This paper tends to explore the various branches of the Feminist Jurisprudence and its inter-section with the other disciplines. To understand the socio-legal nuances involved in the concept of achieving a gender just framework there is a need to analyze the vast scholarly literature available on the subject. Therefore, an attempt has been made to conceptualize the problem of gender inequality existing between the relations of men and women in the Indian society. And finally connecting the scope of this analysis for building a contemporary understanding of the concept of Gender Justice paradigm in the Indian scenario. KEYWORDS: Feminist Jurisprudence, Gender, Gender-relations, Intersectionality, Gender Justice.

Titus Flavius Clemens was a philosopher and Christian theologian from the period of the 2nd–3th century. The aim of this paper is to present his view on the subject of wine and his recommendations on wine consumption as described in his work entitled Paedagogus. In this work Titus Flavius Clemens focuses primarily on the moral side of drinking wine. He is a great supporter of the ancient principle of moderation, or the golden mean (μεσότης). We also find its traces in his recommendations regarding the drinking of wine. First of all, he does not require Christians to be abstinent. Although he considers water as the best natural beverage to satisfy thirst, he does not make them reject God’s wine. The only condition he sets, however, is to maintain moderation in drinking it. He recommends diluting wine with water, as the peaceful Greeks always did, unlike the war-loving barbarians who were more prone to drunkenness. On the other hand, Titus Flavius Clemens warns the reader against excessive dilution of wine, so that it does not turn out to be pure water. He severely criticizes drunkenness, picturesquely presenting the behavior of drunks, both men and women. Wine in moderation has, in his opinion, its advantages – social, familial and individual. It makes a person better disposed to himself or herself, kinder to friends and more gentle to family members. Wine, when consumed in moderation, may also have medicinal properties. Clemens is well aware of this fact and in his work he cites several medical opinions on the subject. Unfortunately, in Paedagogus we find little information about wine as a food product / as an everyday bevarage. The input on the subject is limited to the list of exclusive, imported wines. What is worth noting, Titus Flavius Clemens appears to be a sommelier in this way.

The Moment

No author is more helpful than Ovid to anyone whose task it is to express modern ideas in Latin or to sum up in a brief and memorable way the achievements of distinguished men and women. Here I have gratefully brought together some examples of the help he has given me during the last twelve years in presentations for honorary degrees at Oxford. My hope is that this form of bimillenary tribute will not seem out of place in Greece & Rome. The Editors will know that the revival of spoken Latin is much in the air at the moment—there was a conference on the subject at Avignon in 1956—and they themselves not long ago invited suggestions for a Latin rendering of ‘television’. Ovid's own prophetic shot at this word is listed among the other examples of his foresight given below. All my borrowings from him have been actually used in public orations; but I have not thought it necessary to name the honorands concerned, nor have I sometimes scrupled to adapt to present purposes the Latin used to introduce the borrowed quotation.

Unit Of Action

Discussions between women and men about men and women form the focus of this article, These discussions took place in the context of an inter-organizational action research project. The position of women in organizations and the subordination of women in general is seen as a relational phenomenon. The relationship between women and men is considered paradigmatic and therefore constitutes the critical unit of analysis as well as the strategic unit of action in this study. The participating organizations had no difficulty in initiating collaboration between women and men and to get them to engage in a joint action to develop a program aimed at improving gender relationships. However, ambiguity emerges as the basic characteristic of gender relationships in view of the fundamental otherness of the other. Dialogue between men and women is not only shaped by the relationship between women and men, but is also forming and transforming it. Dialogue is both means and end, it is the subject as well as the context. Therefore, the criteria for an ethics of mediation, necessary for managing the inevitable ambiguity in the relationship between women and men through mutual respect for their differences, have to come from within the dialogue.

The Subject

Unlike previous feminist critics who were seeking ways to reduce the otherness of the women to help them be the same as men, the subject, Luce Irigaray, strongly emphasizes the irreducibility of the women's place as the "other." Concerned with the concept of sexual difference and the otherness of women, Irigaray occupies a unique position among feminist critics. Irigaray aims not to be the "same," but to make a clear border between these two sexually different creatures. Based on sexual difference, both men and women should stand in their bordered place, and they cannot be substituted for the other. Accordingly, Irigaray seeks irreducible alterity for women in all aspects, which is the most crucial objective of this paper. Being a feminitst by spirit, Sandra Cisneros, the prize-winning chicana writer, in her novel, Caramelo (2002), dramatizes what Irigaray theorizes in her Ethics of Sexual Difference (1993). In this light, the current study analyzes Caramelo to illustrate how the "place" of the "other," that is women's "place," is occupied unfairly by the empowered men, and how female characters resist and/or succumb to the oppressive situations. The results of the study indicate that Lala, the main character, possesses the potentiality of being aware of "sexual difference" and "space," as key tools, to regain her place occupied by men, and reclaim her subjectivity, goals for which both Sandra Cisneros and Luce Irigary have aimed for years.

The idea that men are Better than women at mathematics has been widespread. Many writers on education have taken it for granted; a few have tried to prove it. Unfortunately, the general acceptance of this assumption distorts the test results; achievement rather than innate ability is measured. A comparison of the scores of men and women on various kinds of arithmetic tests is not conclusive, since ability to do arithmetic is partly the result of past and present interest in the subject. Even at an early age, boys are expected to be interested in mathematics. Girls, on the other hand, though they may have equal ability, may be discouraged from learning by the prevailing idea that mathematics is a masculine field.

The Subject

To attempt to portray Anselm in all his varied activities as monk, prior, abbot, archbishop; as philosopher, theologian, writer of private prayers and meditations; in his letters of spiritual counsel and ecclesiastical policy; as man of God, friend, teacher and guide to the spiritual life; and in his relations with popes, kings, episcopal colleagues, lay men and women, monks and nuns, is one of the most challenging tasks in medieval history. The number of possible combinations in which his life and thought played a part is very large. To add to the difficulties of the subject, much of the evidence is tangential: we interpret for one purpose material that was created for quite different ends. The material is full enough to invite speculation, but rarely full enough to provide clear-cut solutions to the questions asked. To take only two examples at opposite ends of the spectrum: Anselm never wrote any account of the principles which guided his public life as archbishop, which Vaughn is particularly concerned to interpret; and, at the other end of the scale, he wrote much on friendship, but all that he wrote, as we shall see, is capable of widely different interpretations. Even his silences cry aloud for interpretation; and when we come to that, we are in very deep water indeed.

The place of biology in modern education. Address by Sir Edward Salisbury, C. B. E. , D.Sc., LL.D., V. P. R. S., at the opening of the new Hatherly Biological Laboratories, Exeter, on 23 April 1953

The University

It is my privilege today to declare open, for your use, these new laboratories that will provide the University College with a fitting environment in which the subject of biology can be effectively taught. It is one of the achievements of the modern advance in knowledge that the unity of all subjects is becoming more and more manifest and just as the context of biology has itself become so vastly augmented so its implications for the other branches of science have been proportionately enhanced. ‘If one member suffers all the other members suffer with it’ is fully applicable to the intellectual field, and the direct benefits that will follow from your own improved conditions will, I have no doubt, be indirectly no less beneficial to the University College as a whole. But if the maximum good is to accrue from your efforts and from the material improvement of your circumstances, biology must take its proper place not so much as a special discipline, but as part of that liberal education that constitutes an essential element in a cultured mind. Nevertheless to do this I venture to suggest that a new orientation in our approach to the study of botany and zoology is requisite. In the teaching of biology, and indeed of most subjects, in the curricula of schools and universities alike, there has, in the past, been far too great a tendency to mistake the imparting of mere information for the inculcation of knowledge. We devote far too much attention to the collection of bricks and far too little attention to the vision of the buildings into which they ought to be constructed. This tends to develop a community of the well informed rather than men and women of wisdom. The bricks are regarded as important in themselves and even brickbats, the half truths, which are often substitutes for the bricks, become the missiles of controversy instead of the elements of constructive achievemen t through which the superstructure of a richly ornamented life and useful citizenship can be built up. Many men and women, when they go out into the world of achievement, have a mental equipment that is comparable to a dump rather than to an edifice.

Gender differences are unimportant as long as they do not result in gender inequality. However, it turns out that gender disparities have resulted in a variety of injustices, which affect both men and women. Gender inequality is a system and structure that affects both men and women equally. Because Islam is based on a relationship between Allah and individual women and men, the Qur'an's concept of Islam treats both women and men equally. According to Islamic normativity, a person's high and low quality is determined solely by his or her level of devotion to Allah. Humans are treated equally by God, who does not distinguish between them. God does not differentiate between men and women when it comes to the works he performs. Gender equity is a necessity for both men and women, according to Indonesian women researchers.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) with and without exercise on postprandial lipemia (PPL). Subjects were 25 young men and women. Each subject performed three trials: 1) control (fat meal only, 1.5 g fat/kg) 2) MCT (substitution of MCT oil, 30% of fat calories), and 3) MCT + Ex (exercise 12 h before the MCT meal). Before each trial, the subject underwent consistent dietary preparation. Blood was collected on 2 separate days for baseline measurements of postheparin lipases and, in each trial, at 0 h (premeal), at 2, 4, 6, and 8 h after the fat meal for triglycerides and cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP), and at 8 h for postheparin lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic lipase activities (HL). ANOVA indicated that the partial substitution of MCT oil to the fat meal did not affect the PPL response. However, the PPL was significantly lower after the MCT + Ex trial vs. the other trials. LPL activity was significantly elevated after all trials compared with baseline, whereas HL was lower in the MCT + Ex trial only. CETP mass was significantly lower at 4 and 8 h than 0 h during all trials but relatively higher in the MCT + Ex trial vs. the nonexercise trials. These results suggest that MCT does not affect the TG response to a fat meal. LPL and CETP are affected by a fat meal with or without exercise, but HL is affected only when exercise is included.
