Living in consumption corridors is a representation of everyday life whereby people live within limits, so that all people - now and in the future - can access what is needed to live a good life. In this special issue, a series of scholars and practitioners have come together to further develop the concept, engage with its ethodological implications, and relate it to consumption domains and policy implications. We begin by introducing how the concept emerged, in relation to the complexity of grappling with the societal transformations required for achieving more sustainable forms of consumption. We then present the different contributions, which demonstrate the importance of considering both maximum and minimum consumption standards, the relevance of human-need theories, as well as the difference between achieving wellbeing and the means necessary for doing so. We conclude by opening up to areas that merit further deliberation: how to relate consumption corridors to everyday-life dynamics, but also to the critical question of power relations at play in implementing consumption corridors.}, language = {en} } @article{Lorek2021, author = {Lorek, Sylvia}, title = {Equity within ecological limits - Grand Challenge for Sustainable Consumption}, series = {Frontiers in Sustainability}, journal = {Frontiers in Sustainability}, publisher = {Frontiers Media}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-16065}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-160657}, year = {2021}, language = {de} } @article{KreyenschmidtRoeslerRitter2021, author = {Kreyenschmidt, Judith and R{\"o}sler, Florian and Ritter, Guido}, title = {Recommendation of Good Practice in the Food-Processing Industry for Preventing and Handling Food Loss and Waste}, series = {Sustainability}, volume = {13}, journal = {Sustainability}, publisher = {MDPI}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-13969}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-139699}, pages = {9569 -- 9599}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Food-processing companies are controlled by societal influences and economic interests, but their efforts with regard to reducing food loss and waste are very different. This qualitative study aims to identify basic recommendations of good practice for the food-processing industry in order to prevent and handle food loss and waste. For this purpose, a comprehensive literature review was conducted in the field of food waste prevention and data was collected from thirteen German companies. The findings summarize the recommendations of good practice, which cover the entire supply chain from supplier to consumer and beyond. The analysis showed that the participating companies are already partially aware of operational measures, even if they are applied or mentioned without a systematic approach. Furthermore, the analysis revealed that most activities relate to internal matters, like processing, employees and utilization. However, the responsibility of foodprocessing companies does not end with internal processes to reduce food waste. The results show that some companies are already aware of their responsibility to be involved along the entire supply chain. Finally, the results show that the needs of consumers and suppliers must also be considered in order to reduce food waste, in addition to direct reduction measures. This paper highlights nine important stages and 53 basic recommendations for companies to address food loss and waste in order to improve their practices.}, language = {en} } @article{BaumeisterGardemannFobkeretal.2021, author = {Baumeister, Anna and Gardemann, Joachim and Fobker, Manfred and Spiegler, Verena and Fischer, Tobias}, title = {Short-Term Influence of Caffeine and Medium-Chain Triglycerides on Ketogenesis: A Controlled Double-Blind Intervention Study}, series = {Hindawi Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism}, volume = {Volume 2021, Article ID 1861567}, journal = {Hindawi Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-13806}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-138069}, pages = {1 -- 9}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Background. Ketone bodies are a highly relevant topic in nutrition and medicine. -e influence of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) on ketogenesis is well known and has been successfully used in ketogenic diets for many years. Nevertheless, the effects of MCTs and coconut oil on the production of ketone bodies have only partially been investigated. Furthermore, the increased mobilisation of free fatty acids and release of catabolic hormones by caffeine suggest an influence of caffeine on ketogenesis. Methods. In a controlled, double-blind intervention study, seven young healthy subjects received 10mL of tricaprylin (C8), tricaprin (C10), C8/C10 (50\% C8, 50\% C10), or coconut oil with or without 150 mg of caffeine, in 250mL of decaffeinated coffee, over ten interventions. At baseline and after every 40 minutes, for 4 h, ßHB and glucose in capillary blood as well as caffeine in saliva were measured. Furthermore, questionnaires were used to survey sensory properties, side effects, and awareness of hunger and satiety. Results. -e interventions with caffeine caused an increase in ßHB levels—in particular, the interventions with C8 highly impacted ketogenesis. -e effect decreased with increased chain lengths. All interventions showed a continuous increase in hunger and diminishing satiety. Mild side effects (total � 12) occurred during the interventions. Conclusions. -e present study demonstrated an influence of caffeine and MCTon ketogenesis. -eaddition of caffeine showed an additive effect on the ketogenic potential of MCT and coconut oil. C8 showed the highest ketogenicity.}, language = {en} } @article{Martinetal.2021, author = {Martin, Maria and ..., ... and ..., ... and Lorek, Sylvia and ..., ...}, title = {Ten new insights in climate science 2021: a horizon scan}, series = {Global Sustainability}, journal = {Global Sustainability}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-16066}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-160666}, year = {2021}, abstract = {A synthesis is made of 10 topics within climate research, where there have been significant advances since January 2020.
