Body Dissatisfaction in College Women and Their Mothers: Cohort Effects, Developmental Effects, and the Influences of Body Size, Sexism, and the Thin Body Ideal

Abstract: A study of body dissatisfaction, as measured by the Figure Rating Scale (Stunkard, Sorenson, & Schlusinger, 1983) and the Body Esteem Scale (Franzoi & Shields, 1984), in 75 college women and their mothers indicated that both daughters and mothers experienced body dissatisfaction. When body size was statistically controlled, either no difference was found between the groups or daughters were found to have greater body dissatisfaction than mothers. The results supported the hypotheses that (1) there are generational differences in body dissatisfaction, (2) both cohort and developmental effects contribute to these differences, and (3) that a developmental effect (mothers' greater body size) may obscure a cohort effect (daughters' greater exposure to the thin body ideal). Body dissatisfaction measures based on the mothers' retrospective ratings of how they felt at their daughters' age were consistent with these hypotheses. Relationships between body dissatisfaction and the Sociocultural Attitudes Toward Appearance Questionnaire (Heinberg, Thompson, & Stormer, 1995) were stronger and more frequent for daughters than for mothers and for the Internalization Scale than for the Awareness Scale. Relationships between the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (Glick & Fiske, 2001) and body dissatisfaction were stronger for mothers than for daughters and for Benevolent Sexism than for Hostile Sexism.

Analytical models of front- and back-gate potential distribution and threshold voltage for recessed source/drain UTB SOI MOSFETs

Abstract: Front-gate and back-gate potential distributions and threshold voltage of recessed source/drain (ReS/D) ultrathin body (UTB) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MOSFETs are modeled. The analytical expressions of the front-gate and the back-gate potential distributions are derived by assuming a parabolic potential variation perpendicular to channel and by solving 2D Poisson’s equation. Based on strong inversion criterion applied to the surface potential minimum value, threshold voltage model of the short channel ReS/D UTB SOI MOSFETs is derived. The model is verified by comparison with 2D numerical device simulator over a wide range of different material and geometrical parameters and very good agreement is obtained.

Changes in the provision of institutionalized mental health care in post-communist countries.

Abstract: Numbers of general psychiatric and forensic psychiatric beds, supported housing capacities and the size of the prison population have been suggested as indicators of institutionalized mental health care According to the Penrose hypothesis, decreasing psychiatric bed numbers may lead to an increase of the prison population The study aimed to assess indicators of institutionalized mental health care in post-communist countries during the two decades following the political change of the year 1989, and to explore whether the data are consistent with the Penrose hypothesis in that historical context Data on general psychiatric and forensic psychiatric bed numbers, supported housing capacities and the prison population were collected in Azerbaijan, Belarus, Croatia, Czech Republic, East Germany, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Russia and Slovenia Percentage change of indicators over the decades 1989-1999, 1999-2009 and the whole period of 1989-2009 and correlations between changes of different indicators were calculated Results Between 1989 and 2009, the number of general psychiatric beds was reduced in all countries The decrease ranged from -11% in Croatia to -51% in East Germany, and led to bed numbers per 100, 000 population that ranged from 447 in Azerbaijan to 1344 in Latvia Forensic psychiatric bed numbers and supported housing capacities increased in most countries From 1989-2009, trends in the prison population were inconsistent and ranged from a decrease of -58% in East Germany to an increase of 43% in Belarus and Poland Trends over time in different indicators of institutionalised care did not show statistically significant associations Discussion After the political changes in 1989, post-communist countries experienced a substantial reduction in general psychiatric hospital beds, which in some countries may have partly been compensated by an increase in supported housing capacities and more forensic psychiatric beds Changes in the prison population are inconsistent The findings do not support the Penrose hypothesis in the given historical context as a general rule for most of the countries More accurate data and wider research are required for a better understanding of historical trends in institutionalised care and their drivers
