SYNOPSISA variety of sociocultural, familial and individual features associated with the eating disorders were examined in subjects with full syndrome (FS) and partial syndrome (PS) eating disorders and in normal high school students. The EAT-26 was administered to 995 high school students. This was followed by individual interviews with those who scored in the symptomatic range. Fifty-one students with PS eating disorders, 57 students without eating disorders (normal controls) and 30 hospital patients with FS, anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa were compared on subscales of the Eating Disorder Inventory, the Diagnostic Survey for Eating Disorders and the Beck Depression Inventory. The three groups displayed statistically significant differences on dimensions of EDI subscales Ineffectiveness and Interoceptive Awareness and also with respect to depression, history of being overweight and past history of emotional problems, as well as having mothers with medical illnesses. On these characteristics, the FS subjects displayed higher levels than the PS subjects, who in turn were higher than the NC subjects. The PS subjects displayed elevations on Body Dissatisfaction (EDI subscale), past medical illnesses, and mother's over-concern with eating and weight. These data support a continuum model of the eating disorders, but a continuum of multiple associated features rather than of dieting.

AbstractEating disorders are often in older teens and young women with prevalence 4-5% with increasing tendency. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of eating disorders among adolescents in the city of Kragujevac, and to examine the relationship between the age and the type of eating disorder that can occur in adolescents.This descriptive, cross sectional study involved 220 participants (16-25 years old, 105 high school students and 115 students of the Faculty of Medical Sciences in Kragujevac, Serbia). Eating Attitudes Test EAT-26 questionnaire was used as a screening instrument, which consists of three subscales related to eating disorders (dieting, bulimia, oral control diet). The frequency of disturbed attitudes and eating habits among the investigated population was 26,8% (EAT-26 score ≥20). The high school students had a significantly higher score values (30,4% of girls achieved values EAT-26 score ≥20) than the medical students. Among the respondents, 17,6% were malnourished, 72,7% normal weight, 9,3% of the overweight and 0,5% obese. Eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS) was 13,7%, subclinical bulimia 4,4% and subclinical anorexia 8,8%. There was statistically significant difference (p=0,024) in the expression of behavioral disorders between students of high school and faculty education.Our results suggest that malnutrition and anorexic syndrome are more frequently in population of medical students, but on the other hand, obesity and subclinical bulimic syndrome have a higher prevalence in high school student`s population, which can be explained by inappropriate education for adolescents.

Salah satu transisi gaya hidup yang terjadi adalah perubahan perilaku makan yang paling berdampak pada kaum perempuan untuk terlihat cantik dengan berdiet berlebihan yang menjurus pada Perilaku Makan Menyimpang (PMM). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui penyebab, mekanisme, dan proses terjadinya PMM dari persepsi penderita. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Penelitian kualitatif dilakukan pada 3 informanyang pernah mengalami PMM. Penelitian kuantitatif, dilakukan pada 397 responden yang belum mengalami PMM. Waktu pengambilan data adalah bulan Mei-Juni 2007 dengan menggunakan metode wawancara mendalam untuk penelitian kualitatif dan wawancara terstruktur menggunakan kuesioner dari Sarafino dari Stice untuk penelitian kuantitatif. Studi kualitatif menemukan bahwa semua informan bermasalah dengan anggota keluarganya, terdapat pengaruh pola asuh keluarga yang cukup besar, memiliki citra tubuh dan konsep diri yang terdistorsi, dan berada di lingkungan yang tidak mendukung orang gemuk. Hasil penelitian kuantitatif menemukan prevalensi PMM yang terjadi di Jakarta dengan kuasioner Sarafino adalah 37,3% dan prevalensi anoreksianervosa dengan kuesioneri Stice adalah 11,6 % dan prevalensi kecenderungan bulimia nervosa adalah 27%.Kata kunci : Perilaku makan menyimpang, anoreksia nervosa, bulimia nervosaAbstractOne of the life style changes that occur recently is related to eating behavior that affect mostly women because of the desire to look beautiful with a thin and tall body. One way to achieve this figure is to strictly go on dieting which could lead to eating disorders. The objective of this research is to understand thecause, mechanism, and process of eating disorders. The methods in this research are both qualitative and quantitative. The subjects of the qualitative research are three persons who are willing to be the subject and have a past history of eating disorders. The quantitative subjects are 397 respondents thathave not been diagnosed with eating disorders. The research was held at May-June 2007. The information are gathered through in-depth interview for the qualitative research and by through self report questionnaire for the quantitative research. The result from qualitative research shows that all of the subjects have problems with their family, the parenting practice have a big influence in their life, they also have a distorted body image and poor self-concept, and they are living in an environment that have a negative behavior towards overweight problems. The quantitative research shows that using Sarafino questionnaire, there are 37.3% adolescents who have a tendency toward eating disorders. Using the Stice and Telch questionnaire, there are 11.6% adolescents that have a tendency towards anorexia nervosa, and 27.0% adolescents that have a tendency towards bulimia nervosa.Keywords : Eating disorder, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa

ABSTRACTBackgroundDespite a growing body of literature reporting eating disorders (EDs) in non-Western countries in recent years, most of these studies are limited to questionnaire-based surveys or case-series studies. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and correlates of EDs in Taiwanese high-school students.MethodsThe study subjects consisted of all the female high-school students enrolled in the gifted dance class in 2003 in Taiwan (n=655) and non-dance female students randomly chosen from the same school (n=1251). All the participants were asked to complete self-report questionnaires, including the 26-item Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) and the Bulimic Investigatory Test Edinburgh (BITE). All the screen positives and an approximate 10% random sample of the screen negatives were then interviewed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV-TR Axis I Disorders Patient Version (SCID-I/P).ResultsThe prevalence of individual EDs was much higher in the dance [0·7% for anorexia nervosa (AN), 2·5% for bulimia nervosa (BN) and 4·8% for EDs, not otherwise specified (EDNOS)] than in the non-dance (0·1, 1·0 and 0·7% respectively) students. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that being in the dance class, higher concern about body shape and lower family support were correlates of EDs for all students, whereas lower parental education level was associated with EDs only for non-dance students.ConclusionEDs were more prevalent in the weight-concerned subpopulation. Although AN is still rare, BN has emerged as a comparable prevalent disorder in Taiwan, as in Western countries.

National assessments of U.S. high school students' writing and other verbal abilities do not show that literacy has declined substantially in recent years. In fact, scores have been relatively stable since the 1980s. The proportion of students with solid writing and reading abilities has held fairly steady but remained small during the past 25 years. During this period, however, the proportion of high school graduates who enter higher education has soared. Thus, more students with weak verbal abilities now enter college. Initiatives that encourage people to continue their education have succeeded, whereas initiatives to improve writing, reading, and reasoning abilities have not. The complex causes of entering college students' weak verbal abilities include social and cultural forces as well as decisions by educational institutions. By understanding the complicated history of this issue and reframing it in positive terms, business and technical communication faculty can help effect change.

The Eighteenth Annual Meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics was held at the Palmer House, Chicago, Illinois, February 19–20, 1937. It was the largest meeting in the history of our organization, 836 registered and more than a thousand were in attendance. The Board of Directors met in two sessions and conducted the necessary business for the ensuing year. A trip was made to the Adler Planetarium and a lecture in the Planetarium was enjoyed on the subject, “The Determination of Time and Place.” At 8:00 p.m. the first General Meeting was called to order by President Martha Hildebrandt in the Grand Ball Room of the Palmer House. The Address of Welcome was made by James E. McDade, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Chicago, Illinois, and the response by Mrs. Florence Brooks Miller, First Vice-President, Shaker Heights, Ohio. Secretary Schreiber made the opening announcements. Professor Albert A. Bennett of Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island addressed the group on the topic “Mathematics and Life.” This was followed by a series of projects in high school mathematics reported by some twenty high school students from Hyde Park High School, Chicago, Illinois, under the direction of Miss Beulah I. Shoesmith. This feature of the program was much appreciated by the audience of some seven hundred teachers.

ObjectiveTo examine the association between concussion history and suicidal behaviors in adolescents from the 2017 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS).BackgroundResearch indicates that behavioral changes such as impulsivity and lack of emotional control are common following youth concussion. Additional evidence suggests that poor behavioral regulation may contribute to altered mood states that precede possible self-injury or fatality. To date, the relation between adolescent concussion and suicidal behaviors has not been explored on a national scale.Design/MethodsData from 14,765 high school students were cross-sectionally analyzed. Weighted multivariate logistic regressions were conducted to estimate adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of suicidal behaviors in students with and without a history of concussion. Age, sex, and alcohol use were controlled for in the regression model.ResultsAdolscents with history of concussion were at greater odds of reporting suicidal ideation (AOR = 1.39, CI 1.16, 1.65), suicide planning (AOR = 1.34, CI 1.14, 1.57), suicidal attempts (AOR = 1.68, CI 1.36, 2.09), and injurious suicidal attempts (AOR = 2.42, CI 1.82, 3.22). In addition, females with a history of concussion demonstrated greater odds of reporting poor mental health than males with history of concussion (p’s < 0.05). Further, history of concussion among individuals aged 16 years or older was significantly associated with increased suicidal behaviors, whereas this association was not observed in younger adolescents (p’s < 0.05).ConclusionsOur findings indicate that adolescents who sustain a concussion have greater odds of suicidality than their uninjured counterparts. Further, suicidality was better predicted by concussion exposure in females than males, and in older students. Consequently, these results indicate the importance of examining mental health following youth concussion, and highlight the need for further longitudinal research.

Background: Pre-diabetes is a stage prior to diabetes mellitus (DM) and many studies in west countries found the risk factors of diabetes were mostly related to the nutri onal status of being overweight and obese. Dia- betes mellitus is not only experienced by adults but also by teenagers. They have the poten al for pre-diabetes because they may have unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking, consuming alcohol, high-calories, and junk foods and lack of physical ac vity. This study aims to determine the risk factors of pre-diabetes among senior high school students in Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Methods: This study was a qualita ve study using a ques onnaire as an instrument for data collec on. It consists of a set of ques ons on diabetes risk. This research conducted in four public senior high schools in Palangka Raya with the total sample was 131 respondents have par cipated in this research. Results: 25 respondents (19.1%) from a total sample of 131 par cipants suffered from pre-diabetes and 30.5% of respondents had a family with DM. Some students (6.9%) had a smoking habit and 13% incidence of pre- diabetes in high school students related to these factors (R2: 0.13). Only less than half of the total respondents (43.5%) had a normal BMI. As many as 39.7% of respondents were undernourished while the rest were over- weight. Conclusion: Pre-diabetes factors on teenagers in Palangka Raya are female dominate had a history of DM, and being overweight. This study further leads to the importance of weight control that focusing on physical ac vity and dietary management as early precau ons. Health educa on is required to suppress the number of risk fac- tors for diabetes.

AbstractThe history of Otto Stern’s pioneering measurement of the Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution of a Silver atomic beam performed 1919 in Frankfurt is described. It is shown how Albert Einstein influenced Stern in his research. This experimental apparatus is not any more existing; therefore it was reconstructed in the workshops of the Physics faculty of the Goethe University in Frankfurt. The experimental verification of Stern’s results was finally achieved by a team of Frankfurt high school students (Gymnasium Riedberg) under the supervision of their teachers Axel Gruppe and Simon Cerny. By fighting against a number of difficulties, they succeeded to get the reconstructed apparatus started and were able to reproduce the results from the early experiments of Stern.
