Whose business is it anyway? Distributing responsibilities between family members and formal carers
Authors: Jolanki Outi
Published: July 2015

This study reports on a discourse analysis of how responsibilities for the care of older people are defined and distributed in the interview talk of working caregivers in Finland. The analysis focuses on how the interviewees depict their encounters with professionals (e.g. social and health care workers) and the responsibilities attached to the position of a family member versus professional. The theme is examined against the backdrop of broader Finnish and European discussions about the development of welfare society, the relations between the state and individual citizens as well as discussions about older people's care needs. Data were obtained by face-to-face interviews. In the interview talk, the roles of the professionals range from authorities and experts who ally with family members to adversaries or failing experts whose actions require involvement of the client's family members. Being a trustworthy professional requires not only having expert knowledge and technical skills but taking overall responsibility for the well-being of the client. The findings show that family members categorize professionals as competent or as failing to fulfil their responsibilities. The central question is whether both parties have an equal opportunity to express their views and whether open communication is possible to develop professional decision-making and client interaction.
“Getting placed” in time
Authors: Matarese Maureen T.
Published: July 2015

This study describes one caseworker's construction of responsibility through her interactions with three homeless clients in an urban homeless shelter, revealing the significant impact of the shelter, shelter policy, and personal contexts on the construction of responsibility in talk. It explores how responsibility is constructed through a series of discursive choices, including deontic modality, personal pronouns, expressions of time and space, and accounts. These discursive choices expose the ways in which the caseworker's responsibility talk changes depending on the category of client. Specifically, the study compares the caseworker's responsibility talk with an undocumented homeless client to her responsibility talk with long-term staying clients. Given policy mandates to place long-term clients (in shelter nine months or longer) more quickly, responsibility talk with these clients as they near the nine-month benchmark is more aggressive. The study shows how the caseworker's talk with the new undocumented client surprisingly resembles her talk with the long-term clients nearing the nine-month benchmark. She discursively treats this new undocumented client like persisting ones. ‘Imagined time’ and ‘imagined space’ are introduced to aid in describing the projected, future non-compliance of a new undocumented client as established in the caseworker's responsibility talk.
Construing professional norms in journalism
Authors: Solin Anna
Published: July 2015

This article explores the way journalists construe their sense of professional responsibility when they talk about practices of writing news, and particularly news about environmental risks. Reporting on risks is ubiquitous in the press and can be assumed to be influential both as agenda-setting and as a source of public information and advice. The article discusses two salient norms of newswork, accuracy and autonomy, in relation to risk reporting. It analyses how journalists align themselves with such norms while also orienting to competing norms, such as the need to produce a competitive news product. The data consist of four interviews with environment and science journalists working in the UK quality press. The interview data are analysed from a discourse studies perspective. Salient tensions which emerge in the data are the tension between accuracy (e.g. avoiding exaggeration) and news values (e.g. the value of unambiguity) and the tension between autonomy and the need to produce stories which ‘interest the editor’. While ethical ideals are not construed as irrelevant, they are positioned as in conflict with local demands on writing, such as lack of time and editorial gatekeeping.
Responsibility and the conventions of attribution in news agency discourse
Authors: Stenvall Maija
Published: July 2015

The paper examines conventions of attribution in the discourse of two global news agencies, AP (the Associated Press) and Reuters, from the point of view of responsibility. In news agency reporting, the notion of responsibility is central on various intertwining levels. At the macro-level, news agencies bear responsibility as powerful distributors of news. They are important agenda-setters for other media and, to a great extent, also responsible for creating and reinforcing conventions of news writing. At the micro-level, the study explores two kinds of responsibility in the attribution of claims: the responsibility of news actors, i.e. those who have been quoted in news reports, and that of journalists. The analysis illustrates how the traditional structure of a news report affects attribution routines. Discontinuous topic realization, together with the tendency of proceeding from general to specific, opens up various rhetorical options to the journalist and can lead to ambiguity. The study further deals with the complex issue of sharing responsibility between the journalist and the news actor, for examples when sources remain anonymous.
Who has the power to act in the world? Social actors, agency and voice in a Catholic newspaper
Authors: Tusting Karin
Published: July 2015

This paper investigates the construction of social responsibility in a sample of articles taken from The Universe, a popular Catholic newspaper, in the late 1990s. It explores the representation of society, agency, voice, and social responsibility in a selection of articles dealing with social issues. The analysis identifies the principal social actors referred to in the texts; which of these are constructed as playing active roles; which are given voice; and for what purposes this voice is used. A distinctive pattern of construction of social responsibility is identified, in which there are three main groups of social actors: those who need help; those who are in a position to provide help (principally Governments, politicians, and multinational organisations); and those who speak on behalf of the former to the latter (principally Church organisations). I argue that this constructs a representation of the world in which the power and responsibility to act for change is largely held by elite groups, and the role of activist organisations is largely to appeal to the powerful to change things. Ordinary people watch this happening, and those disadvantaged groups who are acted for in these texts have little or no voice or active agency.
Negotiating parental/familial responsibility in genetic counselling
Authors: Thomassen Gøril , Sarangi Srikant , Skolbekken John-Arne
Published: July 2015

The notion of responsibility is central in healthcare encounters, especially when it involves decisions about others, e.g., parents making decisions for children's wellbeing. In the context of genetic counselling, given the familial basis of genetic disorders, decisions surrounding offer/uptake of genetic testing to determine the risk status of children become salient. Previous studies have shown that both genetic counsellors and parents routinely orient to others’ perspectives. Extending Pilnick's (2001) finding that genetic counsellors allude to ‘what other people do’, Sarangi's (2010) proposal which distinguishes between ‘family-others’ and ‘general-others’ vis-à-vis role-responsibility offers a useful framework to examine how parental/familial responsibility is contingently negotiated between genetic counsellors and parents. Our data consist of 20 genetic counselling sessions within a hospital department of medical genetics in Norway. The parents are either affected by cancer or at a high risk of inheriting cancer because of family history. Using discourse analysis we demonstrate how parental responsibility is framed and responded to differentially to cover genetic risk assessment, the testing process and the dissemination of test results. Our findings indicate that counsellors tend to be more directive about the process of decision making, which may amount to shifting attention from at-risk children to the parents themselves. We link our findings to the professional ethos of (non)directives in genetic counselling.
Owning responsible actions/selves
Authors: Sarangi Srikant
Published: July 2015

This paper offers a role-relational perspective on responsibility, as a complement to the agency-and-intentionality dimension usually associated with responsible action. A role-relational perspective foregrounds a dynamic notion of role vis-à-vis self-other relations in owning responsible actions/selves. I use the conduct, and by adopting a thematic discourse analytic framework, the findings suggest that parental accounts orient towards the following: balancing of advantages and disadvantages of childhood testing; benefits of knowing for present and future purposes; and the role-relational work counselling context of childhood genetic testing as a way of illustrating the complex role-relational trajectories which underpin parental accounts of moral and causal responsibility. Drawing upon the distinction between ‘excuse’ and ‘justification’ in accounting for underpinning the decision about testing. Although articulation of moral and causal responsibility is nuanced in parental accounts, justifications for actions/decisions mainly take the form of causal responsibility, expressed typically in the ‘if-then’ format.
Chimney Rock and the Ontology of Skyscapes
Authors: McKim Malville J.
Published: July 2015

Because of its architectural style and excellent masonry, the Great House of Chimney Rock in southwestern Colorado has been identified as one of some 225 outliers of the Chaco Regional System. Located just below the spectacular double rock towers, the Great House is set in a dramatic and unique skyscape containing a number of sight-lines to extremes of the Sun and Moon. Once considered important as a calendrical station, which communicated astronomical information southward to Chaco Canyon, the Great House may have been primarily important as a place for viewing the juxtaposition of the gods of earth and sky, a theophany similar to that of darśan of India. This paper proposes that the initial identification of a number of skyscapes as horizon calendars and calendrical stations should be reconsidered in the perspective of animism and alternate ontologies. Construction of the Great House may have been initiated by the local community and accomplished with the help of masons from its closest neighbour the Great House of Salmon. The area appears to have become a pilgrimage centre in its own right, not under hegemonic control of the powerful elites of Chaco Canyon. Rejection of the Chacoan influence is indicated by the construction by the local community of a structure that restricted entry to the area of the Great House. The decline of Chimney Rock as a pilgrimage centre sometime after 1093 AD was accompanied by the abandonment of the Salmon Great House, the breakup up of a trade network, and out-migration to the Taos Pueblo.
The Great Stone Circle (B) at Grange, Co. Limerick
Authors: Prendergast Frank
Published: July 2015

Prehistoric stone circles are generally interpreted as having had a variety of roles and meaning in the Neolithic and Bronze Age, especially as places for gathering and ceremony in the case of the largest examples. This paper undertakes an archaeoastronomical investigation of one of the rarest types, known as an embanked stone circle. Contrary to popular belief, the findings do not indicate any clear evidence of significant astronomical alignments inherent in the monument’s architecture. However, the character of the Grange (B) stone circle is considered and interpreted within a broader range of perspectives including morphology, landscape setting, ritual function, and the likely role and meaning of the sky in the past. The modern perception of skyscapes as cultural heritage assets is considered in terms of their protection.
The Pleiades and Scorpius in Barasana Cosmology
Authors: Hugh-Jones Stephen
Published: July 2015

In 1905, the German ethnographer Koch-Grünberg published a report of an Indian astronomical system from the Northwest Amazon region.1 His account, based on drawings by two Indian informants, has remained one of the most comprehensive descriptions of ethnoastronomy from lowland South America. Scattered references to star lore in the works of other writers,2 together with Koch-Grünberg’s own word lists of the many different languages spoken in the area,3 suggest that the basic elements of the system he described are probably common to all the Tukanoan speaking Indians of the Vaupés and to their Arawakan speaking neighbors to the north. In his account, Koch-Grünberg identifies some seventeen named stars and constellations and states that knowledge of astronomy is used in time reckoning, orientation, and the regulation of agricultural activities. But little information is given, either by him or by other writers, as to how this knowledge is used and how it relates to the cosmology and worldview of the Indians involved. In this paper, I shall try to answer some of these questions with reference to the Barasana.
Postscript
Authors: Hugh-Jones Stephen
Published: July 2015

The previous paper was first published in 1982, when ethnoastronomy was still in its infancy. It appeared in Ethnoastronomy and Archaeoastronomy in the American Tropics, Tony Aveni and Gary Urton’s edited proceedings of an international conference held at the American Museum of Natural History’s Hayden Planetarium in New York under the auspices of the New York Academy of Sciences. Aveni and Urton were true pioneers who opened up a new interdisciplinary field of research that brought together astronomers, anthropologists, archaeologists, historians and others, all interested in astronomical knowledge amongst contemporary indigenous societies, in how buildings, settlements and archaeological monuments were aligned with recurrent events in the sky, and in how such alignments matched up with astronomical information contained in ancient codices and other historical documents and in contemporary ethnographic accounts.

“Cosmologies in Transition: Continuity and Transformation in the Material Record”
Authors: Connolly David
Published: July 2015

This session, organized by Fabio Silva (University College London and University of Wales Trinity Saint David), was aimed at furthering “our understanding of periods of economical, social, religious or technological transition, their impact on the cosmologies of those involved and how these are imprinted on the archaeological record”. It was a serious attempt to broaden the celestial horizons of archaeoastronomy beyond the narrow boundaries assigned it by mainstream archaeology, and ironically, although taking place away from the main conference building, it was well attended with more people arriving as the day continued.

Size of uniformity trials for estimating the optimum plot size for vegetables
Authors: Schwertner Diogo V , Lúcio Alessandro D , Cargnelutti Filho Alberto
Published: July 2015

The aim of this work was to determine the uniformity trial size for estimating the optimum plot size in order to evaluate the fruit mass of tomato, snap-beans and zucchini. The mass of fruits was evaluated in uniformity trials with tomato grown in plastic tunnel in spring-summer and autumn-winter seasons, with snap-beans in plastic greenhouse in autumn-winter season and, with zucchini in plastic greenhouse in summer-autumn and winter-spring seasons. These data were used for planning different sizes of uniformity trials and resampling with replacement was used to estimate the optimum plot size by the method of maximum curvature of the coefficient of variation model. The size of uniformity trials influences the estimation of the optimum plot size for evaluating the mass of fruits of tomato, snap-beans and zucchini. Uniformity trials with tomato with 12 basic experimental units (12 plants) and with snap-beans with 21 basic experimental units (42 plants) are enough for estimating the optimum plot size for evaluating the mass of fruits in plastic tunnel with a confidence interval of 95% minor or equal to two basic experimental units. Uniformity trials with snap-beans with 18 basic experimental units (36 plants) and with zucchini with ten basic experimental units (ten plants) in plastic greenhouse are enough for estimating the optimum plot size for evaluating the mass of fruits with a confidence interval of 95% minor or equal to three basic experimental units.
Firewalls and post-earthquake fire resistance of reinforced-concrete frames
Authors: Behnam Behrouz , Ronagh Hamid Reza
Published: July 2015

Post-earthquake fire (PEF) contributes significantly to loss of life and property following large earthquakes in urban regions. In the absence of adequate PEF provisions in the codes and criteria, an investigation is performed on a reinforced concrete portal frame, divided into two unequal parts by a firewall. Acknowledging that firewalls could break down after earthquake, three fire exposure scenarios are assumed: only the left part exposed, only the right part exposed and the entire frame exposed. In the first two scenarios, the firewall remains intact, whereas in the third it is assumed to be broken down. The building is first pushed to displacement corresponding to the life safety level of performance based on FEMA 356 code. Then, using a natural fire curve, fire analysis is performed. Fire-alone analysis is performed to provide a point of reference. No failure occurs in any of the fire-alone scenarios, or when exposing the smaller part of the building to the PEF. In contrast, exposing the larger part and the entire frame to PEF makes the frame fail at around 50  min and 25  min, respectively. This shows the importance of firewalls to reduce vulnerability of reinforced concrete buildings in case of PEF. The approach used allows designers to choose the position and configuration of firewalls to best protect a building against PEF.
Examining Sport Team Identification, Social Connections, and Social Well-being among High School Students
Authors: Wann Daniel L. , Waddill Paula J. , Brasher Matthew , Ladd Sagan
Published: July 2015

Past research has found that sport team identification is positively correlated with social psychological health (Phua, 2012; Wann & Weaver, 2009) including work testing adolescent fans (Wann, Brasher, Thomas, & Scheuchner, in press).  The current study was designed to extend previous investigations by examining the relationship between team identification and the establishment and maintenance of social connections.  Data from 177 high school students confirmed expectations as identification with a high school football team was positively correlated with both social well-being and social connections.  However, social connections were not found to mediate the relationship between identification and well-being, contrary to the team identification – social psychological health model (Wann, 2006b).

Late Weichselian history of relative sea level changes in Iceland during a collapse and subsequent retreat of marine based ice sheet
Authors: Pétursson H.G. , Norðdahl H. , Ingólfsson Ó.
Published: July 2015

At the Last Glacial Maximum, Iceland was covered by an ice sheet more than 2000 m thick reaching as far as the shelf break. Rapid deglaciation, controlled by rising global sea level, started between 18.6 and 15.0 cal kyrs BP. In Bølling times, between 15.0 and 14.7 cal kyrs BP, the marine based part of the ice sheet collapsed and glaciers retreated inside the present coastline. At that time Marine Limit (ML) shorelines at very high altitudes were formed. Due to low viscosity of the mantel underneath Iceland, isostatic recovery was very rapid and there is a clear link between deglaciation, glacial unloading and volcanic activity. Following climatic deterioration the ice sheet re-advanced during the Younger Dryas, between 13.8 and 12.0 cal kyrs BP. The advance was terminated near the present coastline as distinct shorelines at lower altitudes than before were formed. In Early Preboreal times, about 11.2 cal kyrs BP, the ice sheet re-advanced once again and a new set of distinct shorelines was formed, at still lower altitudes than before. After that the ice sheet retreated rapidly and relative sea level fell towards and eventually below present sea level, reaching a minimum at -44 m at about 10.0 cal kyrs BP. At about 8.7 cal kyrs BP the ice sheet had disintegrated into individual icecaps of similar extent as the present glaciers.
Nurse Navigation and the Transition to Cancer Survivorship: A Review of Determinants Essential to Program Success
Authors: Giunti Amanda
Published: July 2015

Nurse navigation programs are becoming prominent in the field of cancer care. As a newly emerging field, nurse navigation employs nurses and other health care profes- sionals who assist patients in overcoming barriers throughout the cancer continuum. The concept of nurse navigation is being extended to focus on survivorship, which is described as the period following active cancer treatment where patients often en- counter barriers affecting their care and quality of life. By utilizing specific skills and modalities, including education, communication, and coordination, survivorship navigators are able to assist in reducing disparities such as knowledge and communi- cation inadequacies, thus, facilitating optimal access to survivorship care. Access to health services is an important determinant of health in Canada. Survivorship navi- gation programs incorporate health services, providing a method in which cancer patients can overcome challenges and improve their health outcomes. This review will discuss the origins of nurse navigation, highlight navigator skills and modalities, which are essential to program success, and finally discuss the implications of a sur- vivorship navigation program.

O experimento constou da utilização de dois tipos de esterco (bovino e caprino) homogeneizados com co-produto de vermiculita em seis doses (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 e 25%) em um delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado 6 x 2 mais quatro repetições controle contendo esterco bovino e solo na proporção 2:1. Para as análises estatísticas, foi aplicado teste de regressão polinomial grau dois para todas as variáveis e teste de Tukey a 5% para comparação entre os tratamentos aplicados e o tratamento controle. Sementes de angico foram semeadas em vasos plásticos, aos 40 dias após a germinação, foram coletados semanalmente o diâmetro basal e altura das mudas até 130 dias após a germinação, quando se deu o término do experimento, logo após, procedeu-se às coletas de massa seca da parte aérea, raiz e de tubérculo. O esterco bovino e caprino e o convencional surtiram efeitos positivos no crescimento das mudas de angico, assim sendo, recomendado seu uso para o cultivo da espécie angico. A dose de matéria orgânica que resultou o melhor efeito foi a de 25% de esterco caprino, comparado com os demais tratamentos estudados.

O rio Piranhas-Açu, de domínio federal, é o principal rio da bacia Piranhas-Açu, uma vez que nasce no município de Bonito de Santa Fé, no Estado da Paraíba, e segue seu curso natural pelo Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, desaguando no Oceano Atlântico, na Costa Potiguar. Os pontos de coleta de água foram georreferenciados através do aparelho de GPS e transferido para localização em mapa com os dados de localização geográfica, que permitiu a obtenção dos pontos com latitude e longitude em projeção UTM (Universal Transversa de Mercator). Houve redução da condutividade elétrica das aguas do rio Piranhas-açu entre janeiro e abril, coincidindo com o período de chuvas. O Rio Piranhas-açu apresentou maiores valores de Turbidez a partir de Fevereiro, pois as chuvas nesse período conseguem revolver os matérias depositados no fundo do rio e arrastar os que estavam no leito do rio. O bicarbonato e o magnésio foram os sais que apresentaram os maiores valores nas águas do rio Piranhas-Açu.

A aroeira (Myracrodruon urundeuva)é uma espécie pioneira que apresenta ampla distribuição geográfica, podendo ser encontrada em rios, córregos, como também em terrenos secos e pedregosos. Na comunidade vegetal no Sítio Quixaba, Taperoá, PB, não mais se observa uma quantidade grande de indivíduos como existia há anos atrás. Diante da importância que a espécie possui, este trabalho visa avaliar o potencial germinativo de sementes provenientes de oito indivíduos coletadas em uma população vegetal localizada no Sítio Quixaba no município de Taperoá.PB. O experimento foi conduzido sob condições controladas (laboratório/25ºC) e não controladas (viveiro). Foram avaliadas as seguintes características: germinação, índice de velocidade de germinação (IVG) e tempo médio de germinação, durante um período de 30 dias. Nas condições de viveiro, após um período de 70 dias, foram avaliadas as seguintes variáveis: altura de plantas, número de folhas, diâmetro de colo, massa seca de raiz e de parte aérea. O delineamento foi inteiramente casualizado com oito tratamentos (indivíduos) e quatro repetições de 25 sementes. Houve variação na qualidade fisiológica das sementes provenientes dos indivíduos da população de aroeira localizada no Sítio Quixaba em Taperoá-PB; sugere-se que estudos fenológicos sejam desenvolvidos na população estudada e em outras existentes no Sítio Quixaba para entendimento do comportamento germinativo e de vigor das sementes.

O Brasil, atualmente, possui uma grande tendência de crescimento do cultivo do coqueiro anão verde, onde o principal objetivo deste se da para a produção da água de coco, sua cultura esta distribuída em todo o território nacional, destacadamente na região Nordeste onde se concentram os maiores plantios do país. A água de coco é um produto natural que vem ganhando espaço no mercado como uma bebida de vasto potencial comercial, pois além de ser um produto natural é praticamente livre de contaminações, possui baixo teor calórico, considerável valor nutricional e apresenta aroma e sabor suaves e agradáveis. Neste contexto se faz necessário a avaliação da qualidade sensorial da água de coco industrializada e comercializada de forma a garantir a qualidade do produto para o consumidor. Com isso este trabalho objetivou avaliar sensorialmente á água de coco anão verde, produzidas comercialmente e envasadas, por indústrias do Sertão Paraibano e do Ceará. As amostras de água de coco proveniente das indústrias, foram analisadas sensorialmente no laboratório de microbiologia do CVT – UFCG - Pombal, utilizando o teste de comparação múltiplas utilizando uma escala hedônica de 9 pontos (9 = gostei extremamente, até 1 desgostei), também foi aplicado o teste de intenção de compra utilizando-se uma escala estruturada de 5 pontos (1 = certamente compraria, até 5 = Certamente compraria), conforme metodologia do Instituto Adolfo Lutz. Os resultados dos testes somente se deram até o 15 dias de armazenamento, onde 70% dos copos de água de coco armazenados, apresentaram-se turvos e com produção de gás, demonstrando apartir deste ponto impróprios para o consumo. Com 30 dias de armazenamento todas as amostras apresentaram insatisfatórios para consumo, demonstrando resultados preocupantes quanto a estabilidade da qualidade do produto durante sua validade comercial. Sugere-se como forma de garantia e manutenção da qualidade da água de coco à implantação e monitoramento de Boas Práticas de Fabricação para as unidades produtoras.

O presente trabalho é um estudo etnobotânico realizado com idosos do CRAS (Centro de Referência de Assistência Social) que investigou o conhecimento popular sobre plantas medicinais para o tratamento de faringoamigdalite no município de Cuité localizado no Curimataú do estado da Paraíba.  Essa comunidade mais idosa possui um conhecimento muito grande em relação ao uso de plantas medicinais. Desta forma, o estudo tem por objetivo investigar, documentar e avaliar se há confirmação científica de que a plantas medicinais utilizadas por esta comunidade realmente possuem atividades antimicrobianas. Para esta investigação foi realizada uma pesquisa exploratória, através de entrevistas aplicando-se um questionário semiestruturado com perguntas objetivas e subjetivas, buscando informações sobre o conhecimento da faringoamigdalite e de plantas utilizadas para o tratamento da mesma. A amostra foi composta por trinta idosos. Alguns entrevistados relataram nunca ter utilizado plantas medicinais ou nunca ter apresentado faringoamigdalite, mas os que relataram o uso de plantas medicinais citaram 14 espécies vegetais, consideradas úteis para o tratamento da doença. A principal planta citada por esta comunidade foi a romã (Punica granatum) possuidora de atividade antimicrobiana confirmada cientificamente contra Streptococcus pyogenes umas das bactérias causadora da faringoamigdalite. Os dados obtidos revelam que a comunidade possui conhecimento sobre plantas medicinais com atividade antimicrobiana para tratamento de faringoamigdalite.

A field study was conducted at different nitrogen rates on growth, yield and achene oil content of sunflower sown at different planting densities at Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan. Randomized complete block design with split plot arrangement was applied, having plants densities (8.33, 6.67 and 5.56 plants m-2) in main plots and while various nitrogen levels (90, 120 and 150 kg ha-1) in sub-plots. The plant densities and various nitrogen levels had a significant effect on leaf area index, crop growth rate, 1000-achene weight, head diameter, number of achenes head- 1,biological yield, oil quality, harvest index and achene yield of sunflower. The plants which were fertilized at 150 kg N ha-1 gaveabout 24% more achene yield as compared to 90 kg N ha-1. More oil content was obtained in plots where nitrogen was applied at the rate of 90 kg ha-1. It can be concluded that nitrogen application at the rate of 150 kg ha-1 with planting density (8.33 plants m-2) produced highest achene yield.SAARC J. Agri., 13(1): 174-187 (2015)
Urinary Sugars—A Biomarker of Total Sugars Intake
Authors: Tasevska Natasha
Published: July 2015

Measurement error in self-reported sugars intake may explain the lack of consistency in the epidemiologic evidence on the association between sugars and disease risk. This review describes the development and applications of a biomarker of sugars intake, informs its future use and recommends directions for future research. Recently, 24 h urinary sucrose and fructose were suggested as a predictive biomarker for total sugars intake, based on findings from three highly controlled feeding studies conducted in the United Kingdom. From this work, a calibration equation for the biomarker that provides an unbiased measure of sugars intake was generated that has since been used in two US-based studies with free-living individuals to assess measurement error in dietary self-reports and to develop regression calibration equations that could be used in future diet-disease analyses. Further applications of the biomarker include its use as a surrogate measure of intake in diet-disease association studies. Although this biomarker has great potential and exhibits favorable characteristics, available data come from a few controlled studies with limited sample sizes conducted in the UK. Larger feeding studies conducted in different populations are needed to further explore biomarker characteristics and stability of its biases, compare its performance, and generate a unique, or population-specific biomarker calibration equations to be applied in future studies. A validated sugars biomarker is critical for informed interpretation of sugars-disease association studies.
