Luis Fayad. Dalla narrativa urbana agli innesti socioculturali. Presentazione
No full textThe article looks at Luis Fayad’s novel La caída de los puntos cardinales (2000) in order to foreground the influence of Arabic on the Colom- bian author whose grandparents were Lebanese. Born in Bogotá in 1945, Fayad published the novel after being identified as one of the first Colombian novelists dealing with urban literature. It represents a change of direction in his career, as Fayad narrates the entire life of six main characters, four men and two women, who decide to leave Lebanon and migrate to South America, ending up in Colombia. The analysis will focus on the importance of the circulation of the book in Italy by virtue of issues of intercultural exchange embedded in the novel. La caída de los puntos cardinales mixes Arabic tradition and Colombian customs; in the novel, Fayad achieves a cross-cultural story that may provide a successful model of integration. The Spanish-Italian translation and a critical approach to the language used by the novelist and employed by the translator will complete the essay

Subjective Vitality of Lebanese Adults in Lebanon: Validation of the Arabic Version of the Subjective Vitality Scale
No full textSubjective vitality is an indicator of eudaimonic well-being that refers to the feeling of being alive and full of energy. According to Self-Determination Theory (SDT), awareness of what is truly occurring in the present is conducive to subjective vitality. The current study examined the construct validity of the Subjective Vitality Scale and its relation to sociodemographic variables and Experiential Self-Knowledge (ESK), a theoretically relevant awareness construct, in the Lebanese cultural context. A convenient sample of 301 Lebanese adults residing in the Greater Beirut Area completed the Arabic translations of the 6-item Subjective Vitality Scale (SVS) and the 13-item ESK Scale. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported a unidimensional factor structure for the Arabic SVS. Multiple-group confirmatory factor analyses also provided evidence of configural, metric, structural, and scalar invariance across sex. With respect to sociodemographic variables, sex was the only significant correlate and predictor of subjective vitality, with males reporting greater levels of subjective vitality than females. Consistent with Self-Determination Theory (SDT), awareness as assessed by the ESK Scale was found to be a positive correlate and predictor of subjective vitality such that those who scored higher on experiential self-knowledge also reported greater levels of subjective vitality. These findings provide preliminary support for the construct validity of the Arabic translation of the SVS in the Lebanese context and highlight the potential role of awareness in eudaimonic well-being. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.Abu-Baker K, 2005, ISRAEL J PSYCHIAT, V42, P106; Abu-Musa AA, 2007, FERTIL STERIL, V88, P1579, DOI 10.1016-j.fertnstert.2007.01.067; Abu-Saba MB, 1999, J TRAUMA STRESS, V12, P201, DOI 10.1023-A:1024766920789; Ayyash-Abdo H, 2010, APPL PSYCHOL-HLTH WE, V2, P340, DOI 10.1111-j.1758-0854.2010.01038.x; Ayyoub C., 1986, WARTIME STATE CHILDR; Bostic TJ, 2000, SOC INDIC RES, V52, P313, DOI 10.1023-A:1007136110218; Brdar I, 2010, J RES PERS, V44, P151, DOI 10.1016-j.jrp.2009.12.001; Brown KW, 2003, J PERS SOC PSYCHOL, V84, P822, DOI 10.1037-0022-3514.84.4.822; Browne M.

Impact of breast feeding on Females' body image
No full textMastersBreastfeeding is a natural process but it does not always
come without a learning curve for many mothers. It is rare that
mothers do not have any difficulties breastfeeding. The key is to
stick with it, get support and guidance from a lactation
consultant and be careful to not introduce bottles or formula
unless you have tried everything else first.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that all
infants be exclusively breastfed from birth to 6 months of age,
followed by the gradual introduction of other forms of nutrition
and continued breastfeeding into the second year and beyond.
Body image can basically be defined as the mind's picture
of the personal body and accompanying thoughts, feelings, and
perceptions.
In relation to breastfeeding, body image disturbance traits
may influence a woman's initial decision to breastfeed, as well
as possibly promote discomfort within the breastfeeding
relationship, causing early cessation.
Aim of the study:-
The aim of this study was to assess impact of breast feeding
concept on mothers' body image and initiation and continuity of
breast feeding in Riyadh city.
The study was conducted at (antenatal clinic & well baby
clinic) Primary Health Care Centers at East & West Riyadh city.
A systematic random sample used to choose these centers. The
five regions of Riyadh city were subjected to equal chance in
order to select two regions out of five (East & west) regions
were randomly elicited. Form the two regions also centers were
randomly selected from each two regions out of regions. Hence
the four centers were selected for data collection were PHC
centers (Al-Soli & East Nasseim ) East region, PHC centers
(Erijah C & Badiah ) West region.
A total population of this study 200 woman, including 100
pregnant women who at the third trimester of their pregnancy
and 100 women who are breast fed their infants at the first 3
months of their life. A convenient sample technique was used
for selecting participants. At each four clinics 25 pregnant
women from ante natal clinics & 25 lactating woman were
selected with the following Inclusive criteria.
Inclusive criteria for selection of the population subjects was as
follows:
1- Mothers age from 18-30 years.
2- Mothers either first pregnancy or with maximum 3
children.
3- Mothers who has normal physical condition without
chronic illness.
4- Non-Saudi mothers were excluded from the sample.
5- Mothers who are willing to participate in this study.
A pilot study was conducted on 10 women to test the validity
and reliability of the tools and to estimate the time required for
filling the sheets and to establish the research modification
procedures. Any required modification was done.
Data was collected from the period of (Rajab , 1429 / July,
2008) to Duo-Quad a, 1429 / December 2008) for duration of
six months.
A structured questionnaire composed of two parts was utilized
to collect the required data;
I - Structured interviewing questionnaire was constructed by the
researcher after consulting the experts in maternity &
pioneers health care field, the questionnaire consists of two
parts:

A. Socio-demographic data such as (age, educational level,
occupation status, income/ month, etc…).
B. Obstetrical History such as ( Number Previous
pregnancies &months, Number of live children & Type of
delivery, etc. )
Þ Second part of the interview was aimed at assessing the
Factor that encouraging and hindering initiation of breast
feeding ,twenty-nine questions was developed by the
researcher review of literature, it was formed as Likert
scale answers ranging from strongly accept (4 grades) to
strongly not accept (1 grade)
II - The Body Image Disturbance Scale ( Al- Dousky, 2004). It
is a 34 likert-scale (5 answers) ranging from always (4
grades) to never (0 grade) with maximum total score 136
and minimum score 34. The highest scores indicates that
woman is satisfied with her body image while lowest
scores indicates that woman is not satisfied with her body
image. Total scores of Body Image Disturbance Scale was

Conclusion:
The results of this study folded that regardless of the personal
hindering or encouraging initiation factors characteristics a
positive body image was proved to be relatively high among
lactating mothers regardless initiating or hindering factors or
knowledge that positively encourage breast feeding.
Recommendation:
1. Integrating self-efficacy
Maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy is a significant
predictor of breastfeeding duration and level. Integrating
self-efficacy enhancing strategies may improve the quality
of healthcare that healthcare professionals deliver & may
increase a new mother's confidence in her ability to
breastfeed, & to persevere if she dose encounter
difficulties.
2. Address mothers' self confidence
The individual mother is responsible for the success of
breastfeeding and the discourses are hiding that general
perceptions of breastfeeding undermines the mothers'
confidence in breastfeeding should be addressed.
3. Dissemination of information and education
The study suggests a need for dissemination of
information and education regarding optimal breastfeeding
practices and for protecting and promoting healthy
traditional practices.
4. Involvement of pregnant and lactating mothers, in
various activities
Involvement of pregnant and lactating mothers, in various
activities is desirable as they all have an important role in
initiation of breast-feeding and other healthy feeding
practices at the community level.
5. Promoting institutional deliveries
They should be made aware of advantages and
psychological implications of optimal breast-feeding
practices. Efforts should also be made for promoting
institutional deliveries for providing them better
opportunities of health education for early initiation of
breast-feeding.
6. Conduct research
Conduct research that identifies the social, cultural,
economic, and psychological factors that influence infant
feeding behaviors.
7. Educational programs
While the educational programs launched to convey the
benefits of breastfeeding often focus on the health of the
baby, the focus needs to shift to the decision-making
process that mothers go through in making infant feeding
choices, including the effect of body image on
breastfeeding initiation and duration.
8. Promoting & improvement mothers need information
Before any increases in breastfeeding rates can occur, true
underlying causes of breastfeeding practices, as well as
barriers to breastfeeding initiation, must be identified and
addressed to best meet the needs of mothers and to best
provide for the health of future generations.
9. Family and peer support
A universal service for initiation of breast feeding using
peer support and family assistance provided within
antenatal clinics is required.
10.Outreach services
A policy for attending breastfeeding sessions during
antenatal period is a must for all pregnant mothers
especially during the third pregnancy trimester and
especially for those living in relatively deprived areas and
initiation and implementation of home visits for
postpartum women to assess and encourage women to
continue breast feeding is necessary.
11.Paid maternity vacation
Community health team should encourages and advocates
women to have postpartum maternity leave with full salary
for the first 6 months of the child's age for exclusive
lactation and flexibility in working conditions for
breastfeeding women.
12. The role of healthcare providers
The healthcare providers must focuses on the benefits of
breastfed versus formula-fed infants across time and
Nurses & Pediatricians have significant role in initiation
and support mothers to start breastfeeding early
especially if the hospital rules is to keep woman who
delivered normally for at least 12 hours post delivery
