Gendered Racial Microaggressions and Emotional Eating for Black Young Adult Women: The Mediating Roles of Superwoman Schema and Self-Compassion

UNC Libraries · 2025-02-18

Black young adult women's stress experiences are shaped by intersecting racism and sexism. To respond to this stress, some Black young adult women engage in emotional eating, which may threaten their health. Yet processes in the association between gendered racial microaggressions and emotional eating for Black young adult women remain unclear. In the current study, we used cross-sectional online survey data from a 2021 national investigation of 504 United States Black young adult (18–35 years old) women (98.4% cisgender) to test if the superwoman schema and self-compassion mediated the link between gendered racial microaggressions and emotional eating. Employing a serial mediation model in which we controlled for sociodemographic and health covariates, we found support for the hypothesized mediation: more gendered racial microaggressions were associated with greater endorsement of the superwoman schema; greater endorsement of the superwoman schema was associated with less self-compassion; and less self-compassion was associated with more emotional eating. Results provide cross-sectional evidence of theorized processes between gendered racial microaggressions and emotional eating for Black young adult women and point to self-compassion as one potentially important component of health behavior interventions to reduce emotional eating for Black young adult women who take on a superwoman role.

The Mobile Antineutrino Demonstrator Project

2023-11-04

The Mobile Antineutrino Demonstrator project aims to construct a realistically deployable antineutrino detection system that can operate at essentially any reactor facility with no infrastructure support beyond electrical power. Through engagement with potential end-users and host facilities, this effort will advance the technical readiness of neutrino-based reactor monitoring concepts by enabling operationally relevant demonstrations. The project is motivated by recent technology development that enables antineutrino detectors to operate at the earth’s surface and the results of the Nu Tools study which provided new insight into the utility of antineutrino measurements for current and foreseen nuclear security problems. Specifically, a mobile demonstrator system has relevance to the most promising use cases identified in that study, Advanced Reactors and Future Nuclear Deals, and will incorporate recommendations regarding End-User Engagement and Technical Readiness in the system development process. In this presentation we will describe the mobile system design process, antineutrino detector technology options under development, and operational concepts for the mobile system.

Metastatic High-Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma with <i>BCOR</i> Translocation to the Pleural Fluid: A Case Report

International Journal of Surgical Pathology · 2022-05-16 · 2 citations

Sarcomas in cytology fluids are uncommon, accounting for an estimated 3-6% of malignant effusions. High-grade endometrial stromal sarcomas are uncommon malignancies, whose true frequency is not well defined. We present a case of high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma with a BCOR translocation metastatic to the pleural fluid. A 31-year-old female with a long-standing history of abnormal uterine bleeding underwent needle core biopsy, which showed a high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma with a BCOR translocation. In the months following her diagnosis, the patient underwent multiple cycles of chemotherapy along with radiation therapy, but had disease progression. She then presented with bilateral pleural effusions. Cytology from the pleural effusions showed single cells and three-dimensional clusters of spindle-shaped to epithelioid cells. The cell block showed many groups of the atypical cells. The histologic and immunophenotypic features were consistent with metastatic endometrial stromal sarcoma. Ten months after initial diagnosis and two months after positive pleural fluid cytology the patient was deceased. Malignant pleural fluids with sarcoma metastases are not common. Endometrial stromal sarcomas are infrequent malignancies and those with BCOR translocations are recently described with a small number of cases reported. Pleural fluid metastasis of high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma with BCOR translocation has not, to our knowledge, been described in the literature.

Visual infrastructures of Covid -19 messaging

INMATERIAL Diseño Arte y Sociedad · 2021-12-23

Infecting more than two hundred and nineteen million people internationally as of September 2021, SARS-Cov2 (COVID-19) remains a major health crisis despite the availability of vaccines in many countries and publicized guidance on effective preventative measures (WHO, 2021). To combat the spread of the virus, governments worldwide have found themselves relying on their ability to exert control over health behaviors in public and private spaces. Visual communication, which includes both graphics and text, are an integral component of how these behavioral advisories are communicated to the public. Authorities translate scientific information into digestible designs for the public to achieve effective understanding and actionable protective measures. How are governments presenting and assessing the effectiveness of COVID-19-related information? Are there opportunities to maximize communication and develop models using existing frameworks?&#x0D; This interdisciplinary literary review pairs three models of risk and crisis communication with an information design framework to analyze COVID-19 materials shared by international governing agencies. Crisis and Emergency Risk Communication (CERC) blends two popular disaster mitigation approaches to create a model that considers all stages of disaster response (Reynolds and Seeger, 2007). The Protective Action Decision Model (PADM; Lindell and Perry, 2012) and the Scenario Transition Model of Viewing and Reading (Jaenichen, 2017) highlight the importance of considering context when crafting communication to increase the likelihood of message comprehension under stressed circumstances. Design perspectives are incorporated through the semiological lens of Jacques Bertin’s research on effective visual compositions (Bertin, 1983). Graphics sampled from the websites of international governments are used to illustrate the importance of leveraging design and communication strategy when communicating about risk and crisis scenarios.
