Food purchase and eating behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic: A cross-sectional survey of Russian adults by Tarek Ben Hassen (15742605)

“…Indeed, the survey results suggested (i) a change in the modality of acquiring food, consumers reduced the number of shopping trips and buying more on each trip to minimize store visits; (ii) a surge of stockpiling of non-perishable food items; (iii) a shift toward healthier diets; (iv) an increase in culinary capabilities; (v) a decrease of food waste. The results are expected to inform current emergency plans as well as long-term food-related strategies in Russia.…”

Adaptive Effects of Seeing Green Environment on Psychophysiological Parameters When Walking or Running by Walid Briki (688845)

“…Study 2 showed that running in a green environment was associated with an increased level of perceived exertion at similar speeds (compared to other color conditions), while exposure to red induced a significant decrease in the level of tension. In both studies, the preferred gait speed was not affected by the colored environment which is discussed in relation to the energy-conservation principle. …”
