“…The paradox with the date label is that even though it was put in place to enhance consumer knowledge, enabling buyers to judge the safety and quality of industrialized food (Milne 2012), over time it has muddled our (sensory) knowledge of food itself. Many scholars have pointed out that consumers have come to depend on it in such a way, that today the expiration date is often trusted more than one's own senses and therefore directly related to undesired food waste (see Evans 2012;Møller et al 2014;Aschemann-Witzel et al 2015;Elstad Stensgård and Hanssen 2015;Stilling Bilchfeldt, Mikkelsen, and Gram 2015;Yngfalk 2016;Aschemann-Witzel et al 2018;Mattila et al 2018). However, with the current discussion about food waste, cracks in the black box of the date label are becoming visible.…”

“…Let us look at the predictions first and take the average supermarket temperature as an example. While in Sweden, the average supermarket storage temperature of eight degrees Celsius allows a shelf life of only eight days, the lower four degrees Celsius in Norway allow fourteen days (Møller et al 2014). Here, knowledge of the technological conditions which the milk will meet makes a prediction of the shelf life possible.…”

We confront the expiration date whenever we shop, eat or discard food. This label has changed our foodways in profound and unforeseen manners, on the one hand increasing food safety while on the other reducing our sensory ability to judge food, thus leading to an increase in food waste. Only by understanding how the quality and expiration date of a product are interrelated and co-constructed by different actors, technologies and practices throughout the food chain, might we gain a better understanding of the phenomenon and be able to find solutions to a growing food waste problem. Based on ethnographic research at different locations, I will open the black box of the date label to unravel its internal complexities. I will show how human and non-human actors are entangled and connected via the expiration dateon the one hand co-constructing the double black box that hides the properties of the product milk and on the other being strongly influenced by their own construction.

“…Audiology-related healthcare, including provider training, care financing, and service delivery, varies across the world. While most patients worldwide rely on private insurance or self-funded care, many countries (e.g., United Kingdom (UK), Australia, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, France, among others) provide public insurance for audiology services ( Moller, 2016 ; Yong et al, 2019 ). Audiology education also differs between countries ( Goulios & Patuzzi, 2008 ), and between private and public sectors.…”

Factors Affecting the Use of Speech Testing in Adult Audiology

et al. 2022

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate hearing health care professionals' (HHPs) speech testing practices in routine adult audiology services and better understand the facilitators and barriers to speech testing provision. Design: A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted. Study Sample: A sample ( N = 306) of HHPs from the public (64%) and private (36%) sectors in the United Kingdom completed the survey. Results: In the United Kingdom, speech testing practice varied significantly between health sectors. Speech testing was carried out during the audiology assessment by 73.4% of private sector HHPs and 20.4% of those from the public sector. During the hearing aid intervention stage, speech testing was carried out by 56.5% and 26.5% of HHPs from the private and public sectors, respectively. Recognized benefits of speech testing included (a) providing patients with relatable assessment information, (b) guiding hearing aid fitting, and (c) supporting a diagnostic test battery. A lack of clinical time was a key barrier to uptake. Conclusions: Use of speech testing varies in adult audiology. Results from this study found that the percentage of U.K. HHPs making use of speech tests was low compared to that of other countries. HHPs recognized different benefits of speech testing in audiology practice, but the barriers limiting uptake were often driven by factors derived from decision makers rather than clinical rationale. Privately funded HHPs used speech tests more frequently than those working in the public sector where time and resources are under greater pressure and governed by guidance that does not include a recommendation for speech testing. Therefore, the inclusion of speech testing in national clinical guidelines could increase the consistency of use and facilitate the comparison of practice trends across centers.

“…According to a report published by the Nordic Audiological Society (NAS) in 2014 significant differences were observed in the organization of hearing rehabilitation across the five Nordic countries, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland (Möller, 2016). The report encapsulated a review of various documents related to hearing rehabilitation from each Nordic country, authored by representative authors or designated workgroups.…”
