Examining the structure of visual analogue scales to capture motivation to eat in fasting and post-meal conditions
The visual analogue scale (VAS) methodology for tracking hunger, fullness, desire to eat and prospective consumption attempts to capture conceptually distinct but related dimensions of motivation to eat. It is the most commonly used methodology to measure subjective motivation to eat in human appetite and energy balance research. The current paper examined the underlying factor structure of the 4 motivation to eat VAS: 1) in 552 participants from…
‘Gestures Proper to Each of Them’
William Shakespeare ascended to the status of English national poet over the course of the eighteenth century. His literary work entered the cultural imagination not only through theatrical performances and printed texts, but the playwright's corpus was also represented visually — in painted and printed media, and as or on material culture objects. Privileging Shakespearean themed printed fans and snuff boxes, this article probes the capability o…
Adding Friction to Mandatory Reporting
Mandatory reporting laws require the reporting to a designated government agency of a known or suspected case of abuse or neglect of children, elders, or other dependent adults. While these laws vary, researchers can be mandated to report suspected cases of abuse or neglect under a wide range of circumstances. This paper argues that a survivor-centered and trauma-informed research praxis calls for (1) actively challenging biased or uncritical rep…
Susceptibility to increased high energy dense sweet and savoury food intake in response to the Covid-19 lockdown
Measuring the Self-Reliance of Refugees
How do we know whether a refugee household is self-reliant if this is not measured? Although self-reliance has been promoted as a critical assistance strategy for refugees in recent years, there have been limited attempts to rigorously measure the concept. This field report introduces a new measurement tool to assess the movement toward self-reliance among refugee households. The development and utility of a tool to measure self-reliance are desc…
Facilitators and barriers in implementing the Minimum Initial Services Package (Misp) for reproductive health in Nepal post-earthquake
Ensuring RH is included in emergency preparedness and immediate response efforts and is continued through the transition to comprehensive care is critical for national governments and humanitarian response agencies. The MISP for RH remains a critical component of response efforts, and the humanitarian community should consider these learnings in future emergency response
Are objectively measured free-living physical activity and sedentary behaviour associated with control over eating and food preferences in women
Family planning in refugee settings
To address family planning for crisis-affected communities, in 2011 and 2012, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the Women’s Refugee Commission undertook a multi-country assessment to document knowledge of family planning, beliefs and practices of refugees, and the state of service provision in the select refugee settings of Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh; Ali Addeh, Djibouti; Amman, Jordan; Eastleigh, Kenya; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; a…
A novel integrative procedure for identifying and integrating three-dimensions of objectively measured free-living sedentary behaviour
Information from two validated activity monitors was combined to obtain an objective measure of free-living SB based on posture and activity intensity during waking hours. The amount of sedentary time accumulated varied according to the definition of SB and its measurement. The novel data integration and processing procedures presented in this paper represents an opportunity to investigate whether different components of SB are differentially rel…
Investigating the impact of sedentariness on appetite control. A multilevel platform linking energy intake and energy expenditure
Am I Thin Enough Yet? The Cult of Thinness and the Commercialization of Identity . Sharlene Hesse-Biber Dedication to Hunger
Obesity stigmatization and coping
Beauty Mandates and the Appearance Obsession
This article examines the effects of appearance norms within lesbian communities, drawing both on the research literature and on direct interviews with lesbian and bisexual women. In particular, the authors assess the impact of heterosexual beauty mandates on women's communities and ask whether lesbian and bisexual women are affected by the dominant culture's beauty mandates to a similar or lesser degree than heterosexual women. In addition, the …
