CONDIC* The question of when human life begins continues to be a source of ethical and political controversy. In this debate, the language used by many medical textbooks fosters significant misinterpretation of the scientific facts. In particular, terminology that refers to the product of sperm-egg fusion as a "penetrated oocyte" and claims that the zygote does not form until syngamy (approximately twenty-four hours after sperm-egg fusion) have resulted in the erroneous belief that a human embryo does not exist during the period prior to this point (i.e. the "pre-zygote error"). Yet an objective view of the modem scientific evidence supports only a single definition of the term "zygote": a one-cell human organism (i.e. -
DONNE E SCIENZA NELLA CINA CONTEMPORANEA Il Ruolo Femminile Nella Costruzione Della Leadership Scientifica Cinese
Corso di Laurea magistrale in LINGUE E CIVILTÀ DELL'ASIA E DELL'AFRICA MEDITERRANEA Tesi di Laurea DONNE E SCIENZA NELLA CINA CONTEMPORANEA Il ruolo femminile nella costruzione della leadership scientifica cinese Relatrice Ch.ma Prof.ssa Laura De Giorgi Correlatore Ch. Prof. Guido Samarani Laureanda Elena Bonometti Matricola 851223 Anno Accademico 2018 / 2019 ABSTRACT Negli ultimi decenni ci sono stati progressi nell’impegno per eliminare il divario di genere nell'ambito dell'istruzione e delle carriere scientifiche. A livello mondiale, tuttavia, le donne rappresentano ancora una minoranza nella comunità scientifica. La Cina contemporanea, attualmente tra le nazioni che maggiormente investono nella scienza e tecnologia, punta a diventare una potenza scientifica a livello globale. Essendo le donne cinesi una parte di popolazione significativa, la nazione ha riconosciuto negli ultimi decenni l’importanza e la necessità di cambiare la visione che aveva sulle donne e ha cominciato a investire nella forza lavoro che esse rappresentano. La ricerca pone l’attenzione sul ruolo che le donne cinesi hanno nella società, analizzando in particolare la loro partecipazione nelle STEM. Il fine di questo lavoro è comprendere la tendenza nella Cina di oggi per quanto riguarda donne e scienza: qual è il loro ruolo, qual è la loro presenza, qual è il loro contributo e qual è il possibile trend futuro. L’obiettivo è comprendere se e come questo ambito, tendenzialmente considerato maschile in tutto il mondo, venga promosso alle donne cinesi per rispondere -

It concludes that, neither moral control in the patent law nor federal funding control is a effective way to monitoring HESC research.
