Abstract
Aim There has been an increase in the development of technologies that can deliver personalised dietary advice. Devising healthy, sustainable dietary plans will mean taking into consideration extrinsic factors such as individual social circumstances. The aim of this study was to identify societal groups more or less receptive to and likely to engage with personalised nutrition initiatives. Sample and methods Volunteers were recruited via a social research agency from within the UK. The resultant sample (N = 1061) was 49% female, aged 18-65 years. Results MANOVA (Tukey HSD applied) indicated that females and younger people (aged 18-29 years) had more favourable attitudes and were more likely to intend to adopt personalised nutrition. There were no differences in attitude toward or intention to adopt personalised nutrition between different education levels, income brackets or occupational groups. Conclusion These results imply that females and younger people may be most likely to adopt personalised nutrition in the future. Initiatives to promote healthy eating should target males and older people.

Abstract
This study aimed to identify dietary patterns (DPs) and their associations with sociodemographic factors and diet quality in Portuguese adults and the elderly. Cross-sectional data were obtained from the National Food, Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (2015-2016), with two non-consecutive dietary 24 h recalls. Food items were classified according to the NOVA system and its proportion (in grams) in the total daily diet was considered to identify DPs by latent class analysis, using age and sex as concomitant variables. Multinomial logistic and linear regressions were performed to test associations of DPs with sociodemographic characteristics and diet quality, respectively. Three DPs were identified: "Traditional " (higher vegetables, fish, olive oil, breads, beer and wine intake), "Unhealthy " (higher pasta, sugar-sweetened beverages, confectionery and sausages intake) and "Diet concerns " (lower intake of cereals, red meat, sugar-sweetened and alcoholic beverages). "Unhealthy " was associated with being younger and lower intake of dietary fiber and vitamins and the highest free sugars and ultra-processed foods (UPF). "Diet concerns " was associated with being female and a more favorable nutrient profile, but both DPs presented a higher contribution of UPF than the "Traditional " DP. These findings should be considered for the design of food-based interventions and public policies for these age groups in Portugal.

Abstract
Many archival collections have been recently digitized and made available to a wide public. The contained documents however tend to have limited attractiveness for ordinary users, since content may appear obsolete and uninteresting. Archival document collections can become more attractive for users if suitable content can be recommended to them. The purpose of this research is to propose a new research direction of Archival Content Suggestion to discover interesting content from long-term document archives that preserve information on society history and heritage. To realize this objective, we propose two unsupervised approaches for automatically discovering interesting sentences from news article archives. Our methods detect interesting content by comparing the information written in the past with one created in the present to make use of a surprise effect. Experiments on New York Times corpus show that our approaches effectively retrieve interesting content. © 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
