Transmission-ratio distortion at Xp11.4-p21.1 in type 1 diabetes
No full textNaumova et al. (1998) reported a deviation from the expected Mendelian 1:1 ratio of grandpaternal/grandmaternal alleles at loci in Xp11.4-p21.1 in the children of 47 families not selected on the basis of the disease status of the children. The transmission-ratio distortion (TRD) was found only among male offspring and was manifested as a bias in favor of the inheritance of the alleles of the maternal grandfather. The critical region, containing the putative TRD locus, named “DMS1,” was mapped to an interval bounded by DXS538 and DXS7 and peaking at DXS1068.
These observations might have an impact on the results of a study in which we have provided evidence of linkage to type 1 diabetes mellitus (MIM 222100), in the same region of chromosome X (Cucca et al. 1998). The possibility of TRD at chromosome Xp gives rise to the question of whether the diabetes-linkage results are indeed disease specific. The following evidence suggests that it is highly unlikely that the DMS1 locus is responsible for the chromosome Xp linkage to type 1 diabetes
Smart Cities for Women: New Scenarios for Equal Opportunities. A Pedagogical Perspective
No full textThe aim of the paper is to tackle the connection between gender and technologies. This issue proves to be a pivotal
point in the field of equal opportunities, though it has not been sufficiently analyzed and despite the fact that the issues of
inequality and social segregation connected with it are relevant. A significant gap between the sexes has been highlighted
by several studies on the relationship between women and new technologies. Some other studies, in suggesting an
overcoming of dichotomies (including public-private, man-machine, male-female) that historically have been the basis of the
greatest discrimination between the sexes and have conditioned the perception that women have of themselves, agree in
arguing that ever since the computer era began, it has been from the beginning a culture and machinery elaborated by men
for men. Even at the same degree of education, age and social condition, the digital divide emerged as a new expression of
the traditional social-cultural model in Italy, resistant to changes and capable of relegating women to the margins of the
country’s life. Conditioned on many fronts, Italian women have thus responded in a more limited way and with more difficulty to growing technological progress, precisely because the culture they live in has not prepared them to confront it. In particular, the less frequent use of computers by women is due to a sort of “inner prohibition”, which is the result of several cultural legacies that have always characterized the technological universe. Furthermore, recent Italian data agree with international literature in highlighting, even today, an approach to the digital world that is not "user-friendly" for women. In fact, the female presence within the scientific and professional pathways of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) area is significantly lower than the male one. Therefore, in the second part, the contribution intends to present the first results of a research project which, using mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) and based on the principles of critical feminist pedagogy, intends to identify among Neapolitan women the possible and different meanings of “gender approaches” to technological and social development in urban contexts
