CONT

A nutrition transition describes dietary and nutritional changes driven by economic, social, and demographic shifts... The most common contemporary nutrition transition is from a diet of relatively diverse low-fat, low-salt, high-fiber foods acquired via physically intensive labor to a low-diversity, low-fiber diet of refined and processed foods high in calories, fat, salt, cholesterol, and sugar. In early transitional stages these changes can improve food security and health, but they have also been linked to the increase in chronic noninfectious diseases [e. g., obesity, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes(T2D) ]...

CONT

The second stage of ceramic development in the immediate region of southwest Indiana is marked by refined grit-tempered cord-marked ceramics; these ceramics are morphologically similar to the earlier types and varieties and include flat-bottom conoidal jars and some "flower pot" type vessels. These ceramics probably can be dated within the temporal range of from 1000 to 600 B. C. and have an expected date range of from 900 to 700 B. C.

DEF

Development of a rancid odour in an odourless product (e.g. oil).

CONT

Further processing and utilization of refined soybean oil : Freshly refined soybean oil is practically odourless and bland. However, objectionable off-flavour described as "green, grassy, fishy" is known to develop quickly if the oil is heated(as in cooking and frying), or stored under conditions which expose it to light and oxygen or permits contamination with certain metals such as copper and iron. This type of flavour deterioration has been called "flavour reversion", expressing the thought that it brings back the off-flavours of crude oil.

CONT

Sustainability indicators should help to assess the extent to which sustainability concerns have been integrated into the Common Agricultural Policy... Indicators Frameworks. Indicators should be developed in the context of overall frameworks which are capable of providing information in a comprehensive and consistent way... Frameworks based on physical features. This type of approach is pursued by the OECD's Driving Forces-State-Response(DSR) model. Several versions of this basic model exist, developed according to specific needs. A refined approach is pursued by the European Environment Agency's Driving forces-Pressure-State-Impact-Response(DPSIR) framework and applied to agriculture in the Commission's Communication on Indicators for the Integration of Environmental.

Les indicateurs de durabilité doivent permettre d'évaluer dans quelle mesure les questions concernant la durabilité ont été intégrées dans la politique agricole commune[...] Les indicateurs doivent être élaborés dans des cadres généraux permettant de fournir des données complètes et cohérentes[...] Les cadres fondés sur les caractéristiques physiques. Ce type d'approche est celui du modèle «forces motrices-état-réponse» [...] de l'OCDE. Il existe plusieurs variantes de ce modèle de base, élaborés en fonction des besoins spécifiques. Le modèle «forces motrices-pression-état-impact-réponse» [...] de l'Agence européenne pour l'environnement en est une version perfectionnée, qui est appliquée à l'agriculture dans la communication de la Commission «Indicateurs d'intégration des préoccupations environnementales dans la politique agricole commune», COM (2000)20 (Commission européenne 2000a).
