Selected aspects of the substitute care system in Germany
Authors: Nowakowska Ewa
Published: August 2018

The media usually promote a negative image of the German „Jugendamt”. Meanwhile, the Youth Welfare Office (Socialgesetzbuch VIII Kinder- und Jugendhilfe) based on the bill SGB VII, has been established directly to help the families s affected by problems. Basically, this help is limited to supporting parents and caretakers in providing the welfare and education for the children. However, in the most drastic cases, the help system is expected to locate a minor in a foster environment. Federal Statistical Offi ce registers a systematic growth in the number of minors that are in various forms of care outside the family. In 2016, the number included 174 800 persons (in 50% of cases the withdrawal of parental rights was dictated by the parents’ incapability of
coping with parental issues). The German institutional model of foster care designed for minors living abroad is characterized by introducing minors to care homes (Standprojekt), encouraging them to participate in yacht cruises (Schiffprojekte) or so-called travel projects (Reiseprojekten). In accordance with the German regulations, the children of foreigners under 18 are considered minors, thus if they travel without adult supervision, they are deemed unaccompanied minors and are consequently put under the care of the Youth Welfare Office.
Socio-therapeutic methods used in school’s common-room
Authors: Szolz Katarzyna
Published: August 2018

The function of school’s common rooms (“Świetlica” – an after-school care facility in Polish schools) is no longer limited to the caring and educational functions. School common rooms undertake preventive and therapeutic programs more often than before. The following article presents socio-therapeutic methods used by the author in the professional practice of a common room teacher in order to correct and eliminate unwanted behaviour in students, to create a friendly atmosphere in the students’ group, and to help them alleviate emotional tension. The article is based on author’s knowledge and experience acquired in a role of a common room pedagogue. The aim of the article is to indicate the possibility of using socio-therapeutic methods in the school common room to improve the educational effort of the school.

La competencia estatal en materia de becas y ayudas al estudio: fundamento y alcance
Authors: Canal Muñoz José
Published: August 2018

Resumen:Las becas y ayudas al estudio vienen siendo calificadas en el ordenamiento español como subvenciones públicas. Este trabajo sostiene que sería más adecuado con nuestro marco constitucional otorgarles la consideración de prestaciones públicas, financiadas con cargo a los Presupuestos Generalesdel Estado. La revisión de la naturaleza jurídica de las becas y ayudas al  estudio tendría relevantes consecuencias: por un lado, recomendaría que el Legislador definiese el contenido del derecho a obtener estas prestaciones públicas, de forma similar a otros ámbitos de la actuación administrativa. Por otra parte, permitiría fundamentar la revisión de la doctrina del Tribunal Constitucional sobre el reparto de las competencias entre el Estado y las Comunidades Autónomas en esta materia, a partir de la invocación de la regla 1.ª del artículo 149.1 CE.Summary:1. Public funding of education. 2. The right to obtain grants. 2.1. Constitutional  or legal nature of the right. 2.2. Content and constitutional limits of the right. 3. The student grants system. 3.1. Concept, characteristics of student grants. 3.2. Nature of student grants. 4. The territorial distribution of competences related to grants. 4.1. Regulatory power. 4.2. Executive powers. 5. A possible revision of basis and scope of competence. 5.1. Grants as public service. 5.2. The rule 1 of article 149.1 of the Constitution. 6. Conclusions.Abstract:Scholarships are classified in the Spanish legal system as public subsidies. This paper argues that it would be more appropriate with our constitutional framework to confer them the consideration of public benefits, financed by Publics Budgets. The review of the legal nature of student grants would have important consequences: on the one hand, Law should rule the content of the right to obtain these public benefits, in a similar way to other areas of Administration. On the other hand, the Constitutional Court may review its position on the distribution of the competences between the State and the Autonomous Regions, by calling the rule 1 of article 149.1 of the Constitution.
Funciones secundarias de la Corte Constitucional colombiana: una aproximación a la decisión sobre excusas a los emplazamientos cursados por el Congreso

Resumen:Este artículo se centra en la poco explorada cuestión las competencias secundarias de la Corte Constitucional colombiana, en especial sobre la competencia de decidir sobre las excusas a los emplazamientos que hace el Congreso en ejercicio de su control político y público. Para este propósito se estudia el origen de esta competencia en la Asamblea Nacional Constituyente, se la analiza en el contexto de otras experiencias constitucionales y se considera,a partir de fuentes teóricas (normativas y doctrinales) y evidencia empírica(estudio de casos), dos hipótesis sobre su naturaleza y alcance, para concluirque se trata de una competencia jurisdiccional, que se concreta en una providencia judicial que hace tránsito a cosa juzgada, y que puede tenerse comouna modalidad especial del control de constitucionalidad.Abstract:This article is focused on the ill studied topic of the Colombian Constitutional Court’s ancillary powers, and especially on its decisions regarding a person’s refusal to attend hearings related to Congress’ control functions. Thus, the text begins with the origins of this power discussed at the constituent assembly, then analyzing it in Comparative Constitutional Law. Also taking into account both theoretical and practical elements — such as doctrine, norms and case law—, it does propose two hypotheses concerning its character and effects, concluding that entails an exercise of judicial power with res iudicata force and that it comprises a especial type of judicial review.Summary:Introduction.

Glatte pornokroppe og alternative åbninger
Authors: Grimstrup Mette
Published: August 2018

The article examines whether pornographic movies for women are able to address questions of gender and sexuality in a more reflexive and less phallocentric way than that of traditional pornography. Analyzing the movie All About Anna (2005) I discuss why the producers seem to avoid one of the most distinctive features of pornography - the feeling of authenticity, of ";real lust"; visible on screen. This ";real lust"; has so far mostly been symbolized via the visible male come shot, and the film producers struggle to find a female equivalent. I argue that the film producers' inability to visualize female lust in an ";authentic"; setting is caused by their still being constrained by the traditional porn genre's phallocentric gender patterns. Using the French lesbian, queer and transgender pornographic movie One Night Stand(2006) as an example, I argue that by changing the gendered expectations and by consciously deploying the genre's quest for authenticity, this movie solves some of the problems that appear in All About Anna.
Non-governmental Organizing in the People’s Republic of China – a Reading Inspired by Agential Realism
Authors: Milvertz Cecilia , Fengxian Wang
Published: August 2018

In this essay we show how various theories, not least Karen Barad’s theory of agential realism, have inspired us to a reading that opens up theorizing on non-governmental organizing in the People’s Republic of China. Drawing on Barad we define such organizing as a phenomenon that emerges through the ontologically inseparable intra-action between three entities that are conventionally viewed as separate.
Gender Equality and the Intersectional Turn
Authors: Einarsdóttir Thorgerdur , Thorvaldsdóttir Thorgerdur
Published: August 2018

The article explores recent theoretical debates on intersectionality and gender equality. It addresses problems and potentialities of the emerging ‘equality for all’ policies, drawing upon empirical examples from equality work in Iceland (equal opportunities workers, minority groups, the City of Reykjavik and the University of Iceland). Practical equality work will be viewed through the lenses of feminist theories on ntersectionality and related to wider political context and gender discourse in Iceland. These empirical examples are analyzed in light of the theoretical background, in particular, the different models, discussed by Verloo (2006) and Squires (2005) regarding how practical equality work can be dealt with. By bringing together theory and praxis, light will be shed on some of the problems and possibilities that are bound up with the different approaches.
Women, Men and Gender Equality in Development Aid – Trajectories, Contestations
Authors: Arnfred Signe
Published: August 2018

Women, men and gender equality in development aid - trajectories, contestations. The Beijing Platform for Action introduced notions of gender equality, which have been picked up by donors and development agents in increasingly popular images of strong enterprising women, however with an emphasis on economic entrepreneurship, disregarding aspects of care- and motherwork. At the same time ‘colonial feminism' is still around, with its notions of women in the global South as oppressed under ‘tradition' but rescued by development and ‘modernity'. Such images have been re-invigorated in the global War on Terror, from 2001 onwards. The article investigates implications of these different but co-existing images of women in development contexts. It also discusses limitations of notions of gender equality, when used by donors and by women's organizations, and when discussed and critizised by post-colonial feminists.

Equality versus difference between girls and boys has been a returning issue in Scandinavian educational debates en this century. Until the turn of the century gendered differentiation was an explicit goal of education. While this lost favour in the period after the Second World War, when the political ideologiy of child centered development and learning gained dominance, many of the assumptions and practices constitutive of gendered difference remained remarkably intact.

Political Intersectionality: Tackling Inequalities in Public Policies in Scandinavia
Authors: Borchorst Anette , Teigen Mari
Published: August 2018

Political Intersectionality: Tackling Inequalities in Public Policies in Scandinavia An analytical approach to political intersectionality has not been in the foreground of the intersectionality paradigm during its first phase. It may, however, generate new insights, both for the intersectionality tradition and for the study of policies that are aimed at influencing social differentiations. The article explores the theoretical background of political intersectionality with a focus on public policies, which relates to a macro level of political intersectionality. A central issue is whether policies are based on a unitary, a multiple or an intersectional policy logic. Moreover, the questions are whether and intersectional approach is inclusive or if it exclusively can stand alone, and, further, whether it is always positive. This is addressed empirically in relation to gender and integrations policies in the three Scandinavian countries.
Interrogating intersectionality: Productive ways of theorising multiple positioning
Authors: Phoenix Ann
Published: August 2018

Intersectionality is an increasingly popular feminist approach to theorising and analysing the fact that everybody is   simultaneously positioned in multiple social categories. It is, however, a much debated concept. This paper considers recent literature on intersectionality to discuss current debates on the concept. In particular, it considers whether, on the one hand, intersectionality fails to address structural inequalities because it focuses on agency and, on the other, if it produces fixed conceptualisations of structure. The paper argues that the most productive versions of intersectionality are those that draw on postmodern ideas. In these versions social categories and their associated positions and identities are treated as fluid and  multiple while recognising that structure and culture are mutually constitutive. The paper also considers whether intersectional theory produces so many intersections that it be comes impossible to know which should be analysed at any particular time. In addition it discusses the methodologies employed by intersectional researchers. It suggests that those analysing intersections have to take strategic and creative decisions about which are the most relevant intersections for specific groups or individuals at particular times and on particular issues. Intersectional methodologies are in the process of development. However, the paper highlights a variety of methodologies used by feminist researchers and argues that the study of intersectionality will continue to be characterised by multiple methods.
Fra ‘Interkulturelle kompetencer’ til et intersektionelt blik – Om socialarbejderes sans for arabisktalende mødres positioner
Authors: Larsen Nanna Brink
Published: August 2018

The article argues that ‘intercultural’ social work could fruitfully be oriented towards the intersectional backgrounds of minority- (as well as majority-)Danish clients. In addition, it has to be based on an approach to intersectionality that emphasises the context-specific and unpredictable articulation of different category positions. Hence, rather than aiming at the acquisition of ‘intercultural competences’ in the sense of transferable, generalisable knowledge of the Other’s cultural dispositions, development projects in ‘intercultural’ social work could work from a more open set of questions concerning the differentiality of positions that make a difference in specific contexts. As ‘culture’ is indeed a category that strongly influences our frameworks of interpretation this may take the meta-competence of observing the influence of one’s own preconstructed articulations of e.g. Arabicness with other categories and with specific problem versions.
Klassernes fortsatte forsvinden
Authors: Faber Stine Thidemann
Published: August 2018

The notion of intersectionality has become important in order to understand the condition of the subject in a society that among other factors are characterized by changing gender relations.  The notion relates itself to a society in which categories such as gender, class, ethnicity, age, sexual preferences, etc. interact with each other in novel and a more fluid and fluctuant way than earlier. Even though, internationally, feminist research has begun to focus on the intersection between different categories, it seems that the attention directed towards class is still minimized; class somehow seems to continue to live in obscurity, which is why a reflection of a distant past comes to mind as the class category by various means has a history of marginalisation within the feminist agenda. The article thus emphasizes the need to develop new feminist ways of thinking and writing about class.

En hetero på laget
Authors: Eng Heidi
Published: August 2018

A straight guy on the team.‘Raballder' is a Norwegian gay handball team competing in the mainstream national handball league. As a team they have a political consciousness towards contributing in making a difference being the only gay team in a ‘straight' handball environment in Norway. The article discuss the team's potentiality to queer up the handball arena, looking at two elements in particular that emerged during the competition season 2006/2007: 1) a straight guy enters as a player on the gay team, and becomes a figure in queering the mainstream handball context, 2) An internal conflict emerges in the team concerning the players enacting as heteronormative macho sportsmen versus as effeminate gay ‘queens' on the handball field. The latter is recognizable as gay culture which seems in this Norwegian sports context to have a deconstructive potential on male heteronormative, competitive sport.

Opvækst hos fædre
Authors: Christoffersen Mogens Nygaard
Published: August 2018

After separation 6 percent of the three to five year old children live with their fathers while 94 percent live with their mothers. In this Danish study a stratified sample (N=1.137) with an equal number of fathers and mothers were selected. About 89 percent were interviewed (N=1.010). The results where that 478 fathers and 532 mothers were interviewed either by phone or personal at home. Results revealed a close association between strains on the parents and the well-being of the children. A job where parents were appreciated and probably also engaged gave the parents an extra strength to solve problems at home. Unemployed parents found themselves compelled to use different kinds of punishment against the children. Although, one third of the fathers have got the children because of the death of the mother or because the mother for different reasons were unable to take care for the cildren (alcoholism, psychiatric decease, imprisonment etc) the fathers had better jobs, less unemployment and fewer psychological problems. As a consequence they were less rough against the children than the mothers. Both parents and the grandparents make up a social network which is of great importance in the formation of children's identity. Unfortunately, this network suffer of the dissolution of the family. When the children are living with tha fathers this network are more intact that in cases were the children are living with the mothers. (The study has been published in Danish: Socialforskningsinstituttet, report 96:23)
Hjemmehjælp og hjemmehjælper i forandringens arena
Authors: Lewinther Mra
Published: August 2018

This article analyzes how home helpers from a rural and an urban municipality have reacted to the organizational changes that have taken place in the home care services. The changes are based on a model of self-directed groups that was employed in various production industries that had as its objective both improving worker job satisfaction and productivity. The home helpers felt that the changes were partially beneficial. They appreciated the fact that they could work in groups an have colleagues they could discuss work related problems with. On the other hand, they were concerned about the instrumentalization of their work that accurred at the same time; it became more governed by regulations and narrowly defined tasks rather than clients's needs. The article discusses how industry production differs from home care and discusses the existence of two cultures: that of traditional women's domestic work and caring and that of medical-bureaucratic organization and how these have clashed around the organizational changes.

Divine Interventions. (Re)birth and Creation Narratives in "Fra Mand til kvinde - Lili Elbes Bekendelser"
Authors: Meyer Sabine
Published: August 2018

Divine interventions. (Re)birth and creation narratives in Fra mand til kvinde - Lili Elbes bekendelserWith (re)birth and creation narratives being a prominent strand in biographically aligned writing especially of and about male to female transsexuals, looking at an early account like Fra Mand til Kvinde (1931)  elucidates how the hierarchy between medicine and transsexual subject is inscribed into such texts. The article examines how (re)birth narratives serve as indicators for the various stages of Lili Elbe's transition while leaving her in a subordinate state and dependent on the moulding of her surroundings, especially her surgeon who is staged as a god-like persona and hence appears as the creating force behind Elbe's transformation. Engaging with those allegedly ‘divine interventions', not only highlights the reception of a trans-medical relationship but also exposes the reproduction of power structures on a larger scale.

E n forestilling er en idé, et mentalt billede, som vi konstruerer på baggrund af indtryk og referencer. Det er ofte en opfattelse, der har groet sig fast i vores bevidsthed som følge af vedvarende påvirkninger eller gentagelser. I dette åbne nummer af Kvinder, Køn & Forskning præsenterer vi en række artikler, der spænder bredt i både indhold og tilgange. Der er ikke tilstræbt nogen emnemæssig sammenhæng mellem dem, og alligevel berører de alle, hver på sin måde, idéen om forestillinger . Det er forestillinger om ligestilling, om seksualitet og om kønsroller. Om relationer, identitet og modsætninger.
Kvinders integration i akademiet
Authors: Rosenbeck Bente
Published: August 2018

I Sverige er der i de seneste år udkommet en række afhandlinger, som historisk skildrer kvinders integration eller mangel på samme i universitetsverdenen. Tord Rönnholms: Kunskapens kvinnor. Sekelskiftets studentskor i mötet med den manliga universitetsvärlden fra 1999 analyserer den første periode fra 1873 frem til 1914, hvor de kvindelige studerende efterhånden udgjorde 10 pct. af de studerende. Rönnholm har set nærmere på, hvem de var, og han har undersøgt, hvordan systemet tog imod dem, ved at analysere universitetets og politikernes debat vedrørende kvinders adgang til at studere. Endvidere rummer afhandlingen et mentalitetshistorisk studium af de kvindelige studerende, deres syn på sig selv og fremtiden, og deres forhold til de mandlige studerende.
Kønsforskel og neutralitet – danske tørklædedebatter set gennem Luce Irigarays teoriom kønsforskel og den anden
Authors: Pedersen Linda Lund
Published: August 2018

This article adopts a philosophical approach to Danish media and parliamentary debates on Muslim headscarves. Through the use of Luce Irigaray's theories on sexual difference it suggests a new perspective. It argues that the debates have generally failed to recognize the other (i.e. the Muslim veiled woman) as the other. Ultimately this is due to dominant (white, Christian) culture being unable to accept and understand difference - in particular sexual difference as its foundation. In the meeting with the other, the other is reduced to the same.
Familie-arbejdslivspolitikker fra et ligestillingsperspektiv - det "glemte" sociale ansvar i danske CSR-initiativer
Authors: Larsen Trine P.
Published: August 2018

Work-life balance policies from a gender equality perspective – the forgotten corpo- rate social responsibility in Danish CSR policy. CSR has increasingly attracted national governments and social partners’ attention worldwide. Denmark is no exception. The Danish initiatives have mainly focused on employment related issues rather than gender equality and work-life balance issues. In fact, gender equality is rarely a topic discussed in the Danish CSR policies. This paper argues that social partners have through collective agreements voluntary taken on a social responsibility to ease employees’ work/life balance and thereby promote gender equality. However, these policies mainly address the problems faced by working mothers, less so fathers and rarely careers other than parents are therefore expected to combine work and care-giving with limited if no support from their workplace.
Poststructuralism, Discourse and Problematization: Implications for gender mainstreaming
Authors: Bacchi Carol
Published: August 2018

Poststructuralism, Discource and Problematization: Implications for mainstreaming. This article introduces a methodology, called ‘what’s the problem represented to be?’ (WPR approach), that facilitates a form of poststructural policy analysis, and applies it to gender analysis procedures in Ireland and the Netherlands. In this methodology policies are understood as discursive practices, imposing specific shapes (called problem representations) on the ‘problems’ they purport to ‘address’. A WPR approach to policy analysis involves identifying the underlying conceptual logics in these problem representations and evaluating them in terms of their implications or effects. It also alerts those involved in designing and implementing gender mainstreaming programs to their location within dominant conceptual frameworks and the subsequent need for a form of reflexive policy practice.

This thesis is evoked by research results that reveal that while a number of elite sports women reflect the problem of gender when establishing and maintaining a career in the sphere of elite sport, they do not consider questions about sex and gender in descriptions of their optimum achievements. The achievement of excellence is characterised by a sustained and precise form of success. Furthermore, it is a hyper cultural state , where nature is transformed and the bounds imposed by chromosomes overcome. The athlete becomes a symbol, the internal features of which transcend her facticity as a woman. She sees herself in a new and fascinatinf role by reason of her achievement and not by ascriptions as gender at the state of excellence only include the internal (or personal) features of the symbol? The new role in which the athlete sees herself must necessarily be related to the top achievement is a social event.The thesis is based on study results in the field of sport. However, the article aims to outline a thesis to be examined in gender studies within other spheres of society suck as the spheres of working life and art.

Chinese Women’s Family Status: Analysis of Chinese Decennial Surveys, 1990-2010
Authors: Lu Jiehua , Wang Xiaofei
Published: August 2018

The experiences and status of Chinese women have significantly changed over the last two to three decades, along with China’s modernization. In this article we investigate the domestic division of labor between the two sexes at the present-day in the context of gender equality. Based on data from three Surveys on Chinese Women’s Social Status taken in 1990, 2000 and 2010, the article focuses on important dimensions of women’s family status, such as general changes in domestic decision-making and the time women spend in domestic labor, including rural-urban differences. The article points to “equal rights for both husband and wife” (Fu Qi Ping Quan, 夫妻平权) as being the major pattern in domestic decision-making, yet men have still more rights than women. Also, women are still the main force in domestic labor, although the difference between the times spent in domestic labor by women and men respectively has gradually narrowed. There also seems to be a greater correlation between education and women’s status in rural areas than in urban areas.
The Lure of Car Culture - Gender, Class and Nation in 21st Century Car Culture in China.
Authors: Christensen Hilda Rømer
Published: August 2018

The aim of this article is to scrutinize car culture and gender in post-socialist China and to show how discourses of mobility and gender have come to be intertwined with the new middle class and  ideas of nation and cars as imagined communities. The article departs from theoretical and methodological considerations of gender and car culture and argues that gender and cars are entangled in both global and local assemblages. Using China Daily as the main source of analysis, the article examines how dominant ideas of cars and gender have interfaced with the emerging Chinese middle class and new ideas of masculinity, femininity and Chineseness. Also the article locates car culture as a new site of cultivating individual senses, life styles and new moral aspects of social life. Present day urban car culture in China both challenges and radicalizes fixed figures of gendered and masculinised car culture; while at the same time carving out new gaps related to class, gender and more sustainable modes of transportation.
Teaching Gender in a Transnational Perspective – Challenges, Resistances and Strategies
Authors: Christiansen Connie Carøe , Madsen Diana Højlund
Published: August 2018

This opening article argues for the need for adopting a transnational perspective in the teaching of gender in the classroom, an approach which has considerable resemblance with Mohanty’s ‘Feminist solidarity or comparative feminist studies model’ of teaching. The article contributes to an on-going scholarly debate on the teaching of gender in higher education by specifying how the transnational feminist perspective could be adopted in practice, both in classrooms andin cooperation between universities. Three points that this perspective gives rise to – the translations of gender, the inherent teaching strategies, and the teaching pedagogy involved – are discussed as they call for reflections on the power dynamics between researchers from the Global North and South and the representations of these poles in class-rooms. The article concludeswith some more concrete suggestions for addressing, rather than silencing, the transnational dimension embedded in the practice of teaching gender.
Teaching gender within International Relations: Experiences from a Brazilian University Classroom
Authors: Pinto Vânia Carvalho
Published: August 2018

In this article I propose to reflect upon my classroom experiences and didactical practices teaching gender and international relations (IR) at the University of Brasília. The empirical examples will be drawn from two undergraduate courses: theory of international relations and international relations of the Middle East. The main issue that I am addressing in this article is the students’resistance to the study of gender within IR. Part of the problem rests within the structure of the mainstream discipline as the latter tends to over focus on the systemic level of analysis, a theoretical abstraction that renders women (and people in general) invisible. Given that IR students typically become our future diplomats and civil servants, training in foreign policy must not be allowed to rest on depersonalised state relations, which will at best deliver unidirectional and simplistic views of the world. To that end, I propose a set of topics, literature and pedagogical practices of how to mainstream gender into a general IR discipline. The main points underlying this proposal are to emotionally engage students by carefully selecting which IR topics to study and to decrease the level of abstraction by utilizing real-life up-to-date case studies and examples.
Mentioning the unmentionable – photo interviewing as a way through a methodological crisis in sensitive research matters
Authors: Faxe Pernill
Published: August 2018

In this paper, I discuss the benefits of photo-interviewing in qualitative studies on sensitive research topics by reflecting about a methodological crisis in my study on male infertility. I will also reflect about my own researcher subjectivity and vulnerability and how it shaped the research process. I will show how photo interviewing became a way to navigate both my ethical considerationstoward the interviewees and a way to overcome my own discomfort and thus created a gentler room to be in for both informant and researcher. An interview structured around images offers a dignified way in and out of sensitive topics and can be flexibly employed as an approach to potentially painful topics, whether informants are in ‘the eye of the storm’ or reflecting on a problem in the past.
The speciation of Australopithecus and Paranthropus was caused by introgression from the Gorilla lineage
Authors: Nygren Johan
Published: August 2018

The discovery of Paranthropus deyiremeda in 3.3–3.5 million year old fossil sites in Afar (Haile-Selassie, 2015), together with 30% of the gorilla genome showing lineage sorting between humans and chimpanzees (Scally, 2012), and a NUMT (“nuclear mitochondrial DNA segment”) that is shared by both gorillas, humans and chimpanzees, and that dates back to 6 million years ago (Popadin, 2017), is conclusive evidence that introgression from the gorilla lineage caused the speciation of both the Australopithecus lineage and the Paranthropus lineage, providing a lens into the gorilla-like features within Paranthropus, as well as traits within Homo that originate from the gorilla branch, such as a high opposable thumb index (Almécija, 2015), an adducted great toe (Tocheri, 2011; McHenry, 2006), and large deposits of subcutaneous fat.

Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) is widely expressed in the hypothalamus and an important regulator of energy homeostasis; however, the specific contributions of different CART neuronal populations to this process are not known. Here, we show that depolarization of mouse arcuate nucleus (Arc) CART neurons via DREADD technology decreases energy expenditure and physical activity, while it exerts the opposite effects in CART neurons in the lateral hypothalamus (LHA). Importantly, when stimulating these neuronal populations in the absence of CART, the effects were attenuated. In contrast, while activation of CART neurons in the LHA stimulated feeding in the presence of CART, endogenous CART inhibited food intake in response to Arc CART neuron activation. Taken together, these results demonstrate anorexigenic but anabolic effects of CART upon Arc neuron activation, and orexigenic but catabolic effects upon LHA-neuron activation, highlighting the complex and nuclei-specific functions of CART in controlling feeding and energy homeostasis.

Hematopoiesis leads to the formation of blood and immune cells. Hematopoietic stem cells emerge during development, from vascular components, via a process called the endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT). Here, we reveal essential biomechanical features of the EHT, using the zebrafish embryo imaged at unprecedented spatio-temporal resolution and an algorithm to unwrap the aorta into 2D-cartography. We show that the transition involves anisotropic contraction along the antero-posterior axis, with heterogenous organization of contractile circumferential actomyosin. The biomechanics of the contraction is oscillatory, with unusually long periods in comparison to other apical constriction mechanisms described so far in morphogenesis, and is supported by the anisotropic reinforcement of junctional contacts. Finally, we show that abrogation of blood flow impairs the actin cytoskeleton, the morphodynamics of EHT cells, and the orientation of the emergence. Overall, our results underline the peculiarities of the EHT biomechanics and the influence of the mechanical forces exerted by blood flow.
A SoxB gene acts as an anterior gap gene and regulates posterior segment addition in a spider

Published: August 2018

Sox genes encode a set of highly conserved transcription factors that regulate many developmental processes. In insects, the SoxB gene Dichaete is the only Sox gene known to be involved in segmentation. To determine if similar mechanisms are used in other arthropods, we investigated the role of Sox genes during segmentation in the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum. While Dichaete does not appear to be involved in spider segmentation, we found that the closely related Sox21b-1 gene acts as a gap gene during formation of anterior segments and is also part of the segmentation clock for development of the segment addition zone and sequential addition of opisthosomal segments. Thus, we have found that two different mechanisms of segmentation in a non-mandibulate arthropod are regulated by a SoxB gene. Our work provides new insights into the function of an important and conserved gene family, and the evolution of the regulation of segmentation in arthropods.
