MON-LB103 Hyperactivation of Reward and Cognitive Control Brain Regions in Response to Food Images in Women Compared to Men With Obesity

Background: Obesity is a major public health concern with an estimated two thirds of the population being overweight or obese. Women have a higher rate of obesity than men (40% vs. 35%), twice the rate of class 3 obesity (10% vs. 5% with BMI>40), and greater increases in obesity prevalence from 2005-2014. While emerging evidence highlights the role of food motivation circuitry in eating behavior and obesity risk, sex-specific neurobiological mechanisms have not been well defined in this population but are important to guide individual treatment strategies. Using a well-established food motivation functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) paradigm, we ran a preliminary set of analyses to investigate whether sex modulates the brain response to visual presentations of food items. We hypothesized that in a fasted state, women would demonstrate greater blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) activation in response to food images in reward-related brain regions compared to men.Methods: Twenty-nine adults with obesity (16 female, age (mean±SD): 31.2±4.9 years, and BMI=36.5±4.1 kg/m2) completed fMRI imaging in a 3T scanner while viewing images of food (high-calorie vs. low-calorie), non-food items, and fixation stimuli following a 10-hour overnight fast. Functional MRI data were analyzed using SPM12. Regions of interest included the nucleus accumbens (NAcc), amygdala, caudate, anterior insula (aINS), hypothalamus, putamen, orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC), and supplementary motor area (SMA). Statistical significance of p<0.05 is reported at the whole brain level given the small sample size.Results: Women with obesity exhibited greater activation than men in response to food (vs. non-food) stimuli in NAcc (t=2.44, p[uncorrected]=0.011), caudate (t=2.9, p[uncorrected]=0.004), DLPFC (t=3.32, p[uncorrected]=0.001), and dACC (t=3.17, p[uncorrected]=0.002) in a fasted state. There were no regions in which men exhibited greater activation than women.Conclusion: Our preliminary results show that during a fasting state, women with obesity (vs. men) show greater activation in brain regions processing reward (NAcc) and control over behavior (DLPFC, dACC) in response to food (vs. non-food) stimuli. Future studies with larger sample sizes are needed to investigate the link between the highlighted sex differences in neural responses to food in the context of obesity and eating behavior and weight to further inform whether men and women would benefit from different approaches in the treatment of obesity.

The Image of Women in Eastern and Western Epic literature: Shahnameh and Odyssey

The research examines two epics, one from the East and one from the West with regards to the question of woman and her images in early epic literature. The epics were selected from the literature. The epics were selected from the literature of two cultures, both of which, in different historical periods produced the most advanced civilizations of their time. The Persian epic, The Shahnameh (the book of Kings) was tooted in the ancient Indo-Iranian pagan as well as Zoroastrian traditions, an epic of approximately 60,000 couplets rewritten in the tenth century A. D. in the final, completed from which has reached us today. The Greek exemplar was the odyssey of Homer, epic with which Greek literature begins and widely influences not only the later periods of Greek literature but also the entire Western literature; this epic is also widely known in the East. Central to our study of The Shahnameh and Homeric epics were the themes of dynamism, the individuality of characters and their struggles in the epic world, the resourcefulness of the human mind ascribed to them, the subject of human crises, and irony, all of which are deep-seated components marking the central literary qualities of these epics. Women are indispensable in the early epics of both traditions and more often than not highly regarded by epic heroes in general and the narrators of the stories in particular. In both Eastern and Western example the structure split the female image in two opposite directions: one force is represented by exalted, praiseworthy, and positive images which also endow the women of The Shahnameh and the Homeric poems with powerful characteristics.

Persepsi Komunitas Solo Hijabers Mengenai Konstruksi Citra Perempuan dalam Kontes Kecantikan

Beauty is a social construction, no exception on how beautiful concepts are raised in a beauty contest which is aired in media. Describing the image of women is inseparable from the social construction of concept of beauty. This research is to describe the perceptions of members of the Solo Hijabers community in interpreting the construction of women's images through beauty contest shows. By using a qualitative descriptive method, data collection is mainly carried out through in-depth interviews with research subjects of Solo Hijabers community. In order to obtain the data validity, this research uses source triangulation and interactive data analysis. Results of this research explained that the meaning of Solo Hijabers on women's image was stated differently. However, the beauty image of women interpreted is basically complex—both physical and personality—so that a beauty contest cannot be used as the main standard. The media can describe a number of images of women, but in its construction, media actually presents women as objects of commodities that appear to be obscured.

A Preliminary Study on Quantitative Quality Measurements of the Urethral Rhabdosphincter Muscle by Supersonic Shear Wave Imaging in Women With Stress Urinary Incontinence.

To quantitatively assess the quality of the urethral rhabdosphincter muscle by measuring its shear wave velocity (Vs ) and calculating the Young modulus (E) with supersonic shear wave imaging (SSI). This was a prospective study of 43 women with SUI and 52 female control participants who underwent a transperineal US examination with SSI. Supersonic shear wave imaging was performed at rest with a linear transducer and a specialized-preset procedure. The stability and validity of the shear waves were automatically assessed by the SSI procedure. The SSI images were visualized in a color-coded elastographic image. In the postprocessing analysis, the ventral part of the urethral rhabdosphincter muscle was manually outlined. The mean Vs and the mean E of the muscle were measured by the SSI procedure. The relationship between the mean Vs , mean E, and SUI was evaluated. The SSI examination was successfully performed in 40 patients with SUI (93.0%) and 40 female control participants (76.9%). No significant differences between the groups in age, body mass index, and parity were identified. For the SUI and control groups, the mean Vs values were 2.54 and 2.73 m/s, respectively, and the mean E values were was 19.7 and 22.7kPa. Significant correlations were found between SUI and the mean Vs as well as the mean E (Spearman correlation coefficients, -0.41 and -0.43; P < .05). The mechanical properties of the urethral sphincter can be quantitatively assessed by SSI. The stiffness of the urethral rhabdosphincter muscle was significantly lower in women with SUI.

A case study investigation of student perceptions of women as seen in the Cambridge Latin Course in a selective girls grammar school

‘In 1986 we should no longer settle for books that present women as almost invisible entities.’(Charlayne Allan, 1986, p.6).Charlayne Allan's conclusion in her 1986 work, ‘Images of Women’ calls for a transformation in the inclusion and presentation of women in Classics educational materials. However, 33 years later, the presentation of women in educational textbooks remains a prevalent issue in many countries today with slow progress being made (BBC, 2017). The discipline of Classics has been criticised for being particularly slow in addressing the issue of gender bias in textbooks, both ensuring that there is a female voice in educational materials and also responding to female scholarship (Churchill, 2006, p.86). There has been some criticism of the popular and widely-used Cambridge Latin Course with the suggestion that ancient women are not equally or fairly represented through the characters and storylines used in the textbooks (Churchill, 2006; Upchurch, 2013). The course was first written in the 1970s and so, perhaps understandably, lacks strong female characters which might suit the engagement of students of the modern world. One solution which has been proposed by the critics mentioned above is the re-designing of the course with a more equal gender balance. However, I am unsure as to whether this is the best way forward. The re-designing of an entire textbook course (and all its online resources, etc.) is a complex undertaking, especially as the CLC has been carefully constructed around a continuous storyline. The creation of female characters, who would have a real significance to students’ learning and understanding of the Roman world, cannot simply be added into the stories without significantly changing the course (Joffe, 2019). Moreover, the way in which women are depicted in the CLC should not merely be a numerical matter. Consideration of how best to accurately present and teach students about the experiences of women in the Roman world, bearing in mind the Roman patriarchal way of thinking, could be endangered to achieve a mathematical solution for gender balance. The success of the CLC is largely down to its popular storylines and characters and so, for the purposes of my research, I will focus on the balance between the importance of an engaging storyline and at the same time, ensuring that the lives of ancient women are accurately presented through the female characters.

Images of Women and Politics of Domination in Helen Fields’ “Perfect Remains”

As feminism evolved and reshaped ideas on womanhood and its politics over the past three centuries, postmodernist writers seem to continuously present discriminated images of women in novels, including spy fiction. Unless it is properly addressed, these misrepresented images of women underlying its gender politics brings about questions on the effectiveness of gender education and its equality. This study problematized images of women in Fields’ Perfect Remains in order to understand the politics of domination between genders that suggest a continuous display of power. The analysis of the novel through the use of Fairclough’s Three-Dimensional Framework, enabled the identifying images of women and ways in which dominance is exerted in the discourse. Analysis revealed that postmodern societies through the novelist’s lens continue to remain remote towards women. In a period, which celebrates women’s achievement and freedom of speech, where they are thought to be strong and independent, men continue to ironically exert different methods of power in the strive to maintain their status quo, which is revealed in this research. This study contributes to the existing body of literature in the field of women studies and literature where it identified the presence of male dominance even in this modern era. On another hand, it also explores aspects of domination which appear in the form of intellect as a new field of study.

ЖІНОЧЕ ПИТАННЯ В ЕСТЕТИЦІ РАДЯНСЬКОГО ПЛАКАТУ 1930-Х – 1950-Х РОКІВ

The article analyzes the history of the women's issue in the USSR on the basis of systemic, semiotic, and comparative-historical approaches on the examples of Soviet posters of the 1930s and 1950s. The analyzed posters are made in different techniques, have a big difference in circulation and distribution areas, have several types of semiotic code of visual propaganda. The artistic images of women presented on the posters are considered in two dissonant discourses: ideological and everyday. The relationship between the spread of the women's movement in the USSR, legislative policy, the place of women in Soviet society and the artistic representation of the image of the "new woman" in the campaign poster is shown. The inconsistency with the real practices of the main Soviet declared social characteristics of the image of the "new woman", her self-sufficiency and independence, legal equality, the reflection of this image in the socialist poster of the era and the real evolution of the social position of women. The analysis of visual sources and their comparison helped to trace the changes in society's attitude towards the current metamorphoses that occurred with the social roles of women in Soviet society on the example of the feminization of Soviet education and the reflection of the process in pedagogical posters. Reconstruction of social relations allows us to conceptualize the cultural and archaeological process of finding visual markers that can help a deeper understanding of the role of women in the educational processes of the 1930s - 1950s. To analyze the course of development and formation of the image of the "new woman" in Soviet society and the dichotomy of views on these processes of society and the state as actors of agitation and propaganda. Deconstruction of the visual semiotic code allows to analyze the system or randomness of the feminization of education in the USSR, to reflect the process on the posters of the era, and to try to understand the attitude of society and the state to this process. Variants of aesthetic solutions were identified in the Soviet poster, which highlighted the changes in society's values regarding the "women's issue" in the USSR. The influence of agitation and propaganda of the official "party line" on the reflection of women's images in mass art and on the determination of the place of the "women's issue" in the aesthetics of socialist realism has been clarified.

Critical discourse analysis on gender relations: women's images in Sasak song

Sasak song as one form of artistic discourse is used as an instrument of male domination of women in gender relations through various forms of imaging that do not benefit women. The image is understood through the process and mechanism of work of critical discourse analysis. This study aims to reveal the image of women in the Sasak song by discovering the tendency of social construction in gender relations between men and women based on the principles of Critical Discourse Analysis. Through the position of the Sasak song text, the importance of the text, and the consequences of the text in the social reality of gender relations between men and women, found six images of women in the Sasak song text, namely women as male subordination; women as inferior, resigned women, cheap women, dependent women, and women without choice. As a text, discursive reasoning, and social reality, the results of the study show the tendency to dominate women who give birth to forms of discrimination. The six images of women in Sasak song texts are contained in works of art for the purpose of disguising the tendencies behind artistic elements, so that they are accepted as truth and reasonableness in history inherited between generations.

포스트모던한 여성 이미지와 로맨스의 갈등과 타협 - 검색어를 입력하세요 WWW를 중심으로

Television dramas construct gender discourse by reproducing in general and reproducing female images in particular, thus influencing our daily activities. In particular, television dramas assume that women form the bulk of the audience, also representing the subjects of scholars who study feminist lenses and dealing with women's lives. Recently, mass media have produced feminist images and female narratives in response to the needs of feminism. This study analyzes the narrative of the tvN romance drama, <Enter Your Search Words, WWW>. The drama raised the expectations of female audiences by establishing an active image of women and a female-centered relationship and narratives. However, the romance of the free female characters remains as a degenerative fantasy of women and solidifies the heterosexual-oriented narrative. The free women form a feminist image. The representation of women beyond gender role stereotypes is also significant. However, women's images and simple gender-mirrored romances, irrelevant to the socially structural constraints of women, lead to irony in which women are made more oppressive. This mode of marginal conflict and compromise demonstrates how popular and commercial television dramas take advantage of the postmodern female image and use existing conservative romance narratives.

The Image of Women as Reflected in Somali Proverbs: A Feminist Analysis in the Case of Shinile Zone

The general aim of the study was to investigate the portrayal of women in Somali proverbs in feminist perspective. The analysis focused on the images that are attached to women in proverbs. What positions are women given in social, cultural, and in other social affairs? How are women imaged in proverbs? What kind of patriarchal beliefs do proverbs narrated about women reflect? Having identified the potential informants through snowball and purposive sampling techniques, data was collected through unstructured interview and focus group discussion. Then, the collected data was translated from original language (Somali) into English using communicative means of translation. Based on the information gained from the informants, the proverbs were categorized into recurring themes. Selected proverbs were arranged for analysis based in their recurring themes. In the analysis and interpretations of the proverbs, attention had been given to the feminist theoretical approach and the context in which these proverbs can be created so as to show how the proverbs portray the realities of the women under study. The findings of this study illustrate that both negative and positive attitude of Ethiopian Somali people towards women. Despite this fact, the proverbs of the Ethiopian Somali (Shinile zone) are unbalanced in that women are portrayed positively and in complementary role only in a few proverbs. Most proverbs indicated that women are evil, dangerous, unfaithful or morally loose, unreliable, untrustworthy, thus, intellectually inferior. The implication is that men usually use these stereotypes as grounds to legitimize their authority over women. The proverbs further showed the senselessness of women’s thought and actions. This simply showed the society’s misconception about women. In other instances, though very few, women are represented positively and in complementary terms, these proverbs tend to serve the interests of men as they sustain or reinforce the traditional gender stereotype. For instance, representing a woman as “the boss of home because she is multi-task and able to feed her family, or as “heart of the house” because she has borne children, is not a complement but one way of attempting women to continue the good work which means men should continue to enjoy such patriarchal stereotypes as being the boss of the home who cannot consult the wife on important the relationship between husband and wife matters. Thus, Contrary to men, Women are portrayed positively only in a very few proverbs. Most proverbs indicated that women are dependent, evil, lazy and inferior in both self-esteem and intelligence. The implication is that men usually use these stereotypes as grounds to legitimize their authority over women. Some of the proverbs further showed that the senselessness of women’s thought and actions. This is simply showed the societies’ misconception about women. The finding of the study also indicated that the inferiority of women in Ethiopian Somali proverbs culture and male-female relationship in community. This study has tried to show that the proverbs of womanhood in Ethiopian Somali proverbs reveal an attempt that denigrating and disempowering woman. It seems that such negatively constructed cultural law and proverbs constantly used in the society the negative image and uncomfortable space to woman are unfortunately made permanent. Most of the Ethiopian Somali (shinlle zone) proverbs are saying depend on the behaviors of women. The societies were portrayed women as inferior of men. As reflected in the proverbs, the behaviors of women are considered as bad, unconfident, unreliable, unfaithful and so on. Hence, Women are negatively perceived by men dominated Ethiopian Somali community particularly in Shinile Zone . DOI : 10.7176/JLLL/61-01 Publication date :October 31 st 2019

308 Impact of Hereditary Cancer Screening in Diverse Practice Settings on Gastroenterolgy Volume

INTRODUCTION: According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the U.S. and the second leading cause of death from cancers in both men and women. Unfortunately, in non-GI settings such as women's imaging centers, OB/GYN or Primary Care Providers, GI-related hereditary cancer risk may go undetected because specialty providers tend to implement risk assessment programs focused on their expertise. Since gastroenterology (GI) is associated with germline mutations that can also have implications in hereditary breast and ovarian cancers (HBOC), a broader risk assessment is critical to the proper management of patients in all settings. METHODS: This retrospective study analyzes data from the hereditary cancer risk screening program that has been implemented in the following non-GI settings: Women's Wellness, OB/GYN, Breast Surgery Clinic, and Breast Imaging. By using an automated risk assessment software which flags high-risk patients based on NCCN criteria, we looked at data for the 2018 calendar year and identified the total number of patients screened in these settings. Study metrics include the number of high-risk patients identified with GI-related cancer risk, the number of patients tested, the number of pathogenic mutations found, and the overall impact to GI volume from these risk screenings. RESULTS: JOURNAL/ajgast/04.03/00000434-201910001-00308/table1/v/2023-08-15T171636Z/r/image-tiff CONCLUSION: By screening patients outside of the GI setting for hereditary cancer risk, we were able to identify that 8% of all patients screened, a significant number, need changes to their GI care management plans. Additionally, for those patients at higher risk that underwent genetic testing, 87% of those who tested positive tested for a mutation that impacts a GI-related cancer and has major impacts to GI management. This data shows that an interdisciplinary approach is needed to fully capture high-risk GI patients, and hereditary screening needs to be done in all settings in order to maximize patient care and outcomes.

Masculine Heroine; a Study on the Phenomenon of Commoduty Fethisism in the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Women are often treated as commodities which in the production process accept normalization to increase their selling value. Through her novel, Collins presented Katniss as a subject of objectification in order to create a discourse on commodity fethisism through media. The objectification also included the alteration of her image as a woman. This research was conducted with the aim of revealing how the image of a woman was constructed to display a particular ideology and how Katniss's deviation from objectification actually turned her out to be another kind of commodity fethisim object. By utilizing theoretical concepts of Marx's commodity fethisism and Butler's gender construction, this study focused on the discussion of the construction of a woman's image which was attached to the main character of the novel, Katniss Everdeen, and then objectified, and also the discourse of commodity fethisism that arised along with it. In the process of analysis, this research used descriptive analytical methods which described the objectification and commodification of Katniss as a woman as an attempt of normalization to confirm a power discourse in patriarchal capitalist society. Furthermore, the later phenomenon of commodity fethisism that was present because of its failure thus showed the collapse of the patriarchal discourse imposed on Katniss as a woman, but at the same time gave rise to other patriarchal ideologies. Keywords: commodity fethisism, women's image, objectification and normalization, gender construction.
