Effects of Certain Personal Attributes on Food Waste by Ákos Bartha, Bálint Horváth

“…Therefore, we can see that food waste itself is one of the most serious, paradoxical and global modern issues which the developed world has identified, and is trying to decrease by using national and international interventions in order to limit food supply anomalies and environmental loads as much as possible. Understanding personal attributes more precisely might be a good practice for providing future solutions, as well.…”

Students with disabilities in higher education call for personal empowerment, equitable inclusive systems, and individualized accommodations by Paul A. Bartolo, Michelle Borg, Anne-Marie Callus, Liberato Camilleri, Alistair De Gaetano, Marchita Mangiafico, Edward Mazzacano D'Amato, Carmen Sammut, Ramona Vella Vidal, Jonathan Vincent

“…Thirdly, they reported that individual accommodations were necessary for their equitable participation and called for less bureaucratic processing of applications, individual negotiation of accommodations, and a system for informing lecturers of students' needs.DiscussionThe study suggests that higher education institutions should listen to the concerns of students with disabilities and involve them in curricular and environmental planning. They need to create a diversity respectful ethos and socio-emotional support that promotes everyone's membership in the university community, while adopting a universal design for learning mindset that is open to the diverse needs of students and providing a smooth system of accommodations for other individual needs.…”
