“…They also, notably, find that last meals were either not requested or reported for 51 of the 247 people (21%) who were executed during that period in the United States. Most generally, these findings are consistent with previous research that demonstrates that significantly more modest forms of stress and social exclusion, which is shown at its extreme on death row, can influence people to eat increased amounts of comfort food [21,22].…”

Post hoc analyses of Rector v. Arkansas have regularly highlighted that the defendant requested that part of his last meal be saved so that he could it eat later. While the observation is typically raised as part of arguments that Rector was incompetent and unfit for execution, the more basic fact is that commentators have drawn important inferences about Rector's mental state from how he treated his last meal. In this essay, we draw upon multiple disciplines in order to apply the same inferential logic to a much broader sample and explore the question of whether traditionally customized last meals might offer signals of defendants' guilt or innocence. To investigate this, the content of last-meal requests and last words reported for people executed in the United States during a recent five-year period were examined. Consistent with the idea that declination of the last meal is equivalent to a signal of (self-perceived) innocence, those who denied guilt were 2.7 times as likely to decline a last meal than people who admitted guilt (29% versus 8%). Consistent with the complementary theory that people who admit guilt are relatively more "at peace" with their sentence, these individuals requested 34% more calories of food than the rest of the sample (2786 versus 2085 calories). A third finding is that those who denied guilt also tended to eat significantly fewer brand-name food items. Previous discussions of last meals have often lacked quantitative measurements; however, this systematic analysis shows that last meal requests offer windows into self-perceived or self-proclaimed innocence. Knowing one's last meal request and one's last words can provide valuable new variables for retrospectively assessing the processes that led to past executions.

“…Studenti su posebno osjetljiva populacija mladih ljudi, kojima je studiranje izazov što dovodi do promjene životnih navika, ali može utjecati i na stvaranje onih nezdravih prehrambenih (6,7). Nezdrave prehrambene navike kod studenata su najčešće preskakanje obroka, visoka konzumacija fast-food jela te nedovoljna konzumacija povrća i voća (8,9,10,11). Mnoge studije provedene u Europi su pokazale da studenti jedu manje povrća i ribe, a imaju veliki unos crvenog mesa i masnoća životinjskog podrijetla (12,13,14,15).…”

Tradicionalna mediteranska prehrana povezuje se sa smanjenim rizikom od nastanka mnogih kroničnih nezaraznih bolesti. Cilj ovog rada bio je utvrditi kakvoću prehrane studenata u Rijeci, odnosno odrediti pripadnost mediteranskom načinu prehrane uz pomoć dvaju indeksa za ocjenu mediteranskog načina prehrane: Mediteranskog indeksa kvalitete prehrane i Ocjene mediteranske prehrane. Metode: Istraživanje je provedeno od siječnja do svibnja 2018. godine i obuhvatilo je 455-ero studenata s riječkog Sveučilišta, 336 žena i 119 muškaraca. Podatci o dobi, tjelesnoj aktivnosti, antropometriji, pušenju i prehrambenim navikama dobiveni su iz anketnih upitnika. Za određivanje pripadnosti mediteranskom načinu prehrane primijenjena su dva indeksa: Mediteranski indeks kvali tete prehrane i Ocjena mediteranske prehrane. Rezultati: Prosječna ocjena kakvoće prehrane studenata ocijenjena prema Mediteranskom indeksu kvalitete prehrane iznosila je 9,61, što označava srednju do nedostatnu kakvoću prehrane. Prema Ocjeni mediteranske prehrane kakvoća prehrane ocijenjena je kao nedostatna i iznosila je 3,70. Žene su imale značajno bolji Mediteranski indeks kvalitete prehrane (9,36) od muškaraca (p<0,001) i studenti koji ne puše također su imali značajno bolji Mediteranski indeks kvalitete prehrane (9,11) od pušača (p<0,001). Zaključci: Prema dobivenom Mediteranskom indeksu kvalitete prehrane i Ocjeni mediteranske prehrane možemo zaključiti da je prehrana studenata ocijenjena srednjom do nedostatnom te je vidljivo kako postoji potreba za povećanjem pridržavanja mediteranskog načina prehrane te promjenom prehrambenih navika studenata. Prema dobivenim rezultatima postoji jasna potreba za stvaranjem programa promicanja zdravlja, s posebnim naglaskom na edukaciju o prehrani i na prehrambene navike.

“…Gojaznost je sve zastupljeniji problem u studentskoj populaciji, a istraživanja američkih autora su pokazala da je kritičan period za dobijanje prekomerne telesne mase početak studiranja [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Isti problem je zastupljen među studentima evropskih zemalja, pa tako 15,20 % italijanskih i 18,00 % španskih studenata ima prekomernu telesnu masu, a holandski istraživači su takođe brucoški period proglasili kritičnim [17][18][19][20].…”
