La tesis aquí presentada se realizó en una comunidad rural del municipio de Salamanca, Guanajuato; en donde gran parte de la población masculina en alguna etapa de su vida migra hacia Estados Unidos. La migración internacional ha sido una estrategia recurrente que utilizan los grupos domésticos en la comunidad para asegurar su reproducción. Este suceso altera la dinámica cotidiana de los grupos domésticos y de sus integrantes, pues alguien debe suplir al migrante en las actividades que este desempeñaba; generalmente son la madre o esposa quien asume esas responsabilidades, es así como las mujeres durante el periodo de migración realizan actividades consideradas como masculinas.

In this study, we investigated the influence of two SNPs (rs846910 and rs12086634) of the HSD11B1 gene that encodes 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1(11β-HSD1), the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of cortisol to cortisone, on variables associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome in 215 individuals of both sexes from southern Brazil. The HSD11B1 gene variants were genotyped using the TaqMan SNP genotyping assay. Glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol were measured by standard automated methods. Significant results were found in women, with carriers of the G allele of SNP rs12086634 having higher glucose levels than non-carriers. Carriers of the A allele of SNP rs846910 had higher levels of...

As mulheres têm um papel fundamental na manutenção da vida e nas atividades produtivas promotoras da equidade social, da justiça ambiental e do desenvolvimento sustentável. Dentre os desafios enfrentados por elas, destacam-se a invisibilidade de seu trabalho, a violência e a discriminação no campo e nas instituições, a restrição de acesso à terra e ao crédito e a dificuldade de acesso às políticas públicas. Há inúmeras iniciativas do governo brasileiro para promover a igualdade de gênero e a autonomia das mulheres, culminando em diversas políticas públicas. No entanto, a mudança cultural e de paradigma necessária para valorizar, reconhecer e fortalecer as mulheres no campo, nas florestas e nas cidades, exige que essas políticas se transformem em políticas...

Situated transformations of women and gender relations in small-scale fisheries and communities in a globalized world
Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: Frangoudes, Katia; Gerrard, Siri; Kleiber, Danika.
The need to uncover, interrogate, and integrate women’s contributions to fisheries in research and development has never been clearer. As coastal and fisheries management continues to look to the Sustainable Development Goals and the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication, as frameworks and mandates, gender equity and equality have become a central concern. To fill the still existing gap of documentation and theoretical engagement, in this thematic collection, we gather together voices from researchers and practitioners from around the world, with one overarching common approach of using a gender lens to examine the relationship between humans and aquatic resources....

This study aimed to describe the characteristics of villages and women’s households that might induce environmental awareness among fuel wood collecting women in one location of Kenyan dry land. Two probit models were constructed to examine which parameters were associated with two dependent variables, afforestation action and thermal efficient improved cooking oven. Participation in age of respondent, family size and group-activities had a significant effect on two dependent variables. However, age and family size indicated opposite relation on two independent variables. Moreover, it could be considered that one of important factor of improved cooking oven was economically affordability because of large property (i.e. to have cows and lands). On the other...

Gender participation in fisheries management of Lake Victoria, Kenya
Provedor de dados: Ocean Docs: e-repository of  publications
Autores: Lwenya, C. A; Lwenya, K.R.; Abila, Richard O.; Omwega, R.
Gender plays an important role in the artisanal fisheries, therefore it critical for both men and women to participate fisheries management. This paper analyzes gender responses to introduced or enhanced fisheries regulations and constraints to compliance so as to facilitate gender participation in the management of Lake Victoria in Kenya. Both primary and secondary data have been used. Results indicated that in Lake Victoria, there is a clear-cut division of labor differentiated by gender, which is culturally defined. Men and women respond to management measures differently due to differentiated roles and space they operate in. Poverty emerged as a constraint to both men and women but affecting the women much more due to lack of economic and status...

Projet pour le développement rationnel et durable du secteur de la pêche au Sénégal (INT/07/16M/SPA)
Provedor de dados: Ocean Docs: e-repository of  publications
Autores: Perrine Anderson.
Description du secteur de la pêche Avec la Mauritanie, le Sénégal est de loin le plus grand producteur de produits de pêche de la sous région. Avec 718 km de cote et un territoire maritime de 198km2, 15 745 km2 de superficie fluviale, 2 estuaires, des mangroves et un lac de 350km2, le Sénégal possède tous les atouts des plus grands producteurs de pêche. Le potentiel annuel de captures s’élève à 500 000 tonnes. Le secteur a subi une croissance spectaculaire ces trente dernières années : les débarquements sont passés 50 000 tonnes en 1965 à plus de 450 000 en 1997. Le secteur se compose principalement de deux sous-secteurs : la pêche industrielle et la pêche traditionnelle ou artisanale. Cette dernière, vielle de plusieurs siècles a su s’adapter et se...

Assessing Rural Women Food Producers Capacity to Adopt Modern ICTs – A case Study of the Mfantsiman District of Ghana
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Sampong,   D.D.; Egyir,   Irene Susana; Yaw,   Osei-Asare.
The traditional way of information dissemination has been through people; the modern way is through the electronic media – improved information and communication technologies (ICTs).  For effectiveness, modern ICTs should help women to improve on their income generating capacity.  Issues of level of resource capacity of women, information needed, and current sources of such information become important.  This study sought to investigate the issues above with respect to rural women food producers in the Mfantsiman District of Ghana.  Simple descriptive statistics and econometric models were employed in the data analysis of 91 randomly selected respondents.  The results of the study showed that: In general, the women food producers were aged, subsistence...

Scaling up Kudumbashree--collective action for poverty alleviation and women's empowerment
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kadiyala,   Suneetha.
This paper discusses the factors that enabled and constrained the scaling up of a multisectoral poverty alleviation program called Kudumbashree, initiated by the government of Kerala (GOK), India, in 1998 to eradicate poverty by 2008. It also discusses some potential threats to and trade-offs of scaling up Kudumbashree. This report draws primarily upon the available literature and qualitative data collected during a five-day visit to Kudumbashree in March 2003. In 1991, the GOK, along with UNICEF, initiated the Community-Based Nutrition Program (CBNP) in Alleppey town to improve the health and nutritional status of children and women. CBNP facilitated collective action by forming and developing the capacity of three-tiered community development societies...

The Determination of National Retail and Wholesale Prices of Infant Formula
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Levedahl,   J. William; Reed,   Albert J.
Changes in both retail and wholesale infant formula prices can affect the ability of WIC to supply infant formula to participants. This paper constructs a joint relationship that links national wholesale and retail infant formula prices to economic and policy variables. This joint framework provides a richer interpretation of current issues and questions associated with these markets than frameworks intent on explaining either retail or wholesale prices alone.  We show how this framework can be implemented empirically, and demonstrate how it can be used to obtain empirical estimates of retail and wholesale price flexibilities with respect to rebates, and with respect to changes in WIC participation. Both have implications for cost containment.

An Exploration of Factors Influencing Ethical and Unethical Behavior in Negotiations
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Perry,   Gregory M.; Duffy,   Patricia A.; Nixon,   Clair J.; Robison,   Lindon J.
The issue of ethics has received little notice in agricultural economics journals.  This study utilized a survey technique to reveal the ethical attitudes among some 500 students at four Land Grant Universities. The data were analyzed using multiple regression techniques. Individuals negotiating with strangers were more willing to use questionable ethical tactics. Women, individuals who were cooperative rather than competitive in negotiation situations, and those who regularly attended religious services wer consistantly less willing to use questionable ethics in negotiation. The size of the individual's hometown and family income had no clear impact on ethical attidutes in regotiations.

The contribution of female non-farm income to poverty reduction
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Seebens,   Holger.
There is a widely held view that off-farm income in developing countries tends to reduce poverty, leading to the conclusion that policies should focus on the further diversification of income options of rural households. However, much off-farm employment might be initiated rather as a survival strategy but as a sustainable way to reduce poverty in the long run. Using a rich data set from Tanzania, this study examines the potential income increases generated by off-farm income with a particular focus on off-farm income contributed by women. The findings indicate that women’s contributions to household income through off-farm activities are limited and smaller as compared to those of men. Investigating the possible reasons, fetching water and collecting...

Pro-poor intervention strategies in irrigated agriculture: lessons from the Asian experience
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: International Water Management Institute (IWMI).
Irrigated agriculture has contributed greatly to food security in Asia - and irrigation projects present new opportunities for reducing poverty. This requires that projects deliberately tilt towards the poor. Moreover, policymakers, implementers and managers need to adopt an integrated approach when using irrigation as a pro-poor intervention strategy. With the right institutional and technical conditions, an effective incentives structure and proper implementation and management practices, pro-poor irrigation projects can make a significant difference to poverty in the region.

Water, Women, and Local Social Organization in the Western Kenya Highlands
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Were,   Elizabeth; Swallow,   Brent M.; Roy,   Jessica.
Safe water is widely recognized as both a fundamental human need and a key input into economic activity. Across the developing world, the typical approach to addressing these needs is to segregate supplies of water for domestic use from water for large-scale agricultural production. In that arrangement, the goal of domestic water supply is to provide small amounts of clean safe water for direct consumption, cleaning, bathing and sanitation, while the goal of agricultural water supply is to provide large amounts of lower quality water for irrigated agriculture. A new third use of water is now being given more attention by researchers: small amounts of water employed in selected household enterprises. This third use may be particularly important for women....

Los debates académicos y de políticas acerca de la actividad microempresarial se centran frecuentemente en las restricciones crediticias, asumiendo que los negocios se manejan de manera óptima dadas esas y otras restricciones. Los microempresarios, sin embargo, raramente tienen capacitación formal en gestión empresarial. Por su parte, un número creciente de instituciones de microfinanzas (IMF), en el Perú y el mundo, procura construir el capital humano de estos microempresarios para mejorar sus niveles de vida, contribuyendo a su misión de reducir la pobreza.

Does Workforce Participation Empower Women? Micro-Level Evidence from Urban Bangladesh
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hossain,   Mohammad; Tisdell,   Clement A.
Empirical studies on the impact of women’s paid jobs on their empowerment and welfare in the Bangladesh context are rare. The few studies on the issue to date have all been confined to the garment workers only although studies indicate that women’s workforce participation in Bangladesh has increased across-the-board. Besides, none of these studies has made an attempt to control for the non-working women and/or applied any statistical technique to control for the effects of other pertinent determinants of women’s empowerment and welfare such as education, age, religion and place of living. This study overcomes these drawbacks and presents alternative assessments of the link between women’s workforce participation and empowerment on the basis of survey data...

A gender performance indicator for irrigation:  Concepts, tools and applications
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: van Koppen,   Barbara.
Although gender issues are today a priority on the agendas of irrigation policy makers, interventionists, farm leaders and researchers, there is still a considerable gap between positive intentions and concrete action. An important but hitherto ignored reason for this is the lack of adequate generic concepts and tools that are policy-relevant and can accommodate the vast variation in irrigation contexts worldwide. The Gender Performance Indicator for Irrigation (GPII) aims to fill this gap. In any particular scheme, this tool diagnoses the gendered organization of farming and gender-based inclusion or exclusion in irrigation institutions. It informs irrigation agencies what they themselves can do for effective change-if necessary. The tool also identifies...

Autores: Smale,   Melinda; Diakite,   Lamissa; Dembele,   Brahima; Traore,   Issa Seni; Guindo,   Oumar; Konta,   Bourema.
In Mali, liberalization of seed markets for sorghum and millet, the staple food crops, has not advanced at the same rate or with the same measurable success as liberalization of grain markets. Most seed of these crops is uncertified and continues to be supplied to farmers by farmers, according to clan and ethno-linguistic group. After poor harvests or when replanting after a dry spell, farmers rely on local markets for grain as sources of seed. This paper summarizes the findings of a vendor survey conducted in two marketsheds during weekly fairs. No certified seed is sold. Almost all vendors are women who are also farmers. Variety integrity is maintained particularly for millet seed in the marketshed of the Sahelian zone, where the range of variety...

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Magadza,   Sian Newsome.
Bulilimamangwe is one of the poorest and most marginalised areas of Zimbabwe. In 2001 a community driven project was started under the Kellogg funded Integrated Rural Development Programme, to utilise the indigenous Marula trees found in the area. From the onset project members were mostly women. This paper documents the early years of the project. Achievements are given, problems faced examined and possible solutions put forward. Challenges, opportunities and conflicts are discussed in the hope that these may be of interest in the study of future projects utilising natural resources in poor communities.

ABSTRACT  Introduction: Cervical cancer remains an important burden for HIV-infected women in the era of combination antiretroviral therapy. Recommendations for cervical screening in these women diverge and may include high-risk HPV (HRHPV) testing. We aimed to evaluate the clinical usefulness of a single HRHPV testing for cervical screening of HIV-infected women.  Methods: 723 HIV-infected women from a Brazilian prospective cohort were included between 1996 and 2012. Inclusion criteria were: normal cervical cytology at baseline and having a HRHPV-test at baseline. We calculated incidence rates of any squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) and high grade SIL+ (HSIL+) and negative predictive values (NPV) within 12 and 36 months. Hazard Ratios were obtained...

Provedor de dados: Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Autores: Mesenburg,Marilia Arndt; Muniz,Ludmila Correa; Silveira,Mariângela Freitas.
Sexual behavior is a key factor for susceptibility to sexually transmitted diseases. An evaluation of the sexual behavior of women at reproductive age was conducted in 1999. A replication of this study aims to evaluate the current situation and identify changes in sexual behavior, 13 years later. This is a population-based cross-sectional study, conducted with 1071 women in Pelotas, Brazil. Compared to the 1999 study, a 14% increase in early sexual debut and an 8% decrease in the non-use of condoms were observed in 2012. The proportion of women who reported anal sex doubled between these periods. There was no trend of increase or decrease in the prevalence of behaviors with distinct patterns being observed for each of them. Reduction of non-use of condoms...

Autores: Chalela,W.A.; Fukushima,R.B.; Araujo,F.; Lima,A.C.P.; Moffa,P.J.; Mansur,A.J.
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis of differences in performance including differences in ST-T wave changes between healthy men and women submitted to an exercise stress test. Two hundred (45.4%) men and 241 (54.6%) women (mean age: 38.7 ± 11.0 years) were submitted to an exercise stress test. Physiologic and electrocardiographic variables were compared by the Student t-test and the chi-square test. To test the hypothesis of differences in ST-segment changes, data were ranked with functional models based on weighted least squares. To evaluate the influence of gender and age on the diagnosis of ST-segment abnormality, a logistic model was adjusted; P &lt; 0.05 was considered to be significant. Rate-pressure product, duration of exercise and...

Provedor de dados: Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research
Autores: Piccoli,G.B.; Al Rukhaimi,M.; Liu,Zhi-Hong; Zakharova,E.; Levin,A.
Chronic kidney disease affects approximately 10% of the world's adult population: it is within the top 20 causes of death worldwide, and its impact on patients and their families can be devastating. World Kidney Day and International Women's Day in 2018 coincide, thus offering an opportunity to reflect on the importance of women's health and specifically women’s kidney health on the community and the next generations, as well as to strive to be more curious about the unique aspects of kidney disease in women so that we may apply those learnings more broadly. Girls and women, who make up approximately 50% of the world's population, are important contributors to society and their families. Gender differences continue to exist around the world in access to...

The health-promoting effects of exercise training (ET) are related to nitric oxide (NO) production and/or its bioavailability. The objective of this study was to determine whether single nucleotide polymorphism of the endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) gene at positions -786T&gt;C, G894T (Glu298Asp) and at the variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) Intron 4b/a would interfere with the cardiometabolic responses of postmenopausal women submitted to physical training. Forty-nine postmenopausal women were trained in sessions of 30-40 min, 3 days a week for 8 weeks. Genotypes, oxidative stress status and cardiometabolic parameters were then evaluated in a double-blind design. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure values were significantly reduced after ET,...
