Body Image Facebook Group and the Impact on Body Acceptance
Creators: name: Fiene, Nichole
Publisher: name: Midwestern University

Subjects: classificationCode: 520302
subject: Clinical psychology

description:  
    Growing evidence suggests that various factors influence body image, including social media. Research suggests that social media platforms such as Facebook promote unrealistic and unattainable ideals, proliferating negative body image (Grabe et al., 2016). While Facebook has been found to be problematic to body image, limited research does support utilizing private Facebook groups to promote body positivity (Stapleton et al., 2018). Although formal in-person body image groups have been shown to be effective in improving body positivity (Lewis-Smith et al., 2018, Diedrichs et al., 2016; Stice et al., 2021; Seekis et al., 2020), continuous technological advancements make it imperative to evaluate other ways to promote positive body image outside of traditional therapeutic approaches. Given this, the present pilot study evaluated the effectiveness of a condensed, self-paced, CBT-focused, online Facebook group on body acceptance in non-clinical adult (18+) females. The study consisted for 13 female participants, ranging from 20 to 60+ years old. Of the 13, six individuals were randomly placed in the experimental group and seven were randomly selected for the control group. The control group was delayed by one week, individuals in this group did not receive a parallel intervention during this time.
     Baseline measures of body image were gathered for both groups. The experimental group then underwent the Body Image Facebook Group. Upon completion of the one-week intervention, both groups completed post-test measures to assess for changes in body acceptance. The delayed control group then underwent the same intervention. Effectiveness was measured again for this group, using a post-test survey assessing for body acceptance, body appreciation, and body image perception/flexibility.
     The Body Image Facebook Group’s curriculum yielded statistically significant improvements in the experimental group’s body appreciation and bodily perception/flexibility. The delayed control group also exhibited statistically significant improvements in body image perception and flexibility, confirming the results. Conversely, the Body Image Facebook Group did not yield statistically significant improvements in body acceptance for either group, suggesting that a longer intervention may be necessary for the improvement of body acceptance. Despite these results, the Body Image Facebook Group exhibited promising characteristics of an effective intervention for the improvement of body image.

Calomyscus urartensis Vorontsov and Kartavseva 1979, Zool. Zh., 58: 1218.
Type Locality: Azerbaijan, Nakhichevanskaya., Alindzhachai River, 7 km N Dzhul'fa.
Vernacular Names: Urar Calomyscus.
Distribution: Extreme S Transcaucasus (Azerbaijan), far NW Iran (NW Azarbaijan Prov., specimens in FMNH).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt).
Discussion: Calomyscus urartensis (2n = 32, FN = 42; Graphodatsky et al., 2000) is morphologically similar to C. mystax (2n = 44, FN = 46) and C. elburzensis (Vorontsov et al., 1979, and material in FMNH). Meyer and Malikov (1995) cited hybridization results in addition to chromosomal distinctions to support the status of C. urartensis and C. mystax as separate species. The morphological integrity of C. urartensis and our identification of the species in NW Iran are corroborated by multivariate analysis of cranial and dental measurements (Lebedev et al., 1998).

description: Given $L$ a convex body, the $L_p$-Busemann Random Simplex Inequality is closely related to the centroid body $Γ_p L$ for $p=1$ and $2$, and only in these cases it can be proved using the $L_p$-Busemann-Petty centroid inequality. We define a convex body $N_p L$ and prove an isoperimetric inequality for $(N_p L)^\circ$ that is equivalent to the $L_p$-Busemann Random Simplex Inequality. As applications, we give a simple proof of a general functional version of the Busemann Random Simplex Inequality and study a dual theory related to Petty's conjectured inequality. More precisely, we prove dual versions of the $L_p$-Busemann Random Simplex Inequality for sets and functions by means of the $p$-affine surface area measure, and we prove that the Petty conjecture is equivalent to an $L_1$-Sharp Affine Sobolev-type inequality that is stronger than (and directly implies) the Sobolev-Zhang inequality.

Dysregulated neuroimmune interactionsin human stem cell derived neural models

description: Dementia is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition with the highest economic burden of all adult neurological disorders. While the cellular mechanisms underlying dementia-related pathology remain enigmatic, inflammation likely plays a major role in causing and exacerbating dementia-related neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. Chronic neuroinflammation is a hallmark of both alcohol use disorder (AUD)-related dementia and Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) related dementia. In this dissertation, I first addressed the need for human in vitro neuroimmune models by generating and combining human stem cell derived microglia, neurons, and astrocytes in two model systems. Second, I then interrogated the consequences of HIV-1 infection on human stem cell derived microglia and cerebral organoids. I found that HIV-1 productively infects iPSC-derived microglia and triggers inflammatory activation, resulting in sustained type I interferon signaling that persists in both microglia monoculture and in microglia-containing cerebral organoids. These data are consistent with recent studies suggesting a role for chronic interferon signaling in cognitive deficits and neurodegeneration. Third, I investigated the neuroinflammatory consequences of ethanol exposure on a microglia, neuron, and astrocyte tri-culture model. We found ethanol exposure leads to widespread inflammatory gene expression, activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, microglia activation, and potent upregulation and alternative splicing of TREM2. These data suggest a complex role for ethanol in the dysregulation of neuroimmune interactions among microglia, astrocytes, and neurons. Our findings relating to TREM2, elevation of complement cascade proteins, and microglial activation point to possible alterations in synaptic connectivity and transmission. Overall, these results expand our understanding of underlying inflammatory processes incited by either HIV-1 or ethanol, both of which are known contributors to dementia, and offer new human neuroimmune models for therapeutic discovery.

Is there any reasonable dynamics for quantum subsystems within the unitary-only quantum theory?

description: The foundational studies of the standard, unitary-only quantum theory revolve around the kinematical aspects of quantum entanglement and the improper quantum mixtures. In this paper, we introduce and argue for the foundational character of the question of dynamics of quantum subsystems (open quantum systems). In this context, for some typical and physically relevant Markovian processes, we technically prove non-existence of trajectories in the Hilbert state space of the open system. As a kind of no-go theorem for the unitary-only quantum theory, this finding suggests that the mixed quantum states may be joined to the individual (single) quantum subsystem dynamically described by the corresponding master equation. Then the problem of interpretation of improper mixtures dissolves while description of quantum measurement boils down to the problem of reduction of the mixed to the pure states-i.e. to the problem of actualization of definite values of certain observables of the single open systems, thus tackling the mathematical problem of interpreting probability for the single trials of an experiment. This kind of indeterminism may be the furthest we can go within the dynamical approach to quantum subsystems. As an alternative appears the possibility that the idea of dynamics of quantum subsystems may not be viable in the context of the unitary-only theory. As a direct consequence of our main finding appears the a priori impossibility to define "quantum history" in the Hilbert state space for the considered Markovian models.

description: This thesis investigates ways to improve cooling systems in advanced electronics by examining both passive methods, such as micro heat pipes, and active methods, like microchannel heat sinks. By integrating advanced materials, including graphene and carbon nanotubes, the study identifies optimal designs to boost heat transfer efficiency. It also balances critical goals, such as achieving maximum cooling performance while minimizing energy losses from entropy generation and pressure drops. The results highlight significant gains in cooling efficiency, offering valuable strategies for better thermal management in high-performance electronics and energy systems.

description: Consider a locally compact group $G=Q\ltimes V$ such that $V$ is abelian and the action of $Q$ on the dual abelian group $\hat V$ has a free orbit of full measure. We show that such a group $G$ can be quantized in three equivalent ways: (1) by reflecting across the Galois object defined by the canonical irreducible representation of $G$ on $L^2(V)$; (2) by twisting the coproduct on the group von Neumann algebra of $G$ by a dual $2$-cocycle obtained from the $G$-equivariant Kohn-Nirenberg quantization of $V\times\hat V$; (3) by considering the bicrossed product defined by a matched pair of subgroups of $Q\ltimes\hat V$ both isomorphic to $Q$. In the simplest case of the $ax+b$ group over the reals, the dual cocycle in (2) is an analytic analogue of the Jordanian twist. It was first found by Stachura using different ideas. The equivalence of approaches (2) and (3) in this case implies that the quantum $ax+b$ group of Baaj-Skandalis is isomorphic to the quantum group defined by Stachura. Along the way we prove a number of results for arbitrary locally compact groups $G$. Using recent results of De Commer we show that a class of $G$-Galois objects is parametrized by certain cohomology classes in $H^2(G;\mathbb T)$. This extends results of Wassermann and Davydov in the finite group case. A new phenomenon is that already the unit class in $H^2(G;\mathbb T)$ can correspond to a nontrivial Galois object. Specifically, we show that any nontrivial locally compact group $G$ with group von Neumann algebra a factor of type I admits a canonical cohomology class of dual $2$-cocycles such that the corresponding quantization of $G$ is neither commutative nor cocommutative.

description: Given a right LCM semigroup $S$ and a homomorphism $N\colon S\to[1,+\infty)$, we use the groupoid approach to study the KMS$_β$-states on $C^*(S)$ with respect to the dynamics induced by $N$. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of KMS$_β$-states. As an application, we show that the sufficient condition for the uniqueness obtained for so-called generalized scales is necessary as well. Our most complete results are obtained for inverse temperatures $β$ at which the $ζ$-function of $N$ is finite. In this case we get an explicit bijective correspondence between the KMS$_β$-states on $C^*(S)$ and the tracial states on $C^*(\operatorname{ker} N)$.

Ophthalmothrips yunnanensis Cao, Guo & Feng, 2010: 265–267.
This species is known only from Yunnan, China. It is similar to O. miscanthicola from Japan, China and Korea in having the female with the fore tarsal tooth short and broadly-based, also the preocular projection distinctly wider than long. It is distinguished by the presence of small, non- sigmoid wing-retaining setae.

description: The problem of the Taylor-Ito and Taylor-Stratonovich expansions of the Ito stochastic processes in a neighborhood of a fixed moment of time is considered. The classical forms of the Taylor-Ito and Taylor-Stratonovich expansions are transformed to the four new representations, which includes the minimal sets of different types of iterated Ito and Stratonovich stochastic integrals. Therefore, these representations (the so-called unified Taylor-Ito and Taylor-Stratonovich expansions) are more convenient for constructing of high-order strong numerical methods for Ito stochastic differential equations. Explicit one-step strong numerical schemes with the orders of convergence 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 based on the unified Taylor-Ito and Taylor-Stratonovich expansions are derived. Effective mean-square approximations of iterated Ito and Stratonovich stochastic integrals from these numerical schemes are constructed on the base of the multiple Fourier-Legendre series with multiplicities 1 to 6.

description: Is it possible to measure extreme events? Conditions are analysed under which the usual measurement devices for air temperature, precipitation, wind speed and sunshine duration can also reliably record extreme values. In principle, this is possible if the devices are used correctly, e.g. the thermometers are ventilated. In some cases, however, extreme values depend on the location and should not be generalised for larger areas. Due to the very heterogeneous distribution of precipitation, radar data analyses must be used in addition to rain gauges in order to reliably determine maxima.

description: Given a bounded open subset $Ω$ of $\mathbb R^n$, we establish the weak closure of the affine ball $B^{\mathcal A}_p(Ω) = \{f \in W^{1,p}_0(Ω):\ \mathcal E_p f \leq 1\}$ with respect to the affine functional $\mathcal E_pf$ introduced by Lutwak, Yang and Zhang in [43] as well as its compactness in $L^p(Ω)$ for any $p \geq 1$. These points use strongly the celebrated Blaschke-Santaló inequality. As counterpart, we develop the basic theory of $p$-Rayleigh quotients in bounded domains, in the affine case, for $p\geq 1$. More specifically, we establish $p$-affine versions of the Poincaré inequality and some of their consequences. We introduce the affine invariant $p$-Laplace operator $Δ_p^{\mathcal A} f$ defining the Euler-Lagrange equation of the minimization problem of the $p$-affine Rayleigh quotient. We also study its first eigenvalue $λ^{\mathcal A}_{1,p}(Ω)$ which satisfies the corresponding affine Faber-Krahn inequality, this is that $λ^{\mathcal A}_{1,p}(Ω)$ is minimized (among sets of equal volume) only when $Ω$ is an ellipsoid. This point depends fundamentally on PDEs regularity analysis aimed at the operator $Δ_p^{\mathcal A} f$. We also present some comparisons between affine and classical eigenvalues, including a result of rigidity through the characterization of equality cases for $p \geq 1$. All affine inequalities obtained are stronger and directly imply the classical ones.

description: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cancer in Malaysia and is characterized by late diagnosis. Increasing screening uptake is vital to down-staging cancer and improving patient outcomes. The Colorectal Cancer Screening Intervention for Malaysia (CRC-SIM) aimed to develop, implement and evaluate an intervention comprising home-based testing using the immunochemical faecal occult blood test (iFOBT). The study was undertaken during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was the first in Malaysia to implement a home-based iFOBT screening test and explore the challenges and acceptability of delivering mailed iFOBT kits. Adapting and evolving CRC screening methods to reflect the profiles of different subpopulation groups is crucial, as demonstrated in the CRC-SIM study. This innovative approach can reach rural and under-resourced areas and improve CRC screening in Malaysia.
