Prejudice about the female sex has existed for a long time, combined with prejudice against black people, it makes lives of women even more difficult, many white and fought to conquer their space in society, some an greater challenge, teach. In this work I make parallel between these great fighters from different locations, challenges achievements were obtained. Many pioneers studying, working ...

Differences in vowel formants in bass and tenor singers, as well as the perception of vowels synthesised at different fundamental frequencies predict that in a group of male or female speakers exhibiting a sufficiently wide range of average fundamental frequencies, there will be a positive correlation between the speakers’ average f0 and the dimensions of their acoustic vowel spaces. This hypot...

This paper presents the formant data on the three Yongding Hakka vowels [i a ]. Results of a spectral analysis show (i) F2 for the vowel [a] is larger for Yongding Hakka than other Chinese dialects, due probably to the ‘nudging effect’ of the mid centralization of the historical */u/; (ii) the Yongding Hakka // has the F-pattern of a schwa; and (iii) the F-pattern of the Yongding Hakka // is...

During early embryogenesis of both vertebrates and invertebrates, antagonism between bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and several unrelated secreted factors including Chordin (Chd) is a general mechanism by which the dorso-ventral axis is established. High affinity binding of Chd sequesters the BMP ligands in the extracellular space, preventing interactions with their membrane receptors. Anot...

introduction: the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of high fiber diet on lipid profile of obese adolescent girls. methods: this randomized cross over clinical trial was conducted in southern iran. a total of 56 patients were randomly assigned into two groups. in the first phase, the experiment group had a high fiber diet while the control group consumed their usual diet for 2...

People have always migrated. Recent globalisation dynamics, however, significantly alter the conditions and features of migration. This paper analyses ruralurban interactions as shaped by female labour migrants in a globalising Thailand. The central question is how female migrants in Bangkok constitute space through their relationships with their rural origin and concisely, whether female labou...

Various authors find that in OECD countries the cross-country correlation between the total fertility rate and the female labor force participation rate turned from a negative value before the 1980s to a positive value thereafter. Based on pooled cross-sectional data, Kögel (2002) shows that (a) unmeasured country-specific factors and (b) country-heterogeneity in the magnitude of the negative t...

The influence of occlusal class in speech production has been studied using the X-ray Microbeam Speech Production Database (XRMB-SPD). The objective of the study was to relate the occlusal classes I and II with vowel production adaptations. The “Modified A-Space” method was used to select 4 speakers (1 class I male, 1 class I female, 1 class II male and 1 class II female). Articulatory and acou...

Community technology centers and libraries have been crucial components of public policy initiatives to reduce the digital divide. Using theories of structuration and the social construction of technology, this paper examines the gender dynamics of the digital divide at public access points in Austin, TX over 10 years. Using extensive participant observations, we foundmale users outnumber femal...
