A Community Engaged Approach to Address Intimate Partner Violence among Sexual Minority WomenSmith, Rachel Marie 07 November 2016 (has links)
In response to a dearth of empirical literature concerning the mechanisms underlying female same-sex intimate partner violence (FSSIPV) perpetration, the purpose of this research is to inform intimate partner violence intervention and prevention strategies specific to sexual minority women. The research responds in particular, this research aims to inform a working intersectional model predicting FSSIPV perpetration, and to evaluate the face validity and construct coverage of existing survey measures related to gender, minority stress, and violence. Fourteen lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer women recruited from the greater Portland, Oregon area participated in a series of in-depth, semi-structured, open-ended one-on-one and focus group interviews. Participant recruitment involved a combination of purposive and convenience sampling methods aided by the involvement of multiple community partners working in violence and education related fields. Interview and focus group questions addressed participants' experiences with gender role stress and minority stress. Grounded theory analysis of participants' narrative responses informed the coverage and relevance of constructs in a working intersectional model predicting women's use of violence in their same-gender intimate relationships. In particular, findings indicate that sexual minority women's experiences of gender role stress and minority stress, particularly in combination, were especially influential on their identities. Sexual minority women's experiences with minority stressors were not confined to minority stressors specific to their gender identities and sexual orientations, but intersected with minority stressors related to race and class as well. These findings support an intersectional and contextually-minded approach to IPV intervention and prevention strategies.

Beyond Crime, Sin and Disease: Same-Sex Behaviour Nomenclature and the Sexological Construction of the Homosexual Personage in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth CenturyCerquozzi, Giancarlo January 2017 (has links)
Over the course of history, many cross-cultural efforts have been made to understand better the form and function of male same-sex behaviour. Initial naming exercises evaluated the sexual actions taken, and categorized these behaviours as expressions of crime, sin and disease. Various historical accounts note that it was in fin-de-siècle Germany and England, however, that several concepts were developed for the first time to encapsulate male same-sex behaviour, and to identify the type of men engaging in such conduct, in a more tolerant way. Operating within the taxonomic impulse of the eighteenth century, sexology — the scientific study of sexualities and sexual preferences that were considered to be unusual, rare, or marginalized — spurred the development of these new concepts. In the aim of better understanding humans through scientifically evaluating, quantifying, and labelling their sexual form and function, sexology moved male same-sex behaviour beyond the notions of crime, sin and disease. This thesis argues that the key works of sexologists Karl Heinrich Ulrichs (1825-1895), Károly Mária Kertbeny (1824-1882), Henry Havelock Ellis (1859-1939) and Magnus Hirschfeld (1868-1935) were instrumental to the theoretical endeavour of reclassifying male same-sex behaviour. These four sexologists operated within the parameters of what Foucault calls scientia sexualis: the machinery needed for producing the truth of sex via confessional testimony. Through their own confessional testimony, and testimony collected from other men with same-sex behaviour, Ulrichs, Kertbeny, Ellis and Hirschfeld deemed same-sex behaviour to be a phenomenon based on congenital conditions and one which manifested itself in the form of an inherent sex/gender misalignment. While this behaviour was uncommon, it was not abnormal due to its biological origin. Same-sex behaviour was simply an anomaly of sorts — one specific and rare form of attraction on a spectrum of possibilities. This rationalization of same-sex behaviour differed greatly from the work of other sexologists of the time who evaluated same-sex behaviour to be symptomatic of crime, sin and disease like degeneration theorist Richard von Krafft-Ebing. In arguing that same-sex behaviour developed naturally prior to birth, Ulrichs, Kertbeny, Ellis and Hirschfeld empowered men with same-sex behaviour to negotiate new identities for themselves outside of crime, sin and disease. This discursive rebranding of same-sex behaviour is an example of what feminist postructuralism labels as reverse discourse. In order to negotiate new identities for themselves and others with congenital same-sex behaviour, Ulrichs, Kertbeny, Ellis and Hirschfeld developed four specific concepts. These terms are: Urning (1865), homosexualität (1869), sexual inversion (1897), and third sex (1914). While these examples of reverse discourse were operationalized within restrictive conceptualizations of gender expression, they moved away from classifying same-sex behaviour as temporary acts to classifying those engaging in this behaviour as a specific species of people. This transition from sexual act to personage has been elaborated upon most famously by Michel Foucault in The History of Sexuality, Volume 1 (1978/1990).

Attitutes of first entering students towards same-sex relationships at the University of LimpopoMalatji, Lungile Cornellia January 2016 (has links)
Thesis (M. A. (Clinical Psychology)) -- University of Limpopo, 2016 / The South African constitution makes provision for the rights of gays and lesbians, and has legalized same-sex relationships. However, many people, including students in same-sex relationships continue to be harassed and maltreated. The purpose of this study was to examine the attitudes of first entering students towards same-sex relationships at the University of Limpopo. A sample of 100 students (first entering students= 50, final level students = 50; with ages ranging from eighteen to forty five years), with a total number of twenty five (25) students drawn each of the four faculties at the university were selected using a convenience sampling method. Data was collected using the Homophobia Scale comprising of 25 close-ended questions which focus on behavioural, affective and cognitive attitudes towards gays and lesbians. Data were analysed using nominal data analysis and interpreted using the Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) software. The study results revealed that fifty two percent (52%) of first entering students at the University of Limpopo have negative attitudes towards same-sex relationships with seventy four percent (74%) of first-entering students having no knowledge regarding same-sex relationships. Seventy three percent (73%) of participants behave negatively towards people in same-sex relationships. The study is concluded by recommending that more similar studies that include larger sample of students from different universities and different racial backgrounds be conducted. The results of the study have implications for the University of Limpopo in when it comes to understanding and promoting knowledge about same-sex relationships.

Detekce podezřelých síťových požadavků webových stránek / Detection of Suspicious Requests Made by Web PagesPohner, Pavel January 2020 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to prevent websites located in public internet from accessing user's internal network through web browser. Acquired knowdledge about modern browser's security mechanism - same-origin policy and options of implementing the web browser extensions using WebExtensions, was used in the solution. Proposed solution is based on WebRequest API, which intercepts and modifies HTTP requests, and extends functionality of existing browser extension JavaScript Restrictor with the ability to detect and prevent the browser to be abused as a proxy for scanning and accessing user's internal network. The implemented solution was tested and accepted as a part of JavaScript Restrictor. The main benefit of this thesis is the protection from possible abusement of a web browser as a proxy, which is not present in existing extensions.

Gender and Language similarities and differences in mixed sex conversations and same sex conversations in the American TV series Modern FamilyAli, Feisal January 2021 (has links)
The study aimed to analyze females and males in mixed-sex conversations and same-sex conversations using cooperative speech, competitive speech, interruptions, and similarities and differences in their communication styles in the Tv series modern family. Men and women are said to use different speech styles regarding cooperative, competitive, and interruptions. I used three conversations taken from Season 1 Episode 24, Family Portrait, for mixed-sex conversations in my analysis. I also used three same-sex discussions taken from Season 3, Episode 5, Hit and Run, and Season 1, Episode 11, Up all night. The result shows similarities in both same-sex and mixed-sex conversations regarding women’s use of cooperative speech styles and men’s use of competitive speech styles and interruptions. However, my study found differences regarding women in mixed-sex and Same-sex conversations when it comes to interruptions. Women interrupt in mixed-sex discussions and not in same-sex discussions. Therefore, my analysis of the series modern family is in line with previous research on gender and language.

Vem har rätt till äktenskap? Frågan som splittrar EuropaJehrlander, Frida January 2020 (has links)
Should same sex couples have a right to marriage? This question has been debated frequently during the last two decades. The legislation across Europe shows a divide between countries that have legalised same-sex marriage and countries that have introduced constitutional bans on same-sex marriage. Using a theory that emphasises the moral dimension of human rights, I examine the right to marriage in the European Convention of Human Rights from an ethical perspective. The purpose of this thesis is threefold. The first aim is to investigate how the right to marriage is regulated in The European Convention on Human Rights and how its interpreted by The European Court of Human Rights. The second aim is to identify and assess central arguments in the debate about same sex marriage from a human rights perspective. The third and final aim is to perform a critical examination of the right to marriage in the European Convention of Human rights from an ethical perspective. This study shows that The European Court of Human Rights is cautious in its interpretation of the right to marriage and has chosen to await a European consensus before including same-sex couples in the right to marriage. By looking closer at the evolutionary interpretation of the convention, as discussed by George Letsas & Kanstantsin Dzehtsiarou, I conclude that this interpretation should be based on certain moral principles. Through the examination of central arguments in the same-sex marriage debate I draw the conclusion that same sex couples have a moral right to marriage. Thus, this thesis suggests that there is a contradiction between the moral dimension of human rights and The European Court of Human Rights interpretation of the right to marriage for same-sex couples. I therefore argue that there should be an ethical demand to include same sex-couples in the right to marriage.

Postoje studentů psychologie k adopci děti stejnopohlavními páry / Psychology students' attitudes towards adoption of children by same-sex couplesLukáš, Richard January 2019 (has links)
Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague, Department of Psychology Richard Lukáš Psychology students' attitudes towards adoption of children by same-sex couples (Master Thesis) Consultant: PhDr. Lenka Krejčová, Ph.D. Praha 2018 Abstract: Same-sex parenting (homoparentality) is new, yet still not well explored phenomena in Czech Republic. Purpose of this study is to explore the attitudes of Czech psychology students (N=337) to homoparentality. The vignettes, i.e. model stories describing the situation of a couple preparing to adopt a child, were used. The sexual orientation of the couple and child's gender varied. After reading one of the six versions of the vignette, participants assessed the parental competences and child's future development after adoption. The factor analysis of dependent variables was performed with 8 scales as a result. Independent variables were traditional and modern homophobia, beliefs about etiology of homosexuality, gender roles attitudes etc. Results indicate that students view homoparentality rather positively. However, the homoparental and heteroparental families were rated differently. The participants were more concerned about normative sexual development and victimization of children from homoparental families. On the other hand, children from heteroparental families...

Att ”komma ut” som våldsoffer – ett dubbelt stigma? : En scoping review om partnervåld i samkönade relationer mellan män / ”Coming out” as a victim of violence – twice as stigmatizing? Intimate partner violence in same sex relationships betweenmenElvius, Andreas, Schlömer, Mathilda January 2021 (has links)
Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva och diskutera forskningen avseende partnervåld i samkönade relationer mellan män samt att undersöka faktorer som påverkade våldet, och analysera våldsutsatta mäns upplevelser av hjälpsökande. Metod: För att besvara syftet genomfördes en litteraturöversikt utifrån scoping-review metodik. Femton artiklar inkluderades och analyserades med innehållsanalys. Resultat: Resultatet visade att forskningsfältet avseende våldsutsatta homo -och bisexuella män var framskridande. Fem teman identifierades; emotionellt våld, hjälpsökande, samhällsnormer och centrala begrepp, våldets processer, risk -och skyddsfaktorer. Emotionellt våld var vanligast, samhällsnormer såsom heteronormativitet och homofobi skapade stigma. Internaliserad homofobi och inlärda könsnormer skapade ytterligare hinder för män att ”komma ut” som homosexuella och som våldsoffer. Droger förekom, liksom andra riskfaktorer, såsom ålder och hiv-status. Slutsats: Genom tillämpande av ett systemteoretiskt perspektiv och nivåindelning, kunde växelverkan mellan olika faktorer belysas på ett sätt som klargjorde behovet av och betydelsen i tillämpandet av ett helhetsperspektiv i arbetet med våldsutsatta homo -och bisexuella män. / Purpose: The aim was to describe and discuss research about partner violence in same-sex relationships between men, together with exploring factors that influenced violence, and analyze the experiences of help-seeking. Method: a literature review was conducted based on scoping-review methodology. Fifteen articles were included and analyzed with content analysis. Results: Research on gay and bisexual men exposed to violence was progressing. Five themes were identified: emotional violence, help-seeking, societal norms and key concepts, processes of violence, risk -and protection factors. Emotional violence was most common, societal heteronormativity and homophobia created stigma. Internalized homophobia and gender norms created barriers for openness as gay and victim. Drugs, age, and HIV was mentioned as risk factors. Conclusion: Through a system theoretical perspective and level arrangement, interaction between factors could be highlighted in a way that clarified the need for and importance in the application of a holistic perspective in the violence preventive work.
