Do Transgender People Respond According to Their Biological Sex or Their Gender Identity When Confronted With Romantic Rivals?
2019
This study examined the hypothesis that gender identity and biological sex represent independent modules and that transgender individuals respond to romantic rivals in line with their gender identity and not with their biological sex. Additionally, associations of jealousy with intrasexual competitiveness (ISC) and social comparison orientation (SCO) were explored. A total of 134 male-to-female and 94 female-to-male transgender individuals from Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina, responded to a questionnaire. In line with the predictions, female-to-male transgender individuals experienced more jealousy than male-to-female transgender individuals in response to a physically dominant rival, whe…
Unique sleep-stage transitions determined by obstructive sleep apnea severity, age and gender
2019
In obstructive sleep apnea, patients' sleep is fragmented leading to excessive daytime sleepiness and co-morbidities like arterial hypertension. However, traditional metrics are not always directly correlated with daytime sleepiness, and the association between traditional sleep quality metrics like sleep duration and arterial hypertension is still ambiguous. In a development cohort, we analysed hypnograms from mild (n = 213), moderate (n = 235) and severe (n = 277) obstructive sleep apnea patients as well as healthy controls (n = 105) from the European Sleep Apnea Database. We assessed sleep by the analysis of two-step transitions depending on obstructive sleep apnea severity and anthropom…
Living in a Cul-de-Sac: Women's representation and gender identity in Desperate Housewives
2010
Median tuottamat representaatiot vaikuttavat paljon siihen, miten ihmiset käsittävät todellisuuden. Tutkimalla representaatioita ja niiden vaikutuksia voidaan tuoda esille ideologiat ja valta-suhteet jotka vaikuttavat representaatioiden takana. Representaatiot eivät siis ole neutraaleja esityksiä, vaan niillä on aina oma näkökulmansa todellisuuteen. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on havainnollistaa naisten representointia mediassa ja tuoda esille sukupuoli-identiteetin rakentumista representaatioissa. Aineistona tutkimuksessa on käytetty tv-sarjan Täydelliset Naiset viittä jaksoa neljänneltä tuotantokaudelta. Sarjan ajankohtaisuus, suosio, laajalevikkeisyys sekä naishahmojen runsaus toim…
Effects of seniority, gender and geography on the bibliometric output and collaboration networks of European Research Council (ERC) grant recipients.
2019
Assessing the success and performance of researchers is a difficult task, as their grant output is influenced by a series of factors, including seniority, gender and geographical location of their host institution. In order to assess the effects of these factors, we analysed the publication and citation outputs, using Scopus and Web of Science, and the collaboration networks of European Research Council (ERC) starting (junior) and advanced (senior) grantees. For this study, we used a cohort of 355 grantees from the Life Sciences domain of years 2007-09. While senior grantees had overall greater publication output, junior grantees had a significantly greater pre-post grant award increase in …

Elderly woman in films. An evaluation to the filmic projects
2016
La presencia de las mujeres en el cine tanto delante como detrás de la cámara es escasa; y esto ocurre más todavía en el caso de las mujeres mayores. Con una mirada de género desde la Gerontología hemos realizado una selección y posterior evaluación de las películas estrenadas entre 1960 y 2015 en las que el protagonismo o co-protagonismo fuese de una mujer mayor de 55 años, obteniendo un total de 63 películas. Con la información obtenida al utilizar una hoja de registro y análisis, se realizó un análisis de contenido que dio lugar a diferentes categorías temáticas y subcategorías. Los resultados muestran que son muy escasas las películas cuya trama argumental gira en torno a mujeres mayore…

“I due volti di Eva”. L’educazione al femminile nella filmografia italiana degli anni Cinquanta.
2018
Attraverso lo studio della filmografia italiana degli anni Cinquanta, è possibile ricostruire le identità di genere che, in un tempo così attraversato da profonde trasformazioni, si andavano ridefinendo. Infatti, in questo periodo nasceva e si sviluppava il cinema di massa, che diventava il principale terreno di azione culturale: strumento di costruzione dell’identità collettiva ed esperienza condivisa che creava legami, esso era soprattutto uno spazio educativo. In particolare, il cinema registrava il profondo mutamento in corso dell’identità femminile e del rapporto tra i generi, a volte ostacolandolo, altre volte anticipandolo o favorendolo. I due generi cinematografici più popolari di q…
