Association between meeting 24-hour movement behavior guidelines and quality of life in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis

BackgroundMeeting the 24-hour movement behavior (24-HMB) guideline helps enhance quality of life (QOL) of adolescents. This study aimed to assess the associations between the 24-HMB (physical activity, screen time, sleep) and QOL among adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted between September 2021 and September 2023. 24-HMB, QOL and demographic variables were collected through a self-reported questionnaire. Linear regression models and stratified analyses were used to explore statistical associations between the 24-HMB and QOL.ResultsA total of 1073 participants aged 10–18 years with a spinal Cobb angle between 10° and 40° were included. Overall, 20 participants (1.9%) met all three behavioral guidelines, and 272 participants (25.3%) met none. Compared to those who did not meet any of the guidelines, adolescents meeting both screen time and sleep duration (β = 4.10, 95% CI: 2.02–6.18, P < 0.001) and all 3 guidelines (β = 4.39, 95% CI: 0.27–8.51, P = 0.037) had higher QOL scores. Stratified analyses showed that the above associations were more pronounced in adolescents without back pain or with good self-image.ConclusionsThese findings highlight the importance of adopting and maintaining healthy behavioral habits in order to improve QOL among adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis, especially in those without back pain or with good self-image.

Teladan Misi Yesus Terhadap Kaum Marginal Menurut Injil Lukas dan Implikasinya Bagi Citra Diri Penyandang Disabilitas

The existence of people with disabilities is still not taken into account. Their role and involvement are still doubtful and often receive negative stigma from the community. This makes people with disabilities feel marginalized from the reality of social life because they are considered weak and useless. Biblically speaking, people with disabilities are the ones who have Jesus' attention. Jesus' mission is not reserved for people who are physically healthy and strong, but for people who are sick, suffering, and helpless. In other words, He is God for all people. This article aims to explain how the mission of Jesus, which transcends social boundaries, is influential in shaping a good self-image for people with disabilities and their role in the public space. The research method used is a literature study. This paper certainly aims to emphasize that Jesus' mission applies to everyone so that people with disabilities can also play a role in their limitations with their God-given talents. Keywords: the example of Jesus; the mission of Jesus; disability; self-image; marginalized people; people with disabilities

The Impact of Social Media on Self-Image Control in Adolescents and Relevant Factors

Adolescents increasingly used social media, and it was found to have a substantial impact on their self-image control. This review investigated the general impact of social media on teenage self-image, with a particular emphasis on the role of age and gender. Furthermore, the research analyzed the elements that contributed to negative self-image, which could be divided into two categories: social media and body shame, as well as a crucial cognitive aspect, notably appearance control beliefs. It also discussed the effects of the action of making social comparisons related to appearance on social media, along with the awareness of objectification of the body and the control of body image portrayed in images, which had a significant impact on how adolescents perceived themselves. It emphasized importance of the jurisdiction with people with their looking on adolescent self-image, with beliefs about appearance control influencing behavior and attitudes about body image. It has addressed cognitive issues like appearance control beliefs, which was critical in supporting positive self-image and mental health in teenagers. Finally, this review study underlined the importance of raising knowledge about the collision due to internet usage on the idea teenagers had for their looking, particularly girls. The research emphasized the necessity of addressing elements that contributed to problematic self-image, such as social media and body shame, as well as a crucial cognitive aspect, and proposed interventions that helped improve good self-image and mental health in teenagers.

Improving Self-Concept through Effective Interpersonal Communication

This research is influenced by a phenomenon that has occurred at State of Junior High School 27 Padang, namely low student interpersonal communication. Self-concept is one of the factors that influence students' interpersonal communication. This study aims to analyse the relationship between self-concept and interpersonal communication, the research method used is quantitative. This type of research is descriptive correlative. The population in this study was 364 student and the sample of this study was 190 student. The research instrument was a questionnaire raised with Likert scale measurement, the data analysed with descriptive correlation statistics with the help of SPSS version 25.00. The results show that students' self-concept is in the high category, which means that students already have a good self-image of themselves. Interpersonal communication is in the high category, indicating that students already have the ability to communicate effectively with others. There is a positive and significant increase between students' self-concept and interpersonal communication. This means that high and low interpersonal communication can be explained from self-concept, then interpersonal communication will be higher. The results of research data analysis obtained R = 0.213 with the degree of p = 0.003 (p &lt; 0.005), R2 = 0.18.3%. This study proves that there is a positive and significant increase in self-concept and interpersonal communication of junior high school student.

Citra Diri dan Tato: Fenomena Perempuan Bertato di Kota Metropolitan Jakarta

This study was intended to determine the relationship between self-image and tattooed women who live in the metropolitan city of Jakarta. The purpose of this study was to examine the meaning of symbolic communication and the self-image built by tattooed women in the metropolitan city of Jakarta. The grand theory used in this research is George Herbert Mead's theory of symbolic interaction and also the theory of self-image. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a phenomenological perspective. The interviewees were ten women with tattoos, using the snowball sampling technique. This research has succeeded in revealing several factors of women's motives with tattoos, e.g., tattoos as works of art, media for self-expression, expressions of depression, history, spirituality, and pleasure only. The conclusion of this study is that tattooed women believe that tattoos can form a positive self-image because, with tattoos, they can increase self-confidence and get to know themselves better. These tattooed women do not want a negative view of their tattoos because not all tattooed women are criminals or have deviant behavior. The implication of this research is that women with tattoos do not need to hear negative views from other people and can build a good self-image for themselves; thus, their tattoos are not underestimated by other people.

Self-Image Construction in New Media through the Instagram Application (Semiotic Analysis of @maudyayunda Instagram posts)

New media present as communication that individuals choose for social interaction in cyberspace. One of them is Instagram, which is one of the uses of new media in the form of a social media network application that functions as a place to share photos and videos with other users. Instagram makes it easy to form a person's self-image, both positive and negative images in any angle. Like Maudy Ayunda, a public figure who has a good self-image on her Instagram account. This study aims to find out how self-image can be built through Instagram account posts. This type of research is descriptive research with a qualitative approach method that uses a constructivist paradigm with Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic theory. The results of this study are self-image on the @maudyayunda Instagram account formed from components of verbal and non-verbal messages which can be seen from the description of photo uploads with dress styles and photo styles at certain moments. So from this study it can be concluded that Maudy Ayunda has a personality in building her image that is passionate about learning, intelligent, inspiring, and has a healthy lifestyle.

Representasi Dan Citra Visual Artis Hijrah Di Media Online

The use of hijab in Indonesia is now very widespread. The rise of changes in the appearance of women in Indonesia for the hijab in public spaces, also colored by the hijab of artists who used to decorate the screen and social media, changed from previous appearances that tend to be sexy and open. The term migratory artist also surfaced. Research that discusses the visual image and representation of hijab women has indeed been done a lot, but specifically about hijrah artists who are veiled that appear in online media, is not much. For this reason, this study tries to describe how the representation and visual image of migrants in online media in Indonesia. This study rests on Stuart Hall's representation theory, visual image theory, and framing analysis. Samples taken by purposive sampling decided to observe Instagram belonging to migrants: Mulan Jameela, Laudya Cyntha Bella, Cut Meyriska, and Rachel Vennya. Each sample is discussed in terms of lifestyle, endorse, gossip about the artist's personal, as well as online media that often broadcast news about him. In the context of migratory artists, changing their appearance becomes an easy target for the audience. The artists emigrated as celebrities in online media, of course they could not be separated from how the visual image of their social media each dealing with online media portal framing. No matter how hard the artist tries to display a good self-image, there will always be netizens who comment in a scathing tone, balanced with positive comments from supporters. The representation and visual image of a migratory artist must be viewed positively, although it cannot be interpreted as a spectacular awakening of religiousity, but it is still limited to financial gain.

Konstruksi Identitas dan Relasi Interpersonal oleh Roleplayer Artis K-Pop di Twitter

Indonesia is a country with the highest development of the K-Pop target market in Southeast Asia. This also raises various participatory behaviors from fans. One form of participatory behavior is roleplaying, which is playing roles on social media using a K-Pop artist's identity. As roleplayers, they will present themselves as K-Pop artists and build relationships with other roleplayers. Twitter is the social media most commonly used by roleplayers because of its features that support identity presentation and personal communication with other people. Even though they use other people's identities, roleplayers will also build various interpersonal relationships with fellow roleplayers like in the real world, from friendships to romantic relationships. This study aims to explain how K-Pop artist roleplayers construct their identity and interpersonal relationships through Twitter. This research used symbolic interactionism theory as the guide. The research method used is qualitative, with research data obtained through questionnaires with open-ended questions and analyzed thematically. From the answers of 131 respondents, K-Pop artists' identity was the object that roleplayers were trying to present. They present it by providing factual information about the artist and forming a good self-image. The way they present the K-Pop artist's identity will affect their interactions with other roleplayers, which have several determining factors, namely similarities, trust, feedback, and the parasocial relationship with the used muse. This interaction will determine the formation of interpersonal relationships, including friendship and romantic relationships. There are different types of real-world roleplayer information given between their friends and lovers.

Canadian First Nations Women Preservice Teachers' Experiences and Perceptions Regarding Technology

&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; The primary purpose of this research was to collect data for Canadian First Nations educators and policy makers to use in making decisions surrounding issues of First Nations women and technology education. Nine First Nations women preservice teachers at the intern stage of their Indian Teacher Education Program at the University of Saskatchewan were engaged in indepth interviews concerning their experiences and perceptions regarding technology.&#x0D; The study found that the participants defined technology first and foremost as computer-related. Some viewed technology from the cultural aspect, and thought technology used for financial gain would take away from traditional family values. The participants thought that women needed technology training and that they needed to develop self-confidence and become role models in order for First Nations women to exercise leadership in the field of technology.&#x0D; The participants stated that their university experience was responsible for most of their learning about technology. They did not, however, feel prepared to face the technology they would encounter in schools.&#x0D; Intimidation, stereotypes, the lack of access and exposure to technology, the lack of a good self-image, lack of time, and lack of role models were perceived to be some of the biggest barriers to First Nations women learning about and using technology. Men in their use of intimidation and stories with negative images of women and technology were perceived as one of the strongest deterrents to First Nations women advancing in the area of technology.&#x0D; Findings from this study had significant implications. First Nations teacher preparation programs should include required credit courses and establish daycare centers. Band controlled schools should update computers and make provisions for technology education by providing for such courses. Further research such as a collection of stories embracing positive images of First Nations women involved in technological pursuits should be undertaken to help ameliorate the status of First Nations women in technology.&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D;

POLA PENDEKATAN DAKWAH BERKELANJUTAN: PERSPEKTIF MODAL SOSIAL

Current model of dakwah has to deal with complexity of challenges. In tacking such complexity, relevant and contextual approaches are necessarily needed. One of them is social capital based approach. This approach highlights aspects of trust and honesty, norm and values, networking, solidarity, responsibility, local wisdom, local culture, harmony and quality of life. The use of this approach has already been able to answer the challenge of current Dakwah. From the perspective of social capital, the use of basic values from it contributes to the dai’s credibility building. This credibility results in sustainable activities of dakwah and therefore, creates more effective results. The effectiveness of sustainable dakwah emphasizes on efforts to set up good self-image for the da’i and improved relevant relational patterns with the mad’u.

Deception and self-deception.

There is ample evidence that the average person thinks he or she is more skilful, more beautiful and kinder than others1,2 and that such overconfidence may result in substantial personal and social costs3-8. To explain the prevalence of overconfidence, social scientists usually point to its affective benefits, such as those stemming from a good self-image or reduced anxiety about an uncertain future9-13. An alternative theory, first advanced by evolutionary biologist Robert Trivers14-16, posits that people self-deceive into higher confidence to more effectively persuade or deceive others. Here we conduct two experiments (combined n = 688) to test this strategic self-deception hypothesis. After performing a cognitively challenging task, half of our subjects are informed that they can earn money if, during a short face-to-face interaction, they convince others of their superior performance. We find that the privately elicited beliefs of the group that was informed of the profitable deception opportunity exhibit significantly more overconfidence than the beliefs of the control group. To test whether higher confidence ultimately pays off, we experimentally manipulate the confidence of the subjects by means of a noisy feedback signal. We find that this exogenous shift in confidence makes subjects more persuasive in subsequent face-to-face interactions. Overconfidence emerges from these results as the product of an adaptive cognitive technology with important social benefits, rather than some deficiency or bias.

Approach to the violence of ageing in women

The complexity of women's experience of ageing takes new forms in an environment which glorifies youth. Society's beliefs, demands and stereotypes, promoted by the media and advertising, serves to reinforce ageism. Before adapting to their internal reality they firstly need to adapt to their external reality. Adapting and accepting oneself means taking care of oneself, taking control of one's life and liking oneself, in order to embrace the inevitable changes and preserve a good self-image.

TRANSFORMASI IDENTITAS AKTIVIS GERAKAN ISLAM

ABSTRACT&#x0D; The aim of this paper examines the phenomenon of process and direction of identity transformations of the Tarbiah movement activists that becomes the activist of political movement. As the qualitative research, the data is achieved by in-depth interview and participatory observation. Fourteen politicians from Tarbiah activists have become the informant for this research. The result shows that identity transformation has been experienced by Tarbiah movement activists. The identity transformation progressively persisted through; open-minded thoughts, enthusiastic effort to the value of universal truth, developing ideological awareness, and become the agent of change. Becoming the political activist has brought them to the positive contemplation through three stages, namely ruhiyyah, fikriah, and amaliah contemplation. There are also positive and progressive changes in the communication with the non-activists. After becoming the parliament member, verbal symbol becomes more flexible and realistic in term of the approach of problem solving. Being a politician has grown the transcendental awareness that this position is a fate, trusteeship, and temptation. In developing a good self-image Tarbiyah activists apply two strategies: Firstly, impression management by using and discarding personal front. Secondly, collaborative teamwork for image management. Those two management strategies are conducted in front of the non-activist apart from their community. &#x0D; &#x0D; Keywords: identity transformation, communication construction, and phenomenology

Motivated Belief Updating of Norms: Theory and Experimental Evidence

How people process information about others' moral behavior has important implications for understanding the respective peer effects and the effect of social nudges. In this paper, I investigate this updating process of norm beliefs regarding choices when facing monetary-morality tradeoff. In a simple theoretical model, neutral third parties are assumed to update their beliefs about the group norm according to Bayes' rule. If the individual involves in the choice, she then has both ex ante and ex post incentives to ignore others' moral actions and exaggerate others' self-interested actions to maintain a good self-image and justify her own egoistic behavior, if any. Experimental results from a controlled laboratory experiment with both a bystander and a player treatment confirm the theoretical prediction that players have more cynical posterior norm beliefs than bystanders, but the self-serving bias only takes the form of under-updating not over-updating. Besides the norm-related self-deception of players as captured in the theoretical model, who under-update signals of others' honest behavior, both bystander and players also under-update signals of others' lying behavior, implying that a preference for more honest social or group norms probably adds to the motivated reasoning.

Baseline mental status predicts happy patients after operative or non-operative treatment of adult spinal deformity

The study is a retrospective review of a multi-institutional database, aiming to determine predictors of non-depressed, satisfied adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients with good self-image at 2-year follow-up (2Y). ASD significantly impacts a patients' psychological status. Following treatment, little is known about predictors of satisfied patients with high self-image and mental status. Inclusion: primary ASD pts >18 y/o with complete 2Y follow-up. Non-depressed [Short Form 36-mental component score (SF36-MCS) >42], satisfied patients (SRS22-satisfaction >3) with good self-image (SR22-self-image >3) at 2Y were isolated (happy). Happy and control patients were propensity-matched by baseline and 2Y leg pain, Charlson, frailty, and radiographic measures for the operative (OP) and non-operative cohorts (NOP). Health related quality of life (HRQL), surgical and radiographic metrics were compared. Regression models identified predictors of happy patients. Thresholds were calculated using area under the curve (AUC) and 95%CI. Of 480 patients, 94 OP (happy: 47 vs. control: 47) and 92 NOP (46 each) reached inclusion. At baseline, groups had similar age, gender, Oswestry disability index (ODI) (OP: 39.13 vs. 37.49, NOP: 17.70 vs. 19.74) and SF36-physical component score (PCS) (OP: 33.51 vs. 35.04, NOP: 47.93 vs. 44.72). Despite similar (P>0.05) surgeries, length of stay (LOS), and radiographic outcomes between OP happy and control groups, happy had less peri-operative complications (31.9% vs. 57.4%, P=0.13), better 2Y ODI (17.77 vs. 29.98), SRS22 component, total, and SF36 scores (P<0.05). NOP happy patients also exhibited better 2Y ODI (13.24 vs. 22.09), SRS22 component, total, and SF36 scores (P<0.05). Baseline SRS-mental (OR: 2.199, AUC: 0.617, cutoff: 2.5) and ODI improvement (OR: 1.055, AUC: 0.717, cutoff: >12) predicted happy OP patients, while baseline SRS-self-image (OR: 5.195, AUC: 0.740, cutoff: 3.5) and ODI improvement (OR: 1.087, AUC: 0.683, cutoff: >9) predicted happy NOP patients. Baseline mental-status, self-image and ODI improvement significantly impact long-term happiness in ASD patients. Despite equivalent management and alignment outcomes, operative and non-operative happy patients had better 2Y disability scores. Management strategies aimed at improving baseline mental-status, perception-of-deformity, and maximizing ODI may optimize treatment outcomes.

Defaults and dishonesty – Evidence from a representative sample in the lab

Unethical behavior is a massive societal problem that occurs in almost all aspects of our everyday lives. A prominent theory in behavioral economics is that the decision about whether to behave dishonestly involves a balance between securing greater gains, on the one hand, and maintaining a good self-image, on the other. In the present study, I explore whether simple manipulation of default behavior can influence this balance. In a laboratory experiment using a sample of the general population, the impact of default answers on dishonesty is studied. In a task of reporting the outcome of die rolls in private, I randomly impose default answers. The defaults are either high and favorable, low and unfavorable, the expected mean of the die rolls, or an empty condition with no default. I find that the high default answers are effective at increasing reporting, whereas the low defaults do not result in a corresponding reduction, compared to no default or the expected mean as the default answer. As a reference group, the experiment is repeated among a student sample with the results revealing that students react differently to the defaults. In particular, students did not increase their answers with high defaults, but including the mean as a default answer resulted in a significantly higher degree of cheating.

La normatividad de los comportamientos de ciudadanía organizacional

It is generally observed that employees adopting Organizational Citizenship Behaviors (OCBs) are valorized by their superiors. Given that such valorization is one of the main criteria to define a social norm, we hypothesized that these behaviors could also meet the other normative criteria and could be defined as being social norms. Four populations (a population of managers and three populations of subordinates) responded to an organizational citizenship questionnaire, each group faced with one of the paradigms highlighting the existence of a norm. The ma­nagers were asked to indicate, facing each item, if they would appreciate an employee adopting the presented behavior (legislator’s paradigm, designed to verify the valorization of the adopted behaviors); the subordinates were asked to check each item according to the self-presentation paradigm in a neutral, over-normative or counter-normative way (the three orders of this paradigm allowing to examine, on the one hand, the adoption of the citizenship behaviors, adoption which refers to the descriptive aspect of the norms, on the other hand the awareness of their valorization).The results confirm our hypothesis: managers significantly appreciate CCOs; the adoption of CCOs is effective in subordinates; there are more positive answers when participants have to provide good self-image and more negative ones in the opposite case. These data will be discussed under a conceptual and an applied angle.

Using SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) to Examine the Effects of the Body's Image on what Women Like and Choose in Clothing

For women the body is an important concept in clothing aesthetics. Body image is an important factor influencing what women like in clothing and what they choose to wear.In this study, which has been prepared with the aim of stressing the importance of the relationship between "Clothing Preference" and "Body Image", women's ability to minimize the difference between their ideal appearance and their actual appearance, as well as their ability to possess a good self-image and powerful self-confidence, have been studied.Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used in this study. The sample is 150 women aged 18-50 within the Konya Province in Turkey limits. The research concluded that while there was a relationship between the visual and verbal clothing choices for the women in the sample group, there was less of a match among their visual choices.

Tunable array beam splitter with different domain-etching depth based on MgO-doped lithium niobate crystal

The Talbot effect is a self-imaging phenomenon of near-field diffraction. When a plane wave is incident on a periodic diffraction grating, the image of the grating is repeated at regular distances away from the grating plane. A Talbot array illuminator is a device that splits singular light beam into an array of beams with periodical optical intensity based on Talbot effect. LiNbO3 (LN) crystal is a kind of practicable material for a Talbot array illuminator due to its perfect optical characteristics. MgO-doped LiNbO3 (MgLN) crystal shows shorter absorption edge wavelength and higher resistance to photorefractive damage than LN. Up to now, the usefulness and simplicity of Talbot effect have still aroused the interest of many scholars.In the conventional method, a Talbot array illuminator is fabricated by using high external electric field to modulate the phase difference. However, essentially, high external electric field restricts the Talbot array illuminator to applications in optical integration and optical micro structure devices. Now we are looking forward to a new way which avoids using high external electric field.In this paper, we systematically study the two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal tunable array beam splitter, which is fabricated by domain-etching in MgLN crystal, and its fractional Talbot effect. The self-imaging phenomenon caused by Talbot effect in the Fresnel field for this phase array coherently illuminated is theoretically analyzed according to Fresnel diffraction theory. We numerically simulate the light intensity distributions of Talbot diffraction image under different values of Talbot coefficient and different values of domain-etching depth. The simulation results show that can change the array period and the structure distribution of the fractional Talbot diffraction image, and the domain-etching depth can modulate the light intensity distribution of diffraction image. Based on the numerical simulation results, the 2D hexagonal array beam splitters are fabricated with different values of domain-etching depth. The fractional Talbot diffraction images of array splitters are obtained at different values of through the optical experiments. The results show that domain-etching depth can effectively modulate the intensity distribution of diffraction image, becoming a tunable array beam splitter successfully. The experimental results agree well with the simulation results. The theoretical and experimental results show that the optimal self-image visibility can be obtained at a Talbot coefficient of 0.5 and a domain-etching depth of 0.39 m, while the duty cycle is 52%. Moreover, a good self-image pattern is also observed under thinner domain-etching depth, which is beneficial to optical integration and micro optical devices.
