Are You Anemic?

Diet plays an important part in a great many diseases. In most cases these diseases are those which last over a period of months or years, and the patient is not bed-ridden. In fact, if he gets plenty of physical and mental rest and modifies what he eats to suit his particular condition he may feel as well and be as efficient in his work as any other person. And in many of the so-called minor ailments, correct eating will help to maintain good health

Here comes the bride All dressed in white, plays the orchestra from a sheltered corner of the palatial garden, while June\u27s bride, blushing and sweet as a June rose itself, slowly advances along the rose-strewn path.

Role of civic responsibility in learning and thinking about natural resources

Often, students disassociate their role as citizens living in a democracy from their current role as students and, eventually, their role as natural resource professionals. There is a need in natural resources education to re-associate these roles. The question is how to do it in a way that is meaningful to students. In 1999, the Colleges of Natural Resources and Education and Human Development at the University of Minnesota embarked on a three-year project with the Hong Kong Institute of Education to develop educational programs related to civic responsibility, moral development, and environmental and natural resources education

The Displacement Process in Recreation

This paper presents the recreation displacement process from a social-psychological perspective and models it within the attitude- behavior framework. The displacement process is illustrated with empirical results from a study of use within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Findings show that factors of displacement include litter, noise, overuse, and visual encounters with others. In most cases, recreation resource administrators should be able to managerially control displacing factors

Controle Bibliográfico Universal

IFLA’s long term programme for Universal Bibliographic Control (UBC) was first put forward at the IFLA Grenoble Conference in 1973 and was realized in 1974 by the decision of the IFLA Executive Board to establish the IFLA International - Office for UBC which became operational on July 14,1974. Ilie objectives of UBC and a programme of constructive action for its implementation were set out in IFLA’s paper prepared for the Unesco Intergovernmental Conference. In September 1974, the Unesco agreed to assist this programme through its own activities and support the UBC Office in accordance with objective 14 of the NATIS proposals. “Universal Bibliographic Control will be promoted by Unesco in co-operation with IFLA, as a major polocy objective to create a world-wide system for the control and exchange of information.”Em 1973, na Conferência da IFLA-Grenoble, foi ativado um programa a longo prazo para o Controle Bibliográfico Universal. Em 1974, por decisão do Comitê Executivo da IFLA, foi criado o Escritório Internacional da IFLA, o qual começou a operar em 19 de julho de 1974. Em setembro do mesmo ano, a Conferência Internacional da Unesco estabeleceu os objetivos do CBU e um programa de ação para sua implantação. Também à Unesco coube assistir a esse programa através de suas próprias atividades e custear o Escritório do CBU de acordo com o objetivo 14 da proposta da NATIS. “O Controle Bibliográfico Universal será promovido pela Unesco em cooperação com a IFLA, com o objetivo maior de criar um sistema mundial para o controle e troca de informação.

Interpersonal vulnerability, eating behaviours and quality of life in bariatric surgery patients: A systematic review of the relationship between internal weight bias and eating behaviours in bariatric surgery patients; and, An observational study of how interpersonal vulnerabilities, emotional eating, anxiety and depression influence quality of life in patients assessed for bariatric surgery

BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery is a recommended treatment for people with morbid obesity. Patients who seek or undergo bariatric surgery experience a range of psychosocial difficulties which affect their quality of life, including interpersonal difficulties, maladaptive eating patterns and psychological distress. This thesis aims to investigate how weight-based bias was associated with maladaptive eating patterns in this patient population, and how the interpersonal psychotherapy model of eating disorders (IPT-ED) could be extended to consider the quality of life in those seeking bariatric surgery. METHOD: A systematic review of quantitative studies (n = 11) was undertaken to examine the relationship between internalised weight bias and eating behaviours in bariatric surgery patients. Also, a cross-sectional empirical study examined a pre-existing dataset of routinely collected clinical data from bariatric surgery candidates (n = 193). Drawing on the IPT-ED model, the study used mediation and moderation analyses to explore the relationships between interpersonal vulnerability, anxiety, depression, emotional eating and quality of life. RESULTS: The systematic review found internal weight bias was associated with maladaptive eating behaviours, irrespective of whether patients were seeking or had completed bariatric surgery, and demonstrated medium to large effect sizes. The observational study found emotional eating partially mediated the relationship between interpersonal vulnerability and quality of life in bariatric surgery candidates. Moderation analyses found depression did not moderate the relationship between interpersonal vulnerability and emotional eating in those seeking bariatric surgery, however when anxiety was low interpersonal vulnerability and emotional eating were significantly related. CONCLUSION: Both the systematic review and empirical study demonstrated the strong association between interpersonal vulnerability and eating behaviours (e.g. emotional eating) in bariatric surgery patients. By introducing quality of life to the IPT-ED model and applying it to bariatric surgery candidates it provides clinicians and researchers with an enhanced theoretical foundation to understand how interpersonal factors, eating behaviours and psychological distress combine to affect the psychosocial wellbeing of bariatric surgery patients. Until recently application of theoretical frameworks with this clinical population has been limited. The current study has for the first time shown how an enhanced interpersonal framework featuring quality of life might be applied to those seeking bariatric surgery. Given bariatric surgery is a significant life transition future research would benefit from investigating how this enhanced model evolves at different stages along the patient journey, from pre-surgical assessment through to long-term follow-up

Four-color single-molecule fluorescence with noncovalent dye labeling to monitor dynamic multimolecular complexes

To allow studies of conformational changes within multi-molecular complexes, we present a simultaneous, 4-color single molecule fluorescence methodology implemented with total internal reflection illumination and camera based, wide-field detection. We further demonstrate labeling histidine-tagged proteins non-covalently with tris-Nitrilotriacetic acid (tris-NTA) conjugated dyes to achieve single molecule detection. We combine these methods to co-localize the mismatch repair protein MutSα on DNA while monitoring MutSα-induced DNA bending using Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and to monitor assembly of membrane-tethered SNARE protein complexes
