Body appreciation around the world: Measurement invariance of the Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2) across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age.

The Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2) is a widely used measure of a core facet of the positive body image construct. However, extant research concerning measurement invariance of the BAS-2 across a large number of nations remains limited. Here, we utilised the Body Image in Nature (BINS) dataset - with data collected between 2020 and 2022 - to assess measurement invariance of the BAS-2 across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age groups. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis indicated that full scalar invariance was upheld across all nations, languages, gender identities, and age groups, suggesting that the unidimensional BAS-2 model has widespread applicability. There were large differences across nations and languages in latent body appreciation, while differences across gender identities and age groups were negligible-to-small. Additionally, greater body appreciation was significantly associated with higher life satisfaction, being single (versus being married or in a committed relationship), and greater rurality (versus urbanicity). Across a subset of nations where nation-level data were available, greater body appreciation was also significantly associated with greater cultural distance from the United States and greater relative income inequality. These findings suggest that the BAS-2 likely captures a near-universal conceptualisation of the body appreciation construct, which should facilitate further cross-cultural research.

Taxonomic Revision Of Amphiodon (leguminosae, Papilionoideae, Brongniartieae)

The South-American genus Amphiodon Huber is reinstated and circumscribed to include a single species, A. effusus. The genus is segregated from Poecilanthe and is diagnosed by a vexillary stamen that is mostly adherent to the standard claw and a septate pod with seeds that are transversally arranged. Poecilanthe ovalifolia is synonymized with A. effusus. Description, illustration, and geographical distribution for A. effusus are provided.39411501153Amshoff, G.J.H., Papilionaceae (1939) Flora of Suriname, 2, pp. 156-158. , ed. A. A. Pulle.

A Phylogenetic Analysis Of Molecular And Morphological Data Reveals A Paraphyletic Poecilanthe (leguminosae, Papilionoideae)

Separate and combined Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian analyses of the papilionoid legume genus Poecilanthe sensu lato (Leguminosae) and other Genistoid genera were performed using molecular (nuclear ribosomal and chloroplast matK) and morphological data. The data are in excellent agreement that Poecilanthe is paraphyletic with respect to other genera of the tribe Brongniartieae. Each of the three independent lineages of Poecilanthe sensu lato combines a morphological, geographical, and ecological distinction. They will be ranked at the genus level and Poecilanthe sensu stricto is recircumscribed to encompass the extra-Amazonian species that occur in highly seasonal dry forests.39411421149Arroyo, M.T.K., The systematics of the legume genus harpalyce (leguminosae: Lotoideae (1976) Memoirs of the New York Botanical Garden, 26, pp. 1-80Bailey, C.D., Carr, T.G., Harris, S.A., Hughes, C.E., Characterization of angiosperm nrdna polymorphism, paralogy, and pseudogenes (2003) Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 29, pp. 435-455Bentham, G., Synopsis of dalbergieae, a tribe of leguminosae (1860) Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society.

Optimization of milling parameters to improve the surface roughness using the taguchi methodology

This paper presents a study of Taguchi design application to optimize surface quality in a CNC milling operation. Maintaining good surface quality usually involves additional manufacturing cost or loss of productivity. The Taguchi design is an efficient and effective experimental method in which a response variable can be optimized, given various control and/or noise factors, using fewer resources than a factorial design. This study includes feed per tooth, cutting speed and radial depth of cut as control factors. An orthogonal array of L9(34) was implemented and the ANOVA analyses were carried out to identify the significant factors affecting surface roughness as well as the determination of optimal cutting combination by seeking the best surface roughness (response) and signal-to-noise ratio.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
