background and objectives: this study was designed to investigate the association between parental behavior and the dietary intake of tehranian preschool children aged 2-6 years. materials and methods: in a cross-sectional study conducted on 310 children aged 2-6 years from the kindergartens of 22 districts of tehran, a qualitative validated 85-item food frequency questionnaire was completed by...

The aim of this study was to characterize the feeding behavior of the Guiana dolphin, S. guianensis, through description and quantification of the strategies used by the dolphins, and possibly to apply this patterns to other areas in its distribution. Data were collected during systematic boat surveys, between November/1996 and May/1997, with 120 hours and 13 minutes of total observations. Sche...

Previous studies in humans and animals have reported that nicotine administration decreases body weightand caloric intake. Opiate and cigarette have been used concomitantly as drug abuse. The aim of the present study was, therefore, to analyze the effect of chronic co-administration of nicotine and morphine on food intake, body weight and on some feeding-associated peptides. All experiments wer...

Objective: Parenting is an essential factor in causing ARFID. A good understanding of parenting, feeding,behavior, family, and nutrition can provide better care. The present study aimed to investigate parenting,feeding, action, food children with ARFID.Review: Relevant database for systematic search ARFID studies.Result: review results found that there were five important themes the case ARFID....

BACKGROUND During the last two decades, researchers have devoted considerable attention to the role of maternal feeding behaviors, practices, and styles in the development of obesity in young children. Little is known, however, about the consistency of maternal feeding across settings and time. The purpose of this paper was to provide data on this issue by examining the consistency of observed ...

BACKGROUND Inappropriate child feeding and caring practices are a major cause of malnutrition. To date, no studies have examined concordance and discordance of child feeding and preventive behavior and their predictors in developing countries. METHODS We used baseline data generated from A 2-year-longitudinal agriculture-nutrition panel survey conducted from February 9 to April 9, 2014, in ni...

THE FEEDING BEHAVIOR of various members of the genus Conus has been described (Kohn, 1956a, 1959, 1968; Kline, 1956; Nybakken, 1967). Piscivorous species of Conus, for which feeding behavior has been recorded, attack by extending their proboscises. From this extension a radular tooth used but once is injected into the prey, which is later swallowed. The feeding behavior of Conus geographus Linn...

Early identification of sick cattle increases treatment success and decreases mortality. Continuous automated records of behavior can be used to identify sick cattle early in the disease process. The objective was to evaluate accuracy of an ear-attached accelerometer (SensOor) that quantified ear movements and estimated feeding and rumination time through a proprietary algorithm. Accelerometers...
