The phenomenon of apparently greater emphasis on human female physical attractiveness has spawned an array of explanatory
responses, but the great majority can be broadly categorized as either evolutionary or social constructivist in nature. Both
perspectives generate distinct and testable predictions. If, as Naomi Wolf (The beauty myth: How images of female beauty are used against women. New York: William Morrow, [originally published in 1991], 2002) and others have argued, greater emphasis on female attractiveness
is part of a predominantly Western “beauty myth,” then an analysis of a culturally diverse sample should reveal marked fluctuation
in gendered attractiveness emphasis: there should be significant numbers of cultures in which male and female attractiveness
are equally emphasized, and cultures in which male attractiveness receives more emphasis. On the other hand, an evolutionary
perspective suggests that disproportionate emphasis on female attractiveness will be a universal or near-universal phenomenon.
To test these hypotheses, we tallied references to male versus female attractiveness in 90 collections of traditional folktales
from 13 diverse cultural areas. The results are consistent with the evolutionary predictions and inconsistent with the constructivist
predictions. Across culture areas information on physical attractiveness was much more likely to be conveyed for female characters.
Together with other recent studies, these results suggest that the main elements of the beauty myth are not myths: there are
large areas of overlap in the attractiveness judgments of diverse populations, and cross-cultural emphasis on physical attractiveness
appears to fall principally upon women. 相似文献

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019–2020, Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews has published several Special Issues focused on the biology, pathogenesis and therapeutic options in the treatment of COVID-19 infection, including articles on the involvement of the chemokine system in the cytokine storm in COVID-19, intervention in the early stages of COVID-19 pneumonia, the therapeutic value of corticosteroid treatment, early clinical intervention with type 1 interferons, progress in vaccine development, and organ specific complications of COVID-19. By 2022, multiple highly efficacious vaccines are available and are being administered in countries around the world, therapeutic options have been clinically evaluated and approved, and SARS-CoV-2 has arguably become the most thoroughly studied virus in history. But, with progress has also come unanticipated problems – misinformation, anti-vaxxers, opposition to protective masks, and politically motivated interference disguised as knowledge. With this issue of CGFR, we continue to document the global coronavirus pandemic and provide an update on the emergence of viral variants, the global effort to administer vaccines and the impediments to progress posed by misinformation and anti-vaccine sentiment. 相似文献

The 2006 trial of Suman Sood put criminal abortion on the public agenda for the first time in 25 years in NSW. Response to
the case highlights tenacious myths about abortion law in Australia; namely that the common law “is an ass” that allows for
abortion only by way of a lack of application of the law. By briefly explaining the history of abortion in Australia, I argue
that the Sood case does not represent a general failure of the common law to allow abortion, nor does it support the popular myth that
abortion is “technically” illegal, or that doctors who perform abortions have historically been the target of the criminal
law in Australia. I show that contrary to myths promoted particularly around the 1998 Western Australian reforms, abortion
has long been lawful in Australia, and the common law has merit compared to other regulatory regimes. Hence, arguments for
alternative abortion regimes should not depend on myths which are shown to be unrepresentative of the political and legal
situation in Australia.

The γ-prolamins are important components of seed storage proteins in wheat and other Triticeae species. Here, the γ-prolamin genes from the diploid Triticeae species were systemically characterized. Most of the γ-prolamins (except 75 K γ-secalins) characterized were defined as γ-gliadin-like γ-prolamins, since they shared a same characteristic model structure with γ-gliadins. Over one third of these putatively functional γ-prolamin peptides contained different number of cysteine residues as compared to the eight residues present in γ-gliadins. Sequence polymorphism and linkage disequilibrium analyses showed the conservation of γ-prolamin genes in Triticeae species under evolutionary selection. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that these γ-prolamin genes can not be clearly separated according to their genomic origins, reflecting the conservation of γ-gliadin-like γ-prolamin genes after the divergence of Triticeae species. A screening of coeliac disease (CD) toxic epitopes shows that the γ-prolamins from some other genomes contain much fewer epitopes than those from the A, S (B) and D genomes of wheat. These findings contribute to better understanding of γ-prolamin family in Triticeae and build a ground for breeding less CD-toxic wheat cultivars. 相似文献
