Resumen
Las mujeres africanas están ingresando cada vez más en los campos de la ciencia, la tecnología, la ingeniería y las matemáticas (STEM), pero se enfrentan a obstáculos significativos. Abordar la brecha de género en la ciencia africana es crucial para el progreso continental.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Ciencia, Tecnología, Ingeniería y Matemáticas (STEM) en África
Sus antecedentes:
- África ha sido testigo de un aumento en las estudiantes de STEM femeninas, con un 47% en 2019.
- A pesar del aumento de la matrícula, persiste una significativa subutilización del talento femenino.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Destacar la subutilización de las mujeres en los campos STEM africanos.
- Subrayar el impacto de las disparidades de género en el progreso científico y los desafíos sociales.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis de datos mundiales y regionales sobre la participación de las mujeres en la educación e investigación STEM.
- Revisión de los factores socioculturales que afectan a la progresión profesional de las mujeres en STEM.
Principales resultados:
- Las universidades africanas tenían la mayor proporción de estudiantes STEM femeninas a nivel mundial (47% en 2019).
- Sólo el 31% de los investigadores profesionales en el África subsahariana son mujeres, lo que indica una importante brecha de género.
- Los roles tradicionales de género y las expectativas domésticas limitan el acceso de las mujeres a las carreras de STEM.
Conclusiones:
- Cerrar la brecha de género en la ciencia africana es esencial para abordar cuestiones críticas como la salud materna y la seguridad alimentaria.
- La subutilización del talento femenino en STEM obstaculiza el progreso y el desarrollo científicos generales de África.

02:45The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes
8.4K
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...

01:30Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development
22
Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...

02:19The Y Chromosome Determines Maleness
6.5K
The Y chromosome is a sex chromosome found in several vertebrates and mammals, including humans. In addition to 22 pairs of autosomes, the human males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. In these organisms, the presence or absence of the Y chromosome determines the development of male traits.
Evolution
Around 300 million years ago, the two sex chromosomes diverged from two identical autosomal chromosomes. Over time, the Y chromosome has lost most of its genes, shrinking in size....

01:07Multiple Bar Graph
5.1K
As the name suggests, a multiple bar graph is the same as a bar graph but has multiple bars to depict relationships between different data values. One can include as many parameters as possible. However, each parameter must have the same unit of measurement.
Each bar or column in the multiple bar graph represents a data value. These graphs are used primarily in interrelating two or more sets of data. The categories of different kinds of data are listed along the horizontal or x-axis, whereas...

01:49Hardy-Weinberg Principle
71.8K
Diploid organisms have two alleles of each gene, one from each parent, in their somatic cells. Therefore, each individual contributes two alleles to the gene pool of the population. The gene pool of a population is the sum of every allele of all genes within that population and has some degree of variation. Genetic variation is typically expressed as a relative frequency, which is the percentage of the total population that has a given allele, genotype or phenotype.
