The Associations between Physical Activity and Body-Esteem in 15-Year-Old Adolescents : A Cross-Sectional Study from Finland
2021
Purpose: Physical activity promotes a positive physical self-image, but less is known about whether the positive effect covers the general self-evaluation of adolescent appearance. This study aimed to further explore the associations between physical activity and body-esteem in Finnish adolescents, via a country-representative cross-sectional study design. Methods: The data for the study were drawn from the Finnish component of the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study (2014), using surveys from 15-year-old adolescents (n=1956, mean age 15.8 years) from 122 schools. Self-evaluations of body or appearance were measured by the Body-Esteem Scale for Adolescents and Adults (BESA…
Saistība starp pašcieņu, ķermeņa tēla uztveri un perfekcionismu vidusskolu izlaiduma klašu jauniešiem.
2019
Bakalaura darba mērķis ir izpētīt saistības starp pašcieņu, ķermeņa tēla uztveri un perfekcionismu vidusskolu izlaiduma klašu jauniešiem. Pētījumā tika izvirzīts jautājums: Kāda saistība pastāv starp pašcieņu, ķermeņa tēla uztveri un perfekcionismu vidusskolas izlaiduma klašu jauniešiem? Lai iegūtu atbildes uz pētījumā izvirzīto jautājumu, tika izmantotas tādas pētījuma metodes kā: Perfekcionisma aptauja (Almost Perfect Scale- Revised Short Form; Slaney, Rice, Mobley, Trippi & Ashby, 2001). Latvijā šo metodi ir adaptējusi Renāte Buliņa, sava maģistra darba ietvaros (2009); Rozenberga pašcieņas aptauja (Rosenberg Self-Esteem, Rosenberg, 1965). Latvijā šo metodi ir adaptējusi Anika Miltuz…
Per una semiologia architettonica
2021
The possibility of interpreting space is focused looking at the studies of Pier Ferdinando Caliari. Geometry is sigled out as the main framework. Yet perception is to be considered not as a recognition of geometry but as a tool of situation. Site is therefore the encounter of the body of the viewer and the physical space
Esperti di corpi, corpi di esperti: expertise e dietetica.
2021
Today, dietetics is sectoral, specialised. The cause, among others, is to be found in the emergence of so-called nutritionism, a paradigm that arose at the end of the the 19th century and established itself in the first half of the 20th century, which brings together discoveries from food science and the needs of the food industry, imposing the dominance of calories and so-called nutrients. This shifted the attention of scientists and ordinary people to the invisible substances that food contains on a chemical and physical level (vitamins, fats sugars, proteins, and the like), with a profound transformation the way in which we consider food: no longer just units and sensory units, made up o…

Sex differences in correlates of intermediate phenotypes and prevalent cardiovascular disease in the general population
2015
Background: There are marked sex differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) manifestation. It is largely unknown how the distribution of CVD risk factors or intermediate phenotypes explain sex-specific differences. Methods and Results: In 5000 individuals of the population-based Gutenberg Health Study, mean age 55 ± 11 years, 51% males, we examined sex-specific associations of classical CVD risk factors with intima-media thickness, ankle-brachial index, flow-mediated dilation, peripheral arterial tonometry, echocardiographic, and electrocardiographic variables. Intermediate cardiovascular phenotypes were related to prevalent CVD [coronary artery disease, heart failure, stroke, myocardial i…
The Impact of Adolescent Internet Addiction on Sexual Online Victimization: The Mediating Effects of Sexting and Body Self-Esteem
2021
Adolescents’ problematic use of the internet and the risk of sexual online victimization are an increasing concern among families, researchers, professionals and society. This study aimed to analyze the interplay between adolescents’ addiction to social networks and internet, body self-esteem and sexual–erotic risk behavior online: sexting, sextortion and grooming. While sexting refers to the voluntary engagement in texting sexual–erotic messages, sextortion and grooming are means of sexual–erotic victimization through the use of the internet. Participants were 1763 adolescents (51% girls), aged 12 to 16 years (M = 14.56
Space-by-Time Modular Decomposition Effectively Describes Whole-Body Muscle Activity During Upright Reaching in Various Directions
2017
The modular control hypothesis suggests that motor commands are built from precoded modules whose specific combined recruitment can allow the performance of virtually any motor task. Despite considerable experimental support, this hypothesis remains tentative as classical findings of reduced dimensionality in muscle activity may also result from other constraints (biomechanical couplings, data averaging or low dimensionality of motor tasks). Here we assessed the effectiveness of modularity in describing muscle activity in a comprehensive experiment comprising 72 distinct point-to-point whole-body movements during which the activity of 30 muscles was recorded. To identify invariant modules o…
