Le nomine parlamentari: procedure ed equilibri di genere

2022

La presente ricerca mira ad analizzare, secondo una prospettiva comparata, i meccanismi gender balanced, eventualmente presenti, nelle procedure di nomina delle cariche pubbliche, di competenza parlamentare. Lo studio ha riguardato l’analisi delle modalità di nomina di Authorities, Corti costituzionali e organi di autogoverno della magistratura degli ordinamenti europei singolarmente analizzati nei precedenti capitoli della presente opera. La comparazione ha evidenziato soluzioni eterogenee, come il ricorso a meccanismi di quote percentuali o l’affermazione di misure di soft law. Fine ultimo della ricerca è stata l’individuazione di possibili interventi che potrebbero effettuarsi nell’ordin…

Dalla parte di Caino? Aspetti teorici, dati empirici, stereotipi e politiche di intervento sul caso degli uomini maltrattanti

2021

Partendo dai dati empirici raccolti nel corso di un progetto Prin su Rappresentazioni sociali della violenza sulle donne: il caso del femminicidio in Italia – e, in particolare, dai risultati emersi dallo studio sulle rappresentazioni del femminicidio nei procedimenti giudiziari – il saggio affronta il controverso tema del profilo dell’uomo maltrattante intorno al quale si concentrano stereotipi e timori sociali ma la cui conoscenza è un tassello indispensabile per affrontare – con il necessario “distacco analitico” – il fenomeno della violenza di genere, evitando derive esorcizzanti o altrettanto pericolosi scivoloni paternalistici, patologizzanti e moralizzanti. Il quesito centrale riguar…

Trans Justice Fights Trans Moral Panic

2022

Between the summer of 2019 and the summer of 2021, a violent discussion about trans rights took place in Spain. This paper argues that the discussion can be understood as an instance of ‘social problems work’, more specifically as part of a moral crusade or a moral panic episode. Implicit in this is the idea that there has been an over-reaction to trans recognition and trans equality laws, publicly presented as a major social problem. This paper also provides legal arguments against the fears voiced in the discussion, by summarizing relevant ECHR case-law that agrees with an alternative feminist account of trans rights that de-pathologizes gender-identity self-determination. The paper thus …

Gender-related differences in men and women with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and incomplete infarct-related artery flow restoration: a…

2018

Introduction: Little is known about gender-related differences in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and incomplete infarct-related artery (IRA) reperfusion after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). Aim: To evaluate gender-related differences in clinical characteristics and prognosis in patients with STEMI and incomplete IRA reperfusion after pPCI. Material and methods: From 42,752 STEMI patients hospitalized between 2009 and 2011 in Poland we analyzed a group of 984 (36%) females and 1,746 (64%) males with less than Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) grade 3 flow following pPCI. Results: Women were older than men (72.0 ±11.3 vs. 64.0 ±11.7 years; p …

Sex-specific genetic differences in endurance swimming of Trinidadian guppies.

2015

Abstract Swim performance is considered a main fitness‐determining trait in many aquatic organisms. Swimming is generally the only way most aquatic prey can escape predation, and swimming capacity is directly linked to food capture, habitat shifts, and reproduction. Therefore, evolutionary studies of swim performance are important to understand adaptation to aquatic environments. Most studies, however, concentrate on the importance of burst‐swim responses to predators, and little is known about its effect on endurance. Even fewer studies associate differences in organism swim capabilities to key gender‐specific responses. In this experiment, we assess the gender‐specific genetic basis of sw…

Gender and Sex in Medical Practice: An Exploratory Study on Knowledge, Behavior, and Attitude among Sicilian Physicians

2022

Personalized medicine is a new paradigm in health care, and the concept of socio-cultural gender, as opposed to biological sex, emerged in several medical approaches. This exploratory study aimed to investigate the knowledge of sex and gender in clinical medicine among Sicilian physicians. Data collection was based on an online survey sent to the members of the Medical Councils of Sicily (Italy). The questionnaire included nine specific items about awareness and attitudes regarding gender medicine and its importance in clinical practice. 8023 Sicilian physicians received the solicitation e-mail and only 496 responded. Regarding the knowledge of gender medicine, 71.1% of participants stated …

Identità professionale, genere e servizio sociale in ottica internazionale

2016

Il servizio sociale è un lavoro generalmente declinato al femminile. Ciò è un solido dato di realtà riscontrabile in più Paesi, anzi appare come uno stato di cose quasi “universale”, nonostante ciascun Stato abbia costruito nei secoli un Welfare State a misura della sua situazione politica interna e delle sue scelte di politica sociale. Altro dato di realtà è che la preponderanza del genere femminile in questa professione pare talmente “nell’ordine naturale delle cose” da non essere quasi oggetto né di riflessione né di approfondimento, né tantomeno di attenzione nella formazione. Questo si può riscontrare nella letteratura di più Paesi europei e non (Svizzera, Francia, UK, Canada, Belgio, …

Is It Easy to Synchronize Our Minds When We Are Forced to Cooperate?

2019

There is increasing scientific interest in elucidating the biological mechanisms underlying cooperative behaviors. Humans have developed a high degree of complexity in their cooperativity, which has been defined as hyper-cooperativity. An interesting biological marker to study how two individuals are emotionally linked when they cooperate is their psychophysiological synchronization (the overlapping of signals as indicators of Autonomous Nervous System activation). Hence, the main aim of this study was to explore participants&rsquo
