Introduction. Adolescents are the group with highest risk of developing disordered eating behaviors (DEB). Preventing this problem is utmost importance due to physical and psychological consequences. Objective. To evaluate effects a universal prevention program for (DEB), thin ideal internalization (TII), drive muscularity (DM), sedentary lifestyle among Mexican adolescents. Method. A quasi-exp...

Ultra-thin fashion dolls may represent a risk factor for thin-ideal internalisation and body dissatisfaction amongst young girls. We asked thirty one 5- to 9-year-old girls engage in interactive play with commercially available which were either ultra-thin (Barbie Monster High) or represented putative realistic childlike shape (Lottie Dora) indicate their perceived own-body size ideal on an com...

In order to demonstrate that the frequency blue-shift corresponds mainly to the existence of thin air layers, simulations including these layers have been carried out. To this end, the thickness of the stacked hole array was measured with a caliper. The result obtained was 140 μm excess of thickness. This excess of thickness can be judiciously attributed to thin air gaps between the four joints...

Body dissatisfaction is an important correlate of dysfunctional eating. In the present study (N=208) the primary aim was to test whether women's internal and autonomous motivation can protect against endorsements of societal pressures regarding the ideal female body and against body dissatisfaction. Additionally, the role of others' autonomy support was investigated. Women who reported more Glo...

The issue of thin-ideal (or muscularity ideal for males) media effects on viewers continues to be debated and discussed within the scientific community. Many scholars have concluded that thin-ideal media can have an appreciable effect on viewers. More recently several scholars have contested this issue suggesting that media effects may be small to negligible or limited to groups of individuals ...

Thin films of CuSbS2, a potential candidate for absorber layer in thin film solar cells, were successfully deposited on soda lime glass substrates by using spray pyrolysis and the effect of variation of antimony concentration on the structural, morphological and optical properties were investigated. An aqueous solution of precursor containing cupric chloride, antimony acetate and thiourea was u...

The purposes of this study were to conceptualize moral identity as moral ideal self, to develop a measure of this construct, to test for age and gender differences, to examine links between moral ideal self and adolescent outcomes, and to assess purpose and social responsibility as mediators of the relations between moral ideal self and outcomes. Data came from a local school sample (Data Set 1...

Greater corneal biomechanical stability has been demonstrated following photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) compared with traditional microkeratome laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Thin LASIK flaps exhibit biomechanical properties similar to PRK but with the advantage of no haze formation or pain. These findings suggest that thin flaps created with consistent thickness across the co...
