Title: Calcium requirement and growth in the hatchling loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta L.).
Creator: Alexander, Jeanne Louise., Florida Atlantic University, Wyneken, Jeanette
Abstract/Description: The calcium requirement in captive-raised hatchling loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) was investigated. Comparisons were made among turtles on 6 experimental diets and between captive and wild turtles. Diets consisted of trout chow diets containing 1%, 2%, 3%, or 4% calcium and 1.65% phosphorous, AquaMax 500RTM (2% Ca), and shrimp. Feeding trials lasted 28 days and changes in body size and bone density were measured. The calcium and phosphorous content of foods eaten by post-hatchlings...
Show moreThe calcium requirement in captive-raised hatchling loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) was investigated. Comparisons were made among turtles on 6 experimental diets and between captive and wild turtles. Diets consisted of trout chow diets containing 1%, 2%, 3%, or 4% calcium and 1.65% phosphorous, AquaMax 500RTM (2% Ca), and shrimp. Feeding trials lasted 28 days and changes in body size and bone density were measured. The calcium and phosphorous content of foods eaten by post-hatchlings in the sargassum were compared with captive diets. Results showed that shrimp was high in protein and low in calcium, with nearly twice as much P as Ca. The growth trials showed that turtles fed shrimp versus all other diets grew larger. There was no difference in total bone density of any treatment over the study. No signs of hypocalcemia were present, therefore, no lower limit for calcium requirement was determined in this study.

Title: An exploration of the effectiveness of a phase approach to nutrition counseling using the transtheoretical and brief intervention models.
Creator: Grant, Kaye-Ann., Florida Atlantic University, Maslin-Ostrowski, Patricia
Abstract/Description: Registered dietitians, while knowledgeable in food and nutrition, are also intrinsically educators, a role that is now receiving in-depth exploration. As nutrition educators or counselors, dietitians have been stereotyped as food cops (Licavoli, 1995, p. 751); that is, individuals who provide the dos and don'ts list. Research in the area of nutrition education may foster movement away from this stereotype. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of traditional nutrition...
Show moreRegistered dietitians, while knowledgeable in food and nutrition, are also intrinsically educators, a role that is now receiving in-depth exploration. As nutrition educators or counselors, dietitians have been stereotyped as food cops (Licavoli, 1995, p. 751); that is, individuals who provide the dos and don'ts list. Research in the area of nutrition education may foster movement away from this stereotype. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of traditional nutrition counseling with stage-matched nutrition counseling by registered dietitians using clients in acute care settings while measuring behavioral and cognitive change outcomes. An experimental design using randomly assigned subjects to a control and two experimental groups was utilized. A pretest-posttest design was employed with a 3 month interval between the pretest and posttest. The treatment variables consisted of stage-matched intervention with feedback and stage-matched intervention without feedback. Subjects were recruited from the patient population of dietitians employed in the fourth largest public health care system in the United States based in Broward County, Florida. Two training sessions lasting 2 hours each focused on stage-matched intervention, and the research protocol was provided to prepare dietitians to work with the experimental groups. The small sample size limited the ability to generalize the findings, and interpretation of the study results was done within the context of this limitation. This study indicated the following trends: (a) subjects exposed to the NRCQ and the FRAMES model of intervention improved significantly from preintervention to postintervention compared with subjects not exposed; (b) prior to intervention, the majority of subjects were classified in Preaction Stages and postintervention classified in the Action Stage; (c) stage-matched changes were correlated with body mass index; and (d) there was no difference indicated in nutrient intake between subjects in the control and the experimental groups. Findings at this level were encouraging and consistent with the concepts of the transtheoretical model of change (TTM) and the FRAMES model. The TTM continues to be a growing area in the field of nutrition, and dietitians should receive early educational exposure so that it becomes an accepted part of the practice domain.

Abstract/Description: Nutrition has been implicated as an influence in the health of older adults. However, the nature of this relationship remains unclear. Dietary patterns mirror lifelong cultural and ethnic influences, and are also responsive to existing medical and economic conditions. Depression, isolation, and cognitive impairment have been associated with inadequate food intake in this age group.

Show moreNutrition has been implicated as an influence in the health of older adults. However, the nature of this relationship remains unclear. Dietary patterns mirror lifelong cultural and ethnic influences, and are also responsive to existing medical and economic conditions. Depression, isolation, and cognitive impairment have been associated with inadequate food intake in this age group. Recent concern about malnutrition, including obesity, has prompted a social-psychological approach to nutrition and aging research. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the relationship of self-actualization and social support to dietary quality. Data were obtained from 100 older adults, 60 to 83 years of age. Descriptive analysis of 24-hour dietary records revealed that many subjects, even those of moderate socioeconomic status, were at potential nutritional risk. Calcium, folacin, and zinc were below two-thirds of the Recommended Dietary Allowances. In addition, inadequate intakes of kilocalories and dietary fiber were observed. Small but significant associations were found between the predictor variables and dietary quality. Self-actualization, which was measured by the Personal Orientation Inventory, and social support, which was assessed by the Nutrition Support Questionnaire, accounted for no more than 10% of the variance in dietary quality. Furthermore, except for support from family, friends, and neighbors, relationships were not consistently observed for all measures of the criterion variable, which was defined by individual nutrient adequacy scores and an overall index. Within the exploratory context of the study, several intervening variables were examined. Education and decisions to make dietary changes appeared to positively influence self-actualization and dietary quality. Loneliness, depression, and chronic disease were among a cluster of variables that tended to exert a negative influence on self-actualization. A theoretical model of dietary quality in later adulthood was proposed. Further research is needed to test these linkages empirically.

Show moreSound health is critical to quality of life (Skevington, 2007). Acquisition of skills in self-determination and independence are integral to quality of life. Two facets that engender self-determination and independence for an individual are healthy food choice and food preparation (Koponen et al., 2019; Yaddaden et al., 2019). However, healthy food choice and food preparation have received scant attention as individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) continue to face health disparities and poor health status. The purpose of this dissertation was to explore single subject experimental studies conducted on healthy food choice and food preparation from 2005 to 2022 in peer-reviewed journals. The methodology utilized a journal hand search, database search, and ancestral search. The results indicate that of the combined search of over 75,000 articles, less than 1% involved healthy food choice and/or food preparation. The results also illuminate the paucity of the research on healthy food choice and reveal that food preparation is gaining more attention in the empirical literature. The limitations of the study and implications for practice and research are also discussed.

Title: Caloric restriction in Drosophila melanogaster.

Show moreCaloric restriction (CR), the reduction of nutrient intake short of malnutrition, extends the lifespan of various organisms and can improve measures of human health. Whether mechanisms of lifespan extension are conserved between humans and model organisms is unknown. In mammals, implementing CR is easily achieved by providing a restricted group with a fraction of the food consumed by an "ad libitum" fed group, which has unlimited food access. Due to the difficulty in directly controlling Drosophila food intake, caloric restriction, performed similarly to the mammalian paradigm, has never been tested in flies. Here, we demonstrate a system that allows measurement of food intake throughout life. This system will be used to measure fly lifespan under caloric restriction analogous to current mammalian studies. Our work will help tease apart the differences between the various caloric and dietary restriction paradigms in Drosophila, strengthening our understanding of how fly models relate to mammalian systems.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to determine the acute effects of caffeine supplementation on strength and muscular endurance in resistance-trained women. In a randomized manner, 15 women consumed caffeine (6 mg/kg) or placebo (PL) seven days apart. Sixty minutes following supplementation, participants performed a one repetition maximum (1RM) barbell bench press test and repetitions to failure at 60% of 1RM. Heart rate and blood pressure were assessed at rest, 60 minutes post-consumption, and immediately following completion of repetitions to failure. Repeated measures ANOVA indicated a significantly greater bench press maximum with caffeine (p<0.05) (52.9 « 11.1 kg vs. 52.1 « 11.7 kg) with no significant differences between conditions in 60% 1RM repetitions (p=0.81). Systolic blood pressure was significantly greater post-exercise, with caffeine (p<0.05) (116.8 « 5.3 mmHg vs. 112.9 « 4.9 mmHg). Our findings indicate a moderate dose of caffeine may be sufficient for enhancing strength performance in resistance-trained women.

I explore these diets and potential expressions of elitism within the framework developed by Morrison and Dunlap in their discussion of environmental elitism. Examples come from published sources as well as personal anecdotes. Through this study, I suggest that this perceived elitism is actually not elitism per se, but a very thin line of tension between describing the ideal food systems aside the current state of food inequity and industrial agriculture. Simply, I am trying to grapple with how to be educated in the fields of Food Studies and systems of oppression without perpetuating elitism alongside the system which desperately needs reform.
