BlockSim-Net: a network-based blockchain simulator

Most of us can identify a few foodies from our social network. This suggests that we have an intuitive understanding of what defines a foodie. However, there is no objective way to assess whether someone is a foodie or not. Here, we developed a questionnaire that measures the construct “foodie”, that has been shown through multiple qualitative studies to exert influence over people's food choices. We operationalised the construct “foodie” and developed a 24-item questionnaire that is psychometrically sound. The items were tested in three empirical studies (n = 470) and the scale was found to have strong internal consistency. Overall, four factors emerged: strong love for food, perceived knowledge of food, food-seeking behaviour, and knowledge acquisition. Each factor displayed associations with other constructs from the literature, and thus, provided substantial evidence for the validity of the scale. We discuss how our measure of foodie introduces a new perspective around people's relationship with food, is different from similar constructs such as food involvement, and may have important clinically relevant implications to various aspects of social life such as physical and emotional health, food tourism, and food production.

An exploratory study on the development of a ‘foodie’ scale: Evidence from a study on students in India

This article discusses two prominent protest movements in India responding to nuclear energy expansion, protests related to the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project in Tamil Nadu and the Jaitapur Nuclear Power Project in Maharashtra. Partly based on ethnographic fieldwork at both sites, the article argues that these protest movements are substantially different from anti-nuclear mobilisations outside South Asia. Indian nuclear-related protest movements problematise the tensions of development and environment from a grassroots perspective but struggle with opposing claims that more energy is needed. Locally, project-affected people do not trust government agencies to protect them and the local environment against creeping pollutions and potential disasters. Above all, local grievances are directed against high-handed procedures of compensating project-affected persons. Seen from this angle, these protest movements are in effect contributing to the arduous process of democratisation of governance regarding the constantly changing modalities of expanding energy provisions in India.&nbsp;
