Body positivity has emerged among young social media users with the purpose of enhancing a positive body image. In the social media environment, body positivity is frequently presented in the forms of female models' images and/or words that represent individual attitudes toward the female body. The media effects on female viewers' body image differs based on the viewers' perceptions of their own body size. This experimental study examined how body positivity and types of expression on social media influence women's mood and appearance satisfaction by subjective body size. We randomly assigned to 415 young and middle-aged females to one of six experimental conditions which contained three images and three vignettes, each reflecting non-body positivity, body positivity, and control. We used a 3 (body positivity: non-body positivity vs body positivity vs. control) × 2 (types of body positivity expression on media: images vs vignettes) × 2 (subjective body size: under/normal weight vs overweight/obese) between-subject design. The results of MANCOVA revealed the significant main effects of subjective body size on women's mood and appearance satisfaction. There was a significant interaction effect of body positivity and subjective body size on appearance satisfaction. The stimuli representing body positivity caused positive psychological effects for women who perceive themselves being in the under/normal weight range.

This research aimed to understand body-positive culture through the method of autoethnography. The researcher focused on the concept of positive body image and reflected upon and analyzed body-positive culture from their perspective. Additionally, the study aimed to identify and interpret body-positive messages within a cultural context. Ultimately, the research focused on how body-positive culture is being developed in our society. The research questions were, “How did the researcher come to understand body-positive culture?” and “How did the experiences of the researcher lead to a different interpretation of current body culture?” In conclusion, first, the researcher realized that the reflections obtained during the research process ultimately led to a study on positive body image. Second, based on the reflective research brought about by the sexual objectification of female body images, the importance of education about ‘body image’ and establishing a healthy body perspective became evident. Third, while reflecting on oneself within the culture, the researcher contemplated the memories of everyday conversations about bodies, the societal norm of appearance judgments, and why the perspectives of others are significant.

Park Insung,Suzuki Chihiro,Suzuki Yoko,Kawana Fusae,Yajima Katsuhiko,Fukusumi Shoji,Kokubo Toshio,Tokuyama Kumpei,Yanagisawa Masashi,Satoh Makoto 대한수면학회 2021 sleep medicine research Vol.12 No.1

Background and Objective Patients with position-dependent obstructive sleep apnea have a > 2-fold higher apnea-hypopnea index when sleeping in a supine position compared with a non-supine position. We investigated the effect of body pillow use on sleeping body position and sleep architecture in healthy young adults. Methods In experiment 1, we evaluated the body pressure distribution with or without body pillow use in 8 healthy young adults [age, 36.5 ± 13.0 years; body mass index (BMI); 20.6 ± 1.2 kg/m2]. In experiment 2, we performed a randomized-crossover intervention study to evaluate the effects of body pillow use on sleeping position and sleep architecture in 10 healthy young adults (age, 24.3 ± 7.8 years; BMI, 21.4 ± 1.7 kg/m2). Sleep architecture was characterized by polysomnography, and body positions were monitored using a sensor. Subjective sleep quality was evaluated with the Oguri-Shirakawa-Azumi sleep inventory, middle age and aged version. Results In experiment 1, body pillow use significantly reduced mean body pressure on the shoulder, hip, and whole body. In experiment 2, mean time spent in the supine, lateral, and prone body positions did not differ significantly between the 2 trials. Body pillow use, however, significantly extended the sustained time spent in the lateral body position compared with the control trial. Subjective sleep quality and sleep architecture did not differ significantly between the 2 trials, but body pillow use decreased the number of short (30 s) slow-wave sleep episodes. Conclusions Sleeping with a body pillow effectively extends sustained time in a lateral sleeping position and prevents segmentation of slow-wave sleep episodes.

박혜지(Hyeji Park) 한국질적탐구학회 2023 질적탐구 Vol.9 No.1

이 연구는 ‘나의 몸’이 생애 발달단계별로 개인적·가족적·사회적 테두리 속에서 어떻게 주체성을 확립해왔는지에 대한 경험과 성찰을 자문화기술지로 보여주고자 한다. 연구 질문은 ‘생애 발달과정에서 몸의 경험을 통해 나는 무엇을 성찰하였는가?’이다. 연구 방법으로는 자문화기술지를 사용하였으며, 연구자료 수집을 위해 자기 회상자료를 중심으로 일기, 개인 상담일지, 프로그램 기록물, 문예 창작대회 출전 글 등을 수집하여 연구주제에 맞도록 조직화하고 의미화하였다. 자료 분석 결과, 생애 발달단계별 몸의 주제는 ‘아동기-대단한 말괄량이의 거친 몸’, ‘청소년기-타인의 시선에 갇힌 부끄러운 몸’, ‘청장년기-사회의 굴레 속 인정투쟁의 몸’, ‘중년기-나와 타인, 그리고 사회를 수용하는 몸’으로 명명하였다. 연구자는 연구 과정을 통해 ‘수단화된 몸’에서 ‘확장된 몸’으로의 삶을 추구하고자 하는 존재의 변환을 알아차렸으며, 이를 일상세계에 적용하기 위한 자기 돌봄을 이행하고자 한다. 연구 결과를 토대로 아동·청소년이 자율적이고 긍정적인 자기 몸의 상(想)을 형성해 나가도록 지지하는 방안에 대해 제언하였다. The purpose of this study is to show the experience and reflection on how my body has established its subjectivity in the personal, familial, and social boundaries of each stage of life development. The research question is ‘what I have reflected through the experience of the body in the process of life development?’. As a research method, the auto-ethnography was used. In order to collect research data, diary, personal counseling journal, program records, and writings for literary creative contests were collected based on self-recall materials. Then organized and signified according to the research theme. As a result of the data analysis, the subjects of the body according to the stages of life development were named as ‘childhood - the rough body of a great tomboy’, ‘adolescence - the shameful body trapped in the gaze of others’, ‘the young adulthood - the body of the struggle for recognition in the bridle of society’, and ‘middle age - the body that accepts me, others and society’. Through the research process, the researcher has noticed the transformation of beings who want to pursue life from ‘instrumentalized body’ to ‘expanded body’, and intends to carry out self-care to apply it to the everyday world. Based on the results, this study suggests ways to support children and adolescents to form an autonomous and positive image of their bodies.

가상현실 3차원 UI를 위한 RNN 기반 몸 자세 추정 방법

성원준(Wonjun Seong),김병문(Byungmoon Kim),고박우(BoYu Gao),권진이(Jini Kwon),김형석(HyungSeok Kim) Korean Institute of Information Scientists and Eng 2020 정보과학회논문지 Vol.47 No.4

Providing intuitive and natural interface is crucial in virtual reality applications. There have been many studies on proper 3D interfaces that require the accurate tracking of body posture. Based on previous studies, we propose an effective body posture estimation method for 3D interfaces. In this study, we focused on the body-fixed UI, especially movements of the upper body. To track body posture, it is necessary to apply additional sensors such as RGB/RGB-D camera, magnetic/optical trackers, etc. The goal of this study was to track the body posture with conventional virtual reality devices only. We applied conventional HMD with head tracker and hand-held controllers. With these three trackers which are not directly attached to the body, an RNN-based method is proposed to effectively estimate the upper body pose. Experiments shows that the proposed method could track the upper body position and orientation within 5% of the error rate, compared with the explicit tracker data. The proposed method could be applied to design body-fixed UI or body-related interfaces without additional devices, which would enhance the accessibility of virtual reality applications.

Plus Size Models and Body Positivity: Focusing on Online Discourses around #Plussizemodel

박선양,윤소정 한국복식학회 2019 International journal of costume and fashion Vol.19 No.1

The body-positive movement is defined as accepting bodily appearance and challenging the normalization of thin bodies. One of this movement’s goals is deconstructing the body ideal. This has led to plus-size models gaining widespread attention. The aim of this study is to assess the online discourse on plus-size models by exploring hashtags(#) concerning plus-size models via text and network analysis. Netlytic, an open-source software program, was used as an analytic tool. The researcher collected 10,000 recent Instagram posts, each under the #plussizemodel and #플러스사이즈모델 (“plus-size model” in Korean) hashtags. The results indicate that #plussizemodel is frequently used in conjunction with positive feelings and attitudes and is highly related to body positivity. Plus-size models in English-speaking communities embrace the body-positive movement through their posts, delivering messages of self-love, body acceptance, self-respect, and rejection of body ideals. In contrast, #플러스사이즈모델 (Korean) is more associated with perspectives on the commercial market. The plus-size community appears to be much more popular in English-speaking communities than their Korean-speaking counterpart. In sum, the result sheds light on the connectedness of the body-positive movement and plus-size models.

Background: We compared upper- and lower-body forced-air blankets in terms of their ability to prevent perioperative hypothermia, defined as a reduction in body temperature to < 36.0°C, during the perioperative period in patients undergoing spine surgery in the prone position.Methods: In total, 120 patients scheduled for elective spine surgery under general anesthesia were divided into an upper-warming group (n = 60) and a lower-warming group (n = 60). After inducing anesthesia and preparing the patient for surgery, including prone positioning, the upper and lower bodies of the patients in the upper- and lower-warming groups, respectively, were warmed using a forced-air warmer with specified upper and lower blankets. Body temperature was measured using a tympanic membrane thermometer during the pre- and post-operative periods and using a nasopharyngeal temperature probe during the intraoperative period. Patients were evaluated in terms of shivering, thermal comfort, and satisfaction in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU).Results: The incidence of intraoperative and postoperative hypothermia was lower in the upper-warming group than in the lower-warming group ([55.2% vs. 75.9%, P = 0.019] and [21.4% vs. 49.1%, P = 0.002]). Perioperative body temperature was higher in the upper-warming group (P < 0.001). However, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative thermal comfort scale and shivering scores, patient satisfaction, and PACU duration were similar in the two groups.Conclusions: The upper-body blanket was more effective than the lower-body blanket for preventing perioperative hypothermia in patients who underwent spine surgery in the prone position.

‘반응하는 몸’의 관점으로 살펴본 ‘링클레이터 훈련법’의 특성 연구

이종무 청주대학교 학술연구소 2021 淸大學術論集 Vol.36 No.-

The Linklater training method is a method for breathing and vocalization training aiming to free the natural voice. I would like to note that the key aspects of the Linklater training, such as awareness and relaxation of the body, a sense of harmony among impulse and breathing and sound, the integration of the body and the mind, and the spontaneity and reactivity of the involuntary muscles of breathing and vocal organs, are very similar to the state of the “Reactive body” that is commonly found in the context of actor training since the 20th century. The Reactive body is a unity of body and mind. It is a body from which an individual's daily habits have been removed, a body sensitive to impulses and stimuli, and a body with openness that extends to others and through the space. In other words, the Reactive body is the state of body in which immediacy, transparency, responsiveness, and openness are flourishing. Through this study, I would like to emphasize that the Linklater training is a voice training for breathing and vocalization and at the same time a physical training for the Reactive body, which is a prerequisite for presence on the stage. I hope that this essay will serve as an opportunity to recognize once again the importance of the Linklater training and the necessity of continuous training.

Objectives : Rotation on vertebra body is common reason causing low back pain and leg radiating pain patients. The present study investigated analysis of the radiological findings on lumbar vertebra rotation between erect position and erect both lateral bending position lumbar AP views in low back pain patients. Method : The study population consisted of 70 patients(outpatients and inpatients clinic of the Dept. of Oriental Rehabilitation Medicine, Dong-Guk Oriental Medical Hospital in Bundang) who were evaluated with X-ray findings of erect position and erect both lateral bending position lumbar AP views. First, patients were measured erect position lumbar AP views by Nash-Moe`s degree. Second, patients were measured erect both lateral bending position lumbar AP views by intervertebral disc space at convexity region and rotation on lumbar vertebral body. They divided into four groups by type of Grice and Cassidy`s classification. Results : 1. The distribution of sex in the low back pain with leg radiating pain was male 30(42.86%) cases, female 40(57.14%) cases. According to age, 30-40s 23(32.9%) cases, 40-50s 15(21.4%) cases, 20-30s 13(18.6%) cases, 50-60s 9(12.9%) cases, 60-70s 5(7.1%) cases, 70-80s 3(4.3%) cases, each 10-20s and 80-90s one case (1.4%). 2. According to Nash-Moe`s degree by erect position lumbar AP view, the grade 0 was male 8(11.4%) cases, female 10(14.3%) cases, the grade Ⅰ was male 17(24.3%) cases, female 22(31.4%) cases, the grade Ⅱ was male 5(7.1%) cases, female 8(11.4%) cases. 3. According to symptoms, first, patients with low back pain were male 22(31.4%) cases, female 20(28.6%) cases. second, patients with leg radiating pain were male 8(11.4%) cases, female 20(28.6%) cases. 4. According to type of Grice and Cassidy`s classification by erect both lateral bending position lumbar AP views, the type Ⅰ was normal group 7(10.0%) cases, the type Ⅲ and Ⅳ were abnormal group each 15(21.4%) cases, 48(68.6%) cases. 5. According to abnormal group in Nash-Moe`s degree by erect position lumbar AP view, the grade Ⅰ was 39(55.7%) cases and then abnormal type Ⅲ, Ⅳ of Grice and Cassidy`s classification were 5(7.1%) cases, 33(47.1%) cases, the grade Ⅱ was 13(18.6%) cases and then abnormal type Ⅲ, Ⅳ of Grice and Cassidy`s classification were 1(1.4%) case, 12(7.1%) cases. So the relationship between rotation of vertebra by erect position lumbar AP view and type of Grice and Cassidy`s classification by erect both lateral bending position lumbar AP views had significant correction(p<0.05). 3 6. According to analysis of symptoms and X-ray findings by erect both lateral bending position at convexity region, patients with leg radiating pain were 28 cases. In the total of 28 cases, 25 cases had shown rotation of vertebra and intervertebra disc space narrowed at convexity region, while 3 cases didn`t have shown. 7. According to abnormal rotation of vertebral body on erect position, the number of group L4 was 48(32.7%) cases the most, group L3 was 43(29.3%) cases, the next group L2 was 30(20.4%) cases. Group L4, L3, L2 had significantly connection with fixation group on erect both lateral bending position(p<0.05). Conclusions : We concluded that the abnormal rotation of lumbar vertebral body had connection with the low back pain and leg radiating pain patients. So we must regard functional X-ray such as erect both lateral bending position lumbar AP views to early find cause.
