How can information technology (IT) paradigms and design processes be studied from a gender perspective? What does IT design look like when its construction is informed by gender research? Though gender research and computing science seem like two separate worlds, this book proves how inspirational a confrontation and combination of those worlds can be. A deconstructive analysis of advanced fields of computing shows the multiple ways in which software design is gendered and how gendering effects are produced by its use. Concepts and assumptions underlying research and development, along with design tools and IT products, teaching methods and materials are studied. The book not only offers a gender analysis of information society technologies, it also shows practical examples of how IT can be different. A gender perspective on IT design can serve as an eye-opener for what tends to be overlooked and left out. It yields innovative ideas and high quality software systems that may empower a large diversity of users for an active participation in our information society.

Implementing the goals of the Bologna declaration means a completely new organization of study programmes, working conditions and the production of knowledge aiming at the harmonization of the European Scientific Area. The new entrepreneurial university is making efforts to increase economic efficiency, transparency and to offer new forms of services in academic teaching and research. More or less vehement debates deal with the question if and to which extent this process will change the original character of academic education and science. Gender research however, is especially interested in the influence of the restructuring process on gender relations. In which way do rationalization and reorganization of the universities and of the universities of applied sciences de/engender academic teaching and research? Where is gender research positioned now? Researchers from European and non European countries will respond to these problems/questions which seem to be unsolved so far.

Cornelius Grebe offers an analysis of work-family reconciliation policy in Germany during the Socialdemocrat-Green coalition government of 1998 to 2005. His emphasis lies on Anti-Discrimination Policy, Childcare Policy, Parental Leave Policy, and Working Time Policy. The study combines a social constructionist stance with an alternative feminist standpoint, thus offering a new methodology for political science. Although no ready-made solutions to the incompatibility problem are suggested, its changed representation is analyzed closely, leading to engaging conclusions about how policy might be different if policy-makers understood the problems differently. The study is an entirely original contribution to understanding social policy in Germany and essential reading for researchers and students from the social sciences, in particular sociology and political science.

The number of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) operations has increased continually over the past decade. To date, roughly one-third of these are performed on women. Despite the tremendous progress made in cardiovascular surgery, not all patients profit equally from it, and the mortality rate of women still exceeds that of men by a factor of two. Studies conducted to investigate this marked gender difference have yielded conflicting results. In particular, adjustment for clinical risk factors seemed to diminish the difference, but could not fully explain it. Therefore psychosocial parameters, in particular depression and psychosocial stress, have gained increasing attention as predictors for both mortality and quality of life after CABG operation. Gender differences in these variables have long been observed in patients undergoing CABG: female patients are on average older, more often depressive and more often living alone than male patients. This book presents the very first German study to focus on these gender differences. By describing the gender-specific influence of psychological and clinical variables on the recovery process, this work fills an important gap in cardiovascular research. Its approach is interdisciplinary in the best sense. The study underlines the importance of psychosocial variables for both mortality and quality of life in the context of CABG. Thus, it may be seen as a basis for a better understanding and treatment of CABG patients.

Volgende week is het carnaval, dus Luka wil in een prinsseenjurkt naar school, niets anders Want carnaval, dat is een feest. En bij een feest hoort een feestelijke outfit...Een warm verhaal over zijn wie je bent, ook al is dat niet altijd gemakkelijk. Voor iedereen vanaf 5 jaar die houdt van een beetje glitter.Bron: bibliotheek.beLuka houdt van zachte stofjes, glitters, maar vooral van ?Roze?. Het is binnenkort carnaval en hij droomt van een prinsessenjurk. Zijn mama kocht hem echter al een blauw superheldenpak. Maar Luka houdt helemaal niet van blauw! Als zijn mama even druk bezig is, duikt hij in haar dressing, trekt hij haar mooiste jurk aan en gebruikt haar favoriete lippenstift. Wat zal mama daarvan denken?Ineke Debels is kinderboekenblogger en droomde al jaren van haar eigen prentenboek. Eindelijk is het zover en ligt dat boek in de boekhandel. Samen met Katrien Benaets, maakte ze er een pareltje van. Ze vertelt het warme verhaal van Luka, die gewoon zichzelf wil zijn, maar wel eens op onbegrip stuit. In een rijke taal geeft ze Luka een stem en weet ze zijn gevoelens perfect te vatten. De illustraties in zachte kleuren passen helemaal bij de mooie, warme tekst en brengen het verhaal echt tot leven. De warmte van het verhaal straalt van elke pagina af en om helemaal eerlijk te zijn, moest ik bij het omslaan van de laatste pagina bijna een traantje wegpinken.Het thema van het boek, jezelf kunnen én mogen zijn is helemaal van deze tijd en zal iedereen die van een beetje glitter houdt aanspreken. Een zalig boek om te vertellen voor het slapengaan of met kinderen vanaf 5 jaar mee aan de slag te gaan in de klas. Met dit debuut zet Ineke zichzelf als kinderboekenauteur op de kaart en dat heeft ook Clavis gemerkt, want in het najaar verschijnt reeds een tweede boek van haar hand. Ik ben alvast helemaal fan!Bron: https://hetboekenrijk.com/2023/05/10/prinses-luka-ineke-debels-katrien-benaets/
