Pradana, Mahir. "Spanish Muslims' halal food purchase intention." Doctoral thesis, Universitat de Barcelona, 2021. http://hdl.handle.net/10803/670994.
Full textAbstract:
For centuries, halal is a spiritual concept that Muslims continue to follow in their daily lives, specifically when purchasing and consuming products. The Muslim community takes up a big part of the world population. The demand for halal food consumption is increasing rapidly in line with the expansion of the Muslim community with 2.1 billion Muslims worldwide. Halal food becomes a profitable business not only among the Muslim majority countries, but also in countries where the majority are non-muslims. Viewed from an Islamic perspective, the concept of halal is vital to a Muslim. Halal means "allowed" or "permitted" in Islam). Therefore, Muslims will look for products in accordance with accepted religious teachings. This is marked by the number of demands in the world for halal products that already have a Halal certification. Halal appeal displayed in a product becomes a distinctive attraction and identity from similar products that become competitors. This becomes one of the more explorable product marketing tools. Countries with Non-Muslims as their majority are also showing tremendous positive demand trends. With this, the demand for halal food is also noticeable. The demand for halal food consumption is increasing rapidly in line with the expansion of the Muslim community with 2.1 billion Muslims worldwide. The 'Halal' concept has become a new trend in the consumer goods industry, especially with food, and is gaining more popularity. The reason behind it being the fact that the halal concept is not just a purely religious issue, it is now also in the dynamic of business and trade. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors that influence purchase intention of halal food among Spanish Muslim consumers. This study aims to tackle questions on the perception of Muslim consumers in Spain towards halal food, and the intention to purchase the halal products, we also take into account the moderating role of religious involvement. This study also observes the mediating role of the halal attitude towards halal" between "halal consciousness" and "purchase intention"; and the moderating role of "religious involvement" between " attitude towards halal" and "purchase intention". Last, this thesis also study the effect of “halal consumers’ attitude” as a moderating variable to measure both indirect and direct effects of some constructs on purchase intention. Data were obtained from a survey of Muslim consumers living in various religions of Spain, then analysed using the partial least squares (PLS) technique. The results showed that product awareness does not have an effect on purchase intention while other constructs do, including the mediating effect of consumers' attitude towards halal label and moderating effect of religious involvement. This study thus contributes to the advancement of knowledge on factors that motivate the purchase intention of halal food.

Full textAbstract:
Food borne disease continues to be a significant public health concern. The increasing awareness of food borne illness intensifies the need for proper food safety education among food handlers. The objectives of this study were to develop bilingual (English/Spanish) food safety signs, to determine their comprehensibility and most effective delivery mechanism for presentation to food handlers. The food safety concepts developed into images were: cross-contamination, proper use of thermometer to check temperatures of foods, proper cooling of foods, and do not work with food if ill. The four food safety concepts were designed into three different formats: pictures and words (English/Spanish), pictures only, and lenticular (images that shift when viewed from different angles). The food safety signs were evaluated using forty-five individuals working in the food retail industry. The participants were divided into two groups according to native language (English/ Spanish). For comprehensibility of the food safety signs, 69% responses were noted as correct. The ranking of comprehensibility of the signs was: cross-contamination (93%), thermometer (84%), cooling (64%) and not working if ill (33%). A gap in the understanding of the two lowest scoring food safety concepts (cooling and ill) calls for food safety educational programs and materials that emphasize these concepts. Correct responses for sign presentation were as follows: pictures and words with (80%), pictures only (65%) and lenticular (62%). Comparison of three different formats indicated pictures with words as the most effective presentation. The results obtained can be used as the basics for designing effective food signage for food handlers.Master of Science in Life Sciences

In this report, I present my personal teaching philosophy and the instructional practices that I believe best contribute to a successful second language classroom. Comprising the teaching philosophy chapter are sections concerning: the role of the instructor, the three parameters of post-method pedagogy, the maximization of learning opportunities and minimalization of perceptual mismatches, the need for negotiated interaction, the promotion of learner autonomy, the teaching of higher order thinking skills, the advantages of contextualized input, and the development of students' cultural consciousness. The instructional practices chapter describes my approach to grammar instruction, vocabulary instruction and the implementation of authentic texts. To conclude, I offer a model five-day lesson plan, complete with structured pedagogical activities, contextualized to the theme of food, which will integrate the ideas and concepts discussed in the philosophy and practices chapters.

Full textAbstract:
Introducción: La inseguridad alimentaria se define como la falta de accesibilidad y asequibilidad de alimentos seguros y saludables a intervalos regulares. Ha sido una enorme carga de salud pública en Europa desde la crisis económica de 2008. Estudios anteriores han encontrado consecuencias negativas de la inseguridad alimentaria en la salud y el bienestar de los adolescentes.
Objetivo: Este estudio tiene dos objetivos principales. El primer objetivo fue la adaptación y validación del ‘Spanish Child Food Security Survey Module’ (CFSSM-S). El segundo objetivo fue examinar si la inseguridad alimentaria se asocia con un peor bienestar psicológico, la insatisfacción corporal, las alteraciones alimentarias y los malos hábitos alimentarios en adolescentes españoles.
Método: Se realizó un estudio transversal en una escuela de educación secundaria en Cataluña, España, con adolescentes, chicos y chicas (n = 426), de 12 a 16 años. Se utilizaron el CFSSM-S, indicadores del estado socioeconómico (SES) y otros cuestionarios validados en español para evaluar el bienestar psicológico, la imagen corporal, las alteraciones alimentarias y los hábitos alimentarios. Se empleó el MANCOVA para examinar las asociaciones entre la inseguridad alimentaria y las variables Se agregaron como variables de ajuste el SES, la riqueza familiar, el estatus de peso, la edad, el género y el origen.
Resultados: La bondad del ajuste para el modelo de un factor mediante análisis factorial confirmatorio, CFA (error de aproximación cuadrático medio = 0.038, índice de ajuste comparativo = 0.984, índice de Tucker – Lewis = 0.979 ) y la consistencia interna (ω = 0.95) fueron excelentes. La invariancia de la medida del CFSSM-S indicó que puede usarse en ambos sexos, en un amplio rango de edad en adolescentes y con diferentes categorías de estatus de peso, estatus socioeconómico y riqueza familiar. Las diferencias medias para el SES y la riqueza familiar revelaron una tendencia lineal que indica puntuaciones más altas de CFSSM-S en los participantes de menor SES y riqueza familiar. Se encontró que el 18.3% (1.9% = muy baja seguridad alimentaria y 16.4% = baja seguridad alimentaria) de los participantes en este estudio tenían inseguridad alimentaria. Los resultados indicaron un peor bienestar psicológico, una mayor insatisfacción corporal y un mayor deseo de adelgazar en adolescentes con inseguridad alimentaria.
Conclusión: El CFSSM-S es el primer instrumento español de inseguridad alimentaria validado en España con buenas propiedades psicométricas. También, por primera vez, un estudio en España ha examinado las consecuencias de la inseguridad alimentaria en la salud de los adolescentes, encontrando un peor bienestar psicológico, una mayor insatisfacción corporal y mayor deseo de adelgazar en los adolescentes españoles. Sería esencial realizar más estudios en España para confirmar las tasas de prevalencia de inseguridad alimentaria y también para prevenir problemas psicológicos y fisiológicos graves en adolescentes durante la edad adulta.Introduction: Food insecurity is defined as the lack of accessibility and affordability of safe and healthy foods at regular intervals. It has been a huge public health burden in Europe since the economic crisis in 2008. Previous studies have found negative consequences of food insecurity on adolescent health and wellbeing. Objective: This study focussed on two main objectives. The first objective was the adaptation and validation of the Spanish Child Food Security Survey Module (CFSSM-S). The second objective was to examine whether food insecurity is associated with poor psychological wellbeing, body dissatisfaction, disordered eating and poor dietary habits in Spanish adolescents. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a secondary school in Catalonia, Spain with adolescent boys and girls (n=426), aged 12-16 years. CFSSM-S, socioeconomic status (SES) indicators and other validated questionnaires in Spanish were employed to assess psychological wellbeing, body image, disordered eating and dietary habits. MANCOVA was employed to examine the associations between food insecurity and the variables. SES, family affluence, weight status, age, gender and ethnicity were added as adjustment variables. Results: The goodness-of-fit for the one-factor model with Confirmatory Factor Analysis, CFA (root- mean-square error of approximation = 0·038, comparative fit index = 0·984, Tucker–Lewis index=0·979) and internal consistency (ω=0·95) were excellent. The measurement invariance of the CFSSM-S indicated it could be used for both genders, a wide age range of adolescents and different categories of weight status, socioeconomic status SES and family affluence. The mean differences for SES and family affluence revealed a linear trend indicating higher CFSSM-S scores in participants of lower SES and family affluence. 18.3% (1.9%=very low food security and 16.4%=low food security) of participants in this study were found to be food insecure. The results indicated poor psychological wellbeing, greater body dissatisfaction and higher drive for thinness in food insecure adolescents. Conclusion: The CFSSM-S is the first validated Spanish food insecurity instrument in Spain with good psychometric properties. It is also for the first time that a study in Spain has examined the consequences of food insecurity on adolescent health and found poor psychological wellbeing and greater body dissatisfaction and drives for thinness in Spanish adolescents. It would be essential to conduct further studies in Spain in order to confirm the prevalence rates of food insecurity and also to prevent serious psychological and physiological issues for adolescents during adulthood.

Full textAbstract:
The general aim of this thesis is to analyse the possibility of developing synergies when connecting 3 different areas of research namely consumer behaviour, market research and artificial intelligence (AI). The three areas of research are very extensive. When analysing the potential links between them, a wide number of triple combinations arise. In addition, the number of combinations can also be increased when applied to different industries but the food retailing industry is selected as the framework of this thesis. A general overview of the three disciplines is developed. Firstly, consumer behaviour fundamentals are interpreted and reconsidered from a food retailer’s perspective. This constitutes one approach to the research in this thesis. Secondary, considering that learning from past data to anticipate shopping behaviours is a retailer’s focus of research, an overview of the main market research forecasting models and techniques is carried out. Thirdly, machine learning (AI subfield) is also explained in respect of its capability to perform forecasting tasks. Handling customer data is not easy. Information tends to be ambiguous, uncertain and incomplete. Moreover, the customer behaves differently according to his/her situation. Another AI subfield, fuzzy logic (Zadeh 1965) is also explained as it copes with the concept of partial truth. Having reviewed the three disciplines, the triple combination of ‘shoppers (household)’, ‘forecasting behaviours’ and ‘fuzzy learning’ aspects from each mentioned domain respectively are selected as illustrates the scope of this thesis. The empirical research consists of two experiments focused on forecasting shopper’s behaviour (in particular household shopping behaviour), in the food retailing industry using LAMDA (a fuzzy learning technique).The methodology of research is mainly based on data extracted from a Spanish Food Retailer’s (Supermarcats Pujol SA) databases. The first experiment is based on LAMDA’s supervised learning approach and provides a model to forecast the current customers who are going to defect when a competitor opens a supermarket in the same area. The second experiment is based on LAMDA’s unsupervised learning approach and provides a model to forecast the current customers who are going to buy online once the company launches the Website. Results indicate that marketing expert’s judgements are a key point when using learning techniques to forecast behaviours. Customers are not simple robots. People may change their behaviour according to their situation. The results show that when applying the adequacy degree (fuzzy logic concept), the forecasting accuracy increases considerably.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates Alphonso X's General Estoria, Estoria de Espanna, Cantigas de Santa María, Siete Partidas, and other writings in the alphonsine corpus to illustrate the concept of classification through diet. The work of this thesis is to reveal the gastronomic connections between central and peripheral relations in cartography. Through food symbolism and dietary behaviors, cuisine functions as the purveyor of an unrivalled sketch of a text’s characters and the social conditions of the text’s production. Once unraveled, these highly socialized norms of consumption confirm that diet and identity are inextricably linked and lead to a greater understanding of medieval Iberian cultural relations and attitudes revolving around food and the perception of the civility of the world.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis I ask whether food can be used to express Catalan national identity, and if so, in what ways this occurs. In doing so, I consider the lived realities of nationalist movements, rather than simply the ideas and political claims that inform such movements. The Catalan Autonomous Community in northeast Spain is an ideal place to research this issue, due to the strengthening of nationalist sentiments there in light of the rise in support for independence from Spain. I wished to see whether this had any effect on the connections between food and national identity (or gastronationalism). National identity and food are connected in many diverse and varied ways. Food culture allows us to reflect on national identity as a whole. Themes which commonly appear in nationalist discourse, such as cultural specificity, historicism, or landscape (to name but a few), also inform discussions of national food identity. In the present case, while other markers of identity (e.g. language) are also important, ideals of Catalan nationalism may take the guise of Catalan gastronationalism as well. The current pro-independence movement has had the effect of making Catalans more aware of their cultural symbols, including cuisine, which is now one of many such symbols that can be mobilized for the expression of national identity.

Full textAbstract:
Analyzing cookbooks, gastronomic guides, literature and film, this dissertationoutlines the creation of a Spanish national cuisine. Studying the works of Carmen de Burgos, Emilia Pardo Bazán, Dionisio Pérez, Ana María Herrera, Juan Mari Arzak and Ferrán Adrià among others, the project examines the evolution of this nationalist discourse by identifying common and recurring themes in an effort to extrapolate and describe the historical and cultural evolution of food from 1900 to the present day.
Within the framework of Food and Cultural Studies, this project treats cookbooks, culinary manifestos and guidebooks as texts. Influenced by a variety of culinary and gastronomic of critics such as Roland Barthes, Arjun Appadurai, Benedict Anderson, Stanley Mintz and others, this dissertation analyzes nationalism through the perspective of gastronomy as a cultural practice that contributes to individual and collective identity building.
This dissertation concludes that Spanish national cuisine has been defined as a unique, pluralistic blend of regional cuisines since the early twentieth century. While early authors such as Pardo Bazán admit to heavy French influence and the centralized hegemony of Madrid due to its privileged status as economic and political capital of Spain, most subsequent authors acknowledge that Spanish national cuisine is a construction of various regional influences and by the 1960s, this regional view of national cuisine is universally accepted. Shaped during the twentieth century by civil war, Francoism and globalization, Spanish cuisine today continues to be a blend of regional cuisines that mutually influence each other while also exhibiting the effects of a globalized world by incorporating non-Spanish ingredients and techniques into nationally accepted dishes.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the destructive effects of infidelity in the old-aged husband-the young wife marriages which end up with tragedy. In John Ford&rsquos Love&rsquo
s Sacrifice (1633) and Lope de Vega&rsquo
s Punishment Without Revenge (1631), tragedy turns out to be the inevitable consequence of the plays since the motives of jealousy, honour, revenge and love converge and lead people to commit sinful crimes. Within this scope, the first chapter of the thesis is devoted to the historical information about the state of English and Spanish theatres together with the biographies of the playwrights. In the second chapter, the tripartite relationship between jealousy, revenge, and honour is dealt with based upon examples from the primary sources in a historical framework. The reasons and results of these themes are studied through the characters in the plays. The third chapter covers the theme of love, its history and its influence on characters. In this chapter, the nature of love between the characters and its consequences are examined. The conclusion asserts that the old-aged husband and the young wife create a mismatched union and accompanied with the motives of honour, jealousy and revenge, the institution of marriage breeds tragic consequences. The analysis of the above mentioned themes is based on a historical context and it is also concluded that although Love&rsquo
s Sacrifice (1633) and Punishment Without Revenge (1631) belong to the Renaissance age, both plays bear the influences of the Greco-Roman drama tradition. Thus, the similarities and differences between classical and Renaissance tragedy are demonstrated.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse a deux objectifs principaux. En premier lieu, on voudrait offrir un aperçu des connaissances académiques actuelles, tant théoriques qu'empiriques, des processus d’accommodation linguistique entre interlocuteurs, au sens général, et des caractéristiques rythmiques de la langue espagnole, en particulier. En second lieu, on présente deux études empiriques conçues pour analyser l’influence de la régularité rythmique au niveau des phrases et de l’arrangement phonologique sur les processus d’accommodation linguistique. Dans l'ensemble, les données rassemblées dans cette thèse indiquent que les phrases avec un rythme régulier, disposées en groupes accentuels, produisent une plus grande ressemblance entre les hispanophones en matière de rythme et de l’étendue de la F0, par rapport aux phrases avec un rythme irrégulier et aux phrases disposées en pieds accentuels. De plus, certains faits connus concernant les femmes ayant une moyenne de F0 supérieure, une étendue de F0 plus large, et un débit de parole plus lent quant aux hommes ont également été observés au cours de la première expérience. En outre, une valeur inférieure de la moyenne de F0 et une étendue de F0 plus étroite ont été observées lors de l’utilisation de phrases avec un rythme régulier et de phrases disposées en groupes accentuels, par rapport aux conditions expérimentales opposées. En ce qui concerne la tâche de perception, les phrases des dyades mixtes ont été notées de manière plus similaire les unes aux autres par rapport aux phrases des dyades de femmes et des dyades d’hommes (parmi d'autres résultats trouvés)This thesis has two principal aims. In the first place, we would like to offer an overview of the current academic knowledge, both theoretical and empirical, of the processes of linguistic accommodation between interlocutors, in a general sense, and of the rhythmic characteristics of the Spanish language, in particular. In the second place, we present two empirical studies designed to analyze the influence of sentence-level rhythmic regularity and phonological phrasing on the processes of linguistic accommodation. Taken together, the data gathered in this thesis indicate that regular rhythmic sentences, arranged in accentual groups, generate a greater amount of resemblance between Spanish speakers in terms of rhythm and F0 range, with respect to irregular rhythmic sentences and sentences arranged in accentual feet. Moreover, a lower value of F0 mean and a narrower F0 range were observed during the use of both regular rhythmic sentences and sentences arranged in accentual groups compared to the opposite conditions. In addition, some known facts related to women having a higher F0 mean, a wider F0 range, and speaking slower regarding men were also found during the first experiment. As for the perceptual task, sentences of mixed dyads were rated more similar to each other with respect to sentences of female only and male only dyads (among other patterns found)

La mayor parte de los estudios de la traducción de rasgos orales se ha enfocado en investigar la oralidad ficticia en obras occidentales pertenecientes al canon literario. Existen pocos estudios que abarcan la traducción de tradiciones orales, sobre todo de obras de América Latina. En el Perú, precisamente, las literaturas orales han sido excluidas por el canon. En este contexto, se inserta Cuentos del tio Lino, una recopilación de cuentos de Contumazá, en la provincia de Cajamarca, que presenta en el medio escrito las características orales del género andino willakuy y la variación lingüística de dicha zona. Por tanto, esta investigación busca analizar de qué manera se tradujeron al inglés los rasgos orales pragmáticos del willakuy presentes en esta obra. Para lograr este objetivo, se realizarán tanto un análisis de contenido como un análisis contrastivo. En la primera parte, se identificarán los rasgos del willakuy, los rasgos dialectales del español andino y los rasgos pragmáticos del lenguaje oral en el texto fuente. En la segunda parte, al momento de comparar las versiones en español e inglés, se identificarán las técnicas de traducción y los rasgos pragmáticos del lenguaje escrito. A través de este análisis, se podrá determinar si los rasgos orales pragmáticos de la obra han sido estandarizados o no en la traducción, ya que, en inglés, se suelen omitir las referencias culturales ajenas de manera que se presenta un texto meta fluido y domesticado. Dicha estandarización podría suprimir el estilo de narración del texto fuente y su función cultural.Most research on the translation of oral features has focused on studying fictive orality in western texts within the literary canon. There are a few studies about the translation of oral traditions, especially in Latin American texts. In Peru, oral literature has been excluded from the canon. In this context, we find The Tales of Old Uncle Lino—a stories compilation from Contumazá, in the province of Cajamarca. Both the oral features from the Andean literary genre willakuy, and the local dialect can be found in the writing of these tales. This study therefore aims to analyze how the willakuy’s pragmatic oral features in the source text were translated into English. For this purpose, content and contrastive analyses will be conducted. Firstly, willakuy’s characteristics, Andean Spanish’s dialect features, and oral language’s pragmatic features will be identified in the source text. Then, the translation techniques and the features of written language will be determined while comparing the Spanish and English versions. By examining these aspects, this study will determine if the oral features of the source text were standardized or not in the translation, since foreign cultural references are often omitted in English in order to show a fluent domesticated text. This standardization could eliminate the source text’s particular narrative style and its cultural function.

There are different tests to know and measure linguistic development in these ages, however, these tests have been designed considering cultural and linguistic criteria of the place where they were created. The aim of this study is to psychometrically adapt the Preschool Language Screening-5 Spanish Screening Test (PLS-5 Spanish Screening Test) to identify children who require a deep language assesment so they can have a diagnosis and timely intervention. This investigation is of a quantitative approach, of a descriptive type and with a simple descriptive design. The Preschool Language Screening-5 Spanish Screening Adapted Test was applied to 134 children from 4 years to 5 years 11 months, from educational institutions of public and private management of the district of Santiago de Surco. The test went through an evaluation of judges, after the modification of the items to validate the changes made and the data obtained passed a statistical analysis to determine the reliability of the adapted test. It is concluded that the adapted version fulfills the characteristics of validity and reliability, increasing its effectiveness for the identification of children of 4 and 5 years of the district of Santiago de Surco at risk of having a difficulty in the development of language.

La traducción del castellano al quechua es una actividad que después de aproximadamente dos siglos ha ganado una vez más importancia en el Perú. En gran parte se debe a la promulgación de la Ley de Lenguas Indígenas del Perú, que establece que todo documento oficial debe estar traducido a la lengua del territorio donde se emita. Ante esto, el Estado decidió impartir programas de capacitación para traductores e intérpretes de lenguas originarias, entre ellas el quechua. Los traductores de quechua cumplen un rol importante en la sociedad y su labor es compleja por razones lingüísticas y culturales inherentes a esta lengua originaria. Sin embargo, existen muy pocos estudios que han investigado su proceso de traducción. En este contexto, el presente estudio cualitativo se ha enfocado en analizar las estrategias traslativas comunes y distintas de traductores castellano-quechua mediante estrategias establecidas por la traductología que sirven como instrumento de análisis para clasificarlas. Para ello, se realizaron entrevistas a siete traductores que residen en Lima. Los resultados reflejan que las estrategias más frecuentes son préstamos, filtros culturales, paráfrasis, neologismos con nuevo sentido, cambios en la estructura de la frase y naturalizaciones. Asimismo, se hallaron factores que los participantes consideraron para escoger sus estrategias: el receptor, la finalidad de la traducción, los requerimientos del cliente, la cultura y el contexto. Adicionalmente, se encontraron perspectivas comunes de los traductores al emplear dichas estrategias.Translating from Spanish into Quechua is an activity that, after approximately two centuries, has gained importance in Peru again. This is largely due to the enactment of the Peruvian Indigenous Languages Act, which establishes that all official documents must be translated into the language of the territory where they are issued. Given this situation, the Peruvian government started to provide training programs for translators and interpreters of indigenous languages, including Quechua. Quechua translators play an important role in society and their work is complex because of linguistic and cultural aspects inherent in this indigenous language. However, there are very few studies that have researched their translation process. In this context, the present qualitative research has focused on analyzing different and common translation strategies of Spanish-Quechua translators employing strategies established by Translation Studies, which serve as a tool for analysis that helps to classify them. To this end, we conducted interviews with seven translators residing in Lima. The results reflect that the most frequent strategies are loan, cultural filtering, paraphrase, neologism with new senses, phrase structure change and naturalization. Likewise, we found that there are factors that participants considered to choose their strategies: receiver, purpose of translation, client's requirements, culture, and context. Furthermore, we discovered that translators shared common viewpoints related to those strategies.

Full textAbstract:
This report observes food commercials within children programming on English and Spanish television networks (cable channels and broadcast channels). With advertisements greatly influencing food consumption, this repost was based on the assumption that Spanish advertisements tailored to Hispanics differed from English advertisements in frequency and content. If so, could this be a contributing factor as to why Hispanic children tend to be more overweight compared to their general market? Through observation, analysis and reviewing past studies, this report established that there is a difference of frequency and content within food commercials aired on the two television categories. However, the difference was unexpected. In reality, Spanish channels air more PSAs and fewer food commercials compared to English networks. Besides the different frequency of food advertisements on these channels, the intended audiences also differed within Spanish and English television.text

Full textAbstract:
In my dissertation I propose that the detailed representation of food and eating in seventeenth-century Spanish art and literature has a double purpose: to reaffirm a state of well-being in Spain, and to show a critical position, because artistic creations emphasize those subjects who, because of social status or cultural background, do not share such benefits. This double purpose explains why literature and painting stress the distance between foodstuffs and consumers, turning food into a commodity that cannot be consumed directly, but through its representation and value. Cervantes's writing is invoked because, especially in Don Quixote, readers can see how the protagonist rejects food for the sake of achieving higher chivalric values, while his companion, Sancho Panza, faces the opposite problem: having food at hand and not being able to enjoy it, especially when he achieves his dream of ruling an island. The principle is similar in genre painting: food is consumed out of the picture in still lifes, or out of the hands of the represented characters in kitchen scenes, for they are depicted cooking for others. Because of the distance between product and consumer, foodstuffs indicate how precedence and authority are established and reproduced in society. In artistic representations, these apparently unchangeable principles are mimicked by the lower classes and used to establish parallel systems of authority such as the guild of thieves who are presented around a table in a scene of Cervantes's exemplary novel "Rinconete and Cortadillo." Another problem to which the representation of foodstuffs responds is the inclusion of New Christians from different origins. In a counterpoint with the scenes in which precedence is discussed, and frequently through similar aesthetic structures, Cervantes and his contemporaries create scenes where the Christian principle of sharing food and drinking wine together is the model of inclusion that dissolves distinctions between Old and New Christians. I argue that this alternative project of community can be related to the expulsion of the Moriscos from Spain, decreed in 1609, because this event made many subjects interrogate themselves about their own status and inclusion. An artistic model of response to these interrogations about belonging is the figure of the roadside meal, which appears as the main motif of a meal shared by Sancho and a self-proclaimed Christian Morisco in the second part of Don Quixote, and reappears in a painting by Diego de Velázquez, which presents in the foreground a dark-skinned servant working in a kitchen, and in the background another roadside meal: the Supper at Emmaus. Both in literature and painting the way of preparing meals, eating and drinking creates ties, establishes a different principle of belonging, and promotes unity. In this alternative model characters are recognized as subjects of the kingdom as long as they eat and drink the way Christians do. Even though this model still leads to a single Christian kingdom, paintings and writings suggest a different form of cohesion, in which subjects are considered equal and recognize each other because of their participation.

Full textAbstract:
NoThis article examines the labour relations practices of multinational corporations (MNCs) in the German and Spanish quick-food service sectors. The demand for greater profitability and lower costs is leading to a greater standardization of work methods across a widening range of food service operators, resulting in the gradual elimination of more expensive, skilled and experienced workers, and an increasingly non-union approach in employee relations practices. The outcome involves increasing standardization, union exclusion, low trust, low skills, and low pay. These sectoral characteristics appear to outweigh both country-of-origin and host-country effects. The findings therefore confirm continuing variation within national industrial relations systems and the importance of sectoral characteristics and organizational contingencies in understanding MNC cross-border behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
Nineteenth-century, Europeans experienced the rise of gastronomy alongside the rise of the modern nation-state. These two concepts were tied together inextricably by the intense consideration of national cuisines. Thus, the topic of food -- the judgment of food -- embedded and extended social commentary of the "other." Sensorial experience contributed to discourse, which expressed not only an awareness of aesthetics (traceable to the palate) but also a reflective characterization of those who ate the food. For England and the United States, the nineteenth-century witnessed moments of unrivaled power while the once-global power, Spain, was economically and politically anemic.
Food becomes the axis point of three converging spectra: the senses which inform the individual with external environments and nationalism as discourse that creates understanding of the world; internal and external identities, meaning diet as tied to one's constitution and national cuisines reflecting culture; and the role of the historical memory in creating the political imagination. Through these concepts, the individual body and the body politic would be the material understanding of conceptual ideas.
Eating is unique as the only act that employs all of the senses. Boundaries are crossed, and the individual becomes part of the collective. With these reoccurring themes, I argue that the boundaries of the past, of geography, and the body become ways a perceived knowledge and truth about Spain was created. By using a range of sources, which include material culture, cookbooks, and travelogues, and by paying particular attention to how sensorial experiences are portrayed, we can better understand the prominent connection of food and power.
Spain's unique position -- of having 700 years of Islamic occupation and a failed empire from the "Spanish decadence" -- allowed the Spanish to consider who they were as a nation and for outsiders to reify the stagnate status of Spain, supported by economic and political evidence. By portraying Spain as romantic and savage, but also impotent, nineteenth-century English and American writers limited its cultural identity as inert and unprogressive; Spain's limited food supply and cuisine – good or bad –reflected a national character of stunted development that was circulated, reinterpreted and translated.

Full textAbstract:
Feedback has been defined as “helpful information or criticism that is given to someone to say what can be done to improve a performance, product, etc.” (Merriam-Webster, 2014) Within the field of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) researchers have shown that language learners acquire languages best when they are provided with feedback (Gass & Selinker, 2008; Loewen, 2012). Because of the importance of feedback to the language learning process, there is an ongoing line of investigation that seeks to determine whether differences in how and when feedback is provided lead to different results in acquisition (Loewen, 2012). To date this research has primarily been focused on comparing the effectiveness of the different types of feedback that naturally occur within language classrooms, as identified by such classic studies as Lyster and Ranta (1997; Bargiela, 2003). However, there are other possible approaches to feedback than those that naturally occur within the language classroom. One of these alternatives is the approach to feedback used in digital games. Similar to what is found in the field of SLA, within the field of digital game research it has been established that feedback is important for successful learning (Schell, 2008). Nevertheless, to date no research has been conducted which compares the SLA approach to feedback and the digital game approach to feedback in order to determine which would lead to better language acquisition within a digital game. Answering this question is the goal of the present dissertation. In order to answer this question I created two versions of a digital game, called “Mundo de Comida” (MuCo) ‘World of Food’, which is designed to help novice Spanish learners acquire food vocabulary. One version of the game employs feedback strategies based on the most commonly employed feedback used in Spanish language classes, while the other uses feedback designed according to the most commonly used feedback mechanisms in commercial digital games. A comparison of the vocabulary gains according to feedback type allows us to see which type of feedback seems to help learners of Spanish acquire vocabulary within the context of MuCo. The findings indicate that MuCo does indeed help participants acquire food vocabulary. However, there is no significant difference in the effectiveness of the two different feedback types, which is likely due to the fact that both feedback types have been refined within their respective environments. Nevertheless, there is evidence to suggest that participants found the game that contained the digital game-style feedback to be more game-like than the other version. It was also found that, for several participants, MuCo did motivate them in the sense that they played more of the game than was required. Finally, there was no significant effect found for the participants’ self-reported gaming habits, personalities, or motivation. These findings suggest that well-designed digital games can help learners acquire Spanish vocabulary, and that the impact of differences among participants is negligible when the game is well designed.text
