Note

they have a point though. you wouldn't need everyone to accommodate you if you just lost weight, but you're too lazy to stick to a healthy diet and exercise. it's that simple. I'd like to see you back up your claims, but you have no proof. you have got to stop lying to yourselves and face the facts

Must I go through this again? Fine. FINE. You guys are working my nerves today. You want to talk about facing the facts? Let's face the fucking facts.

In 2022, the US market cap of the weight loss industry was $75 billion [1, 3]. In 2021, the global market cap of the weight loss industry was estimated at $224.27 billion [2].

In 2020, the market shrunk by about 25%, but rebounded and then some since then [1, 3] By 2030, the global weight loss industry is expected to be valued at $405.4 billion [2]. If diets really worked, this industry would fall overnight.

"[Latest] Global Weight Loss and Weight Management Market Size/Share Worth." Facts and Factors Research. 3. LaRosa, J. March 27, 2023. "U.S. Weight Loss Market Partially Recovers from the Pandemic." Market Research Blog.

Over 50 years of research conclusively demonstrates that virtually everyone who intentionally loses weight by manipulating their eating and exercise habits will regain the weight they lost within 3-5 years. And 75% will actually regain more weight than they lost [4].

The annual odds of a fat person attaining a so-called “normal” weight and maintaining that for 5 years is approximately 1 in 1000 [5].

Doctors became so desperate that they resorted to amputating parts of the digestive tract (bariatric surgery) in the hopes that it might finally result in long-term weight-loss. Except that doesn’t work either. [6] And it turns out it causes death [7], addiction [8], malnutrition [9], and suicide [7].

The idea that “obesity” is unhealthy and can cause or exacerbate illnesses is a biased misrepresentation of the scientific literature that is informed more by bigotry than credible science [12].

“Obesity” has no proven causative role in the onset of any chronic condition [13, 14] and its appearance may be a protective response to the onset of numerous chronic conditions generated from currently unknown causes [15, 16, 17, 18].

Fatness was associated with only 1/3 the associated deaths that previous research estimated and being “overweight” conferred no increased risk at all, and may even be a protective factor against all-causes mortality relative to lower weight categories [19].

19. Flegal, Katherine M. “The Obesity Wars and the Education of a Researcher: A Personal Account.” Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 15 June 2021.

Studies have observed that about 30% of so-called “normal weight” people are “unhealthy” whereas about 50% of so-called “overweight” people are “healthy”. Thus, using the BMI as an indicator of health results in the misclassification of some 75 million people in the United States alone [20].

20. Rey-López, JP, et al. “The Prevalence of Metabolically Healthy Obesity: A Systematic Review and Critical Evaluation of the Definitions Used.” Obesity Reviews : An Official Journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity, 15 Oct. 2014.

While epidemiologists use BMI to calculate national obesity rates (nearly 35% for adults and 18% for kids), the distinctions can be arbitrary. In 1998, the National Institutes of Health lowered the overweight threshold from 27.8 to 25—branding roughly 29 million Americans as fat overnight—to match international guidelines. But critics noted that those guidelines were drafted in part by the International Obesity Task Force, whose two principal funders were companies making weight loss drugs [21].

24. Sutin, Angela R., et al. “Weight Discrimination and Risk of Mortality .” Association for Psychological Science, 25 Sept. 2015.

Fat stigma in the medical establishment [25] and society at large arguably [26] kills more fat people than fat does [27, 28, 29].

I don't like what you're writing!

Here is an informative post based on what I could find over the last week on rape fantasies specifically. I've summarized a majority of the studies into 5 sections, detailed theories, and why it perfectly normal and safe to consume content related to it.

Prevalence of Rape Fantasies:

Studies indicate that between 31% to 62% of women have experienced rape fantasies. These fantasies are complex and multifaceted, often mixing elements of eroticism and aversion (SpringerLink) (Psychology Today).

Theories Behind Rape Fantasies:

Sexual Blame Avoidance: This theory suggests that rape fantasies allow women to experience sexual desires without feeling responsible for them, thus avoiding guilt and shame (Psychology Today). Sexual Desirability: Another explanation is that these fantasies enhance feelings of being desired and attractive. This mirrors themes commonly found in romance fiction where a woman's allure drives a man to extreme actions (Psychology Today). Sexual Openness: The most supported theory posits that women who are more comfortable with their sexuality are freer to explore a range of erotic fantasies, including those they would never want to experience in real life (Psychology Today).

Impact on Rape Victims:

There is no direct correlation between having experienced sexual assault and the prevalence of rape fantasies. Studies have found that women who have been victims of sexual assault do not necessarily have more or fewer rape fantasies compared to those who have not been assaulted (Psychology Today).

Psychological Insights:

Rape fantasies do not imply a desire to be assaulted in real life. They are complex psychological phenomena that often involve elements of control, power, and forbidden desire, playing out in a safe mental space (SpringerLink) (Psychology Today).

Frequency and Context:

The frequency of these fantasies varies widely among women. Some experience them rarely, while for others, they are a frequent part of their fantasy life. The context in which these fantasies occur can also differ significantly, with some scenarios being more about dominance and others about submission (Psychology Today).

Dynatoaetus: Australia's Mighty Eagle

Paleontology news from the land down under, and big ones this time. How big? Well how about one of the largest true birds of prey of Australasia. Today a new paper was published naming Dynatoaetus gaffae (Gaff's Mighty Eagle), the largest known bird of prey to have ever existed in Australia. Twice the weight of the modern wedge-tailed eagle, it must have been truly an imposing animal to behold, in the Australasian realm second only to the enormous Haast's eagle of New Zealand. Comparisson below by Ellen K. Mather

But the name is a bit of a missnomer, well sorta. You see, while its referred to as an eagle, phylogenetic analysis shows that the closest living relatives of Dynatoaetus are actually aegypiine vultures. Or in simpler terms, those old world vultures known for their mostly naked necks such as lapett-faced vultures, hooded vultures and griffon vultures. Below some examples of this group by yours truly.

At the same time tho, despite being related to these vultures, Dynatoaetus didn't act like one. In this regard eagle is an appropriate term, more indicative of a lifestyle and morphology rather than relation (seeing as sea eagles relate to kites and philippine eagles are closer to these vultures than "real" eagles). With really robust hindlimbs and powerful talons, Dynatoaetus is more suited to capturing and incapacitating struggling live prey than it is to simply scavening dead bodies. And with Australia's megafauna offering a wide range of kangaroos, giant wombats and flightless birds it hat a lot to choose from.

Of course a bird of this size would not be above scavening either and with its power and bulk it could easily dominate carcasses when in conflict with the smaller Cryptogyps. Overall this lifestyle appears similar to what we see today in wedge-tailed eagles, which are formidable hunters but also opportunistic scavengers. Mather and colleagues even go as far as to suggest that the role of generalist apex predator was initially filled by Dynatoaetus and wedge-tails only managed to take up this nische after the former went extinct some 50k years ago along with most of Australias native fauna.

If you want an idea of things, here's some pictures of wedge-tailed eagles doing their thing. Now imagine what that would be like at twice the size. images by Clive Roper and Scott Bell

As per usual with these posts, here is the Wikipedia page I set up. Keep in mind the skeletal there shows the known material, but does not accurately represent the real proportions as its simply a colored griffon vulture. And the paper itself, its open access and gives more detail than I ever could.

Dynatoaetus - Wikipedia

A giant raptor (Aves: Accipitridae) from the Pleistocene of southern Australia | SpringerLink

And since you made it this far, here's a reward....or punishment? Idk depends but once I heard its name meant "mighty eagle" I couldn't get this goddamn clip out of my head and so you shall suffer with me.

Hi hi,

Please feel free to tell me to get lost, but I was hoping to get some tips from you.

I'm about to start my first big girl research paper. I'm very comfortable with writing, but I'm not so comfortable with research.

I was wondering if you had any tips for doing effective research, particularly how to keep your research organized (I'm a bit of a mess).

Of course, and I reiterate that I am always open for academia questions, and will answer them to the best of my ability. As ever, my advice will be fairly general in nature and broad in scope, since I don't know what subject you're working in and what level you're at, but I'll presume it's a university-level research paper of approximately 20 to 30 pages. (Or possibly longer, i.e. 60 pages.) But this will be applicable regardless of which subject or length you're planning on, and as a solid rule of thumb for future projects, so:

1. Choose good sources. I know this might seem self-explanatory, but indeed, not as often as you would think. Wikipedia is a decent place to start looking for bibliography/reading lists, but remember that by its nature as an open-access, crowd-edited source that prioritizes what is free rather than what is recent, it leans heavily toward out-of-date and older scholarship that doesn't represent the latest work in the field. Things from the 19th and early 20th century get cited often because they're in the public domain and there's no copyright issue, so if you base your premise on what Wikipedia says, you might end up arguing against something that's 50 years out of date anyway. Besides, you can't cite Wikipedia word-for-word because you need to give your reader the ability to go back and check your citations, and since anyone can edit any article, that specific sentence or phrase might no longer be there by the time someone looks for it.

Okay, so where might you get extensive and high-quality research material instead? Glad you asked! For starters, Google Scholar, JSTOR, Smithsonian Open Access, RefSeek, SpringerLink, BASE (Biefeld Academic Search Engine), and UChicago Journals are all waiting for you! Many of these will also turn up results without the need for an academic login, though to read full text for free, you will often need an institutional/university email (which I presume you have). Just plug in some keywords from your research project/area of interest and see what comes up. Remember that the best research is:

Peer-reviewed, aka published in a journal that is reputable, searchable, run by professionals, and reviewed by other scholars prior to publication, or in a book from an academic press.

Recent, as obviously, you want to argue from the most recent work in the field and not accidentally retread an old argument; remember, don't confuse what is immediately accessible with what is the most useful or relevant.

Connected to other research: are the authors citing other publications in their field? Do they provide a summary of other literature and explain how it connects with their hypothesis? Is it clear how this contributes to/answers a current question?

Timely and relevant, especially if it comes from a non-academic source such as a newspaper, magazine article, blog, etc. It's fine to cite these things in support of your main point, but remember that your primary source material should be up to an academic standard. Are you just citing Rando Blog From The Internet as a trusted source, or a newspaper article on the Wayback Machine from 1873, as one of my students did once, bless their hearts?

Complex and representing a variety of perspectives. Even if you intend to argue for one interpretation or version of events, as most papers do, you need to show that you're aware of competing arguments, and that you know how to foil against/contrast them with your main narrative. You shouldn't just be reading or citing things that only make the point you want to make; you need to demonstrate intellectual effort and an attempt to consider sources that may agree only partly or indeed, not at all, with what you're trying to say, since you will have to include and/or refute them.

2. Save your sources! Once again, this might seem obvious, but I have a damn doctorate and I can't tell you how many times I have done something stupid like looking for a source that I had super definitely saved or a page number that I swore I had written down, only to discover that... no, I had not. If you find a PDF that looks relevant, download it to your computer! If you find a URL that's helpful, save it to a Google/Word doc (and also make sure you label what it references, so you're not confused later). Make a file folder with the name of your project and put all your documents in there. Know what information you will be required to cite in a bibliography/reference list and make sure that you take down all that at the start. Truly, it sucks to go hunting for that one missing page number when you're almost done and you swore it was just RIGHT THERE.

Likewise, I have only listed e-resources above, but don't forget to go to your friendly local university library and tell the librarian that you're working on such-and-such paper about this topic and would like help finding material. Librarians fucking LOVE being helpful and teaching you how to best utilize their vast skills and resources, and they will load you up right away, as well as giving you tips on how to navigate the catalogue and subject-specific databases. That way, you will also have physical books to reference, which can be much easier than trying to chase up a lost e-version.

(No, seriously. Go ask your university librarian. Those are your tuition dollars at work and that's what they are there to help with.)

3. Plan out your paper and create an outline. If you're not sure how to do this, take a look at some academic essays/journal articles and see how they are structured. Keep in mind that someone should be able to read your introduction, chapter headings, and conclusion, and get the gist of what the research is about, its major findings, and how it fits into/supports/challenges the existing consensus in the field. The meat of the chapters are for showing your work and demonstrating how you got from A to B to C to D, but you should be able to convey the most important points at the beginning, the end, and the chapter titles in the middle. If you're writing, say, a 20-page paper, you still need to figure out the main thematic chunks and how it makes most sense to organize them. Are you trying to write about B before you've properly introduced and established A? What information do you need to give a reader who can be assumed to have basic intelligence but not much (or any) subject-specific knowledge? Are you using too much technical/scholarly jargon without defining it? In other words, what do you need to lay out, and in what order, to make a smooth transition from A (introduction) to D (conclusion?) Are you doubling back or referencing B too often when you're trying to move onto C? Etc etc. Obviously, there will be some overall overlap, but you can usually identify main subjects, sub-headings, and how it would make the most sense to organize them. If you need to, use color-coding or other visual cues to keep your groups together.

4. Double-check your required citation method/formatting. Different academic fields use different styles of formatting for their footnotes, endnotes, in-text citations, bibliographies, etc. I am a historian, so I use MHRA/MLA-style. Other academic fields might use APA, Harvard, or Chicago-style. It will save you a lot of headaches (and impress your professor!) if you check at the beginning what style you need to use for referencing and are consistent about applying it throughout. Also, yet again from the Department Of This Should Be Obvious But Somehow Isn't: make sure to double-space your paper and use Times New Roman or Arial font size 12, proofread/edit, and add page numbers, your name/student ID, and other supporting information to make it easier on your professor. If they want to tell you to double-check an argument you made on page 6, and there isn't a number on page 6, they will have to write it on your paper themselves and then they will get annoyed. Not, uh, speaking from personal experience here or anything. Make sure there isn't wonky/differently sized text or extra spaces/big page breaks, the first line of every paragraph is indented 0.5 pt (this can be set in Microsoft Word) and otherwise that it visually looks like a nicely presented and professional-quality piece of research. If in doubt, ask someone else to look it over and see what strikes them as strange/inconsistent.

(Also, use reference software such as Zotero. It will make your life SO much easier.)

5. Give yourself time to properly write. Yeah, sure, there are the people who procrastinate on their paper until the very last minute, then bang it out in a Red Bull-fueled rush and finish an hour before it's due, but that's not a way to actually do meaningful or useful writing, or come up with a product that you're proud to have your name on. Besides, you'll just create a ton of unnecessary anxiety for yourself and waste the time and effort that you've already invested, so... yeah, plan your time wisely and make space for drafting, revisions, research, proofreading, and all the rest. I usually had my papers in college/grad school done at least two days before they were due, which gave me time to read them over and check for errors, add more citations, or otherwise improve the finished product.

Basically, if you're serious about doing a good job, give it the time and effort that it deserves. If you're worried about getting distracted, there are browser add-ons/phone apps that can prevent you from mindlessly screwing around on the internet rather than working. Set a timer and work in chunks, then take a break, or whatever other method is best for you. You will have to manage your own time and nobody will hold your hand or babysit you, so have a realistic sense of how much you can accomplish each day and how that contributes to the overall progress/project timeline. If you're a slow worker, you have to plan for more time, and even if you're fast, give yourself a little extra just in case.

Anyway, I hope all that makes sense and is helpful, and happy researching!

social science disciplines

By Rachel Shannon

The two social science disciplines I have chosen for my topic are geography and sociology. When it comes to geography, the way to break it down is by understanding cultural geography. Cultural geography is the relationship between culture and place. How cultures are distributed over space, how places and identities are produced, how people make sense of places and build sense of place, and how people produce and communicate knowledge and meaning (Rogers, A., Castree, N., Kitchin, r. 2013). Cultural geography explores the different cultures around the world and their relationship to natural environments. It's important to study sociology in order to better understand social differences and social behavior. The relevance of social hierarchies and social power in everyday life. Geography and sociology go hand in hand because landscape has influenced society throughout human history. Before the columbian exchange, people had to rely on the resources from their own native countries. The land also shaped the way people think and assess climate change. Geographical bias is a common condition when it comes to understanding climate change. Studies have shown that the country of origin of a certain work or idea influences how the work is perceived. For example, products originating from prosperous and economically developed countries are considered more durable and trustworthy than products made in less developed countries. Also economically developed countries have higher quality education and are more aware of the significant impact of climate change. Geography influences ethics because populations practice certain religions and morals based on region. For example if one lives in Italy chances are they practice Catholicism, and if they live in Iran they practice Islam. These morals and religions impact people's relationships with the environment. According to Pew Research Center, of all religious groups, Evangelical Protestants were the least likely to believe that global warming is caused by human activity. Why are the most religious people less likely to care about climate? Sources “Research Guides: Human Geography: Cultural Geography.” Cultural Geography

Brak odpowiedniej ilości snu (mniej niż 7 godzin) negatywnie wpływa na poziom hormonów, zwłaszcza kortyzolu, który reguluje odpowiedź organizmu na stres. Zwiększony poziom kortyzolu może prowadzić do problemów metabolicznych, takich jak insulinooporność. Ograniczenie snu zakłóca także produkcję hormonu wzrostu, co wpływa na regenerację tkanek oraz metabolizm glukozy.

The liver and kidneys are two vital organs that work together to maintain homeostasis and metabolic regulation in the body. They communicate closely and perform many functions, including:

Excretion: The liver breaks down harmful substances and excretes the by-products into the bile or blood. Bile by-products leave the body in feces, while blood by-products are filtered by the kidneys and leave in urine. For example, the liver converts ammonia into urea, a less toxic substance that's released into the blood and then transported to the kidneys. Urea is the main waste product in urine and isn't reabsorbed by the kidneys.

Metabolism: The liver metabolizes glucose, protein, and lipids.

Homeostasis: The kidneys maintain homeostasis of water, electrolytes, and acid-base balance.

When the liver has broken down harmful substances, its by-products are excreted into the bile or blood. Bile by-products enter the intestine and leave the body in the form of feces. Blood by-products are filtered out by the kidneys, and leave the body in the form of urine.

In brief: How does the liver work? - InformedHealth.org - NCBI Bookshelf

Feb 28, 2023 — The liver cells convert ammonia to a much less toxic substance called urea, which is released into the blood. Urea is then transported to the kidneys and passes out of the body in urine.

Maintaining water balance in the body - OCR Gateway - BBC Bitesize - BBC

Urine contains water, urea and mineral ions. Urea is produced in the liver when excess amino acids. are broken down. Urea is the main waste product removed in the urine, as it is not reabsorbed in the kidney.

The liver and kidneys also work together through reflexes, such as the hepatorenal reflex, which helps regulate volume balance.

In some pathological conditions, kidney-liver interactions can lead to renal-induced liver damage or liver-induced kidney diseases. These interactions can be caused by systemic conditions such as ischemia and reperfusion, cytokine release, metabolic acidosis, and oxidative stress.

So if you're doing kidney surgery or liver surgery or you're removing both to get to something, then you need to put the person on dialysis. This way, you can remove any toxins buildup from the blood. Remember you put them to sleep. You don't want them to all of a sudden, not wake up. Because the anesthesia will build up in the blood. Why do you think people who do anesthesia have the highest rate of malpractice? They also have the highest cost of malpractice insurance. Because when they put people under, they might not wake up. And the reason for this is the build up in the circulatory system. If you're having difficulty reviving somebody sometimes it's good to filter the blood. So this is another way to save a life is to move the toxins out of the blood and add hemoglobin. So you would put them on a dialysis system. Removing toxins and then on the other side, putting in hemoglobin.

Liver dialysis is a treatment for liver failure that uses a machine to remove toxins from the blood and allow the liver and other organs to recover. The procedure involves:

Removing blood from the body through a vein in the arm

Treating and cleaning the blood to remove toxins

Returning the blood to the body

The filtration process can last up to six hours, and one or two sessions may be enough to restart a damaged liver. Liver dialysis can also help control plasma urea and creatinine levels.

Liver dialysis is considered a temporary solution to sustain patients until a liver transplant can be done. However, complications of dialysis are common, including hypotension, gastrointestinal bleeding, and intraperitoneal sepsis. A study found that dialysis is only worth attempting in patients where recovery of the underlying liver lesion is possible.

Anesthesiologists are considered to be in a high-risk specialty and can face costly medical malpractice claims. In 2020, anesthesiologists had an annual rate of 11.7 paid malpractice claims per 1,000 physicians-years, with 10% of those claims reaching over $1 million. However, improvements in operating room technology and education in recent decades have led to fewer anesthesia mishaps that result in critical events like death or coma.

Oct 1, 2020 — 3. Surgical specialties (ie, neurosurgery, orthopedics, plastic surgery) account for the largest rates of malpractice claims, ranging from 30 to 53.1 per 1000 physicians-years with neurosurgery accounting for the highest paid claims (13%) of over one million dollars. In contrast, anesthesiologists experience an annual rate of paid malpractice claims of 11.7 per 1000 physicians-years with a similar percentage of paid malpractice claims (10%) reaching over one million dollars. Malpractice claims can have even more profound consequences to medical trainees.

How high are anesthesiologist malpractice rates? Do anesthesiologists have the highest malpractice insurance rates? In a word, “No.” Anesthesia mishaps can lead to critical events such as death or coma, but in recent decades improvements in operating room technology and education have led to fewer such events. Prior to 1985, anesthesia malpractice claims for death or brain death were most often due to lack of oxygen the patient's heart or brain. Two significant breakthroughs arrived in the 1980's to help anesthesiologists care for you: 1) the pulse oximeter, and 2) the end-tidal carbon dioxide monitor.

The most common reasons for lawsuits against anesthesiologists are:

Complications from treatment and surgery: 48%

Abnormal injury of a patient: 27%

Wrongful death: 18%

In contrast, physicians overall are most commonly sued for failure to diagnose or delayed diagnosis, which only accounts for 10% of lawsuits against anesthesiologists.

Anesthesiologists also pay some of the highest malpractice premiums across all specialties. In 2022, nearly a quarter of anesthesiologists reported paying between $10,000 to $15,000 annually for malpractice insurance, and 17% said they paid between $15,000 to $20,000.

This is why you do liquid oxygen. You're not trying to inject air bubbles air into the bloodstream? You're trying to inject oxygen liquid oxygen...

Injecting oxygen into the circulatory system can be done in a few ways, including:

Microparticles

Researchers at Boston Children's Hospital have developed tiny, gas-filled microparticles that can be injected into the bloodstream to quickly oxygenate the blood. The microparticles are made of a fatty molecule shell that surrounds a small pocket of oxygen. Once injected, the flexible coating passes the oxygen directly to red blood cells before the gas can form bubbles. In theory, this method could allow doctors to safely inject oxygen into patients who can't breathe through their nose or mouth, such as those with acute lung failure or an obstructed airway.

Intracoronary injection

Injecting arterial blood that's been supersaturated with oxygen into the heart can increase oxygen levels in an infarcted area. Some clinical studies have shown that this approach can significantly improve cardiac function after 30 days for patients with large damaged areas.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)

In this procedure, blood is pumped outside of the body to a heart-lung machine that removes carbon dioxide and sends oxygen-filled blood back to the body's tissues.

So they can use this in combination with chest compressions. And they can still do breaths, but they should put up blood. Oxygen sensor on the finger to measure the oxygen in the blood.

What blood oxygen level do you need to survive?

A normal oxygen level for adults is 95 to 100%. “If oxygen levels are below 88%, that is a cause for concern,” said Christian Bime, MD, a critical care medicine specialist with a focus in pulmonology at Banner - University Medical Center Tucson.Oct 22, 2020

What You Need to Know About Your Blood Oxygen Level

See, this has been the problem with saving people. Is they don't measure the blood? Oxygen levels. And they might not get to the right oxygen level to be able to revive somebody. So you have to supplement through injecting either an injection or a I. V intravenous. So this has been a big problem with saving people. Even infants is they don't measure these levels. And now you can do heart bypass. And many other systems are in place that you can save people.... Yes, you can even bypass the brain. And keep the organs going, so you can work on the brain to repair it. So not necessarily brain dead, only temporary brain death...

So even if they're drowned and the brain can't start up again, they're not dead. Just put him on the bypass system. Keep Em alive and then repair the area of the brain that is damaged. No matter how long they been drowned for you can repair the damaged brain.... So people are only temporarily in that situation? And then you'll have to do rehabilitation therapy to retrain that area of the brain, so I'll have to learn again, but it doesn't matter if they've been dead for an hour. They're truly not dead...

That was a rectangular shape that extended out behind the body. So it didn't impede movement, but was narrow, so it didn't get in the way of arm movement..... As I told you, this is why the German soldiers had better survival rates because the helmet was better covering the brain better..... We redesigned our helmet after the German helmet...

So little lead that ship. That's sunk with all those children Drowned in South Korea. They literally could have saved them all... Yes, now all they had to do is put them on life support and then went back in and repaired any brain damage...
