Social Consideration

  If we try to focus on the analysis and understanding of females in the world of sports, particularly female athletes, we face major challenges. The main objective of this work is to analyse the gender stereotypes regarding the social consideration of women in athletics. The sample is made up of 362 undergraduate students of three universities in Andalusia, Spain. Nowadays, despite the progress made in recent years, women continue to be discriminated against in sports generally, and in high-performance sports specifically. 31.4% the response presented a gender stereotyping towards the assertion that athletic clubs and federations do not have more women coaches because they do not trust their dedication and performance. 31.9% of the students responded that male competitions provide more entertainment than female competitions.  Resumen. Si intentamos centrarnos en el análisis y la comprensión de las mujeres en el mundo del deporte, en particular las atletas femeninas, nos enfrentamos a grandes desafíos. El principal objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los estereotipos de género sobre la consideración social de la mujer en el atletismo. La muestra está formada por 362 estudiantes de grado de tres universidades de Andalucía, España. Hoy en día, a pesar de los avances logrados en los últimos años, las mujeres continúan siendo discriminadas en el deporte en general y en los deportes de alto rendimiento en particular. El 31.4% de las respuestas presentó un estereotipo de género hacia la afirmación de que, los clubes y federaciones de atletismo no tienen más entrenadoras porque no confían en su dedicación y desempeño. El 31.9% de los estudiantes respondió que las competencias masculinas proporcionan más entretenimiento que las competencias femeninas.

PurposeIn this article, we identify various foodservice-related attributes that are important for undergraduate students residing in hostels and avail service from specific foodservice providers. We also investigate the performance of attributes to determine areas where the foodservice providers should maintain a high performance or where improvement is required.Design/methodology/approachWe apply the Kano methodology to design the questionnaire for 24 different attributes. For each attribute, we construct three questions; namely, functional type, dysfunctional type, and performance of the hostel foodservice. We collect a total of 317 responses. We use multiple methods to determine the dominant category. Finally, combining the values of these methods, we study relative positions of the attributes in the importance–performance grid.FindingsBased on the Kano categorization, quality-related attributes are most important, followed by hygiene, comfort, availability, variety, and time, in the descending order. The gender of the respondent plays an important role in categorization of some attributes. Using the importance–performance analysis, we identify the attributes where the foodservice provider should maintain a high performance or where improvement is required. Improvements in some attributes are difficult due to foodservice provider's self-assessment of high performance or high difficulty for improvement.Originality/valueIn this study, we examine the importance of various foodservice attributes among undergraduate residential students. We combine multiple methods of Kano categorization to compute importance values of the attributes. We also investigate the reasons behind the gap between student's and foodservice manager's perception of the performance of these attributes.

In shifting our gaze to the sociological impact of being in the minority, the purpose of this study was to substantiate a model of gendered social well-being to appraise women coaches’ circumstances, experiences and challenges as embedded within the social structures and relations of their profession. This is drawn on in-depth interviews with a sample of head women coaches within the UK. The findings demonstrate that personal lives, relationships, social and family commitments were sidelined by many of the participants in order to meet the expectations of being a (woman) coach. We locate these experiences in the organisational practices of high performance sport which hinder women coaches from having meaningful control over their lives. The complexities of identity are also revealed through the interplay of gender with (dis)ability, age and whiteness as evidence of hegemonic femininity within the coaching profession. Consequently, for many women, coaching is experienced as a ‘developmental dead-end’.

ESTEREÓTIPOS DE GÊNERO EXPRESSOS EM MEMES: RISOS E REVOLTA NUMA EXPERIÊNCIA DE SALA DE AULA RESUMO Estudos sobre gênero têm destacado a necessidade de rever práticas pedagógicas de forma a refletir sobre a igualdade de direitos em sala de aula. Este trabalho apresenta um relato de experiência que teve como objetivo promover a reflexão de crianças acerca do sexismo em relação ao feminino. Para tanto, foram usados os “memes” que circulam na internet e abordam temas fazendo uso da comicidade. A experiência se deu através de uma aula remota por grupo de WhatsApp, com alunos/as do 5º ano do ensino fundamental de uma escola pública. Consideramos que o ambiente escolar é repleto de práticas que contribuem para o sexismo. Deste modo, oportunizar a quebra de paradigmas fomentados através da construção social do “rumo natural das coisas”, é necessário. Diante dos resultados, percebe-se a necessidade de intervenções pedagógicas permanentes que abordem temáticas correlatas com a do estudo apresentado. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Gênero. Memes. Aula remota.

Este artículo presenta un relato de experiencia que tuvo como objetivo promover la reflexión de niños sobre el sexismo en lo que se refiere a las mujeres. Para ello, se utilizaron “memes” que circulan por internet y abordan temas con humor. La experiencia se desarrolló en una clase por medio de un grupo de WhatsApp, con alumnos de 5. ° año de primaria en un colegio público. Se considera que el ambiente escolar está repleto de prácticas que contribuyen al sexismo. De esta manera, se hace necesario romper paradigmas propiciados por la construcción social del “curso natural de las cosas”, en el que la inferioridad se convierte en sinónimo. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que existe la necesidad de intervenciones pedagógicas permanentes que aborden temas relacionados con el presente estudio. PALABRAS-CLAVE: Género. Memes. Clase remota. WhatsApp. GENDER STEREOTYPES ILLUSTRATED IN MEMES: LAUGH AND UPSET IN A CLASSROOM PRACTICE ABSTRACT Gender studies have highlighted the need to review pedagogical practices in order to reflect on equal rights in the classroom. To this end, this work presents an experience report that aimed to promote children’s reflection about sexism in relation to women. In doing so, we intend to deconstruct the symbolic violence disseminated by patriarchy in relation to women’s figure. For this purpose, web “memes” addressing humor were used. The experience took place through a Whatsapp classroom group, with students from the 5th year of an elementary public school. We suppose that the school environment is full of practices that contribute to sexism. Thus, to provide opportunities for breaking paradigms fostered through the social construction of the “natural course of things” is necessary. In view of the results, there is a need for permanent pedagogical interventions that address themes related to that of the study presented. KEYWORDS: Gender. Memes. Remote lesson. Whatsapp.

La perspectiva de género más que un enfoque constituye un instrumento de análisis y transformación de la realidad. El género es una construcción de origen profundamente cultural y social y está presente en los procesos de producción, reproducción, distribución y consumo. El objetivo de este trabajo fue visualizar aquellos elementos culturales, organizativos y productivos, que desde la subjetividad y conceptos estereotipados promueven la inequidad entre los sexos y el género en el recinto Paraíso, de la parroquia rural Taura, en el cantón Naranjal, provincia del Guayas, agravando aún más la situación de pobreza y el deterioro de la calidad de vida, especialmente de las mujeres y niñas. En este estudio se aprecian los estereotipos sociales asociados a la inequidad de género. Para su transformación es necesario revelarlos y tomar conciencia de su existencia y al mismo tiempo de la capacidad de revertir las circunstancias con una visión desde la perspectiva de género. Palabras clave:género, estereotipos, sociedad rural. AbstractThe gender perspective approach is an instrument of analysis and transformation of reality. Gender is a construction of deeply cultural and social origin which is present in the processes of production, reproduction, distribution and consumption. The objective of this research was to visualize those cultural, organizational and productive elements, which from subjectivity and other stereotyped concepts promote inequity between sexes and gender in Paraiso, Taura belonging to the Naranjal canton, in the Guayas province, which worsens the situation of poverty and impaired quality of life or women and girls especially. In this study the social stereotypes are associated with gender inequity. For their transformation it is necessary to reveal them and be aware of their existence and their capacity of reversing the circumstances with a vision from the perspective of gender.

With technology at the fingertips of most undergraduate students, it has been difficult for instructors to fully engage students in the classroom, which has resulted in the creation of several innovative assessment platforms, such as mTuner. mTuner integrates several cognitive learning strategies within an assessment, with the goal of actually enhancing learning, as opposed to just measuring it. In the current study, students’ level of engagement and performance with mTuner were compared to their final multiple-choice paper and pencil exam mark to determine the efficacy of mTuner in achieving improved learning outcomes. Results indicated that students had high performance scores on the mTuner assessment despite their limited engagement in the cognitive learning features, putting to question mTuner’s facilitation of long-term learning. Implications and future recommendations of mTuner implementation in educational environments are discussed.

The Impact

Introduction: Gender differences, which are socially and culturally created, determine how women and men will perform and the more appropriate activities for each person. As cultural and social aspects emphasize the differences in men’ and women’s roles, culture and gender stereotypes may influence the difference in the probability of success of business headed by men or women. The objective of this article is to explore whether the impact of the determinants of micro-businesses continuity varies between men and women in the Metropolitan Area of Monterrey, Mexico.Method: We use hierarchical modeling with Bernoulli distribution using the sex of the micro entrepreneur as a variable in the second level.Results: Results indicate that sex moderates the effect of schooling, having the micro-business to exercise his or her career or profession, if the micro-entrepreneur is willing to change the business activity to a job with similar income, but with access to social security, and if the micro-business is in the manufacturing sector.Discussion: Women entrepreneurs can feel disadvantaged as entrepreneurs or make choices that emphasize traditional gender roles. As a consequence, the social and cultural restrictions faced by women restrict their participation and performance in the business world.

Históricamente, el cine ha tratado este carácter interseccional a través de los estereotipos de género asociados a la locura. Mediante la asunción del reduccionismo propiciado por el modelo biomédico psiquiátrico, por el que todo sufrimiento psíquico es susceptible de ser interpretado en términos exclusivamente biomédicos, tales representaciones han funcionado como documentos de patologización. Frente a esta tendencia, el presente estudio ofrece un análisis narrativo de dos propuestas audiovisuales que, mediante la incorporación de la dimensión social del sufrimiento de las mujeres, alumbra posibles transformaciones sociales generalmente eclipsadas por el lenguaje médico y sus prácticas terapéuticas.</p><p align="left"><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>The article addresses the articulation of two categories strongly marked by unequal power relations: <em>madness</em> and <em>women</em> within filmic discourse.

Structure Properties

Trace constituents, which can be very loosely defined as those present at concentration levels below 1 percent, often exert influence on structure, properties, and performance far greater than what might be estimated from their proportion alone. Defining the role of trace constituents in the microstructure, or indeed even determining their location, makes great demands on the available array of microanalytical tools. These demands become increasingly more challenging as the dimensions of the volume element to be probed become smaller. For example, a cubic volume element of silicon with an edge dimension of 1 micrometer contains approximately 5×1010 atoms. High performance secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) can be used to measure trace constituents to levels of hundreds of parts per billion from such a volume element (e. g., detection of at least 100 atoms to give 10% reproducibility with an overall detection efficiency of 1%, considering ionization, transmission, and counting).

A key aspect of work processes in service sector firms is the interconnection between tasks and performance. Relational coordination can play an important role in addressing the issues of coordinating organizational activities due to high level of interdependence complexity in service sector firms. Research has primarily supported the aspect that well devised high performance work systems (HPWS) can intensify organizational performance. There is a growing debate, however, with regard to understanding the “mechanism” linking HPWS and performance outcomes. Using relational coordination theory, this study examines a model that examine the effects of subsets of HPWS, such as motivation, skills and opportunity enhancing HR practices on relational coordination among employees working in reciprocal interdependent job settings. Data were gathered from multiple sources including managers and employees at individual, functional and unit levels to know their understanding in relation to HPWS and relational coordination (RC) in 218 bank branches in Pakistan. Data analysis via structural equation modelling, results suggest that HPWS predicted RC among officers at the unit level. The findings of the study have contributions to both, theory and practice.
