The Impact of Gender Language Socialization On Women in Leadership

Gender language socialization is pervasive. Men and women are affected by gender language socialization. Women are being kept from leadership positions through gender language barriers. Both would benefit from having leadership roles more equally shared, honoring diverse styles of leadership, and acknowledging differences. My research design is evaluative. My study is qualitative. My criteria for determining causation is whether the dependent variables (women in leadership) are affected by the independent variable (gender role socialization). For this study, the results of the dependent variable are skewed by each culture studied. Thus, future studies need to know each cross-culture\u27s perspective, but in relationship to relative samples from each cross-culture. The research concepts include stereotyping of sex roles, language styles and how women\u27s work is viewed by society, how women\u27s sex roles are stereotyped in the media, the ways in which men and women express themselves, and how women,s work is viewed by society

Development of a SimpleProbe real-Time PCR Assay for rapid detection and identification of the US novel urethrotropic clade of Neisseria meningitidis ST-11 (US_NmUC)

Urethritis, or inflammation of the urethra, is one of the most common reasons men seek clinical care. Sexually transmitted pathogens including Neisseria gonorrhoeae are responsible for over half of the symptomatic urethritis cases in U.S. men. Recently, clinics in Indianapolis, Columbus, Atlanta, and other U.S. cities began to note increasing numbers of men presenting with urethritis and Gram-negative intracellular diplococci in their urethral smears who test negative for N. gonorrhoeae. Many of these discordant cases, which have periodically reached highs of more than 25% of presumed gonococcal cases in some sexually transmitted infection clinics in the U.S. Midwest, are infected with strains in a novel urethrotropic clade of Neisseria meningitidis ST-11 (US_NmUC). However, no cultivation-independent tests are available for the US_NmUC strains, and prior studies relied on microbial culture and genome sequencing to identify them. Here, we describe a PCR test that can identify the US_NmUC strains and distinguish them from commensal and invasive N. meningitidis strains as well as N. gonorrhoeae. Our SimpleProbe®-based real-time PCR assay targets a conserved nucleotide substitution in a horizontally acquired region of US_NmUC strain genomes. We applied the assay to 241 urine specimens whose microbial compositions had previously been determined by deep shotgun metagenomic sequencing. The assay detected the single US_NmUC positive case in this cohort, with no false positives. Overall, our simple and readily adaptable assay could facilitate investigation of the pathogenesis and epidemiology of the US_NmUC clade

Helping Our Students to Help Us

The risk posed to an institution by an increasing loan default rate should not be underestimated. This interactive session will look at how different institutions have approached the topic of financial literacy, and how they have tackled the problem of student loan debt. This session will include activities to help attendees buy into the concept of financial literacy and will highlight the different financial choices that students, and all of us, encounter daily. Finally, to assist in the creation/modification of a financial wellness program, a link to a free financial literacy iBook will also be provided to attendees

The Admission Conundrum: Working Closely with Admissions to Resolve Accounts

Through collaborating closely with the admissions office to develop a sound financial plan for incoming students, one institution’s student financial services office helped to recruit record numbers of students for the 2021–22 school year. Through strategic communications and personalized service, accounts were resolved faster, aid was processed quicker, and the traditional stress and rush of fall orientation evaporated into just another workday. Discover how investing in time early in the process can bring about a transformation in fortunes

Non-relativistic limit of the Mielke-Baekler gravity theory

In this paper, we present the most general non-relativistic Chern-Simons gravity model in three spacetime dimensions. We first study the non-relativistic limit of the Mielke-Baekler gravity through a contraction process. The resulting non-relativistic theory contains a source for the spatial component of the torsion and the curvature measured in terms of two parameters, denoted by $p$ and $q$. We then extend our results by defining a Newtonian version of the Mielke-Baekler gravity theory, based on a Newtonian like algebra which is obtained from the non-relativistic limit of an enhanced and enlarged relativistic algebra. Remarkably, in both cases, different known non-relativistic and Newtonian gravity theories can be derived by fixing the $\left(p,q\right)$ parameters. In particular, torsionless models are recovered for $q=0$.Comment: 20 page

Tree constructions of free continuous algebras

AbstractContinuous algebras are algebras endowed with a partial order which is complete with respect to specified joins and such that the operations preserve these specified joins. We prove the existence of free continuous algebras by actually giving a concrete description of them in terms of trees, for any type of algebras and any choice of the “specified” joins

Sol-Gel Films: Corrosion Protection Coating for Aluminium Alloy

Aluminum alloys used in aeronautical industry are susceptible to corrosion. The solution to this problem is base chromate materials, which have been heavily regulated and restricted. The development of alternatives begins in the 1970s and the 2000s, where some potential methodologies were established. The sol-gel process is one of these methods, in which thin oxide layers are deposited on the metal substrate. An important aspect is the fact of possible combinations among types of oxides and the incorporation of an organic compound to improve the performance of the films; moreover, this allows the addition of inhibitors and nanomaterials, making this method an interesting and versatile way to obtain a coating. In this chapter, we will describe the importance of the use of coating synthesized via sol-gel in the corrosion protection of metal surfaces. The advantages and disadvantages of using modified sol-gel polymer films and hybrid system coatings will also be discussed, as well as the methodologies for the chemical characterization and the feasibility of evaluating the mechanical properties of the coatings
