Efecto del juego vs. el role-playing en la implicación de los participantes del Programa saludiversex
2021
El programa de educación afectivo sexual SALUDIVERSEX para personas con diversidad funcional intelectual (DFI) sienta sus bases sobre la importancia de la implicación activa de los participantes en las sesiones dirigidas a favorecer el aprendizaje de conocimientos, habilidades y actitudes saludables. Por ello, en las sesiones dedicadas a transmitir conocimientos sobre sexo/sexualidad, higiene sexual, prácticas sexuales y sexo seguro, así como, en las que se trabajan actitudes hacia la diversidad sexual y las relaciones de pareja se prioriza más el juego. Por otra parte, en las sesiones dedicadas a trabajar habilidades interpersonales se emplea fundamentalmente el role playing. El objetivo d…
Disabili, sì, ma “normali”. Abilismo interiorizzato e riproduzione della norma (etero)sessuale
2022
The main aim of the article based on an exploratory research consists precisely in analyzing the processes of normative gender construction in disabled embodiment interpreted through the heterosexual matrix and sexual binarism lenses, processes that intersect with the dimension of disability providing the consolidation of an uncritical construction of disabled bodies subjected to overall processes of normalization. The conclusions and discussions focus on the further depoliticization of those complicit disabled identities who don’t challenge ableism and heterosexism.
Long Term Results of Bladder Exstrophy
1999
After primary bladder closure or urinary diversion, other factors apart from the reconstruction gain importance for individuals with the exstrophy-epispadias complex: social integration and, after reaching puberty, sexuality and fertility.
Spanish validation of the Sexual Addiction Screening Test.
2018
Background and aims Sexual addiction is a pathological behavior characterized by a combination of excessive sexual desire and impaired ability to control it. Its incidence ranges between 1.2% and 32.2%, although this number may vary depending on the screening tool used. This wide variability is largely due to the use of non-validated instruments (e.g., structural validity relying on exploratory analyses, instruments translated without an additional validation process, or instruments validated in another format). To deal with these limitations, this study tested the psychometric properties of the Spanish paper-and-pencil and online versions of the Sexual Addiction Screening Test (SAST). Met…
Karyotype variability and inter-population genomic differences in freshwater ostracods (Crustacea) showing geographical parthenogenesis
2018
Transitions from sexual to asexual reproduction are often associated with polyploidy and increased chromosomal plasticity in asexuals. We investigated chromosomes in the freshwater ostracod species Eucypris virens (Jurine, 1820), where sexual, asexual and mixed populations can be found. Our initial karyotyping of multiple populations from Europe and North Africa, both sexual and asexual, revealed a striking variability in chromosome numbers. This would suggest that chromosomal changes are likely to be accelerated in asexuals because the constraints of meiosis are removed. Hence, we employed comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) within and among sexual and asexual populations to get insigh…
Genetic feminization of pheromones and its behavioral consequences in Drosophila males
1997
0036-8075 (Print) Journal Article Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't; Pheromones are intraspecific chemical signals important for mate attraction and discrimination. In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, hydrocarbons on the cuticular surface of the animal are sexually dimorphic in both their occurrence and their effects: Female-specific molecules stimulate male sexual excitation, whereas the predominant male-specific molecule tends to inhibit male excitation. Complete feminization of the pheromone mixture produced by males was induced by targeted expression of the transformer gene in adult oenocytes (subcuticular abdominal cells) or by ubiquitous expression during early imaginal life. The…
Socio-Demographic Characteristics and Sexual Behavioral Factors of Patients with Sexually Transmitted Infections Attending a Hospital in Southern Ita…
2021
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a serious global health problem. In Italy, data describing the vulnerability to STIs of specific sexual minorities and the influence of sociodemographic and behavioral determinants are limited, as most infections are not subject to mandatory notification. This retrospective study describes the sociodemographic profile and main sexual behaviors of patients attending a hospital in Palermo (Sicily, Italy) from January 2018 to March 2019 as predictors of STI risk. Patients were divided in subgroups: men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM), men-who-have-sex-with-women (MSW), bisexual men and females. Data were obtained through an anonymous questionnaire. Patien…
Doing gender and sexuality intersectionally in multimodal social media practices
2021
The chapter focuses on how members in participatory cultures engage in everyday, informal, and interest-driven social and discursive practices primarily on social media but also in ways that relate to the material and physical contexts of their lives. We show how social actors operating in these sites construct gender and sexuality intersectionally and multimodally. We argue that gender and sexuality are always constructed at intersections with other identity categories. With respect to both digital and physical participatory activities, multisemioticity is, in turn, necessary as an analytic perspective: it allows the investigation of how participants routinely draw on and deploy a range of…
Conflict management in massive polylogues: A case study from YouTube
2014
Abstract The aim of this paper is to examine how conflict begins, unfolds and ends in a massive, new media polylogue, specifically, a YouTube polylogue. Extant research has looked into how conflict begins, unfolds and/or ends. However, to our knowledge, the models and taxonomies developed so far have not been applied to the analysis of the mediated conflict of massive polylogues. Drawing on the difference between methods of analysis that are natively digital versus those that have been digitized, i.e., they were developed for off-line research and then migrated on-line, one of the goals of this paper is to test whether non-natively digital, extant models and taxonomies, if digitized, would …
Sex and Gender Equality Policies in Education in Three Southern European Societies: the cases of Andalusia and Valencian Community (Spain) and Portug…
2020
Gender mainstreaming is an international strategy in Europe relating to gender equality using an intersectional approach. It deals, specifically, with new challenges for sexuality and diversity in education. From within this context, this paper focuses on two goals. The first is to analyse sex and gender equality policies in education, since the 2000s, in three Southern European societies: Andalusia and Valencian Community, in Spain, and Portugal. The second goal is to arrive at some comparative conclusions about the recent developments in sex and gender equality policies in education in these three societies. We end with some comparative conclusions. First, there is the political orientati…
