Influences of Parental Attachment and Life Satisfaction on Social Tanning Behaviors among College Students

The goal of this study is to assess the effect of parental attachment and life satisfaction on social tanning behaviors. Due to the perceived attractiveness of tanned skin, body-tanning behavior via outdoor and indoor tanning bed use is increasingly popular. The evidence supporting appearance-motive tanning indicates that indoor UV tanning is highly motivated by social influences (Hillhouse, Turrisi, Holwiski, & McVeigh, 1999). Previous studies have identified the significance of social tanning (i.e., tanning with others) in that people define the self-concept in terms of groups with whom individuals associate (Rubin, Bukowski, & Parker, 2007). An in-depth analysis of factors influencing social tanning behavior is critical for the development of effective, yet novel interventions designed to reduce harmful tanning behaviors. Therefore, the specific questions are addressed as follows: “What influences do parental attachment and life satisfaction have on college students’ social tanning behavior?

Factors of work dissatisfaction according to the perception of nurses of a university hospital

Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar os fatores de insatisfação no trabalho segundo a percepção de enfermeiros de um hospital universitário. Trata-se de um estudo de natureza qualitativa na abordagem descritivo-exploratória. Da análise das entrevistas feitas com seis enfermeiras emergiram duas categorias: Dimensão Pessoal e Dimensão Institucional. A categoria "Dimensão Pessoal" é composta pelas unidades de significado "Sentimentos Relacionados ao Trabalho" e "Atitudes Relacionadas ao Trabalho", enquanto que a categoria "Dimensão Institucional" integra as unidades de significado "Condições de Trabalho" e "Relacionamento Interpessoal". Os fatores de insatisfação identificados nas entrevistas englobam tanto aspectos pessoais como institucionais e mostram correlação positiva com os achados de outros estudos que abordam sobre esse tema. A insatisfação no trabalho não causa repercussões somente na assistência ao paciente, mas também causa impacto no profissional refletindo na qualidade do seu trabalho e na sua produtividade.Este estudio tiene como objetivo identificar los factores de insatisfacción en el trabajo según la opinión de enfermeras de un hospital de la universidad. Es un estudio cualitativo en perspectiva descriptivo-exploratorio. Del análisis de las entrevistas realizadas con 6 enfermeras, 2 categorías fueron rescatadas: "Dimensión Personal" y "Dimensión Institucional". La categoría "Dimensión Personal" es integrada por las unidades de la significación "Sentimientos Relacionados con el Trabajo" y "Actitudes Relacionados con el Trabajo" al paso que la categoría "Dimensión Institucional" integra las unidades de la significación "Condiciones del Trabajo" y "Relación Interpersonal". Los factores de insatisfacción identificados en las entrevistas comprenden tanto aspectos personales como institucionales y muestran una correlación positiva con los resultados de otros estudios que tratan sobre este tema. La insatisfacción en el trabajo no causa impactos sólo en asistencia para el paciente, pero también causa impacto en el profesional reflejando sobre la calidad de su trabajo y su productividad.This study has the purpose of identifying the factors of work dissatisfaction according to the perception of nurses of a university hospital. This is a qualitative study in descriptive-exploratory approach. From the analysis of the interviews made with 6 nurses came 2 categories "Personal Dimension" and "Institutional Dimension". The category "Personal Dimension" is composed of the units of significance "Sentiments Related to Work" and "Attitudes Related to Work" while the category "Institutional Dimension" included the units of significance "Conditions of Work" and "Interpersonal Relationship". The factors of dissatisfaction identified in the interviews include both personal and institutional aspects, and show positive correlation with the findings of other studies with this subject. The work dissatisfaction does not cause impact only at the assistance for the patient, but causes impact on the professional reflecting on the quality of his work and its productivity too

Nano-mechanical behavior of ultra-stable amorphous metallic thin films

Metallic glass has amorphous structure that behave mechanically like solids but show catastrophic failure due to shear band propagation induced by short range order structure, and they are generally produced by quenching. Recently, it is observed that the slower cooling rate provides the larger time available for atoms to rearrange structure before freezing in glassy state, leading to glass transition temperature and thermal stability. These glasses with enhanced thermal stability synthesized by controlled cooling rate make it useful in various field such as mechanical or oxidation protection material. However, mechanical behavior for metallic glass with extraordinary thermodynamic and kinetic stability has not been studied. In this research, we developed a ultrastable metallic glass thin film by physical vapor deposition process at ambient temperature. Thermal stability is investigated using acceleration testing. Mechanical properties are measured using in-situ tensile testing and discuss thermal stability and fracture behavior dependent on compositio

Propensity to Undergo Cosmetic Surgery and Risky Body Modification among Indoor Tanning Bed Users: An Illustration from Female College Students

The goal of this research is to identify the motivation to undergo cosmetic surgery and to engage in specific types of risky body-modification behaviors that counteract the well-being of frequent tanning bed users. Individuals who engage in indoor tanning bed use are more likely to engage in risky, yet voluntary, body modification such as plastic surgery and risky weight management behaviors. These findings are in line with the previous research that body shape and weight concerns have been associated with frequent indoor tanning, perhaps due to individuals\u27 belief that a tanned appearance makes one’s body shape appear more attractive. Presently, tanning and plastic surgery are perceived by many as body modification behaviors. Given their apparent increase and interconnection, identification of the characteristics of people who engage in tanning and other risky body modification is important to develop the comprehensive understanding of body-tanners

A Dynamic Service Lookup and Discovery Scheme using a Self-Organizing Overlay Network for Indoor Location-Based Service

REACTION 2012. 1st International workshop on Real-time and distributed computing in emerging applications. December 4th, 2012, San Juan, Puerto Rico.Indoor location-based service (LBS) has various challenges, including that of numerous service lookups being requested concurrently and frequently from several locations, and that the network infrastructure needs to support high scalability, such as inserting or deleting network nodes anytime and anywhere. In general, indoor LBS resources are generally located in close proximity to the requested point. However, a traditional centralized LBS system needs to maintain a geographical map of the entire building or complex in its central server, which can cause low scalability and traffic congestion. This paper presents a self-organizing and fully distributed indoor LBS platform through regional cooperation among devices, and a service lookup algorithm that searches for the shortest physical path to the service resource. An evaluation of the performance of the proposed platform has been compared to the traditional centralized method regarding the service turnaround time according to the number of concurrent lookup increases.This work was supported by the IT R&D program of MKE/KEIT.

IDENTIFYING CRITICAL KINEMATIC PARAMETERS FOR BETTER GOLF PUTTING

In modern golf competition, putting is one of the crucial parts of the game. It has been reported that putting accounts for about 40% of all golf shot played in tournaments (Gwyn & Patch, 1993). Wiren (1992) also indicated that, on average, putting constitutes 38% of all golf strokes in competition and improving putting skills is th e fastest way to lower the score. However, it is also true that most recreational golfers neglect the putting and seldom practice it hard. Despite this revealing statistics and the obvious importance of competent putting, much of the pedagogical literature is based on the observations and anecdotal evidence provided by top players and coaches (Paradisis & Rees, 2004). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify critical kinematic parameters of a putt by comparing putts performed by elite and novice golifers, and nongolfers. The findings might provide valuable information for improving putting performance
