Health implications of food insufficiency

This study examined the relationship between food insufficiency and health outcomes in the third National Health and Examination Survey (NHANES III). The subjects were the food insufficient respondents and a comparison matched for income. The health outcomes in the study were the syndrome X conditions that included BMI, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, and the Global Health Assessment Scale (GHAS). Subjects were classified as food insufficient if the family respondent reported that the family sometimes or often did not have enough food to eat. Using the multiple logistic regression procedure in SUDAAN, a proportional odds ratio (POR) was estimated to determine the association between health status and food insufficiency as well as between health status and the syndrome X conditions. A logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the association between the syndrome X conditions and food sufficiency. Because to their potential to impact health status, age, educational attainment, marital status, gender and race/ethnicity were included in the model as covariates

Made by hand

Although the mainstream animation industry has adopted digital production methods, the attraction of laborious hand-made methods for making animation persists in the independent sector. The chapter considers how ‘craftivist’ opposition to mechanical, technological and digital techniques is validated in this community of practice through ideas that haptic knowledge by skilled physical labour and an exploration of materiality, autographic mark-making and imperfection (Wabi-sabi) are guarantors of authenticity and individuality that can only be carried out by hand. Why is this? What ideas and assumptions can be seen to underpin the notions of craft and crafting? Tracing connections between craft and activism since the Industrial Revolution, this chapter critically reflects on discourses of craft and the handmade through reference to Ruskin (1851), Morris (1892), Hobsbawm (2000), Thompson (1980), Benjamin (1935), Krauss (2000) and Takahashi (2005). Whereas the experimental animation community privileges analogue, handmade processes that appear to oppose and critique commercial animation production, building upon Warburton (2016) and Frayling (2017) it is argued here that this approach is underpinned by nostalgia and often faked. What looks like a hand-painted animation could actually be a simulation that was ‘painted’ in a software package: a pastiche of manual labour. Aesthetics alone do not guarantee that a work of art opposes the mainstream. Instead of recycling the past to create ‘artistic’ animation, it is argued in the conclusion that contemporary practitioners can equally investigate issues of labour and materiality through digital tools and virtual materials such as in the ‘ugly’ CGI animation of Nikita Daikur (2017)
