The authors, for example, use the phrase “m/m /each'); In addition, professions and affiliations that do not contain prejudices and stereotypes regarding gender (Eng. 'chairperson' instead of 'chairman', 'flight attendant' instead of 'stewardess') should use expressions such as "scientist" instead of "scientist".
