La invención del trabajo sexual

Carol Leigh narra a través del relato autobiográfico su proceso de politización feminista y recoge de manera sucinta algunos de los debates sobre femineidad, sexualidad y pornografía que existían en el movimiento feminista de los años setenta. La autora cuenta las contrariedades que experimenta en su incorporación en Estados Unidos a un feminismo hegemónico que habla, en este caso, de la prostitución sin la experiencia de las propias prostitutas y que no las reconoce como sujetos políticos con capacidad de agencia. La propia Leigh, a partir de su introducción en el mundo de la prostitución, recoge las complejidades de esta actividad, la lucha de las prostitutas por mejorar sus condiciones de trabajo y los procesos de organización política mediante el establecimiento de alianzas con otros colectivos. En este contexto de disputas dentro del feminismo es donde la autora propone acuñar el término “trabajo sexual” con el objetivo de separarlo de las connotaciones negativas asociadas a la prostitución y de reivindicar el surgimiento de este movimiento político

Attachment working models and false recall: a category structure approach

Two studies were conducted to test the central hypothesis that internal working models of attachment will influence false memory in a model-congruent pattern. Participants in both studies were first primed with a relationship-specific attachment model by writing about a person with whom they shared a secure, anxious, or avoidant relationship. Next participants viewed attachment-relevant and non-relevant stimuli presented in either a word list or vignette format. Afterwards they completed a brief distracter task followed by a category cued-recall memory test. Study 2 participants also reported confidence ratings for each word recalled. Results from both studies demonstrated interactive effects between chronic attachment and relationshipspecific models in predicting false memories. Effects were found primarily for attachment stimuli relevant to social isolation and hate/rejection themes. Both model-congruent and modelincongruent effects emerged depending on stimuli set and chronic attachment style. Notably, no attachment-based differences in false memories occurred for non-attachment stimuli. Finally, a consistent association was found between confidence in false recall and congruence between participants' chronic and relationship-specific working models; specifically, greater confidence was associated with congruency, and lower confidence with incongruence. This pattern occurred for both attachment-relevant and non-relevant stimuli. The results of this research provide further support for a key proposition of attachment theory; namely, that relationship working models influence how individuals process relationship-relevant information in general. In addition, this research contributes new knowledge regarding the generation of false memories in particular

Local Food System and Challenges and Successes of Modern

This panel will explore the explosion in craft brewing in the Carolinas from a gendered perspective, specifically from the perspective of local women brewers, highlighting Rachael Hudson, owner of Pilot Brewing, Carol Waggoner, owner of Bold Missy, and Suzie Ford, owner of NoDa brewery. I will serve as panel moderator and ask each woman questions about the business, marketing, and production aspects of brewing as women in the field. We have a brief video we will show to open the panel: https://magazines.aa.com/en/features/2018/01/these-women-are-reshaping-charlotteaos-craft-beer-scen

Do physicians examine patients in contact isolation less frequently? A brief report

Background: Patients who are hospitalized and infected with multi drug-resistant bacteria are usually placed in contact isolation, which requires hospital personnel to gown and glove before patient examination. Contact isolation with active culture surveillance appears beneficial in preventing the spread of drug-resistant infections; however, contact isolation may impede the ability to examine patients as a result of the additional effort required to gown and glove. We assessed whether patients who are hospitalized and placed under contact precautions are examined less often by second- and third-year medical residents (ie, senior medical residents), and attending physicians during morning rounds. Method: We conducted a prospective cohort study on the inpatient medical services at 2 university-affiliated medical centers. We directly observed senior medical residents and attending physicians during morning rounds, and recorded the contact precaution status of the patient and whether they were examined by either physician. Results: Of a total of 139 patients, 31 (22%) were in contact isolation. Senior medical residents examined 26 of 31 patients (84%) in contact isolation versus 94 of 108 patients (87%) not in contact isolation (relative risk, 0.96; 95% confidence interval, 0.81-1.14; P = .58). In comparison, attending physicians examined 11 of 31 patients (35%) in contact isolation versus 79 of 108 patients (73%) not in contact isolation (relative risk, 0.49; 95% confidence interval, 0.30-0.79; P \u3c .001). Discussion: Attending physicians are about half as likely to examine patients in contact isolation compared with patients not in contact isolation
