After the data were triangulated by sources and methods then we analyzed data using the simulakra theory of Jean P. Baudrillard to see the excessive consumption of jilbab fashion trends by students. The main results indicate that the growing jilbab fashion trends through social media have made student’s experience enjoy excessive consumeristic behavior for many years. Most female students imitate the public figures as their role models. They admire at female fashion models having full of signs and meanings hence they reproducing signs and meaning for their own interests. They become addicted to buying the latest hijab fashion products regardless of neither use it or sell it. They keep uploading their own photos wearing most current fashion in Instagram. . It seems that they create an uncertainty either the use of fashionable jilbab recommended by religion or promoting them as commercial products in social media.

Object Of Study

Given the global investment problem of the population pyramid, the increase in older adults can be considered as an alternative to generate new proposals for tourism activities aimed at this segment, regarding their needs, interests and desires. In Mexico, according to INEGI (2015), the aging rate is 38% with an average age of 27 years. This alternative will have a social and economic impact on the sector, making the necessary proposals regarding the adaptability of some elements of the tourism system of the municipalities involved that make up the High Mountain Region. To do this, depending on the research objective, the methodology that was applied is mixed, consisting of an exploratory research (where various documentary sources and secondary sources were used), which served to contextualize and point out the object of study, A descriptive study was also carried out, through the application of 384 surveys that served as a preliminary tool to generate statistics and graphs that concentrate the main indicators related to the study objective. The contribution of this study is the inclusion of older adults with a social and economic impact in the region.

Object Of Study

O licenciamento ambiental para a instalação de grandes empreendimentos turístico-imobiliários é uma exigência legal, devido à singularidade ambiental dos ecossistemas presentes na zona costeira. O estudo, em tela, objetiva refletir criticamente sobre a construção de um documento fundamental para obtenção da licença ambiental, o Relatório de Impacto Ambiental (RIMA), que compila as informações do Estudo de Impacto Ambiental (EIA), especificamente de 04 empreendimentos localizados em destinos considerados ecoturísticos no Estado do Ceará. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório e descritivo, em que os procedimentos metodológicos se concentraram no estudo e sistematização dos processos conceituais e documentais pertinentes ao objeto de estudo, com pesquisas bibliográfica e documental. Houve a aplicação de técnicas investigativas para análise dos documentos, como a análise de conteúdo. A análise baseou-se em dois aspectos: a construção interdisciplinar dos RIMAs e a valorização turística de destinos como justificativa para o processo de mercantilização das praias e especulação imobiliária. Os resultados apontam que os RIMAs não apresentam um caráter interdisciplinar e utilizam o turismo como atividade indutora do desenvolvimento local, favorecendo a mercantilização das praias e a especulação imobiliária. Environmental licensing of tourist projects in coastal ecotourism destinations of Ceará (Brazil): critical reflections ABSTRACT The environmental license for the installation of big tourist projects is a legal requirement due to environmental uniqueness of the ecosystems present in the coastal zone. The study objective critically reflect on the construction of a basic document for obtaining the environmental permit, the Environmental Impact Report, which compiles information on the Environmental Impact Assessment, specifically 04 projects located in ecotourism destinations in the state of Ceará. This is an exploratory and descriptive study, in which the methodological procedures focused on study systematically the conceptual and document processes relevant to the object of study, with bibliographical and documentary research. There was the application of analytic techniques for analysis of documents, such as content analysis. The analysis was based on two aspects: the interdisciplinary construction of RIMAs and the tourism development targets to justify the commercialization process of the beaches and speculation. The results show that the RIMAs don´t have interdisciplinary character and use tourism as inducing activity of local development, favoring the marketing of beaches and speculation.

Limitations And Exceptions

Abstract Obesity and increased body adiposity have been alarmingly increasing over the past decades and have been linked to a rise in food intake. Many dietary restrictive approaches aiming at reducing weight have resulted in contradictory results. Additionally, some policies to reduce sugar or fat intake were not able to decrease the surge of obesity. This suggests that food intake is controlled by a physiological mechanism and that any behavioural change only leads to a short-term success. Several hypotheses have been postulated, and many of them have been rejected due to some limitations and exceptions. The present review aims at presenting a new theory behind the regulation of energy intake, therefore providing an eye-opening field for energy balance and a potential strategy for obesity management.

This descriptive study evaluates the speech disfluencies of 8 verbal children between 3 and 5 years of age with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Speech samples were collected for each child during standardized interactions. Percentage and types of disfluencies observed during speech samples are discussed. Although they did not have a clinical diagnosis of stuttering, all of the young children with ASD in this study produced disfluencies. In addition to stuttering-like disfluencies and other typical disfluencies, the children with ASD also produced atypical disfluencies, which usually are not observed in children with typically developing speech or developmental stuttering. (Yairi & Ambrose, 2005).
