Dieting and eating attitudes in girls : Development and prediction
- 2000
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aims of the present thesis were to study: 1. reported eating attitudes, dieting behavior and body image over a 1-year period among preadolescent girls (age 7-8); 2. differences in eating attitudes and coping between groups of teenage girls differing in dieting frequency, and to assess changes with increasing age (age 13-17); and 3. to what extent eating attitudes, self-esteem and coping predict disturbed eating attitudes. A final aim was to explore differences in the reported wish to be thinner, dieting, and eating attitudes between two age-matched cohorts of girls in 1995 and 1999 (7-15 years).The project is designed as a longitudinal prospective study, spanning seven years. 1300 girls in the ages (1995) 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 years have been assessed annually for three consecutive years (1995-1997) (Main Cohort). An additional group matched for age with the original group was recruited in 1999 (Societal Cohort). The results suggest that dieting and the wish to be thinner starts as early as at 7 years of age, and that repeated dieting attempts correlate with disturbed eating attitudes. A marked increase of the wish to be thinner was evident in the 10- to 14-year age range, and significant increases in dieting attempts occurred mainly between ages 9 and 13. There were no differences between 1995 (Main Cohort) and 1999 (Societal Cohort) (except among 7 and 11-year-olds) with regard to dieting, the wish to be thinner and disturbed eating attitudes. Eating patterns and attitudes were shown to be the strongest predictors of disturbed eating attitudes three years later. Assessment of dieting, the wish to be thinner and eating attitudes is suggested BS a component in school health care.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Companies struggle with identifying relevant sustainability aspects strategically, assessing alternative solutions quantitatively, and making trade-offs. This paper reports results from a prescriptive study with an aerospace company, and presents the Sustainability Criteria And product life-cycle Data Simulation (SCADS) approach. Based on strategic integration of sustainability indicators, this approach aims to enable visualisation and comparison of the sustainability implications of different concepts in early design phases of product development.

Variation in Persian Vowel Systems
- 2013

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The vowel systems employed by different varieties of Persian across time and space exhibit a great deal of variation. This study attempts to describe that variation diachronically, in the spirit of Pisowicz (1985),and synchronically by examining the three major national varieties: Farsi, Dari and Tajik. We interpret the variation encountered through general principles of vowel shifting, as described by Labov (1994), from an Early New Persian baseline. We thus trace the historical development of the vowel systems in the major varieties of Persian spoken in Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan, clarifying the relationships among the varieties and the extent of their adherence to such principles.
