Childhood obesity and overweight rates are reaching epidemic levels, placing children at great risk of later physical and psychosocial harm. Screen time, in particular, has emerged as a prominent cause of childhood obesity in recent years, whereby several hours of continuous exposure lead to sedentary lifestyles, lack of physical exercise, and slower metabolic rates. Food advertisements on screens, disguised as entertainment, enhance feelings of hunger, increase consumption of highly caloric and processed foods, while suppressing feelings of satiety. Healthy hormonal and sleep patterns are strongly affected by intense blue light, heavily disrupting metabolic rates. Parental interventions are being discussed.
For women to reach their full potential, their right to equal pay must be protected. In my research, I defined wage equally according to European law, i.e. the right to equal pay for equal work or work of equal value. My study focused on case C-624/19 of Tesco Stores. My aim was to understand the effects of the preliminary ruling of the European Court of Justice regarding the case, studying the annual reports of the company from 2018 to 2023 and investigating in what way the specific case further affected the European legislation regarding the topic of wage cap.
As individuals, impression formation through non-verbal behaviors is an ongoing-process in our daily life influencing key decisions on how we perceive others and making sense of what we observe. In reality, non-verbal cues are emblematic and utilized by individuals in the sense of “reading” others and analyzing other’s body language as well as facial cues. The aim of this paper is to shed lights and assess the area of impression formation accuracy through non-verbal behaviors in three components. Initially, the term nonverbal-behaviors encircle diverse kinds of such behavior, utilized for forming first impressions. Additionally, multiple theories especially “the Attribution Theories” provide insight for analyzing the behaviors of others. Lastly, non-verbal behaviors are influenced by cultural and gender differences affecting the consistency of non-verbal behavior meanings.
"Eat Your Heart Out" is a sculptural installation combining 18th-century French opulence with contemporary overconsumption. Inspired by Marie Antoinette's lavish banquets and modern-day excess, it confronts viewers with a surreal composition of decadence. Drawing from Sofia Coppola's film and culinary sources like John Gies and Selma Schwartz, the artwork merges historical aesthetics with the bizarre, inspired by Salvador Dalí's "Les Diners de Gala." Created in collaboration with professional baker Alexandra Laffon Rizou, the installation features lightweight spackle sculptures, ethically sourced animal skulls, ornamental glass and silverware and recycled materials.
