Intercultural Dialogue : Perceptions of the Maternal Health Care of Indigenous Females in Veracruz, MéxicoCamber, Ana Maria January 2023 (has links)
Cultural traditions in indigenous peoples about maternity, childbirth and puerperium are fundamental bases to their history and knowledge for the well-being of the community. However, government and private health services in general only offer Western birthing practices, making pregnant indigenous women fall between two systems: one based on their traditions and beliefs but weakened by poor resourcing and inefficiencies, and the other by policies of acculturation. With the objective of studying the perspective and voice of indigenous women on maternal healthcare in Veracruz, Mexico, this research was carried out between December 2022 and February 2023 in a health organization which is implementing an intercultural maternal care system. The study subjects were made up of pregnant indigenous women and health providers who shared their perspective and experience on the topic through a process of individual interviews and surveys. As a result, this research opens space for Non-Western standpoints: indigenous voices, focused on the well-being and dialogue to draw on the strengths of different cultures.

“You Know You Work in Tech When the Toilet Seat is Up” : An Investigation of Female Protégés Working in Swedish IT Organizations and How They Use Mentorship to Advance in Their CareersLindström, Sofia, Bartoschek, Malin January 2023 (has links)
Background and Research Purpose: Women working in male-dominated environments face experiences that are unique. In Sweden the number of women working in the IT field grows, and so should the representation of female managers and female seniors. But does it? The extensive underrepresentation of females in IT continues to add to the inequality between genders and the marginalization of female managers and seniors in Swedish society. For many individuals, being successful and developing in their careers is a common goal (Fagenson, 1989) and one method in particular is through mentorship (Kram, 1983). Studies of protégés' experiences for career advancement especially in the field of mentoring in IT in Swedish organizations are limited, especially observing it from the female perspective. Women face gender-related interpersonal and organizational barriers which prevent them from attaining mentors as well as opportunities for learning. The aim of this study was to investigate women's careers, mentoring, and the barriers to their career progression from the mentee's perspective. Research Question: How are females working in the IT industry using mentorship as a tool for their career advancement? We used two supplementary research questions to assist in identifying additional information, thereby we wanted to further explore the interdependence between female and male mentors, and junior and senior mentors. Method: The following study is of exploratory nature, thus, we used the qualitative research design to collect data through semi-structured interviews. 15 participants helped us explore the experiences of female employees in the IT environment and contributed to a better understanding of a mentor's involvement, their proactive responses, and strategies that aided their mentee's careers. These interviews were performed with employees from 10 different Swedish IT companies. Conclusion: We developed a model called the mentor relationship matrix, as we found mentoring traits that can be linked to male and female mentors as well as to seniority and juniority. We additionally discovered that mentorship can have a dark side. Our analysis shows that mentors can enable career advancement, though strategies which differ depending on the mentoring liaison and the mentor's personality. In conclusion, we discovered that despite gender, the personality of the mentor is most important for a successful mentoring relationship. Practical Implications: Emerging from our findings, women pursuing careers in IT can utilize our matrix to categorize their mentors and adapt to their surroundings. We want to encourage mentees to become lifelong learners, master speaking up and making their voices heard as well as cultivate a support system in the workplace.

How to Get Away with Feminist Propaganda: An Afrocentric Analysis of Gender Ideology and Relationships in Black Female-Lead Television DramasAboderin, Olutoyosi January 2023 (has links)
This research utilizes an Afrocentric, mixed method content analysis to examine the depiction of gender ideology and Black relationships in 21st century Black female lead television dramas. In doing so, this research will determine the prevalence of what this author theorizes as feminist propaganda. All institutions, including media, reflect the cultural orientation of the dominant culture, which in the United States is European. This important factor, coupled with various propaganda techniques, defines how the popularity of feminism has increased exponentially on television, specifically in televised dramas starring Black women. Feminism, at its root, is ideologically antithetical to African culture due to its Euro-western cultural underpinnings, anti-Blackness, and imperialistic behavior. With this understanding, the utilization of the discipline of Africology will emphasize and highlight the significance of culture in defining the nature of gender ideology on television. The author will provide an Afrocentric analysis of these cultural distinctions, questioning whether it is in the best interests of Black women, and humanity in general, to maintain white supremacist beliefs and values under the auspices of feminist propaganda. Utilizing Marquita Gammage’s Africana Womanist methodology, as constructed from Clenora Hudson-Weems’s theory of Africana Womanism, and functionalizing Valethia Watkins’ theory of compulsory feminism, this research interrogates the Eurocentric ideology perpetuated in Black female-lead television shows from an africological perspective. Research questions that will be explored in this study are: a) what is feminist propaganda and is it observable in Black female lead television shows? b) Are the relationships between Black women and men in Black female lead television shows overwhelmingly negative based on Afrocentric values and beliefs? and c) Are the platonic relationships of Black female leads in Black female lead television shows primarily non-African? While recent day Hollywood initiatives have claimed to push diverse representation in media, the increased portrayal of feminism on television still reflects the monopoly feminism has over preferred Western gender ideology. This research opens a dialogue for more culturally centered representations of gender ideology and interrogations of the portrayal of Black relationships in media. / African American Studies

Re-examining the multidimensional poverty index of South AfricaJackson, Shinice January 2021 (has links)
Magister Commercii - MCom / Poverty remains one of the main socio-economic issues in South Africa and is more prevalent
amongst black African females, children aged below 18 years, and rural residents with low
levels of education. Many local studies focused on money-metric measures in determining
poverty levels but few studies examined factors other than income that are also important to
multidimensional non-income welfare. Therefore, this study re-examined the extent of
multidimensional poverty in South Africa with the derivation of a Multidimensional Poverty
Index (MPI) by considering certain dimensions and indicators that have been ignored in
previous studies, such as isolation, vulnerability, voicelessness and powerlessness.

‘Talking’ During Early Romantic Courtship: An Empirical Examination of Potential Sex Differences in Self-Reported Beliefs and BehaviorsAnderson, Eric James 05 May 2012 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis tests various hypotheses from a variety of research traditions that predict the likelihood for potential sex differences in "talking": a newly-emergent phase of romantic courtship. Data for this study was derived from a purposive sample of 566 students enrolled during the Fall 2011 semester generated using a self-administered survey available on the East Tennessee State University SONA system. Statistical analyses using chi-square, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and binary logistic regression reveal statistically significant differences for males and females on beliefs about sexual exclusivity and sexual activity during the "talking" phase. Significant behavioral differences exist in whether "talking" is viewed instrumentally as a means for information gathering. However, contrary to expectation, males and females did not reveal significant differences in how they defined "talking." It is suggested that future research further expand the types of variables included, and further efforts be made to combine quantitative and qualitative data sources.

Longitudinal Course of Eating Disorder Risk Among Undergraduate Females at Brigham Young UniversityWinters, Erin Blue 17 November 2005 (has links) (PDF)
This research study examined the prevalence rates and longitudinal course of eating disorder risk among undergraduate females at BYU, and compared the identified prevalence rates at BYU with identified rates at other colleges and universities. Almost 2,000 undergraduate females, in three cohort groups, filled out the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) once a semester for four to eight semesters. Clinical cut-off scores were used to determine what percentage of participants were at high risk for eating disordered behaviors and symptomology. Overall eating disorder risk prevalence rates at BYU ranged from 9-11%. These rates were significantly lower than identified rates at other colleges and universities. The results also showed notable decreases in the percentages of women who fell in the at-risk range as participants progressed through their college years. Freshmen women had the highest risk for disordered eating behaviors.
