Hair Colour Stereotypes in Croatian Language Corpora

The paper shows how hair colour stereotypes are reflected in two Croatian language corpora: the Croatian Language Corpus hrWaC and the Croatian Language Repository. Both were searched with the Sketch Engine corpus tool, utilizing the word sketches function, which shows the information on the most common collocations in which a lemma occurs. Synonymous words denoting female and male persons with fair, brown, black, ginger, or red hair were explored. The following hypotheses were confirmed or partially confirmed: women are more often defined by hair colour than men; more synonyms denote a female person of a particular hair colour than a male person; some synonyms appear in contexts suggesting stereotypes more often than others; in the formation of words especially denoting female persons of particular hair colour, some word-formation models are used to form pejorative and depreciative words and (by onymisation) animal names; and the adjectives pravi (‘real’), jedan (‘one’), and običan (‘ordinary’) serve as focus markers and suggest expressions reflecting stereotypes. Based on the conducted collocation and word-formation analysis, it is concluded that the collocations and word-formation models associated with hair colour words suggest various extralinguistic data, including the social status of women.

GENDER NARRATIVES IN THE MASS MEDIA:FEMINITIVES vs MASCULINATIVES

The article describes the trendsin the use of feminitives and masculinatives in media discourse in view of their lexical-semantic and formal-grammatical properties in the context of observing gender-correct speech.The application of the descriptive method made it possible to characterize the formal-grammatical and lexical-semantic properties of feminine and masculine forms; 2) the analysis of dictionary definitions contributed to the establishment of lexical-semantic groups of representatives of social gender in the language of mass media; 3) the modeling method made it possible to determine the lexical-grammatical models of verbalizers of social gender; 4) the contextual-interpretive method made it possible to reveal stereotypical tendencies in the functioning of feminitives and masculinatives.A means of achieving gender-correct communication is gender-sensitive speech -the use of language resources, in particular, feminine vocabulary to designate women by occupation or profession, with the aim of avoiding gender discrimination in media speech in particular. The Ukrainian language has a significant potential for maintaining gender-correct speech: gender lexemes represented by masculine or feminine grammes; bigender -from a grammatical point of view, split into two generic forms, devoid of immanent signs of femininity / masculinity, but able to name both female and male persons by type of activity or profession; agender, which are characterized by the systematic independence of gender characteristics from the grammatical gender, can be expressed by any gender grammes.In the mass media discourse, there is a tendency to activate feminisms, which is a vivid manifestation of the language policy aimed at expanding this lexical-semantic group, establishing a gender culture in the language. At the same time, the use of feminitives in the language of mass media has not become systematic: there are lexical gaps in the names of women's professions, gender asymmetry (grammatical and semantic), which are explained by the situational-pragmatic use of bigender and agender tokens as names of women according to their social roles; there are manifestations of stereotypical ideas about the social roles of men and women.

Developing a WhatsApp hotline for female entertainment workers in Cambodia: a qualitative study.

Female entertainment workers (FEWs) in Cambodia experience high levels of stress due to economic hardship, exposure to violence, and harassment by law enforcement due to their employment. This study aims to gather qualitative data on stressors, coping strategies, and preferences for chatline functions to inform the development of a WhatsApp hotline (chatline) for FEWs in Cambodia. This qualitative study includes data from 5 focus groups and 10 in-depth interviews (IDIs), at which point data collectors felt we approached saturation. Participants were asked to respond to open-ended questions, a comic strip showing how the hotline might work and an audio recording of a hypothetical hotline conversation. Primary structural coding was used to identify the preferred functions and type of support participants want to receive from hotline staff. As more secondary themes arose during codebook development, an inductive thematic analytical approach was selected to categorize these data. Participants identified several stressors associated with female entertainment work, including concerns about physical and mental health, fear related to experiences with the police or threat of arrest, and exposure to violence. Passive/avoidance and active coping strategies were also identified. Participants preferred a 24 h chatline that provides emotional support from a kind and comforting female staff person. The types of support participants were looking for were advice about personal problems, encouragement to achieve their goals and address depression, and immediate help for violence. Most participants felt that the hotline could bring them a sense of relief and safety and improve their mood. Some stated that the hotline alone would not alleviate the stressors they were exposed to, particularly related to violence and called for more transformational change. This study offers textured evidence to inform the WhatsApp hotline development and staff training tailored to meet the needs of this specific population. Linking this hotline with crisis response, legal support, and longer-term in-depth counseling and using information gathered from this project to inform more extensive structural and policy-level changes should also be part a foundational part of this project.

Comparative clinical study of the pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of the combined drug Mioreol and the combined use of mono-drugs containing donepezil and memantine

The study of bioequivalence and safety of the fixed combination of the drug Mioreol (Donepezil + Memantine, 10 mg + 20 mg) in relation to the combined use of Yasnal 10 mg and Akatinol Memantin 20 mg. The safety analysis study included 36 male (n=8) and female (n=10) subjects, sexes (age 26.3±7.1 years, body mass index (BMI) 23.0±2.8 kg/m2). In the study for the analysis of pharmacokinetics - 31 male (n=8) and female (n=10) persons (age 26.5±7.9 years, BMI 23.5±3.1 kg/m2). The method used high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection. Pharmacokinetic analysis was carried out using Phoenix WinNonlin software («CERTARA», Pharsight, USA) v. 8.2. Statistical analysis of the obtained data was performed based on the assumption of a lognormal distribution of parameters AUC0-72 and Cmax. Geometric mean ratio for key pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC0-t, AUC0-####sub/sub#### and Cmax) donepezil and memantine are close to 100% and 90%, measuring ranges are within acceptable limits for bioequivalent drugs range (80-125%) for both active ingredients. Within-subject variability (CVintra) for donepezil was 9.34% (Cmax), 6.12% (AUC0-t), and for memantine - 8.13% (Cmax), 6.67% (AUC0-t). The results of the study allow us to recommend Mioreol for further clinical study and wide practical application.

Epidemiološke karakteristike salmoneloza u populaciji Beograda za period 1994-2013. godine

Background/Aim: The registered salmonella cases are estimated to constitute 1-10% of the real frequency of this disease. The aim of the research was to analyze epidemiological salmonella characteristics in Belgrade population for the period 1994-2013. Methods: The data on the number of salmonella cases regarding gender, age and municipalities for the given period were taken from the City Institute of Public Health in Belgrade and used to calculate crude, age-specific and standardized incidence rates were used. For estimating the incidence trend joinpoint regression analysis was used. Results: In the given 20-year period there were 12,452 salmonellosis cases, and female infected persons were more present (53.5%) than males (46.5%). In both sexes, the highest average age-specific rates were found in age group 0-4, and the lowest for people age 70 and older. According to joinpoint regression analysis there is a significant incidence decline in men from the age group 15-19 and further on, while in women that decline starts with the age group 10-14. The average standardized salmonellosis incidence rate (per 100,000) was 61.6 (61.7 for men and 61.4 for women). The most frequent Salmonella serotypes isolated from human material were S. enteritidis (81.6%), S. typhimurium (7.7%) and S. infantis (2.6%). Conclusion: The decline in salmonellosis noticed in our study suggests better farming control, better control of meat production and turnover and application of hygienic and sanitary measures in these processes as well as the greater presence of the HACCP standard for the health safety of food in Belgrade.

Pirania i harpia – metafory kobiecości w felietonach Małgorzaty Domagalik

The aim of this paper is to examine the metaphors referring to women in Małgorzata Domagalik’s columns. The columnist shows two types of female personalities: pirania (the Piranha) and harpia (the Harpy). The author discusses how Domagalik transforms the stereotype of women using the metaphors in question. Piranhas are very insecure women who hate everything that is different, whereas harpies are extraordinary, unorthodox, and demanding a lot fromthemselves and from others. The methodological structure is based on linguistic and cultural analysis of metaphors present in Małgorzata Domagalik’s columns.

Психологическое благополучие и приверженность нормам фемининности студенток, овладевающих помогающими профессиями в региональном и столичном вузах

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Objective. </strong>Determination of the specifics of the relationship between psychological well-being and adherence to the normative model of traditional femininity based on the example of female students mastering helping professions at the medical and psychological faculties of Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod universities. <strong>Background. </strong>In the context of social instability and the constant growth of negative impacts on a person there is a need for detail study of psychological well-being and the specifics of the connection with it of other socio-psychological and personal phenomena. At the same time, the changed socio-cultural context of personality development as a gender subject, caused along with the traditional emergence of new egalitarian norms, in particular, femininity, actualizes the problem of the relationship between the psychological well-being of a woman's personality and the degree of adherence to traditional gender standards. <strong>Study design. </strong>The relationship between the level of psychological well-being and the degree of adherence to the traditional model of femininity among female students of psychological and medical faculties of Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod universities was studied. To analyze the data the Student's t-test, the Mann-Whitney U-test, correlation analysis (Spearman's coefficient), and the Fisher coefficient were used. <strong>Participants.</strong> Sample: 92 female persons, 42 students of psychological faculties and 50 students of medical faculties of the 1st and 2nd years of higher education in Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod aged 18 to 23 years (M=19,53; SD=1,11). <strong>Measurements. </strong>Questionnaire "Scale of psychological well-being" by K.

The sample of female students of medical faculties of regional university shows a greater commitment to traditional norms of female behavior, and their well-being is more associated with traditional femininity. <strong>Conclusions. </strong>The relationship between psychological well-being and adherence to the norms of femininity in female students mastering helping professions in Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod universities is established.</p>

Which Tsarina? Traces of Dynastic Conflict in the Images of Romanovs’ Genealogical “Trees” of the Late 17th - Early 18th Centuries

In Russia, the tradition of visual representation of the royal family in the form of dynastic trees was established under Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, the second sovereign of the Romanov dynasty. Unlike similar Western European images, the compositions of Russian trees do not include female persons, including royal wives. There are just four exceptions when the spouses of Alexei Mikhailovich, Maria Ilyinichna Miloslavskaya and Natalya Kirillovna Naryshkina, are represented on the tree or in the donators group under it. The article deals with the problem of interpreting the meaning and significance of these images of tsarinas in the context of the need to legitimize the power of a new dynasty in an atmosphere of expectation of the End of Times and a dynastic conflict provoked by the presence of sons in both royal.

Sinus coronarius, mikroanatomska studija

INTRODUCTION: Complete appreciation of the cardiac venous system requires an understanding of its embryological basis, its usual patterns of distribution, and its common variations. AIM: The aim of our study was to improve our understanding of the coronary sinus morphometrical and topographical anatomy. METHODS: The investigations were carried out on 25 human hearts (from 11 male and 14 female persons of mean age 59.5; range: 40 to 75 years). The classic anatomical technique of microdissection (using neurosurgical microinstruments) was performed under the stereoscopic microscope on 10 specimens injected with a 10% formaldehyde solution. The arteries and veins of an additional 15 hearts were injected with methylmethacrylate and immersed in a 40% solution of NaOH for corrosion. Following washing out and drying, the obtained vascular casts were examined and measured. RESULTS: Coronary sinus (CS) extends from the opening of the oblique vein of the left atrium into the great cardiac vein, to its empty orifice into the right atrium. The length of CS varied between 22.4 and 41.4 mm (mean 33.0 ± 6.1 mm). The diameter of CS at its beginning was 5.0 - 9.6 mm (mean 6.6 ± 1.3 mm), and its diameter at its atrial mouth varied from 6.6 - 12.0 mm (mean 8.4 ± 1.6 mm). The CS had varied relationships to the branches of the left or right coronary arteries. It extended superficial and above the artery in 16 (64%) hearts, and close superficial to the artery in 9 (36%) cases. Duplication of the superior vena cava associated with an aberrant left hepatic vein was found in one case. The persistent left superior vena cava, which drained into the right atrium via the enlarged coronary sinus, was formed by the persistence of the left anterior cardinal vein. CONCLUSION: Our study shows that the coronary sinus, created in an early stage of embryological development, is an important collecting vessel receiving the main veins of the heart.

THE ESTIMATION OF NATURAL AND VACCINE-INDUCED IMMUNITY FOR PROTECTION OF NEW CORONAVIRUS INFECTION IN PERSONS WHO HAVE CONTACT WITH COVID-19. CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS

Objectives. The aim of the study was to estimate the protection level by anti-IgG to RBD S-protein of the SARS-CoV-2 delivered from natural and vaccine-induced immunity in persons who have contact with COVID-19. Methods. Fourteen (14) persons presented a lab medical stuff and their relatives aged 19-72 years with several COVID-status (CoV-ST) who had contact with COVID-19 the last 10 days before blood collection was underwent to clinical trials. The CoV-ST presented by 1) non-vaccinated, recovered, nV-Recover; 2) unvaccinated, non-contact, V-nC; 3) recovered and then vaccinated (hybrid), R-V (hybrid); 4) vaccinated and then infected and recovered, V-R; 5) vaccinated, now ill, |V-Ill; 6) non-vaccinated, now ill, nV-Ill. Quantitative ELISA was conducted by anti-IgG RBD S-protein SARS-CoV-2 kit in blood serum with resulting in BAU “binding antibody units” (First WHO International Standart for anti-SARS-CoV immunoglobulin (human), NIBSC code: 20/136). The estimation was performed according manual for kit and immunoassay analyser in optical density of solutions at one main wavelength of 405 nm. The Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient of nonparametric measure was used due to small numerous of cohort. Statistical analyses was calculated with GraphPad Prism 8.0.1 and Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (verse 2201 16.0.14827.20158) programs. Results. All fourteen (14) persons who had contact with COVID-19 was immunized. Three (3) female persons aged less than 30 years had anti-IgG RBD S-protein SARS-CoV-2 in diapason from 19.2 till 230.1 BAU/mL which was infected and got ill with might-to-moderate symptoms of COVID-19 (f,34 nV-Recover; f,33 nV-Ill; f,22 V-Ill). Eleven (11) persons which was not infected and got ill 1) six (6) with R-V (hybrid) and vector technology vaccine had anti-IgG < 500 BAU/ml; 2) eight (8) persons, seven (7) of them with R-V (hybrid), vector and mRNA-technology vaccines had anti-IgG >500 BAU/ml; 3) four (4) persons with R-V (hybrid), one (1) of them had a vector technology vaccine, three (3) of them had an mRNA technology vaccine had anti-IgG > 5000 BAU/ml; 4) the highest concentration of specific anti-IgG 50,000 BAU/ml was detected in 19-year-old men with R-V (hybrid) and mRNA technology vaccine. Conclusion. Direct moderate and moderate inverse correlation was noted between many factors which can determine an adaptive human immunity. The observe study showed a rapid immune response to neutralization of viruses in medical stuff and their relatives who had closest contact with COVID-19, aged 19 to 50 years and who previously was ill and subsequently was vaccinated triply by vector vaccine or previously was ill and then was vaccinated twice by mRNA vaccine.

Течение новой коронавирусной инфекции у пациентов трудоспособного возраста (40-55 лет)

Objective. To study the epidemiological background and provide clinical and laboratory characteristics of a new coronavirus infection in patients of middle working age. Materials and Methods. A retrospective analysis of 30 inpatient records of patients who were inpatient treatment from March to August 2020 at the Regional Infectious Diseases Clinical Hospital in Tyumen with a diagnosis of “New coronavirus infection” was carried out. By gender, the patients were divided into two groups: group I – males (50%, n = 15), group II – females (50%, n = 15). The average age of patients in the sample was 49 ± 3.8 years. The diagnosis, in all patients, was confirmed by the isolation of Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 RNA by PCR from the nasopharynx and oropharynx. Patients had a history of various concomitant chronic diseases: bronchial asthma, COPD, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus. Results. When analyzing group I (males), they are more prone to the incidence of a new coronavirus infection, and have suffered a new coronavirus infection in a severe degree due to comorbid pathology, the presence of chronic diseases (COPD, arterial hypertension) and predisposing factors (smoking, non-compliance mask regime, contact with patients suspected of COVID-19, hypothermia, and as for group II (female persons), the tolerance of the new coronavirus infection is much easier, but among chronic diseases type 2 diabetes mellitus and bronchial asthma were noted. Connection. Thus, in male patients of middle working age, among the predisposing factors contributing to the development of a new coronavirus infection, one can distinguish: non-observance of the mask regimen, contact with patients suspicious of COVID-19 (at work, in shops, public transport and healthcare facilities), hypothermia and stay in the draft and smoking, while among the predisposing factors among females, contacts with patients suspected of COVID-19 (with children attending school and / or kindergarten), non-observance of the mask regime were identified.

Existential intertext of J. Fowles’ novel “The Collector”

The purpose of the paper is to outline the components of the existential intertext of J. Fowles’ novel “The Collector”; consider those aspects that remain outside / on the periphery of researchers' attention, focusing on the authenticity of Miranda’s image; identify semantic transformations of pretexts in the mentioned discourse; consider intertextuality and intermediality as the main methods of creating an existential intertext. The image of Miranda Grey, close to the “alter ego” of the writer, is considered as an intertextual-composite construct. We consider its existentiality to be the semantic dominant of an image that absorbs other discourses. It was found that Miranda as an authentic person is defined by a tendency to self-identification; the desire for freedom and transcendence in various dimensions; ability to individualize creative activity and thinking; awareness of personal mortality. The innovativeness of the existential personality created by J. Fowles, which is represented in the gender aspect of “female power” as a marker of its authenticity, is emphasized. J. Fowles’ skill in “balancing” between the external and internal in creating the existential intertext of the work, which is manifested in its figurative system, is proved. The author models the relationship between Miranda, Clegg and Peston as a rivalry for power and the girl’s struggle for the authenticity of the female personality against the “masculine dictate”. Interpretation of a number of situations (“persecutor – victim”; “teacher – student”, “Madonna – fornicatress”, “Higgins – Galatea”, pattern of “lost paradise”, illusory embodiment of fantasies such as “princesse lointaine”, etc.) shows a paradoxical convergence of these opposites of the same axiology. The implicit use of the technique of intertextuality (allusions, quotations) marks J.P. and Clegg as ambivalent characters, demonstrating their duality in the external / internal model. To create an existential intertext, J. Fowles uses different types of ekphrasis (implicit, attributive, imaginary), which perform characterological, metapoetic, aesthetic, symbolic and allegorical functions. Intertextuality (intermediality) promotes text production and generation of meanings.

Leading Change without Formal Authority: The ICC model for the 21st century

Change seems to be a constant feature of the 21st century workplace. Successful organisations embrace change and make sure the personnel are valued, and that they remain engaged and motivated. Employers do not require to formally be in charge of a group of people to be called leader, but demonstrating leadership is an important feature for employees at every level of an organization. Women face a diverse range of difficulties in today’s workplace, and therefore this study aims to focus on the phenomenon of leading change without formal authority and develop a model for women to bring about change within their working climate. This conceptual research aims to identify novel connections between the concepts of leadership and feminism and in consideration of the features of the 21st century workplace. Reviewing the relevant literature particularly around the leadership qualities (drive, motivation, honesty, self-confidence, cognitive ability, and knowledge of the business) this study proposes dedication, political skill and sincerity as qualities of leadership without formal authority. Since, male and female personalities appear to be different in a number of aspects, the basic five personality qualities (known as the Big Five) are reviewed: neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. Reviewing models of change as well as females’ qualities, this study suggests a model for leading change without formal authority including Identifying gaps, Connecting with emotions, and Committing to change (ICC model).

Remarks on lexical adaptation of loanwords in the Slovak language (based on the blog nomination family)

Abstract The case study concentrates on a lexical adaptation of the nouns weblog and blog in the Slovak language. The processes of borrowing and subsequent adaptation are analysed in accordance with the theory of lexical motivation (TLM). Lexical adaptation represents a process on the basis of which a loanword is incorporated into the system of the borrowing language (L2), i.e. serving as an underlying, motivating word for coining new lexemes, and thus generates a nomination family (nomination nest). The concept of the nomination family is based on the understanding of the term word-formation nest, commonly used in derivatology. The nomination family is a cluster of all lexemes (single-word, or multi-word expressions), which are grouped around the initial, underlying, motivating loanword on the basis of formal and semantical relationships. The nomination family of the loanwords weblog and blog is substantial, and includes more than 200 entries. Both initial lexemes (weblog, blog) are taken from English (using the terminology of TLM, the concept of interlingual motivation is employed) while the nomination relationship – abbreviation (weblog → blog) has been transferred from L1 to L2. The word blog is thus polymotivated, its formation can be viewed in a twofold way: (a) as a loanword it has been borrowed from L1 (interlingual motivation), (b) as an abbreviation it has been formed from weblog (abbreviation motivation). A number of entries have been taken over and integrated at the same time (e.g. bloger, bloging, foodblog, foodbloging etc.) into the blog nomination family in the Slovak language. The impact of word-formation is extraordinarily evident in the formation from the word blog, cf. words denoting male and female persons (bloger, blogerka), adjectives (blogový, blogerský), verbs (blogovať), and notably compounds and their derivatives (videoblog, videoblogový, videoblogovať, videobloger, foodblog, foodbloger, foodblogerka, mikroblog, mikroblogovať, mikroblogový, etc.). Even though almost half of derivatives can be classified as nonce-formations, this kind of word-formation manifests a huge potentiality of word-formation motivation in the Slovak language. Moreover, a significant place in the blog nomination family is held by multiword expressions such as politický blog ‚political blog‘, cestovateľský blog ‚travel blog‘. In addition, competition between multi-word expressions and semantically identical compounds (technologický blog – techblog) is rare. A complex notion to be denominated is predominantly expressed either by means of a multi-word expression (finančný blog ‚financial blog‘, knižný blog ‚book blog‘), or a compound (foodblog, mikroblog).

The women in situation of gaslighting – risk identification in the work environment

Abstract Background As a contemporary form of “workplace harassment' (WH) is reported gaslighting. Preston Ni, defines it as ‘A form of constant manipulation and brainwashing…' The phenomenon is presented as mainly affecting the woman in the workplace. The aim of the study is to determine and identify the risk of subjecting a woman in the workplace in Bulgaria to this form of psychological pressure gaslighting, in favor of building a risk reduction program cause. Methods Empirical sociological research (ESR) among working women for period of 10 years in Sofia (around 2 million citizens), Bulgaria. An anonymous survey of 2,000 working women between the ages of 30 and 65 was conducted. The questionnaire of the respondents with only more than 5 years of work experience are included. Results Of the surveyed 25% are between 30-40 years, about 47% are 41-50 years, about 25% are 51-60 years and about 3% are 61-65 years. The result of the study indicates that mostly women between 41 and 50 years are subjected to psychological pressure by a man at work (about 45%), about 15% - are 51-60 years, only about 5% of women 31-40 years, and less 2% over 61. All of them are described as introverted. Mostly women with a high level of education have remained mentally resistant to gaslighting - about 35% of respondents, and less than 5% of them have shown higher creativity against the background of psychological pressure. In almost 1/3 of those subjected to prolonged mental harassment, were diagnosed for the first time, including: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (5%); arterial hypertension (about 10%); ischemic disease (about 15%). Half of them are presented with depression. Conclusions Gaslighting is a hidden psychological violence against a female person based on hate speech and demonstration of power. Gaslighting is defined as a real risk among women, mostly of the introverted type. Emotional plasticity based on knowledge and smart has a positive effect in situation of gaslighting. Key messages Gaslighting can lead to lack of confidence, clinical depression, distress and related physical illnesses. Early risk detection provides advantages for early reduction and optimization of the corporate culture of the department and the institution and in favor of building a risk reduction program.

TRIOGENESIS OF EXTREME HETERO-AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR IN PSYCHIATRIC FORENSIC EXPERT PRACTICE

An individual's behavior can be defined as a set of complex reactions of the body to internal and external stimuli. Case description: We present a case of a young adult student who, under the circumstances of an anomic environment, causes a female person multiple stab wounds to the cervical region. The patient has an addiction to virtual reality, personal psychiatric history of a depressive disorder, emotional and anxious behavioral disorders, as he was a regular cannabis user. The young man was attending an event where he was consuming alcohol and banned substances (Ecstasy), whose effect combined with antidepressants creates a virtual reality in which the individual has a particular mental state, having the impression that bystanders want to hurt him. Under the impulse of this state, the individual uses a bladed weapon and causes multiple wounds to the victim. The patient is examined in the psychiatric forensic examination commission to determine the discernment at the time of the act of violence and for recommendations regarding safety measures. Conclusion: The approach of hetero-aggression behaviour is based on three categories of causal factors, in a triune concept that implies the consequence of the interaction of the existential environment, with the personality structure of the young individual and with the circumstantial factors that precipitate the act.

Effects of male and female personality on sexual cannibalism in the springbok mantis

Behaviours that are consistent across contexts (also known as behavioural syndromes) can have evolutionary implications, but their role in scenarios where the sexes conflict, such as sexual cannibalism, is poorly understood. While some research has focused on aggressive personality in females and its role in determining cannibalistic attack, effects of male personality have rarely been explored. Male activity as a personality trait could be an important mediator of sexual cannibalism if it modulates how quickly or carelessly males approach females, but such a relationship has never been tested. Here, we used the springbok mantis, Miomantis caffra , to explore effects of male activity levels and female aggressiveness on mating behaviour and sexual cannibalism. We found that male activity and subadult female aggressiveness were repeatable, although the latter only marginally so. Females that were aggressive as juveniles were not more likely to cannibalize males when adult following physical interaction, but males made physical contact with these females sooner and more often. More active males were both faster and more likely to interact with females, but were not more likely to be cannibalized in the process. We also found that female age influenced sexual interactions: younger females were more likely to cannibalize males. Taken together, our results suggest that both male and female personality influence the likelihood of sexual encounter, but have little effect on the likelihood of cannibalism. Our study highlights the potential for the personality traits of both sexes to influence mating dynamics in sexually cannibalistic species. • Females were barely consistent in their aggressiveness as subadults. • Male activity was consistent in the adult stage. • Males interacted sooner and more often with females that were more aggressive. • More active males made physical contact with females earlier and more frequently. • Older females were less likely to cannibalize males that interacted with them.

Association of rs12122341 polymorphism with the development of acute cerebrovascular event

Abstract Purpose To study SNP rs12122341 (C> G) with development of Acute Cerebrovascular Event in the patients with cardiovascular pathology and risk factors of its development who are representatives of the east Siberian population. Material and methods 260 patients with Acute Cerebrovascular Event participated in a research (age [57.0; 51.0–62.0]) and 272 patients of control group (age [55.0; 51.0–62.0].). Among the patients who transferred Acute Cerebrovascular Event, 157 men and 103 women. The control group included 170 men and 102 women. Inspection of the main group included: collecting complaints, anamnesis, clinical examination, computer tomography of a brain, electrocardiography, echo, ultrasonic of arteries, daily monitoring of arterial blood pressure and cardiac rhythm, analysis of a coagulant system of blood. Patients of the main group had the following cardiovascular pathology and risk factors: arterial hypertension, supraventricular tachycardia, dislipidemiya, atherosclerosis brachiocephalic of arteries, disturbances of a system of a hemostasis. The control group is examined within the international HAPIEE project. The molecular and genetic research was conducted by PCR method in real time. Statistical processing of material was carried out with use of set of the Statistica for Windows 7.0, Excel and SPSS 22 application programs. Results As a result of a research gender differences in functions of genotypes of SNP rs12122341 are set (C> G). So, for males risk factor of Acute Cerebrovascular Event is the genotype of CC, for female persons – CG genotype. In the general group of patients with Acute Cerebrovascular Event and also in subgroups of patients with different cardiovascular pathology and risk factors of statistically significant differences in frequencies of genotypes and alleles it is not revealed. Conclusion A genotype of the CC SNP rs12122341 (C> G) the risk of development of Acute Cerebrovascular Event in males in comparison with genotypes of CG and GG (p=0.009 raises; OR 1.83, 95% of CI: 1.16–2.91). The genotype of CG performs protective function concerning development of Acute Cerebrovascular Event in males. At female persons risk factor of development of Acute Cerebrovascular Event is CG genotype. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding sources: None.
