Gender difference in mobility and daily activity pattern has attracted much research attention. Evidence is piling on mobility gaps between males and females in terms of travel mode choices, travel ...distances, and activity pattern, etc. On the other hand, there is also empirical evidence concerning gendered mental health. There is, however, little research attention paid on the link between gendered mobility and activity pattern and gendered mental health. This study aims to establish such a link. We make use of sample survey data collected from Shanghai in 2018 and develop multigroup path analysis model to identify the relationship between mobility, activity pattern and mental health for the two gender groups. The results confirm the findings of previous studies and show that there are major differences in mobility and activity pattern between the two genders: males have longer travel time, conduct less household maintenance activities but more personal and nighttime activities, and visit few places on daily basis than females do. More importantly, this study finds that mobility and activity pattern have different implications for male and female's mental health. For instance, the usage of public transit has negative impacts on the mental health of females but not that of males, and engagement in nighttime activities contributes to the mental health of females but not that of males. Our findings highlight the importance of promoting equal mobility for both genders to enhance public mental health. In addition, planners and policy makers may develop gender-specific mental health promoting policies and strategies such as: males' mental health could benefit from land use mix strategies, which facilitate their participation in more activity types while reducing travel burdens; infrastructures and facilitates that enable more nighttime activities for females could help improve their mental health.
•Gendered mobility has been well acknowledged in different study contexts.•Little is known about how gendered mobility is related to gendered mental health.•Gender difference in mobility- mental health relationship was observed in the study.•High land-use mix may help promote males' mental health.•Nighttime activities are beneficial for females' mental health.

The correlation between students’ information communication technology (ICT) literacy and conceptual knowledge from a gender perspective is essential to understanding the causal effects of student ...learning. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the relationship between students’ ICT literacy and conceptual knowledge in a genetics course, especially from a gender perspective. This study employed a descriptive research method that used randomized sampling. The instruments used were conceptual knowledge and ICT literacy test sheets. The data were analyzed by using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson correlational statistics. The results showed male students have higher ICT literacy than females. Otherwise, male students have a lower conceptual knowledge than females. Furthermore, male students’ ICT literacy and conceptual knowledge showed a strong relationship, while female students showed a weak relationship. The findings support the idea that integrating ICT into genetics curricula might help students develop their ICT literacy and conceptual knowledge more effectively, especially female students.

Recorded female crime is less than 10% in Spain, as is the case in other European countries, however, women continue to be studied more as victims than as perpetrators. The purpose of this article is ...to show a general view of the phenomenon of female delinquency in Spain in the last decade, showing its characteristics, prevalence, profiles, and the treatment in prison of a population that represents a minority within penitentiary institutions. To do this, a mixed methodology is used, resorting to official statistics and data regarding the phenomenon presented, but also to studies that analyse this subject. In the same way, female prison population is compared with the data concerning the male population, pointing out similarities and differences both quantitatively and qualitatively. As main conclusions, it can be highlighted how the treatment of female offenders continues to present marked sexist biases and lacks a gender perspective in its treatment.
Com base na hipótese de que a formação jurídica com perspectiva de gêneroe interseccionalidades é essencial para atingir a meta 5.c prevista no Objetivo de DesenvolvimentoSustentável 5 «Empoderamento ...de mulheres e meninas» da Agenda 2030da ONU, objetiva-se analisar o potencial de um ensino jurídico com viés crítico e comconteúdos sensíveis aos Direitos Humanos das mulheres e interseccionalidades. Quantoaos meios de pesquisa, estes se enquadram como bibliográfico e documental, pois sepautaram na análise de artigos, livros e documentos jurídicos sobre a temática. Diantedo conteúdo examinado, é possível afirmar que as questões que permeiam os debates degênero, feminismo jurídico e interseccionalidades precisam estar presentes no ensinodo direito. Não obstante, a eficiência de tais políticas públicas demanda esforços múltiplose conjuntos do Estado, das(os) educadoras(es) e de toda a sociedade.
Few studies have examined the epidemiology of polypharmacy in non-institutionalized elderly adults with regard to sex differences. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of polypharmacy among ...people ≥65 years old residing in Spain, analyze trends in that prevalence from 2011/12 to 2020, describe the use of the medicines involved and study the possible relationship between polypharmacy and certain sociodemographic, health-related variables, as well as the use of care services by sex.
A nationwide cross-sectional study with 21,841 non-institutionalized people ≥65 years old from the Spanish National Health Survey (2011/2012 and 2017) and the European Health Survey in Spain (2014 and 2020) was performed. We used descriptive statistics, performing two binary logistic regressions to determine the factors related to polypharmacy.
The prevalence of polypharmacy was 23.2% (women: 28.1%, men: 17.2%;
< 0.001). The most commonly consumed medicines were analgesics and tranquillizers, relaxants or sleeping pills in elderly women, compared with antihypertensives, antacids and antiulcer drugs and statins for elderly men. In both sexs, the positive predictors of polypharmacy included average, poor and very poor self-perceived states of health, people with overweight and obesity, being severely/non-severely limited due to a health problem, having ≥ three chronic conditions, visits to the family doctor and hospitalization. Among elderly women, negative predictors were alcohol intake, whereas in elderly men positive predictors were being 75-84 years old, being current smokers and having 1, 2 chronic conditions.
Polypharmacy has a prevalence of 23.2%, with women accounting for 28.1% and men 17.2% of the total. Knowledge of positive and negative predictors of polypharmacy have important implications for public health efforts to develop or improve health guidelines and strategies for promoting the proper use of medication, particularly in the elderly population by sex.
The purpose of this article is to analyze how the covid-19 pandemic affected the perceptions and uses of time of domestic workers in Spain, focusing, in particular, on the cities of Granada and ...Zaragoza. Our work derives from the project “El cuidado importa. Impacto de género en las cuidadoras/es de mayores y dependientes en tiempos de la Covid-19” (CUMADE) coordinated by Universidad Rovira I Virgili de Tarragona-Cataluña (Spain), and run by interdisciplinary research teams from ten Spanish universities between the months of September 2020 and January 2021. The research is qualitative, based on in-depth interviews, and designed to investigate the impact of covid-19 on the care of the elderly and dependents and, more specifically, on the domestic workers’ sector. Temporality, so severely affected by the uncertainty and unpredictability of the new situation, provides an interesting axis for qualitative analysis of the discourses of women workers on the way in which the pandemic has conditioned their daily lives. To undertake this analysis, we base ourselves on the work of Ramón Ramos on las imágenes sociales del tiempo (the social images of time). This approach represents an original and novel analysis of the reality of domestic workers, while at the same time dialoguing with other recent work on this issue. The images of time as a resource, scenario, or horizon serve to analyze the discourse of our interviewees and show how time, understood as a social category, has structured and organized their lives. We consider what they have been able to do and what they have not been able to do, the distribution and intensification of tasks, their plans for the future, and the physical and emotional impact of the pandemic.

This study explores a socially relevant problem related to teachers' conceptions of hate speech from a gender perspective present in the discourse of teaching history and social science educational ...practices. The methodology was used within the paradigm with a case study design, as a generalization was not intended. The sample consisted of 80 professors of history and social sciences. A quantitative questionnaire was used to determine the conceptions of the participants. The main findings include the constraints placed by programs and curricula on the presence of hate speech, student interventions in classes, and strategies implemented by participating teachers to position counter-narratives to hate in their practice. The conclusions include the importance teachers place on analyzing the prevalence of hate speech in their practice, both by students and the media, and its impact on teaching. In addition, the results offer some educational insights and perspectives for positioning hate speech as a transformative social justice perspective.
