Women in technology-oriented fields
2015
This study focuses on investigating the main elements that have an effect on women’s decisions to enter a career in technology-oriented fields, and more specifically, to discover whether studying crafts, especially technical work, during basic education affects their decisions in this context. The study was carried out using a semi-structured questionnaire, and the data consist of the responses from 12 female technology education teachers and 12 female engineering students. A qualitative theory oriented content analysis was carried out through identifying, coding, analysing and reporting the patterns within the data. The findings revealed that the most influential career anchor identified b…

Musulmaņu sieviešu galvassegas nozīme Eiropā 21. gadsimtā
2018
Šajā darbā tiek aplūkota parādība, kad 21. gadsimtā reliģiskais atribūts, kā musulmaņu sieviešu galvassega, tiek izaicināts par tā lomu un nozīmi, ko tas pauž islāmā un ārpus tā. Sākotnēji domātas sieviešu pasargāšanai, galvassegas sāk ieņemt politisku raksturu un palikt par ideoloģisku instrumentu savas pārliecības, kā arī reliģiskās identitātes paušanai un izrādīšanai, it sevišķi, kad musulmaņu sievietēm jādzīvo ar šiem atribūtiem Rietumu, konkrēti Eiropas sabiedrībā, kurā ir veicināti un valda plaši izplatīti stereotipi, par to bīstamību, un jāsaskaras ar šo kultūru pat izteikti diametrāli pretējām normām un likumiem. Aplūkojot musulmaņu sieviešu galvassegu izcelšanos, vietu un nozīmi is…
Acceptability of dual HIV/syphilis rapid test in community- and home-based testing strategy among transgender women in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
2021
Background: Little is known of acceptability and feasibility of dual HIV and syphilis rapid tests in community- and home-based provider-initiated strategies among transgender women (TGW), in Latin America. Objectives were (1) to assess the acceptability of this strategy and, (2) to determine the percentage of positive results of HIV and syphilis, analyze the correlates of HIV or syphilis positive results, and measure the rates of effective referral and treatment completion among TGW. Methods: A multidisciplinary team tested 89 TGW in Buenos Aires. An acceptability survey was administered after the HIV/syphilis Duo test was used. All confirmed cases were referred for treatment initiation. R…
L'ecomuseo del grano e del pane: un percorso progettuale centrato sul design
2018
La festa di S. Giuseppe, oltre che un’importante e sentita ricorrenza religiosa, è a Salemi soprattutto la “festa dei pani”; bellissime realizzazioni di alto artigianato artistico, la cui sapienza si tramanda nelle famiglie e nelle associazioni di donne che per mesi lavorano alla produzione dell’enorme quantità delle piccole e grandi forme di pane, per rivestire le costruzioni votive che accolgono il rito della cena. Nasce quindi l’idea di proporre un “Ecomuseo del grano e del pane” nel Collegio dei Gesuiti, valorizzando e riaprendo al pubblico uno spazio di grande interesse storico-architettonico. Nell’ambito della consolidata collaborazione del Comune di Salemi con il Dipartimento di Arch…

Le storie proibite sono le uniche che valga la pena di leggere, o così avrebbe potuto dire Oscar Wilde. Ma cosa c'è nella storia che suggerisce l'idea del segreto o del proibito? E per quale motivo le autrici contemporanee dovrebbero mostrare un siffatto fervore nel riscriverle? Negli ultimi decenni del ventesimo secolo e nei primi anni del nuovo millennio si è registrata una crescita della narrativa storica nella produzione delle donne: Margaret Atwood, Antonia S. Byatt, Angela Carter, Tracy Chevalier, Margaret Forster, Valerie Martin, Tony Morrison, Michèle Roberts, Katie Roiphe, Adhaf Soueif, Sarah Waters, Jeanette Winterson e molte altre [...] hanno fatto della storia, del coinvolgiment…
Turkish women writers in English translation
2011
The present paper aims to present a brief survey of Turkish women writers in English translation. Due to the dominant position of English, Turkey has been rather dependent on translations from this language and the flow of translations into the opposite direction has been quite slow. Yet, there is a considerable increase in the number of translations from Turkish into English especially since the 1980s. This also holds true for the works of women writers, and, of women’s fiction in particular, which is closely related to the bond between writing and women’s increased consciousness. The paper also briefly touches upon issues such as what has not been translated and why, and the role translat…
S. haematobium as a Common Cause of Genital Morbidity in Girls: A Cross-sectional Study of Children in South Africa
2013
Background Schistosoma (S.) haematobium infection is a common cause of genital morbidity in adult women. Ova in the genital mucosal lining may cause lesions, bleeding, pain, discharge, and the damaged surfaces may pose a risk for HIV. In a heterogeneous schistosomiasis endemic area in South Africa, we sought to investigate if young girls had genital symptoms and if this was associated with urinary S. haematobium. Methodology In a cross-sectional study of 18 randomly chosen primary schools, we included 1057 schoolgirls between the age of 10 and 12 years. We interviewed assenting girls, whose parents had consented to their participation and examined three urines from each of them for schistos…
Zakochana bez pamięci łatwym łupem oszustów matrymonialnych
2017
The author undertakes to discuss the problem of matrimonial cheats who have acted on the territory of Poland. The first of the presented cases of seducers is that of Julian Jerzy Kalibabka who was active at the turn of the 1970s and the 1980s – probably the most famous of the Polish matrimonial deceivers. It is his surname which has even been made synonymous with seducers-cheats. Next, the author gives examples of deceivers who were active in the days closer to contemporary time and who – in their dealings – have been able to avail themselves of the possibilities which came along with the advance of the Internet, social media and dating websites. The cheats are made reference to with the ai…
