In this paper, we study which health conceptualisations are promoted or supported by intermittent fasting, no-carb-no-sugar, and endomorph Diet YouTubers and how they relate to existing definitions of health. In order to openly understand how YouTubers present health concepts, we will study health conceptualisations in YouTube diet videos qualitatively, through the use of thematic analysis. We identify five main themes: weight management, prior dietary awareness, diet literacy, quality of life, and the satisfaction of functional needs. We find that YouTubers substitute the WHO’s pursuit of a complete state of well-being by an implicit, tacit version of new health concepts. The tacit form allows them to stay practical and to focus on real-world dietary concerns, such as answers to the simple question “what should I eat to stay healthy?”. Diet YouTubers do not, however, neatly position themselves within existing health conceptualisations and they offer views on health that move beyond “formal” conceptualisations, including self-inspection, timing, preparation and planning and context-design. Differing from the universal definitions of health, the Diet YouTubers we studied target specific audiences with their presentations of healthy eating.
Within healthcare organization, the main goal of material procurement and inventory management is to reduce the cost associated with supplies without sacrificing the quality of patient care. In general, there are two ways to maintain supply level, i.e., joint procurement and direct purchase from the point-of-use location. For joint procurement, the demand of the associated point-of-use will place order to central warehouse. The other way is the order is directly place to the supplier by the individual department. The focus of this study is to examine the current procurement and inventory management and improve the inventory policies for central storeroom and induvial department. To maintain the service by setting new order policies. In this study, we define a performance indicator, supply-demand ratio to measure the improvement of the operation of procurement and inventory management. With new policy, holding cost and idle stock, and usage of space can be reduced meanwhile it can maintain its service level.
