AbstractResearch suggests that gendered languages are associated with gender inequality. However, as languages are embedded in cultures, evidence for causal effects are harder to provide. We contribute to this ongoing debate by exploring the relationship between gendered languages and the gender gap in mathematics achievements. We provide evidence for causality by exploiting the prominent (but not exclusive) practice in gendered languages of using masculine generics to address women. In an experiment on a large representative sample of the Hebrew-speaking adult population in Israel, we show that addressing women in the feminine, compared to addressing them in the masculine, reduces the gender gap in mathematics achievements by a third. These effects are stronger among participants who acquired the Hebrew language early in childhood rather than later in life, suggesting that it is the extent of language proficiency that generates one’s sensitivity to being addressed in the masculine or in the feminine. Moreover, when women are addressed in the masculine, their efforts (in terms of time spent on the maths test) decrease and they report feeling that “science is for men” more than when addressed in the feminine. We supplement the analysis with two experiments that explore the roles of general and task-specific stereotypes in generating these effects.

Shed Light

Over the centuries women have been struggling to gain recognition, calling their independent voice to be heard in patriarchal and racist societies. As they follow the standards and the values of their societies, women tend to break the stereotypical and submissive images that degrade their position in their societies. Thus, this paper will scrutinize thoroughly women’s intellectual ability from a Gynocriticism perspective taking Virginia Woolf’s short story “The Legacy” (published posthously in 1944) as an example. The present paper provides an analytical view of the four models of gynocriticism; i.e., biological, linguistic, cultural, and psychological. It also attempts to shed light on some common feminist themes such as the theme of marriage and how oppressed marriage motivates male dominance. The paper addresses the relationship between wife and husband in terms of gender inequality and women’s identity. It also tackles women’s trapped position as distinct from the liberty of men and oppressed by husband in an unhappy marriage. It relies heavily not only on feminist perspectives as gynocriticism, gender inequality, and the theme of marriage; but also on the authors’ personal life. The paper concludes that being unable to speak their voice freely, women view writing as their salvation for their voice to be heard.

Resumen Durante los siglos XVI y XVII la población de la jurisdicción de Ixmiquilpan tení­a dos actividades económicas importantes: la crí­a de ganado menor y el cultivo. Este panorama se transforma radicalmente hacia finales del siglo XVIII; para entonces eran contados los pueblos que se dedicaban a la agricultura, en cambio, abundaban los asentamientos cuya principal actividad era la arrierí­a. En las zonas cercanas a las minas los oficios principales eran los de jornalero, minero o arriero de metales; mientras que en los lugares donde no habí­a cultivos ni posibilidades de vender la fuerza de trabajo en labores agrí­colas o mineras, una opción viable era el tallado y tejido de la lechuguilla. El estudio del padrón 1791 nos permite adentrarnos en estos aspectos e, incluso, conocer la composición étnica, el parentesco entre los miembros y edades de los grupos domésticos. Palabras clave: Ixmiquilpan, padrones, siglo XVIII, economí­a.   Abstract During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the population of the jurisdiction of Ixmiquilpan had two major economic activities: sheep breeding and farming. This view changed radically in the late eighteenth century, by which time there were few people engaged in farming, however, there were many settlements whose main activity was the mule driving. In areas near the mines were the main occupations of laborers, miners, or carriers of metals, while in places where there was no chance of selling crops or the labor force in agriculture or mining, an option was the carving and lettuce tissue.   The study of the 1791 census allows us to get into these issues and even know the ethnic composition, the relationship between members and ages of family groups. Keywords: Ixmiquilpan, census, century  XVIII, economy.

Gender inequality is one of the keys to entrepreneurial activity in general and especially for entrepreneurial intentions in encouraging to set up new businesses. Entrepreneurial intention grows from the presence of entrepreneurial potential, so an entrepreneur needs to have an entrepreneurial intention in itself. It is interesting to study whether the entrepreneurial potential of men is stronger than women so that men have more intentions to set up their new businesses than women?. The study method used is hierarchical multiple regression analysis with a research population of 402 students and the sample to be used is 200 students. Proporsional stratified random sampling adalah jenis teknik sampling probabilitas yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Test the validity and reliability using the product-moment correlation formula from Pearson and the formula for calculating Cronbach alpha (α). The results of the analysis show Entrepreneurial potential significantly affects student intention, but gender does not significantly moderate the relationship.

The Relationship

Coastal erosion is the process of land erosion in coastal areas due to waves and ocean currents which reduce land and can adversely affect socio-economic activities in coastal areas. Coastal erosion risk assessment in the estuary is a development of previous research, because the erosion and accretion processes do not only occur along the shoreline, but also on the side facing river water bodies, due to the confluence of fluvial and marine processes. The landward shift of the shoreline in the Muara Asam Asam coastal area has reached 90 meters in the last 28 years, and has been detrimental because the area is a densely populated area with major economic activities in the fisheries and agriculture sectors. This study aims to determine the coastal erosion risk level zones based on the relationship among vulnerability and consequence parameters, through distance decay weighted based method. The results indicate that Muara Asam Asam has high risk zones of coastal erosion, especially in densely populated residential areas and dry land agriculture on the west side of the estuary, due to the lack of implementation of preventive measures through hard coastal structure and coastal zoning policy to protect socio-economic activities and coastal ecological environments.

Целью исследования являлась оценка двухфакторной производственной функции, характеризующей взаимосвязь обо-рота микропредприятий от величины заработной платы работников и потока инвестиций в основной капитал. Рас-смотрена производственная функция, аналогичная функции Кобба-Дугласа, без ограничений на сумму степеней при факторах. Исследование базировалось на статистических пространственных данных, использовалась информация по 82 регионам России за 2017 г. Производственная функция представляет собой эффективный инструмент управления. Полученные новые знания имеют научное и практическое значение. The goal of the research was to estimate the two-factor production function, which characterizes the relationship between the microenterprise turnover and the employees rate of wages and the flow of investments into the fixed assets. The research examined a production function similar to that of Cobb-Douglas function, without the restrictions on the sum of degrees under factors. The research was based on statistical spatial data; using the information on 82 regions of Russia for 2017. The production function is an effective management tool. The new knowledge obtained is of scientific and practical im-portance. The methodological approach and tools proposed in the article for evaluating the production functions, describing the set of the microenterprises activities in the regions, can be applied in scientific research on the entrepreneurship issues, as well as in justifying the programs of this economy sector devel-opment at the federal and regional levels. The methodology and tools that were used in the research process can be applied in similar studies in the countries with a significant number of territorial (administrative) units. Further research is related to the evaluation of production functions for a set of microenterprises that are specialized in various types of economic activities, as well as those located in municipalities of specific regions.
