Abstract:

What could it mean to be a physicist specialized in radioactivity in the early 20th century Vienna? More specifically, what could it mean to be a woman experimenter in radioactivity during that time? This dissertation focuses on the lived experiences of the women experimenters of the Institut für Radiumforschung in Vienna between 1910 and 1938. As one of three leading European Institutes specializing in radioactivity, the Institute had a very strong staff. At a time when there were few women in physics, one third of the Institute's researchers were women. Furthermore, they were not just technicians but were independent researchers who published at about the same rate as their male colleagues. This study accounts for the exceptional constellation of factors that contributed to the unique position of women in Vienna as active experimenters. Three main threads structure this study. One is the role of the civic culture of Vienna and the spatial arrangements specific to the Mediziner-Viertel in establishing the context of the intellectual work of the physicists. A second concerns the ways the Institute's architecture helped to define the scientific activity in its laboratories and to establish the gendered identities of the physicists it housed. The third examines how the social conditions of the Institute influenced the deployment of instrumentation and experimental procedures especially during the Cambridge-Vienna controversy of the 1920s. These threads are unified by their relation to the changing political context during the three contrasting periods in which the story unfolds: a) from the end of the 19th century to the end of the First World War, when new movements, including feminism, Social Democracy, and Christian Socialism, shaped the Viennese political scene, b) the period of Red Vienna, 1919 to 1934, when Social Democrats had control of the City of Vienna, and c) the period from 1934 to the Anschluss in 1938, during which fascists and Nazis seized power in Austria. As I show, the careers of the Institute's women were shaped in good part by the shifting meanings, and the politics, that attached to being a "woman experimenter" in Vienna from 1910 to the beginning of the Second World War.

Abstract:

Gender in physiotherapy education is somewhat ambiguous. Physiotherapy is historically a women’s profession, yet in recent decades there has been a growing proportion of men. The mass media portrays a masculine sporty image of physiotherapy, which notably ignores the presence of women. Previous research in physiotherapy education has shown gender differences in student preferences for work and career pathways. Gender differences in attainment in practice components of the course have also been demonstrated, with men doing less well than women and more likely to fail. As a physiotherapy educator faced with these issues, the aim of this study is to explore the significance of gender in students’ constructions of identity. Social constructionism was adopted as an underpinning theory in this professional practice research involving students from one cohort of undergraduate physiotherapy students at a university in the south east of England. Nine male and female participants were interviewed at the beginning of their second year and were asked to record stories about their experiences both on and off campus throughout the academic year using a digital recording device. Data from the interviews and audio-diary narratives were analysed using Judith Butler’s theorisation of gender as ‘performative’ to understand how gender identities were constructed. Foucauldian and critical pedagogical perspectives were employed to further interrogate the gender discourses that emerged. The findings indicate that gender was rarely explicitly discussed; yet participants’ gender identities were constantly negotiated through relationships that were not limited to the university and clinical settings. A range of discourses of masculinity and femininity were identified illustrating a profound gender orthodoxy in physiotherapy education that simultaneously demanded acceptance, assimilation or resistance. As a consequence, students in this study used a number of discursive strategies in the struggle to be recognised within physiotherapy education and practice. The implications from these findings raise questions about gender tensions and contradictions in the physiotherapy programme under scrutiny and about the pedagogic practices that reinforce them. In this context, there is a need to raise awareness amongst peers and managers of the possible sites of gender inequalities within this curriculum. Also, gender needs to come ‘out of the closet’ and be debated within the classroom and the wider social spaces inhabited by students in order to develop more nuanced understandings of gender within physiotherapy and healthcare. Finally this research indicates the need to provide more inclusive spaces within the curriculum for reflecting on the complexity of identity construction and for challenging its institutional forms.

Abstract:

The main aim of this work is to discover gender differences in value orientation of today's youth, and to analyze developmental changes and ethnicity in terms of the same. The research is based on the assumption that a person’s gender identity influences his or her value orientation, thus gender stereotypes are adopted also on the level of what is preferred by the individual, or seen as important in life.

In the research participated 118 young people from the Gymnasium in Subotica. The data about gender identity and value orientation was collected by a questionnaire, which was created in favour of this research. In the first part the questionnaire offered a list of gender related traits in order to define the participant’s gender identity. The second part was a list of opposite values, which was adopted from Jensen’s research.

The results confirm the general findings of Jensen and reveal that there is significant gender effect present in adolescent’s value orientation in case of eight opposite values. It also highlights that age difference between the participants doesn’t contribute significantly to a higher or lower visible gender difference in value orientation, but conversely it shows that ethnic difference is an important factor in it.

Abstract:

Vaginal microbicides are pharmaceutical products in development that are designed to reduce the sexual transmission of HIV in women. They are commonly known as a `woman-controlled technology' and tool for women's empowerment, and form part of a burgeoning field of clinical research into new biotechnologies for HIV prevention. Little work has critically examined how such research and new technologies are produced, and how they in turn contribute to the construction, maintenance or deconstruction of gender relations. Adopting a Foucauldian understanding of power and discourse, and using theoretical insights from science and technology studies (STS), this research explores the coproduction of gender and technology through the case study of vaginal microbicides. 'T'his account of the relations between science, society and technology draws on empirical research conducted in the UK and Zambia with the pharmaceutical industry, trialists, trial participants and trial communities. It interrogates the techniques of power through which transnational scientific networks are mobilised to test new products, such as microbicides, and how these affect scientific practices, knowledges and identities across socio-geographic boundaries. It attends to the potential multiplicity of interventions in diverse contexts, calling into question the presumed stability and singularity of both the randomized controlled trial and vaginal microbicides. This research makes an empirical contribution to knowledge about new biomedical technologies for HIV prevention, detailing the transformation that may occur when technologies travel from their site of development to their site of use. It provides a detailed analysis of the interaction between gender performativity and science in action, challenging the sense of `gendered' technologies for a `feminized' epidemic. Theoretically, it contributes to debates about the role of social theory in public health research and reconstructivist agendas in STS, concluding with a model for greater collaboration between health technology designers, evaluators, critics, and users.

Abstract:

Throughout the history of society, women have fought hard to have equal rights in relation to men in all aspects of life. This demand for equality goes on until today and even thoughfeminists around the world have made progress in relations to right to vote, to hold politicaloffices and equal salary there are still advances to be made. The world of sports is nodifferent. In fact, one of the recent achievements of the feminist movement has been to point out that sport is a strong cultural sphere where male dominance still stands solid. This study is based on a corpus linguistics analysis of British newspaper articles from the Wimbledon tennis Grand Slam tournament. Texts from both men’s and women’s tournaments from 2007 to 2017 were selected randomly from UK tabloids and broadsheets. This investigation tries to identify whether male and female players are still represented differently in sports media and furthermore attempts to categorise and classify which linguistic features writers employ. In addition, the relation between power, gender and language is analysed to perform a qualitative analysis of the texts and the reasons why these linguistic techniques were used.

Abstract:

Gender inequality continues to impose limitations on the progress of women in a number of ways. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine how female administrators have experienced gender inequality in the workplace in order to gain a better understanding of the barriers they have encountered. This study explored participants’ administrative background, experiences as an administrator, challenges encountered related to gender inequality, and what was learned (i.e., coping, strategies to address gender inequality). The findings revealed the main challenges participants’ encountered in the workplace were based on pay and promotion. Through this study, female administrators were given an outlet to express their concerns regarding gender inequality and provide their input concerning strategies that may be effective in addressing gender inequality in the workplace.

Galehan, Jordan N. "Gender and the Enactment of Suicide Bombings by Boko Haram." OpenSIUC, 2019. https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/dissertations/1709.

Full text

Abstract:

The Boko Haram terror group has utilized more women as suicide bombers than any other group in history. While prior research has examined why this phenomenon is occurring, and what makes Boko Haram a unique terror group, the present study examines how these attacks are being perpetrated, or enacted, by the female bombers. Utilizing the Global Terrorism Database (GTD), which is the largest terrorism incident database available, the study examined the incidents of female suicide bombings perpetrated by Boko Haram. The open-sourced citations provided by the GTD were compiled and turned into a complementary qualitative dataset. Overall, there were 151 incidents of female suicide bombings by Boko Haram between 2014 and 2017, of which 102 were included in the final sample for the study. Results of content analysis indicate that there are similarities between the perpetration of suicide bombings by females and other acts of crime, violence, and terrorist acts committed by other women, but there are also distinct differences. The cultural and social constructs of the region create a unique situation for Boko Haram compared to other terrorist groups that have deployed the female suicide bombing tactic; however, these features also make it difficult to flesh out the overarching issues of coercion, victimization, and kidnapping that the group heavily relies on. Though the ways in which the suicide attacks are enacted can be examined, at this point, it is still unclear whether the young women and girls perpetrating the attacks are acting out of their own volition, high levels of coercion, or a blend of the two.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation investigates the relationship between marital history and individuals’ retirement resources, namely Social Security, employer-sponsored pensions, and non-housing wealth. Prior research provides a foundation for understanding marriage’s positive relationship to retirement security, and suggests that marriage is financially beneficial and can even lessen some external factors that would otherwise damage a family’s financial situation. Yet changing demographics, with fewer people in first marriages and rising numbers of individuals experiencing divorce and choosing to remain unmarried, suggest our understanding of this relationship for today’s retirees may be limited. The purpose of this research is to identify which aspects of complex marital histories are associated with individuals’ retirement security, paying particular attention to gender differences. Using data from nine waves of the Health and Retirement Study (1992-2008), four facets of marital history are examined: marriage type, frequency, timing, and duration. Currently married and currently unmarried respondents are separated during the analyses in order to adequately capture the association between previous marital events and retirement resources. The results indicate that marital history is associated with Social Security, employer-sponsored pensions, and non-housing wealth differently, and that these relationships vary by gender and current marital status. The findings provide support for the argument that marital history, and in particular marital duration, has a strong relationship to retirement resources. Contrary to expectations, currently married women with longer marriages have less Social Security and pension income than married women who experienced shorter marriages. Marital history has no relationship to the retirement security of married men. For the unmarried groups, never married men have the lowest odds of receiving an employer-sponsored pension and have less non-housing wealth than both divorce and widowed men. Unmarried women’s retirement security is associated with the type of disruption experienced; women with multiple past marriages have more resources if they are currently widowed but less if they are currently divorced. Further study is needed to understand how and why complex marital history factors have a relationship to retirement finances, and to expand our knowledge about certain understudied populations such as remarried women and never married men.

Full text

Abstract:

Based on the human ecological pyramid described by Robert Ezra Park, the founder of Human Ecology at Chicago School of Sociology around 1920 (Park 1952; visualized by Teherani-Krönner 1992), Duncan developed his model for comprehensive research on changes in human societies. He believed that scientific analysis had to include the interplay and interaction of the following components: population (P), organization (O), environment (E) and technology (T). This research frame – POET - became known as the Ecological Complex visualized as a rhombus (Duncan 1959; Teherani-Krönner 1992; Teherani-Krönner 2014). Such an approach needs inter- and transdisciplinary research methodologies. Combining this human ecological model with theoretical and conceptual approaches in gender studies (Boserup 1970, Teherani-Krönner 2014) will open a new perspective to gender sensitive environmental researches. As the UNDP has stated: “human development if not engendered, is endangered”. This simple but far-reaching message of Human Development Report (UNDP 1995) should be taken more seriously into account in theoretical and practical work (gender mainstreaming and gender budgeting). The gender gap (FAO 2011) will be a roadblock to sustainable environmental development (Jacobson 1992) under climate change conditions. Therefore the POET model needs to be engendered. The paper will present a new concept and a methodological framework to discover natural and cultural resources with regard to climate change accommodation.
Trên cơ sở tháp sinh thái nhân văn có lồng ghép giới được xây dựng bởi Robert Ezra Park, nhà sáng lập ngành học về sinh thái nhân văn tại trường Khoa học xã hội Chicago vào khoảng năm 1920 (Park 1952; do Teherani-Krönner thể hiện năm 1992), Duncan đã phát triển một mô hình nghiên cứu toàn diện về sự thay đổi trong xã hội loài người. Ông cho rằng các phân tích khoa học cần phải bao gồm sự tương tác qua lại giữa các thành tố sau: dân số (P), tổ chức (O), môi trường (E), và công nghệ (T). Khung nghiên cứu này được gọi tắt là POET, được biết tới với tên gọi tổ hợp sinh thái, và được thể hiện bằng hình ảnh của một hình thoi (Duncan 1959; Teherani-Krönner 1992; Teherani-Krönner 2014). Cách tiếp cận này cần phải sử dụng các phương pháp nghiên cứu liên ngành và đa ngành. Kết hợp mô hình sinh thái nhân văn với các cách tiếp cận về lý thuyết và định nghĩa trong các nghiên cứu về giới (Boserup 1970, Teherani-Krönner 2014) sẽ mở ra một hướng nghiên cứu mới đối với các nghiên cứu về môi trường có liên quan tới nhạy cảm giới. Tổ chức Phát triển LHQ (UNDP) đã nêu rõ: “Nếu sự phát triển của con người không tính đến vấn đề giới, sự phát triển đó sẽ gặp trở ngại”. Thông điệp đơn giản nhưng hàm chứa này được nêu trong báo cáo: Phát triển con người của UNDP (1995) cần được xem xét một cách nghiêm túc hơn trong lý thuyết và thực tiễn (lồng ghép giới và lập ngân sách có tính đến vấn đề giới). Khoảng cách về giới (FAO 2011) sẽ là một cản trở trên con đường phát triển môi trường bền vững (Jacobson 1992) trong các điều kiện biến đổi khí hậu hiện tại. Do đó, mô hình POET cần được xem xét cả từ góc độ giới. Bài viết đưa ra một khái niệm mới và một khung phương pháp logic nhằm phát hiện các nguồn lực tự nhiên và văn hóa trong bối cảnh biến đổi khí hậu.

Abstract:

Drawing on a wide variety of social science theories, this study investigates the effects of tenure system, university climate for interdisciplinary research (IDR), gender, and industry experience on academic scientists’ engagement in IDR in different disciplines. Using survey and bibliometric data, two dependent variables are generated to measure production aspects of IDR: the self-reported percentage of IDR papers which is from researchers’ own estimate of their IDR papers responding to one survey question, and the calculated percentage of IDR papers which is a combination of two bibliometric indicators of scientists’ borrowing and boundary crossing activities. Results find that our conventional wisdom about the effects of some individual and organizational factors on scientists’ propensity to engage in IDR is outdated, and their effects depend on the disciplinary contexts. These findings suggest science policy makers, funding agencies and university administrators to keep fresh and informed about scientists’ research activities and underlying context and take full into account of distinct characteristics of different disciplines when they make or reform policies to encourage IDR work.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions that college age women have of social aggression and its consequences in their lives. Qualitative research methods were used to analyze written narrative responses to a question posed to women enrolled in a human sexuality class at Virginia Tech. Although 83 narrative responses were selected, 32 narratives that met criteria were examined using modified analytic induction. A coding scheme was devised and the codes were applied to each narrative and revised many times. The findings of the study suggest that the consequences of social aggression continue for months and even years after incident has occurred. Women indicated that their relationships have changed due to their experiences and that these experiences have made them cautious of friendships with women. Furthermore, many women acknowledged that they perceive men to be more trustworthy and better friends than women because of the "mean" nature of women. Additionally, women had a difficult time acknowledging their own meanness and attempted to justify meanness that they did acknowledge. Further research is needed to explain why women feel they cannot trust other women. Additionally, more research is needed to explain why women perceive men to be more trustworthy and why they perceive that men are better friends when previous research suggests that social aggression levels even out during late adolescence and emerging adulthood.

Abstract:

Stranger harassment has been a rising issue regarding gender equality globally. Nevertheless, this issue has been rarely explored in Hong Kong. This study aims at discovering its prevalence, the frequency of its occurrences, local women’s reactions toward it and variables that may determine women’s reactions in a local context. Both personal qualities, including gender-related belief, self-objectification and body image, as well as situational qualities, namely perceived situational norms, are examined. 350 self- administered questionnaires were collected from local women aged between 18 and 25, in either pencil-and-paper or online forms. Results showed that more than 80% of respondents reported experiencing stranger harassment at least once in their lifetimes. The frequency of experiencing certain types of harassment decreases as the severity of harassment increases. Unlike the results found by previous studies, active coping strategy has been reported as the most common reaction adopted by local young women, following by passive, self-blaming and lastly benign coping strategy. As for personal qualities that may determine women’s reactions toward stranger harassment, self-objectification has been found to be positively linked to benign and self-blaming coping strategies, whereas benevolent sexism, which was one of the measurements of gender-related belief, is positively linked to self-blaming and passive coping strategies. Situational qualities were also found to be related to women’s reactions toward stranger harassment. Among the three items that measure perceived situational norms, item B – ‘women should expect stranger harassment in that setting’ is positively correlated to all three nonactive coping strategies. Item C – ‘people nearby will help me if I experience stranger harassment in that setting’ was also found to be positively correlated to active coping strategy. Explanations to the relationships between these variables and women’s coping strategies as well as practical implications are discussed. This study contributes towards a greater understanding of stranger harassment and women’s reactions toward it, and fills gap in the literature on stranger harassment in the local context.

Abstract:

The purpose of the present study was to test the Emotional Stability dimension of the Big Five factors of personality traits theory to predict or explain a relationship with Employee Organizational Commitment, when the relationship between Emotional Stability (ES) and Employee Organizational Commitment (EOC) was moderated by Gender and AgeGroup. Public domain secondary data from the General Social Survey were used in the study. The three age groups under investigation were Millennials, Generation X, and the Boomer generation. A hierarchical linear multiple regression model was applied to test the hypotheses. The statement of the omnibus null hypothesis (H₀) was that the Emotional Stability dimension of the Big Five factor model of personality traits theory did not have the ability to predict EOC. Main hypotheses stated that there was not a statistically significant relationship between the moderated independent variable (IV) and the dependent variable (DV). Results of the full model showed that the theory-testing null hypothesis (H₀) was not supported (p < .05), and the Boomer generation contributed most to the DV (Beta = -.511). Recommendations were made for future research.

Full text

Abstract:

This study explores gender modeling specifically in avatar creation tools through the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV. The design of systems is often limited by the experiences of those who build them. In the video game industry; this means that systems are often designed by white, cisgender, heterosexual men. This demographic does not represent the wealth of people who play games and are subjected to these systems. The needs of marginalized communities, especially queer communities, in terms of affordances and representation tend to be overlooked or forgotten. This issue is apparent in avatar creation tools which define the types of bodies and identities that are allowable in the world of the game. Using Brenda Laurel’s research driven design tactics, modifications to Final Fantasy XIV’s current system were realized through a paper prototype and constant input from a group of self-identifying queer players. Both the feedback from these queer players and the modifications made to the prototype were condensed into a series of suggestions for the creators of these tools. Ultimately, I discovered that there are three key features which vastly improve the affordances of character creators for queer players; the inclusion of pronoun identification, the identification of gender identity, and the separation of both of these options from the character’s physical appearance. Designers who implement these findings in their work will contribute to creating environments that support queer identities.

Full text

Abstract:

Background Drug use has increased over recent decades, and is especially great among women and among people with mental health problems. To take advantage of the full potential of drugs and to avoid drug-related problems, drug prescription needs to be correct and the drugs need to be taken according to the prescribed regimens. Research on drug utilization is thus important to the public health. Aim To study the influence of gender and depression on drug utilization, prescription of drugs and self-reported use of drugs, i.e. adherence. Methods The thesis included two population-based questionnaires and data from the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register (SPDR) covering Swedish citizens 18-84 years. The questionnaire in Study I and II included items on prescription drug use and adherence to treatment regimens; Study II also included the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) for self-estimation of anxiety/depression. The questionnaire in Study III included the HADS and data from the SPDR on prescribed antidepressants. Study IV included data from the SPDR on all types of prescribed drugs. Results Men and women differed in non-adherent behaviours and reasons for non-adherence, for example, men were more likely to report forgetting to take the drug, while women were more likely to report adverse drug reactions (ADRs) as a reason for non-adherence. Further, both anxiety and depression were associated with non-adherence and with ADRs as a reason for non-adherence. In addition, men reported depression to a greater extent than women did but used antidepressants to a lesser extent, while women used antidepressants without reporting depression more often than men did, which may be a sign of under-treatment among men and over-treatment among women. Moreover, the associations between antidepressants and other types of drugs differed by gender; they were often specific, or stronger, in women than in men, which may be a sign of a gender difference in comorbidity between depression and other conditions. Conclusions Although the cross-sectional study design prevented confirmation of causality, the thesis found that gender and depression influence both prescription of drugs and adherence, and are thus important to pay attention to in clinical practice as well as research.

This action research is to explore the gender politice in traditional folk customs by working with a class of grade of four students in an elementary school. In order to help students discover the gender relations in and the impact on folk customs and activities, a teaching plan which integrates concepts of gender equity education into courses of folk customs is designed. The themes of the folk courses are two folk customs, giving birth and getting married. The courses intend to explore three unfair gender relationships: the dichotomy of gender, the women by otherized, and the concept of having a son to carry on the family name. During the teaching process, I found that I myself still keep integral and monolithic ideas of ‘women’. Also, there is unfair relationship by means of the operation of gender politics. In the research process, first, students see the gender dichotomy. After the course, most of them have learned to respect people’s choice about the gender. Second, though research participants do not care the female status in folk customs, they are willing to care about women’s feelings, and even provide them support to change their status. At last, students can easily identify the ingrained value of having a son to carry on the family name and find out it is the origin of gender discrimination. As a whole, students actively take a part in the course, and provide living experience instead of passively following the classroom teaching. As a researcher, course designer and a teacher, instead of putting emphasis on personal technical phase, I have learned to have deeper understanding in folk customs and the structures of the gender relationships.

Xiaoyun Jiang became a dazzling star in the literary world during the 1980s. However, she moved to the United States. She hadn’t written for thirty years until she retired from her working post. Her novel creating world was changed by her circumstances. In the eighties, Xiaoyun Jiang lived in Taiwan, so she stressed on the loving stories about Taipei’s young men and women in her novels. After moving to America, she expanded her novel created areas into Taiwan, America, China, and so on. Moreover, Xiaoyun Jiang described the differences between the two sexes, the separating and wandering families as a creating feature of her resumed writing novels. This thesis aims to inquire further into the crises, conflicts and correspondence methods between the two sexes from her novels on the basis of Feminism, various psychologies, and Diaspora theory. Finally, by studying the separated families wandering other countries to work hard and search for identity I hope to realize deeply the Gender and Diaspora of her novel.

This thesis, titled “Cultural Research on Yuan Mei’s Sui Yuan Shi Hua”, is to probe the composition of Sui Yuan literature community and its impact on the cultural form and literature development. The analysis into Sui Yuan Shi Hua is conducted from four aspects, “literature broadcast”, “readers’ acceptance”, “literature reputation”, and “gender identification”, by means of Harold Bloom’s “impact anxiety” theory, Robert Escarpit and Pierre Bourdieu’s theories in Literature Sociology, Roland Barthes’ mythology, acceptance aesthetics theory, and feminism theories. The issues concerning “literature broadcast”, “readers’ acceptance”, “literature reputation”, and “gender identification” analyzed in this thesis is expected to initiate a new realm for research on literature of Ming and Ching Dynasty. This thesis contains six chapters: Chapter 1 discusses the critique nature of verse, and indicates the relationship between verse and discourse. Discourse analysis is employed to discover the close linkage between Sui Yuan Shi Hua and “literature reputation” and strongly imply the “literature broadcast”. In this chapter, research methodology, research direction, and research scope are introduced, and areas that cultural research can supplement traditional research are discussed. Chapter 2 describes the formation and structure of Yuan Mei’s Shing Ling Shuo, and further proposes a new interpretation. Given the factors of “impact anxiety”, “model competition”, and “expansion of literature community”, Shing Ling Shuo tends to respect the readers, promote common customs, and emphasize diversity. The popular appraise gained from the readers has strengthened its foundation in verse, expanded verse writing community, and resulted in positive interaction with the readers. Chapter 3 analyzes the publishing culture from a practical perspective. The discussion on publication, marketing, and sponsorship of Sui Yuan Shi Hua concludes the broadcast and social contact functions of the book, as well as its significant influence on Sui Yuan cultural undertaking. In addition, the analysis provides keen observation to the literature form and laymen culture. Chapter 4 discusses the relationship between garden and literature broadcast. The analysis on utilization of Sui Yuan garden space indicates the advertisement function of Sui Yuan that offers literature exhibit, verse event, image broadcast, and publishing business. A unique linkage is found between garden and “literature reputation”. Chapter 5 discusses the formation and characteristics of Sui Yuan female community from a gender perspective. Yuan Mei devoted to awarding female literature, yet the in-depth analysis of the females reveals the hidden social and power issues. Male, as readers, have exhibited crisscrossing agitation and gender identification on female’s talent, gender, virtue, and fate. This chapter reexamines the commonly perceived edge focus and diversity concept delivered by Shing Ling Shuo from feminism perspective. Chapter 6, the last chapter, begins with discussion on an unexpected reader – Critique on Sui Yuan Shi Hua, to discuss the formation of Yuan Mei’s Sui Yuan cultural undertaking and success factors. This chapter also reviews the hidden ideology and blind spots in Yuan Mei’s broadcast-oriented culture from mythology perspective. The conclusion discusses a series of changes taken place in the literature circle that raised controversial issues concerning “literature broadcast”, publishing, reader, and gender during Ming and Ching Dynasty. The discussion is expected to interpret the text and writers of that era in a more comprehensive manner.

The purpose of this study is to explore the current gender representation brought by cartoons in Taiwan. Taking the cartoons rated top 10 during summer vacation in 2015 as examples, the study is processed from different aspects such as country of origin, sex ratio, role’s clothing, role’s trait, occupation and recreation to discuss the stereotype implied by cartoon. The research shows, the sex ratio of males to females is gradually becoming equal, as about 6：4, and if they are differentiated by nationality, overall the ratio of males to females is 6：4. The overall sex ratio among Korean cartoons is about 7：3. Among them, the most disparate ratio shows in cartoons from the United States, as the sex ratio of males to females is nearly 8：2, and only the sex ratio of males to females in British cartoons is 4：6, as women are more than men. In aspect of traits, males are easier to show positive images than women, and the most positive images were shown in British cartoons. The most negative characteristics and images were shown in the Korean cartoons, and Asian cartoons from Japan and Korea have more inner qualities than cartoons from Europe and the United States. Over all, they already appeared to have traditional images different from the ones in the past. As for the occupational distribution, the occupation of male roles separates very widely, as they often serve in high-level positions or being active in the public domain, but female role's occupation could not get rid of traditional constraints. Particularly, in British and Korean cartoons, there is also phenomenon of fathers carrying works and housekeeper in the same time, it shows on occupation, there is a trend that men are going back to home. As on recreation, women began to attach importance to life quality and stopped staying only indoors. However, men would also pay attentions on recreations that require patience and carefulness. On recreations, cartoons no longer stick to the traditional framework of gender.

Cognitive gender differences in mathematics, which were noted in past research have latterly been found to be declining. but are still observed at secondary school level in the field of spatial skills and geometry. However, due to divergent geometry curricula and the multidimensional nature of spatial skills, results from gender studies have led to broad conclusions being drawn from investigations which were affected by random elements. Research results have been influenced by imbalanced representation of the two gender groups in samples and also by differential gender exposure to previous mathematical experience. Both these limitations in research have produced outcomes reflecting negatively On females. Internationally divergent geometry curricula are a result of the traditional synthetic approach to the teaching of Euclidean geometry falling Into disfavour in western countries. Thus, Euclidean geometry has been largely overlooked in current educational research and the cognitive processes such as deductive reasoning, proof writing and hypothesis testing, have received scant attention within geometry teaching over the past decade. The standardized system in most South African secondary schools coupled with a uniform core curriculum for mathematics lends itself to an advantageous environment for empirical studies in mathematics performance. The present gender investigation involved almost an equal number of males and females from 5' selected secondary schools near Johannesburg in South Africa. Performance in Euclidean geometry was evaluated for possible gender differences by means of multiple choice and open ended questions. In keeping with most existing research, mean differences were compared. No statistically significant gender difference in mean performance on Euclidean geometry was found. Further analysis at item level was undertaken for the multiple choice component of the test instrument by means of the one dimensional three parameter logistic model in Item Response Theory, This model, is considered to be very sensitive in identifying differences at different ability levels -a shortcoming in existing research. Four out of a total of twenty Euclidean geometry items, were identified as producing differential gender performance. Similar gender tendencies were observed for all four items. The performance was in favour of most males for each of these items. Females of lower ability (as measured by the item) did not perform as well as males of similar ability level. In all four Cases females of higher ability surpassed males of a corresponding ability level. Perceptual difficulties in females were more pronounced than in males for some of the items.

This paper responds to the dearth of research into women's negative intra-gender relations and lack of understanding as to why and how these relations manifest. Through a qualitative study of women elite leaders' experiences in UK organizations, the research considers how gendered contexts, women doing gender well and differently simultaneously, intra-gender competition and female misogyny may explain negative intra-gender social relations between women. We consider micro-aggression research and women's abjection and offer a unique conceptualization of intra-gender micro-violence with themes of disassociating, suppression of opportunity and abject appearance. The themes illustrate how the masculine symbolic order shapes and constrains women elite leaders' social relations with other women. We conclude that raising consciousness to intra-gender micro-violence between women is important as a means of disruption; to facilitate women and men's acceptance of intra-gender differences between women; and to open up opportunities and possibilities for women in organizations.

Abstract This research intends to explore the phenomenon of "gender division of labor" derived from the way and process of selecting class official in junior high schools . It tends to discover the "gender stereotype" from students and mentors, so as to understand the effect of "gender equality education" implemented in Taiwan's junior high schools . This qualitative research is based on the "in-depth interview method". It interviews 20 students and 10 tutors from a junior high school in Wuri District . Supplemented by the "observation research method" to find the interaction between students and students in the junior high school. The "content analysis method" is also used to analyze interview data, as well as government and school related documents. The research’s major findings are: I. The selection of some class officials presents the phenomenon of “gender division of labor”. The most obvious one is that the study and art official is mostly female, and the library official is mostly male. II. There was no "gender stereotype " phenomenon when class leaders were elected. III. The students believe that the main trait of boys is "more energetic", and the main trait of girls is "more attentive." IV. Most of the tutors do not have “gender stereotype”, although some female tutors are found to be better at breaking loose from “gender stereotype” than male tutors. V. Compare to the female tutors, male tutors interviewed agreed to that boys are "more energertic and active” and girls are "more attentive and responsible. VI. Compared to male tutors, female tutors interviewed are capable to break loose from the "gender stereotype" and truly discover the students' potential.

This research tries to realize the behavior of MMORPG players’ gender switching by the means of qualitative and quantitative. Therefore, through Web-based Survey, the first part of this research is to know the relation between the act of switching and players’ demography variable, sex role, and the motive of switching. The second part is to employ in-depth interviews to understand how players portray the other sex and how they recognize the other sex, which could be related to the sex role stereotype. According to the result of quantitative report, there are eight hundred questionnaires available. Most MMORPG gender-switching players are male, mostly students aging from sixteen to thirty. Players, who are more experienced, whether male or female, are more likely to switch gender. Whether the appearance of the role in the game is good-looking is the biggest motivation of switching. Female players with more masculinity are apt to gender-switching because of social interaction, while male players with less masculinity are more liable to gender-switching. On the other hand, the result of qualitative report shows all nine interviewees, no matter male or female, have obvious stereotype about the other sex in description of the characters’ appearances, careers, and personalities. Even if these players have experienced gender switching, they still cannot change the traditional aspects of gender stereotype. For example, male players consider female roles to be slim, sexy, and fair, and female players think male roles fit attacking careers like warriors the best. However, compared to male players, female players allow the roles to have more flexibility. As a result, there is still a lot of space for both male and female players to improve in terms of gender equality.

This research is to look into complications through dynamic disease network of gender and age, every occurrence of disease may be affected by the differentials of age or gender. Use this dynamic network to show varied complications among all age within each gender. An emerge of a certain disease may be more than a complication of another disease, previously gotten diseases may lead to its emergence. Therefore, we applied McNemar's test to observe correlations between each disease, and skewness test to obtain theirdirection. The cleaning of male genital organ requires attention, it has impacts upon the occurrence of genital organs related diseases in the future. As age increases, male may have benign prostatic hyperplasia related diseases at mid ages. While menstruated issues have always been a concern of female's, not until old ages will these problems be solved, yet elders have to deal with amenorrhea.
