Download or read book Hispanics and the Future of America written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-02-23 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hispanics and the Future of America presents details of the complex story of a population that varies in many dimensions, including national origin, immigration status, and generation. The papers in this volume draw on a wide variety of data sources to describe the contours of this population, from the perspectives of history, demography, geography, education, family, employment, economic well-being, health, and political engagement. They provide a rich source of information for researchers, policy makers, and others who want to better understand the fast-growing and diverse population that we call "Hispanic." The current period is a critical one for getting a better understanding of how Hispanics are being shaped by the U.S. experience. This will, in turn, affect the United States and the contours of the Hispanic future remain uncertain. The uncertainties include such issues as whether Hispanics, especially immigrants, improve their educational attainment and fluency in English and thereby improve their economic position; whether growing numbers of foreign-born Hispanics become citizens and achieve empowerment at the ballot box and through elected office; whether impending health problems are successfully averted; and whether Hispanics' geographic dispersal accelerates their spatial and social integration. The papers in this volume provide invaluable information to explore these issues.
Book Synopsis Body Image, Acculturation, Menopause, and Weight-related Behaviors in Hispanic Women by : Daisy S. Garcia
Download or read book Body Image, Acculturation, Menopause, and Weight-related Behaviors in Hispanic Women written by Daisy S. Garcia and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all U.S. ethnic/racial women groups, Hispanic/Latino women have the second highest rate of obesity; in addition, women aged 40 to 59 are the most affected by this condition. Physical activity and dietary behaviors are usually the target for promoting healthy weight in Hispanic women, yet personal factors, such as body image perception changes as the women acculturate, are less included, particularly when addressing middle-aged and older Hispanic women. Similar to younger populations, middle-aged and older women experience body image (dis)satisfaction. As these women acculturate, their body image discrepancy--the difference between the current and ideal body image--varies, and is associated with an increase of body weight. In addition, the current research neglects the symptoms these women face at menopause, which are known to affect women's physical functioning and quality of life. This dissertation examines the relationship between postmenopausal Hispanic women's acculturative factors, body image discrepancy, physical activity, dietary intake, body mass index (BMI), and waist-hip ratio (WHR) values. It also explores existing literature on the association between menopause and middle aged Hispanic women's physical activity and dietary behaviors. Manuscript one (Chapter II), assesses the cross-sectional association between acculturation, body image discrepancy, intake of fruit, vegetables, fats, physical activity, BMI and WHR. Results show that high acculturation is positively associated with inactivity and that body image discrepancy increase the odds of being inactive, of having normal weight and low WHR, and of being less likely to consume less than 30% calories from fat/day. Manuscript two (Chapter III) examines longitudinally the relationship between body image discrepancy and patterns of BMI and physical activity over 6 years. Results show that physical activity and BMI trajectories are not significantly different, either by Hispanic or body image discrepancy groups. However, women with greater body image discrepancy and those who perceived their figure as heavier or thinner that the ideal figure had lower physical activity scores. In manuscript three (Chapter IV), the review of literature shows that there is a void of studies focusing on dietary behaviors and symptoms at menopause, and a scarcity of studies addressing physical activity or physical functioning and symptoms at menopause. The six studies included in this review show that menopause symptoms play a role in physical mobility and that Hispanic women are more likely to report physical functional impairments and being less physically active. In general, they were mostly overweight or obese as a result. Each of the manuscripts have a different methodology and focus, but are related in that they explore factors associated with body weight in Hispanic women living in the United States. Jointly, these three manuscripts highlight the importance of considering body image perceptions, acculturative factors, and menopause discomforts as well as to embark on studies including both physical activity and dietary behaviors when addressing Hispanic women body weight needs.
Book Synopsis Latina Women's Body Image: Understanding the Role of Family and Media by : Maritza Elizabeth Rodriguez
Download or read book Latina Women's Body Image: Understanding the Role of Family and Media written by Maritza Elizabeth Rodriguez and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study examined body image experiences of middle-aged Latinas. I used social learning theory to understand how women learned about body image ideals from families and friends and cultivation theory to understand how the consistent exposure of the ideal body via media has influenced their understanding of body image. In-depth group and individual interviews with 8 participants were examined using a thematic analysis. The participants described their personal interpretations of the ideal body in relation to skin color, body shape, and aging. The women described the role that family, peers, and media played in the conceptualization of the ideal body and evaluations of their own body. Findings suggest Latinas provide and receive messages about the body, that reflect a conflict between mainstream ideals and the personal ideals. Moreover, they are concerned about what goes into the body and what they do to the body to maintain it. Overall, middle-aged Latinas have a holistic approach to body ideal that goes beyond the physical body.
Book Synopsis Biological Shape Analysis by : Pete E. Lestrel
Download or read book Biological Shape Analysis written by Pete E. Lestrel and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2013 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This proceedings volume describes the current state of research dealing with biological shape analysis. The quantitative analysis of the shape of biological organisms represents a challenge that has now seen breakthroughs with new methodologies such as elliptical Fourier analysis, quantitative trait loci analysis (QTLs), thin plate splines, etc. The volume also illustrates the diversity of disciplines that are actively involved in the characterization and analysis of the biological shape. Some of the papers deal with the need to relate the underlying genome responsible for the actual observed characteristics of form. Moreover, many of the papers focus on the relationship of the shape to the processes that determine the biological form, an issue of major continuing concern in biology. This volume brings together for the second time practitioners from a variety of disciplines who have been concerned with the necessity of applying new methods to the analysis of biological shape. Previous methodologies based on the conventional metrical approach (distances, angles and ratios), have not been able to adequately capture OCo in quantitative terms OCo the subtleties and complexities of biological form due to its irregularity. This volume represents an initial attempt to quantitatively characterize the biological form in both two- and three-dimensions, as it is actually perceived. There is no volume available that deals with the subject matter of these Proceedings. The papers represent, as in the first proceedings, a unique look at: (1) new methodologies developed and used quantitatively describe the biological form; (2) the need to relate the observed biological shape to the underlying processes that determine the shape; and (3) the tremendous diversity of disciplines actively involved in the characterization and analysis of biological shapes. These range from physical anthropology, anatomy, genetics, botany, entomology, forensics, to applied mathematics, etc.

This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proceedings were designed to bring together researchers who share a common interest in the quantitative description of the biological form. Participants came from very diverse disciplines such as agricultural genetics, botany, entomology, forensics, human anatomy, paleontology, human evolution, primatology, dentistry, etc. The participants applied various methodological approaches that are being increasingly used to describe aspects of the biological form. These techniques include neural networks, Fourier descriptors, shape mapping, genome-wide association studies (GWAS), Riemann curves, surface mapping, etc. A number of the contributions in the proceedings represent state of the art research that reflects advances in that discipline.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge Handbook of the International Psychology of Women by : Fanny M. Cheung
Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of the International Psychology of Women written by Fanny M. Cheung and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 1524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing knowledge base in understanding the differences and similarities between women and men, as well as the diversities among women and sexualities. Although genetic and biological characteristics define human beings conventionally as women and men, their experiences are contextualized in multiple dimensions in terms of gender, sexuality, class, age, ethnicity, and other social dimensions. Beyond the biological and genetic basis of gender differences, gender intersects with culture and other social locations which affect the socialization and development of women across their life span. This handbook provides a comprehensive and up-to-date resource to understand the intersectionality of gender differences, to dispel myths, and to examine gender-relevant as well as culturally relevant implications and appropriate interventions. Featuring a truly international mix of contributors, and incorporating cross-cultural research and comparative perspectives, this handbook will inform mainstream psychology of the international literature on the psychology of women and gender.
Book Synopsis Gluteal Fat Augmentation by : Alvaro Cansanção
Download or read book Gluteal Fat Augmentation written by Alvaro Cansanção and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brazilian Butt Lift has been described by many, but there is no definitive resource or book that details the procedure as performed by Brazilian Plastic Surgeons. The editors conducted a recent survey among the members of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgeons (SBCP) and have seen that there are many differences in approach, style, technique, and even materials used between what is being done around the world and what is being done in Brazil. While addressing recent media attention and scares, this book features contributions from world renowned Brazilian and international Plastic Surgeons addressing the high morbidity and mortality recently reported and establish tried and true safety protocols. To increase the scope of the book, differing views of techniques and methods are also included, making this a truly global book covering the specific gluteal region. Gluteal Fat Augmentation: Best Practices in Brazilian Butt Lift will open with the history of the procedure, go through the anatomy and the ethnic aspects of the aesthetics of the gluteal region. The book features special chapters on gluteal fat augmentation and a wide variety of techniques to improve the gluteal contour. A wealth of images accompany the text to fully illustrate the different approaches and techniques of gluteal fat augmentation, reshaping, and contouring including the use of fillers, implants, lift, and correction of depressions and deformities of the region. Written for practicing plastic surgeons, this book is poised to become the go-to reference for cosmetic and reconstructive concerns surrounding the gluteal region.
Book Synopsis Handbook on the Economics of Women in Sports by : Michael Leeds
Download or read book Handbook on the Economics of Women in Sports written by Michael Leeds and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'In the Handbook on the Economics of Women in Sports, Leeds and Leeds put together an impressive list of heavy hitters in the sociology and economics literature on sports to produce a tour de force volume. The entire spectrum of international perspectives is covered, from US, Korean, and Australian sports to world competition at the highest level of the Olympics and international championships. Whether your interest is attendance at women's events, performance and rewards in women's pro sports, gender issues in US college sports, or international performance and how women compete, this handbook is a must read for any serious fan, and for all serious scholars interested in the impacts of being female on sports performance and competitiveness.' Rodney Fort, University of Michigan, US 'Leeds and Leeds have filled a gaping hole in sports economics with this revealing collection of essays. The economics of women in sports has been too long neglected. By covering everything from women as sports spectators, to women as participants in individual and team sports at the collegiate and professional levels, to women's sports internationally, Title IX, and women's differential response to incentives, this volume not only demonstrates that there is much fertile ground to be studied, but also that the subject matter is both interesting and important.' Andrew Zimbalist, Smith College, US Women's sports have received much less attention from economists than from other social scientists. This Handbook fills that gap with a comprehensive economic analysis of women's sports. It also analyzes how the behavior and treatment of female athletes reflect broad economic forces. Contributors to this volume use current theoretical models and econometric tools to examine the legal, social, and economic forces that affect the experiences of female athletes. They address such traditional topics as discrimination against female athletes and coaches and the effect of athletic events on the economies of host countries. They also apply theory and estimation to new settings, such as how women respond to tournaments in skiing and figure skating or how the growing dominance of Korean women on the LPGA tour is a form of immigration. This groundbreaking book is a valuable resource for professors, students, and researchers in sports economics, sports management, and women's studies.
