentares e pela matriz interveniente formada predominantemente por cana-de-açúcar.

In this sense, two empirical studies were carried out. Study 1 aimed to validate for the local context the Eating Habits Scale, originally Portuguese and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. A total of 335 people aged 17-48 years (M = 23.2, SD = 5.9) participated in the study, of whom 80.7% were 26 years old. The subjects were predominantly female and single, accounting for 57.8% and 79% of the sample, respectively. They answered a questionnaire composed by the Eating Habits Scale, Anxiety and Depression Scale and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results suggested reducing the Eating Habits Scale, with its final version with 25 items, as well as the Anxiety and Depression Scale, containing 13 items in its final version. Study 2 proposed an explanatory model for obesity, considering the traits of personality, eating habits, quality of life, anxiety and depression. The sample plan used was stratified sampling by allocation, thus, 329 individuals, aged between 17 and 59 years (M = 23 years, SD = 5.61), with a small majority of men (50.5%), Predominantly single (78.7%). The decision model was not fully adequate through the use of the multinomial logistic regression model, however, important variables were identified as predictors of some categories of Body Mass Index (BMI) classification. Among these, we can mention: depression and the personality trait conscientiousness for obesity grade 1 and the personality trait of opening to the change for low weight. The results were generally satisfactory. The instruments can be used to evaluate the Eating Habits, Anxiety and Depression, as well as obesity. Obesity prevention strategies can be operationalized from the results found. / A presente dissertação de mestrado buscou explicar a obesidade a partir dos traços de personalidade, hábitos alimentares, qualidade de vida, ansiedade e depressão. Nesse sentido, foram realizados dois estudos empíricos. O estudo 1 teve como objetivo validar para o contexto local a Escala de Hábitos Alimentares, originalmente portuguesa, bem como a Escala hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão. Participaram do estudo 335 pessoas com idades variando entre 17 e 48 anos (M = 23,2; DP = 5,9), destes 80,7% tinha até 26 anos. Os sujeitos foram, predominantemente, do sexo feminino e solteiros, representando 57,8% e 79% da amostra, respectivamente. Estes responderam a um questionário composto pela Escala de Hábitos Alimentares, Escala de Ansiedade e Depressão e um questionário sociodemográfico. Os resultados sugeriram reduzir a Escala de Hábitos Alimentares, estando sua versão final com 25 itens, como também a Escala de Ansiedade e Depressão, contendo, na sua versão final 13 itens. O estudo 2 propôs um modelo explicativo para a obesidade, considerando os traços de personalidade, hábitos alimentares, qualidade de vida, ansiedade e depressão. O plano amostral utilizado foi Amostragem Estratificada por Alocação, dessa forma, participaram desse estudo 329 indivíduos, com idades variando entre 17 e 59 anos (M = 23 anos; DP = 5,61), com uma pequena maioria masculina (50,5%), predominantemente, solteiros (78,7%). O modelo de decisão não se apresentou totalmente adequado por meio da utilização do modelo de regressão logística multinomial, entretanto, variáveis importantes foram identificadas como preditoras de algumas categorias de classificação do índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). Entre estas, pode-se citar: depressão e o traço de personalidade conscienciosidade para a obesidade grau 1 e o traço de personalidade de abertura à mudança para baixo peso. Os resultados em geral mostraram-se satisfatórios. Os instrumentos poderão ser utilizados para avaliação dos Hábitos Alimentares, Ansiedade e Depressão, bem como obesidade. Estratégias de prevenção da obesidade podem ser operacionalizadas a partir dos resultados encontrados.

The Master's thesis entitled "Gestational Diabetes Diet" deals with the issue of eating habits and a lifestyle of women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus during pregnancy. The theoretical part of the thesis describes the definition, causes and a mechanism of origin, consequences for mother and fetus and also deals with the diagnostic procedures and all possibilities of treatment of this disease. In this part, the diagnostic method analyzed by using the oGTT stress test and a diabetic diet - that together with other preventive measures (mainly physical aktivity) is the first choice in the treatment of pregnancy diabetes - are described in more details. The practical part of this master's thesis contains the results of a questionnaire survey in two groups of pregnant women - with already diagnosed gestational diabetes and before its diagnosis in the oGTT test. It also contains the results of the analysis of women with GDM diets. The analysis were processed by the NutriPro Expert diet program and the results are then compared with the current nutritional recommendations of the Czech Republic for pregnant and nursing women. The aim of this work was to map the eating habits and lifestyle of women with gestational diabetes and find out whether they meet current nutritional recommendations or...
