Anorexia Nervosa and Covid-19: the impact of media on the diffusion of eating disorders among teenagers
Full text linkopenL’anoressia Nervosa rappresenta uno dei disturbi alimentari più diffusi e pericolosi tra gli adolescenti. Essendo l’adolescenza una fase critica e sensibile dello sviluppo in cui l’individuo si trova ad affrontare uno sviluppo fisico e psicologico spesso improvviso e inaspettato, alcuni fattori socio-culturali possono rappresentare un fattore di rischio per lo sviluppo di DCA.
I media e i social media più recenti hanno un ruolo importante nel determinare l’identità individuale, diffondendo messaggi mediatici su come deve essere un oggetto o soggetto.
Il monopolio che hanno sul corpo ideale femminile ha un impatto negativo sul benessere individuale, in particolare sull’autostima e sulla percezione della propria immagine corporea, esponendo gli utenti allo sviluppo di disturbi alimentari.
Durante il lockdown per Covid-19, a causa delle conseguenze sociali che questo virus ha causato, come l’isolamento sociale, molti adolescenti hanno iniziato a sviluppare disturbi alimentari, tra cui l’anoressia nervosa.Anorexia Nervosa is one of the most common and dangerous eating disorders among adolescents. As adolescence is a critical and sensitive period of development in which teenegers live sudden and unexpected physical and psychological changes, many socio-cultural factors may represent a risk factor for the development of DCA.
Media and social media have an important role in determining individual identity by disseminating media messages about what an object or subject should look like.
Their monopoly on the ideal female body has a negative impact on individual well-being, particularly self-esteem and perception of one's body image, exposing users to the development of eating disorders.
During the lockdown for Covid-19, due to the social consequences this virus caused, such as social isolation, many adolescents began to develop eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa
Yoga practice and sustainable diet
Full text linkopenIl cambiamento climatico rappresenta una delle sfide globali più complesse che deve affrontare l’umanità. Il riscaldamento globale è legato a uno stile di vita sempre meno sostenibile da parte dell’uomo, alimentato dai principi e dai valori della cultura occidentale.
In questo contesto diventa sempre più urgente la necessità di un cambio di paradigma, volto alla salvaguardia del pianeta e degli esseri viventi che lo abitano.
Lo yoga è una disciplina olistica ampiamente riconosciuta per benefici fisici e mentali.
Lo yoga, oltre ad essere una pratica fisica, promuove uno stile di vita basato sulla presenza mentale e consapevolezza, nonché sui principi di sostenibilità e armonia con l’ambiente.
L’obiettivo della presente ricerca è quello di indagare la relazione tra la pratica yoga e il comportamento alimentare sostenibile, nel contesto italiano.
L’ipotesi di ricerca è che la pratica yoga promuova il consumo alimentare sostenibile attraverso una maggiore mindfulness, un maggior benessere psicologico, una maggiore connessione con la natura e una maggiore global citizenship.
Per indagare queste ipotesi di ricerca è stato somministrato un questionario online, tramite la piattaforma Qualtrics. I partecipanti sono stati divisi in due gruppi: praticanti yoga (N = 38) e non praticanti yoga (N = 70). Le variabili dipendenti prese in esame riguardano la conoscenza alimentare (consapevolezza dell’impatto del consumo alimentare sull’ambiente), le abitudini alimentari (comportamenti alimentari quotidiani), le intenzioni a ridurre il consumo di carne e le motivazioni (personale, prosociale e morale) che guidano il comportamento alimentare.
L’analisi dei dati è stata condotta tramite l’utilizzo del software SPSS. È stato effettuato un t-test per il confronto tra gruppi, l’indice di Pearson per analizzare le correlazioni tra le variabili e i modelli di regressione per testare la presenza di effetti di mediazione.
I risultati hanno mostrato che la pratica yoga è positivamente correlata con la conoscenza alimentare, con le intenzioni a ridurre la carne, con la motivazione prosociale e morale a consumare determinati alimenti, attraverso una relazione indiretta mediata dalla connessione con la natura.
Invece, non è stata confermata la correlazione tra yoga e abitudini alimentari, e neanche tra pratica yoga e motivazione personale. Inoltre, non è emersa significativa la mediazione del benessere, della mindfulness e della global citizenship nell’associazione tra pratica yoga e alimentazione.Climate change is one of the most complex global challenges humanities faces today. Global warming is tied to an increasingly unsustainable human lifestyle, driven by principles and values of western culture. In this context, the urgency for a paradigm shift aimed at protecting the planet and living beings becomes ever more pressing.
Yoga is a holistic discipline known for its physical and mental benefits. Beyond being a physical practice, yoga promotes a lifestyle based on awareness and mindfulness, as well as sustainable value and harmony with the environment.
The main aim of the research is to investigate the relationship between yoga practice and sustainable diet, in the Italian context.
The hypothesis is that yoga practice promotes sustainable food consumption through mindfulness, psychological well-being, connection with nature and global citizenship.
To explore these hypotheses, an online questionnaire was submitted, by Qualtrics platform. Participants were split into two groups: yoga practitioners (N = 38) and non practitioners (N = 70). The dependent variable explored includes food knowledge (awareness of environmental impact of food production and consumption), eating attitude (daily eating behavior), intentions to reduce meat consumption and motivations (personal, pro-social and moral) that drive the food consumption.
Data analyses were conducted by SPSS software. T-test was used for group comparison, Pearson coefficient was used to analyze the relationship between variables, and regression models were applied to test the mediation effect.
The result showed that yoga practice was positively correlated with food knowledge, intentions to reduce meat consumption, prosocial and moral motivation, through an indirect relationship mediated by connection with nature.
Instead, no direct correlation was found between yoga and eating attitudes such as yoga and personal motivation. Furthermore, no significant mediation of psychological well-being, mindfulness and global citizenship emerged
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
