Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The secondary analysis of transcripts from a study of 9 women who used prescription anorexiant medications described in this article was conducted to discover the role that hope played in the women's weight-loss initiatives. It was found that hope grew throughout the women's weight-loss initiative but peaked once the medications were discontinued. Seven components of the concept of hope were described in the context of the women's weight-loss experiences. Characteristics of hope in women who have discontinued anorexiant medications are different than those associated with hope in other contexts. A unique pattern of hope, hoping to maintain a balance, describes the women's experiences as they strove to maintain the weight they had lost.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
