Exploring self-exclusion as a gendered barrier in Spanish universities. A mixed methodological study

Women continue to be under-represented at the top of the university hierarchy. One of the causes indicated by the literature is women's lower interest and ambition to achieve decision-making and leadership positions compared to men. The objectives of this study were twofold. First, we empirically verified the existence of self-exclusion as an explanatory factor for vertical segregation. Second, the factors that explain this phenomenon were explored and identified from a gender perspective. For this purpose, the experiences and perceptions of the teaching and research staff of eight Spanish universities were analysed using a mixed methodological approach. Data were drawn from questionnaires and semi-structured interviews conducted with 60 academics (30 men and 30 women). The results confirmed that women do not decide to drop out of their careers freely or voluntarily. Female academics' promotion hides a complex discriminatory process. Two interrelated dynamics were identified: (1) the existence of gendered universities and (2) the existence of a motherhood penalty. The findings indicated that academic careers need to be understood as a labyrinth, rather than as a lineal path, where precarious female academics face a web of barriers.

Empowering women for sustainable development through semi-mechanized sheabutter processing in rural North-Western Ghana

This study contributes to the on-going discourse on women's empowerment for achieving the African Union's (AU) Agenda 2063 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We draw on Batliwala's three interrelated approaches to women's empowerment to analyze the extent to which the implementation of a semi-mechanized sheabutter processing project in two rural districts in the Upper West Region of Ghana addresses women's practical needs and strategic interests. Although several studies on women's empowerment through similar project interventions have been undertaken the findings are skewed towards women's practical needs, while limited knowledge is provided on the important question of whether these interventions address women's strategic interests and raise their consciousness necessary for achieving their empowerment-related goals and targets of Agenda 2063 and the SDGs respectively. A qualitative approach was used in the data collection and analysis. It was found out that the project intervention has the potential of reducing poverty and vulnerability in the semi-arid region of the country where the raw material for processing sheabutter is available in large quantities. We further found that this intervention can help improve unequal gender relations and empower women. However, the achievement of these objectives is possible if the implementation of is anchored on a framework that promotes strategic gender interests; including issues of status relative to men, improved decision-making capacity of women at the household and community levels, and equitable access to productive resources. We conclude that, any meaningful progress towards genuine women's empowerment advocated in the AU's Agenda 2063 and the SDGs would require that the current structural issues in the study setting, which remain untouched by instrumentalist interventions such as this, be given critical attention.

Technologies for the Development of Gender Culture in Cooperation With the Family and Educational Institutions

In this article, technologies for the development of high gender culture in cooperation between families and educational institutions, as well as training and retraining of pedagogical specialists in conducting training sessions on the formation of gender culture of students in this regard, do not play a decisive role. On the contrary, the article discusses with the worldview of the teacher, his personal example as a person in the development of girls and boys at school, as well as the desire to clarify and confirm the stereotype of the gender role and gender inequality. Gender equality is consistent not only with the roles, tasks and needs of women and men, but also with the interdependence between them. Gender equality is the process of being fair for women and men. Gender equality requires the same use of socially important financial and spiritual resources, opportunities, conditions, abilities and intellect by women and men. When there is gender inequality in this regard, women's interests are usually limited. Therefore, an important feature of ensuring gender equality is to provide the balance of forces, that is, to create conditions for both men and women to manage their lives, to expand their abilities and potential.

The Development and Influence of Western Feminist Theory on the Laws Related to the Protection of Women's Rights and Interests after the Establishment of New China

The primary research purpose of this paper is to observe the historical process of western feminist theory from entering China to history. Under the influence of Western feminist theories, Chinese scholars perfected and created Chinese women's protection laws and changed social gender issues. This article researches the history of feminist development in China and modern Chinese women's law. The paper analysed the laws related to protecting women's rights and interests in China through the Chinese perspective of Western feminism. This paper aims to explore the development and protection of women's rights and interests in China and then discuss how to optimise and practice feminism-related theories and defend women's rights and interests in China from a legal perspective. The research results show that the western feminist theory has an inseparable enlightenment and construction effect on the Chinese women's protection law. The awakening of China's feminist awareness and China's protection of it are both showing a positive upward trend. The Chinese women's protection law promotes gender equality and comprehensive development of women, raises the importance of all sectors, and strengthens the protection of women's rights and interests.

Topic choice, gendered language, and the under-funding of female scholars in mission-oriented research

We investigate the participation of male and female applicants to a competition for research funding, using an original dataset with detailed information on both successful and unsuccessful applicants to 21 calls by a mission-oriented funding agency. We use this information to construct a fictitious pool of 277,464 potential applicants and to model their probability to submit an application. We find that, even after controlling for productivity, quality of research, seniority, years of career discontinuity, number of prior applications, affiliation, and ethnicity, women were still less likely to apply than men. The lower likelihood of females to apply was not explained by the use of masculine language in the text of the calls. Instead, women's research interests were more distant from the topics of the calls than men's. Topic proximity fully mediated female penalization in the likelihood to apply for research funding. These results are an important heads-up, in view of the increasing focus of governments in mission-oriented programs.

Prophylactic salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy as a two-staged alternative for primary prevention of ovarian cancer in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers: women's point of view.

This study aimed to determine BRCA -mutation carrier women's interest and acceptability of participating in a study examining prophylactic salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy (PSDO) as an alternative to the current recommendation for bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for risk reduction. This is a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study. All women visiting the high-risk clinics for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in a single tertiary medical center were asked to complete a questionnaire concerning the two-stage approach from October 2018 to December 2019. Before completing the questionnaire, detailed explanation was given by a senior physician regarding the procedure, related background, possible risks, and benefits. The study population included 293 women, of whom 183 (62.4%) were BRCA1 mutation carriers, 97 (33.1%) were BRCA2 mutation carriers, and 13 (4.4%) had unknown familial mutation. Risk-reducing surgery was completed in 160 (55.17%) of the women. First-degree and second-degree family history was reported in 166 (57.24%) and 52 (17.9%) of the women, respectively. Among women surveyed, more than half of the women (n = 66 [51%]) who had yet to undergo risk-reducing surgery reported interest in having PSDO. Similarly, among those who had already received prophylactic surgery, 64 (40%) also considered PSDO to be an acceptable alternative. Multivariate logistic regression analysis found family history of related malignancies to be the only independent factor associated with reduced interest in a study of PSDO (odds ratio, 0.15 [95% confidence interval, 0.29-0.77]; P = 0.02). Overall, BRCA -mutation carrier women indicated interest in PSDO risk-reducing surgery, taking into consideration the potential additional risk. These findings suggest that a clinical study exploring the equivalence of PSDO as alternative treatment is feasible.

Knowledge and Interests of Women of Childbearing Age (PUS) about Acetic Acid Visual Inspection (IVA)

Reproductive health is a complete physical, mental and social condition, not only free from disease or disability in all aspects related to the reproductive system, its functions and processes. Cervical cancer is a primary malignant tumor originating from squamous epithelial cells, cancer that occurs in the cervix or cervix which is located between the uterus and the vaginal opening.

Women in local politics: Insights from Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, Indonesia

Aceh is a region that is still strongly implementing Islamic law and a patriarchal political culture. The purpose of this study is to examine the dynamics of women's participation in local Acehnese politics. This study uses a qualitative-exploratory method with a literature study on the dynamics of women's participation in local Acehnese politics. The results of this study indicate that post tsunami 2004 and the 2005 Helsinki MoU agreement had an impact on openness for Acehnese women in the process of becoming members of the legislature, which is currently experiencing obstacles due to structural, socio-cultural, religious issues, ideology, and the dominance of local Aceh political party elites by men. This has greatly affected the representation of women in Aceh's politics governance, even though during the 2009 to 2019 election year the representation of women in Aceh's politics governance has experienced a fairly good trend of increasing. However, what is being pursued is not the number that increases every year, but the process of fulfilling women's political rights in Aceh. The conclusion of this study is the importance of holding a commitment to fight for women's rights so that they are accommodated in public policies that are sensitive to women's interests, not only as a complement to the quota for women's representation in politics-government.

The support of health workers has a high probability of WUS' interest in carrying out an IVA test with an OR of 47.701. Keywords : Interest in Women of Reproductive Age (WUS), Visual Acetic Acid (IVA) Inspection.

Geek girl today, scientist tomorrow? Inclusive experiences and efficacy mediate the link between women's engagement in popular geek culture and STEM career interest

ABSTRACT Evidence suggests that participating in geek pop culture (e.g. fandoms, digital gaming, live action role playing, board gaming, etc.) can enhance women's interest in STEM by increasing their STEM-related efficacy. This study proposed that this effect hinges on the type of social experiences that women have in geek culture. Inclusive experiences were expected to enhance STEM-related efficacy, while experiences of hostile sexism in these spaces were expected to diminish STEM-related efficacy. An online survey of both U.S. MTurk users (N = 77) and undergraduate students (N = 172) under the age of 30 demonstrated that inclusive experiences and STEM-related efficacy does serially mediate the effect of geek culture engagement on interest in STEM careers. A second model examining the indirect effect of geek engagement on STEM career interest through hostile sexism and STEM-efficacy was not significant. These findings underscore the broader implications of creating a welcoming environment for women in geek culture. They also suggest that women who experience hostile sexism in geek culture and continue to participate might have a general tolerance of toxic geek masculinity.

From the perspective of Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory, "The Flowers of War" and "The 13 Flowers of Nanjing"

Brand Equity in Visual Inspection With Acetic Acid and Clinical Breast Examination: A Systematic Review

VIA and CBE examinations are services for the early detection of cervical cancer and breast cancer. The achievements of VIA and CBE examinations in Indonesia in 2019 are still very far from the target set, namely only 12.2% of the total number of women aged 30-50. This study aims to determine the relationship between brand equity, brand awareness, brand image, and brand trust on customer demand for VIA and CBE examinations. This research is a systematic review carried out according to the guidelines protocol of The Center for Review and Dissemination and the Joanna Briggs Institute Guideline and PRISMA checklist. The strategy for finding articles using the PICOS framework was carried out in September-October 2020. The data used included 10 national and international journal articles obtained through the database, namely Garuda, Scopus, Science Direct, Proquest, and SpringerLink. Articles search utilizing keywords and boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT, or AND NOT). The results show that of the 10 articles reviewed, 7 articles studied the VIA test method and 3 articles studied the CBE test method. The outcome in the form of the VIA and CBE test services utilization is influenced by brand equity which consists of brand awareness, brand image, and brand trust. The brand awareness and the brand trust of women towards the VIA and CBE tests are high as well as the brand image of the VIA and CBE tests that are good can increase customer demand for VIA and CBE examinations. It is hoped that health facilities will increase women's interest in utilizing VIA and CBE test services by promoting them effectively.

Navigating underrepresentation and gendered barriers to women's political power: Narratives and experiences of women parliamentarians in Turkey

As women increasingly participate in political decision-making around the world, the research emphasizes the need to further understand how informal barriers shape women's political participation. At the same time, the persistent stability of hybrid political regimes calls for additional inquiry into the impact of hybrid regimes on gender politics and its actors. Based on the case of Turkey, a hybrid regime, this study explores how women MPs navigate gendered, informal obstacles in parliament and to what extent their navigation strategies reflect the broader implications posed by the hybrid regime context. This exploratory study draws on qualitative, in-depth semi-structured interviews with eight women MPs in the Turkish parliament from government and opposition parties. The findings illustrate that navigating the informal barriers women MPs experience in the Turkish parliament happens both individually and in collective ways. Individually, women MPs choose to navigate the informal barriers of gender norms by either assimilating or contrasting the masculine way of doing politics. Collective navigation strategies of women MPs in the Turkish parliament illustrate their approaches to representing women's interests, seeking women's solidarity across the parliament, and linkages with civil society to empower women, which also reflect the different positionings of government and opposition within the Turkish hybrid regime dynamics. The findings reveal the need to further research the complex, dynamic interplay of how informal practices and hybrid regime tactics target gender politics and its actors, while also giving more attention to women's agency in tackling and countering obstacles to their political power within and beyond political institutions.

Joko Widodo Views on Women's Interests Before and During the Pandemic Based on Social-Media

The COVID-19 Pandemic has had many impacts on Indonesian women. As one of the pilot countries for the HeForShe project campaigned by UN Women, it is interesting to analyze how the President of Indonesia responds to this phenomenon. Many studies focus on the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on women. But, there is a lack of research on how the government responds to women's interests during the Pandemic compared to the situation before the Pandemic. Using a qualitative approach, this study analyses how the President of Indonesia views women's interests before and during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Two official social-media of the President of Republic Indonesia Joko Widodo: The Official Twitter Account of the President of Indonesia @jokowi and The Official Facebook Account of The President of Indonesia @Jokowi · Minat are used as the primary data sources. The findings indicate that before the COVID-19 Pandemic, President Joko Widodo gave significant attention to strategic women's interests such as subordination and gender equality. But the situation changed during the Pandemic. The President views the fulfillment of daily needs such as food and health as more urgent for women in the COVID-19 Pandemic than strategic interests. This study highlights that in a crisis, the focus of the government policy is safe for the people first (women and men) to fulfill their basic needs. The gender equality agenda is becoming marginalized.

Cosmetics Advertisement Language through Discursive Psychology

This paper looked into the language used in the advertisement of anti-aging cream based on a discursive psychology approach. The language used in the advertisement mainly raises the women's interest, especially when they hear the word "anti-aging" to resist aging skin, although the old may not be manipulated. This discursive research psychology is the approach used to give an understanding of the discourse phenomenon to show the contribution of creating women's social activity for their lifestyle. The language used in the online advertising course was the research data in this research. The data collection is based on the language used in online advertising discourse based on five kinds of cosmetics advertisement and 12 carrier women with 30-45 years old who lived in Jakarta. The qualitative descriptive is used to explain the phenomenon and social phenomena related to advertisement discourse and women's needs; then, the data were analyzed based on the interview. This research finding shows that, firstly, the advertisement's implicit meaning encourages and drives customers' psychology to try cosmetics. Secondly, the advertisement language's explicit meaning is propagated and seems exaggerated. Thirdly, the advertisement language encourages customers to buy the product due to the social relation and lifestyle.
