The study investigated facial attribution bias. Instead of asking participants to attribute character to faces, as usually done, we did the opposite: Participants were asked to generate the faces of specified characters, namely an aggressive/dominant male or the opposite (peaceful-submissive male). Participants used three methods: They generated free drawings, selected features from an assembly-kit, or edited facial photographs using PC software. We investigated facial width-to-height ratio in these generated portraits. We found that participants did not model static facial width to express character; instead they modelled expressed emotions, anger in particular. This reduced facial height, thereby increasing fWHR.

Introduction: Maxillary anteriors are the major teeth displayed during the smile and have a dominant role in the dentofacial appearance. As the dimensions of incisors vary with various facial dimensions, this study aimed to find out the ratio of width to height of the maxillary central incisor and correlate it with the lower anterior facial height.Materials and methods: One hundred participants (50 male and 50 female) were enrolled in this study. The width-height ratio of maxillary central incisor was calculated by measurements made in the photographs with Image J software. Lower anterior facial height was measured as the distance between subnasale and lower border of the chin with the help of digital vernier caliper. Correlation between width-height ratio and lower anterior facial height was done with Pearson’s correlation.Results: The width height ratio of maxillary central incisor was found to be 0.86 for male and 0.89 for female. This ratio was statistically insignificant when compared between gender and sides. There was negligible correlation between this ratio and lower anterior facial height.Conclusion: Mean Width-height ratio of maxillary central incisor obtained from this study would serve as a guide in esthetic enhancement of the maxillary anterior dentition.

Zusammenfassung. Das „Expressed-Emotions-Konzept“ kann Psychiatrie-Erfahrenen, Angehörigen oder auch professionell Pflegenden eine Grundlage bieten, sich mit den Auswirkungen von Emotionen auseinanderzusetzen. Diese spezifischen theoretischen Grundlagen können sowohl die Gestaltung eines förderlichen Milieus, als auch die Unterstützung von Angehörigen und Betroffenen sowie den gefühlsmäßigen Umgangsformen maßgeblich beeinflussen. Die Grundgedanken beziehen sich im Ursprung auf den Umgang von Angehörigen mit einem Familienmitglied, das an einer Schizophrenie erkrankt ist, aber auch auf Menschen mit bipolaren und affektiven Störungen. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass es grundsätzlich im zwischenmenschlichen Miteinander nützlich sein kann.

Background: Now a days unhealthy lifestyle primarily responsible for the dramatic increase obesity among children and adolescents. Objective: The purpose of the study is to see the effects of a multidisciplinary lifestyle intervention to reduce obese children and adolescents. The main outcome was cardiometabolic risk based on the waist-to-height ratio (WHTR) measurement. Secondary outcomes were (1) changes in body composition; (2) adherence to a Mediterranean diet; and (3) physical performance. Methods: The study involved 64 overweight/obese children or adolescents conducted at Dhaka Shishu Hospital from October 2017 to September 2018. The intervention was multidisciplinary including nutrition, exercise, and psychological aspects based on a family-based approach; it was delivered for six months for children and three months for adolescents. Before and after the intervention, several anthropometric measures height, body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and body composition, cardiometabolic risk index waist-to-height ratio (WHTR), and dietary habits of the participants and their families were evaluated. In addition, a set of functional motor fitness tests was performed to evaluate physical performance measures. Results: After the intervention both children and adolescents showed a significant reduction in body weight, BMI, waist circumference, fat mass, and WHTR index and an improvement of fat-free mass, adherence to the Mediterranean diet, and physical fitness performance. Conclusion: A short term family-based multidisciplinary approach is effective in ameliorating the health status, dietary habits, and physical performance in children and adolescents.

This article aims to offer a textual analysis of Rahima and Fahmina’s publications. Rahima and Fahmina are two Non-Government Organizations founded in 2000 by a young generation of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), one of the largest moderate Muslim organizations in Indonesia. There are more similarities than differences between Rahima and Fahmina because the persons involved in the organizations are close friends and, in fact, the same persons even though both are based in two different cities. Since their foundation, both Rahima and Fahmina have published many books and magazines. This article argues that both Rahima dan Fahmina publications offer a new grounded feminist approach to Islam, which counterbalance the dominant male-biased normative approach to Islam in most Muslim societies. These publications are based on their feminist activism and community engagement with the grass-root level of many Nahdlatul Ulama pesantrens (Islamic boarding schools). The topics of their publication cover many current issues such as fiqh of women’s reproductive rights and empowerment, fiqh of the daily life of migrant workers, fiqh of anti-trafficking, prevention of child marriage, violent extremism and religious pluralism. As a result, the progressive nature of their publications negates the existing label of NU as the traditionalist organization.
