Recommendations of the Spanish-Portuguese Internal Medicine Services in the Fig...

Facing the severity of the impact of climate change andenvironmental degradation on human health, 32 InternalMedicine societies, colleges, and associations of 29 Spanishand Portuguese-speaking countries publish a consensusdocument calling for the implication of doctors and allhealth professionals, in the global fight against the causesof these changes. This commitment requires the cooperation of health-related ...

Determinants of food consumption by University students

On lateral-longitudinal control coupling for short- and long-fuselage BWB aircr...

The coupling of the longitudinal and lateral stability modes of an aeroplane is considered in two cases: (i) weak coupling, when the changes in the frequency and damping of the phugoid, short period, dutch roll, and helical modes are small, i.e., the square of the deviation is negligible compared to the square of the uncoupled value; (ii) strong coupling, when the coupled values may differ significantly from th...

On the maximization of control power in low-speed flight

The present work extends existing knowledge on the subject in two directions: (i) on theoretical side by allowing for the deflections of multiple control surfaces, that gives more options to obtain the desired forces or moments with less risk of flow separation or aeroelastic effects; (ii) on the application side by considering not only minimum drag but also maximum drag (e.g. for fast descent) and maximum cont...

How to enable healthier and more sustainable food practices in collective meal ...

Collective meal contexts such as restaurants, cafeterias and canteens can help accelerate transitions to healthier and more sustainable diets. However, evidence from intervention studies on these contexts lacks integration. This scoping review aimed to map determinants of dietary change in collective meal contexts across multiple settings, interventions, target groups, and target behaviors. The review provided ...

Promoting plant-based eating in meat-centric meal contexts: A field study

Objective: Shifting from meat-centric to plant-rich diets may help to enable healthier and more sustainable food systems. Here we present the results of a 1-week intervention to promote plant-based eating in a meat-centric food context (i.e. canteen). Design: The intervention included environmental restructuring strategies (e.g. promotional materials and menu redevelopment) and improvements to the offer of plan...

Insights into parents' and teachers' support for policies promoting increased p...

Global environmental and public health challenges related to current food systems call for large-scale shifts towards increasingly plant-based diets, especially in Western meat-centric societies. School meal systems can play a role in these changes due to their widespread prevalence and multi-sectoral impact. However, there is a lack of evidence about how adults involved in the school meals system perceive scho...

On Probabilistic Risk of Aircraft Collision along Air Corridors

The separation of aircraft in cruising flight in air corridors is based on the assurance of an extremely low probability of collision due to position inaccuracy caused by navigation errors, atmospheric disturbances, or other factors. The appropriate standard is the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Target Level of Safety (TLS) of frequency of collision less than 5 × 10−9 per flight hour. An upper...

Enabling sustainable food transitions in schools: A systemic approach

Purpose Recent reviews and reports have highlighted the need for integrated, context-specific efforts to enable sustainable food transitions. This study aimed to identify pathways to promote healthier and more environmentally friendly food practices in school contexts, with a focus on increased plant-based eating. Design/methodology/approach The study used a systemic approach with data collected from relevant s...

Plant-based school meals as levers of sustainable food transitions: A narrative...

Current food systems face immediate and complex challenges in feeding a growing global population. It is necessary to mitigate the environmental impact of food systems while ensuring food security across the globe. Drawing on the example of recent multi-sectoral approaches which focus on the interconnections between public health and the environment, this work offers a narrative review and broader conceptual fr...
