“Now she has everything, a happy family story and an Olympic medal”: Representations of Gloria Kotnik in the Slovenian media landscape

Over the last four decades, feminist sports media research has developed into an established transdisciplinary branch of research that contributes to highlighting the contradictions and unevenness of social change at the level of women's sports and its positioning in society. In this context, the increasing media visibility of athlete mothers as an expression of an emerging social phenomenon provides an opportunity to examine and reflect on the patterns of media portrayal of sportswomen. This article focuses on the media representations of Gloria Kotnik, the Slovenian snowboarder and bronze medalist at the 2022 Winter Olympics. Through textual analysis, it attempts to identify how Kotnik was portrayed in selected Slovenian media and what role her motherhood, in particular, played in this. While ambivalence was identified as a predominant pattern in the media representations of Kotnik, the role of motherhood was presented both as something seemingly incompatible with the role of an elite athlete and in a way that perceived these two roles as compatible. Due to the reproduction of traditional gender ideologies and hierarchies, the article problematizes both patterns and concludes by linking the desire for social change with the need to redefine the ethics of care.

Hubungan Peran Suami Dengan Sikap Ibu Dalam Proses Menyusui Bayi Usia 0-6 Bulan

Feeding babies directly from the mother's own breast is breastfeeding. When breastfeeding, mothers need the support of their husband because breastfeeding is not carried out by the mother and baby alone. A husband who is not supportive can affect the mother's emotions, leading baby blues. Emotional support is needed by couples / wives because emotional support affects thoughts, feelings, and sensations that greatly affect the release of oxytocin. Therefore, a husband has a very important role to keep the oxytocin reflex smooth This study aims to determine the relationship between the husband's role and the mother's attitude in the process of breastfeeding babies aged 0-6 months. The research design uses correlational research with a cross-sectional approach. The population and sample were all mothers breastfeeding babies aged 0-6 months at Posyandu in Tales Village. Using a total sampling technique, 30 respondents were obtained. The variables consist of the independent variable, namely the husband's role in mothers breastfeeding babies aged 0-6 months and the dependent variable, namely the mother's attitude in the process of breastfeeding babies aged 0-6 months. Data were collected using a questionnaire on the husband's role in mothers breastfeeding babies aged 0-6 months and the mother's attitude in the process of breastfeeding babies aged 0-6 months. Data processing uses univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi Square test The research results showed that 13 respondents (43.3%) supported their husband's role with a positive maternal attitude. The statistical test results show that the calculated χ2 is 4.41 which is greater than the table χ2 of 3.841, so H1 is accepted. Based on the data above, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between the husband's role and the mother's attitude in the process of breastfeeding babies aged 0-6 months. From the results of this research, it is hoped that health workers can provide health education through classes for pregnant women by involving their husbands when attending classes for pregnant women. From the statistical test, χ2 calculated 9.03. When compared with χ2 table with a significant level of 5% and n = 30 which is 3.841 it is found that χ2 counts > χ2 table

TRANSITION FROM MATERNAL CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE TO PERITONEAL DIALYSIS TREATMENT

Chronic kidney failure (CKF) has become an increasingly important public health issue in our country and worldwide. According to data systems in our country, as of the end of 2022, there were a total of 86,665 patients with chronic kidney failure, and 4.1% of these patients undergo peritoneal dialysis treatment. Peritoneal dialysis requires active participation of the patient in the treatment, and it can lead to negative effects on body image, self-esteem, and sexual relations due to the peritoneal dialysis catheter, causing anxiety and depression in patients and negatively affecting their quality of life. Throughout human life, individuals undergo changes in identity, roles, responsibilities, abilities, and behaviors due to various reasons (illness, pregnancy, death, birth). One of the fundamental duties of nurses is to assist individuals undergoing various transitions in their lives, to support healthy transitions, and to minimize unhealthy transitions. In this study, the process of transition experienced by a healthy woman transitioning to the role of motherhood due to health problems during pregnancy, and transitioning to chronic kidney failure and peritoneal dialysis treatment, is examined based on Meleis' Transition Theory

Gendered processes of recruitment to elite higher educational institutions in mid‐twentieth century Britain

AbstractThis article uses rare and detailed data on matriculants to the University of Oxford during the middle decades of the twentieth century as a prism through which to consider gendered processes of recruitment to elite institutions. The article makes four key claims. First, the broader shifts in middle‐class women's labour market participation in the mid‐century are reflected in patterns of maternal occupation among matriculants, shifting from being predominantly housewives to professionals across the period. Related to this, the fathers of matriculants had similar professions whether their child was male or female, but mothers’ professions varied much more between male and female students. There was much more variation between mothers and fathers of students who attended what we term ‘elite’ schools. Finally, across the mid‐twentieth century, the number of male students from elite schools declined significantly, whereas the number of women students who had attended an ‘elite’ school was much steadier. Given the centrality of Oxford for processes of elite recruitment, these trends in their matriculants will have far wider implications for who gets access to elite positions in the decades after these shifts were occurring, revealing in some ways the continuity of class privilege and the increasingly salient role of mother's occupation in processes of elite reproduction.

비자살적 자해 청소년 자녀를 둔 어머니의 경험에 관한 현상학적 연구

The study delves into the experiences of mothers with adolescents engaging in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors. Giorgi’s phenomenological research method was applied through in-depth interviews with eight mothers. The analysis identified seven components and 20 sub-components forming an intrinsic structure, including: “Feeling crisis due to unexpected rebellious behavior of the adaptable child”, “Experiencing mental shock and confusion upon witnessing the child’s self-injury”, “Encountering frustration and despair leading to a decline in quality of life”, “Reflecting on oneself deeply because of the child”, “Discerning the child’s presence amidst pain”, “Enduring anxiety to connect emotionally with the child”, and “Reassuming the role of a supportive mother for the child’s accommodative life”, These components formed overarching themes, emphasizing the profound impact of maternal involvement on adolescents with NSSI tendencies. The study underscores the significance of understanding mothers’ experiences in addressing adolescent NSSI, offering insights into their crucial role and implications for intervention strategies.

Working Mothers: Good mothering, Parental Guilt and Work Volition

Abstract: Working mothers experience marked work-family conflict which negatively affects their career progression and mental well-being. This study aimed to determine the interrelationship between good mothering expectations, parental guilt and work volition in working mothers. The participants included a total of 150 working mothers between the ages of 21 and 59. The inclusion criterion was working mothers with children of ages 21 or below. The study included participants primarily from India (90.8%), with a smaller representation from Australia (0.7%), the UK (2%), the US (0.7%), Egypt (0.7%), Turkey (0.7%) and Romania (5.4%). Three scales were utilized: the Good mothering Expectations Scale, the Guilt about Parenting Scale, and Work Volition. The results indicate a weak significant correlation between traditional roles and parental guilt (Rho = .345). The significant F-statistic (14.137) with a very low p-value (000) suggests that there are statistically significant differences in parental guilt scores among the traditional roles. No statistically significant relationships were found between guilt about parenting and work volition. The results of the study indicate that working mothers who subscribe to traditional mothering roles face increased amounts of guilt.

Reading Between the Lines: Maternity Benefit Law in India and Whom It Truly Benefits

The gendered and performative role of motherhood, an ideal of patriarchy, has been codified into the letter of the law. A feminist lens has been applied to understand how motherhood and patriarchy interact within the maternity benefit law in India, which is primarily regulated by the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961, as amended in 2017. An attempt is made to determine whether the extant law truly benefits all women equally without discrimination. It is critically examined, using an intersectional approach, to ascertain whether it ensures the welfare of all women or is yet another systemic attempt to further the patriarchy. The progress of the law is evaluated and corporate maternity benefit policies in India are analysed to assess whether the law requires revisions and of what type to achieve its true objective.

The mediating role of mothers’ conflict resolution skills in the relationship between mothers’ communication skills and behavioral problems of children aged 3–6 years

Although studies have revealed the importance and effect of mothers' communication levels on behavioral problems seen in children, the role of the other key variable in this relationship has not been adequately examined. This study aims to test a theoretical model developed based on the relevant literature to evaluate the mediating role of the mother's conflict resolution skills in the relationship between the behavioral problems of children aged 3–6 years and the mother's communication skills. The study was prepared based on the correlational survey model. Its sample consists of 410 mothers who have children in the age group of 3–6 years and live within the borders of Northern Cyprus. The mothers included in the sample were contacted using a stratified sampling method. The personal information form, Communication Skills Scale-Adult Form, Conflict Resolution Scale, and Social Competence and Behavior Assessment Scale were used to collect the data. Statistical data were analyzed using the SPSS 24.0 and Amos 21.0 software. The statistical analysis of the research data indicates that the fit indices, except for RMSEA, demonstrate that the χ2/df value has an acceptable fit and the GFI, NFI, and CFI values fall within the fit limits. According to the research findings, mothers' tendencies in conflict resolution significantly predict children's social competence and behaviors. Furthermore, the study reveals that mothers' communication skills do not significantly predict children's social competence and behaviors. As a result, it is determined that mothers' conflict resolution tendencies mediate the relationship between their communication skills and children's social competence and behaviors. In light of these findings, several recommendations are proposed for future research and practical applications.

Gender, Borders and Boundaries in Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre

The concept of borders and boundaries is one of the important themes in English literature. It might refer to national borders or divisions within countries or symbolize physical barriers, societal divisions or personal limitations. Metaphorically, borders and boundaries might mean the boundaries based on caste, color, creed or sex or represent expectations and prejudices or search for selfhood and identity. Writers from the marginalized communities take up the themes of construction of identity in their writing. Similarly, African-American writers, while addressing the issues of race, gender and class, illustrate their struggle and experiences. Their own lives serve as an inspiration to write about the trauma of displacement and slavery. The English novel in the 18th and 19th century largely focused on women primarily confined to the roles of wife, mother and homemaker. However, some novelists such as Mary Wollstonecraft and Aphra Behn challenged gender stereotypes and advocated for greater female autonomy and intellectual freedom. Similarly, Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell, Thomas Hardy, Charlotte Bronte etc. questioned the prevailing attitudes and provided a fresh perspective on gender issues. Whereas Jane Austen celebrates intelligent and strong-willed female characters who resist societal pressures, Gaskell delves into the lives of working-class women and those on the margins of society. Similarly, Hardy chooses the sub-title A Pure Woman for his novel Tess of the D’Urbervilles in order to question the Victorian norms. The paper discusses Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and analyses how the novel embodies rebellion against societal constraints by presenting an unconventional heroine who is able to move beyond boundaries and carve her path amid restrictions imposed by society in which she lives.

Mothers’ socioeconomic status and children's status attainment during the Chinese market transition

Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of mothers in children's status attainment process in Western societies. Using pooled data from two nationally representative surveys in China, this study investigates the influence of mothers’ socioeconomic status (education and occupation) on the status attainment of men and women in a socialist country and how maternal impact changed with the market reform. In total, 10,124 sons and 8984 daughters born between 1943 and 1985 were studied. Using chained multiple imputation data and linear regressions, this study finds that mothers’ socioeconomic status matters for both sons’ and daughters’ status attainment and, in the case of daughters, is as important as that of fathers. With the economic transition, the influence of mothers’ education has become more important for both sons’ and daughters’ education and can thus indirectly benefit their occupational status attainment. Mothers’ occupational status, however, has become less important for sons’ and daughters’ occupational status attainment with the transition, whereas the influence of fathers’ occupational status has remained the same. These findings suggest that the re-emergence of traditional gender norms that has accompanied the market reform has played a role in shaping the status attainment process of men and women. Since the reform, the role of mothers has been more restricted to the family domain.

“An Army of Little Mothers”: Progressive Era Eugenic Maternalism and the Medicalization of Motherhood

AbstractThis article explores the role of the Little Mothers’ Leagues in New York City, clubs created by public health authorities to educate working-class girls as young as eight years old who took care of their younger siblings while their parents worked. The Little Mothers’ Leagues served as an essential link between social reform and eugenic public health programming during the first two decades of the twentieth century. Eugenic maternalism, as articulated by the Little Mothers’ Leagues, distilled a sense of Americanness into a set of hygienic practices and rituals that could be easily understood and imitated. Through the Little Mothers’ Leagues, eugenic maternalist reformers addressed essential questions regarding the role of social reform in the “Americanization” process, the role of young girls as citizens and as entry points to the immigrant home, and the extent to which environmental reform could regulate the immigrant family. Examining the Little Mothers’ Leagues as a project that was both eugenic and maternalist allows us to better understand the ways that eugenic thinking permeated popular discourse through child welfare reform and domestic science.

“GOOD GIRLS AND BAD WOLVES?” - A READING OF BLURRED GENDER ROLES AND PARENTHOOD IN THE GRAPHIC NARRATIVES OF THE RED RIDING HOOD

Though not so iconised and popularized as the other fairy tales characters such as Cinderella, Snow White, or Beauty and the Beast, Little Red Riding Hood has seen multifarious subversive revisions and adaptations in modern and postmodern art and literature. The role of motherhood is inextricable from the traditional narratives of the fairy tales; nonetheless, the recent retellings of the story in fiction, poetry, and notably in graphic narratives show a blurring of the gender archetypes. This paper analyzes the blurring of gender boundaries and parenthood in the graphic retelling of the popular fairy tale, Red Riding Hood, namely The Little Red Wolf by Amélie Fléchais, “Red” by Teloka And Pi, and Emily Carroll’s short comics “In Conclusion” and “His Face All Red”. These graphic narratives will be analyzed with the theoretical discourses of Julia Kristeva, Luce Irigaray, and Marina Warner.
