- 公共卫生与营养
- 粮食系统中的环境可持续性
- 儿童保育 营养 儿童保育 营养
背景情况:
- 儿童保育服务是重要的食品供应商,影响儿童健康和环境.
- 需要了解这些环境中当前的环境可持续 (ES) 和健康食品供应实践.
- 关于澳大利亚儿童保育中食品废弃物管理和采购策略的数据有限.
研究的目的:
- 描述澳大利亚维多利亚州儿童保育服务中的环境可持续和健康食品供应实践.
- 评估食物浪费水平,并确定影响食物浪费的因素.
- 探索食物浪费意识与实际食物浪费实践之间的关系.
主要方法:
- 一项涉及儿童保育服务提供现场食品的在线调查的横截面研究.
- 分析ES食品供应实践调查数据 (季节性/本地采购,废物管理,成本).
- 在服务子组中对食物浪费 (总量,份量,盘子) 进行权衡审计.
主要成果:
- 只有8%的服务机构进行了食品废弃物审计;经过审计的服务机构的板块废弃物明显减少 (7%对17%).

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

01:29Environmental Influences on Intelligence
321
Despite the strong genetic influence on traits like intelligence, environmental factors significantly shape outcomes. For example, while over 90% of height variation is due to genetic differences, environmental factors such as nutrition also have a notable impact. Similarly, for intelligence, changes in a child's surroundings can significantly alter their IQ. Research shows that enriched environments boost children's academic success and help them develop key cognitive skills. Children...

01:30Socioemotional Development during Infancy
65
Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy. By examining temperament, researchers can better understand an infant's unique ways of interacting with the world, influencing subsequent personality and socio-emotional growth.

01:21The Nativist Approach
79
The nativist approach to infant cognitive development proposes that infants are born with inherent knowledge structures that allow them to interpret the world almost immediately. This perspective contrasts with earlier developmental theories, such as those proposed by Jean Piaget, which emphasized a more gradual acquisition of cognitive abilities through interaction with the environment. One key concept in this approach is object permanence — the understanding that objects continue to...
