Cannibalism, Fertility, and the Role of Food in Margaret Artwood’s The Edible Woman by Stevan Mijomanović

“…However, the scope of this novel stretches to other concepts relevant to the present day: obsession with ‘size zero’, following the latest trends, living in the fast lane, etc.; these concepts are depicted through metaphorical extensions such as cannibalism and fertility. …”

Are daughters' childbearing intentions related to their mothers' socio-economic status? by Maria Rita Testa, Valeria Bordone, Beata Osiewalska, Vegard Skirbekk

“…<b>Methods</b>: Using the first wave of the Generations and Gender Survey for four countries (Austria, Bulgaria, Italy, and Norway), we analyse the relationship between mother's socio-economic status and daughter's fertility intentions, controlling for daughter's socio-economic status and sibship size. Zero-inflated Poisson regression models are employed to estimate the predictors of women's additionally intended number of children. …”

Activated polymeric materials for phosphorus removal in aqueous medium: Study of kinetics and adsorption isotherm by Aydeé Kari-Ferro, Aydeé M. Solano-Reynoso, Celinda Alvarez-Arias, Nora Gladis Echegaray-Peña, David Choque-Quispe

“…The study aimed to evaluate the phosphorus adsorption potential in aqueous media at pH 5, 6, and 8 through citric acid esterified cellulose nanocrystals (NCC), NaCl activated clay (AA), and atomized Nostoc sphaericum hydrocolloid (NS-AH). ζ potential, particle size, zero charge point, total inorganic carbon, TGA, DSC, XRD, and FTIR analysis of the adsorbent materials were determined. …”
