During the survey conducted with secondary school students, it was observed that there was a connection between children's internet usage habits and their views on cyber violence. On the other hand, many children do not have full awareness of cyber violence due to their inability to make a clear distinction between cyber violence and daily behaviors (jokes, discussions). Furthermore, in line with the results of the survey analysis, it should be noted that the data obtained also varies according to the age and gender characteristics of the study group. The conducted field work is beyond our intended has been useful in determining the detection of cyber violence awareness, as it provides information about their reactions to cyber violence, except that whether children have information about what cyber violence is.

ABSTRACT The research investigates the German language learning motivations of Polish secondary school students and university students. Questionnaire data were collected from 247 students (126 from secondary school and 121 from university). The aim of this research was to examine the relationships among language attitudes, instrumental, cultural interest, integrative, L2 self and motivated learning. The results show the existence of age and gender difference in variables under consideration. Relationships were found between age and gender to the motivational attitudes: older and female students had a more integrative attitude than younger and mail students and experienced more intensive motivation.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a disorder of energy metabolism associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), comprises a cluster of risk factors—low HDL-C, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperglycemia and central (abdominal) obesity. Although other investigators noted that non central fat loss, especially femoral gluteal depots, are associated with CVD, the association was not as strong as that with central obesity. We hypothesized that age- and gender-dependent changes in body fat distribution would uncover an underlying cause of MetS. However, it is impossible to compare fat distribution based on anatomical circumferences (C) and skin folds (SF) because of the confounding effects of body mass index (BMI), which rises in the early decades and declines thereafter. We developed an algorithm that adjusts skin folds and circumference data for BMI to obtain a BMI-corrected adiposity index (BAI = C/BMI) for each depot. For comparison over time, we normalized the data set to the value in the third decade of life (BAI 3 = 100) and calculated a normalized BAI. as BAI N = [BAI D /BAI 3 ] X 100. Application of this algorithm to the NHANES I data set of C and SF values, reveals BMI-independent changes in body fat distribution as a function of gender and age, with the most profound changes between the second and eighth decades of life occurring in waist C, which increases with time and buttock C, which decreases over the same time interval. In men the changes begin in the third decade of life. In women, the change does not occur until the beginning of the fifth decade of life, which is approximately the perimenopausal period. We propose a mechanistic model in which the underlying defect in MetS, is impaired fat storage in non-central depots, which results in the transfer of non-esterified fatty acids to skeletal muscle thereby impairing glucose disposal, to liver where it drives VLDL-TG synthesis and secretion, and to central fat depots giving the MetS waistline. The defect is not known but could be tissue-specific apoptosis or insulin resistance. If valid, this model would suggest that therapies that enhanced adipogenesis and/or insulin sensitivity in non-central depots could prevent or delay the onset of MetS.

The few studies that have been conducted into the psychometric properties of the EATQ-R, even fewer for the longer version, highlight the fact that its structure differs from that of the original. The aim of this study is to translate and adapt the long version of the EATQ-R to Catalan, study its internal consistency and convergent and factorial validity, and compare differences in the EATQ-R by age and gender. The EATQ-R was administered to a sample of 1481 secondary school students ranging in age from 11 to 17 years. After eliminating 40 items from the 86 comprising the EATQ-R, an adjusted model was obtained with acceptable fit indices comprising 8 of the original 11 factors.
