Abstract:
The retail landscape includes a vast array of clothing choices, yet style options remain extremely limited for Canadian women in the plus-size category (sizes 14W‐40W). Our study empowered women who wear size 20+ by bringing them into the conversation about plus-size apparel design and development. Few studies have identified clothing solutions utilized by plus-size women or how clothing impacts their feelings about themselves, and there is no research on the clothing needs of women in the upper plus-size range. We recruited participants through Facebook posts to plus-size communities and clot

Abstract:
Feminist scholars have long critiqued the fashion industry’s ultra-thin beauty standards as harmful to women. Combining data from three qualitative studies of women’s clothing retailers—of bras, plus-size clothing, and bridal wear—we shift the analytical focus away from glamorized media images toward the seemingly mundane realm of clothing size standards, examining how women encounter, understand, and navigate these standards in their daily lives. We conceptualize clothing size standards as “floating signifiers,” given their lack of consistency within and across brands and the extent to which

The enforcement of beauty standards has caused anxiety for plus size women because it can lead to bullying. In reality, bullying still appears in social media activities and is even considered normal by most people without thinking about the impact on plus size women. Seeing this phenomenon, there is a need for a body positivity movement. The body positivity movement can promote self-love and acceptance of bodies of all shapes, sizes, or appearances.

Four-week-old male mice (C57BL/6) were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment groups: a high-fat diet plus 5% dimethyl sulfoxide (vehicle), high-fat diet plus 2 mg/kg of forskolin (dissolved in 5% dimethyl sulfoxide) and high-fat diet plus 4 mg/kg of forskolin (dissolved in 5% dimethyl sulfoxide). Forskolin or dimethyl sulfoxide was administered intraperitoneally every two days. The results indicated that no significant difference wa

Coconut crab (Birgus latro) is a crustacean that has a large size until four kilograms. The study aimed to analyze sex ratio and growth pattern including the relationship of thorax length - body weight, thorax width - body weight and cephalothorax length plus rostrum - body weight in Daeo (Morotai Island), Laigoma (South Halmahera District) and Fitako (North Halmahera District). The sex ratio was determined using χ2 test and the growth pattern was tested by the b value through t test. The results showed sex ratio of 1: 0.9 in Daeo (n = 581), 1: 0.6 in Laigoma (n = 24), and 1: 2 in Fitako (n =

Abstract:
Leptin, the product of the obese gene, reduces food intake and body weight in rats and mice, whereas administration of the gut-peptide CCK reduces meal size but not body weight. In the current experiments, we report that repeated daily combination of intracerebroventricular leptin and intraperitoneal CCK results in significantly greater loss of body weight than does leptin alone. However, leptin plus CCK treatment does not synergistically reduce the size of individual 30-min sucrose meals during this period, and the effect of leptin-CCK combination on daily chow intake, while significant, is s

Abstract In 2015, Lane Bryant, one of the first plus-size retailers, launched #PlusIsEqual, a social-marketing campaign to promote equality for fat bodies. Before this campaign, the intersections of social causes and marketing were largely absent from the fashion media landscape. The purpose of this study was to analyse the reaction to Lane Bryant's campaign by following and analysing the Twitter hashtag and campaign website for six months. Notions of the fat body as beautiful were met mostly with positive reactions, which highlights how users who engaged with the campaign, who themselves may

Abstract:
Abstract The quest for the so-called perfect body has been an issue in Brazilian society for a long time, especially for women. A number of “digital influencers” perform a fitness lifestyle, producing subjectivities entangled with an idea of success and “well managing oneself.” However, as happiness is constructed as a mandatory “individual engineering project,” more recently, female influencers have emerged who go against standards of beauty taken as oppressive. They embrace other physiques as forms of self-expression and finding joy, mostly the “big” body. Both forms of self-construction are

Western media globalization is implicated in the spread of the thin body ideal to traditional societies. Qatar—a small conservative Middle-Eastern country—has recently witnessed rapid Westernization, but the influence of Western media icons on women’s body image dissatisfaction has rarely been studied here. A 2 (celebrity or model) × 3 (thin, average, or heavy) plus a control condition between-subject experiment tested the primary hypothesis that exposure to images of thin Western models or celebrities promotes a thinner body ideal compared to neutral images.

Troublesome physical and additional physiological problems in relation to the female body are frequently caused due to the poor design of various bra components.

The present study examined two contrasting multilevel model structures to describe the developmental (longitudinal) changes in strength and aerobic power in children: 1) an additive polynomial structure and 2) a multiplicative structure with allometric body size components. On the basis of the maximum log-likelihood criterion, the multiplicative “allometric” model was shown to be superior to the additive polynomial model when fitted to the data from two published longitudinal studies and to provide more plausible solutions within and beyond the range of observations.The multilevel regression a

Green tree frog (Hyla cinerea) tadpoles were exposed immediately after hatching to aluminum (nominally 0, 150, 250, 400 μg/L) at pH 4.5 or 5.5, plus a control (pH 7.0, 0 μg/L Al) for 96 h. Mortality increased with increasing Al concentration at pH 4.5 but not at pH 5.5. Among surviving tadpoles, body size was significantly reduced at higher Al concentrations at both pH 4.5 and 5.5. At pH 4.5, analysis of covariance indicated that maximal swimming speed was positively correlated with tadpole total length and differed among Al treatments; tadpoles at higher Al levels swam more slowly.
