ABSTRACT:From an early age, girls are surrounded by a desire to be thin. Because of this, eating disorders are a growing epidemic. Technology has been infused into the dietary world, enabling people to diet by themselves as long as Wi-Fi is present. Caloric input applications (apps that count calories) (CCA) have become the efficient way to monitor dietary choices. CCAs use feedback to alert users of proper caloric intake. It was hypothesized that if a diet that ranged between 800-1200 calories a day was entered into a CCA, then feedback generated would be more positive as compared to negative. During three weeks, the dietary choices of the principle investigator (P.I.) were entered into two CCAs. Three dietary profiles were used to simulate the eating habits of an adolescent female. Caloric intake was tracked three times a day and feedback was collected. A certified psychologist classified the feedback. It was determined that there was a relationship between calories entered into the app and the type of feedback generated. Future studies should focus on the development of a CCA that focuses more on when the user is eating rather than calories.Dès l'enfance, les filles sont entourées des messages leur incitant d'un désir d'être minces. En conséquence, les troubles du comportement alimentaire sont devenus une épidémie croissante. La technologie a pénétré le monde diététique, permettant aux gens de suivre un régime eux-mêmes là où le WiFi est présent. Des applications d'apport caloriques (les apps qui calculent des calories) (ACC) sont devenues une façon efficace de contrôler des choix diététiques. Les ACCs font des observations par rapport à l'information qui a été saisie afin de proposer aux utilisateurs des choix correspondant à une consommation calorique appropriée. L'hypothèse projetée a été le suivant : si un régime comportant entre 800-1200 calories par jour a été saisie dans un ACC, les observations générées par l'app seraient plus positif que négatif. Au cours de trois semaines, l'enquêteur principal (E.P.) a enregistré ses choix diététiques dans deux ACCs. Trois distincts profils diététiques ont été programmés afin de simuler les habitudes alimentaires d'une adolescente. La consommation calorique a été surveillée trois fois par jour et une collecte d'information rassemblée. Un psychologue certifié a analysé la collecte d'information. Il a été conclu qu'il y avait une relation directe entre la saisie des calories dans l'app et les observations correspondent généré par ceci. Des études futures devraient se concentrer sur le développement d'un ACC qui se concentre plus sur l'heure pendant lequel l'utilisateur saisie les données (c'est-à-dire, le moment quand l'utilisateur mange) plutôt que le calcul des calories.

“…Trixie"s fears of not fitting in may have also been symptomatic of her experiences within mainstream and other cultural contexts. The need to conform to the right fashion trends and have a certain look is well documented, particularly as it impacts on female self-image (Mitrofan 2012;Bishop 2010). Punks have been determined to reject accepted notions of beauty and attractiveness.…”

Outcasts and Orchestrators: Finding Indigeneity in Contemporary Aotearoa Punk Culture

<p>Though not acknowledged as a realm heavy with indigenous participation, punk culture has the potential to provide solidarity for the indigenous people it attracts. In this study, I explore how indigeneity is being expressed in Aotearoa punk culture by indigenous punks. Through interviews, participants articulated that punk culture has provided an alternative means of belonging in contemporary and diasporic settings that have necessitated a broadening of ways in which to find and reclaim indigeneity. Though punk culture cannot be seen as a realm that is imbedded with indigenous sentiment, participants suggest that its egalitarian philosophies and ethos of freedom and autonomy are conversant to indigenous experiences and desires that make it a potential port of solidarity for indigenous punks.</p>
