Reason and Intuition01:37

Reason and Intuition

7.4K
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

Gain01:15

Gain

379
Gain and phase shift are properties of linear circuits that describe the effect a circuit has on a sinusoidal input voltage or current. The circuit's behavior that contains reactive elements will depend on the frequency of the input sinusoid. As a result, it is observed that the gain and phase shift will all be frequency functions.
Gain:
Suppose Vin is the input and Vout is the output signal to a circuit.

Binge Eating Disorders01:23

Binge Eating Disorders

433
Binge eating disorder is a significant mental health condition characterized by recurrent episodes of excessive food consumption within a short period, accompanied by a perceived loss of control over eating behavior. Unlike occasional overeating, binge eating disorder is marked by distressing emotions such as guilt, shame, and anxiety following binge episodes. The disorder affects individuals across different ages and backgrounds, with profound implications for physical and psychological...

Weighted Mean00:57

Weighted Mean

6.2K
While taking the arithmetic, geometric, or harmonic mean of a sample data set, equal importance is assigned to all the data points. However, all the values may not always be equally important in some data sets. An intrinsic bias might make it more important to give more weightage to specific values over others.
For example, consider the number of goals scored in the matches of a tournament. While computing the average number of goals scored in the tournament, it may be more important to...

Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 and Gestational01:22

Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 and Gestational

4.4K
Type 2 diabetes, characterized by insulin resistance, arises when the insulin receptors on cells lose responsiveness to insulin, diminishing the cell's capacity to take up glucose, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. To receive a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, a series of blood glucose tests are necessary to assess whether the blood glucose falls within normal parameters. If the result is out of the normal range, a patient may be diagnosed as prediabetic or diabetic, depending on the...

Mass and Weight01:19

Mass and Weight

15.1K
Mass and weight are often used interchangeably in everyday conversation. For example,  medical records often show our weight in kilograms, but never in the correct units of newtons. In physics, however, there is an important distinction. Weight is the pull of the Earth on an object. It depends on the distance from the center of the Earth. Weight dramatically varies if we leave the Earth's surface, unlike mass, which does not vary with location. On the Moon, for example, the...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Intuitive eating, which involves listening to hunger and fullness cues, was linked to lower gestational weight gain in pregnant women. This eating pattern did not affect babies' birth weight.

Area of Science:

  • Maternal Health
  • Nutritional Science
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Excess gestational weight gain is a risk factor for adverse maternal and child health outcomes.
  • Intuitive eating, characterized by eating based on internal cues, is associated with normal body weight in non-pregnant adults.
  • Understanding factors influencing gestational weight gain is crucial for improving pregnancy outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between intuitive eating and gestational weight gain.
  • To determine if intuitive eating influences babies' birth weight.

Main Methods:

  • An observational study recruited 218 pregnant women in New Zealand.
  • Intuitive eating was assessed using a validated scale (Intuitive Eating Scale - IES) at four points during pregnancy.
  • Gestational weight gain and babies' birth weight were measured.

Main Results:

  • Mean IES scores increased throughout pregnancy.
  • Each one-point increase in the total IES score at baseline was associated with a 1.7 kg reduction in gestational weight gain.
  • No association was found between intuitive eating and babies' birth weight.

Conclusions:

  • Intuitive eating is associated with reduced gestational weight gain.
  • Intuitive eating does not appear to influence babies' birth weight.
  • Further research is needed to explore interventions to increase intuitive eating during pregnancy.
