"Making a Difference": Residential Learning Community Students' Trajectories Toward Promoting Social Justice.

Preparing students to create a more just society is an increasingly important challenge in higher education. The beginning of students’ undergraduate years is often a pivotal time of transition because they may encounter a vast array of curricular, co-curricular, and informal diversity experiences for the first time. This qualitative study utilizes a multiple case study approach to explore how one residential learning community, the Michigan Community Scholars Program (MCSP), provides intentional diversity experiences both within and outside of the classroom to first-year students. Students’ narratives indicated that their experiences in MCSP fostered a heightened sense of responsibility to “know” about their positionality in society, “care” about how societal inequities affect those from different social identity backgrounds, and “act” to create social change in their future lives and careers. Five trajectories were identified based on students’ top reason for joining MCSP: the Location Scouts, Service Enthusiasts, Personal Connectors, Community Seekers, and Aspiring Change Agents. Students’ reasons for becoming a member of the learning community, along with their social identity backgrounds, diversity of pre-college communities, and prior social justice knowledge, influenced their engagement in MCSP diversity experiences. Students’ involvement in dialogic conversations within their classes, co-curricular activities, and residential hall were particularly influential in their acquisition of social justice outcomes. Three sets of social justice outcomes emerged in the data: inward, outward, and forward. Students’ inward growth included acquiring awareness of societal inequities and demonstrating consciousness of their positionality (i.e., their privilege and power in society), along with educating themselves about social justice issues and reducing their own biases. Themes related their outward growth encompassed displaying cognitive (i.e., perspective-taking and intercultural openness), affective (i.e., empathetic understanding and “humanizing”), and behavioral empathy (i.e., gently engaging across differences), as well as educating others about social justice issues and “speaking out” against injustice. Their forward growth involved creating “small-scale” change in their everyday lives, and incorporating social justice into their future careers. Studying an RLC of this nature provides valuable insights about how postsecondary institutions can intentionally prepare students to become advocates and agents for social change from the moment that they arrive on campus.

Employment equity and elimination of discrimination: Where are women with disabilities in the hierarchy?

To remedy the structural and systemic socio-economic effects of apartheid, colonialism and patriarchy, South Africa’s constitutional legal framework provides creative remedies through anti-discrimination and employment equity (affirmative action) legislation to promote equal participation of women with disabilities in the workplace. In an Equality Court hearing, Singh, an applicant for a position of magistrate, argued that she was excluded from being short-listed ostensibly because as a partially blind woman, she would be unable to meet the requirement of a valid driver’s licence. Her disability status was not considered in applying the short-listing criteria. Singh successfully challenged the discrimination inherent in the short-listing process in Singh v Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development and Others (SA National Council for the Blind and another as Amici Curiae). The Equality Court ordered the Magistrate’s Commission to revise its criteria for short-listing in the appointment of magistrates to reflect the necessary racial and gender composition in appointments in the judiciary as well as to have regard for the need to promote persons with disabilities in its short-listing and appointment processes. The article will consider the relationship between race, gender and disability in employment equity (with emphasis on gender and disability) against the backdrop of the Singh case. It outlines the monitoring roles of two constitutional watchdogs: the Commission for Gender Equality (CGE), and the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC); and the enforcement role of the Commission for Employment Equity (CEE), in promoting equal workplace participation. The analysis of the Singh case and the greater legislative scheme can be used for employees and employers generally in understanding not just the importance and need for advancement of persons with disabilities in the workplace, but also in how this category of employees is considered in the hierarchy of other transformational grounds, such as race and gender and why it is not subordinate to those statuses. The article argues for a fuller notion of diversity, than mere representivity in employment equity, which would necessitate transforming current notions of “able-bodied and able-minded” norms within workplace processes of recruitment, appointment and retention practices. It recommends accountability fostered by the monitoring of state compliance by the Chapter Nine institutions, as well as strategic litigation to challenge state and non-state inaction or omissions.

Observing nucleon decay in lead perchlorate

Lead perchlorate, part of the OMNIS supernova neutrino detector, contains two nuclei 208Pb and 35Cl that might be used to study nucleon decay. Both would produce signatures that will make them especially useful for studying less-well-studied neutron decay modes, e.g., those in which only neutrinos are emitted.

Acoustic characteristics of glottalized obstruents in Gitksan

Glottalized obstruents are a defining feature in the phonetic inventory of languages of the Pacific Northwest. Gitksan (Tsimshianic), an endangered and understudied language in this region, is no exception. However, these segments, which have typically been labelled as ejectives by fieldworkers, have also been variously described as implosives or even as voiced ejectives. Evidently, the ability of fieldworkers to perceive these segments has proven difficult, even by those who have worked on the language for many years. This project seeks to describe some of the salient acoustic cues associated with glottalized obstruents in Gitksan by comparing glottalized and plain stops. While previous work has examined these stops only in word-initial position, the present study compares stops across positions within the word and across stressed and non-stressed environments. Speech tokens were collected from three fluent native speakers of three dialects of Gitksan in order to describe the prominent acoustic cues which characterize glottalized obstruents in Gitksan.

Cryptic taxa should have names: Reflections in the glasswort genus <i>Salicornia</i> (Amaranthaceae)

Abstract Incongruence between morphology and molecules, i.e., genetic differentiation of lineages that are morphologically identical, or morphological variation among accessions sharing identical genotypes, has been increasingly reported and is most problematic in taxa with reduced morphologies. We here review and discuss these issues for plant taxonomy, taking Salicornia , one of the taxonomically most challenging genera of angiosperms, as a model. We argue in favour of a taxonomic system that remains as much 'workable' as possible for traditional morphology‐based taxonomy, but avoids merging genetically widely divergent lineages despite their morphological similarity. Our revised classification of Eurasian taxa includes four species, ten subspecies and one nothosubspecies. The molecular and morphological characteristics as well as the geographical distribution of each taxon are described. A key to the Eurasian taxa based on morphology and geographical distribution is presented.

Behaviour of reinforced concrete beam with silica fume under dynamic loading / Rudy Tawie Joseph Sipi

Concrete mixes design to produce 42 N/mm² - 84 M/mm² in compressive strength are easily obtainable today with silica fume replacing a portion of the cement content. Such concretes with a design compressive strength exceeds 42 M/mm² may be defined as “High Strength Concrete”. For several reasons, there has recently been a marked interest in the determination of the dynamic characteristics of structures and their response under dynamic loads and effect. Subjected to dynamic loading under sinusoidal wave pattern, a study has been carried out to make an experimental investigation on reinforced concrete beam (Grade 60 N/mm2) incorporating silica fume replacing cement by weight of w/c ratio of 0.30, with respect to the serviceability and ultimate limits. A total of three specimens each with different silica fume proportion (8%, 12% and 16%) by weight of cement were cast and tested under the dynamic load. Parameters investigated include deflections, crack widths and crack lengths.

A trial in the life of the environmental justice movement: USA v. Citgo

Trials provide social movements with a public arena that can advance social movement goals. The adversarial structure of a trial gives social movements an opportunity to articulate their grievances and to subject their opponents to cross-examination. The drama associated with trials often attracts media attention, thus creating a broad audience for the movement's message. Moreover, trials can sometimes provide opportunities for collective experiences, bringing together activists, lawyers, experts, and other actors whose combined efforts can both strengthen the movement and promote its goals.

Novel Twin Poly-Si Thin-Film Transistors EEPROM With Trigate Nanowire Structure

This letter demonstrates a novel twin poly-Si thin-film transistor (TFT) electrical erasable PROM (EEPROM) that utilizes trigate nanowires (NWs). The NW TFT EEPROM has superior gate control because its trigate structure provides a higher memory window and program/erase (P/E) efficiency over those of a single-channel one. For endurance and retention, the memory window can be maintained at 1.5 V after 103 P/E cycles and 25% charge loss for ten years of NW twin poly-Si EEPROM. This investigation explores its feasibility in future active matrix liquid crystal display system-on-panel and 3-D stacked Flash memory applications.

International human resource management: diversity, issues and challenges

Purpose The purpose of this article is to introduce the special issue which considers the impact that the global world has had on the profession of HRM. Design/methodology/approach In June 2009, the International Human Resource Management Conference was held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. Various IHRM papers were presented, and of these, many were subjected to a second round of reviews for this special issue. This special issue is made up of the best papers. Findings The article highlights that as IHRM has emerged as an academic discipline, a variety of debates and issues have come to dominate the literature. For practitioners, a long‐standing issue has been the delineation of specific practices to be used in the management of people within international organizations. Over time, practices have emerged, and texts today can readily be found that represent such practices for those working in MNCs as HR managers. Originality/value A number of concerns about HRM are raised in this issue, most of which are addressed by the papers chosen.

“The Inner Frontier”. Borders, Narratives, and Cultural Intimacy in Topolò/Topolove

On 21 December 2007 one of the most contentious borders in Europe, the one between Slovenia and northeastern Italy, finally opened. This article presents narratives from the village of Topolò, near the Italian–Slovenian border, by three generations that lived with the border in different ways. Some people developed strategies to bypass it, whereas others built up a contrasting ethnicity and an “inner frontier” that emotionally shapes their lives. *** 21. decembra 2007 je bila naposled odprta ena spornejših mej v Evropi, tista med Slovenijo in severovzhodno Italijo. Članek predstavlja pripovedi treh rodov iz vasi Topolò/ Topolove ob italijansko-slovenski meji. Ti so z mejo živeli na različne načine: nekateri so razvili strategije, da so jo obšli, drugi so si ustvarili nasprotno etničnost in “notranjo mejo”, ki čustveno oblikuje njihova življenja.

Experimentally induced chronic pancreatitis in dogs by ligation of pancreatic lobes.

We have noticed chronic changes in the ligated lobes of 5 of our experimental animals, but in the middle lobe no changes occurred. These morphological changes were proved by histological examination. These changes were of different severity according to the duration of pancreatic outflow disturbance, the longer the duration of the disturbance, the more severe were the changes, the duration of the disturbance, the more severe were the changes. The main cause of chronic pancreatitis, and the other causes such as alcohol, biliary tract diseases, hyperparathyroidism, hyperlipaemia, etc., are only secondary to that. And only if we eliminate the cause of disturbance of pancreatic outflow can we prevent the progress of the disease and improve the function of the gland.

Swimming with Cloelia, Running with Atalanta, Playing Ball with Nausicaa: The use of Classical Women in Fascist Italy 1930s’ Controversies about Women’s Sport

Women’s sports were quite controversial in 1930s Fascist Italy. On the one hand, the regime promoted them: healthier girls would in time become healthier mothers, who would one day give birth to Mussolini’s future soldiers. Yet a large part of Italian society, led by conservative Catholics, protested the most innovative activities, such as public athletics and swimming competitions. In 1933, a big controversy broke out between Il Littoriale (sports newspaper, mouthpiece of Fascist sports policy) and L’Osservatore Romano (Vatican newspaper) about “immoral” women’s sportswear. An interesting feature of this controversy was the use, by both Fascists and conservatives, of Classical (both mythological and historical) women, such as Cloelia, the Amazons, Atalanta, and Nausicaa, cited as archetypical figures of sportswomen. Nausicaa seemed to be the most frequently used and diverse archetype, because she was better suited (more than Cloelia) to the Fascist vision of the future Italian donna nuova “new woman”: she was young, she had a healthy body, she was ready to embrace her “natural” fate (being a mother). The corpus used for the analysis is composed by journalistic texts (newspapers and magazines) and a sports novel, in order to test the spread of these archetypes in 1930s mass media: in order to fix this new image of the sportswoman, the Fascist regime had to find some well-known female figures that could be easily admired by the Italian people.

Differential Analysis of Microbial Community grown with different DO levels Using R Package

The microbial communities play a salient role in natural ecosystems and have a greater impact on animal and human health. To understand this entangled system and unlock its potential benefit there is need to study these community structures and function both analytically and statistically. This article briefs about the microbial community analysis R packages which are developed in R programming language, to assist researchers for creating abundance and functional profile from raw data and performs analyses specific to their needs. The analysis of biological data and information related to microbial community are known together to be the central issues within the space. Therefore several R packages are planned to perform a collective and complete interpretation of data using R modules in this area. In this paper we tend to present a bio-informative R package which can analyze the abundance of the species and determine the one way variance which is used as fdANOVA R package. The idea provides the straightforward categorical grouping, is custom-made to check the status of evolving microbes in a community and is appropriate and reliable as well.

Evaluation on Cybersecurity and Privacy Risks of Healthcare Point-of-Care Systems

Point-of-care systems are extensively used in healthcare to react quickly and prevent critical health issues. As a result, POC systems frequently process large amounts of personal health information. Therefore, their cybersecurity and privacy requirements are crucial, while evaluating those requirements is an important task. In this work, we aim at designing and reporting the execution of a use case approach to evaluate cybersecurity and privacy requirements and specifications of POC systems. Accordingly, we detail a use case approach as part of a real healthcare IT infrastructure that includes a Health Information System, integration engines, application servers, web services, medical devices, smartphone apps, medical modalities (all data simulated) and interaction with participants. Overall, following the use case approach, the results obtained indicate that all the functional KPI, non-functional KPI and Societal &amp; Roadmap obtained a positive evaluation. Furthermore, the usability experience from the participants was positive and the use case description and the validation step-by-step plan were highly compatible with the different daily experience of the participants.
