A Longitudinal Study of Body Change Strategies Among Adolescent Males

This study was designed to examine the factors predicting a range of body change strategies among adolescent males over an 8-month time period. This is the first published longitudinal study of body change strategies to increase weight and muscles among males. The 5 body change strategies in the present study were eating and exercise to lose weight, increase weight, increase muscles, bingeing, and use of food supplements. The extent to which Body Mass Index (BMI) and these body change strategies predicted each other over an 8-month period was evaluated. The role of pressure from parents and peers to lose weight, increase weight, or increase muscles was also evaluated. After controlling for the Time 1 level of each variable, only bingeing, and use of food supplements were predicted by other Time 1 body change variables. Bingeing at Time 1, and a combination of all of the other variables predicted bingeing at Time 2; use of food supplements and bingeing at Time 1 predicted the use of food supplements at Time 2. Perceived pressure from parents and peers to lose weight at Time 1 predicted strategies to lose weight at Time 2; perceived pressure from parents and peers to increase weight at Time 1 predicted strategies to increase weight at Time 2; and perceived pressure to lose weight, increase weight, and increase muscles at Time 1 predicted the use of food supplements at Time 2. These results indicate that extreme body change strategies are predicted by the adoption of more normative body change strategies at an earlier point in time, and that a range of body change strategies among adolescent males are affected by perceived pressures from parents and peers.     

广西滨海旅游资源开发评价

一、引言 近年来随着国内、区内以及周边国际旅游市场的带动，广西滨海旅游开发取得了很大的进步，相关研究也日益丰富，但关于滨海旅游资源开发尚缺乏详细的调查和科学的评价，这很大程度制约了人们对广西滨海旅游资源的认识。本研究在相关项目支持下对广西滨海旅游资源进行了大量考查，利用滨海旅游资源调查的大量数据资料，应用SPSS软件和ARCVIEW软件，采用聚类和空间分析方法，

刑事源流研讨会会议综述

华东政法学院离退休高级专家协会于2005年11月3日召开了刑事源流研讨会。会议由徐建教授主持,与会刑法学、犯罪学专家围绕“刑事源流”这个主题展开了热烈的讨论。夏吉先教授首先做了发言,指出其新著《刑事源流论》并非刑事源流史学著作,而是在刑事学科领域内的一种学科理念主张,整体刑法学、刑事一体化、刑事源流论所用的词语虽然不同,但其基本思想是相同的。他从社会的变迁中感悟到犯罪问题动态研究的重要性;从刑法学上的“因果论”研究感悟犯罪学上的“源流论”研究的重要性;从刑法学与犯罪学谁先谁后之争,感悟到刑事一体化理念的重要性…     

浅论马克思现实人道主义精神

人类社会生活过程,在某种意义上可以看成是人类主体不断超越客观现实对其制约性的过程.整个唯心主义哲学,在更深的层面看,就是对主体能动性超越过程的一种精神渴望和理论指认.但是,我们通过分析发现,唯心主义并没有如期所愿,只有当马克思完成了新唯物主义理论原则的构建,将人道主义铆钉在现实性的第三个层面即对资本主义社会运行机制的科学透视之上,人道主义精神才从一种价值诉求走向科学.将科学的人道主义精神贯彻到现实生活过程,即实现人类社会的公平正义与和谐幸福,构成了马克思人道主义现实性的第四个层面,则是摆在我们当前的现实任务.

Sudden death due to an unrecognized cardiac hydatid cyst

Echinococcosis is an endemic disease, most common in sheep-raising communities, usually caused by the larval or cyst stage of the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. Isolated cardiac hydatid cyst is uncommon at any age, occurs through the coronary circulation, and accounts for less than 3% of all hydatid disease. We describe a case of an 1%-year-old female, who died suddenly. The post-mortem examination revealed an isolated cyst in the left ventricle of the heart with intact wall. The cytologic examination of the cyst fluid demonstrated the presence of the characteristic scolices and hooklets and established the diagnosis of cardiac hydatid cyst. The present case is of special interest because of the rare primary localization and the onset of sudden death in a young person as the initial manifestation of the disease.
