Multi-modal on-body sensing of human activities
Increased usage and integration of state-of-the-art information technology in our everyday work life aims at increasing the working efficiency. Due to unhandy human-computer-interaction methods this progress does not always result in increased efficiency, for mobile workers in particular. Activity …

Sociocultural Influences on Body Image Across the Lifespan
<p>Body image concerns are prevalent in Western society. Sociocultural theories posit that the media are largely responsible for body image dissatisfaction because they have an omnipresent influence which consistently portrays unrealistically thin females and hyper-muscular males, which are then …

Compensating for On-Body Placement Effects in Activity Recognition
This thesis investigates, how placement variations of electronic devices influence the possibility of using sensors integrated in those devices for context recognition. The vast majority of context recognition research assumes well defined, fixed sen- sor locations. Although this might be …

Pollution effects on body mass distributions of freshwater benthic communities
… of the resilience of ecological systems to environmental change predict that the size distributions of species in ecosystems should have discontinuities that reflect similar discontinuities in ecosystem processes. Body size distributions should have many peaks and troughs (modes) for natural, …

Compact planar wearable ultra wideband antenna for on-body applications
The increasing growth in using body area networks (BANs), wireless personal area networks (WPANs), and medical sensors has given an interest in wearable antennas that are made for operation on the living bodies. Engineers have not stopped at creating a remarkable technology such as wearable …

The Effects of Appearance-Based Reality Shows on Body Image
… the thin ideal for females. There is strong evidence indicating that females who are more likely to make appearance comparisons with thin images in the media often experience negative outcomes. Research has shown that increased exposure to thin images in the media is associated with …

Effects of childhood family dynamics on body dissatisfaction in adulthood
… research has identified many singular components of family dynamics that affect body dissatisfaction in adulthood, but have not studied the effects of many different family factors simultaneously. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of multiple early family dynamics …

Polarization behaviour of on-body communication channels at 2.45 GHz
The advent of body worn devices and the use of them for a wide range of applications, from entertainment to military purposes, indicate the need to investigate to the behaviour of antennas and wave propagation on the body in depth. Knowledge and understanding and of the on-body channel can lead to …

Fitspiration Photos and Quotes: Effects on Body Image in University Women
Fitspiration refers to a type of social media that aims to inspire people to exercise using photos and/or quotes. However, while evidence suggests it can lead to increased exercise motivation, it has also been shown to have a negative effect on body image and mood. The purpose of this study was to …
