Full text
Abstract:
The current study sought to test the existence of a phenomenon known as sensory-specific satiety, in which attentional bias for food cues is specifically diminished for a consumed food, and the role of gender in such biases. In order to do so, the experiment used a version of the Flanker Task in which participants were shown image groups containing a target image and congruent or incongruent distracting flanker images. Participants (17 males, 22 females) were randomly assigned to consume one of two foods depicted in the flanker task (Ritz Bitz sandwiches or miniature Golden Oreos). Results did not support the idea of sensory-specific satiety, as we found a general reduction in reaction time rather than interactions in target/flanker congruency, suggesting that task performance was not driven by attentional bias to the food cues. However, there was an interesting interaction effect for session, consumption, and gender, such that women were faster than men for the consumed food post-satiety. Results may be explained by differences in motivation potentially caused by dissimilarities in dopamine levels. Additionally, results of the current experiment in combination with previous research could provide insight on gender differences in obesity.

Abstract:
This project analyzed gender and color-specific differences in event-related potentials (ERPs). Previous studies have shown that males process color differently than females. In a recent study, sex differences were found in ERPs during a visual object recognition task. There were higher EEG amplitudes in females (especially P300) than males. Significant sex and color-specific differences have been found in diseases involving altered dopamine (DA) machinery. Thus, we analyzed differences between ERPs in males vs females during a color task. We also compared the color-specific differences in ERPs between males and females. Males and females participated in EEG recording sessions for 2 color studies during a color-go-no-go task, where two studies examined the gender and color-specific differences in ERPs, respectively. Data from 32 males and 24 females and 21 females and 31 males, respectively, in two color studies demonstrated significant sex-specific differences in ERPs during a color-go-no-go task. Males consistently showed higher EEG amplitudes (particularly P300) than females, which is contradictory to what we demonstrated previously in the object recognition task, indicating different color processing systems in males and females. Regarding color-specific differences, no significant differences were found in P300s between the three colors red, green and blue in males and females when each color was the relevant stimulus, suggesting that color is not a marker for inducing ERPs in normal subjects. These studies will provide the impetus to compare patients having altered DA mechanisms such as in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Parkinson's, or chemical addiction.

Abstract:
The problem of incest is beginning to receive a recognition and research attention long overdue. Becoming more evident is the prevalence and far reaching effects of incest. Currently, little distinction is made between the treatment approach for males and females, yet research indicates differences between the two sexes. This study explores possible differences between male and female incest victims in (1) their moral ethic, (2) their self-definition, (3) the basis from which they felt compelled to comply with the incestuous abuse, (4) the reasons they believed the sexual abuse was right or wrong, (5) the reasons for telling someone or keeping the incest a secret, (6) how they decided whether or not they made the right choice, (7) the manner in which they have changed since the abuse began, (8) the content and degree of their own guilt and/or lowered esteem, and (9) the ideas they have of changes which could have prevented the abuse.

Full text
Abstract:
The survival of motor neurons is controlled by multiple factors, which regulate different aspects of their physiology. The identification of these factors is important because of their relevance for motor neuron disease. This thesis began with a search for novel growth factors that naturally keep these neurons alive. Members of the TGF-β superfamily, including Mullerian inhibiting substance (MIS) and bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP6), were identified as putative survival factors following a cDNA microarray analysis of a mouse model of motor neuron disease. MIS is a gonad-derived hormone with a male bias. It induces the degeneration of the female reproductive tract during development and it was thought to have no physiological function outside of the reproductive system. In this thesis, multiple techniques were used to show that adult motor neurons produce MIS and its receptors. The copy number of MIS mRNA in motor neurons was comparable with that of the testis, whereas the mRNA of the MIS type II receptor (MISRII) in motor neurons appeared to be the most abundant receptor of the TGF-β superfamily. These results were confirmed using Western blot and immunohistochemistry. Thus, MIS may exert its function through an autocrine or a paracrine mechanism between neighbouring motor neurons. The function of MIS was examined using a culture system and a mouse null mutation of MISRII. The in vitro assays showed strong neurotrophic effects of MIS on embryonic motor neurons with the maximum extent of survival being similar to that achieved by the classical motor neuron survival factor, GDNF. MIS has a male bias in utero raising the issue of whether motor neurons are sexually dimorphic. Consistent with this, the number of motor neurons in the lumbar lateral motor column of neonatal male MISRII+/+ mice was 13 % greater than in female mice (P = 0.01). The nuclei of male motor neurons were approximately 20 % larger than their female counterparts (P = 0.000). MISRII-/- male mice had 18 % fewer motor neurons than wild-type males (P = 0.01) and the mean size of their motor neurons was 20 % smaller (P = 0.000). The number and size of motor neurons in the MISRII-/- males was not different to those of MISRII+/+ females. These results implicate MIS as being responsible for neuronal survival as well as producing sexual dimorphism of the limb innervating motor neurons. Since MIS does not appear to be expressed in the embryonic neuromuscular system, it is postulated that MIS is a gonad-derived neurotrophic factor for developing motor neurons. The BMP type II receptor (BMPRII) was the second most abundant receptor of the TGF-β superfamily expressed by motor neurons. One of its ligands, BMP6, was found to have a neurotrophic effect on motor neurons in culture but was slightly less potent than MIS. BMP6 mRNA was detected in nerve, skeletal muscle and spinal cord, but not in motor neurons. BMP6 immunoreactivity was mainly associated with the myelinated Schwann cells and satellite glia that surround motor neurons. In skeletal muscles, immunoreactivity was not detected in muscle fibers, nor the postsynaptic region of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). BMP6 was, however, associated with the interstitial cells of skeletal muscles. Double nerve ligations were used to examine whether Schwann cell-derived BMP6 interacts with motor neurons. Consistent with this, BMP6 was retrogradely transported in motor axons. These observations collectively suggest that BMP6 is a glia-derived regulator of motor neurons. MIS and minority of BMP6 were anterogradely transported towards the NMJ. Their receptors, MISRII and BMPRII, were detected in the postsynaptic portions of the adult NMJ. These observations raised the possibility that MIS and BMP6 may be regulators of the adult NMJ. Since functional redundancy amongst the members of the TGF-β superfamily has been suggested, the function of MIS/BMP6 signaling at the NMJ was therefore examined in mice with muscle-specific deletion of Smad4, a central mediator of TGF-β superfamily pathways. More than 75% of animals lacking Smad4 in muscles died before embryonic day (E) 14 and none survived postnally. This was due to the loss of functional Smad4 in developing cardiac myocytes, which resulted in severe heart defects and early death of embryos. Thus, the function of MIS/BMP6 signaling at the adult NMJ could not be studied. Finally, this thesis briefly examined the phenotypes of mice carrying double null mutations of MISRII and TGF-β2. The animals died at an early stage and showed a more severe phenotype than either of the single null mutants. This suggests that functional redundancy among members of the TGF-β superfamily exists in many organs. In summary, motor neurons require multiple sources of growth factors for their survival. MIS and BMP6 were discovered as novel survival factors for motor neurons in this study. MIS was implicated as a regulator of sexual dimorphism in developing motor neurons, whereas both MIS and BMP6 appear to regulate mature motor neurons, and possibly the NMJ.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research was first, to identify why males sexually abused as children under-report their experiences of child sexual abuse. Secondly, the disclosure experiences of males sexually abused as children were examined and analyzed, with a particular emphasis placed on exploring the links between low disclosure rates, gender role socialization, and homophobia. Qualitative data were gathered during semi-structured interviews of men sexually abused during childhood. Issues and themes arising during interviews were generally consistent with those identified in the literature. However, the sample size was small and additional research---employing larger samples---should be completed in order to collect further qualitative data regarding the disclosure experiences of males sexually abused as children. Despite its limitations, this research does provide valuable insight into the experience of disclosure for male victims of child sexual abuse.

Full text
Abstract:
Territoriality in the flesh fly, Sarcophaga crassipalpis (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) was studied in the laboratory. In rectangular enclosures, male flies exhibited a lower tolerance (occupation of the same physical space) of same-sex conspecifics than did female flies. In circular arenas, male flies showed significantly higher levels of spatial separation among themselves (as determined from nearest neighbor analyses) than did females: males were distributed uniformly whereas females were nearly random. The male spatial behavior occurred during the photophase but not the scotophase of light-dark cycles, suggesting that visual cues are required for maintenance of inter-individual spacing. No significant differences in male spacing behavior occurred between subjective day and subjective night in either constant dark or constant light conditions, suggesting that spatial patterning is not driven by a circadian rhythm.

Abstract:
Schistosomiasis, a disease of humans caused by helminth parasites of the genus Schistosoma, kills 200 to 500 thousand people annually, endangering over 600 million people world-wide with 200 million people infected in 2003 [1, 2]. Three species of schistosome are primarily responsible for human infections, namely, Schistosoma haematobium, endemic to Africa, India, and the Middle East, S. mansoni, endemic to Africa / South America, and S. japonicum endemic to China and the Philippines [3]. The major pathological effects of schistosomiasis result from the deposition of parasite ova in human tissues and the subsequent intense granulomatous response induced by these eggs. There is a high priority to provide an effective sub-unit vaccine against these schistosome flukes, using proteins encoded by cDNAs expressed by the parasites at critical phases of their development. One technique that may expedite this gene identification is the use of microarrays for expression analysis. A 22,575 feature custom oligonucleotide DNA microarray designed from public domain databases of schistosome ESTs (Expressed Sequence Tags) was used to explore differential gene expression between the Philippine (SJP) and Chinese (SJC) strains of S. japonicum, and between males and females. It was found that 593, 664 and 426 probes were differentially expressed between the two geographical strains when mix sexed adults, male worms and female worms were compared respectively. Additionally, the study revealed that 1,163 male- and 1,016 female-associated probes were differentially expressed in SJP whereas 1,047 male- and 897 female-associated probes were differentially expressed in SJC [4]. Further to this, a detailed real time PCR expression study was used to explore the differential expression of eight genes of interest throughout the SJC life cycle, which showed that several of the genes were down-regulated in different life cycle stages. The study has greatly expanded previously published data of strain and gender-associated differential expression in S. japonicum. Further, the new data will provide a stepping stone for understanding the complexities of the biology, sexual differentiation, maturation, and development of human schistosomes, signaling new approaches for identifying novel intervention and diagnostic targets against schistosomiasis [4].

Abstract:
The objectives of this research were to test treatment and survival differences between women and men with lung cancer as there is minimal investigation in the literature. Three research questions were developed with statistical testing for gender differences based on similar cancer type, stage, treatment assignment and survival. Data for 44,863 primary lung cancer cases were collected from eight U.S. state-based cancer registries to investigate the research questions. The lung cancer incidence data included the morphological cell-types of adenocarcinoma (AC); squamous cell carcinoma (SCC); large cell carcinoma (LCC) and small cell carcinoma (SCC). Stage, grade, treatment type, as well as, individual characteristics such as gender, age at diagnosis, marital status at diagnosis and race were other variables obtained to be included in the statistical models. Reporting the overall effect for lung cancer gender specific treatment differences or survival has not been demonstrated in the literature to the author's knowledge. By convention, main effects and interaction effects are reported in the literature; without including an evaluation the overall effect of a variable on the outcome, possible misinterpretations could be made. For example, utilizing the Cox's Proportional Hazards model when the interaction effect of gender and treatment type received was examined, females were at an increased risk for death by as much 29% as compared to males (HR = 1.18, 95% CI 1.09 - 1.29). But when the gender effect on survival was assessed, there was an increase in females survivorship as compared to males by as much as 28% (HR = 0.80, 95% CI 0.72 - 0.97 ). In conclusion, by using a unique statistical approach, statistically significant Odds Ratios and Hazard Ratios were demonstrated for the research data set when the overall interaction effect on the outcome was examined. Recommendations to health care practitioners include adhering to current guidelines, e.g. American Medical Association, for lung cancer treatments. Standard treatment protocols were not always followed for early stage disease, e.g. females versus males with stage I lung cancer were 1.71 times more likely to receive chemotherapy in combination with radiation therapy versus a standard first treatment course of surgery (OR = 1.71, 95% CI 1.06 - 2.78). Also, depending on the lung cancer morphology and lung cancer treatment, females as compared to males could exhibit an increase in survivorship by as much as 28%. To improve the results of medical care decisions for lung cancer, clinicians may find the information presented in this study useful and encourage further research on which treatment increases survival for both men and women.

Abstract:
Despite a roughly equal number of men and women in the general population, women consistently have lower rates of incarceration than their male peers. The difference is not trivial; there are 10 men incarcerated for each woman in the United States. The correctional system was confronted with issues specific to female inmates in part as a product of the War on Drugs from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s. During this period, the number of women incarcerated rose 888%. The bulk of this rise was attributable to arrests for non-violent drug related charges. As the correctional system began to experience an influx of women, it became clear that they were different from their male peers. The differences included epidemiology of psychiatric disorders, intensity of health service utilization, social stressors, and patterns of offending. The logical question arose as to whether women needed a different treatment approach in the correctional system than men. The term ‘gender responsive programming’ emerged and represented the idea that women have specific needs distinct from male peers that could best be met with treatment designed for women. The purpose of this chapter is to describe, given the current knowledge base: the patterns of offending and arrests for women versus men; the socio-demographics of incarcerated women; the psychopathology exhibited by incarcerated women; and finally, how best to treat incarcerated women and implement this treatment within jails and prisons.

Abstract:
This chapter provides an overview of emerging adults’ views on gender and gender roles. The authors describe their findings regarding who emerging adults believe benefits more from marriage, men or women. Little consensus seemed to exist regarding how emerging adults viewed the connection between gender and marriage; the authors propose that this is a reflection of our current culture, which continues to move toward gender neutrality and the dismissal of gender differences. The authors also explore how emerging adults believe gender roles will play out in their own marriages. A specific paradox whereby emerging adults aspire to an egalitarian role balance yet tend to end up in traditional gender roles is discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter focuses on a range of practices that have been identified as climate-smart and appropriate for adoption at the family farm level in the context of Bangladesh, based on input from stakeholders and a review of the literature, as well as a review of ongoing agricultural interventions aimed at enhancing agricultural productivity and climate resilience in the country. Sex-disaggregated data from two communities in Bangladesh are used to assess the gender differences in access to different sources and types of agricultural and climate information. The gender dimensions of awareness and adoption of these CSA practices are then explored in order to understand the extent to which information and knowledge gaps contribute to the adoption patterns of female and male farmers. Given that awareness is likely not the only determinant of adoption of CSA practices, a Heckman selectivity regression model was used to examine the correlates of adoption of specific CSA practices, taking into account the endogeneity of awareness. The chapter concludes by discussing the implications of the results and the need for increasing awareness and adoption of CSA practices by both women and men.

Abstract:
Gender differences have been identified in a variety of spine-related disorders including rates of thoracic sagittal plane scoliosis and rates of whiplash associated disorder following automotive rear impacts. For example, female gender was identified as a main risk factor for thoracic curve progression in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis [1]. Clinical and epidemiological studies have identified females to be more susceptible to whiplash injury [2]. However, biomechanical evidence for these discrepancies has been limited. Experimental investigations using human volunteers and post mortem human head-neck specimens have identified dynamic gender differences in overall head kinematics relative to T1 [3] and segmental and localized spinal kinematics [4, 5] following simulated automotive rear impacts. However, it remains unclear whether dynamic gender differences resulted from anthropometry, or geometrical or structural differences in the head-neck complex and/or cervical spine. Structural gender differences identified in anterior cruciate ligaments of the knee [6] and histological differences identified in the ligamentum flavum of the lumbar spine may indicate possible structural or material gender differences in spinal ligaments [7]. Therefore, the present investigation was conducted to experimentally identify soft tissue structural differences in spinal biomechanics.

Abstract:
Recently gender related dimorphism in the knee has received increased attention in sports medicine and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Certain soft tissue injuries, particularly ACL injuries, have a higher prevalence rates in young female athletes compared to their male counterparts [1]. Patellofemoral pain, recurrent dislocations and arthritis have been reported to be more common in women [2]. Women have higher incidence of osteoarthritis and account for about two-thirds of TKA patients. Gender specific implant designs have also been reported [3]. However, no study has compared the six-DOF kinematics of the male and female knees during functional activities. Additionally gender differences in the morphology of the knee, particularly the trochlear groove, have not been clearly delineated. Herein, we have examined gender differences in knee morphology and six-DOF kinematics during weight bearing flexion. This was accomplished via combined magnetic resonance (MR) based 3D modeling and dual fluoroscope imaging of the knee.

Abstract:
Agricultural commercialisation is widely recognised as a catalyst to economic growth and development in low and middle-income countries. This study investigates gender and social differences in agricultural commercialisation in rural Malawi. Specifically, the paper analyses different levels of agricultural commercialisation among gender and wealth categories; the specific gender and social issues that facilitate or impede agricultural commercialisation among gender and wealth categories; and their implications for commercialisation and livelihoods among gender and wealth categories.

Abstract:
Women live longer but can expect to spend more years in poorer health compared to men. In the context of population aging and declining gender ratios at older ages, there are increasing concerns about how this disadvantage in female health will affect well-being and sustainability, particularly in developing regions that are rapidly aging. Our study compares differences in health expectancies at older ages for men and women in order to assess gender disparities in health.We use data from the Survey on Health, Well-Being, and Aging in Latin America and the Caribbean to decompose the gender gap into total and age-specific mortality and disability effects in seven cities in the region. Our results show that at older ages, higher disability rates among women reduced the gender gap in healthy life expectancy by offsetting women’s mortality advantage. In addition, we find that women’s mortality advantage decreased almost systematically with age, which reduced the contribution of the mortality effect to the gender gap at older ages. Although the gender gap in health followed a similar pattern across the region, its decomposition into mortality and disability effects reveals that there was substantial variation among cities. Thus, across the region, the implications of the gender gap in health for well-being vary, and the policies aimed at reducing this gap should also differ.
