Throughout in the history, women have been made significant contribution towards the growth, development and sustainability of human society as a whole. Women constitute almost half of the population in the world. However, their enjoyment of rights equally with that of men is far from satisfactory. In every society from ancient to modern times, women are considered as the property of men to serve their interest in both society and domestic front. The position of women always plays a significant role in the growth and development of any society in the world. Assam is a land of numerous tribes having different ethnic and linguistic background since the time immemorial. Among them, the Bodo/Boro are numerically and sociologically one of the most important aboriginal tribes in Assam. Role of Bodo women were confined to her being a wife and a mother as has been depicted in the inscriptions. Yet the historiography on that period confined the study the Status of Bodo women in her society in a various concern areas. The paper is made a humble attempt to highlight the importance of the status of Bodo women or their normal position in the field of socio-cultural, economic, and religious perceptions in the society in the colonial period.

Dress and culture is play very important role in Bodo society. From the primitive age to modern, the traditional dresses and ornaments have played a very important role in molding the socio-cultural life of the Bodos. They have their own culture, tradition, belief and customs, etc. The women still wear their traditional dress like- Dokhna, Gamacha, Jwmgra Phali, Sadri and Aronai. The Bodo people weave traditional hand woven dresses such as Dokhna, Sadri, Gamsa and Aronai. The Bodo women are bestowed with expertise in weaving their own traditional dresses. The Bodo women wear Dokhna and Sadri, while men wear Gamsa and Aronai.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to examine the philosophical perspective of the Bodo shirt as one of the traditional clothes of South Sulawesi, which will be applied in the regulations for the use of traditional clothes in schools in Makassar City. This is based on the Minister of Education and Culture Regulation Number 50 of 2022 concerning School Uniforms for Students at the Elementary and Secondary Education Levels. This study used a qualitative approach with an ethnomethodological research design. Data analysis used indexicality analysis and reflexivity analysis. This analysis is intended to provide an overview of group agreement regarding the use of Baju Bodo in elementary school policies as one of the local cultural assets as well as the implementation of ethno-policies for cultural literacy. Determination of informants was carried out by means of purposive sampling, namely researchers who determine the informants themselves to be interviewed based on representative considerations. The informants in this study included teachers, school principals, and community leaders who knew about the philosophy of the Baju Bodo and the color schemes used in the use of Baju Bodo for the Bugis people of South Sulawesi. The results of the study show that in a philosophical study the structure of the baju bodo represents the characteristics of Bugis-Makassar women in general. The distribution of colors in Baju Bodo is divided into two types, the first is in everyday life, such as children under the age of 10 wearing Baju Bodo which are usually called Waju Pella-Pella, this shirt is Ivory Yellow. This shirt is called waju pella-pella or butterfly because it depicts the world of small children who are full of joy. The yellow color of ivory is an analogy for the child to mature quickly and be ready to face life's challenges. Derived from the word maridi (ivory yellow) which means ripe.

Full textAbstract:
Land rights to women is one of the significant markers of a gender-just society. It is a basic human right that provides welfare, economic and social security, strong bargaining power and various other benefits. Ownership right over land is also critical to the citizens in terms of exercising and availing rights guaranteed by the state. Based on a narrative from the fieldwork done among the Bodos in Assam, this paper explores the significance of land rights in accessing various rights and welfare programmes and how women are affected in this regard due to lack of land rights. It discusses how a woman’s lack of rights over land can lead to a status of homelessness and place her in a socially and economically precarious position. The landlessness or homelessness status restricts her from accessing various benefits provided by the state. In this context, the paper also looks into the social construction of gendered norms on land rights of the Bodo community. Construction of societal norms on individual’s rights over landed property, inheritance are generally determined by kinship and affinal ideologies of a community. Such norms are often gendered that deny rights to women over this material resource. The most affected are the single, widow and separated women who have no support from the families. Communities having patriarchal ideologies consider women as passive, dependent and secondary subject and accordingly, gendered norms are constructed. Even the state apparatuses, which is often male-dominated, locate woman within the realm of the family and design policies for women as ‘beneficiaries’ and ‘dependents.’ The gendered norms on land rights of a community have a broader impact that goes beyond the community level and enmeshed with the affairs of the state.

Full textAbstract:
Women entrepreneurship is gaining importance all over the world for addressing the development issues of women. Since the inception of the five-year plans, the Government of India has been giving attention towards mitigating the development issues of women such as labour force participation, empowerment, education and gender inequality. Women-owned micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are contributing significantly towards the economic development of the nation through employment and income generation, poverty eradication, and by bringing entrepreneurial diversity in the economic activities. The handloom industry offers an appropriate setting to analyse the significance of the rural women-owned micro-enterprises towards local economic development. With archaic hand-operated looms, the production mechanism takes place mostly in the rural areas. The present article analyses the factors that affect tribal women to own a handloom micro-enterprise. It is based on primary data collected at firm level from two major tribes in Assam, namely Bodo and Mising. The data were collected from five different districts in Assam where tribal communities are operating handloom businesses. Within the framework of random utility model of economic choice, the findings of the probit model show that age, knowing other handloom micro-entrepreneurs, past history of family business, access to borrowing and risk-taking behaviour have significant and positive influences on the decision of a woman in becoming a handloom micro-entrepreneur. The study suggests for an all-inclusive policy approach for the overall development of handloom industry in the tribal areas.

Full textAbstract:
The issue of Bangladeshi illegal migration has troubled the state of Assam for decades. The lack of authentic data on illegal migrant flows only adds to the discomfort. The illegal Bangladeshi migrants issue tends to dominate the political, economic and social discourses in Assam. The lack of data on migration adds to a sense of being „under siege‟ by outsiders as no one is sure as to the number of migrants visibly infiltrating all walks of life in Assam. The recent disturbances in Kokrajhar and Dhubri districts of Assam have once again brought the issue of ethnic clash between Muslim and Bodo communities. There is no evidence to suggest that the latest violence is a direct consequence of illegal immigration. The clash between Muslims and Bodos is often misinterpreted as a clash between illegal Bangladeshis and indigenous people. This clash is due to the political and communal conspiracy created by some fundamentalists and political leaders to gain their political mileage. As a consequence, a large number of innocent men, women and children lost their lives. This has certainly pushed back the development issues of the state and destroyed the fraternity between the two communities. This paper will try to examine that the recent clashes in Kokrajhar and Dhubri districts are not due to the problem of migration but the fears of losing land and identities connected with land.

Full textAbstract:
Adolescence is a time of self-identification and self-development. The view of oneself that had developed in childhood strengthened in adolescence. This is in line with increasing age and life experience based on the facts experienced. All that makes teenagers can judge themselves good, and also vice versa, less good. Teenagers tend to look at the social media profiles of other teenagers and make comparisons with themselves. This comparison will unconsciously form an ideal self-concept whose standards are getting higher and further away from the self-concept possessed by adolescents today. Teenagers who get negative feedback from social media will find it difficult to accept themselves. There is always an assumption that other people around him will look negatively towards him. The question in this study is "What is the representation of the self-concept of young women readers of the book The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck?". The results based on this study explain that self-concept in adolescent girls after reading The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ckis represented as a person who needs to direct himself towards self-help and self-love by realizing how good or bad the situation is owned and how obliged to behave against the situation. The representation of self-help and self-love in the self-concept of the reader is depicted using trying not to think about the affairs of others and focus more on oneself, controlling oneself, accepting and trying to solve cases of life in a cruel global world, and knowing what important are priorities.Usia remaja merupakan tahap pengembangan diri. Pengetahuan tentang diri sendiri yang telah berkembang pada masa anak-anak makin menguat pada masa remaja. Hal ini berbarengan dengan bertambahnya usia dan pengalaman atas dasar kehidupan yang dialami. Semua itu menciptakan remaja yang mampu menilai dirinya sendiri baik, dan juga sebaliknya, kurang baik. Remaja cenderung akan melihat profil remaja lain dan melakukan perbandingan menggunakan dirinya. Perbandingan ini secara tidak sadar akan membangun konsep diri ideal yang standarnya semakin tinggi dan semakin jauh menurut konsep diri yang dimiliki oleh remaja saat ini. Remaja yang mendapatkan reaksi negatif akan sulit mendapat dirinya sendiri. Muncul anggapan bahwa orang lain disekitarnya akan memandang negatif terhadap dirinya. Pertanyaan dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimana representasi konsep diri remaja perempuan pembaca buku perbaikan diri “Sebuah Seni Untuk Bersikap Bodo Amat”? Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa konsep diri pada remaja perempuan setelah membaca buku “Sebuah Seni Untuk Bersikap Bodo Amat” direpresentasikan menjadi suatu pribadi yang perlu mengarahkan dirinya menuju self-help dan self-lovedengan mengetahui seberapa baik atau tidak baik keadaan yang dimiliki dan bagaimana wajib bersikap terhadap keadaan tersebut. Representasi self-help danself-lovepada konsep diri pembacanya digambarkan dengan berusaha untuk tidak memikirkan urusan orang lain dan lebih fokus pada diri sendiri, mengontrol diri, menerima dan berusaha memecahkan kasus hidup di dunia yang kejam, dan mengetahui apa yang penting sebagai prioritas.

Full textAbstract:
In this present time, women are still oppressed and considered as the inferior class to men. One of the literary works containing the evidence is The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler. The monologues inside it share the experiences of various women who have been physically, mentally, and sexually terrorized. From those experiences of the women in the monologues, this study tries to identify the sexual terrorism that is experienced by each woman in each monologue, and at the same time, tries to examine the resistance of the women towards the sexual terrorism.Men use sexual terrorism as a tool to control womens autonomy over their own body, sexuality, and reproduction. It occurs to any woman in any situation. Sexual terrorism is there to keep women in the subordinate position. The awareness of the women towards the sexual terrorism triggers their resistance towards it. Each woman experiences different situation of sexual terrorism, therefore their ways of resisting the terror are also varied. Feminism approach is used in this study in order to see the accurate analysis of the condition of the woman in each monologue.Keywords: sexual terrorism, women, resistance

Full textAbstract:
FQ columnist Rebecca Wanzo never expected to see Hollywood produce a film like The Woman King (Gina Prince-Bythewood, 2022), an action film led by a dark-skinned Black woman in her fifties, starring other Black women, and focused on the intimacy between them. In this column, Wanzo explores The Woman King’s radical depiction of real Black women’s bodies experiencing the erotic as power—an idea borrowed from the Black feminist lesbian poet Audre Lorde—in a Hollywood action film. In its difference, The Woman King highlights the ironic lack of embodiment and limited sensory palate offered by so many action films and reimagines the genre’s possibilities for cinematic pleasure.

Full textAbstract:
In the time of modern writing, women writers are increasingly free in raising the theme of their writing. Women are no longer reluctant to write things related to a woman’s body and it’s issue. This research aims to analyze the body of women and woman’s rights as portrayed in Rupi Kaur’s milk and honey (2014). This research belongs to library research that applied descriptive qualitative method with gynocriticism approach. Reading and selecting data techniques were used to collect the data. 28 poems raise the theme of the body of a woman and its issue used as the data in this research. To analyze the body of woman and woman’s rights in milk and honey, gynocriticism theory by Ellaine Showalter were used. The result of the analysis shows that: 1) Woman’s body is described into three aspects, that is objectification of the body, owner of the body, and strength of the body. 2) There are three ways for a woman to embrace their rights. First, a woman is asked to be able to accept and acknowledge herself as she is. Second, a woman is expected to love and consider herself precious and equal to a man. Third, women must be able to help and to support other women in fighting for their rights.

Full textAbstract:
Scriptures are often used to make patriarchal control sacrosanct over women’s bodies. A stereotypical monogamous woman is generally idealised by patriarchy; Polyandrous Draupadī in the Mahābhārata, however, stands sharply in contrast and the epic struggles to legitimise it by different myths to soothe the moral discomfort. Principal women characters of the epic like Draupadī, Kuntī and Satyavatī having more than one man in their life suggest that during the early stages of development of the epic, the values that governed man–women relations were not as rigid as they became later. During the growth of the epic, the lives of these women characters were transformed according to patriarchal perception, which expects that a woman should be a virgin when a man marries her. As a way out, the epic repeatedly restores the virginity of these women characters. As men are considered as owners/protectors of womens’ bodies/sexuality, the restoration seems to have restored the sense of honour and also redeemed the transgressions of men who ‘soiled’ them. Obsession with virginity also indicates the attitude of the commodification of the woman’s body. These women characters are portrayed as passive, whose lives and bodies are manipulated according to men’s perception.

Full textAbstract:
This paper covers various aspects of the contemporary issues faced by the midwifery profession in America with a focus on gendered issues of midwives and their clients. My analysis begins by considering the historically embedded practice of North American midwifery. The shift from birthing and maternity as a women’s domain to the territory of the newly trained male medical practitioner is outlined. I then undertake an examination of how midwifery is perceived today, including what footing it has gained and lost since the nineteenth century, and how the proliferation of consumerism has impacted midwifery practice. The overarching theme of the piece is to demonstrate how midwifery has functioned historically and in the present as a means of empowering women and allowing them to retain control over their bodies through pregnancy and the birthing process. This approach is in competition with the dominant biomedical model, which portrays the (male) medical practitioner as an all-knowing presence and the woman as a machine to be handled. The core question considered is how North American midwifery has changed over time and how issues of gendered work and patriarchal domination in medicine have influenced these changes. Methodologically, this paper considers how various scholars conceptualized midwifery and the issue of the medicalization of women’s bodies present within the dominant biomedical model. The desire for control, which is experienced by many women, is conceptualized as partially stemming from the negative experiences some women have encountered within obstetrics, and with male medical professionals specifically. I conclude with a discussion of how due to various factors, such as consumerism and neoliberal ideologies, midwifery is located within discourses regarding choice and women’s reclamation of control over their bodies.

Full textAbstract:
Although women engage in both physical and nonphysical aggression, little is known about how aggression type influences perceptions of their morphology, personality, and social behavior. Evolutionary theory predicts that women avoid physical aggression due to risk of injury, which could compromise reproductive success. Engaging in physical aggression might therefore decrease women’s perceived mate value. However, physical aggression could be advantageous for some women, such as those who are larger in size and less vulnerable to injury. This presents the possibility that physically aggressive women might be perceived as larger and not necessarily lower in mate value. These hypotheses have not been tested. Across three studies, I used narratives to test the effect of aggression type (physical, verbal, indirect, nonaggressive) on perceptions of women’s height, weight, masculinity, attractiveness, and social status. In Studies 1 and 2, participants perceived a physically aggressive woman to be both larger and more masculine than nonphysically aggressive women. In Study 3, participants perceived both a physically aggressive woman and a nonaggressive woman to be larger than an indirectly aggressive woman; the effect of aggression type on perceptions of a hypothetical man’s height was not significant. I also found some evidence that aggression type influenced perceptions of attractiveness and social status, but these were small and inconsistent effects that warrant further study. Taken together, the results suggest that physical and indirect aggressive behavior may be associated with certain morphological and behavioral profiles in women.

Full textAbstract:
In a partriarchal society the what and the how of women and her body, is largely decided upon by males rather than by women themselves. Not infrequently a woman’s body is used to depict something negative, which not only results in no respect for a woman’s body, but can lead to violence against her. The Book of Hosea is a book that uses the woman and her body as a metaphor of the relationship between God and the people of Israel, where the woman and her body are depicted negatively. This article criticises the use of the woman and her body in the relationship between God and God’s people, and its impact on the husband-wife relationship.

Full textAbstract:
Since ancient times, each era has had its own unique standard of beauty. The standards of beauty in modern society are very different from those in ancient times. In modern society, thin is beautiful, and women wear clothes to highlight their figures. This may not be a personal standard of beauty, but it has spread throughout society and is respected by many people. BM is an Italian clothing brand that goes by the full name Brandy Melville and is known for having only one size. BM style is a clothing style based on the clothes produced by this brand, which rose in the 1980s. Taking the BM style as an example, this paper will explore the origin, characteristics, popular reasons, and existing disputes of the BM style to demonstrate the aesthetic standards of todays society. This kind of aesthetic standard first produces certain negative effects on the body. Women who dont fit this criterion will get there in unhealthy ways. Secondly, it also has an impact on womens psychology. If woman does not meet this standard, they will be discriminated against by the society, by man, even by other woman who fits that standard. These negative effects show how ridiculous this aesthetic is.

Full textAbstract:
Pregnancy is a purely physiological process, but there are physical and psychological changes that the pregnant woman tells in her pregnancy. On the physical level and external appearance, the pregnant woman has many changes such as weight gain, abdominal and chest hypertrophy, and changes in the skin. On the psychological level, the pregnant woman suffers some disorders and psychological crises such as anxiety from pregnancy, childbirth and depression. The current study studies two important variables related to pregnancy (body image) and (birth anxiety) in pregnant women. And examine the relationship between them and their relationship to some variables (age, number of pregnancies and birth, month of pregnancy, and sex of the fetus). Two instruments were designed to detect body image and obstetric anxiety, and were applied to a sample of pregnant women (126) The results showed that the more negative the image of the body in pregnant women, the higher the levels of birth anxiety, and the age of the pregnant woman contributed to predicting the body image, while both the age of the pregnant woman and the number of birth times in the prediction of concern birth.

Full textAbstract:
Body image disorders involve dissatisfaction with a specific part or all of a woman’s body. A woman experiencing body image dissatisfaction may face psychological problems such as mood disorder, decreased self-esteem, and decreased physical activity. With the reflection of the weak-ideal woman’s appearance by society and mass media, women may be exposed to these problems and can internalize this by comparing their bodies with the idealized women’s bodies. Women may experience major hormonal changes due to pregnancy and menopause that affect their physical appearance, roles, and responsibilities in society and family, and breast and gynecological cancers. Alternative therapeutic methods for body image disorders are important for women. Physical activity and exercise, yoga, dance therapy, body awareness therapy, and manual therapy can all be recommended for women to improve body image.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Menstrual cycle length is an indicator of reproductive health of a woman. Duration of menstrual cycle in a woman is affected by a number of factors including BMI. The effect of BMI on menstrual cycle length has been studied less extensively. Not many studies have been conducted on Indian populations. This study was conducted to study the relation of body mass index and menstrual cycle length in reproductive age women.Methods: The study included 225 women of age 15-45 years. Women with average menstrual cycle length of 24-38 were regarded as regularly menstruating women. Menstrual cycle length was defined as short (<24 days), normal (24-38 days), long (>38 days). During the menstrual phase of the cycle BMI of each participant was recorded.Results: A significant (p=0.0008) increase in mean BMI was found with increased in length of menstrual cycle. The majority of the women with long menstrual cycle were obese compared to women having normal and short length of menstrual cycle.Conclusions: The results of present study indicates that women with long menstrual cycle have increased body mass index compared to women having normal or short menstrual cycle length.

This article is devoted to the philosophical and psychoanalytic aspects of a womanʼs body experience. Ideas about female physicality are presented in the works of T. Moi, I. M. Young, Z. Freud, K. Horney, etc. The existence of a woman is determined by the historical, cultural, social and economic framework of her position; abstract femininity does not exist, the historical epoch and cultural diversity affect the characteristics of femininity and the experience of the female body. Women identify themselves as women with body experience, the female body is constantly changing, transforming; it is an object of pleasure and desire of another. Psychological, cultural and social factors contribute to the fact that a woman takes a passive libidinal position of subordination and inequality.

Full textAbstract:
The stereotype is commonly used to recognize and identify particular individual or societies. One of stereotype which is depicted in Alice Walker’s “The Color Purple" is the beauty. The beauty stereotype is experienced by most of women in the story. They are required to fulfill certain standards in order to be labeled as a graceful and beautiful woman, even that standards are imposed to be decisive for the women to enter society and the society’s system. The existing system in the community is majority controlled by thought or ideology that emphasizes the male opinion, or it is also called patriarchy. Celie, an African-American woman, is a main character facing the oppression not only because she is uneducated but also unfit the stereotype. In order to recognize kinds of beauty stereotype, this paper is using descriptive analytic method. Meanwhile, Naomi Wolf (2002) ideas on Beauty Myth is used to identify the issue. Through finding and discussions, it can be concluded that body figure and style are two dominant parts in women’s beauty stereotype.

Full textAbstract:
To explore the hypothesis that lower body muscle mass correlates with orthostatic tolerance, 18 healthy volunteers (age 18–48 yr; 10 men, 8 women) underwent a graded lower body negative pressure (LBNP) protocol consisting of six, 5-min stages of suction up to 60 mmHg in 10-mmHg increments. Forearm blood flow, heart rate, and blood pressure were measured, and forearm vascular resistance was calculated. Leg muscle mass was assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. All subjects received standard intravenous hydration for at least 8 h before the study. Six men and four women completed all stages of LBNP. Four men and four women developed presyncopal symptoms, including marked bradycardia and/or hypotension, at LBNP levels of 30 mmHg ( n = 2; 1 man, 1 woman), 40 mmHg ( n = 2; 1 man, 1 woman), and 50 mmHg ( n = 4; 2 men, 2 women). The presyncopal subjects had leg muscle masses ranging from 19.5 to 25.2 kg in men and from 11.7 to 16.6 kg in women. In subjects who completed all stages of LBNP, leg muscle mass ranged from 17.5 to 24.1 kg in men and from 10.4 to 18.0 kg in women. Leg muscle mass did not differ between presyncopal subjects and those who completed the protocol. Furthermore, there were no differences in the hemodynamic responses to LBNP between subjects with low vs. high leg mass. These data suggest that leg muscle mass is not a critical determinant of LBNP tolerance in otherwise healthy men and women.

Full textAbstract:
The Internet has now entered a phase of fast change. Social media is also developing and becoming more widespread as time goes on. However, the expansion of social media has also brought about certain issues, such as womens anxiety over their looks and body shape, which is causing an increasing number of people to have both medical and psychological issues. People devote a lot of attention to womens shape and looks since it is a prominent issue on social media, which makes women afraid to acknowledge their own beauty and forces them to continue pursuing beauty in the eyes of others. Review and case analysis are the primary research methodologies used in this study. The research for the paper shows that the strain of networking sites, including the use of self-timer software, being in competition with others, and some advertising marketing techniques is to blame for the rise in anxiety. The physical and emotional health of women may suffer as a result of these social demands. Following an analysis of these causes, this study suggests comparable remedies to help women achieve self-acceptance, and society also offers assistance to lessen womens anxiety and foster healthy social growth.

Positioning yourself as a woman by feeling all her existence and helplessness will make us able to read the text in a literary work of women. Literary works which written by female authors usually present messages and ideas contrary to the patriarchal system. If the reader simply places himself as a "reader" then he will not be able to capture the message and the idea. Instead they only concerned with the public's understanding and perception in general which is still dominated by patriarchal culture. Through the feminist’s approach "read as a woman" in the essay collection Perempuan yang Menunggu (The Waiting Women) by Dorothea Rosa's, "women readers" will find concrete images of the condition of women in accordance with reality. They will read, interpret and understand the body of women as well as their own body and identity. Ultimately, women are able to free themselves from the frame constraints that limit their creativity and overhaul the existing patriarchal systems

Full textAbstract:
Despite being wealthier, Indian children are significantly shorter and smaller than African children. These differences begin very early in life, suggesting that they may in part reflect differences in maternal health. By applying reweighting estimation strategies to the Demographic and Health Surveys, this paper reports, to my knowledge, the first representative estimates of prepregnancy body mass index and weight gain during pregnancy for India and sub-Saharan Africa. I find that 42.2% of prepregnant women in India are underweight compared with 16.5% of prepregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa. Levels of prepregnancy underweight for India are almost seven percentage points higher than the average fraction underweight among women 15–49 y old. This difference in part reflects a previously unquantified relationship among age, fertility, and underweight; childbearing is concentrated in the narrow age range in which Indian women are most likely to be underweight. Further, because weight gain during pregnancy is low, averaging about 7 kg for a full-term pregnancy in both regions, the average woman in India ends pregnancy weighing less than the average woman in sub-Saharan Africa begins pregnancy. Poor maternal health among Indian women is of global significance because India is home to one fifth of the world’s births.

The current study was conducted to examine how young and older women in the Peshawar city perceive their body image which influences their clothing choices. The selected sample of women whose age ranged between 20-50 years were evaluated by using the Stunkard body image measure. The correlation between actual body mass index (BMI) and perceived body image was significant indicated by 39% of female population having a favorable impression of their bodies. Women with a poor body image often use clothing to camouflage their protruding body parts. Positive body image leads to a preference for fitting clothing, while negative body image favors loose-fitting clothing. The study also examined the impact of patterns on women's body image, finding that women enjoyed all types of prints in their attire. The study would be distinctive in the field of fashion industry which enable a woman in identifying real body image (BMI) and perceived body image, hence help in designing attires to camouflage minor flaws.

Introduction: Breast cancer is a type of cancer developed in the breast organ. Breast cancer occurs when breast tissue cells get out of the control of the cell cycle checkpoints and proliferate abnormally. Breast cancer rates are rising in developing Asian countries, especially Iran. Identifying people with early-stage breast cancer is of great importance, as it can prevent death. Materials & Methods: Data were extracted on the variables of height, weight, breast cancer stage, and body mass index (BMI) related to 109 female patients under treatment for breast cancer who had visited Namazi hospital, Shiraz, during the early stages of the symptoms between the years 2017-2019. In this study, the ANOVA test was used to compare the mean BMI scores at different breast cancer stages. Results: Our results showed a significant difference between mean BMI and breast cancer stage. As the stage of breast cancer in patients increased, the BMI increased as well. Entering advanced stages of breast cancer greatly increased the BMI. Age had no effect on the increase or decrease of BMI. Individuals with BMIs above 30 had stages 3 and 4 of breast cancer (P≤0.5). Discussion: Increased BMI and obesity are prognostic factors for advanced breast cancer stages and the mortality resulting from it. Therefore, early detection of the disease is an essential factor for prevention.

Este artículo tiene como objetivo describir las distintas formas de percibir el cuerpo como territorio en mujeres que ejercen la prostitución en el sector de La Veracruz en Medellín (Colombia) a partir de sus narrativas. Este corresponde a un estudio cualitativo de nivel descriptivo enmarcado en el paradigma interpretativo hermenéutico y el método fenomenológico clásico. Para la recolección de la información se emplearon como técnicas una entrevista semiestructurada y la cartografía social. Los datos se analizaron a través de un proceso de codificación que permitió la identificación de categorías emergentes con apoyo del software Atlas Ti. Los resultados muestran que desde la visión que tienen las mujeres que ejercen la prostitución es posible percibir el cuerpo como un espacio que está integrado por lo emocional, lo conductual, lo expresivo y lo vivencial que se reconoce así mismo como un territorio que puede ser habitado y cambiante, que la historicidad de este y los conflictos que le atraviesan, le permiten ser reconocido como una herramienta de lucha, constancia e interpretación.

Full textAbstract:
Only a small number of studies draw attention to the relationship between body image after pregnancy and during lactation with the decision to undertake and continue breastfeeding. Body image is a complex mental construct, which consists of: cognitive, emotional and behavioural components, and which is subject to change during the life of the woman. Pregnancy, childbirth and lactation affect the physicality of women, which is also reflected in the way of defining their body image. Dissatisfaction with own body can affect the decision to breastfeed or cause discomfort during breastfeeding. At the same time, undertaking breastfeeding can, through the hormones secreted at the time, positively influence the assessment of the woman’s body before and during pregnancy. The discovery of this relationship, and in the future indicating the precise correlation phenomena, could have a practical use in working with patients whether to breastfeed. By noticing and identifying an early onset of irregularities in the forming body image of a pregnant women, healthcare professionals can support those in need to build a real body image and positive attitude towards occurring changes and thus increase their comfort. Recognising and understanding the obstacles women experience on the road to breastfeeding, educators and professionals can create programs which consider a more complex, psycho-physical dimension of breastfeeding.

In April, a Bill was considered to enable women to be consecrated as bishops. The most crucial amendment for consideration was that ‘the Bench of Bishops will provide pastoral care and support for those who in conscience cannot accept the ordination of women as priests and bishops through the ministry of an Assistant Bishop or Bishops’. The Archbishop resisted the amendment on the grounds that, if it were passed, the Church would be appointing a male bishop who had doubts about the validity of the orders of a woman bishop. Such a bishop and his followers would have real doubts as to whether the sacraments presided over by her were real sacraments, and real doubts about whether anyone ordained by her, male or female, was actually ordained.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAids management programmes in South Africa focus primarily on people under the age of 48. Local theologies, too, address mainly the needs of HIV-infected people between the ages of 15 and 50. This article, then, argues for theological attention to women over the age of 50 who remain voiceless and isolated in their bodies. Although Body Theology as developed by Lisa Isherwood does not deal with the HIV-infected body as such, the insights of this theology, in dialogue with the experiences of HIV-infected women over 50, are used here to construct a basic theology for empowering the four 'bodies' of the older woman living with HIV: the physical body is to be embodied as a site of resistance and enjoyment, the symbolic body as a site of relationship and beauty; the political body as the site of energy, and the spiritual body as the site of recreation and resurrection. Women over 50 are in special need of theological care because of the loneliness ensuing from the fact that, in this age group, the women/men ratio in South Africa is 100 to 70. This renders older women vulnerable to illicit sexual encounters.

The hypothesis tested in this study was that the 'traditional build' is the culturally valued body shape by Ghanaian women. Culturally sensitive figural stimuli were designed to assess the current body image (CBI) and the ideal body image (IBI) of Ghanaian women. The most frequently selected model for the CBI was one that represented a slightly overweight woman; the IBI selected was consistent with a representation of normal body mass index; and the least healthy image was that figure that represented morbidly obesity.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting 1 in 3 people over the age of 40 and women more so than men The goal of the study is to identify the relationship between body mass index (BMI), and C- reactive protein (CRP), with osteoarthritis (OA) in woman premenopausal subjects. In the study, 30 healthy woman without OA and 60 women patients with OA from general Balad Hospital in Salah Al-Den governorate were both included. Each subject was a premenopausal woman between the ages of 40 and 50. Clinical examination, X-ray diagnosis, and biochemical tests with ELISA and COBOS 6000 were used to determine the diagnosis of OA. This study proved that there is a significant increase in BMI (29.56+ 0.64) and CRP (0.703+ 0.09) mg/ml in premenopausal OA females than their level in the healthy control group (26.58) Kg/m2 and (0.379+0.11) mg/dl respectively. It’s noted that BMI has a negative correlation with CRP. Osteoarthritis in premenopausal women is strongly affected by BMI and CRP levels and it’s recommended to manage obesity and take CRP into consideration in routine OA tests.

The purpose of this study was to examine the estimated body composition values of women hospitalized for treatment of anorexia nervosa in relation to values reported in the literature for women without known dietary problems. Sixteen volunteers between the ages of 16 and 37 years from hospitals in California and Texas participated in the study. Data collected included height, weight, and selected skinfold and circumference measures. Statistical analyses included independent and paired t tests. Significant differences were found between the percent body fat of anorexic subjects (M = 15.54%) and that of normative women in the Jackson, Pollock, and Ward (1980) study (M = 24.09%). When the actual weight of the anorexic subjects (M = 99.3 lb) was compared with their theoretical minimal weight calculated by the Behnke (1969) formula (M = 106.5 lb), no significant difference was obtained. A comparison of somatogram data for the anorexic women and the reference woman found significant differences at 5 of the 11 sites measured.
