“…Dietary changes have been shown to be related to the length of exposure to the new environment, knowledge of the new language, social contact with people of the new culture, and involvement in activities and educational programs with members of the larger society. Younger immigrants change more readily than older migrants, and men change more readily than women, who have more experience with traditional food preparation (26,27).…”

To determine the health and social benefits of the family mealtime, we examined the contribution of immigrant mothers' food motives to the importance placed on family meals, and cultural differences in mothers' food motives and the importance ascribed to family meals. Data were taken from a study on food choice factors among ten- to 12-year-old children from three cultural communities in Montreal. A 24-item, self-administered questionnaire was used to explore food choice motives. Each mother was also asked how important it was for her family to take the time to eat together, and if the child enjoyed sharing meals with his or her family. In all, 209 of the 653 questionnaires distributed were valid; 68 were from Haitian, 75 from Portuguese, and 66 from Vietnamese mothers. Five factors emerging from factor analyses explained 61.67% of the variance. Analysis of variance indicated significant differences between mothers' countries of origin for the importance placed on health, pleasure, familiarity, and ingredient properties (p<0.005). Among Haitian and Portuguese mothers, health motivations emerged as the only significant predictor of the importance given to family meals, whereas for Vietnamese mothers, both health and eating familiar foods were predictors (p<0.05).

“…The food culture of an ethnic group comes from the accumulation of local culture which is the authenticity legacy of the previous generation [13]. Food culture is formed from the habits of indigenous people about the food choices they eat because the cultural identity of the community is seen from their food choices including from the preparation of choosing raw materials, processing to presentation; this is all influenced by the beliefs, values, and social norms of the community [14]. The food culture of ethnic community groups is determined by personal, religious, and ethnic complexity ultimately determining food choices that reflect values and habits [15].…”

The enterprise cultural heritage of the Minangkabau cuisine, West Sumatra in Indonesia was formed by several factors such as history, knowledge, and inheritance of processing procedures to the presentation of cuisine. Minangkabau cuisine has a wealth of assets in the form of heterogeneity of culinary heritage resources that are thick with a unique value of a unique taste. Thus, Minangkabau cuisine with its cultural heritage becomes the strength of cultural identity for the Minangkabau people in the process of selecting food. The sustainability of the Minangkabau restaurant business cannot be separated from the ownership of its valuable, scarce, inimitable, and non-substitute resource assets so that it is not easy to move to competitors. The findings in this study have never been answered in previous literature reviews; furthermore, this paper is able to explain treasures about the history, geographical, cultural, and social significance of ethnic food Minangkabau with scientific evidence, the enterprise culture heritage in achieving the sustainable competitive advantage of Minangkabau cuisine with a more interesting scientific approach. This review aims to explain scientifically the identity of food and culture from Minangkabau cuisine, West Sumatra, Indonesia, namely reviewing the history and food culture of Minangkabau cuisine related to its origin, the authenticity of Minangkabau food, and the enterprise cultural heritage as a restaurant for Minangkabau cultural cuisine as a source of sustainable competition in this global business era. In the end, it was found that Minangkabau cuisine has high heterogeneity resource assets as a source of achievement of sustainable competitive advantage by heritage value.

“…Leininger's work stimulated a diversity of cultural competency approaches and associated conceptual models for their translation into practice, ranging from those widely applicable to all health care environments, [32][33][34][35][36] to specialized approaches designed for specific medical settings. 37,38 These approaches have been described using various terms (each with their own definition), such as ''transcultural nursing,'' ''cultural sensitivity,'' ''cultural competency,'' and ''crosscultural care.'' 29 They are highly influential in the United States, and have been integrated into standard medical training.…”

Background: Cultural competency is increasingly recommended in policy and practice to improve end-of-life (EoL) care for minority ethnic groups in multicultural societies. It is imperative to critically analyze this approach to understand its underlying concepts. Aim: Our aim was to appraise cultural competency approaches described in the British literature on EoL care and minority ethnic groups. Design: This is a critical review. Articles on cultural competency were identified from a systematic review of the literature on minority ethnic groups and EoL care in the United Kingdom. Terms, definitions, and conceptual models of cultural competency approaches were identified and situated according to purpose, components, and origin. Content analysis of definitions and models was carried out to identify key components. Results: One-hundred thirteen articles on minority ethnic groups and EoL care in the United Kingdom were identified. Over half (n = 60) contained a term, definition, or model for cultural competency. In all, 17 terms, 17 definitions, and 8 models were identified. The most frequently used term was ''culturally sensitive,'' though ''cultural competence'' was defined more often. Definitions contained one or more of the components: ''cognitive,'' ''implementation,'' or ''outcome.'' Models were categorized for teaching or use in patient assessment. Approaches were predominantly of American origin. Conclusions: The variety of terms, definitions, and models underpinning cultural competency approaches demonstrates a lack of conceptual clarity, and potentially complicates implementation. Further research is needed to compare the use of cultural competency approaches in diverse cultures and settings, and to assess the impact of such approaches on patient outcomes.
