The study was conducted to determine and compare the satisfaction levels of the students participating in the Universities 2nd Handball League competitions on body parts and body features and the success of their teams. The study group consisted of n=213 (111 female, 102 male) students between 18-24 years of age who participated in 2016-2017 Universities 2nd Handball League competitions (8 Female Teams, 8 Male Teams). The “Body Parts and Body Features Satisfaction Scale” was used as the measurement tool. There are 26 items for women and 27 items for men in this scale. The One-Way Variance Analysis and Tukey Test were used in the comparison of the satisfaction scores of the male handball players from their body parts with the success levels in competitions, and the Kruskal Wallis Test and Mann Whitney U-Test were used in female participants.According to the satisfaction from body parts and features average scores, the differences between the male and female teams were found to be statistically significant (p<0,05). These differences were detected in İbrahim Çeçen, Erzincan and Doğu Akdeniz University teams in men; and in Atatürk, Sütçü İmam and Erciyes University teams in women.As a result, although there was a statistically significant difference between the average satisfaction scores of the teams, which were the 1st and the last in the tournament, in terms of body parts and features, it was also determined that this situation was not influential on the success rating of the teams.

In this two-part study, the psychometric properties of the Body Parts Satisfaction Scale, an extensively used body image attitudes measure, were tested. In Study 1-A, the two-factor structure of the Body Parts Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BPSS-R)—Satisfaction With Body and Satisfaction With Face—was established through exploratory procedures with a racially diverse sample of women (66.7% White American, 17.6% African American, 6.3% Mexican American, 5% Asian American, 0.6% Native American, and 3.8% unreported). In Study 1-B, the two-factors were validated through confirmatory procedures with a matched racially diverse sample of women (71.9% White American, 14.0% African American, 5.3% Mexican American, 4.7% Asian American, 1.2% Native American, and 2.9% unreported). Correlational analyses supported the construct and concurrent validity of the factors. To learn more about body image attitudes within racial/ethnic minorities, Study 2 examined the two-factor solution and psychometric properties in an independent sample of Mexican American women. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the two-factor solution fit the data, and correlations with other psychological and eating disorder measures supported the factor's construct and concurrent validity. Further, the two factors were unrelated to a measure of acculturation and to generational level living in the U. S., which suggests that body satisfaction may be independent of the acculturation process.

Full textAbstract:
The paper describes the factorial structure of the Italian version of the Body Satisfaction Scale, a simple self-report questionnaire designed to assess satisfaction with 16 body parts. The results suggest that the structure of the questionnaire can be adequately represented by three different factors. Even if this solution is different from the one obtained in the original English samples, this interpretation was confirmed by a cross-validation on 806 subjects, a clinical sample and two normal samples. This result may be useful for the screening of subjects at risk for eating-disorders because it makes possible prediction of targeted areas of dissatisfaction which is not generally possible with other inventories. The analysis of the factor loadings also suggested that three items should be removed (teeth, eyes, and ears) from the Italian version

This study aims to test the validity and develop body image scale measurement tools. The development of this measuring instrument is based on Cash's theory (2012) which consists of 5 aspects namely appearance evaluation, appearance orientation, satisfaction with body parts, anxiety of being fat and categorizing body size. Respondents in this study numbered 196 vocational students in the District of West Semarang with cluster random sampling technique. From the EFA obtained KMO value of 0.762 and experienced changes in aspects into 2 aspects namely appearance evaluation and satisfaction with appearance.

Full textAbstract:
A new assessment tool is proposed for measuring the attitude to individual parts of one's body, applicable to persons with physical disabilities. The forms for testing contain schematic images of the man figure and person's face, on which the sections are marked out. It is necessary to put a specific rating on a 5-point scale in the each segment of body and face. Approbation was carried out in adolescents 11-18 years old with typical development (ATD, 103 people) and with motor disabilities and IQ within normal range (AMD, 31 people). Specific and averaged assessments of the face, body, limbs, etc. were obtained. Psychometric analysis showed that the adolescents of both groups basically assess their body with points 4 and 5. In both groups, there are about 9% of respondents with low ratings (below 3.5). There are significant sex differences in the estimates of certain parts of the body. The ANOVA reveals reliable effects of interaction of the factors of sex, age and the presence of disorders in comparison of the ATD and AMD groups. In particular, the lowest scores are typical for girls 11-14 years of the AMD group. The validity of the proposed technique is indicated by regular correlations with other body image estimates, self-esteem and neuroticism. The proposed diagnostic tool can be recommended for research purposes in work with adolescents and adults with physical appearance defects.

The features of attitude to the body of adults (from 21 to 65 years old; M=40,8) with consequences of cerebral palsy (13 persons) and spinal cord injury (15 persons) of varying severity and 40 persons (from 20 to 64 years old; M=35,3) without disabilities were studied. Two questionnaires with positive statements (Body Appreciation Scale and Functionality Appreciation Scale) were used, as well as a specially compiled questionnaire for assessing the negative attitude towards the body of persons with visible impairments and a non-verbal method for direct quantitative assessment of satisfaction with certain parts of the body. It was found that techniques aimed at direct assessment of body parts or assessment of negative attitude to the body reveal significant differences between healthy and disabled persons, indicating lower body assessments in persons with pathology, regardless of its type and severity, while questionnaires with positive statements can’t detect these differences. The level of positive attitude to the body in motor pathology is not lower than in the healthy persons. Analysis of the interaction of factors “type” vs “severity” of pathology reveals significant differences in the assessment of individual parts of the body (especially the legs and buttocks): persons with severe consequences of cerebral palsy rated their body areas higher than persons with severe forms of spinal trauma. The importance of the concept of a positive body image for the rehabilitation of persons with movement disorders is discussed.

Body image is an important component of the complex mechanism of personal identity. The subjective component of bodyimage refers to a person's satisfaction with their body size or specific parts of your body. The aim of this study was to verifythe ability to correlate body image with the actual image of others. This study presents empirical characteristics and crosssectionalstudy. Twenty-nine subject adults, students in Physical Education course and volunteers were selected randomly.The instrument used was based on the Scale of Silhouettes specially constructed for this study. Results showed that womenwere statistically different from men with average responses always with higher values. While we treat only the individualand their weight, the social standards accepted continue to exert a negative influence on people and their behavior.

The purpose of this study was to examine both perceived and ideal body-image to establish if the process of adolescence was a contributory factor. A distorting mirror and silhouette pictures were used to examine the image in two groups of 59 pre- and 41 postadolescent girls. The girls' perception of themselves was reasonably accurate yet both groups had a significantly slimmer mean ideal image, irrespective of adolescent status. The differences between the two groups were nonsignificant whether using the distorting mirror or the pictures. The only difference to be observed was when using a body-satisfaction scale. The postadolescents were significantly less satisfied about their nonhead body parts. Scores from the mirror and the pictures question the assumption that body-image dissatisfaction is a postadolescent phenomenon. This should be a cause for concern as eating disorders, which appear to be linked to body-image, are being observed in younger children. The comparability between scores for the pictures and the distorting mirror opens the possibility of home-based therapy in the treatment of perceptual and eating disorders.

Introduction Depressed tethered scar is a common problem that can cause emotional, social and behavioural problems, especially when it involves the exposed body parts. Several techniques have been described for treating these depressed scars, but none of these can fulfil the optimal results. Aim Evaluating the aesthetic outcome of using a double vest lipodermal flaps for treating depressed facial scars. Materials and methods The study included 25 patients with depressed facial scars who underwent scar revision. Their mean age was 31 years. Under local anaesthesia, the scarred area was de-epithelialised and double dart lipodermal flaps were used for revision. Visual analogue and Vancouver scar scales were used as subjective and objective parameters of evaluation, respectively. Results All the patients followed up for five to eight months. No complications were observed during the scar healing period. Patients satisfaction according to the visual analogue scale showed an average value of 8. The mean total scale according to the Vancouver scar scale was 2.6. Conclusion The new technique of using double vest lipodermal flaps is simple and offers a promising alternative for revising depressed scars.

Full textAbstract:
Given the centrality of body dissatisfaction in the manifestation of health risk behaviors (e.g., eating disorders, muscle dysmorphia) and psychological distress in men, the ability to measure it accurately is essential. Across two studies, the psychometric properties and factor structure of a new measure of male body satisfaction were established. The Body Parts Satisfaction Scale for Men (BPSS-M) was found to have three scores: full body muscularity and leanness (18 items), upper body (12 items), and legs (4 items). All three scores were internally and temporally reliable, and support was found for the convergent, discriminant, and concurrent validity of the scores. The BPSS-M represents an advance in the measurement of male body image, providing researchers and clinicians with a versatile and valid way to assess this important construct.

Full textAbstract:
Although eating disorders have been the focus of much research, the inclusion of minority populations has been minimal. A recent review of the literature by Dolan (1991) has found that eating disorders were most likely to be present in non-White women who were exposed to Western societies and cultures. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine personality, physical, and cultural correlates of bulimic symptomatology in a sample of African American college women. The Bulimia Test Revised (BULIT-R) was used to assess bulimia symptoms. The African American Acculturation Scale (AAAS), the Beliefs about Attractiveness Scale Revised (BAAR factors 1 and 2), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES), the Centers for Epidemiological Depression Scale (CES-D), Body Parts Satisfaction Scale (BPSS), and body mass were the independent variables hypothesized to predict bulimic symptoms. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that body mass, depression, and low self-esteem were the best predictors of bulimic symptomatology, together accounting for 38% of the variance. Beliefs about attractiveness and body satisfaction were related to bulimic symptoms but not when considered simultaneously with the other variables. Acculturation was not predictive of bulimic symptoms. 0-ordered correlations revealed that beliefs about attractiveness and body satisfaction were correlated with bulimic symptoms. Acculturation was not related to any variables except depression. Implications for counseling interventions as well as directions for future research are discussed.

Estudo metodológico, com objetivos de adaptar a Satisfaction With Appearance Scale - SWAP para o português - Brasil e avaliar a validade e a confiabilidade da versão adaptada em uma amostra de pacientes brasileiros que sofreram queimaduras. A SWAP avalia a satisfação com a imagem corporal de pessoas que sofreram queimaduras. Quanto maior o escore pior a satisfação com a imagem corporal. O processo de adaptação foi realizado como segue: tradução do instrumento original, síntese das traduções, revisão da tradução realizada por um comitê de juízes, retrotradução, síntese das retrotraduções, comparação da versão original em inglês com a versão consensual em inglês, avaliação pelo autor do instrumento original, reavaliação pelo comitê de juízes, validação semântica dos itens e pré-teste da versão final. A validade de constructo convergente foi avaliada pelo teste de correlação de Pearson entre o escore obtido pela aplicação da SWAP e os resultantes da medida de constructos correlatos - depressão (Índice de Depressão de Beck); autoestima (Escala de Auto-Estima de Rosenberg); qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (Short Form Health Suvey-36) e estado de saúde de vítimas de queimaduras (Burn Specific Health Scale-Revised). A validade discriminante foi testada por meio de grupos conhecidos pelo teste t de Student para amostras independentes, associando a média da SWAP adaptada com as médias obtidas com sexo, superfície corporal queimada e percepção da visibilidade da queimadura por outras pessoas. A validade de constructo relacionada à dimensionalidade foi verificada por meio da Análise Fatorial Confirmatória (AFC) e Análise Fatorial Exploratória (AFE). A confiabilidade foi avaliada pela consistência interna dos itens (alfa de Cronbach) e pela correlação item-total. O nível de significância adotado foi 0,05. Participaram da etapa de validação da SWAP 106 pacientes queimados com média de idade de 37,5 anos (Desvio-Padrão - DP=13,2) em atendimento ambulatorial na Unidade de Queimados do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto. Na análise da validade de constructo convergente, de acordo com as hipóteses, as correlações entre as medidas da SWAP e a medida dos constructos correlatos variaram de moderadas a fortes e foram estatisticamente significantes (r=0,30 a 0,77). A SWAP adaptada apresentou capacidade de discriminar os grupos com percepção de visibilidade da queimadura por outras pessoas e percepção de não visibilidade (p<0,001). A consistência interna foi de 0,88, e a correlação item-total variou de moderada a forte (r=0,35 a 0,73). A primeira AFC com quatro fatores não apresentou índices de ajuste ao modelo adequados (? 2 =165,2/ p<0,0001; ? 2 /g.l=2,335; AGFI=0,69; RMSEA=0,11; CFI=0,85) A AFE resultou em três fatores com percentual de variância total explicada de 63,2%. Foi feita a segunda AFC com três fatores que apresentou índices de ajuste ao modelo mais próximos dos indicados pela literatura (? 2 =159,46/ p<0,0001; ? 2 /g.l=2,155; AGFI=0,73; RMSEA=0,10; CFI=0,86). Conclui-se que a SWAP adaptada para o português apresentou-se válida e confiável para ser utilizada com indivíduos brasileiros que sofreram queimadurasMethodological study to adapt the Satisfaction With Appearance Scale - SWAP to Brazilian Portuguese and assess the validity and reliability of the adapted version in a sample of Brazilian burns patients. The SWAP assesses burns victims\' satisfaction with their body image. The higher the score, the worse the satisfaction with the body image. The adaptation process was developed as follows: translation of the original instrument, synthesis of the translations, review of the translation by an expert committee, back-translation, synthesis of the back-translations, comparison between the original version in English and the consensus version in English, assessment by the author of the original instrument, re-assessment by the expert committee, semantic validation of the items and pretest of the final version. The convergent construct validity was assessed using Pearson\'s correlation test between the SWAP score and the scores resulting from the measuring of correlated constructs - depression (Beck Depression Inventory); self-esteem (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale); health-related quality of life (Short Form Health Survey-36) and health status of burns victims (Burn Specific Health Scale-Revised). The discriminant validity was tested by means of known groups using Student\'s t-test for independent samples, associating the adapted SWAP score with the means obtained for gender, total body surface area and perceived visibility of the burn by other people. The construct validity related to the dimensionality was verified using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). The reliability was assessed by means of the internal consistency of the items (Cronbach\'s alpha) and the item-total correlation. The adopted significance level was 0.05. The participants in the validation phase of the SWAP were 106 burned patients with a mean age of 37.5 years (Standard Deviation - SD=13.2), receiving outpatient care at the Burns Unit of the Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto. In the convergent construct validity analysis, the correlations according to the hypotheses were moderate to strong and statistically significant between the SWAP scores and the correlated construct measures (r=0.30 to 0.77). The adapted SWAP was able to distinguish between the groups with perceived visibility of the burn to other people and perceived non-visibility (p<0.001). The internal consistency corresponded to 0.88 and the item-total correlation varied between moderate and strong (r=0.35 to 0.73). The first CFA with four factors did not show appropriate model adjustment indices (? 2 =165.2/ p<0.0001; ? 2 /g.l=2.335; AGFI=0.69; RMSEA=0.11; CFI=0.85). The EFA resulted in three factors with a total explained variance percentage of 63.2%. A second CFA was applied with three factors, which showed model adjustment indices that were closer to those indicated in the literature (? 2 =159.46/ p<0.0001; ? 2 /g.l=2.155; AGFI=0.73; RMSEA=0.10; CFI=0.86). In conclusion, the SWAP adapted to Portuguese was valid and reliable for use with Brazilian burns victims

Full textAbstract:
The aims of the studies were to assess body image perceptions, the role of stress and other possible associated psychopathologies within a non-clinical sample.
The prevalence of body image concern is increasing and is widely considered as secondary to evolving socio-cultural trends. Negative self-perceptions about body image can be manifest as measurable indicators of physiological stress, or even psychopathology. This thesis describes two quantitative studies into the role and relevance of various causative factors in the development of negative body image in cohorts of volunteers drawn from the general population of the University of Bradford in West Yorkshire, UK.
In Study One, subjects (n=360) completed a self-directed questionnaire that psychometrically measured satisfaction/dissatisfaction with personal appearance, queried which external sources influenced those opinions, and correlated these with demographic information. In particular, we sought to examine how a subject¿s opinion about their personal appearance varied with age, gender, ethnicity, mental health, relationship status, sexual orientation and Body Mass Index (BMI). Subjective views regarding personal appearance were determined by answers given to specific body image questions that revealed a subject¿s day-to-day appearance concerns, all preoccupations, and the extent to which these concerns resulted in distress, all social impairment.
Overall, the results demonstrated that BMI values were positively correlated with personal appearance concerns. High BMI values correlated with greater dissatisfaction with personal appearance. Self ratings of appearance values were negatively correlated with BMI scores. Subjects who gave themselves high appearance ratings were relatively unaffected by media influence with regard to their image, compared to subjects rating themselves less attractive. These latter subjects also showed higher peer pressure scores in terms of both the amount of time they compared themselves to peers, and the degree to which peer comparisons affected their self-appearance ratings. Based on responses to the body image questions specifically, the entire cohort of subjects were categorised into principal clusters: those largely unaffected by any body image concerns; and those profoundly distressed by their self assessed body image. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of these findings is that the scores for this latter (n=17) group of subjects on the body image questions revealed a degree of personal distress this is almost identical to the scores expected from those people diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). Collectively, these results suggest that high BMI values in subjects negatively impact on self-appearance ratings, render subjects more prone to media messages that portray body image ideals, and elicit frequent comparisons with peers to validate self-image concerns. Furthermore, severely affected subjects with high BMI scores may show similar psychopathology to that of BDD sufferers. In Study Two, a small cohort of subjects (n=60) were given questionnaires and were interviewed to further investigate self-appearance ratings and mood/depressive traits. The body image questions used in Study One to assess image concerns and the magnitude of distress were repeated in Study Two. Mood and depressive state were measured using the validated Beck¿s Depression Inventory (BDI). In parallel, subjects completed the Derriford Appearance Scale 59 (DAS 59), which is a valid psychometric indication of an individual's perception of their appearance as ¿normal¿ or ¿disfigured¿, and used as a tool by plastic surgeons to inform decisions regarding the necessity for surgery to correct an individual's appearance. Physiological markers were recorded before and after exposure of subjects to a physical and a psychological stressor: these were saliva concentrations of cortisol and sIgA (an immune marker), blood glucose and blood pressure.
The results of Study Two revealed no changes in scores for any of the physiological measures following stressors. BDI scores for most subjects fell within normal ranges, although females scored higher than males, but not at a pathological level. Those subjects with a history of mental illness or those who reported feeling a high degree of stress on a daily basis, or those who expressed greater self-appearance concerns, all had significantly elevated BDI values. Perhaps the most intriguing finding from Study Two, as in Study One, was that subjects again tended to fall within specific categories for body image concerns: those unaffected or minimally affected by body image concerns, and those (n=6) greatly and deleteriously affected by body image concerns. This subsection of subjects also scored very high on the DAS 59 for disfigurement.
On the basis of these findings it would seem that body image concerns may be severe enough for some individuals for them to perceive themselves as actually being disfigured, or that the DAS 59 (a widely used assessment tool in plastic surgery), may not be entirely appropriate for assessment of an individual's need for surgery because it cannot distinguish between those genuinely disfigured and those merely expressing severe body image concerns.

Resumo: A imagem corporal é a representação mental do corpo existencial. É um processo dinâmico, singular e estruturado nas experiências corporais do sujeito. Graças ao dinamismo da imagem corporal, é possível haver adaptação e desenvolvimento dessa imagem mesmo com as constantes alterações que ocorrem nas dimensões física, psíquica e social, vivenciadas pelo idoso em detrimento ao processo de envelhecimento. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi traduzir, adaptar transculturalmente e validar para a língua portuguesa no Brasil as escalas Body Apreciation Scale, Life satisfaction Index for the Third Age e Aging Perception Questionnaire em idosos brasileros. A pesquisa compreendeu duas fases: (1) tradução e adaptação cultural das escalas e (2) Avaliação psicométrica das escalas. Para a realização da primeira fase - tradução e adaptação transcultural das escalas - procedemos com as recomendações do Guia American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons/Institute of Work & Health. (BEATON et al, 2002) seguindo cinco etapas que constou de tradução, síntese das traduções, retrotradução, comitê de peritos e pre-teste. Apenas na última etapa, o pre-teste, seguimos as recomendações de Malhotra (2006) e Ferreira et al. (2011). Na segunda fase da pesquisa, procedemos com a análise psicométrica dos instrumentos, desse modo, estabelecemos evidências de validade do constructo e confiabilidade interna das três escalas através da análise fatorial confirmatória em uma amostra não probabilística de 606 idosos, com idade superior a 60 anos. Todas as escalas reportaram confiabilidade interna, com valores de Alpha de Cronbach e confiabilidade composta adequados, bem como, estabelecemos validade convergente e discriminante. De uma forma geral, para as escalas BAS, LSITA e APQ, a amostra reportou respectivamente, apreciação corporal, satisfação com a vida e percepção positiva do envelhecimento. Pesquisas futuras poderiam investigar a associação desses constructos com outros aspectos inerentes ao processo de envelhecimento utilizando amostras probabilísticas e estudo com desenhos metodológicos diferentes, como por exemplo, longitudinais. Além disso, poderiam investigar a relação de causalidade, através da Modelagem de Equação Estrutural, entre os três constructos. Concluindo, acreditamos que a tradução, adaptação transcultural e a realização dos estudos psicométricos das escalas podem contribuir para as áreas de saúde e social na compreensão do comportamento da imagem corporal na velhice
Abstract: The body image is the mental representation of the existential body. It is a dynamic, singular and structured process in the one's body experience. Due to the body image dynamism it is possible to have adaption and development of this image, even with the constant changes that occur in the, physical, psychic and social dimensions lived by the elderly rather than the aging process. The aim of this research was to adapt transculturally and to validate to the Brazil's Portuguese language the scales Body Appreciation Scale, Life satisfaction Index for the Third Age and Aging Perception Questionnaire in the Brazilian elderly. The research comprised in two phases: (1) translation and cultural adaptation of the scales and (2) psychometric evaluation of the scales. To accomplish the first phase - translation and adaptation of the scales -the procedure was according to the recommendations of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons/Institute of Work & Health. (BEATON et al, 2002) following five steps which consisted of translation, back translation, experts committee, and pre-test. Just in the last step, the pre-test, it was followed the Malhotra (2006) and Ferreira et al., (2011) recommendations. On the second phase of the research, the procedure was with the psychometric analysis of the instruments, so that, it was established evidences of the construct validation and internal reliability of the three scales through the confirmatory factorial analysis in a non-probabilistic sample of 606 elderly, over 60 years. All the scales reported internal reliability, with Cronbach alpha values and appropriated composed reliability as the discriminant and convergent validation. In general, for the scales BAS, LSITA e APQ, the sample reported respectively, body appreciation, life satisfaction and positive aging perception. Future researches could investigate the association of those constructs with other intrinsic aspects to the aging process using probabilistic samples and studies with different methodological drawings, as for instance, longitudinal. Besides they could investigate causality relation, through Structural Equation Modeling, among the three constructs. However, it was believed that the translation, transcultural adaptation and the accomplishment of the psychometric studies of the scales can bring contribution to the health and social areas into the understanding of the behavior of the body image during the old age

Full textAbstract:
The aims of the studies were to assess body image perceptions, the role of stress and other possible associated psychopathologies within a non-clinical sample. The prevalence of body image concern is increasing and is widely considered as secondary to evolving socio-cultural trends. Negative self-perceptions about body image can be manifest as measurable indicators of physiological stress, or even psychopathology. This thesis describes two quantitative studies into the role and relevance of various causative factors in the development of negative body image in cohorts of volunteers drawn from the general population of the University of Bradford in West Yorkshire, UK. In Study One, subjects (n=360) completed a self-directed questionnaire that psychometrically measured satisfaction/dissatisfaction with personal appearance, queried which external sources influenced those opinions, and correlated these with demographic information. In particular, we sought to examine how a subject's opinion about their personal appearance varied with age, gender, ethnicity, mental health, relationship status, sexual orientation and Body Mass Index (BMI). Subjective views regarding personal appearance were determined by answers given to specific body image questions that revealed a subject's day-to-day appearance concerns, all preoccupations, and the extent to which these concerns resulted in distress, all social impairment. Overall, the results demonstrated that BMI values were positively correlated with personal appearance concerns. High BMI values correlated with greater dissatisfaction with personal appearance. Self ratings of appearance values were negatively correlated with BMI scores. Subjects who gave themselves high appearance ratings were relatively unaffected by media influence with regard to their image, compared to subjects rating themselves less attractive. These latter subjects also showed higher peer pressure scores in terms of both the amount of time they compared themselves to peers, and the degree to which peer comparisons affected their self-appearance ratings. Based on responses to the body image questions specifically, the entire cohort of subjects were categorised into principal clusters: those largely unaffected by any body image concerns; and those profoundly distressed by their self assessed body image. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of these findings is that the scores for this latter (n=17) group of subjects on the body image questions revealed a degree of personal distress this is almost identical to the scores expected from those people diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). Collectively, these results suggest that high BMI values in subjects negatively impact on self-appearance ratings, render subjects more prone to media messages that portray body image ideals, and elicit frequent comparisons with peers to validate self-image concerns. Furthermore, severely affected subjects with high BMI scores may show similar psychopathology to that of BDD sufferers. In Study Two, a small cohort of subjects (n=60) were given questionnaires and were interviewed to further investigate self-appearance ratings and mood/depressive traits. The body image questions used in Study One to assess image concerns and the magnitude of distress were repeated in Study Two. Mood and depressive state were measured using the validated Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI). In parallel, subjects completed the Derriford Appearance Scale 59 (DAS 59), which is a valid psychometric indication of an individual's perception of their appearance as 'normal' or 'disfigured', and used as a tool by plastic surgeons to inform decisions regarding the necessity for surgery to correct an individual's appearance. Physiological markers were recorded before and after exposure of subjects to a physical and a psychological stressor: these were saliva concentrations of cortisol and sIgA (an immune marker), blood glucose and blood pressure. The results of Study Two revealed no changes in scores for any of the physiological measures following stressors. BDI scores for most subjects fell within normal ranges, although females scored higher than males, but not at a pathological level. Those subjects with a history of mental illness or those who reported feeling a high degree of stress on a daily basis, or those who expressed greater self-appearance concerns, all had significantly elevated BDI values. Perhaps the most intriguing finding from Study Two, as in Study One, was that subjects again tended to fall within specific categories for body image concerns: those unaffected or minimally affected by body image concerns, and those (n=6) greatly and deleteriously affected by body image concerns. This subsection of subjects also scored very high on the DAS 59 for disfigurement. On the basis of these findings it would seem that body image concerns may be severe enough for some individuals for them to perceive themselves as actually being disfigured, or that the DAS 59 (a widely used assessment tool in plastic surgery), may not be entirely appropriate for assessment of an individual's need for surgery because it cannot distinguish between those genuinely disfigured and those merely expressing severe body image concerns.

Previous issue date: 2007-04-30As patient-centered approaches become more popular, increasing attention is given to the effects of various health situations in oral health-related quality of life (OHRQL) and body satisfaction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between several aspects related to dental esthetics and body satisfaction, self-evaluation concerning to esthetics, and oral-health related quality of life (OHRQL). This work had a cross-sectional design and its sample comprised subjects aged 13-20 years-old (n = 301; mean age = 16.12; SD = 1.75). The sample was of convenience type, comprising high-school students of a public school from Goiânia. Conditions related to dental esthetics were assessed through a clinical exam following the criteria established by World Health Organization. Self-perception variables were evaluated through the instruments Body Satisfaction Scale (BSS), short-form of Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) and Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ), as well as esthetic self-evaluation and will of change. Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression were used to evaluate the association of variables. There was a low prevalence of dental alterations in the sample assessed. In general, there was a low impact of dental characteristics on OHRQL measures, what may influence on the decision-making process regarding to dental treatment needs.
À medida que as abordagens centradas no paciente se tornam mais difundidas, mais atenção tem sido dada aos efeitos de varias situações de saúde sobre a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal (QVRSB) e outros aspectos relacionados à auto-percepção dos indivíduos. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a associação entre características relacionadas à estética dentária e a satisfação com o corpo, a auto-avaliação estética e a QVRSB. O estudo teve desenho transversal, incluindo 301 adolescentes de 13 a 20 anos de idade (média= 16,12; DP = 1,75). A amostra do estudo foi de conveniência, compreendendo alunos do ensino médio de uma escola pública de Goiânia. Foram verificadas as condições relacionadas à estética dentária através de exame clínico segundo critérios da Organização Mundial de Saúde. As variáveis relacionadas à auto-percepção foram avaliadas através dos instrumentos Escala de Satisfação Corporal (ESC), versão reduzida do Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) e o Questionário de Impacto Psicossocial da Estética Dentária (QIPED), além da auto-avaliação estética e desejo de mudança. Para a análise da associação entre as variáveis foi utilizado o teste de Qui-quadrado e regressão logística múltipla. Houve baixa prevalência de alterações dentárias na amostra pesquisada. De modo geral, houve baixa influência das características dentárias sobre medidas para a avaliação da QVRSB, o que pode influenciar na tomada de decisões clínicas relacionadas ao tratamento odontológico.

Full textAbstract:
Lastly, on the basis of this definition, the author shows how affects shed light on the body-mind relationship and provide an opportunity to produce a mixed discourse that focuses, by turns, on the mental, physical, or psychophysical aspect of affect. The final chapter has two parts: – An analysis of the three categories of affects: mental, physical, and psychophysical – An examination of the variations of Spinoza’s discourse Some affects, such as satisfaction of the mind, are presented as mental, even though they are correlated with the body. Others, such as pain or pleasure, cheerfulness (hilaritas) or melancholy are mainly rooted in the body, even though the mind forms an idea of them. Still others are psychophysical, such as humility or pride, which are expressed at once as bodily postures and states of mind. These affects thus show us how the mind and body are united, all the while expressing themselves differently and specifically, according to their own modalities.

Full textAbstract:
Hellenistic Babylonian figurines with separately made and attached limbs are not a uniform corpus in terms of their iconography or subject matter, but all leave similar visual traces of fragmentation on an otherwise complete miniature body. Rather than interpreting these visual “breaks” as simply an unfortunate side effect of these figurines’ manufacture, the chapter argues that the appearance of broken places actually enriched these objects’ affect by fixating and intensifying user interest on otherwise overlooked body parts. Strikingly, the artificial poses and hyper-real actions of fragmented figurine limbs all operated in the liminal zones of cultural contestation between Greeks and Babylonians: banqueting, childhood, male and female nudity, and sexual attraction. By depicting some of these most difficult points of cross-cultural contention in the miniature scale (where they were less threatening) and in fragmented form (where they were visually interesting), such figurines offered avenues into cross-cultural dialogue and communication.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter reviews body appreciation, which involves holding favorable opinions of the body regardless of actual physical appearance, accepting the body despite perceived imperfections, respecting the body by attending to its needs and engaging in healthy behaviors, and protecting the body by rejecting unrealistic societal appearance ideals. The chapter first presents the measurement of this construct, the original and revised Body Appreciation Scale (the BAS and BAS-2), which yield evidence of reliability and validity in samples across different cultures. Next, the chapter reviews the research on body appreciation, documenting its adaptive links to many indices of psychological well-being and physical health, such as positive affect; life satisfaction; intuitive eating; self-compassion; physical activity (yoga, modern and belly dance); sexual and reproductive health; and physical self-care. Its role as a protective factor against media exposure is also discussed. Last, clinical considerations and directions for future research are presented.

Full textAbstract:
Weight-based stigma and discrimination exist toward individuals whose body size deviates from stringent societal ideals of thinness. Growing concerns about the prevalence and damaging consequences of weight-based bullying, stigma, and discrimination have led to increasing calls for policy measures to protect people from weight-based prejudice on a broader scale. This chapter reviews policy and legal efforts that have been proposed or implemented to facilitate positive embodiment for youth and adults, including evidence on public attitudes about policies and laws that aim to reduce weight-based bullying and discrimination. In addition, policy initiatives and research evidence in North America, Europe, and other parts of the world are highlighted, including the strengths and limitations of these efforts. Directions for future policy research and advocacy efforts are identified that can improve on existing legal initiatives to promote equitable treatment of individuals of diverse body sizes.

Obesity is defined in different ways in different parts of the world, though an excess of adipose tissue may be the easiest acceptable definition of the problem. In most of the world, the body mass index, easily calculated using the two metrics of height and weight, is used as a surrogate marker of obesity. The limitations of the body mass index include that it does not account for fat mass or distribution and the ‘healthy’ obese are clubbed with the unhealthy. Also, due to its heterogeneity, a simple scale of obesity is inapplicable to the Caucasian population compared to the people of Mongoloid descent and many Eastern countries have used different cut-offs to label overweight and obese.

Beginning around Session 5 or 6, emotional processing of the trauma memories can be made more efficient by having the patient focus primarily or exclusively on the most currently distressing parts of the trauma, which the authors term the “hot spots.” The therapist helps the patient identify his hot spots and then select one to begin the imaginal exposure. This should be one of the most distressing parts, if not the most distressing part, of the trauma. Therapy continues with the focus on the patient’s hot spots during the imaginal exposure until each has been sufficiently processed, as reflected by diminished Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS) levels and the patient’s behavior (e.g., body movement, facial expression). This may take several sessions, depending on the number of hot spots, the patient’s pace, and the amount of time spent listening to exposure recordings as homework.

The primary mood disorders, major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BD), constitute leading causes of disability on a global scale, yet little is known about their pathogenesis. These conditions are not associated with gross brain pathology or clear animal models for spontaneous recurrent mood episodes.Thus, the development of neuroimagingtechnologies that allowin vivo characterization of anatomy, physiology, and neurochemistryin human subjects withmood disorders has enabled significant advances toward elucidating their pathophysiology. Crucially, the interpretion of abnormalities found using these technologies in mood disorders has depended upon the concomitant delineation of anatomical networks that support emotional behavior. Early studies identified the amygdala, hippocampus, and other parts of what was termed the “limbic” system as central parts of the emotional brain. Beginning in the 1970’s and 1980’s and continuing through the last 15 years, neuroanatomical techniques based on axonal transport have been applied extensively to the limbic system and prefrontal cortex of monkeys. With these methods, a system has been described that links the medial prefrontal cortex and a few related cortical areas to the amygdala, the ventral striatum and pallidum, the medial thalamus, the hypothalamus, and the periaqueductal gray and other parts of the brainstem. A large body of human data from functional and structural imaging, as well as analysis of lesions and histological material indicates that this system is centrally involved in mood disorders.

Full textAbstract:
The Late Bronze Age Urnfield Period in Central Europe (BA D, Ha A/B, c.1300 to 800 BC) is characterized by the dominance of cremation as a burial rite. The simple appearance of urn burials give an impression of simplicity, but they are the endpoint of a chain of actions and practices that constitute the funerary ritual, many of which may not be simple at all, but include a large number of people and resources. The washing, dressing, and furnishing of the body as it is laid out prior to cremation leave no traces. The funerary pyre, as spectacular as it may have looked, smelled, and felt during the cremation, preserves only under exceptional circumstances. The rituals and feasts associated with selecting the cremated remains from the funerary pyre and placing them in a suitable organic container or a ceramic urn prior to their deposition do not leave much evidence. The large-scale spread of cremation during the Late Bronze Age has traditionally been explained by the movements of peoples (e.g. Kraft 1926; Childe 1950), or a change in religious beliefs (e.g. Alexander 1979). More recently, a change in how the human body is ontologically understood and how it has to be transformed after death is seen as the more likely underlying cause (Harris et al. 2013; Robb and Harris 2013; Sørensen and Rebay-Salisbury in prep.), although a simple and single reason is rarely the driver of such pan-European developments. This chapter will be concerned with another transition, the change from cremation back to inhumation, several hundred years later during the Early Iron Age, and investigates its background and causes. In Central Europe, cremation is given up as the solitary funerary rite, and a range of different options, including inhumations in burial mounds, bi-ritual cemeteries, and new forms of cremation graves emerge. This change happens at a different pace in the various areas of the Hallstatt Culture and adjacent areas, which will be surveyed here. Despite doubts about the validity of the term ‘Hallstatt Culture’ as a cultural entity (e.g. Müller-Scheeßel 2000), it remains a convenient shorthand to the Early Iron Age in Central Europe, c.800–450 BC, in eastern France, southern Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, and parts of northern Italy.

Full textAbstract:
Stress is a tensor quantity that describes the mechanical force density (force per unit area) on the complete surface of a domain inside a material body. A stress exists wherever one part of a body exerts a force on neighboring parts. Its orientation is not tied to any particular directions that are intrinsic to the material like, say, crystallographic axes. It is thus distinct from the matter tensors that were discussed in the preceding chapter, all of which have definitive orientations within a crystal or other anisotropic material; it is called a field tensor (and so is strain). The definition of stress depends on the concept of a continuum. Let f(xi) be a single-valued function defined for every point xi in a region. This function is said to be continuous at the point xi if the following holds for all paths of approach of xi to °xi:. . . f(xi) → f(°xi) as xi → °xi (4.1)· . . . Equivalently, for any number ∊, no matter how small, there exists a neighborhood of nonzero radius around the point xi in which: . . . . 〈f(xi) − f(°xi)〉2 < ∊, (4.2) . . . for all points xi in that neighborhood. A continuum is an idealized material whose physical attributes are continuous functions of position. Thus neighboring points remain neighbors, and a continuum cannot have gaps or jumps (discontinuities) in its properties. Surfaces bounding gaps or defining discontinuities must be specially treated in continuum mechanics. Examples are surfaces between two fluids of differing density or viscosity, or between solids with different thermal conductivity or elastic properties. Real materials are never continua; they are discontinuous at the atomic scale, and often at larger scales as well. The notion of a continuum is, therefore, only a macroscopic approximation, but it allows useful mathematical approaches to the treatment of real phenomena.

This chapter describes the basic architecture of the Jack interactive system. The primary tools available to the Jack user involve direct manipulation of the displayed objects and figures on the screen. With articulated figures, movement of one part will naturally affect the position of other parts. Constraints are used to specify these relationships, and an inverse kinematics algorithm is used to achieve constraint satisfaction. As a consequence of user actions, certain global postural manipulations of the entire human figure are performed by the system. This chapter presents the direct spatial manipulations offered in Jack and shows how constraints are defined and maintained. One particular application of the body constraints is included: the generation of the reachable workspace of a chain of joints. 3D direct manipulation is a technique for controlling positions and orientations of geometric objects in a 3D environment in a non-numerical, visual way. It uses the visual structure as a handle on a geometric object. Direct manipulation techniques derive their input from pointing devices and provide a good correspondence between the movement of the physical device and the resulting movement of the object that the device controls. This is kinesthetic correspondence. Much research demonstrates the value of kinesthetically appropriate feedback [Bie87, BLP78, Sch83]. An example of this correspondence in a mouse-based translation operation is that if the user moves the mouse to the left, the object moves in such a way that its image on the screen moves to the left as well. The lack of kinesthetic feedback can make a manipulation system very difficult to use, akin to drawing while looking at your hand through a set of inverting mirrors. Providing this correspondence in two dimensions is fairly straightforward, but in three dimensions it is considerably more complicated. The advantage of the direct manipulation paradigm is that it is intuitive: it should always be clear to the user how to move the input device to cause the object to move in a desired direction. It focuses the user’s attention on the object, and gives the user the impression of manipulating the object itself.

Aim/Purpose: To investigate anxiety in online courses and its relationship with overall online courses satisfaction as it may vary with online courses experience. Background: Delivering online courses in higher education institutions continue to increase. Anxieties seem to be persistent. Although there are many technology and internet related anxieties studies, online courses anxieties are relatively scarce. The cause for this anxiety has not been resolved or addressed sufficiently. This study takes part in this quest. Methodology: A fully online course with not face to face interaction was used for the study. A survey methodology approach was used for the anxiety scale measurements. Over 1400 students participated in the survey. Contribution: Students taking online courses continue to be challenged with anxieties. Their experiences (number of courses taken) with online courses may influence their anxieties and satisfaction levels, but that has not been studies. We contribute to this body of literature. Findings: One third of students reported to continue to experience anxiety while taking their online courses. The effect of their anxieties on their satisfaction does not seem to be influenced by their online course experience. Recommendations for Practitioners: Focus on the various elements that may influence anxieties and satisfaction of students while taking courses. For IT designers, interface and point of interactions may be the aspect to pay attention to, while professors would need to consider course pedagogy and its interaction within the IT learning environment. Recommendation for Researchers: Anxiety in online learning should take front stage as it represents an underlying stream of influence on all research in the field. Further study of the effect of online course experience on satisfaction and anxiety is necessary. Impact on Society: Anxiety in learning has many detrimental effects that last a student’s career and personality over their entire life. The impact of reducing anxieties while online learning is significant and tangible especially that online learning is at its initial stages of an exponential growth and will change the world sooner than later. Future Research: Pedagogy for efficient and effective online courses to reduce anxieties and in-crease satisfaction.

Person Re-identification (ReID) is a challenging retrieval task that requires matching a person's image across non-overlapping camera views. The quality of fulfilling this task is largely determined on the robustness of the features that are used to describe the person. In this paper, we show the advantage of jointly utilizing multi-scale abstract information to learn powerful features over full body and parts. A scale normalization module is proposed to balance different scales through residual-based integration. To exploit the information hidden in non-rigid body parts, we propose an anchor-based method to capture the local contents by stacking convolutions of kernels with various aspect ratios, which focus on different spatial distributions. Finally, a well-defined framework is constructed for simultaneously learning the representations of both full body and parts. Extensive experiments conducted on current challenging large-scale person ReID datasets, including Market1501, CUHK03 and DukeMTMC, demonstrate that our proposed method achieves the state-of-the-art results.

Recently, person re-identification (re-ID) has attracted increasing research attention, which has broad application prospects in video surveillance and beyond. To this end, most existing methods highly relied on well-aligned pedestrian images and hand-engineered part-based model on the coarsest feature map. In this paper, to lighten the restriction of such fixed and coarse input alignment, an end-to-end part power set model with multi-scale features is proposed, which captures the discriminative parts of pedestrians from global to local, and from coarse to fine, enabling part-based scale-free person re-ID. In particular, we first factorize the visual appearance by enumerating $k$-combinations for all $k$ of $n$ body parts to exploit rich global and partial information to learn discriminative feature maps. Then, a combination ranking module is introduced to guide the model training with all combinations of body parts, which alternates between ranking combinations and estimating an appearance model. To enable scale-free input, we further exploit the pyramid architecture of deep networks to construct multi-scale feature maps with a feasible amount of extra cost in term of memory and time. Extensive experiments on the mainstream evaluation datasets, including Market-1501, DukeMTMC-reID and CUHK03, validate that our method achieves the state-of-the-art performance.

The use of micro-scale metallic pins in small engineering devices poses numerous problems due to their physical size and the dominant forces which act on micro-scale objects. Assembly and handling of devices with micro-scale parts is problematic because the components are below the threshold of practical, unaided human manipulation and most robotic manipulation. Previous experimental work has shown that applying forced vibrations to unsorted batches of micro-scale objects can order and singulate the objects or produce assemblies of several parts. Planar rigid-body dynamic simulations, which have been previously developed, lack the accuracy necessary for a-priori prediction of the performance of these processes. This paper presents a spatial simulation, based on an impulse-momentum rigid-body model, which more accurately predicts the behavior of micro-pins in a vibratory feeder bowl. The validity of the spatial simulation is verified by improved agreement with previously obtained experimental data.

A multi-connected floating body system composed of many connected small-scale floating body units has a number of advantages with regard to construction and performance. To realize the multi-connected floating body system, a new type of mechanical connecting device was developed. It is composed of multi-degrees of freedom connecting mechanism and restricting mechanism to control a restricting condition between floating body units, and its effectiveness was confirmed by model basin test in waves. Next, friction and wear tests in the seawater environment led to the discovery of suitable materials for oscillatory sliding parts in multi-degrees of freedom connecting mechanism. Finally, a field test performed for two floating body units connected by use of the mechanical connecting device proved that the developed mechanical connecting device was of practical use.

Many fields of active research such as biomedical engineering, electronics, and optics have need of small metallic parts less than 1mm in size, with features measured in hundreds or tens of microns, with tolerances as small as 0.1 micron. Such parts include devices for studying the processes in the human body, devices that can be implanted in the human body, small lenses, and other small components. Micromilling is a microscale manufacturing process that can be used to produce a wide range of small parts, including those that have complex 3-dimensional contours. Micromilling is a process that is, on the surface, similar to conventional-scale milling, except for the use of tools that are around two orders of magnitude smaller than conventional endmills, and spindle speeds that are one or two orders of magnitude faster than conventional milling spindles. However, the underlying physical processes which occur in micromilling are unique due to scale effects, which occur due to the unequal scaling of physical properties between the conventional and the micro scale. One of the more recently-uncovered scale effects in micromilling is the increased ratio of tool size to feature size [1]. This scale effect causes an exacerbation of a kind of geometric error known as chord error and places a fundamental limitation on achievable feedrates within allowable machining error constraints. In this research, we hypothesize that the increase of chord error in microscale milling can be alleviated by intelligent modification of the kinematic arrangement of the micromilling machine. Currently, all 3-axis micromilling machines are constructed with a Cartesian kinematic arrangement, in which three linear axes are mounted perpendicularly. In this paper, we propose an alternate kinematic arrangement consisting of two linear axes and one rotary axis, creating a Polar kinematic arrangement. Through numerical simulation, we show that there are distinct classes of curvilinear geometries in which the Polar kinematic arrangement is preferable, and allows significant gains in allowable feedrates and reduction in chord error, while other curvilinear geometries show reduced chord error with the Cartesian arrangement.

As technological advances lead to miniaturization of high power electronics, the concentration of heat generating components per area increases to the point of requiring innovative, integrated cooling solutions to maintain operational temperatures. Traditional coolant pumps have many moving parts, making them susceptible to mechanical failure and requiring periodic maintenance. Such devices are too complex to be miniaturized and embedded in small scale systems. Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) conduction pumps offer an alternative way of generating fluid flow in small scales for use in modern thermal control systems for high power electronics, both for terrestrial and aerospace applications. In EHD conduction, the interaction between an applied electrical field and the dissociation of electrolyte species in a dielectric fluid generates an accumulation of space charge near the electrodes, known as heterocharge layers. These layers apply electric body forces in the fluid, resulting in a flow in the desired direction based on the pump characteristics. EHD conduction pumps work with dielectric fluids and have simple, flexible designs with no moving parts. These pumps have very low power consumption, operate reliably for longer periods than mechanical pumps, and have the ability to operate in microgravity. EHD conduction pumps have been previously proven effective for heat transfer enhancement in multiple size scales, but were only studied in a flush ring or flush flat electrode configurations at the micro-scale. This study provides the pressure and flow rate generation performance characterization for a micro-scale pump with perforated electrodes, designed to be manufactured and assembled using innovative techniques, and incorporated into an evaporator embedded in an electronic cooling system. The performance of the pump is numerically simulated based on the fully coupled equations of the EHD conduction model, showcasing the distinctive heterocharge layer structure and subsequent force generation unique to this innovative design.

Numerical as well as experimental investigations of the highly intermittent slug flow regime of a gas-liquid mixture in horizontal pipes are of particular interest for nuclear reactor safety in post loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) situations. The strong variation of governing interfacial length scales, as they are characterizing the slug flow regime, pushes common numerical multi-phase approaches to their limits, since they are designed either for interface capturing or for modeling the sub-grid behavior of the dispersed mixture. In this work an enhanced hybrid two-phase flow solver is employed to investigate the global and local characteristics of adiabatic, horizontal slug flows in a water-air system. A dynamic switching algorithm for an interface capturing procedure is introduced to examine segregated and dispersed parts in the same flow domain. The inter-facial area transport equation (IATE) is used to detect dispersed flow regions as well as to determine variable bubble sizes and their distribution within the slug body. Experimental results of videometry measurements on a horizontal, 10 m long pipe with an inner diameter of 54 mm at atmospheric pressure and room temperature are compared with numerical results of the same geometry in terms of global characteristics such as slug frequency and onset position. Local properties, such as the interfacial area density in the slug body, are also examined. This study demonstrates the capability of a coupled multiscale approach based on the Euler-Euler two-fluid model (TFM) for the simulation of slug flow in horizontal pipes with a high amount of entrainment.
