Strengthening Trust by Design: A QCA Study of Design Choices in Regulatory Regimes
ABSTRACT How can the design of regulatory regimes foster trust in those regimes? In food safety, finance, and data protection regulation, regulatory frameworks have been reformed to restore trust after regulatory failures. Using fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis, this paper seeks to identify how key design choices—centralization of ...

Seafood Abundance Correlates With Nitrogen Stable Isotope Ratio in Japanese Diet
ABSTRACT Rationale Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios (δ13C and δ15N) of whole diet have rarely been measured to date though the isotope ratios in human sample have been extensively used for diet and nutritional researches. In order to fully validate the isotope dietary analysis, association between quantitative information on diet composition ...
