Experiences of Social Burden amongst Survivors of Breast Cancer in Gaza: A qualitative study

PurposeThis qualitative study explores how social-cultural factors can either amplify or attenuate prospects for social support following a breast cancer diagnosis. The aim is to analyse narratives of individuals diagnosed with breast cancer to examine how the illness influences social support and hence their post-illness experiences. MethodsForty semi-structured interviews, including thirty-eight with breast cancer survivors, are analysed using a grounded theory approach. Data were collected between September 2020 and April 2021. ResultsParticipants' perceptions indicate that three main factors influenced experiences and the level of social support received. The first involves stigmatised cancer-related discourses and practices affecting women's social interactions and roles. The second is specific to (ex)married participants. It reveals how the foundation of marriage prior to the illness is a determining and influencing factor in the experience of women after illness. The third demonstrates how specific social identities enable coping, negotiation, and challenging cancer-related stigma, turning their experiences toward positivity. ConclusionsThe study concludes that breast cancer acts as a figurative magnifying glass, illuminating latent social practices in the community. This highlights the need to nurture existing social bonds or address the fragility of ties within distinct social categories. Implications for Cancer SurvivorsThe research suggests implementing customised support interventions aligned with each group of survivors' unique needs. Furthermore, enhancing awareness within patients' social networks regarding the illness and how to provide support, along with enhancing survivors' financial security through economic empowerment, may contribute to more effective coping with the social consequences of the illness.

The effects of women's double working hours on professional nursing practice

Objective: Reflect on the double working day of female nurses and its consequences for professional practice. Methodology: This is a theoretical and reflective study based on the theoretical perspective of the sociology of work, together with the theoretical references of Simone de Beauvoir and Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. A narrative review of the literature was carried out in a non-systematic way in order to establish relationships between the theoretical framework selected and current issues in nursing, as well as women's experiences. Results: The logical-reflective exposition is anchored in three fundamental aspects: the working nurse; the double working day and the health of working nurses. It's not possible to look at women only as workers, since their biological reality is closely linked to their social representation. This implies the need to investigate how the social construction of women directly interferes with their lives in an integral way. Such reflection can contribute to valuing nursing work, as well as fostering discussion about the social role of women. Conclusion: This reflection needs to be present in society as a whole, not just in the context of nursing, so that women's demands, which have been evident throughout history, can be noted.

Lina Mohi Hadi - Almustaqbal University - College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences The role of women's sports is organically linked to the requirements of sustainable development of members of society, the change in women's behavior is linked to the quality of their aspirations towards themselves, as they are often Women athletes are more inclined to assume new responsibilities nominated for their role in society than women who do not practice sports, and their role is affected by the overall structures and conditions that society suffers from, and getting out of this situation cannot succeed unless the relevant authorities contribute to providing opportunities for women to participate in various fields and sports fields for their active roles in achieving the goals of sustainable development for members of society. The neglect or lack of interest in the cultural and social role of women's sports in achieving the development goals of members of society is what prompted the researcher to study this problem, which suffered from neglect. The research aimed to identify the role of women's social and cultural sports and its impact on the formation of women's personality in society and change their behavior and personal and social features, which supports their role in achieving the goals of sustainable development for members of society, because attention to women's sports and giving it precedence in the process of change and development has multiple effects on the role of women .

The impact of biomedical and information technologies on women's social roles

The article examines the possibility of crisis phenomena in society as a result of the leveling of social roles caused by the development of biotechnologies, in particular reproductive and information technologies. In particular, the issues of changing women's social roles under the influence of ART (assisted reproductive technologies) are studied in the article in the context of the philosophy and gender. The author examines in detail the various forms of influence of technological inventions on social roles. Special attention is paid to the importance of preserving the social roles of parents for society. The need to maintain a special bond between parents and children, expressed in traditional social roles, is emphasized. Denial of social roles can cast doubt on belonging to humanity. The author pays special attention to the identity transmitted, in particular, through gender and social roles. The methodology is based on the study of currently known biotechnologies and information technologies, and a philosophical understanding of the impact of these technologies on the social structure of society. In the course of the work, a negative forecast was made: these trends may lead to the collapse of the social structure. The stabilizing role of women will gradually decrease, which will lead to a significant bias towards the male component of social roles. Also, new bioethics based on new reproductive technologies will gradually change social ties. Classical forms of social relations, such as the family, may die out. The author assumes that in the course of the gradual exclusion of women from the process of childbearing and reproduction of the population, society and social relations will be destroyed. The novelty of the research lies in the original focus of attention, in which the author examines the social roles of women in connection with the process of childbirth, as well as the perception of the social roles of women in the aspect of romantic relationships with a man.

Female biased adult sex ratio in the Bronze Age cemetery of Shahr-i Sokhta (Iran) as an indicator of long distance trade and matrilocality.

This paper starts from the unusual observation of the overrepresentation of females among adults in the cemetery of Bronze Age Shahr-i Sokhta (Seistan, Iran) and explores the post marital residence pattern. By integrating taphonomical (skeletal preservation), anthropological (sex ratio [SR], sexual dimorphism, stress indicators, age at death), archeological (long distance trade indicators, habitation floor area, social role of women), and ancient DNA (heterozygosity levels in X chromosomes) data we test the hypothesis of post marital matrilocality in the site. We computed the SR (pelvis-based sex determination) in a random unpublished adult sample from the cemetery of Shahr-i Sokhta and in two samples previously published by other authors. We used comparative data on SR from: a large Supra Regional multi-chronological sample of sites, n = 47, with 8808 adult sexed individuals, from Southern Europe, Egypt, Middle East, Southern Russia; a Regional Bronze Age sample of sites (n = 10) from Bactria Margiana and Indus Valley with 1324 adult sexed individuals. We estimated the heterozygosity levels in X chromosomes compared with the rest of the autosomes on the assumption that in a matrilocal society females should show lower variability than men. Adult SR in a sample (n = 549) from Shahr-i Sokhta is 70.5, the overrepresentation of females is shared with Regional Bronze Age sites from Bactria Margiana (SR = 72.09) and Indus Valley (SR = 67.54). On the contrary, in a larger Supra Regional multi-chronological sample of sites, mean SR ranges between 112.7 (Bronze Age) and 163.1 (Middle Ages). Taphonomical and anthropological indicators do not explain the overrepresentation of female skeletons. Archeological indicators suggest a high social status of women and that the society was devoted to long range trade activities. heterozygosity levels in X chromosomes are in agreement with a matrilocal society. Indicators suggest that Bronze Age Shahr-ì Sokhta was a matrilocal society and that long distance trade was an important economic factor producing an overrepresentation of adult female skeletons in the cemetery.

NON-MATERNITY AND THE OPTION FOR THE VOLUNTARY SURGICAL STERILIZATION: Narratives of SUS users

With the modification in women's social roles, motherhood has become an option and no longer something mandatory or a dream for all women, and there is a growing search for effective contraceptive methods capable of avoiding unwanted pregnancies, such as voluntary surgical sterilization (VSS). This qualitative, exploratory-descriptive, and cross-sectional study aimed to understand the experiences, motivations, and trajectories of single women who opt for non-maternity through voluntary surgical sterilization in the Unified Health System (SUS). Five women with an average age of 27.8 years who are currently undergoing family planning or have already undergone VSS participated in the research. The participants responded to a socio-demographic and health data questionnaire and a semi-structured interview, understood through thematic analysis. The results highlighted four themes: Perceptions about “being a mother” and “being a father”; Life today; Non-motherhood as a possibility of being; and Surgical sterilization: freedom versus obstacles. It is clear that the choice for non-maternity is multicausal and complex, as is the option for VSS, involving aspects of each woman’s life story. Furthermore are several obstacles within the scope of the SUS for women who seek the method, proving necessary for the qualification of professionals in these services and knowledge about family planning legislation.

Male and female academics' gendered perceptions of academic work and career progression in China

AbstractThis article explores the experiences of male and female academics in China's higher education system concerning career progression and examines how they perceive the challenges faced by the opposite gender. Our analysis of interviews with 40 academics from a research university revealed that academics' experience of career progression is informed by gendered divisions of labour at home and work and by gendered role expectations that are prevalent in Chinese culture. Female academics reported performing a disproportionate amount of household work: some felt satisfied with having moderately successful academic careers, whereas others aspired to do more but grappled with the difficulties of doing so. In contrast, male academics mentioned great pressure to pursue promotion and career progression: they reported feeling less work–family stress but were fearful of failing in their role as breadwinners. Male and female academics showed mixed comprehension of each other's plight, but in general, female academics recognised that male academics faced higher career expectations but lower household burdens, and male academics felt that female academics had lower career expectations and many more burdens and constraints. Male academics tended to stress biological and societal reasons for gender differences in Chinese academia, whereas female academics highlighted the power of cultural and social beliefs. We argue that the challenges faced by Chinese academics can only be mitigated if gender‐specific promotion paths that recognise men's and women's social roles and obligations are made available.

The Ideology of Women’s Emancipation as Ontogenesis of the Subject

The article focuses on the issues of Christian national minorities (Armenians) who lived in the Ottoman Empire during and after the Tanzimat period: their national identity, women’s issues, the possibilities of developing the ontogenetic concept of female subjectivity. Such de-velopment can be defined as ontogenesis of a social and a literary-cultural subject, which in-volves capacities of a woman and potential for social and cultural integration. The study aims to identify the features of the subject in the context of the transformations of literary-cultural and historical-political concepts based on the philosophical and anthropological worldview of female authors and typology of culture in the Ottoman Empire in the second half of the 19thcentury. The study examines and interprets how an Armenian woman living in the Ottoman Empire in the second half of the 19th century underwent a gradual transformation from being a silent object of subjugation and domestic captivity into a social, literary-cultural, and historical-political subject. The actuality of the research lies in its interdisciplinary nature: the material was analyzed through connections between Literary Studies, History, Philosophy, and Sociology, by means of historical-comparative, phenomenological, and socio-philosophical research methods. Following the geopolitical changes in the historical-political, socio-economic, and legal systems of the Ottoman Empire during the period in question, the social role of women was reconsidered based on the ideology of women’s emancipation, which was defined as ontogenesis of the female subject. The analysis of this kind has been attempted for the first time.

Female Images of French Comics (Bande Dessinée)

The article analyzes the history of female characters of French comics (bande dessinée). The study covers the period from the beginning of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century, from the creation of albums telling about the history of Bécassina to the albums devoted to the adventures of Laureline. Analyzing the history of the development of female characters, the authors noted that the feminization of the French bande dessinée coincides with the chronology of the three stages of development of feminism. This circumstance is reflected in the specifics of female characters of comics, their nature, manner of action and gender relations. Moreover, the stories of female characters in the bande dessinée were a reflection of the social and cultural situation of a certain time, the change in the legal and civil status of a woman, the transformation of her role in society and the desire for real equality. The Bécassina’s character, although it fits into the framework of traditional gender relations and the social role of women in France at the beginning of the 20th century, at the same time reflects the beginning of a “rebellion”, an attempt to go beyond the assigned role, to know the outside world. The image of Lili in this context is more modern and more reflective of the post-war spirit of the “beautiful era” marked by the process of female emancipation. In any case, both characters have a choice to play a social role reserved for them by society, or to go beyond the patriarchal framework. In fact, this is the first bright characters bande dessinée, embarked on the path of emancipation. The second wave of feminism contributes to the evolution of female characters bande dessinée. The heroines of the comic books of the 1960—1970s reflect the results of the sexual emancipation of the post-war decades. This can be seen in the Barbarella way, but also in the behavior and lifestyle of Adèle (despite placing her in a completely different historical context). Unlike Bécassina and Lili, they are no longer constrained by the framework of traditional patriarchal relations, social and cultural conformism, expressing a desire to change the world. Finally, to the period of the third wave of feminism, we can attribute two albums telling about the adventures of Isa and the cosmic adventures of Laureline. As in the case of Adèle, the modern character of Isa, transferred to the context of the 18th century, introduces a modern interpretation of the issues of slavery, sexism and male domination. In the albums of the series “Valerian and Laureline”, the female character Laureline first becomes the central figure of the series, which allows us to speak about the end of the feminization of bande dessinée.

HUKUM WARIS ISLAM: SOLUSI AKHIR UNTUK KETIMPANGAN SOSIAL TERHADAP PEREMPUAN

When a person passes away, most of his rights, according to Islamic law, are given to his heirs and representatives. All property rights, usufructuary rights, and other collateral rights are included in this transferrable right. The Islamic system of inheritance features a broad distribution plan centered on a larger familial circle. The work that must be accomplished for each of the parts determines how they differ from one another. However, there is significant discrimination against the social roles of women. Therefore, a woman's inherited share becomes significant if she is granted the ability to use that portion.
