Le R-Imaginaire, interrogation de la figure mythologique de la femme et prolégomènes d’une condition de vie heureuse de la femme dans Mâ et Le cri que tu pousses ne réveillera personne

Mâ and Le cri que tu pousses ne réveillera personne by Gaston-Paul Effa, like La Répudiation by Rachid Boudjedra and Cueillez-moi pretty gentlemen by Bessora, explore the condition of women. In the two novels by the Franco-Cameroonian, the female and feminist characters summon up genetic imaginations that question the figure of man and woman. This contextualized recovery of imagination is what should be called the RImaginary. A comparative analysis of the treatment of male and female figures in these myths allows them to be classified into two categories. A first category made up of a single myth holds women responsible for the advent of death in humanity, and a second category made up of four myths presents women as a sacred, vigilant and loyal creature, contrary to the demonized man. If the first category is invoked by the female characters as the anchor of their social unease, they evoke the imaginations valorizing the female figure to justify their original dignity and consequently their merit of a preponderant social place. A behavioral analysis of female and male characters on the basis of this feminine awareness makes it possible to notice a fair living environment where women and men enjoy the same life chances and can perform the same tasks.

MEMAKNAI TRADISI TAU TAIS DAN PENGARUHNYA TERHADAP PENGEMBANGAN IMAN KAUM PEREMPUAN SUKU TAHILA PERSPEKTIF MULIERIS DIGNITATEM

The Tahila tribe is a community group that always tries to preserve culture. The culture that is always passed down is tau tais. Tau tais is a tradition that has been carried out by the people of the Tahila tribe since time immemorial. In this tradition they are directed to change bad habits that always cause problems. The problem that often occurs in the Tahila tribe is regarding the position of women (wives) in front of their husbands. This situation makes some women feel depressed and down so that in the end they close themselves off from being involved in social activities and religious activities.This research aims to determine: (1) the influence of the tau tais tradition on the development of the faith of Tahila tribe women; and (2) the meaning of the tau tais tradition in the Mulieris Dignitatem perspective. The model or type of research used by the author is a descriptive method. The research was carried out using a qualitative approach or research based on nature (natural settings) with the data sources being traditional leaders, community leaders, religious leaders and women figures in the Tahila Tribe. The Tahila Tribe is a community group that is involved in all activities, be it social, economic or religious activities. Their involvement really ensures the continuity and existence of culture. However, the issue of the role and position of women is a problem that exists in the Tahila tribe. Women are considered a secondary group and are only recognized as a complementary and additional group. Therefore, the tau tais tradition has become a real manifestation and step to change the bad views of society, especially their husbands, towards women.

The Role of Christian Women in Ritual Murder Accusations in the 16th–18th centuries

The main aim of this paper is to discuss the role of Christian women in ritual murder accusations that took place in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth from the 16th to the 18th centuries. Although the specificity of this issue might suggest that only the figures of Jewish women were considered, the reality was in fact quite different. In many cases, the deeds of Christian women were the most important element determining the course of events. Particular attention is given here to the various roles assigned to Christian women. They were perceived not only as accusers and defenders of the faith, but also as betrayers and accomplices to crimes. As such, it is necessary to consider their motives as well as the position and roles traditionally attributed to women in Christian culture. This study is based first and foremost on anti-Jewish booklets printed within the territory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth between 1546 and 1772, but also draws upon information from trial records relating to the cases of ritual murder accusations, which serve as complementary sources. The comparison of these two different sources makes it possible to arrive at a clearer picture of the past and to achieve a better understanding of the issues reshaped by the authors of the booklets. Because of that, anti-Jewish literature took the form of a specific kind of manipulation that used fear and anxiety to create a social reality that profoundly shaped attitudes towards Jews and women of the Christian faith.

Nurturing Professionals: De Facto Maternal Roles in British New Woman Novels, 1880–1900

Abstract This article situates the modern ideals of female motherhood and professionalism in the fin de siècle creation of the professional New Woman in Britain, and posits that future feminist discourses would find value in identifying similar strands of commonality with underrated historical feminist movements. Presenting snapshots of nineteenth-century British novelistic plots, this article shows how altered settings and character types in early, mid, and late Victorian novels do not diminish the Western investment in marriage and procreation as the future of culture, civilization, and hegemony. The article then analyzes how late Victorian narratives reconceptualize maternity as civic duty. Consequently, the physicality of biological motherhood and the complex Victorian epistemologies about sex and sexuality are relegated to animality with distinctly classist and racist connotations. Unwanted birth, along with its discomfiting relationship with infanticide in Victorian society, is subtly pushed into the sexualized realm of the lower classes or foreign, other races. Finally, this article explores the figure of the maternal professional woman, de facto non-biological mothers to childlike figures in the interest of civic duty that emerged, fairly clearly, from the discursive construction of the proto-professional New Woman in the fin de siècle. In this way, this article argues that the ideal of the New Woman gave rise to the modern notion of female professionalism that is nurturing and maternal, and involved the rearing of both biological and non-biological children.

Exploring attachment and couple relationships in endometriosis: A pilot study

Introduction: Endometriosis is the therapeutic and clinical complexity extends beyond its effects on the body’s organic system, with psychological and social impacts. However, studies analyzing the quality of attachment and couple adjustment, beyond the effects on sexuality and fertility, are currently lacking. Methods: The main objective of this study was to investigate the quality of past attachment by means of the Parental Bonding Instrument, current attachment through the Relationship Questionnaire, and the perception of couple quality and satisfaction by means of the Dyadic Adjustment Scale, in a sample of 68 women aged between 23 and 54 years. Results: The analysis revealed that women with endometriosis reported experiencing greater paternal and maternal control, and less paternal care compared to those in the control group. Moreover, women in the endometriosis group exhibited a higher degree of insecure attachment in adult intimate relationships when compared to the predominantly secure control group. Regarding the DAS, women with endometriosis reported lower scores than the control group. Conclusion: Despite the limitations of a pilot study, it provides a foundational basis for future research aiming to explore endometriosis within the context of women’s relationships. It also contributes to the planning of prevention and support programs for significant figures in women’s lives.

Features of the course of external genital endometriosis due to cervical pathology

Background. In modern literature, there is a limited number of publications devoted to the characteristics of the course of endometriosis in patients with cervical diseases (CD), the choice of management tactics for cervical diseases and the prevention of relapses of these diseases.Objective. To analyze clinical, anamnestic and laboratory data in patients of reproductive age with a combination of benign cervical diseases and external genital endometriosis.Materials and methods. A retrospective cohort study was conducted that included 100 women of reproductive age with external genital endometriosis. The main group consisted of 56 patients with a combination of benign cervical diseases and external genital endometriosis. The comparison group consisted of 44 patients with external genital endometriosis without cervical cancer. An assessment was made of clinical and anamnestic data, the results of a cytological examination of a cervical smear, extended colposcopy and the level of hormones AMH, FSH, estradiol, performed by enzyme immunoassay on days 2-5 of the menstrual cycle. Statistical analysis was carried out using the SPSS Statistics 26.0 program.Results. External genital endometriosis in 56% of cases is associated with benign cervical diseases, in the structure of which non-inflammatory diseases predominate (63%). Inflammatory diseases of the cervix were observed in 16% of patients, and combined pathology of the cervix was observed in 21% of women with external genital endometriosis. The presence of concomitant cervical pathology in 83.3% of cases is accompanied by endometriosis-associated infertility, this is significantly more common than in patients with inflammatory (22.2%) and non-inflammatory (42.9%) cervical diseases, p < 0.05. Surgical treatment of endometriosis did not lead to pregnancy within one year after surgery in any planning patient with concomitant cervical pathology (0/11); this figure in women with non-inflammatory cervical diseases was 14.3% (4/32), whereas in 75.0% (3/4) with inflammatory diseases of the cervix, pregnancy occurred within a year after surgery, p<0.05. In turn, the presence of inflammatory cervical diseases was associated with a significantly lower level of AMH (1.4±0.5 ng/ml) compared to patients with non-inflammatory cervical diseases (3.0±0.4 ng/ml) and combined cervical cancer pathology (3.4±0.5 ng/ml), p<0.017. A significant decrease in ovarian reserve in the future can also lead to impaired fertility in this category of patients.Conclusion. The results of the study indicate the need for a comprehensive assessment of the condition of the cervix in patients with genital endometriosis, including a thorough history taking, cytological examination and extended colposcopy in combination with determination of HPV virus carriage. Timely measures for the diagnosis and treatment of cervical diseases in patients with endometriosis-associated infertility will improve fertility rates in this category of patients.

Sexual dissidence and women’s citizenship: the cases of early twentieth-century Spain and Greece

ABSTRACT This essay examines depictions of modernity in two novels from the peripheral European nations of Spain and Greece through the lens of lesbian sociability. I am interested in the social anxieties that stem from positioning the figure of the homosexual woman in the frame of historical and ideological unrest. I showcase the novels Zezé (Ángeles Vicente, 1909) and Η ϵρωμένη της (The Two Lovers, Dora Rosetti, 1929). In the context of major debacles (Spain,1898; Greece, 1922), the protagonists of the novels make apparent the changes dissident sexuality triggers in the social realm, from culture to economy and the constitution of the labor force, from family to political participation. Using sapphic desire as her vantage point, Vicente examines women's presence in entertainment and traveling, while Rosetti accounts for the academic advancement and professionalization of lesbians in the sciences and the industrial sector. The texts challenge common assumptions of belonging, for their protagonists physically separate from the national body to test and taste the full extension of their freedom. Both Vicente and Rosetti defy social institutions such as marriage and reproduction, and obliquely reveal the deep connections between intimacy among lesbians and the history of modernization in leisure, traveling, and immigration.

Perlawanan perempuan yang terpinggirkan dalam Novel “Anak Semua Bangsa” Karya Paramodya Ananta Toer

This research aims to analyze the novel "Children of All Nations" by Pramoedya Ananta Toer in the context of the struggle of oppressed women in Dutch colonial society. This analysis uses a feminist approach, focusing on the resistance of marginalized women. This research uses a qualitative descriptive methodology, where reading and note-taking techniques are applied in the data collection process. Reading techniques are used to understand and interpret the content of the text, while note-taking techniques focus on female characters in the novel who experience various types of gender-based oppression and injustice. The results of text analysis show that in the patriarchal culture of the Dutch East Indies colonial era, indigenous women figures such as Nyai Ontosoroh aggressively resisted oppression and fought for the rights of women who were always oppressed and marginalized. This research found that women are often marginalized and disadvantaged in societies dominated by men since the colonial era. In conclusion, it is hoped that the findings of this research will help to better understand the resistance of marginalized women in historical and social contexts. Keywords: Feminism, Resistance, Marginalized

(Im)Possibilities of Development: Women and the Paradox of Growth in the Malaysian Novel

Abstract: Though women figure prominently in the discourses of postcolonial nations that concern development, these discourses position women in a way that vacillates between tradition, which needs to be preserved, and modernization, essential for "catching up" to the developed or so-called first world. This article approaches the ambivalence surrounding the question of women and development through the lens of literature. It turns to two turn-of-the-century novels, Chuah Guat Eng's Echoes of Silence (1994) and Yang-May Ooi's The Flame Tree (1998), to problematize the depiction of the "Third World" woman and development in colonial and postcolonial Malaysia. The article explores the coloniality embedded within narratives of growth of the women protagonists against the backdrop of the developing nation—and highlights when the conditions for women underwent far-reaching changes, for instance, at the end of colonial rule, when women became a part of an independent social and political nation, and persistent structures of marginalization and discrimination resulted in decreased opportunities for women. The article's focus on Malaysian Chinese writers foregrounds the colonial constructions of race and gender that Malaysia inherited from the colonizers, which continues to shape the lives of postcolonial subjects. The two novels provide a glimpse of the problems underlying the developmental agendas in postcolonial nations and call for a shift in the understanding of development—from a prescriptive sense of "how it should be for the third-world women" to a consideration of national and global frameworks of development that limit the choices and agency of women.

‘The right to fall in love and kiss without consequences’: on racialized Muslim women, ‘mixed’ intimacies, and Dutch sexual exceptionalism

ABSTRACT What does political concern with ‘mixed’ intimacies articulate about the nation? This article unpacks this question by analysing a Dutch poster campaign on self-determination, organized by the Rotterdam municipality and a feminist NGO, that visualized ‘mixed’ couples intimately kissing. It uses a visual analysis of the posters, combined with a post-structural policy analysis of a variety of documents that were essential to the production of this campaign. First, the article argues that the campaign centred on the racialized figure of the Muslim woman, problematizing her self-determination through a framework of liberal-secular notions of freedom and agency. Then, by historicizing the Dutch preoccupation with ‘mixed’ intimacies as a mode of (colonial) governance, the article accounts for how the campaign engages with particular kinds of ‘mixing’ to underscore Dutch sexual exceptionalism. The article argues the campaign can be seen as part of the contemporary configuration of the Dutch ‘Muslim Question’, mobilizing the intimate lives of racialized Muslim women to problematize Muslims as deviant populations. Overall, this article explores how representations of, and discourses on ‘mixed’ intimacies can be used as prisms to study the gendered and racialized state management of population, as well as (shifting) imaginaries of the nation in the Netherlands.

Transition between cardiometabolic conditions and body weight among women: which paths increase the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases?

Previous studies investigated the association of body weight and hypertension with risk of incident cardiometabolic multimorbidity. Our aim was to estimate the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease later in life for subjects with different progression patterns of overweight, obesity, and hypertension in mid-life. This was a prospective cohort study in which data from 12,784 participants in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health were used. Multistate model was used to study the progression pattern of overweight, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease over the life course. The cumulative incidence of diabetes and cardiovascular disease up to the age of 73 was estimated for women with different patterns of other conditions. The six most common paths and corresponding cumulative incidences for diabetes were overweight 5.1%, obesity 11.5%, hypertension 6.9%, progression from overweight to obesity 8.2%, overweight and hypertension 12.1%, and obesity and hypertension 36.8%. For women with diabetes and other conditions, the cumulative incidence of cardiovascular disease (heart disease or stroke) as the next immediate condition was 22.4%. The corresponding figure for women who only had a report of diabetes but did not have high body weight or hypertension was 8.3%. The higher risk of transition from healthy state to a cardiometabolic condition was associated with low education, income stress, smoking, not drinking alcohol (compared to low drinkers), physical inactivity, and high perceived stress. Women with obesity and hypertension in middle-age had a substantially higher risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease than women without these potentially preventable conditions.

Women, Film and Politics in the Islamic Republic of Iran 1979-2005; A Perspective from Learning from Experience and Performance Theory

Images in popular culture provide essential information about the socio-political situation and the self-realisation of gender roles in society. The transformation of women characters in Iranian films after the 1980s has occupied a certain space in scholarship, however everyday self-experiences in the streets and its relation to self realization and women figures are barely included into the analysis. Based on learning from experience, affect and performance theory, this paper focesses on two prominent female stars of Iranian cinema: Niki Karimi and Hediye Tehrani as image transformers in a period of cultural evolution and the smile of women that fades away from the streets. The analysis begins with a general examination of the interaction between politics and culture through the main currents in Iranian cinema. In this part, a periodization of the post-revolution era in Iran is presented through cultural products, especially Iranian films such as the religious era, the war and post-war era, the pastoral era, and the critical era. The last part compares two famous women's images, Niki Karimi and Hediye Tehrani, and shows how this periodization helps to understand the changes in women’s self realization and body politics in everyday life after the revolution.

WPPM Index Reporting – How can the key figure of women's quota be appropriately integrated into a reporting system?

While women in particular were employed less or not at all in the companies during the Corona crisis period and were unable to participate in the labour market, the number of women in the 40 DAX companies has currently increased again, so that their participation in management and supervisory boards has also increased. In order to ensure better measurability, relevant key figures must be developed that can better reflect the development of women in companies. After the Corona crisis period, management reporting is being re-established in many companies. Innovative key figures are coming into the focus of management and are additionally reported to the individual management levels in favour of traditional key figures. This means that qualitative indicators such as the gender quota and the Women Process Performance Measurement Index (WPPM Index) can ideally be included in management reporting. The following article shows what such a report could look like.

Empowering Self-Care: Caring Things in Alice Dunbar-Nelson's 1890s "New Woman" Short Fiction.

Alice Dunbar-Nelson is mostly remembered as a poet, activist, and ex-wife of Paul Laurence Dunbar. Her volume The Goodness of St. Rocque and Other Stories (1899) has been largely overshadowed as a result. Yet, the collection contains a portfolio of heroines analogous and contemporaneous to the famed New Woman figure of the fin de siècle. In this article, I consider Dunbar-Nelson's heroines in light of their New Woman-esque agency and autonomy as they find remedies and power in objects and materials steeped in New Orleans's cultural heritage. Ceded neither social nor political self-governance nor domestic comfort, this article reads these transcendental, metaphysical objects as sources of self-care. With close analysis of "The Goodness of St. Rocque," "Tony's Wife," and "Little Miss Sophie," I argue that Dunbar-Nelson's protagonists exert influence over their lives, specifically in the negotiation of romantic relationships, through voodoo charms, Catholic candles, tarot cards, sewing machines, and knitting needles. Covering courtship, break-ups, and unhappy marriages, I demonstrate the ways in which these empowering spiritual objects respond to health concerns, including malnutrition and domestic violence, in turn, situating them as alternatives to patriarchal and historically racist medical institutions. Valorizing the cultural milieu of New Orleans and the customs of the Caribbean and European heritage, and thereby conveying Dunbar-Nelson's resistance to white and male supremacist ideologies in late-nineteenth-century Southern America, the article ultimately assesses the parallels with (predominantly white) New Woman fiction, through shared themes of fraught heterosexual dynamics and women's declining health.

Teaching about non-deterministic physics: an almost forgotten fundamental contribution of Marie Curie

The first historical steps of radioactivity research offer an excellent opportunity to teach a key concept of modern physics: non-deterministic phenomena. However, this opportunity is often wasted because of historical misconceptions and of the irrational fear of radioactive effects. We propose here a lecturing strategy - primarily for undergraduate students - based on interesting historical facts. In particular, on a key conceptual contribution by Marie Curie, an attractive figure for the young women and men of today. Paradoxically, this milestone is almost unknown, whereas it should contribute to her immortal fame -- perhaps as much as the discovery of radium.

Building program "wellness" for the correction of the figure of women of the first mature age

This article examines the importance of an approach to health and weight loss through the prism of the concept of Wellness in women. "Wellness" is a global approach to health care, covering physical, emotional and social well-being. The author emphasizes the importance of integrating "Wellness" into everyday life in order to achieve a sustainable and comprehensive approach to maintaining health and achieving weight loss goals.
 The article discusses the key components of wellness for women, including physical activity, nutrition, stress management, and psychological well-being. Practical tips and recommendations aimed at creating a healthy lifestyle adapted to the individual needs of women are provided.
 The article also emphasizes the importance of self-respect and a positive attitude towards one's body. "Wellness" calls for understanding the unique needs of each woman and creating a harmonious balance between physical and emotional well- being. The article provides practical advice on how to integrate simple exercise and healthy skills into women's busy daily lives.
 The following methods were used to achieve the goal: theoretical analysis and data processing, descriptive method, classification, systematization and generalization of scientific and methodical literature, sociological research methods and methods of mathematical statistics.
 The research was carried out at NUFVSU, at the Department of Health, Fitness and Recreation, as well as at the fitness studio "GLOW FLY&DANCE" in Kyiv. Women in the first period of adulthood who work in the fitness studio "GLOW FLY&DANCE" took part in the research. The total number of women is 40.
 Considering the effectiveness of a complex of wellness programs in correcting the figure of women in the first period of adulthood, a complex of high-interval training, cosmetology procedures, SPA procedures, as well as general nutritional recommendations was selected.
 Prospects for further research. Further research will be aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of the proposed program.

Eating Disorders in Men.

Eating disorders are seen mainly as a problem affecting women, not just by the public at large, but also in specialized circles. Although it is true that more women than men suffer from all types of eating disorder, pertinent reviews have clearly shown that they do indeed occur in men, and that the available evidence on the matter is limited. The stigmatization of men with eating disorders makes it harder for these men, and for the relevant professionals, to recognize the symptoms and to seek or provide help. This review is based on publications retrieved by a selective search in PubMed on the epidemiological, diagnostic, clinical, and therapeutic aspects of eating disorders in men. Current estimated lifetime prevalences in men are 0.2% for anorexia nervosa, 0.6% for bulimia nervosa, and 1% for bingeeating disorder; the corresponding figures for women are 1.4%, 1.9%, and 2.8%. Men and women may display different manifestations. Women are thought to be mainly seeking a slim figure and weight reduction; men, a muscular build. The established Germanlanguage screening and diagnostic tools, however, do not cover the types of symptoms that are more common in men. Little is known about whether treatment yields comparable results in men and women. It is important to combat the stigmati - zation of men with eating disorders and to remove the obstacles to their appropriate diagnosis and treatment. The current methods of screening and diagnosis need to be adapted to take account of the special aspects of abnormal eating behavior in men. It remains unclear whether and how the disorderspecific treatment of these conditions in men should differ from their treatment in women.

Merkez Karacaören Köyünden (Hadriani) Bir Mezar Steli

The tomb stele in good condition, which was acquired to the Burdur Museum by a citizen, is preserved in the garden of the museum. The stele from Karacaören village of the central district of the province must have been carved in an itinerant workshop in Hadriani. The tomb stele, which has a flat lower part and a triangular upper part, features a standing man and a woman in the scene. Both figures are of the “Dioscurides” type. This type, which is quite common in the man figures of the Roman Imperial period, is also preferred for the woman figures. The most distinctive features of this type are that the right arm, bent at the elbow with the posture of the figures, is enclosed in a sling formed from the himation, while the left arm adjacent to the body is slightly bent at the elbow and extended downwards, holding the end of the himation. This type also represents the status of the man figure and his family. The tomb stele, which is dated to the Roman Imperial period with its rather simple appearance, has been suggested a period based on the stylistic evaluations of the man and woman figures. The hairstyle of the man figure is similar to that of the portrait of Traianus in type I. The hair fashion in the woman portrait is similar to that in the “Ceres” type portrait of Vibia Sabina, the wife of Hadrianus (117-138 AD). In addition to this hairstyle/fashion, other stylistic features of the figures reflect the stylistic characteristics of the Traianus (98-117 AD) period. As a result of the analyzes, the tomb stele was dated to the Late Traianus-Early Hadrianus period.

Angry women in horror: Challenging traditional notions of femininity

One of the major contributions to popular culture by feminist movements has been that of the figure of the angry woman in horror cinema. Although the expression of female rage challenges traditional notions of femininity and disassociates strength and power from masculinity, it also makes women to be portrayed as perverse and monstrous. With this videographic essay, I want, on the one hand, to show how the rage of women protagonists in horror has nevertheless recently been depicted as the complex emotion it is. On the other hand, this video essay proposes to emphasize the idea of rage as a site of political resistance that can be channelled into a productive form of social change and justice. To this end, I focus on a scene from Midsommar (Aster, 2019) in which a group of women reflect the protagonist’s emotions of rage and pain as a form of healing. Their cries connect to those of the women who in 1984 protested nuclear weapons in Greenham (England), weaponizing traditional notions of femininity to denounce an environmental injustice.
