IT’S A WOMEN’S JOB! GENDER STEREOTYPES AND HOUSEHOLD CHORES SHARING IN YOUNG MEN
No full textDomestic work is still a contested terrain. According to the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE, 2022), 63% of women undertake household chores and cook on a daily basis compared to just 36% of men.
When it comes to parenting, women are still the ones mainly responsible for childcare: About 56% of women with children under 12 years old spend at least 5 hours per day on childcare, compared to 26% of men (EIGE, 2023). This unequal division of housework responsibilities perpetuates beliefs and expectations that caregiving is a feminine duty and creates significant obstacles for women to participate in the labor market on an equal footing with men.
The present study investigates the perception of household chores in young men and the factors predicting a gendered division of domestic work. 92 male university students (Mage = 22.42) filled in an online questionnaire in which they rated the typicality of domestic duties for women and men. The analyses
confirmed that our participants considered housework, in particular cleaning and children care activities as Feminine activities while gardening, home and car maintenance as masculine activities. The results showed the participants’ political orientation strongly influenced this stereotypical view. However, growing up in a
family in which the division of domestic work was more equal between mothers and fathers led to less stereotypical attitudes and a higher participation in household chores in the sons. The implications of these findings for gender equality and family dynamics are discussed
Il comportamento del fronte di scavo in galleria: osservazioni in sito e modellazione
No full textNella presente nota vengono descritte alcune analisi riguardanti le misure di estrusione e convergenza effettuate durante lo scavo della galleria Raticosa, in corso di realizzazione per la linea dell'alta velocità ferroviaria da Bologna a Firenze. La galleria si sviluppa in una formazione di argille scagliose fortemente tettonizzate (Complesso Caotico) con coperture fino a 500 m. A causa delle sfavorevoli condizioni geotecniche previste lo scavo della galleria è stato effettuato mediante il rinforzo del fronte con barre in vetroresina e la rapida applicazione di un anello chiuso di calcestruzzo proiettato e centine. Il comportamento del terreno durante lo scavo e l'influenza della tecnica di costruzione adottata sono attualmente oggetto di studio mediante l'analisi a ritroso delle misure effettuate in sito
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Considerations on the deformation of Ridracoli dam foundation based on the analysis of monitoring data
Full text linkThe behaviour of the Ridracoli arch-gravity dam in the 2002-2020 operation years has been analysed, by applying "statistical"models of increasing complexity to the time series of pendulum and long-base extensometer measurements. The modelling approach has proved robust. A satisfactory estimate of the reservoir load, thermal and irreversible drift components has been obtained for most of the instruments. As expected, the influence of temperature is lower for the instruments deeply embedded in the rock mass. The deformations recorded on the left and right bank of the dam have shown a minor influence of the anisotropic proprieties of the rock mass, well characterized by the mechanical tests performed at the time of dam construction
