Subject: [Gendered Innovations] More interesting research

Dear Readers, I don’t see everything, so please if I have missed your article or an important article you are aware of, send me an email.  Many thanks!  Londa

 

1. From the Gender Analytics: Possibilities GA:P Conference in April: takeaways from the conference online here.

 

2. Sex and gender differences in drug treatment: experiences from the knowledge database Janusmed Sex and Gender

L Karlsson Lind, DM Rydberg - Biology of sex , 2023 - bsd.biomedcentral.com

Evidence from clinical research indicates that men and women can differ in response to drug
treatment. The knowledge database Janusmed Sex and Gender was developed to
illuminate potential sex and gender differences in drug therapy and, therefore, achieve a
better patient safety. The database contains non-commercial evidence-based information on
drug substances regarding sex and gender aspects in patient treatment. Here, we describe
our experiences and reflections from collecting, analyzing, and evaluating the evidence 

 

3. Sex analysis in marine biology systems: Insights and opportunities

E. Gissi, L Schiebinger, R Santoleri, F. Micheli. Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment 13 June 2023

The ocean is facing unprecedented challenges due to the escalating impacts of climate change and other pressures threatening ecosystems and the many benefits they provide. Effective strategies for reversing the loss of biodiversity rely on knowledge of how marine organisms, populations, and communities respond to environmental change. A fundamental but often overlooked biological characteristic of organisms is sex, which is distinct from sociocultural gender. Here, we examined how sex influences marine organisms, populations, and communities, through a review of sex analysis applications in marine biological research. We found that sex broadly affects the morphology, physiology, behavior, and distribution of organisms and populations across taxa, with evidence of sex-specific differences in survival to thermal stress, timing of biological mechanisms, and energetics. To facilitate further integration of sex into marine biological research, we synthesize current approaches, discuss methodological and logistical challenges, and lay out guidelines for future research.

 

4. Statistical simulations show that scientists need not increase overall sample size by default when including both sexes in in vivo studies

B Phillips, TN Haschler, NA Karp - PLoS biology, 2023

In recent years, there has been a strong drive to improve the inclusion of animals of
both sexes in the design of in vivo research studies, driven by a need to increase
sex representation in fundamental biology and drug development. This has resulted 

 

5. Participatory design meets gender equality at European higher education institutions

N Iivari, E Tervo, M Käsmä, M Heikkinen - CoDesign, 2023 - Taylor & Francis

Gender equality is among the sustainable development goals expected of higher education
institutions (HEIs). This paper will explore the potential and implications of participatory
design (PD) in the context of gender equality work in HEIs. We study the topic within a
multinational, multidisciplinary consortium, which is working for gender equality in HEIs,
using PD as a tool and inspiration. We identify a variety of local conditions shaping PD and
gender equality work, divergent discourses on gender equality work, and several sources of 

 

6. The Future of Sport and Exercise Science Research in the Female Athlete

RK Kelly, KE Ackerman - Sex Hormones, Exercise and Women: Scientific and , 2023

The uptick in enthusiasm over the last decade surrounding sports and exercise
science (SES) in females has yet to be reflected in the publication of high-quality
research studies illustrating sound and applicable findings. As a result of the 

 

7. Acting on sex and gender in medical innovation is good for business

L VijayasinghamE Bischof, B Ateghang-Awankem - bmj, 2023 - bmj.com

Hence, we present an idea that may align with industry’s and investors market oriented
motivations: rectifying data gaps on sex and gender related factors could increase the demand
for, use, and effectiveness of medical and vaccine research, which would also serve commercial
and market oriented goals. Acknowledging that industry, innovators, and investors value
market oriented outcomes, we contend that filling data and communications gaps on sex and
gender related factors in medicines and vaccines can be good for the advancement of medical 

 

8. Ending the neglect of women's health in research

LAM Galea, RS Parekh - bmj, 2023

The health inequities facing women and gender diverse people are well known. 1
Sex differences exist in both prevalence and manifestation of numerous disorders, 1
making it challenging to diagnose and treat these disorders without recognising sex 

 

9. Creating a Chinese gender lexicon for detecting gendered wording in job advertisements

T Jiang, Y Li, S Fu, Y Chen - Information Processing & Management, 2023

It is widely assumed that gendered wording in job advertisements can be a source of
unconscious gender bias that contributes to occupational gender segregation, and
gender lexicons have been developed and employed to detect gendered wording in 

 

10. Diversified innovations in the health sciences: Proposal for a Diversity Minimal Item Set (DiMIS)

Sustainable Chemistry and Pharmacy

G Stadler, M Chesaniuk, S Haering, J Roseman

Background: Science strives to provide high-quality evidence for all members of
society, but there continues to be a considerable gender and diversity data gap, ie, a
systematic lack of data for traditionally underrepresented groups. Gender and other 

 

11. Good, but not always Fair: An Evaluation of Gender Bias for three commercial Machine Translation Systems

SA Piazzolla, B Savoldi, L Bentivogli - arXiv preprint arXiv:2306.05882, 2023

Machine Translation (MT) continues to make significant strides in quality and is
increasingly adopted on a larger scale. Consequently, analyses have been
redirected to more nuanced aspects, intricate phenomena, as well as potential risks 

 

12. Manikam Kalbu and Nusantara Women: An Inquiry into Regional Female Expertise and Knowledge

NURDM ARIFFIN - 2023

What was the role of women as gatekeepers and users of technology before its
modernisation and institutionalisation in Nusantara? How were they custodians of
specific knowledge formed in and around the Malay world? There is no adequate 

 

13. What Makes a Good Counter-Stereotype? Evaluating Strategies for Automated Responses to Stereotypical Text

KC Fraser, S Kiritchenko, I Nejadgholi, A Kerkhof

Content Warning: This paper presents examples of societal stereotypes that may be
offensive or upsetting. When harmful social stereotypes are expressed on a public
platform, they must be addressed in a way that educates and informs both the 

 

14. Who Authors Social Science? Disciplinary Membership and Disciplinary Knowledge Production

JW Lockhart, MM King, C Munsch - 2023

While data on PhDs, employment, and professional membership abound, data
regarding who authors social science research is both rare and flawed. We present
results from original demographic survey data of nearly 20,000 authors who 

 

 

All best, Londa
