“…A working team composed of two coordinators and a committee (including researchers, computer scientists and compilers, all of whom were dietitians and nutritionists) was established for the preparation of the S4H FCDB. Both the coordinators and the compilers completed the e-learning course offered free of charge by FAO/INFOODS [57]. The e-FoodComp course on food composition was designed by experts to be used by different professional users.…”

The European Commission funded project Stance4Health (S4H) aims to develop a complete personalised nutrition service. In order to succeed, sources of information on nutritional composition and other characteristics of foods need to be as comprehensive as possible. Food composition tables or databases (FCT/FCDB) are the most commonly used tools for this purpose. The aim of this study is to describe the harmonisation efforts carried out to obtain the Stance4Health FCDB. A total of 10 FCT/FCDB were selected from different countries and organizations. Data were classified using FoodEx2 and INFOODS tagnames to harmonise the information. Hazard analysis and critical control points analysis was applied as the quality control method. Data were processed by spreadsheets and MySQL. S4H’s FCDB is composed of 880 elements, including nutrients and bioactive compounds. A total of 2648 unified foods were used to complete the missing values of the national FCDB used. Recipes and dishes were estimated following EuroFIR standards via linked tables. S4H’s FCDB will be part of the smartphone app developed in the framework of the Stance4Health European project, which will be used in different personalized nutrition intervention studies. S4H FCDB has great perspectives, being one of the most complete in terms of number of harmonized foods, nutrients and bioactive compounds included.

“…Aiming at the drawback of dictionary classification system, a text feature extraction technology based on N-gram information is proposed. It makes the text data classification system free from the dependence on the complex word segmentation processing program and the large word library and realizes the domain independence and time independence of the Chinese text data classification [16,17]. The concept of N-gram information is a string proposed by the founder of information theory, Chesaning, in the study of source code, which is often used to represent the continuous n characters of the source output.…”

In the process of English translation, traditional interactive English translation system is not obvious in English semantic context. The optimal feature selection process does not achieve the optimal translation solution, and the translation accuracy is low. Based on this, this paper designs an interactive English Chinese translation system based on a feature extraction algorithm. By introducing the feature extraction algorithm, the optimal translation solution is selected, and the semantic mapping model is constructed to translate the best translation into English Chinese translation. The real experiment results show that the interactive English Chinese translation system based on feature extraction algorithm can get the best solution.

In the recent decade, e-learning has been immensely accepted and achieved great success in education. This study, aiming to identify the e-learning pedagogy in a recent decade, adopts the narrative literature review method via a comprehensive online database elicitation with English key words “e-learning, technology assisted learning, mobile learning, distance learning, ubiquitous learning, education, teacher”, and “instructor” to retrieve the literature examining e-learning. Through reviewing the publications in the recent decade and main research themes, the study explores the role of information technology literacy in e-learning, e-learning acceptance and effectiveness, e-learning outcomes, interactions in the e-learning context, adaptation to e-learning, motivation and enjoyment, e-learning devices, barriers to e-learning, and ineffectiveness of e-learning alone. Future research directions could focus on specific e-learning situations, e-learning readiness and adaptiviy through interdisciplinary empirical studies.
