This report attempts to show that single housing areas in general

With time, the race among countries to reduce gender inequality has resulted in a worldwide reduction in gender discrimination. However, all regions have not performed equally; lagging behind most is the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Many potential reasons have been put forward, but in recent times the most discussed sources of this disparity have been the region’s religion and oil d

This paper studies the relationship between contraceptive adoption by women and three relevant predictors: women’s education, empowerment and religious affiliation. I employ recent information on women’s characteristics and the institutional environment for six Latin American countries, in the years 2013-2015, to perform a cross-section analysis with binary and multinomial logistic regressions, ha

Using ethnographic methods, I explore how young, single rural Chinese wom

Spatial patterns are important cues for flower detection and recognition by nectar-feeding insects. Pattern vision has been studied in much detail in bees and flies but rarely in butterflies and moths. In this paper, I present a first proof of pattern-learning abilities in a moth, and discuss reasons for the limitations to their pattern learning. The diurnal hawkmoth Macroglossum stellatarum spont
