Abstract:

Resumen:El culto a la virgen de Guadalupe tiene su origen remoto en un santuario prehispánico situado en el cerro del Tepeyac, al norte de la ciudad de México, dedicado a la diosa Tonantzin. Hacia 1525, el santuario fue convertido por los frailes evangelizadores en una ermita católica, dedicada a la virgen María. Para dar culto a ésta última, los frailes colocaron en ella una pintura de la Virgen como Inmaculada Concepción, realizada por un indio de nombre Marcos, y a la que pronto se atribuyeron poderes milagrosos. Durante las primeras décadas la ermita fue visitada principalmente por indígen

Abstract1. Mixed sex groups of D. melanogaster were observed in large observation chambers in which food was available. The ratio of mated to virgin females was 3:1. 2. Fertilised females spent more time feeding than virgins and virgin flies spent more time in locomotor activity. 3. Most courtship behaviour took place on the food and consequently mated females received more courtships. 4. To test whether fertilised females were excluding virgin females from the food, groups of females without males were observed. The groups were composed either of virgin, or of a mixture of virgin and mated fe

Abstract:

Background Studies on virgins remain scarce. This study explores the characteristics of virgin young adults, the reasons for remaining virgin, and its potential social and health implications. Methods: Data were drawn from the 2017 Swiss study on sexual health and behaviour among young adults. A total of 5175 participants (mean age 26 years ± 0.01) were divided into virgins and non-virgins. Virginity was defined as never having had a sexual partner, defined as a person with whom the participant has had sexual contact with or without penetration. Results: A total of 275 (5.3% (95% CI: 4.7–6.0),

Abstract:

Female sagebrush crickets, Cyphoderris strepitans, feed on the male's hind wings during copulation. Because removal of hind wing material during mating may alter male acoustic signal characteristics and account for a virgin male mating advantage (Morris et al. 1989; Snedden, in press) we recorded virgin and mated males in the field, and virgins before and after surgical excision of a portion of the hind wings. We found no significant differences in signal spectral characteristics or pulse rate between virgin and mated males following hindÂwing excision. However, the signal amplitude of labora

Abstract:

Earlier work showed that the number of eggs produced by a virgin female is smaller than that produced by a mated female. The current paper shows that this results not from a difference in rates of egg production, but from the operation of the same linear rate for different times. Denervating the corpus allatum in virgin females extends the time over which the same rate of egg production operates, thus indicating that the inhibition of egg production in virgin females results from a nervous inhibition of the corpus allatum. The initial rate of emptying of the crop is also approximately linear i

Endogenous opioid regulation of neurohypophysial and hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis hormone secretion in response to forced swimming (90 s in deep water at 19 degrees C) was investigated in virgin and 21-day-pregnant rats. There was no difference in basal plasma oxytocin concentrations between pregnant and virgin rats, but the opioid antagonist, naloxone, increased basal oxytocin secretion in the pregnant rats. Forced swimming increased oxytocin secretion similarly in pregnant and virgin rats, and this response was enhanced by naloxone. In pregnant rats naloxone had a greater effect

Abstract:

The present paper is focused on the problem of consecrated virginity. A consecrated virgin is a sign of Church’s love for Christ, what situates the consecrated virgin in the community of the Church essentially as a prophetic person and a kind of example for other faithful. Her virginity, which is her characteristic feature, is for her both a gift from God and a task to realize within her vocation. Consecration of a virgin means the establishment of a spousal covenant between her and Christ. Therefore the first paragraph focuses the attention on Christ as a Bridegroom both of the Church and of

Abstract:

Laboratory exercises using Drosophila crosses are an effective pedagogical method to complement traditional lecture and textbook presentations of genetics. Undergraduate thesis research is another common setting for using Drosophila. A significant barrier to using Drosophila for undergraduate teaching or research is the time and skill required to accurately collect virgins for use in controlled crosses. Erroneously collecting males or nonvirgin females contaminates crosses with unintended genotypes and confounds the results. Collecting adequate numbers of virgins requires large amounts of time

AbstractMaternal care, including by non-biological parents, is important for offspring survival1–8. Oxytocin1,2,9–15, which is released by the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), is a critical maternal hormone. In mice, oxytocin enables neuroplasticity in the auditory cortex for maternal recognition of pup distress15. However, it is unclear how initial parental experience promotes hypothalamic signalling and cortical plasticity for reliable maternal care. Here we continuously monitored the behaviour of female virgin mice co-housed with an experienced mother and litter. This documentary

Abstract:

Few studies have measured multivariate sexual selection acting on the sexual signals of male insects in wild populations. Sagebrush crickets are ideally suited to such investigations because mating imposes an unambiguous phenotypic marker on males arising from nuptial feeding by females. However, an important assumption underlying such studies is that males collected as virgins and those collected as non-virgins had equal opportunities to mate, an assumption that may be violated if males eclose (i.e. emerge following pupation) at different times of the breeding season.

Humankind has been preoccupied with virginity for thousands of years. The notion of virginity is highly valued in many cultures since it is usually associated with sacredness and purity. However, society’s obsession with virginity has resulted in the emergence of several virgin or virginity-related superstitions many of which trigger severe violence against young females presumed to be virgins. Surprisingly, the concept and historical developments of virginity- related superstitions, and the extent to which such beliefs impact violence against young females in African communities, have not bee

We previously demonstrated that kidney and urine levels of angiotensin-(1-7) [ANG-(1-7)] were increased in pregnancy. To explore the role of ANG-(1-7) on fluid and electrolyte homeostasis during pregnancy, we evaluated the effect of the ANG-(1-7) antagonist d-alanine-[ANG-(1-7)] (A-779) on kidney function. Virgin and pregnant rats received infusion of vehicle or A-779 (48 μg·kg−1·h−1) for 8 days by osmotic minipumps. Metabolic studies were done on treatment day 7–8. Virgin and pregnant rats at day 15 and 19 were killed, and blood and kidneys were collected. Kidneys were prepared for Western bl

<em>The people who live in the countryside are very religious. They have deep faith and determination in God. Among the deities worshipped by these people, Seven Virgins (Kannitheivam) worship is very special. The practice mentions the elements involved in this unique form of virgin worship. Folks worship a deity of their own. One of the most important of these religious traditions is the worship of seven virgin women. This article examines the male deities, the female deities, and the beliefs people have about them.</em><em> The people of Tamil country have been worshipping their deities from

Abstract:

We assessed KCl- and phenylephrine (PE)-induced vasoconstriction as well as acetylcholine (ACh)-induced endothelium-dependent vasodilation in small, isometrically mounted mesenteric arteries from virgin and gravid rats, studied in the absence and presence of NG-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA). Neither maximal vasoconstriction nor PE potency differed significantly between vessels from virgin and pregnant rats, either in the absence or presence of L-NNA. L-NNA resulted in similar twofold leftward shifts in the PE dose-response curves for both groups. ACh-induced relaxation was potentiated in vessels fr

Abstract:

The objective of this work is to study the establishment and diffusion of one of the most famous Marian worships, the one of the Virgin of Candelaria, in one of the sanctuaries of greater notoriety in Hispano–America: Copacabana. This worship bloomed thanks to an old association of the Virgin Mary with the metaphor of the light which could embody a large variaty of meanings: It helped to escape the dangers of the sea, to have abundant harvests, to leave the galleries of a mine and to turn the Indians to Christianity. In Copacabana, the cult to the Virgin facilitated the implantation of evangel

Abstract:

A comparison between vitellogenesis in virgin and mated females of Tenebrio molitor showed significant differences at each investigated developmental stage. Yolk protein deposition in oocytes, measured as an increase in their size parameters (length, width, and volume), proceeded much faster and was more efficient in mated females as compared to virgins. In fertilized females the gonadotropic cycle showed a cyclicity with an eight-day period while virgin females finish their vitellogenic stage after the first cycle. These differences were reflected in changes in the rate of protein synthesis i

Abstract This article presents criticism on Tamil-language films starring the iconic Indian actor Rajinikanth, focusing on the development of female characters as battlegrounds between tradition and modernity. Within the framework of Rajinikanth films as nationalistic projects in which the gendered portrayals of characters are tied up with notions of patriotism and duty, female characters in Rajinikanth films almost always conform to four stereotypes: the goddess mother, the traditional good woman, the modern virgin, and the angry modern feminist.
