Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate acute effects of SE on post-exercise hemodynamic responses for 1-h in normotensive sedentary young women. Methods: Sixteen women (21.56±1.21yr; 159.6±0.5 cm; 54.53±6.02 kg) were randomly assigned to SE (n = 8) and control (C) groups (n = 8). SE group performed 20 stretches for the whole body. Each SE was repeated 2 times. Rest interval between repetitions and movement 10 s were considered. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), mean arterial BP (MAP), rate pressure product (RPP), pulse pressure (PP) and heart rate (HR) were measured during 1-h (minutes: 0,15,30,45 and 60) in SE and C groups. Results: There were significant decreases (P

This study was done to identify areas of agreement on gender issues. The sample of 161 students attended California State University at San Luis Obispo and 27 nonuniversity students were friends. Among university students, 112 were women, 49 were men. A questionnaire asked respondents to indicate agreement on the issues of equal opportunity, sex differences, tactics of social change, education, protectionism, sexuality, family, and sexual standards for women. Agreement was high among different groups, men and women, students and nonstudents, old and young women, and denominational affiliations. The results were discussed in terms of building feminist theory and evaluating social policy on areas of agreement as depicted in this sample.

Child Bearing

The health of the young unmarried primigravida has attracted enquiry from obstetricians, psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers. Generally, by virtue of their youth and tissue resilience these girls are at an excellent physiological age for the processes of pregnancy and labour. Stewart (1952) showed in a carefully documented survey of 3,019 primigravidae that anomalous marital status did not appear to influence the occurrence of difficult labour which in fact was found more frequently among those who had been married before conception than among either the “illegitimate” group or the pre-marital conception group. Young unmarried women, therefore, may well be physiologically fit for child-bearing, but they may be psychologically unprepared for it. Emotional reactions during pregnancy are common, especially among unmarried women. Yet in our clinical management of disturbed pregnant women who are not married we have been impressed by the frequency with which emotional ill health has antedated their pregnancies. In many cases we have been tempted to view the psychiatric concomitants of their pregnancies as part of a continuum of morbidity recognized long before. It has been shown by Eysenck (1961) from psychological testing that unmarried mothers tend to be more neurotic and more extraverted than the general population, and among women students who were pregnant while at university Finlay (1962) has reported significantly more instability than among other women student patients. Illegitimate pregnancy may be accepted as the norm among some subgroups, while viewed as a catastrophe among others. For the purposes of study, however, it is difficult to find a group of young women in whom pregnancy could be less welcome, less acceptable, less manipulative or more disastrous than among university students. The very low pregnancy rates among students in Britain suggest that this may be so (Brown, 1962), as does the high correlation between unplanned pregnancy and student wastage among university students (Brown, 1962; Kidd and Dinwoodie, 1964).

Business Context

The figure of the woman, in the business context, has been gaining strength and space, being perceptible its rise in the entrepreneurship, over the last decades. However, this space is still predominantly male, making it harder for women to join this environment. With this in view, several researches propose to study the entrepreneurship of women, however, with a lack of feminist perspective. In this sense, this chapter aims to analyze the self-perception of female students of the course of business administration on their possibilities and challenges of acting as entrepreneurs. This research uses interviews with young women students of a course of business administration as a data, under a qualitative approach and analytical treatment. As a result, it was found that, from the interviewees' perspective, women still have their entrepreneurial ascendancy restricted mainly by prejudice and male discrimination still in force, although they believe that little by little this reality has changed.

AbstractBackgroundThe increasing burden of cancer is a cause of concern worldwide including in India. Cervical cancer is amongst the most common cancers among women associated with high morbidity and mortality. Younger women are at risk of acquiring human papilloma virus (HPV) infection that can lead to cervical cancer later in life. The present study is an attempt to assess awareness about cervical cancer, its prevention and HPV among young women so that future policies can be designed accordingly.MethodologyThis was a cross-sectional study conducted among college-going women students of Delhi. Data was collected using a pre-designed, pretested semi-structured tool followed by descriptive statistical analysis.ResultsAlthough 83% women students had heard of cervical cancer, the signs and symptoms were known to less than half (41.9%) of the students. HPV vaccine availability was known to 56.0% of the students, but very few students were vaccinated (15.0%). Similar disparity was also found in screening knowledge and practices.ConclusionWith poor knowledge about risk factors, and preventive strategies among young women, this study highlights the need for health education programmes related to cervical cancer targeting young women. As most of the risk factors of cervical cancer are modifiable, awareness generation at a young age could bring about a paradigm shift in incidence and the mortality associated with it.

To ascertain the effect of physical training on young women, four groups were subjected to a modified Harvard step test at the beginning of the academic year and again 4 and 9 months later. One group, specializing in physical education, had a very active program of gymnastics, dancing and games; two other groups had a much less active program; a fourth group had no physical training at all. In the series as a whole there was no correlation between fitness index and either height or weight and no evidence that menstruation influenced performance of the test. At the beginning of the investigation the physical education students had higher fitness indexes than the others and they improved with training. Lesser degrees of physical training caused no significant increase in fitness index but counteracted a tendency to deterioration observed in the group that had no physical training. Changes in the resting pulse were less consistent, and resting pulse rates showed little correlation with fitness indexes. Submitted on June 1, 1960

Cet article propose une synthèse des résultats principaux d’une recherche doctorale portant sur le rapport aux savoirs d’étudiantes françaises musulmanes, d’origine maghrébine, vivant en France, et dont la particularité est de porter le hijâb et de fréquenter régulièrement la mosquée. Dans un premier temps, en retraçant les stratégies identitaires de dix-sept étudiantes moutahajibâte, on a tenté de comprendre comment l’adoption de « la stratégie du retournement du stigmate » par ces jeunes femmes accentue leur rapport conflictuel aux savoirs laïques. Dans un second temps, on a exploré les fonctions psychiques du hijâb permettant de réajuster le « Moi-peau » chez ces jeunes femmes ainsi que leurs conflits internes des savoirs. This article presents a synthesis of a doctoral study relating to French Muslim women students’ relation to knowledge. The participants are of North African origin; they live in France and their custom is to wear the hijâb and to attend the mosque regularly. First of all, the purpose of relating the records of seventeen veiled (moutahajibâte) students’ identity strategies was to try to understand how adopting “the strategy of returning to stigmatization” by these young women increased their conflicting relationship to secular learning. Secondly, the psychic functions of the hijâb that permit the women to readjust the constancy of their self-identity of the young women as well as their internal learning conflicts was explored.
