Sex-linked Disorders01:43

Sex-linked Disorders

102.0K
Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.

Hormonal Regulation01:40

Hormonal Regulation

43.4K
Hormones regulate a significant portion of digestion through activation of the neuroendocrine system. The neuroendocrine system of digestion contains many different hormones all with multiple functions that are both, directly and indirectly, involved in digestion.

The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes02:45

The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes

8.5K
In most organisms, sex is determined by the ratio of X and Y chromosomes. However, in some organisms, such as Drosophila and C.elegans, sex is determined by the ratio of the number of X chromosomes to the number of sets of autosomes. The Y chromosome in Drosophila is active but does not determine sex. It contains genes responsible for the production of sperms in adult flies.  
Normal male Drosophila has a ratio of one X chromosome to two sets of autosomes. In contrast, normal female...

Distribution and Dispersion00:54

Distribution and Dispersion

21.7K
To understand intra-specific interactions in populations, scientists measure the spatial arrangement of species individuals. This geographic arrangement is known as the species distribution or dispersion. Highly territorial species exhibit a uniform distribution pattern, in which individuals are spaced at relatively equal distances from one another. Species that are highly tied to particular resources, such as food or shelter, tend to concentrate around those resources, and thus exhibit a...

Mate Choice01:20

Mate Choice

8.0K
Mate choice—the decision about whom to mate with—is a type of natural selection, since animals must reproduce to pass down their genes. Mate choice is also called intersexual selection because the behavior occurs between the sexes.

Nondisjunction01:29

Nondisjunction

75.5K
During meiosis, chromosomes occasionally separate improperly. This occurs due to failure of homologous chromosome separation during meiosis I or failed sister chromatid separation during meiosis II. In some species, notably plants, nondisjunction can result in an organism with an entire additional set of chromosomes, which is called polyploidy. In humans, nondisjunction can occur during male or female gametogenesis and the resulting gametes possess one too many or one too few chromosomes.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Despite women forming the majority of dental faculty in Iran, men demonstrated superior scientometric performance across key indicators like papers, citations, and h-index. Further research is needed to explore these gender disparities in academic output.

Area of Science:

  • Medical and Health Sciences
  • Social Sciences

Background:

  • Gender inequality research is vital for understanding societal imbalances.
  • Disparities persist across various domains, informing policy-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate gender differences in scientometric indices among Iranian dental faculty.
  • Analysis included overall and specialty-specific data.

Main Methods:

  • Examined publication profiles of dental faculty using the Iranian Scientometric Information Database (ISID).
  • Analyzed variables including papers, citations, h-index, and author positions.
  • Employed Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests for data analysis using R v4.0.1.

Main Results:

  • Women constituted 60% of dental faculty (1104/1850); however, men had higher numbers of papers and citations.

  • Men exhibited higher median scientometric indices (h-index, papers, citations), except for self-citation and international paper percentages.
  • Women showed a higher proportion of corresponding-author papers, while specific fields like restorative dentistry had higher men-to-women ratios.

    • Conclusions:

    • Women are the majority in Iranian dental faculties, but men achieve higher scientometric outcomes.
    • Significant differences in publication metrics exist between genders.
    • Further investigation is required to understand the underlying causes of these observed gender-based disparities.
