Background and aims: Body image is defined as a complex concept involving a person’s thoughts,feelings, and attitudes about his/her body. The body image dissatisfaction may expose the individuals,specifically athletes, to eating disorders (EDs). The aim of this study is to assess the association of bodyimage score with EDs and anthropometric measures in students from universit...

We propose a relative estimation method for subjective age, imaged by ourselves, using peoples’ facial images and their chronological (real) age. We experimented with a rating scale for facial images which stimulated subjects. The subject evaluated an image as looking older than themselves with a range of responses. Finding an approximation curve of this range, the zero crossing point in the ap...

Age becomes an important self-defining aspect particularly during advanced age. With increasing age, negative attributes related to age and aging become salient. Aging-related declines, losses, as well as the finitude of life seem to threaten older adults' sense of self. We hypothesize that older adults will try to avoid the negative consequences of their age group membership by distancing them...

We propose a relative estimation method for subjective age, imaged by ourselves, using peoples' facial images and their chronological (real) age. We experimented with a rating scale for facial images which stimulated subjects. The subject evaluated an image as looking older than themselves with uncertainties. Finding the average values of the rating, the zero crossing point in the approximate l...

In eukaryotic cells, mRNAs are transcribed in the nucleus and must then be exported across the nuclear envelope before they can be translated in the cytoplasm. Multiple factors bind to nuclear mRNAs and mediate their translocation through the nuclear pores, but it is diffi cult to observe the rapid export of individual RNA molecules in real time. Two papers now track the movements of single mRN...
