Abstract. Many risks are associated with the Covid-19 crisis and related lockdown measures in the areas of employment, the economy, and everyday life. Working parents have faced the challenge of combining their work and family obligations following the closure of schools and kindergartens. A considerable number have encountered a bigger risk of unemployment and the linked financial instability. The extensive literature analysing changes during Covid-19 suggests that women have tended to suffer more, been faced with both less stability since their employment statuses appear to be more precarious, and been disproportionally affected by the heavier burden of balancing family care and work obligations. Our own analysis of the most reliable survey data available shows corresponding changes in Slovenia, confirming that the crisis reveals certain less visible, already existing inequalities along with particular new gender inequalities, and in this respect also presents specific research design conditions for assessing otherwise hidden disparities. The results indicate the consequences for the subjective well-being of women compared to men of the more precarious employment and the stronger demand for family care.

Not much research has looked at how diversity and gender affect military professionalism and diverse groups perceive this concept. Using a qualitative approach, the study examined perspectives on military professionalism and unprofessionalism among diverse members of the Albanian Armed Forces (AAF). To ensure a diversity of participants, the study was based on the constructivist paradigm (multiple realities) as well as the Gender Perspective in the Albanian Armed Forces report (2013), which helps identify the varying impacts of such research on diverse groups of men and women. A total of 150 individuals participated in interviews and focus groups between October 2022 and August 2023. The findings show that professionalism and unprofessionalism each have distinct characteristics, where leadership is a key factor. This study sheds light on the members' experiences and how the latter affect the way in which professionals are perceived. Keywords: Albanian Armed Forces, Military Professionalism, Qualitative Research, Diversity
Abstract. The present article explores the use of grammatical forms in job advertisements published over the past 60 years (1958, 1978, 1998 and 2018). A historical examination of the use of gender forms in employment is based on analysis of job advertisements published in the Slovenian language, and the particular socioeconomic context. The results show that the frequency of use of the masculine, feminine and neutral forms has not drastically altered over the decades. In general, feminine and neutral forms were used less frequently, and the masculine grammatical form consistently dominates. In 2018, the latter was seemingly 'neutralised' by adding the abbreviation M/F

Les dades publicades per l'Institut Nacional d'Estadística (INE) mostren que, des de 2011, hi ha una forta estabilitat en la xifra de divorcis -situada al voltant dels 100 mil anuals, en la meitat dels quals hi ha fills/es menors d'edat-, mentre que es dóna un notable increment de la custòdia compartida, en detriment del paradigma anterior de custòdia exclusiva de la mare amb un règim de visites pel pare. Entre 2011 i 2016, la custòdia compartida ha passat del 12% al 28% dels divorcis amb fills/es menors. Aquest creixement, liderat per les comunitats autònomes que tenen una legislació favorable, reflecteix canvis socials de més llarg abast relacionats amb la igualtat de gènere dins i fora de la llar. L'anàlisi de les sèries de l'INE, sumat a la inèdita explotació de totes les sentències de divorci i ruptures de parelles de fet dels jutjats de família de la ciutat de Barcelona de l'any 2014 -5.894 sentències-, mostren que la custòdia compartida pactada significa, si més no sobre el paper, equitat entre el pare i la mare, tant pel que fa a la residència alternada dels infants com a la participació en les seves despeses. Vist això, ens podem preguntar si seria útil atorgar per defecte la custòdia compartida dels fills després de la separació dels progenitors. La resposta no pot ser més clara: No. La custòdia compartida hauria de provenir d'un pacte que reflectís una pràctica anterior de coparentalitat en equitat, que a dia d'avui encara no és pas majoritària. ; Los datos publicados por el Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE) indican que desde 2011 ha habido una gran estabilidad en la cifra de divorcios: en torno a los 100 mil anuales, la mitad de los cuales con hijos/as menores de edad. Sin embargo, en el mismo período se ha producido un notable incremento de la custodia compartida en detrimento del paradigma anterior de custodia exclusiva de la madre con un régimen de visitas para el padre. Así, entre 2011 y 2016, la custodia compartida ha pasado del 12% al 28% de los divorcios con hijos/as menores. Este crecimiento, liderado por las comunidades autónomas que tienen una legislación favorable al respecto, refleja cambios sociales de mayor alcance relacionados con la igualdad de género dentro y fuera del hogar. El análisis de las series del INE, sumado a un estudio inédito de todas las sentencias de divorcio y también de las rupturas de parejas de hecho no incluidas en las estadísticas del INE de los juzgados de familia de la ciudad de Barcelona del año 2014 -5.894 sentencias-, ilustran que la custodia compartida pactada significa, al menos sobre el papel, equidad entre el padre y la madre, tanto en el cuidado de los niños/as (residencia alternada) como en la participación en sus gastos. A partir de estos resultados, cabe preguntarse si sería adecuado tras la separación de los progenitores otorgar por defecto la custodia compartida de los hijos/as. La respuesta no puede ser más clara: No. La custodia compartida debería ser la secuencia lógica de un pacto que reflejara una práctica anterior a la ruptura de coparentalidad en equidad, la cual a día de hoy todavía no es mayoritaria. ; Data published by the National Statistics Institute (INE in the Spanish acronym) show that, since 2011, the figures for divorces are remarkably stable at around 100,000 every year with half of them involving offspring who are still minors. However, there has been a notable spike in shared custody to the detriment of the earlier paradigm of the mother having exclusive custody and the father visitation rights. Between 2011 and 2016 the figure for joint custody rose from 12% to 28% of divorces where minors are involved. This increase, led by the autonomous regions of Spain with favourable legislation, reflects social changes of a broader scope embracing gender equality within and outside the home. Analysis of the INE series, in addition to work on all 5,894 never-previously-explored divorce and separation (for de facto couples) settlements from the family courts of the city of Barcelona, shows that shared custody means, at least on paper, equity between father and mother, both with regard to alternating residence of the children and also sharing child-related costs. Given this situation, one might ask whether it might be a good idea to grant joint custody by default after the parents have separated. The answer is a resounding no. Joint custody should be the result of an agreement that reflects prior co-parenting practice in equality, and this is far from being a majority situation nowadays.
En els últims anys han aparegut a Catalunya i Espanya legislacions específiques per a garantir i reconèixer els drets de les dones. Aquestes novetats legislatives tenen com a objectiu transformar les relacions de gènere en les nostres societats. Des d'aquest punt de vista, podem preguntar-nos en quina mesura cal que el dret a la seguretat sigui abordat també des d'una perspectiva antidiscriminatòria, des d'una perspectiva de gènere. ; In the last years, some specific legislation has appeared in Catalonia and Spain in order to assure and recognize women's rights. These legislative novelties aim at transforming gender relationship. From this point of view, we can ask ourselves to what extend the right to security also needs to be tackled from an antidiscrimination perspective, from a gender perspective. ; En los últimos años han aparecido en Cataluña y en España legislaciones específicas para garantizar y reconocer los derechos de las mujeres.

Las entradas de reinas a ciudades fueron un campo primordial de acción política y construcción ideológica durante la Edad Moderna española. Conjugadas como uno de los grandes eventos públicos de la monarquía, proporcionaron a ésta muchas ocasiones de glorificación y justificación a la vez que se soslayaban los puntos más débiles de la autoridad regia. Desde el punto de vista cultural, fueron ámbito para el desarrollo de complejos programas iconográficos y caóticos conjuntos decorativos, a la vez que escenarios en los que las relaciones de género se visualizaban en el entorno urbano. El presente artículo traza una panorámica de este género de fiestas en el siglo xvi español, a través de las relaciones contemporáneas ; The gender of pageants. Court, city and queenship in 16thcentury Spain. Queens' entries into cities became a focal point for political and ideological discourse in early modern Spain. Construed as some of the monarchy's greatest public events, they provided numerous occasions for kingship glorification and legitimization, while overlooking its shortcomings and flaws. From a cultural perspective, they allowed for the development of complex iconographic programmes and chaotic decorative ensembles, visually staging gender relationships in the urban environment. This essay offers an overview for this type of pageantry in Spanish 16th century, through remaining literary accounts.
Presents a wide range of emerging models of historical interpretations of culture, including the "open house" concept of cultural history, which defines culture as high art, literature, & music -- & the "cultural encounter" model. Drawing on the centrality of Peter Burke's (1991) demand for a broad understanding of culture, some important contributions to the new cultural history are discussed. It is argued that the state, social groups, gender, & society itself are culturally constructed. 8 References. Adapted from the source document.
