This contribution deals with the evolution of women's mobilization forms and digital activism in Tunisia and Morocco and their media coverage. The objective is to observe and describe the main demand topics for more individual freedoms and women's rights carried by citizen and activist actors in the Tunisian and Moroccan digital space. The study focuses on a double corpus resulting from a regular monitoring of Facebook pages, Twitter accounts as well as the Youtube platform. This analysis allowed us to point out the new forms of engagement allowed by digital media and to show the emergence, in these countries, of a new activism from below that is complementary but autonomous from classical activism.

The article compares two cases of refused abortion, that of Izabela Šajdor from Poland and that of Mirela Čavajda from Croatia, from a feminist ethics perspective. Based on the theory of feminist ethics and the writings of feminist theoreticians like Simone de Beauvoir, Evelyn Reed, and Susan Sherwin, as well as media reporting on the two cases, the author argues that structural oppression causes complete neglect for the perspective of women in applied ethics for these two cases of abortion, and that can be based neither in false myths of biologically inherited differences between men or women, nor the ethics of pro-life arguments, as it neglects the life of the mother. The two extreme cases reflect circumstances in which the society, and at least in Poland legally supported by governing bodies, impose an abortion ban. The consequence of such a ban is that abortion is not treated as a medical procedure but as a means of oppressing women, as evident from the treatment of Izabela Šajdor and Mirela Čavajda. The article opens the question of the ethical treatment of women in cases of abortion bans. Debates on the ethics of abortion commonly focus on the life of the fetus itself and not that of the mother. Women, in this context, become objects of broader debate and collective decision-making of society and its dominant values. As an outcome, women lose access to healthcare and bodily autonomy. A feminist ethics and feminist contractarian perspective is necessary to argue in favor of practices and approaches that bridge the gap in circumstances where women’s safety and individual decision-making is dependent on popular values.

Women and men use the media for the same reasons: to access and use information for themselves, their families and their communities. The media provide an opportunity for women and men to express their opinions in the community, at the national and global levels. In this article, we will consider which images (women and men) are most often found on the pages of newspapers on the right and left banks of the Dniester "“Nezavisimaya Moldova”" in 2014, "Pridnestrovie" in 2014, "Pridnestrovie" in 2021 and "Ziarul de Garda" in 2021 year. How much has the presentation of the image of women on the right and left banks of the Dniester changed in 7 years

This small-scale study aims to trace the changes that have occurred in the Korean family institution in a time span of about one hundred years, more specifically, since the beginning of the 20th century, when Korea opened its borders to foreigners, until the present, as well as to identify the causes that have led to these changes. The theoretical framework I will employ is thematic analysis, defined by Berelson (1952, 18) as “a research technique for the objective, systematic, and quantitative description of the manifest content of communication”. The data subjected to analysis come from a number of novels authored by Korean and Korean-American writers, such as H. Lee (1997) Still Life with Rice, S. Park (2011) This Burns My Heart, and NJ. Cho (2018) Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, to mention just a few. The reason behind opting for literature as a source of information is that I consider it to be a cultural product of particular socio-cultural circumstances inextricably linked to history. The fragments from the novels have been analyzed in terms of some of the identified themes, such as the status roles created by marriage in the Korean culture, the involvement of men in the house chores and child-rearing, in-laws’ attitudes towards their daughters-in-law, and the chances of married women to keep their jobs, divorce, to mention just a few. The primary data is supplemented with information coming from the Korean society trend survey, conducted by Statistics Korea. The findings of the analysis will reveal a slow, though obvious change in the family institution, which could be attributed to factors such as the Western influence, the spread of Christianity in the peninsula, as well as the massive industrial, technological, and economic development of Korea.

The purpose of this study is to explore the teaching methods and related theoretical studies of gender differences in bel canto. Focusing on four aspects: breathing, vocalization, resonance, and emotional expression, this study implements vocal music through gender-differentiated teaching methods and strategies. By carrying out a case study, the author summarizes the application and effectiveness of these teaching methods in the teaching of bel canto, and draws the following conclusions based on the research results: first, teaching methods tailored for gender differences enable students to make rapid progress in singing, breathing, vocalization, resonance, and emotional expression; their goals of learning vocal music are clearer. Second, the gender- dependent teaching methods promote the amelioration of vocal music teaching, break through the difficulties in practical teaching, and improve the teaching level and ability of instructors. Finally, this article puts forward teaching and research suggestions for vocal teachers and vocal education.

Presented research focuses on detecting of interrelationships between the overall rate of self-harm and the symptomatology of eating disorders. The research group consisted of 60 adolescent girls with eating disorders (anorexia and bulimia). We used the SHI questionnaire to determine self-harm and EDI-2 to determine the symptoms of individual eating disorders. We detected that there was a moderate positive relationship between self-harm and the overall score in EDI-2 symptoms. We also found moderate and weak positive relationships between eating disorders symptoms and self-harm. We did not observe a statistically significant relationship between bulimia and self-harm.

Time management and the division of domestic tasks is a real problem for Romanian families. These days, in reality, parents spend less and less time with their children, as they are busy with their jobs, and, consequently, in the absence of the parents who are supposed to supervise them, little ones take refuge in the latest technological developments, i.e., phone, tablet and computer. I dedicate this study to the teachers, parents and to all those interested in how they can use their time efficiently and in how this influences the division of tasks and responsibilities in a family so that it may function in a balanced way, develop harmonious relationships and a healthy emotional state.

The paper proposes using the sex ratio at birth (SRB) as a “population test” to study the impact of extreme exogenous shocks on demographic status of historical populations. 53,355 baptismal records from the years of 1801–1920 for Detva population, located in the Upper Hungary, contemporary Slovakia, were examined for the purpose of the study. The sex ratios at birth were calculated as the proportion of the number of male live births to the number of female live births. Our results show a decline in the values of SRB in the years when the population was exposed to wars, including Napoleonic wars, civil wars, and the First World War, and economic crises caused by natural disasters and crop failures. These events could have contributed to poverty, deterioration of living conditions, insecurity, social and psychological instability, loss of property and family members, and could have been the source of psychological stress to which pregnant mothers were exposed.

The paper seeks to deconstruct the image of the monstrous-feminine in video games insofar as it sees in it a fitting entry to the root of the problem of femininity in general. The monstrous is seen as a primary cultural category, marking that which stands on the edge of the hermeneutic circle and thus questioning its contents; the grotesque as a formal-aesthetic hallmark of the concrete personifications of monstrosity; and abjection as their unconscious constitutive motif. Video games, as a medium with an active agent rather than a passive spectator, are analyzed in terms of their extraordinary technical capabilities that make possible the literal and naïve playing out of the battle around the construction of subjectivity (matricide). The conclusions of the text function as a theoretical framework for constructing a typology of the monstrous-feminine and the specific connotative landscapes of its different types.

The lascivious habit of the barons and counts, the wine-drinking "Aga of Sarajli" and other merry princes, to nonchalantly pinch the backsides of the maids as they pass by, has survived in a slightly modified form to this day. Everywhere where any kind of power, even a minor one, has congealed. In the case of directors, some public intellectual actors, bosses, tycoons, bigoted pops, mutes and nasrudin-hodžics, skorojević-hostesses, pop moguls, smirante professors... Even if they don't grope, with lascivious macho allusions they choreograph quasi-eroticism where it doesn't belong. Thus, before it was called for, let alone founded, gender ethics was already excluded, suppressed, extinguished and doomed to failure.

When it comes to gender inequality, regardless of which part of the world we are talking about, whether it is the West, which has made considerable progress in the application of equal rights in practice, or the non-West, which follows such a policy, but it is more difficult to implement in reality, it is still impossible to talk about the achieved equal rights of women and men. Even today, this inequality hides the possibility that the social community treats the female gender with disdain, and if a woman tries to resist this, she is most often exposed to public lynching. Many feminist theorists show in their research that such foundations were laid far in the past, and sacred texts confirmed what was already part of everyday gender politics even before monotheistic communities.

Excerpts from Aleksandra Kolontaj's diary entries from 1914 show her attitude towards the war and the tasks of social democracy in such a situation. In her autobiography, she wrote: "For me, war is horror, madness, a crime, and from the first moment on - rather emotionally than rationally - I rejected it".

Gender equality plans are an eligibility criterion in research funding under Horizon Europe from 2022. The article analyzes the ideas of gender equality in a European and national context and the applicable terminology. Discussions on indicators of gender equality in higher education, national specifics and approaches to their implementation are presented. The aim of the article is to systematize the issues, methodological problems and solutions in the development of GEPs, examining the theoretical foundations, regulation, statistics and good practices in Europe and Bulgaria. The topic is gaining popularity in our country and so far the emphasis has been on building organizational capacity and culture, instead of engaging with specific indicators of gender equality.
