Epidemiology of eating disorders part III: Social epidemiology and case definitions revisited.

Accepted manuscript version. Published version at <a href=http://doi.org/10.1080/21662630.2015.1022197>http://doi.org/10.1080/21662630.2015.1022197</a>.The previous papers in this series outlined a historical panorama and presented updated knowledge about putative risk factors and how eating disorders are distributed in various populations. In this final paper, we discuss in what way comorbidity findings and transdiagnostic issues may change our conceptions about ‘an epidemiological case’ from the current definition of eating disorders based on the recent version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (i.e. the DSM-5), and to what extent an alternative definition may introduce new perspectives of prevention. The paper also provides an update on issues relevant for treatment dissemination

Chemical and Elemental Depth Profiling of Very Thin Organic Layers by Constant Kinetic Energy XPS: A New Synchrotron XPS Analysis Strategy

We present a new synchrotron X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy strategy for surface chemical analysis of materials. Our approach is based on the acquisition of photoelectron spectra at constant kinetic energies with the help of a tunable synchrotron X-radiation source. This ensures both constant and tunable information depth for all elements in a very thin organic layer. Many of the problems known to XPS depth profiling using laboratory equipment are thereby avoided. Using our methodology, the 95% information depth, <i>z</i>_95%, can be tuned down to about 0.7 nm in organic materials. The upper limit in our study at the HE-SGM monochromator dipole magnet beamline at the synchrotron radiation source BESSY II is about 4.3 nm. Elemental quantification is achieved through relative sensitivity factors (RSF) specific to the measurement conditions, determined either with the help of calculated photoionization cross sections and inelastic mean free paths or experimentally. The potential of the technique is demonstrated for the in-depth analysis of plasma deposited nitrogen-rich organic thin films used in biomedical applications
