THE IMPACT OF THE MEDIA ON BODY IMAGE PERCEPTIONSAND SELF-ESTEEM AMONG FEMALE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

University students nowadays face a number of daily challenges. To meet the standards set by the media and other socio-economic influences causes many of them to feel vulnerable and confused. This sense of failure and the decrease in self-esteem often lead students to focus on their personal image, which in turn causes them to seek physical and mental changes. To adapt to a new environment, it is therefore essential to understand what affects an individual in their daily life, as this determines their response to this new environment. In most countries, it is the mothers, female friends and the media who form the most powerful influence on the image of the self and the body image among girls. There is no doubt that the dissatisfaction with the body image is one of the most prevalent problems in society. A large percentage of female university students suffer from severe forms of dissatisfaction with their general appearance, which has become associated with chronic dieting, eating disorders and lowered levels of self-esteem. A number of studies have established that the media plays a major role in determining the ideal body image for adolescents. It is the most powerful conveyer of socio-cultural ideals, since it not only presents recurrently unrealistic images of thinness, but also provides information on how to achieve these ideals. Although there are a large number of studies that have dealt with the impact of media on the perceptions of and dissatisfaction with the body image, usually among females, yet only few of these have examined the impact of the media on boy image perceptions among female university students, in particular in Arab societies such as Lebanon. It is, thus, necessary to conduct this study, in particular in the light of the growing role played by the media in our societies. With the increasing freedom of the media in the Arab World during the last few years, it becomes adamant to evaluate the various roles it plays. The Sample of the Study: The study recruited a sample of 200 female students at Beirut Arab University, who were equally distributed across the faculties of the humanities and the scientific faculties. Instruments of the Study: Three variables were tackled: The body image, using the Body Image Scale, developed by Alaa Kafafi & Mayssah El Nayal. Self-esteem, using the Rosenberg Scale (1989), translated by Ahmed Abdel-Khalek. The media, using a questionnaire with a number of questions that establish the relationship between the respondent and the media

タイ北部のChiang Mai市における学生の栄養素摂取量に関する実態調査

タイの学生の食生活および栄養摂取状況を明らかにするために,「簡易食物摂取状況調査表(タイ版)」を作成し、Chiang Mai大学の学生を対象に栄養素摂取量についての調査を行った。エネルギー摂取量は、1日あたり全体で平均1,756.4kcalであり、男性で1,792.4kcal、女性で1,740.5kcalと男女間で有意な差は認められなかった。タンパク質および炭水化物の1日あたりの摂取量にっいては、それぞれ男性で58.2gおよび293.9g、女性で56.7gおよび283.8gであった。脂質の摂取量(平均42.4g/日)および脂肪エネルギー比(平均21.6%)については,男女で差異が見られなかった。学生の朝食欠食率については,男女合わせて全体で43.0%であった。朝食の欠食者のエネルギー摂取量は平均1,591.0kcal/日と,1日に3回の食事を摂取している学生の1,881.3kcal/日と比べて,統計学的に有意に低値であった。朝食欠食者にはイライラやだるさ、疲労感などの不定愁訴の症状が現れる割合が高いことが知られている。学生の健康維持や食生活を改善するためには,健康教育プログラムの中において,栄養教育と共に,食事指導やカウンセリングなどが必要と考えられる。To elucidate a general view of eating habits of people in Thailand, a questionnaire survey was conducted that examined the current nutritional status of university students in urban Chiang Mai. The subjects comprised 98 healthy students with an average age of 21.5 years from two classes at Chiang Mai University. They were requested to answer the self-reported questionnaire in their classes. Entitled the "Simplified Questionnaire of Food Intake", it contains 17 items related to dietary habits. It was revised for Thai people in the Thai language. A total of 88 students answered the questionnaire completely. These students took in 1, 756.4 kcal on average from 57.2g protein, 287.1g carbohydrate and 42.4g lipid daily. The relative energy of lipid was 22.6% on average. These percentages were close to the estimated averages of 64.3% carbohydrate, 13.4% protein and 22.2% lipid as energy sources by the National Nutrition Committee. There were no differences in the daily intake of energy and these macronutrients between male and female students. The incidence of students without a breakfast was 43.0% on average. These students took in only 1, 591.0 kcal/day, which was significantly lower than 1, 881.3 kcal/day in students consuming 3 meals daily (p<0.001). It is reported that breakfast is effective against impatience, fatigue and laziness. It was suggested that those students with irregular dietary habits are in need of nutritional guidance and counseling in the health promotion program of the university to maintain their good health and improve their eating habits

of Female Child Sex-offenders

This paper explores the visual construction and representation of female sex offenders. It utilises the case study of Vanessa George, a nursery worker who was involved in the exchange of indecent imagery of children via an online paedophile ring. The first part of the paper considers the emergence of the sub-discipline, visual criminology and examines what is known about the visual representation of female offenders. The second part presents the findings of an empirical investigation, which involved engaging in a critical, reflexive visual analysis of a selection photographs and the police mugshot of Vanessa George. The paper considers the ways in which George&quot;s physical appearance and her suggested ability to deceive were used to visually represent her as &quot;other&quot;, thus reinforcing the existing simplistic motifs of female sex offending

Technology Makes it Happen-But it Doesn&apos;t Tell the Story by Itself

Technology we used in order to tell visual stories is constantly improving, newer technology superseding the old one at a breathtaking rate. Yet, video technology is a means and does not do the storytelling itself. However, visual storytellers must keep themselves updated with technology in order to get the best of their work. DSLR cameras are now leading the visual storytelling pack and some respected visual storytellers share conclusions of their experiences

495-504 Between 1971-1978 and Their Continued Use in Kiruhura District in S

Although African continent and Uganda in particular experienced the influence of the western economies which came with exploration, missionary work, and colonialism, and which put the indigenous design creativity to sleep, communities have continued to show resilience in utilizing indigenous design processes whenever there is a shift in the cosmetic African-West relationship. This paper describes and assesses how indigenous processes become fundamental and sustained a fragile economy of Uganda after the military takeover of government by Idi Amin in 1971. It looks at how Ugandan artisans employed their long forgotten skills in designing processes that allowed communities to function. For example artisans made spare parts for the abandoned factories, made soap, and processed salt for consumption. The paper takes a pro-vocal approach and traces how this worked, how it is still working even when the country is presumably peaceful with the majority of the population engaged in agriculture production. The author carried out an ethnographic study on 90 participants in Kiruhura district in S.W. Uganda to establish how families integrate indigenous design processes in their daily activities. The author investigated why families continue to use indigenous material cultural items such as carvings, pottery, baskets, and iron work yet government policy emphases commercial agriculture. Results indicate that most families still use indigenous design processes in agriculture, housing, and treatment because of the superficial and unstructured ability by most families to use western made technologies, and that many of them do not have the necessary resources to acquire the modern technology. Results further indicate that families have a special attachment to indigenous materials which gives them an identity and ownership and that some items work better than the Western designed products. The paper concludes that those indigenous design processes are fundamentally good opportunities for entrepreneur actions that could be viable household enterprises. In addition to improving household incomes, the author theorize that re-engaging indigenous design processes, may facilitate ownership, resilience, and creativity of indigenous African creativity and design processes that could lead to sustainable development

The Role of Storytelling in Personal Knowledge Convey

The relative difficulty of capturing and conveying knowledge is determined on the diversity of knowledge types. It is necessary to interpret the consciously capturing process of the knowledge that is formed unconsciously. Storytelling is important in the capturing and conveying of tacit knowledge.

The company M, has successfully created knowledge based on transfer of personal knowledge by leveraging the organization mechanism &quot;The board of advisors&quot;. In order to elucidate the process, the author analyzed the recordings of the passing on contents using the protocol analysis
