Prevalencia del comer emocional e insatisfacción con la imagen corporal en jóvenes universitarios: el papel de la alimentación consciente.

Treball Final de Grau en Psicologia. Codi: PS1048. Curs: 2018/2019The university population is a particularly vulnerable group at the nutritional level due to the characteristics of the university period (living away from home, working hours, etc.). The practice of mindful eating is being a key strategy for modifying problematic eating behaviour such as emotional eating or bad habits related to body image dissatisfaction. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the prevalence of emotional eating and body image dissatisfaction, its relationship with mindful eating and the influence of gender. Three hundred and twenty two university students (196 females and 126 males) with an average age of 22.27 years (SD=3.54) completed the Mindful Eating Questionnaire (Framson, et al., 2009), the Emotional Eating Questionnaire (Garaulet, et al., 2012) and the Body Shape Questionnaire (Cooper, et al., 1987), throught Qualtrics platform. The results showed high percentages of emotional eating (47.9%) and body image dissatisfaction (32.3%). On the other hand, statistically significant differences were observed in Desinhibition (p=0.009), Awareness (p=0.020), Emotional Response (p0.001) and Distraction (p0.001) between groups classified by emotional eating, non-emotional eaters showed the highest levels of mindful eating. Regarding to body image dissatisfaction, statistically significant differences were found between groups in Awareness (p=0.016), Emotional Response (p=0.004) and Distraction (p=0.002), non-concerned about body image showed the highest levels of mindful eating. Finally, women obtained higher mean scores in Desinhibition (p0.001) and men in Emotional Response (p0.001) and distraction (p=0.037). Statistically significant relationships were found between mindful eating, emotional eating and dissatisfaction with body image among women. It is emphasize the early detection of people with negative self-evaluations or who use food to self-regulate in order to apply preventive psychological interventions that take into account the gender perspective.La población universitaria es un colectivo especialmente vulnerable a nivel nutricional por las características de la época universitaria (vivir fuera de casa, horarios, etc.). La práctica de la alimentación consciente es una estrategia clave para modificar comportamientos alimentarios problemáticos como el comer emocional o los malos hábitos relacionados con la insatisfacción con la imagen corporal. Los objetivos del presente estudio fueron evaluar la prevalencia del comer emocional e insatisfacción con la imagen corporal, su relación con la alimentación consciente y la influencia del género. Participaron 322 universitarios (196 mujeres y 126 hombres) con una edad media de 22,27 años (DT=3,54) que cumplimentaron el Mindful Eating Questionnaire (Framson, et al., 2009), el Emotional Eater Questionnaire (Garaulet, et al., 2012) y el Body Shape Questionnaire (Cooper, et al., 1987) a través de la plataforma Qualtrics. Los resultados mostraron porcentajes elevados de comer emocional (47,9%) e insatisfacción con la imagen corporal (32,3%). Se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en Desinhibición (p=0,009), Darse cuenta (p=0,020), Respuesta emocional (p0,001) y Distracción (p0,001) entre grupos clasificados por comer emocional, siendo los comedores no emocionales los que presentan mayores niveles de alimentación consciente; y en Darse cuenta (p=0,016), Respuesta emocional (p=0,004) y Distracción (p=0,002) entre grupos clasificados por insatisfacción con la imagen corporal, siendo los no preocupados por la imagen corporal los que presentan mayores niveles de alimentación consciente. Las mujeres obtienen puntuaciones medias más elevadas en Desinhibición (p0,001) y los hombres en Respuesta emocional (p0,001) y Distracción (p=0,037). Aparecen más relaciones estadísticamente significativas entre alimentación consciente, comer emocional e insatisfacción con la imagen corporal en las mujeres. Resulta relevante la detección precoz de personas que presentan autoevaluaciones negativas o que utilizan la alimentación para autorregularse para aplicar intervenciones psicológicas preventivas que atiendan a la perspectiva de género

Colonialism and intertextuality in James Cameron's Avatar

Avatar no es única y exclusivamente una película de ficción, sino que ésta es una alegoría de escenas y hechos pasados relevantes en la historia del mundo. En los siglos XVI y XVII, muchos europeos emigraron a América para colonizarla, una tierra que en aquellos tiempos estaba aún por descubrir. En el siglo XX hubo un intento de cambiar el orden establecido cuando un grupo de yihadistas atacaron el centro neurálgico de la economía y la democracia, los Estados Unidos de América. En este artículo se mostrará la relación que hay entre el antiguo colonialismo y el ataque reciente de las Torres Gemelas de América con la película de James Cameron, Avatar. A través de los textos de John Smith, Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca y William Bradford descubriremos una serie de similitudes entre el antiguo colonialismo y un futuro muy cercano, el de Pandora en 2154.Departamento de Filología InglesaGrado en Estudios Inglese

Improving the fire behavior of flexible polyurethane foams using eco-friendly fillers

212 p.This research work is focused on the preparation and characterization of flexible polyurethane foams and also on the modification and introduction of different eco-friendly fillers into polyurethane formulations. Nowadays maximizing the sustainability of polymeric materials is of special interest due to the increasing environmental concern and the imminent depletion of fossil resources. In this work, the sustainability of the prepared materials is enhanced by using a renewable sourced polyol and selecting environmentally-friendly additives such as anionic clays (layered double hydroxides) and an industrial byproduct such as lignin, giving in this way added value to this abundant residue from pulp and paper industry.These eco-friendly fillers were selected not only due to their sustainable nature, but also because of their chemical structure and morphology that makes them of special interest in another topic with increased attention: the improvement of the fire behavior of polymeric materials.The increased use of polymers has boosted the dangers related to the development of violent fire scenarios, forcing industries to improve the flame retardancy of polymeric materials by using different types of additives, such as halogenated compounds. These compounds reduce effectively the flammability of polymeric materials with the drawback of increased toxicity and thus, increased death hazard while contributing also to the depletion of the ozone layer owing to the highly toxic halogenated fumes released during polymer and additive combustion.For this reason, this work not only analyzes the effect on the properties of different eco-friendly additives in the properties of flexible polyurethane foams, but also explores their potential to be used as flame retardant agents.GMT Materials + Technologies Research Grou

Proyecciones estratégicas en bibliotecas públicas: qué, cómo y para qué. Un estudio comparativo

Objective. To determine convergence points regarding strategic projections of public libraries in Bellingham, Chicago (United States), Calgary, London (Canada), Scotland, Finland, Ireland and Victoria (Australia). Design/Methodology/Approach. The research was performed by means of the documentary analysis of relevant articles on strategic management, and the qualitative content analysis of strategic reports regarding the performances of public libraries in the aforementioned contexts. Results/Discussion. There were noted the points of contact between the contemporary functions of public libraries and their projections in order to benefit their communities. Conclusions. Strategic management must be a steady activity in public libraries. The presence and materialization of strategic projections lead public libraries to satisfy the informational and cultural needs, such as the benefits of their communities. Originality/Value. The analysis of eight strategic public library projections in different contexts enable us to suggest points of convergence that might be relevant to other public libraries, and researchers involved in such strategic management process
