Pelvic Floor Mobility measured by Transperineal Ultrasound Imaging in Women with and without Urgency and Frequency Predominant Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms.

Women with urgency/frequency predominant lower urinary tract symptoms (UF-LUTS) may have elevated pelvic floor muscle (PFM) position at rest and limited mobility with PFM contraction and bearing down, but this has not been quantified. To compare PFM position and mobility using transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) at rest, maximal PFM contraction (perineal elevation), and bearing down (perineal descent) in women with and without UF-LUTS. We hypothesized that women with UF-LUTS would demonstrate elevated resting position and decreased excursion of pelvic landmarks during contraction and bearing down as compared to women without UF-LUTS. Case-control study. Women with UF-LUTS were matched 1:1 on age, body mass index and vaginal parity to women without UF-LUTS. TPUS videos were obtained during 3 conditions: rest, PFM contraction, and bearing down. Levator plate angle (LPA) and puborectalis length (PR length), were measured for each condition. Paired t-tests or Wilcoxon signed rank tests compared LPA and PR length between cases and controls. 21 case-control pairs (42 women): Women with UF-LUTS demonstrated greater LPA at rest (66.8 ± 13.2 degrees vs 54.9 ± 9.8 degrees; P=0.006), and less PR lengthening from rest to bearing down (0.2 ± 3.1 mm vs 2.1 ± 2.9 mm; P=.03). Women with UF-LUTS demonstrated more elevated (cranioventral) position of the PFM at rest and less PR muscle lengthening with bearing down. These findings highlight the importance of a comprehensive PFM examination and possible treatment for women with UF-LUTS to include PFM position and mobility.

Meanwhile, socially, the victim gets a negative image and stigma in the form of reproach (cheap and immoral women) from the circle of friends and the environment where the victim lives, regardless of the perpetrator as the main actor in the revenge porn case.

Women’s Image as Presented in Vitamin Drink’s Commercials: Semiotics Analysis on YOU C-1000 and Hemaviton C1000

Several studies have identified women's image in beverage advertisements, but there has been not much research into the women’s image presented in vitamin drink commercials along with their slogans. This study focuses on an analysis of verbal and non-verbal signs of 2 vitamin drink commercials, namely YOU C1000 and Hemaviton C1000, from YouTube. Qualitative content analysis based on Peirce’s (1940) semiotics theory was used to analyse the verbal and non-verbal signs presented in the commercials, while the image of women proposed by Hung & Li (2006) was used to identify women’s image in the commercials. The findings suggest that in general, the commercials have tried to break the common traditional stereotypes of women’s image, even though some parts were still a bit stereotypical. The most common women’s image shown in the video is ‘a strong woman’. Moreover, the slogans of YOU C1000 and Hemaviton C1000 are trying to show that women can also do outdoor activities. The finding indicates that there is an attempt to change the way of presenting women in today’s advertisements.

Witches and vampires, who lack femininity, expressed feminism not in the image of women obedient to patriarchal men, but rather in horror.

The public image of women in post-Taliban Afghanistan

The present article is an attempt to offer the concept of political development from a novel perspective and perceive the Afghan Women image in accordance with the aforementioned viewpoint. To do so, first many efforts have been made to elucidate the author’s outlook as it contrasts with the classic stance of the concept of power and political development by reviewing the literature in development and particularly political development during the previous decades. For example Post-World War II approaches to political development which consider political development, from the Hobbesian perspective toward power, as one of the functions of government. However in a different view of power, political development found another place when it has been understood via postmodern approaches, it means power in a network of relationships, not limited to the one-way relationship between ruler and obedient. Therefore newer concept and forces find their way on political development likewise “image” as a considerable social, political and cultural concept and women as the new force. Then, the meaning of “image” as a symbolic one portraying the common universal aspect is explained. The Afghan woman image emphasizing the historic period of 2001 till now is scrutinized both formally and informally and finally the relationship between this reproduced image of Afghan women and Afghanistan political development from a novel perspective of understanding is represented.

Profile of Articles Published in AJR From 2014 to 2018 and Potential Association With Bibliometric Parameters.

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to assess the profile of articles published in the American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR) and potential associations with bibliometric indexes over a 5-year period. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Citable documents published from 2014 to 2018 were retrieved from the Journal Citation Reports database. Six bibliometric indexes were assessed. The following article parameters were retrieved: type, subspecialty (17 topics covered by AJR), origin, and title. Differences between groups were assessed by t test, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test, or chi-square test. Citability was assessed by regression analysis. RESULTS. After exclusions, 2210 articles were considered citable and included in the analyses. Most of the metrics improved slightly, except for the Eigenfactor score and article influence score, which decreased. Original articles were preponderant; AJR published significantly more review articles than did three other general radiology journals. The mean number of citations per year of original articles (2.03 ± 2.18) was significantly larger than that of review articles (2.06 ± 2.47) (p = .02). The mean number of citations per year was significantly higher for articles with mixed-origin authorship (3.12 ± 3.19) than for articles with American (2.02 ± 2.17) or non-American (1.93 ± 2.26) authors only (p < .001). The distributions of mean number of citations per year among subspecialties differed significantly (p = .001). Articles on abdominal, musculoskeletal, pediatric, and women's imaging were more frequently cited. Multivariate regression analysis showed that subspecialty and presence of acronyms or initialisms in the title were the only independent predictors of citability (both, p = .001). CONCLUSION. The main AJR bibliometric indexes increased slightly from 2014 to 2018, except for those from the Eigenfactor Project. The presence of acronyms or initialisms in the title and subspecialty were the only independent predictors of citability.

The politics of the representation of Christian women characters in select Hindi films

ABSTRACT This research will attempt to understand the politics of the representation of Christian women characters in Hindi films, Julie, and Bobby from a postcolonial feminist lens. This paper studies the portrayal of Christian women characters as ‘westernized’ and ‘common’ in Hindi films. To prove this argument, a postcolonial feminist approach with the theories of Partha Chatterjee’s idea of the role of nationalism in the representation of the ‘westernized’ and ‘common’ women; Gopal Guru’s argument of the exclusion of the minorities from the mainstream imagination of the nation, and Diana Dimitrova’s discourse of ‘Otherism’ will be used. This research implies that the minority Christian women characters as the lead heroines in Hindi films are typecasted into the roles of immoral, sexually alluring, and unchaste woman who through her association with the Hindu hero poses a threat to the purity of Hindu dharma and hence the majoritarian idea of ‘Indianness’.
