RESUMEN
Resumen En este artículo exploro la dimensión afectiva implicada en procesos participativos orquestados por programas de inclusión social juvenil destinadas a jóvenes mujeres de sectores populares urbanos en Buenos Aires. A partir del análisis etnográfico repongo cómo aquellos procesos participativos, organizados en torno a repertorios afectivos vinculados principalmente al dolor, el malestar, la indignación y la solidaridad configuran un ejercicio de gobierno del género. Para ello, analizo las propuestas de trabajo institucionales centradas en que las destinatarias construyan "proyectos de vida" autónomos a partir de su participación. También las respuestas de las jóvenes a la producción afectiva orientada a la construcción de un futuro demandada por los programas como clave para su inclusión social.
Abstract In this paper I explore the affective dimension involved in the participatory processes orchestrated by youth social inclusion programs aimed at young poor women in urban Buenos Aires. Through an ethnographic analysis, I examine how those processes, organized around affective repertoires linked mainly to emotions like pain, discomfort, indignation, and solidarity, embody an exercise of gender government. For this purpose, on the one side I analyze the institutional proposal aimed at young women building autonomous "life projects" as a result of their participation in the programs. Also, I inquire into the young women's responses to the affective production that is aimed at building themselves a future, which is regarded as key by the programs in order to reach their social inclusion.

RESUMEN
Background: Eating disorders are more common in women, especially in teen age girls and young women are at greater risk as they are more preoccupied with their body shape and diet. Objectives: 1) To identify the presence of eating disorder risk among young females of 16-21 year of age 2) To determine association between eating disorder risk and body image concerns among females of 16- 21 year of age. Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study conducted among young female students; in a period of four months. Sample size was 1200 female students 16-21 year of age. Non- probability sampling technique was applied, and purposive sampling was done to recruit the study subjects. Data collection was done on two standard questionnaires: EAT 26 for eating disorder and Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ-8) for body image concerns. Data analysis plan was: descriptive statistics calculated, frequency trends noted for eating disorder, behavior problem, and body image concerns, Bivariate analysis applied to identify association between EAT 26 scores and body image concerns. Results: 58% of the students were found to be at risk of having eating disorder, whereas 42% were not. Behavioral problem was present in 72% of the respondents; whereas absent in 27%. Conclusion: Highly significant association (P-value 0.001) was found between eating disorder and body image concerns, in the study population.
RESUMEN
Eight young girls as an experimental group (E group) and another eight as a control group (C group), (all aged 4-5 years), participated in the present study to observe the effects of training from May 1992 through November 1993. E group performed a 915m endurance run on an agricultural road every day except Sundays for an 18 month training period. No special training was given to C group. In May 1992 (T 1), November 1992 (T 2), May 1993 (T 3), and November 1993 (T 4), both groups underwent treadmill tests in order to check aerobic variables such as heart rate (HR) and oxygen uptake (VO<SUB>2</SUB>) during the course of the training period.<BR>Times required for the run became shorter from summer to fall and from winter to spring (shortening phase), whereas they became prolonged from spring to summer and from fall to winter (prolongation phase) . Therefore, there was a definite seasonality of performance endurance. The rates of shortening in the required times observed from summer to fall were considerably higher than from winter to spring, and this was reflected in the significant improvement of maximal running speed on the treadmill (Vmax) and maximal oxygen uptake in terms of body weight (VO<SUB>2</SUB>max⋅ TBW<SUP>-1</SUP>) from T 1 to T 2 as well as from T 3 to T 4. Thus, significant differences were found between the groups at T 2 and T 4. HR levels during the endurance run were close to 95% HRmax regardless of the phase. Accordingly, the prolongation phases, during which circulatory parameters and ventilatory capacity were least improved, could be regarded as a preparatory period for the following shortening period, during which work load intensities furthermore increased the arteriovenous oxygen differences. Thus, when planning research on the effects of training on aerobic work capacity in the field, special attention should be paid to the season and the training period, and the timing of the examination for training effects, or otherwise, misleading conclusions could be drawn.
