The effect of lifestyle intervention and depression symptoms on binge eating and relation of binge eating to gestational weight gain and child birth weight in the UPBEAT cohort of pregnant women living with obesity
No full textBinge eating is one of the most prevalent eating disorder behaviours in pregnancy, its risk factors and association with pregnancy-related outcomes has sparsely researched in this population. This study aimed to investigate: (hypothesis 1) the effectiveness of a lifestyle intervention in reducing binge eating; (hypothesis 2) the association between depressive symptoms and binge eating behaviours throughout the perinatal period; and (hypothesis 3) the association between binge eating, gestational weight gain and birthweight in a cohort of pregnant women with obesity. This is a planned secondary analysis of the UK Pregnancies Better Eating and Activity Trial (UPBEAT) randomized controlled trial. Exposures were trial arms (hypothesis 1); depressive symptoms (hypothesis 2); and number of weekly binge eating episodes and binge eating behaviours (hypothesis 3). Outcomes were number of weekly binge eating episodes and binge eating behaviours and cognitions (hypotheses 1 and 2), gestational weight gain and child's birthweight (hypothesis 3). There was no evidence that the UPBEAT intervention was effective in reducing number of weekly binge eating behaviours (IRR .942; 95%CI .756, 1.174) or binge eating behaviours (IRR 1.005; 95%CI .861, 1.174). Increased levels of depressive symptoms were associated with a higher number of binge eating behaviours (IRR 1.031; 95%CI 1.015, 1.048) and its associated features (IRR 1.030; 95%CI 1.019, 1.041). There was evidence that more frequent binge eating behaviours lead to greater increase in gestational weight gain. (coefficient = .614; 95%CI .264, .964). There is a need for holistic interventions that promote maternal mental health and address binge eating behaviours. More work is required in the field to understand which interventions would prove efficacious.</p

The impact of the National Training Reform Agenda and workplace rearrangement on staff development in Australian academic and state libraries
Get PDFDeposited with permission of the author. © 1997 Dr. Angela C. Bridgland.In Australia, the combination of a changing workforce profile, the changing nature of work and industrial agreements and the changing role of education and training gave rise to the National Training Reform Agenda (NTRA). The main aim of the NTRA is to increase the competitiveness and productivity of Australian industry through industry responsive reform of the vocational education and training system. The development of a National Framework for the Recognition of Training (NFROT) and nationally endorsed industry competency standards, along with The Training Guarantee Act (1990), were intended to ensure that the Government’s major reform program for education and training for Australian industry took effect
How to be a woman. Models of masochism and sacrifice in young adult fiction
No full textBuffy, Bella, Veronica, Katniss, Clary, Tris and Saba : For two decades post-feminist heroines have faced life-threatening trials as part of their progress to womanhood. In this chapter I consider how young adult popular fictions operate as forms of pedagogy for young women by offering them particular models of maturity and womanhood. I explore the recurrence and reformulation of a persistent pattern of behaviour in which heroines engage in risky and/or masochistic behaviours for which they are emotionally rewarded.. These recurrences function as a form of vicarious experiential learning in which readers and viewers learn that emotional gratification and adult status are conferred through self-harm and self-sacrifice. Popular culture is not a monolithic form and young adult fictions are no exception. An analysis of fictional examples of this behaviour pattern challenges the idea that heroines today are empowered agents as a result of the legacy of feminism. At the same time, the analysis belies any notion that fictions are universally hegemonic and oppressive – fictions can and do disrupt and interrogate this pattern of emotional masochism. Scholars of public pedagogy have explored the complexities, contradictions and subtleties of the pedagogical process. Sandlin O’Malley and Burdick (2011) in their review of public pedagogy literature acknowledge that some scholarship has demonstrated how “the teaching and learning inherent within daily life can be both oppressive and resistant” (p. 144). Jubas and Knutson (2012) also see public pedagogy as an arena where contradictions and tensions are in play. They argue that we can see “New examples of dialectic or tensions … between the authority of the producer and the consumer; between traditional structures which ground identities and help people make sense of cultural texts, and personal agency which frees people to choose and invent identities and meanings” (p. 86). This analysis aims to contribute to understandings of the complexities of public pedagogy by showing how fictions aimed primarily at young women both resist and accommodate patriarchy
Modifiable early life exposures associated with adiposity and obesity in 3-year old children born to mothers with obesity
No full textBackground: Children born to mothers with obesity are at increased risk of obesity. Influences underlying this predisposition include in-utero exposures, genetic predisposition and a shared family environment. Effective intervention strategies are needed to prevent obesity in these high-risk children; this requires evaluation of modifiable pregnancy and early-life risk factors. Objectives: To assess the individual and cumulative contributions of maternal and early-life modifiable exposures on childhood adiposity and obesity outcomes in 3-year-old children born to women with obesity. Methods: We used adjusted regression to assess the individual and cumulative contributions of six exposures (early pregnancy BMI, excessive gestational weight gain, mode of infant feeding and three measures of childhood eating habits [food responsiveness, slowness in eating and a processed/snacking dietary pattern score]) on body composition in 495 three-year-old children. Outcomes included BMI z-score, arm circumference and overweight/obesity (BMI≥25.0 kg/m
2). Results: While the UPBEAT intervention did not influence adiposity outcomes in 3-year-old children, the six modifiable exposures combined incrementally to increase childhood adiposity and obesity. For each additional exposure, children had a higher BMI z-score (β = 0.35SD [95% confidence interval: 0.23, 0.47]), arm circumference (β = 0.59 cm [0.40, 0.79]) and risk of overweight/obesity (relative risk 1.49 [1.26, 1.77]). Compared to no exposures, children with four or more exposures had a higher BMI z-score (1.11SD [0.65, 1.58]), arm circumference (2.15 cm [1.41, 2.89]) and risk of overweight/obesity (3.01 [1.67, 5.41]) (all P < 0.001). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that complex interventions targeting preconception, pregnancy, perinatal and early childhood exposures offer a potential strategy for prevention of pre-school obesity.

Conflict and Authority: William of Saint-Thierry and Peter Abelard as Readers of Origen
No full textAbstract This study compares how two prominent twelfth-century Latin authors and theological opponents, namely the monastic author William of Saint-Thierry (c. 1080–1148) and the school master Peter Abelard (1079–1142), variously understood the authority of the controversial yet influential Greek author Origen (c. 184–253) in their works. Modern scholars who study the reception of Origen in the twelfth-century Latin West have, to this point, spoken of an Origenian revival in this period, concluding that Origen was especially popular in the cloister, among Cistercian monks, such as Bernard of Clairvaux and his followers, like William of Saint-Thierry, based on the assumption that as monks they found his writings more relevant. This study seeks to challenge this scholarly narrative by focusing on two authors who are perceived as typifying two different strands of theology, one of a contemplative character developed in the cloister (William) and one making use of dialectics and developed in the emerging schools (Abelard). By demonstrating that the schoolmaster Abelard drew on Origen to a greater degree and in a more transparent manner than his monastic opponent, this study will show that Origen’s popularity in the cloisters was not, as such, a clear point of distinction between them and schools in the way that has usually been claimed by modern scholarship
