‘My life has changed, but his life hasn’t’: Making sense of the gendering of parenthood during the transition to motherhood

2011

A narrative approach to the study of the gendered nature of parenting acknowledges that different kinds of cultural narratives surround the couple relationship and parenting. This narrative study illustrates the process of the gendering of parenthood from the points of view of seven Finnish first-time mothers. The data were obtained from 28 in-depth longitudinal interviews. Two main narratives were found: a turbulent transformation and a smooth transformation narrative. The turbulent transformation narrative demonstrates how the transition to parenthood may lead to biographical disruption in first-time mothers’ lives. The contradictory cultural narratives of intensive mothering and shared …

Gender violence in migration: Voices of migrant women in Sicily

2015

Migrant women constitute a growing reality in Italy, also with reference to violence among family members. In particular, violence endured by the foreign female takes on a character of ‘dual violence,’ the violence experienced within the relationship is supplemented by the violence from the social context, which often isolates her, or even expels her following her ‘coming out into the open.’ The article presents extensive reflections emerging from the results of research carried out in 2012 in Sicily, aiming to explore the experience and perception of family violence and the possible influence of the migratory experience on changes in the forms and implications of family violence. The refle…

Relatedness Does not Affect Competitive Behavior of Rival Males or Offspring Growth in Multiply Sired Litters of Bank Voles (Myodes glareolus)

2014

Kin selection operates through the fitness of an organism's relatives. In the polyandry context, kin selection may be observable on the one hand in competition between rival males and, on the other hand, in competition between litter mates. Sperm competition theory predicts that males should invest less into mating when competing for fertilizations against a close relative as compared to an unrelated male. We tested this hypothesis with bank voles (Myodes glareolus) by mating each focal male to two females: one of which had previously mated with a full sibling of the focal male and the other one with a male unrelated to the focal male. However, we found no effect of rival male relatedness o…

Competition over access to reproductive opportunities can lead males to harm females. However, recent work has shown that, in Drosophila melanogaster, male competition and male harm of females are both reduced under conditions simulating male-specific population viscosity (i.e., in groups where males are related and reared with each other as larvae). Here, we seek to replicate these findings and investigate whether male population viscosity can have repercussions for the fitness of offspring in the next generation. We show that groups of unrelated-unfamiliar (i.e., unrelated individuals raised apart) males fight more intensely than groups of related-familiar males (i.e., full siblings raise…

Genomic conflicts and sexual antagonism in human health: Insights from oxytocin and testosterone

2015

We review the hypothesized and observed effects of two of the major forms of genomic conflicts, genomic imprinting and sexual antagonism, on human health. We focus on phenotypes mediated by peptide and steroid hormones (especially oxytocin and testosterone) because such hormones centrally mediate patterns of physical and behavioral resource allocation that underlie both forms of conflict. In early development, a suite of imprinted genes modulates the human oxytocinergic system as predicted from theory, with paternally inherited gene expression associated with higher oxytocin production, and increased solicitation to mothers by infants. This system is predicted to impact health through the i…

El Derecho De La Uniin Europea Ante La Encrucijada Del Impuesto Sobre Sucesiones Y Donaciones Espaaol (EU Law Before the Crossroad of the Spanish Inh…

2014

Spanish Abstract: El articulo analiza los efectos del Derecho de la Union Europea y las libertades fundamentales sobre el impuesto sobre sucesiones y donaciones espanol, teniendo en cuenta las implicaciones y complejas relaciones que derivan de su formulacion como impuesto estatal que ha sido parcialmente cedido a las Comunidades Autonomas. El articulo analiza la posible evolucion tras la sentencia del TJUE de 3 de septiembre de 2014 (asunto C-127/12). El autor critica la argumentacion pobre del TJUE y propone un desarrollo mas consistente del contenido de las libertades fundamentales a partir de un analisis mas solido de los juicios de comparabilidad y de justificacion. El autor tambien cr…

Ruch pokojowy w RFN (Friedensbewegung) w pierwszej połowie lat osiemdziesiątych XX wieku

2018

In the 1980s, the peace movement, which was mobilizing hundreds of thousands of people in protests against the double act passed by NATO in December 1979, was an integral element of the West-German political stage. It influenced the system of power and internal conflicts within the German Social Democracy (SPD), being the strongest opponent of the policy run by the government of Chancellor Schmidt. It also contributed to the formation of the Green Party and was the object of polemics within trade unions. Apart from that it provided a stimulus for debates of the ethical and religious character within the Catholic and Protestant Churches in the FRG. Lastly, it was the object of controversy an…

Salud sexual de los menores y jóvenes del sistema de protección y en conflicto con la ley

2021

La literatura existente centrada en el estudio de la salud sexual de los/as niños/as y adolescentes, ha reportado resultados heterogéneos que varían en función de las experiencias vitales y de la historia sexual. Los/as niños/as y adolescentes del sistema de protección, a diferencia de los/as jóvenes en conflicto con la ley o de la población general, han sido retirados de sus hogares por sufrir abusos físicos o sexuales, entre otras razones. La vivencia de este tipo de sucesos en la infancia se ha vinculado con una serie de conductas disruptivas, entre las que destacan las conductas sexuales problemáticas. A pesar de ello, tanto los/as niños/as y adolescentes del sistema de protección como …

2009

The question of the Rule of law arises more and more with much acuity in Africa in general and in West Africa in particular. The observable deficit of Rule of law in certain countries of this region is one of the root causes of belligerence and crisis with dramatic consequences: violation of Human rights, desinstitutionalization, refusal of democratic alternation, impunity, poverty, insecurity, etc…Côte d’Ivoire, Mauritania, Liberia, and Sierra Leone are not immune to this. These countries are characterized by particular situations in the light of the crisis they encounter and have encountered, as well as common issues in the long and difficult quest for the establishment of the Rule of Law…
