Full textAbstract:
HUNGER: ESSAYS is a collection of lyric essays that present the coming-of-age story of a young woman growing up in a Panamanian family where identity is defined by patriarchal notions of femininity (e.g., physical appearances) and economically-oriented career aspirations. In an attempt to fit into this family rather than explore her difference, the narrator undergoes psychological trauma that results in anorexia during her young adulthood. As she works towards healing, the narrator grapples with Western dichotomies of body and mind in an effort to become a more integrated self.

We often feel hungry and we also often make decisions that involve risk and uncertainty. However, little is known about the influence of the feeling of hunger on risk preference. Previous studies have suggested that hunger is capable of altering people’s attention and perception, but could it also be capable of altering risk preferences? In two experiments, this current study explores the relationship between hunger and risk preference. Visual food-related stimuli are used to manipulate hunger followed by a real gambling task, which assesses risk propensity. The results suggest that hunger may reduce risk-taking in gambling-like situations. Interestingly, the phenomenon seems particularly true among those who are in general more prone to take risks (i.e., male participants).

Full textAbstract:
The protests and strikes in Västervik 1917 have been considered to be the start of the hunger movement in Sweden. The events have been called the Swedish revolution. The Swedes who participated were inspired by the February revolution in Russia, and there were similarities, but the reformist side won and the outcome was the equal vote for most men and women. This essay analyzes the way four newspapers report from the events in relation to the political orientation of the newspapers, the involvement of women in the strikes and protests, and how the events in Västervik can be used for educational purposes. The two right wing newspapers wrote negatively about the worker´s movement and, the two left wing newspapers published articles that acknowledged the struggle of the workers and the abuse against the workers by the factory owners. Three of the newspapers (Smålands Allehanda, Smålands Folkblad and Västerviks Veckoblad) initially have relatively neutral articles and the comments about the opposing political side are relatively subtle. The revolutionary syndicalist newspaper Syndikalisten has a more aggressive tone because it functions as the official paper of SAC, the Swedish workers central organization. The inquiry shows that women were not that much involved in the strikes and protests in Västervik. They were active in the certain sectors, such as foodstuff, where they, in certain cases, could make a big difference. The events in Västervik 1917 can be used in school when the students work with the history of their local communities in a social learning environment.

Yee, Sandra M. "Greedy Hunger and Happy Ruin." Thesis, Virginia Tech, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/52859.
Full textAbstract:
Greedy Hunger and Happy Ruin is a collection of poems that gathers a life of fragments and frayed ends into a loose narrative of desire, loss, language, and almost redemption. The poems examine the costs of leaving home, as seen in a mermaid's wish to become human, an immigrant family's aspirations of upward mobility, and an immigrant daughter's hunger for U.S. American social/lingual fluency, male attention, and erasure of her difference.
The collection follows speakers who, hungry for homes they cannot return to, navigate a landscape crowded with fairy tales, biblical myth, filial duty, and pop culture in search of the perfect lover or dress to transform them from brokenness to wholeness. As they strive for such unattainable ideals, however, these speakers inevitably end up homeless and/or scarred, as exemplified by Joyce Wildenstein's plastic surgery excesses. The speakers in these poems rue their missed chances, lost loves, ageing bodies, and crowded histories of wrong men. They offer their sins in confession but are unsure whether such disclosure can free them from the mistakes that haunt them.
Ultimately, Greedy Hunger and Happy Ruin begins to question what we choose to covet and how we choose to reflect on our pasts. The poems' speakers must confront the fantasies and ambitions that govern their lives and discover that transformation and absolution come not from a radiant external source but internal shifts of perspective, moment by moment, memory by memory, towards an embrace of the loss and longing (and joy) that make us human.Master of Fine Arts

Full textAbstract:
The five short fiction stories in this collection vary in styles from Realism, Fairy Tale, to Magical Realism, and all relate in some degrees, to the world of food. "The Food Ghost," told between two parallel perspectives, is the story of a young girl whose apartment is haunted by the ghost of a woman cooking through her last days on earth. "Fig," is a fairytale about a little girl who won't eat, and how her slightly over-bearing parents deal with her refusal. "Drive," tells what happens when a woman tries to hitchhike away from a sour relationship. "How Not To Cook An Emu Egg," tells the story of a small town woman who brings an emu egg with her to a big city. "A Certain Kind Of Hunger," follows a young woman with a disease that causes her to transform into a pink monster when she becomes hungry. After each story is a recipe relevant to the narrative, told from one character's perspective in each piece.

Broom, David R. "The effects of exercise on hunger and the hunger-related hormones ghrelin and peptide YY." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2008. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/34049.
Full textAbstract:
Aerobic and resistance exercise have been promoted as a key component of exercise recommendations for weight control because exercise is an effective method of increasing energy expenditure and it may paradoxically, lead to a short-term hunger suppression. This phenomenon has been termed 'exercise induced anorexia' but the mechanisms are unclear so the relationship between exercise and hunger has led to a need for investigators to study the role of gut hormones in mediating exercise-induced hunger changes. The effect of acute exercise bouts on total plasma ghrelin concentrations is controversial and no studies have reported the effects of exercise on acylated ghrelin. There is also a paucity of data on the effects of exercise on total PYY. Several limitations are apparent in the research literature regarding exercise and gut hormones. Most studies have measured gut hormone responses for relatively short periods and few studies have assessed post-exercise gut hormone responses to feeding over a prolonged period or attempted to relate these responses to changes in hunger. Moreover, no studies have examined acylated ghrelin and PYY responses to resistance exercise. Therefore the purpose of the studies presented in this thesis is to investigate the acute effects of exercise on hunger and acylated ghrelin and the final study measured total PYY in healthy fasted participants to try and explain the mechanisms for 'exercise induced anorexia'.

Sustainable Built Environments Senior Capstone ProjectThe paper revolves around the intersection of food waste and food insecurity within the built environment. A sample of grocery stores were asked to explain their policies regarding food waste, specifically how they divided this waste stream between food recovery and composting. It was determined in the end that the potential to grow composting as a waste management practice is far greater than the potential to expand food recovery, for all the participating grocery stores could not donate more food than they had historically.

Watson, Lorraine Anne. "Patterns of perceived hunger in healthy adults." Diss., The University of Arizona, 1991. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/185724.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this descriptive correlational study was to examine relationships among the sensations and cognition components of perceived hunger and four contextual correlates: physiological, emotional, environmental, and established patterns. The study examined (1) relationships among the contextual factors and components of perceived hunger, (2) differences between normal weight and overweight individuals in their perception of hunger, and (3) multivariate relationships among contextual factors and perceived hunger. The convenience sample was comprised of 359 healthy adults living in western Canada. The theoretical framework for this study emerged from the global context of the eating experience, specifically the relationship between the constructs of contextual factors and hunger. Physiological context was estimated by body mass index. Instruments used to estimate the concepts, emotional context, environmental context, established patterns, sensations, and cognition were immature instruments. Reliability and validity had been assessed in a pilot study. Statistical analysis of data included descriptive statistics, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, one-way analysis of variance, and stepwise multiple regression techniques. Approximately 58 percent of the variance in the cognitive struggle component of perceived hunger, was accounted for by the intensity of the individual's negative emotions and their degree of adiposity. Other patterns were indicative of trends. The linear composite of negative emotions, environmental factors, and the immediacy component of the established patterns accounted for 22 percent of the variance in the enhancers aspect of cognition. Nineteen percent of the variance in the sensations component was accounted for by the linear composite of the immediacy component of established patterns, environmental context, degree of adiposity, and negative emotions. Both overweight and obese individual's perception of sensations denoting hunger was significantly less intense than those experienced by normal weight individuals. The obese individual's perception of cognitive struggle was significantly more intense than that experienced by underweight, normal weight, or overweight individuals. Overweight individuals experienced cognitive struggle with significantly greater intensity than did underweight individuals. Nurses in clinical settings may use the findings for assessing and formulating nursing interventions related to eating behavior.

Full textAbstract:
In many conflict-ridden countries, food insecurity prevails. However, the relationship between food insecurity and armed conflict onset is a complex one, and scholarly attention has increasingly been directed towards furthering our understanding of its nature. In this study, the proposition is brought forth that the effect of food insecurity on armed conflict onset should be contingent on certain features of the economic, social and political environment. Specifically, it suggests that (i) food insecurity should increase the risk of armed conflict onset by generating deprivation in absolute terms, and (ii) that the risk should be heightened when such insecurity disproportionally affects certain groups in society. The latter point pertains to the level of horizontal inequality – i.e. inequality at the group level –, the presence of which is expected to compound the risk of food insecurity leading to armed conflict onset by adding a relative dimension of deprivation to the absolute. A logistic regression analysis is employed using global data for the years 1961 to 2009. The findings do not support the hypothesized relationship. Rather, although food insecurity does increase the risk of armed conflict in cases where the level of horizontal political inequality is low, it decreases the risk in cases where it is high. This indicates that the impact of food insecurity on the risk of armed conflict indeed is contingent on certain features of the political environment, which calls for conditionality to increasingly be taken into account in future research on the relationship between food insecurity and armed conflict onset.

Rahman, Muzna. "Speaking starvation : representations of bodily protest in contemporary postcolonial fiction." Thesis, University of Manchester, 2013. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.570270.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis traces the forms and contexts of hunger strikes as they are represented in contemporary postcolonial fiction. I look specifically at three postcolonial novels: Kiran Desai’s The Inheritance of Loss (2006), J.M. Coetzee’s Life and Times of Michael K (1983), and Tsitsi Dangarembga’s Nervous Conditions (1988). The final work examined in this piece is a selection of prison writings by Bobby Sands, a non-fictional figure who underwent a hunger strike in 1981 in Long Kesh (otherwise known as the Maze Prison) in Northern Ireland.The historical and regional scope of this investigation is broad. The works presented are framed by very different socio-cultural backgrounds. The common thread that runs throughout the pieces is an engagement with the themes, motifs, and concerns of postcoloniality. The hunger strike is figured as a response to the pressures associated with the fractured form of postcolonial identity. This identity is informed by contemporary and historical engagements with colonial ideology. I utilise historical and sociological material in order to outline and trace an inherited legacy of this colonial ideology – specifically through a frame of hunger and deprivation as associated with imperial domination.The four chapters of this thesis examine one hunger-strike scenario apiece. In each instance, the bodily protest performed takes on a common form. The logic of the hunger strike relies on a division between mind and body. Using the four individuals analysed in this thesis I examine how the form of the hunger strike seeks to separate the realm of representation, which is associated with the mind, from the realm of the material, which is related to the body. The failure of each hunger strike is reflected in the indivisible relationship between representation and the material contexts they construct.Using this basic dichotomy, I consider how each text comments on, reacts to, and contains the categories of representation and the material. Through the lens of this oppositional binary I examine the relationship between historical colonial narratives and the texts and subjects that they produce, and are in turn produced by.

West, Jenelle T. "Hunger and Satiety in Recovering Eating Disorder Patients." DigitalCommons@USU, 2005. http://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/5514.
Full textAbstract:
Desire to eat, hunger, feeling of having enough to eat, and fullness were measured in 11 eating disorder patients in treatment for less than two months, 7 eating disorder patients in treatment for more than two months, and 11 controls. The experimental group was female patients with a DSM-IV diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, or eating disorder not-otherwise-specified. The experimental and control groups ate a test meal two hours after a preload. The groups answered four questions about desire to eat, hunger, feeling of having enough to eat, and fullness, before they ate, halfway through their meal, immediately upon finishing the meal, and 15 minutes after finishing their meal. The groups were required to eat 100% of the meal provided. The difference in data between the experimental and control groups was not statistically significant. The experimental group that had been in treatment longer than two months had means closer to the control group than the other experimental group who had been in treatment less than two months. This may suggest that the experimental group who had been in treatment more than two months was starting to regain a more normal sense of hunger and satiety. However, a repeat study with a larger sample size would be needed to prove that statement.

Full textAbstract:
This project examines food systems and hunger in relation to city planning, and results in a draft strategic plan to address the food security and nutritional needs of San Luis Obispo County’s most vulnerable residents. This Draft Plan is submitted to the Food Bank Coalition of San Luis Obispo County as part of the Hunger-Free Community Project.
The Food Bank Coalition of San Luis Obispo County was the lead agency of a USDA Hunger-Free Communities planning grant awarded in 2011. With this grant, the Food Bank convened a group of stakeholders to form the San Luis Obispo County Food System Coalition, and worked with community partners to conduct three studies on existing food resources, food security, and nutritional need in San Luis Obispo County. The outcome of this project is a draft of the third component of the grant – the creation of a strategic plan to address hunger and improve nutrition in San Luis Obispo County.
San Luis Obispo County is a rural region rich in agricultural production, but hunger is a growing problem in the County indicating deficiencies in the local food system. One in six residents do not know where their next meal will come from. A high cost of living coupled with many low-wage jobs leaves many residents with few financial resources from which to provide food and other basic necessities.
This project reviewed current professional and academic literature on food systems, hunger, and planning; conducted a case study analysis on existing hunger plans; compiled a background report on the existing hunger situation and community needs in the County; and worked with the San Luis Obispo County Food System Coalition to create the Draft Hunger-Free Community Plan for San Luis Obispo County. The Draft Plan and Background Report are organized into five themes: Food Access, Nutrition & Hunger, Local Agriculture, Community Resources and the SLO County Food System Coalition. As this plan is only a draft, the next steps that need to be taken before final adoption of the plan are outlined. This plan is a community plan; it will require the work and support of many organizations and agencies to effectively end hunger in the County.

Williamson, Matthew Marlingford. "Hunger, appetite and the politics of the Renaissance stage." Thesis, Queen's University Belfast, 2017. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.728828.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the role played by the representation of hunger and appetite in the politics of the Renaissance stage. It adopts a Marxist approach, drawing on the work of theorists such as Raymond Williams, and emphasizing the significance of concepts such as class, the base/superstructure model, and lived experience. In order to understand the particular qualities which could be invested in hunger and appetite on the stage, the thesis situates the representation of these drives in the context of the material factors which defined the early modern theatre itself. The sale of food and the practicalities of staging both hunger and appetite are analysed as determining influences upon the content of specific dramatic works. The thesis demonstrates the extent to which hunger and appetite were deployed in the early modern theatre as a device by which playing companies interrogated the economic polarisation, urbanisation and imperialist expansion of the period. It argues that the depiction of hunger and appetite lent ideological form to underlying material differences between the period’s residual and emergent classes. The thesis builds upon existing criticism on a range of subjects, particularly poverty, hunger, and recent innovative work in food studies, but aims to synthesise the strengths of these relatively distinct critical areas by stressing the conceptual interrelation of hunger and appetite in the period. It explores the role played by hunger and appetite in the representation of service, gifts, sexual desire, imperialism and revolt. By rooting its understanding of hunger and appetite in the period’s politics, the thesis aims to demonstrate their significance as both a subject of political importance and a means by which wider political issues could be conceptualised.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis concerns the history of humanitarian nutrition and its political implications. Drawing on aid agency archives and other historical sources, it examines how food has been delivered in emergencies, from the First World War to the present day. The approach is ethnographic: this is a study of the micro-level practices of relief, examining the objects distributed, the plans made, the techniques used. It is also historical: examining how such practices have changed over time. This thesis makes five interlocking arguments. First, I make a political point: that humanitarian action is always political, and that it is impossible to adhere to ‘classical’ humanitarian principles such as neutrality, impartiality and independence. Second, I make a sociological argument: that the activities of humanitarian nutrition have been shaped by a number of themes, which include militarism, medicine, modernity, and markets. Third, I make a historical argument: that the main features of humanitarian nutrition were solidified between the 1930s and the 1970s, and were largely in place by the time of the Biafran war. Fourth, I make a sociological argument: that these mid-century changes involved a profound redefinition of hunger and food (with hunger conceived as a biochemical deficiency, and food as a collection of nutrients). Finally, I make a normative argument, suggesting that this redefinition has not necessarily benefited the starving: the provision of food in emergencies, I argue, is often concerned with control and efficiency rather than the suffering individuals themselves.

Full textAbstract:
Enduring for more than five years, the Great Irish Potato Famine, an apparently intractable humanitarian catastrophe characterised by substantial population displacement, widespread starvation and mass mortality throughout the island of Ireland, produced multiple crises for the emerging structures of modernism. Prevailing ideological concepts surrounding social organisation, the limits of governmental intervention, economic orthodoxy, as well as religious and moral responsibility in response to distant suffering, were all challenged by the advent of a disaster of this magnitude within the boundaries of a modem state. Yet, this subsistence crisis occurred during a decade of technological innovation that saw the advent of both pictorial journalism and the emergence of photography within the metropolitan core. Thus, the Famine was the first time that middle class viewers were confronted with images of distant suffering through the auspices of the newly formed illustrated press. In particular, the Illustrated London News published numerous images depicting the effects of starvation and suffering throughout the continuing subsistence crisis. These images have been associated with influencing British public opinion in regard to the appropriate response towards this humanitarian crisis and can also be directly linked to the visualisation of suffering today. While photography was not used to directly depict the ravages of starvation in a manner akin to photojournalistic representations of distant suffering, it was utilised by members of the aristocratic elite in the post-Famine decade to represent the land and people in a manner that responded to official attempts to impose modem structures upon Ireland. Therefore, although the Famine remains unrepresented photographically, this initial attempt to visualise distant suffering within modernity had a profound impact upon the development of representative strategies that resonate today.

Full textAbstract:
The quantity, quality and variety of food ingested by humans largely determines the intake of the essential mineral micronutrients required for normal human physiological functioning, growth and development. Inadequate dietary intake, low bioavailability, and failure of the human body to utilize ingested essential minerals lead to mineral micronutrient deficiencies (MNDs), an invisible form of undernutrition also known as hidden hunger. With the aim of aiding future human nutrition policy planning, the extent of dietary MNDs of calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), iodine (I), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) were estimated by integrating food supply and composition, estimated average requirement and demographic data. National level dietary Ca, Mg and Zn deficiency risks between 1992 and 2011 were estimated for the populations of 145 countries. Globally, in 2011, 3.5 and 1.1 billion people were at risk of Ca and Zn deficiency, respectively, due to inadequate dietary supply; 14 million people were at risk of Mg deficiency during the same period. Ninety percent of those at risk of Ca and Zn deficiency in 2011 lived in Africa and Asia. Considering the limited policy-making relevance of the low resolution national estimates of mineral MNDs, sub-national level assessments of the prevalence of dietary mineral MNDs were made for Malawi in 2011 using a 7-day household dietary recall survey data (n = 12117). It was estimated that >50% of households in Malawi were at risk of energy, Ca, Se, or Zn deficiencies due to inadequate dietary supplies, but supplies of Fe, Cu and Mg were adequate for >80% of households. Interventions to address dietary mineral deficiencies, such as dietary diversification using underutilized multipurpose and hardy tree/shrub species (e.g. Moringa spp.), were considered. Greater than 78% of Moringa growing households in southern Ethiopia and Kenya use M. oleifera (MO) and M. stenopetala (MS) trees as a source of food. Increasing the dietary consumption of MO and MS leaves, as a fresh vegetable or in powdered form, can reduce the prevalence of mineral micronutrient deficiencies, most notably Se deficiency. Daily consumption of 100 g Kenyan MO or MS fresh leaves could provide 100% and 144%, respectively, of the Se recommended daily allowance for a healthy adult man. Research and development to promote the use of these species in the fight against hidden hunger, are necessary. Continuing to reduce mineral MND risks through dietary diversification, and food and agricultural interventions, including fortification, crop breeding and use of micronutrient fertilisers, will remain a significant challenge during the global Sustainable Development era.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund En mer stillasittande livsstil med ett högre kaloriintag ökar riskerna för övervikt och andra metabola sjukdomar. För att förebygga och behandla dessa sjukdomar behöver vi bland annat förstå hur hungerkänslor regleras hos människan. Hur stor inverkan blodglukosnivåer har på hungerregleringen är dock omdiskuterat. Syfte Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur hungerkänslor och blodglukosnivåer förändras efter en måltid, jämfört med fasta. Kan den upplevda hungern påverkas genom periodisk fas-ta? Hur påverkar en invand måltidsrytm hungern? Hur påverkas hunger och blodglukos i för-väntan på en måltid? Metod Tolv friska testpersoner (7 män, 5 kvinnor) där sju stycken var vana vid periodisk fasta och fem inte var det, randomiserades in i två grupper där ena gruppen (Pi) fick äta en 600 kcal pizza medan den andra gruppen fick fasta (F). Blodglukosvärden och hungeruppskattningar registrerades var 30:e minut, förutom första värdet som registrerades 15 minuter innan pizzor-na serverades. Testpersonerna visste inte vilken grupp de skulle hamna i förrän 10 minuter innan pizzorna serverades. Resultat Fem timmar efter måltiden kunde ingen signifikant skillnad i blodglukossänkning observeras mellan grupperna. Hungern skiljde sig inte heller signifikant mellan grupperna. Endast Pi ökade dock signifikant i hunger (P = 0,05) jämfört med sina startvärden. Fastevana bidrog inte till en förbättrad hungerkontroll. Beskedet om vilken grupp testpersonerna skulle hamna i resulterade i att blodglukosnivåerna skiljde sig signifikant mellan grupperna (P = 0,05) när pizzorna serverades. Då sänktes blodglukosnivåerna hos Pi samtidigt som de höjdes hos F. Fyra av fem testpersoner i F och en testperson i Pi blev tydligt hungrigare vid tidpunkter då de vanligtvis brukade äta på. Slutsats Samband mellan absoluta blodglukosnivåer och hunger kunde inte hittas. Stark hunger kunde uppstå fastän dietär energi sannolikt fortfarande absorberades i tarmarna.Våra resultat indikerade därför att akut energitillgänglighet utgör en relativt liten del i den totala hungersignaleringen. En invand måltidsrytm såg ut att påverka hungern mer än vad måltiden i den här studien gjorde. Större fokus vid hungerreglering bör därför ligga på en re-gelbunden måltidsrytm.Background The increasingly sedentary lifestyle of our society combined with a constantly rising caloric intake has elevated the risk of developing obesity and other metabolic diseases. There is a need to understand the underlying mechanisms of hunger regulation to effectively prevent and treat these diseases. The magnitude of which an active regulation of blood glucose has an influence on hunger regulation is rather controversial. Objective The objective of this study was to investigate how the changes in hunger and blood glucose levels may differ after a mixed meal compared to the fasting state. Research questions include: Does intermittent fasting reduce general hunger? How does an entrenched meal-pattern affect hunger? How does hunger and blood glucose change in anticipation of a meal? Method Twelve healthy subjects (7 men, 5 women), of which seven subjects regularly practiced intermittent fasting and the remaining five did not, were randomized into two groups, one group was eating pizza (Pi), and the other group was fasting (F). Blood glucose levels and hunger ratings were collected every 30 minutes, with exception of initial values that were collected 15 minutes prior to the serving of the pizzas. The subjects were unaware of which group they would be designated to until 10 minutes prior to the serving of the pizzas. Results Decline in blood glucose did not significantly differ between groups during the 5 hour window following the meal ingestion. Hunger ratings differed significantly between individuals but not between groups. However, only Pi had significantly elevated hunger ratings in the end of the test period compared to their initial ratings. In anticipation of the meal a significant change in blood glucose was observed between the groups (P = 0.05), where values dropped for Pi and rose for F. Four out of five subjects in F and one subject in Pi were considerably hungrier during time periods they reported as habitual eating occasion. Conclusion Correlations between absolute blood glucose levels and hunger could not be found. An equal rise in hunger appear regardless if subjects were fed or fasting, meaning significant hunger can appear although dietary energy still is absorbed into the blood stream. Thus our results indicate that the acute availability of dietary energy is only a relatively small part of the total hunger signaling process. A disrupted meal pattern seemed to affect hunger feelings more than the ingestion of the served meal. Thus we conclude that more research should focus on meal-pattern regulation to enable better hunger control.

Full textAbstract:
Research in this thesis has examined the acute and chronic effects of exercise on hunger, energy intake and expenditure. Cross-sectional studies examined the effect of 60 min of moderate-intensity cycling on immediate and subsequent three day energy intake and expenditure in active and inactive men (study one) and women not using hormonal contraceptives (study two) and taking oral contraceptives (study three). Study four examined the effects of 12 weeks of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on 7-day free-living energy intake and expenditure. A total of 47 men (mean ± SD; age 23.8 ± 4.2 y; body mass index 24.2 ± 3.0 kg-m'2) and 52 women (22.7 ± 3.4 y; 22.1 ± 2.1 kg-m'2)were recruited into four studies. In study one, 60 min of moderate-intensity (50% of maximum oxygen uptake) cycling did not have an effect on hunger or ad libitum lunch energy intake (p > 0.05) but induced an acute (within the experimental day, p = 0.024, d = 0.56) and delayed (third day after the experimental day,/ > = 0.024, < i= 0.80) increase in free-living energy intake in active and inactive participants, respectively with no compensatory changes in freeliving energy expenditure (p > 0.05). Similarly, studies two and three demonstrated that an acute bout of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise does not increase hunger or ad libitum lunch energy intake in active and inactive women {p > 0.05). In study two there were no exercise-induced compensatory responses in free-living energy intake {p > 0.05) whereas in study three, the inactive group decreased their daily energy intake on the first day after the exercise experimental day compared with control (p = 0.002, d = -0.89). No compensatory changes in daily physical activity energy expenditure were observed in these studies (p > 0.05). In study four 12 weeks of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise did not induce changes to weekly free-living energy intake and expenditure (p > 0.05) despite the high inter-individual variability in changes in body composition. Additionally, inactive participants are not able to independently maintain their physical activity behaviour after the end of a supervised exercise intervention. Overall, this research shows that an acute bout of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise did not affect hunger irrespective of sex or habitual physical activity, however the use of oral contraceptives may have heightened appetite in women. Active men were able to compensate for the acute exercise-induced energy deficit by increasing their energy intake quicker (within the experimental day) than inactive men (third day after the experimental day). In women, no clear relationship was apparent. Moreover, an acute bout of exercise did not elicit compensatory changes in physical activity in men and women. These findings enhance the knowledge of how an acute bout of exercise affects immediate and subsequent energy intake and expenditure in active and inactive men and women but more work is needed to confirm and explore the potential causal mechanisms.

Full textAbstract:
This essay discusses The Hunger Games and Winter’s Bone as feminist novels which contain main characters portrayed as superkids. Initially, gender studies and a feminist approach are presented as a background to discussing the novels from a feministic perspective. A discussion about the phenomenon of superkids is also presented in order to analyse the chosen novels against that theme. The conclusion reached is that both novels include a main character who meets the definition of a superkid. Both books also show clear signs of feminism. Finally, a discussion about why these books are excellent to use in school is raised.

Full textAbstract:
This research sets out to understand risk and resilience from the perspective of very vulnerable households in Rangpur region of northwest Bangladesh, who are exposed to the Monga. The local term ‘Monga’ is defined as seasonal hunger and food insecurity or most commonly a famine-like situation that hits every year in two spells: the severe period during the Bengali months of Ashwin – Kartik (Mid September – Mid November), and the less severe one from Chaittra – Baishak (Mid March – Mid May). A group of people, particularly female headed households, agriculture wage labourers, marginal and small scale deficit farmers are the most Monga affected due primarily to seasonal unemployment and lack of cash, related with the local single to two rice crop economy that is entirely inadequate to meet their needs in those two periods. The Monga situation is more severe some years because of wide scale impact of natural disasters like floods, riverbank erosion, drought and, the worst situation is to be found on the river (char) islands. Recent Monga severity suggests that the situation is not markedly different from what it was. Situating this seasonal hunger, the research argues that the interpretation of Monga is not independent of an understanding of the socio-economic, political and their relational interactions that ultimately configure and reconfigure it. The research motivation thus derives from the need to examine Monga vulnerability and so deepen our insights into the seasonal hunger and food insecurity experiences of the affected households. This thesis explores the underlying multiple factors that (re)shapes food vulnerability at the household level and, how the affected households cope with and how their strategies are played out in their own particular risk and resilience contexts. Eventually, it aims to create a new vocabulary around the old problem of the Monga by examining how Monga vulnerability contributes to chronic poverty and food insecurity at the household level and vice-versa. This research is entirely qualitative in nature. Empirical evidence was collected from five villages in the Rangpur region and associated GO-NGO sources using different ethnographic and qualitative methods. The findings highlight that the Monga predisposes the households to multi-sphere experiences of hunger (i.e. qualitative, quantitative and physiological) and poverty. It is not just one consequence of income poverty; rather, the social and livelihood mechanisms of poor households are dysfunctional, multiply rooted in their entitlements, capabilities, their ways of living and coping, and the negotiations they have with the complex network of institutions that affect households both singly and synergistically. The macroeconomic constraints limit the political economy choices at the micro level and the existence of Monga can be explained by the limited, inadequate and indifferent performance of the different actors that reproduce poverty and chronic food insecurity. The present research reveals that breaking the recurrence of Monga requires its repoliticisaiton. Important factors in this regard are the establishment of food rights and an increase in household resilience.

Full textAbstract:
Religiousness is one potential, understudied psychosocial correlate of eating disorders. To assess associations between religiousness and eating disorders, this study developed the Religious Attendance and Belief Scale (Rel-AB), and examined its psychometric properties. Women from a large population-based sample (N = 1510; M(age) = 42.5) completed subscales measuring (1) belief in a personal and loving God, and (2) attendance at religion-related activities, as well as eating disorder measures. Belief was negatively associated with eating disorder symptomatology among women meeting broadly defined criteria for bulimia nervosa. Eating disorders and religiousness were not associated in the overall sample, and associations were largely nonsignificant among participants meeting criteria for other eating disorders. Overall, results indicated that the Rel-AB Scale has good psychometric properties and is useful for the assessment of religiousness in both research and treatment settings. The utility of including religiousness in the conceptualization of an individual and potential treatment options is discussed.

Full textAbstract:
This study addresses the overarching topic of food insecurity by giving voice to individuals who are dedicating their careers toward combating child food insecurity throughout their communities. Voices are uplifted through the representation of narratives by volunteer coordinators overseeing child feeding programs, which have been established throughout Kentucky as an effort to help alleviate child hunger. This study is guided by London’s theory on career motivation, with the outcomes of this study serving as a pilot for future research centered around individuals working to combat child food insecurity. The narratives collected from this study will be used as a resource for generating public conversation, spreading awareness, and to “tell the story” in regards to child hunger across Kentucky.

This thesis examines the 1981 hunger strike by republican prisoners in Northern Ireland against the removal of special category status from newly convicted paramilitary prisoners on 1 March 1976, the fast was part of a protest that began in 1976. The thesis opens with an examination of the origins of the Provisional Irish Republican Army in 1969 and the emergence of a younger leadership in the late 1970's, and evaluates the significance of the prisons in Irish history. The development of the prisoners protests ranging from the refusal to put on a uniform and perform prison work to the rejection of sanitary or washing facilities, is analysed. The prisoners demands are examined in the context of British and international law. The campaign in support of the republican prisoners conducted outside the Maze Prison, including the formation of the Relatives Action Committee and the National H-Block/Armagh Committee is surveyed, and the female "dirty" protest at Armagh Prison is examined. The medical, ethical, and moral dilemmas presented by hunger striking are identified and the thesis examines the debate whether the men who died were suicides or martyrs. The 1980 and 1981 hunger strikes are examined with particular attention to the efforts to bring about a compromise with the British government and the factors leading to a new hunger strike in 1981 and to the intervention of the Catholic Church with the prisoners relatives which ended the fast. The hunger strike is analysed regarding its effect internationally in building up republican support, and in the Province where it acted as the base for the future success of Provisional Sinn Fein later in the decade.

Grills, Derek. "The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act and High School Obesity." ScholarWorks, 2015. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/1381.
Full textAbstract:
United States high school student obesity rates have doubled in the past 30 years to 13%, threatening the health of millions of adolescents. To mitigate the epidemic, Congress passed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA) in 2010, which mandated significant changes to school nutrition and physical education. From a public policy perspective, the HHFKA changed school nutrition and exercise policy to affect obesity rates by changing intake and energy expenditure at school, though no study using national-level data examined this relationship. As such, the purpose of the study was to examine whether HHFKA policy compliance had a statistically significant effect on high school obesity rates. The theoretical framework for this study was the energy imbalance theory (EIT), as developed by James Hill, Holly Wyatt, and John Peters. The research questions focused on the relationship of HHFKA nutrition changes and childhood obesity rates. The study used Pearson's Product-moment correlation to test for a simple correlation between Compliance Scores and High School obesity rates. Findings revealed no statistically significant correlation between state high school student obesity rates and HHFKA compliance scores. Future research is needed to validate the findings after more time has passed with the HHFKA mandates in effect. The implications for social change include informing the debate over the efficacy of implementing the HHFKA as currently written to mitigate childhood obesity.
