"The volume ?Appetite control? provides a comprehensive description of the mechanisms controlling food intake, and thereby energy balance, in the mammalian organism. During the last decade, research in this area has produced a remarkable wealth of information and has characterized the function of numerous peptides, transmitters, and receptors in appetite control. Dysfunction of these circuits leads to obesity, a growing health concern. However, the plethora of mechanistic information is in marked contrasts to an almost complete lack of anti-obesity drugs that meet the safety standards required for the chronic therapy of morbid obesity. Consequently, ongoing research aims to identify additional targets and agents for a pharmacological intervention. Thus, the mechanisms of appetite control as well as all agents interfering with its control are of considerable practical interest."

"Musik klasik diduga memengaruhi fisiologis modulasi melalui nafsu makan. Namun, belum ada penelitian yang secara langsung membahas efek musik klasik terhadap nafsu makan. Penelitian ini dilakukan secara eksperimental pada 36 tikus galur wistar dewasa dibagi dalam dua kelompok. Satu kelompok tikus dipajankan musik klasik selama lima belas hari dan kelompok lainnya tidak dipajankan musik. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna rerata jumlah makanan yang dikonsumsi perhari antara kedua kelompok (p = 0,148). Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa tidak terdapat hubungan antara pajanan musik klasik dan nafsu makan pada tikus galur Wistar.

Classical music is hypothesized influence physiology through appetite modulation. But, there hasn`t been a study directly investigating the effect of classical music on food appetite. This study was conducted experimentally to 36 adult Wistar-Strained rats into two groups. One group rats was exposed to classical music for fifteen days and other group didn`t get music exposure. The result showed no significant difference on mean of food consumed per day between two groups (p = 0,148). The conclusion of this study is that there is no association between classical music exposure and food appetite in Wistar-Strained rats."

"ABSTRACTThe recommendation and estimation of human energy and dietary requirement until today has been based only on the physiological needs of food nutrients. The fact that food is also an integral part of socialization process seemed to be ignored. In some communities beside having a social function, food is also used non-physiologically such as in religious ceremonies. It was hypothesized that for communities like Bali Island where food is used extensively for non-physiological purpose, such as in religious ceremonies, the present recommendation is still inadequate as--it failed to consider the food needed for that purpose. Furthermore it was believed that the quality and quantity of food used for that practice depends on the socio-economic status of the households.

The general objectives of this study was to observe the non-physiological. usage of food in Balinese household, in order to calculate the total food requirement of households for both physiological and social needs and to obtain information on the religious and cultural background or explanation of the practice.

The results of semi-structured interviews and observations on 60 households from two villages in Tabanan Districts, Bali, indicated that there were no statistically significant relationship between the quality and quantity of food used non-physiologically and the socio-economic status of the households. Based on the three alternate days 24-hour recall, it was calculated that the food used for' non-physiological purpose in terms of kcal amounted to 3.6 % of the total daily average energy intake of households in village Timpag and 4.1 % of households in Pandakbandung village. Based on observation, Focus Group Discussion and in-depth interview with selected key informants it was estimated that in term of energy, the average daily usage of food for non-physiological purpose for the whole year, were more than 641 kcal which equals to more than 7.5 % of aver-age daily calorie intake of-the sample households."

"This book addresses biometrics from a biomedical engineering point of view. Divided into five sections, it discusses topics including the influence of pathologies on various biometric modalities (e.g. face, iris, fingerprint), medical and security biometrics, behavioural biometrics, instrumentation, wearable technologies and imaging. The final chapters also present a number of case studies. "
