Gender discrimination in physics and astronomy: Graduate student experiences of sexism and gender microaggressions
2016
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Gender in Physics.] Sexism occurs when men are believed to be superior to women, and is thought to be one of the reasons for women’s underrepresentation in physics and astronomy.

This article seeks to begin a conversation on sexism in physics and astronomy and offer a starting point for language to discuss sexism in research groups and departments. Interviews with 21 women in graduate physics and astronomy programs are analyzed for their individual experi…

Machine Translation and Gender biases in video game localisation: a corpus-based analysis
2021
The video game industry has been a historically gender-biased terrain due to a higher number of male protagonists and hypersexualised representations [Dietz, 1998; Downs & Smith, 2010; Lynch et al., 2016]. Nowadays, echoing the debate on inclusive language, companies attempt to erase gender disparity by introducing main female characters as well as non-binary characters. From a technological point of view, even though recent studies show that Machine Translation remains largely unadopted by individual video game localisers [Rivas Ginel, 2021], multilanguage vendors are willing to invest in these tools to reduce costs [LIND, 2020]. However, the predominance of the masculine in Natural La…

2017
Mūsdienās tiek daudz diskutēts par vienlīdzību starp vīriešiem un sievietēm. Tomēr visa cita starpā nevajadzētu aizmirst arī vienlīdzību valodas izmantošanā. Šis bakalaura darbs pēta dzimumneobjektīvo valodu komercdarbības rakstos no laikraksta The Economist. Analīzei tika izvēlēti 2006. un 2016. gada pirmajā ceturksnī publicēti raksti no laikraksta Biznesa sadaļas. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt, vai un kā rakstos izpaužas dzimumaizspriedumi, kā arī izvērtēt, vai dzimumaizspriedumi mainās laika gaitā. Lai sasniegtu pētījuma mērķi, tika veikts literatūras apskats par dzimumu un diskursu, kā arī salīdzinošā analīze. Pētījuma rezultāti liecina, ka rakstos vairāk tiek izmantota vīriešu dzimtes aizspr…
Influence of gender bias in the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder: a review
2018
Resumen La prevalencia del trastorno de espectro autista (TEA) se ha incrementado en los últimos años, en parte debido a las mejoras de los métodos de detección y en parte a las modificaciones en la definición que se han ido incorporando a los manuales diagnósticos. Este incremento ha provocado que el índice de prevalencia por género sea en la actualidad de un 1,4/1, según algunos autores, o hasta de un 15,7/1 según otros, con un número muy superior de varones que reciben el diagnóstico en comparación con el número de mujeres que lo reciben. Las distintas explicaciones que se han dado a esta cuestión apuntan a unas determinadas diferencias de género en las manifestaciones sintomáticas del t…
