Sex and gender are important determinants of healthcare that need to be taken into account for medical teaching. Education is more effective if tailored students’ subjectively-perceived needs connected their prior knowledge opinions. This study explored first-year students thoughts about sex differences in general specifically healthcare, what educational preferences learning these concepts dur...

Previous studies have shown that single sex environments can affect an individuals’ behaviour and in particular preferences of women are modified by pressure to conform to gender stereotypes. In competitive circumstances, this has been shown to benefit the performance of women (Gneezy et. al, 2003; Booth et.al, 2009). This paper examines the influence of single sex schooling on individuals’ edu...

M are competitive, sexually indiscriminate, and pushy, whereas females are passive, choosy, and coy. This familiar generalization about the sexual behavior of animals and humans is grossly overstated and potentially misleading, yet has its roots in empirical observation of at least some species. One of the triumphs of modern sociobiology (1, 2) is that evolutionary theory can explain why the se...

Stereotypes were introduced into the Unified Modeling Language to provide means of customizing this general purpose modeling language for its usage in specific application domains. The primary role of stereotypes is to brand an existing model element with specific semantics, but stereotypes can also be used to provide means of a secondary classification of modeling elements. This paper elaborat...

In the context of object-oriented formalism, stereotypes are presented as a new means for user-defined extensions of the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Unfortunately, the stereotypes syntax and semantics vary depending on the proposed extensions and it is not easy to propose a complete formalization of this mechanism. This is the reason why this paper tries to identify and formalize a pertine...
