Using projective techniques to consider the societal dimension of healthy practices: an exploratory study.
نویسنده
چکیده
A photo-elicitation and a collage construction technique provide insights into citizens of the United Arab Emirates' (UAE) awareness of the negative effects of fast-food consumption, the relationship between awareness and UAE fast-food consumption, and the discourses used by the UAE when resisting fast-food consumption. The study draws on two disciplinary backdrops: risk awareness and resistance to behavioral change. The findings show that risk awareness campaigns should not solely be linked to bodily concerns but need to develop messages that relate to the target audience within its social, political, and economic context. What this means conceptually is that health is no longer restricted to the individual microlevel dimension but rather emerges from the dialectical interplay between taking care of one's self and taking care of one's society.

Gorenstein projective objects in Abelian categories
Let $mathcal {A}$ be an abelian category with enough projective objects and $mathcal {X}$ be a full subcategory of $mathcal {A}$. We define Gorenstein projective objects with respect to $mathcal {X}$ and $mathcal{Y}_{mathcal{X}}$, respectively, where $mathcal{Y}_{mathcal{X}}$=${ Yin Ch(mathcal {A})| Y$ is acyclic and $Z_{n}Yinmathcal{X}}$. We point out that under certain hypotheses, these two G...
متن کاملCharacterization of projective special linear groups in dimension three by their orders and degree patterns
The prime graph $Gamma(G)$ of a group $G$ is a graph with vertex set $pi(G)$, the set of primes dividing the order of $G$, and two distinct vertices $p$ and $q$ are adjacent by an edge written $psim q$ if there is an element in $G$ of order $pq$. Let $pi(G)={p_{1},p_{2},...,p_{k}}$. For $pinpi(G)$, set $deg(p):=|{q inpi(G)| psim q}|$, which is called the degree of $p$. We also set $D(G):...
متن کاملGorenstein homological dimensions with respect to a semi-dualizing module over group rings
Let R be a commutative noetherian ring and Γ a finite group. In this paper,we study Gorenstein homological dimensions of modules with respect to a semi-dualizing module over the group ring . It is shown that Gorenstein homological dimensions of an -RΓ module M with respect to a semi-dualizing module, are equal over R and RΓ .
