Obesity as illness of million people on all over the world is being investigated in many different clinical trials by many group of scientists. Attempt of revealing and understanding of every single factor which may influence on occurring obesity will take us many years. Obesity affects more and more adults and children each year. Most interesting trials of obesity are these which connect many disciplines. Psychological and neuropsychological data connected with biochemical, molecular and genetic results are important in completing etiopathology of obesity. Searching for endogenic substances influences on energetic balance leads to finding new rules for well known substances as cortisol or leptin. New interesting substances connected with nutrition are found also very often. For example, visfatin is compound which roles id pathogenesis of obesity is not well known. Observation of results recently published suggests that particularly interesting data are these where psychological and neuropsychological data are combination with genetic data. Genetic study among candidate genes as BDNF, DAT1, 5-HT2A indicates existence of specific polymorphism which predispose to higher BMI. Obesity is important and interesting for many medical and psychological scientists. Many aspects of obesity's problems are challenge for investigators. The results of clinical trials may give hope for obese patients for improving quality of life and better functioning in daily life.

The aim of the research was to measure the level and mechanism of discrimination against Roma and obese women in women's clothing shops in shopping centers. The method we used was discrimination testing (audit). The three testers were identical as far as their age, education and clothing style were concerned. The only difference among them was their ethnic background and weight. The result of the testing (N=51) was that both being Roma and obese significantly decrease the probability of being hired.

In this article, the authors respond to emerging articulations of the work of a pedagogue or pedagogical facilitator in early childhood education in Canada. This article is grounded in two intentions: we (1) share the tentative pedagogical conversations that we have as a pedagogue who centre particular concerns, interests, and accountabilities; and we (2) launch our conversation from our desire to re-imagine how everyday pedagogies shape children’s experiences with spiritual knowing and children’s relations with fat. Sharing a narration from a pedagogical inquiry research project, we each offer a familiar developmental reading of the moment, gesture toward a partial re-engagement grounded in post-developmental pedagogies, and then weave our thinking with spirituality and fat together to complex our propositions. We intentionally refuse to define the work of a pedagogue in universal or technical manner. Instead, we argue that putting our pedagogue work into conversation draws our practices into uneasy, difficult, often contradictory relations and makes visible some potential futures (and their exclusions) we enact as we work to answer to the complex education spaces we inherit and re-create with educators and children.

The present study investigates the association between obesity and body dissatisfaction in a sample of overweight and obese people. The risk factors of body dissatisfaction tested in the present research include gender, age, degree of obesity, and thin-ideal internalization. Methods: In this cross sectional research the authors collected a convenient sample of 189 overweight and obese research subjects. The sample consists of 99 females and 90 males, the mean body mass index (BMI) of the present sample is 30,6 kg/m2 (SD: 4,42; range 25,0-46,7 kg/m2). Measures include Body Attitude Test, Human Figure Drawings Test, Trait-Anxiety Scale. Results: Females have higher risk for body dissatisfaction than males even when BMI is controlled. Younger age increases the risk of body dissatisfaction only in females. In the first series of multiple regression analyses, BMI explains body dissatisfaction even when age, education and trait anxiety are controlled in the equations, however, there is a slight gender difference since the partial regression coefficients are beta = .37, p less than .001 in males and beta = .14, p less than .07 in females. Anxiety explains a large part of the association between body dissatisfaction and BMI in females. In the second series multiple linear regression analyses, thin-ideal internalization significantly explains body dissatisfaction in both genders (beta = .59, p less than .001 in males and beta = .32, p less than .001 in females) even when age, education, BMI, and trait anxiety are controlled. When internalization of the thin-ideal is entered into the model, the association between BMI and body dissatisfaction has diminished to nonsignificant. Therefore thin-ideal internalization fully explains the association between BMI and body dissatisfaction. Conclusion: Besides the objective measure of overweight, gender, age, anxiety and thin-ideal internalization increase the risk of body dissatisfaction. The authors need further research to understand the importance of body dissatisfaction, anxiety and internalization of the thin-ideal in weight management programs.
