Star Formation History since z = 1.5 as Inferred from Rest-Frame Ultaviolet Luminosity Density Evolution

We investigate the evolution of the universal rest-frame ultraviolet luminosity density from z = 1.5 to the present. We analyze an extensive sample of multicolor data (U', B, V = 24.5) plus spectroscopic redshifts from the Hawaii Survey Fields and the Hubble Deep Field. Our multicolor data allow us to select our sample in the rest-frame ultraviolet (2500 angstrom) over the entire redshift range to z = 1.5. We conclude that the evolution in the luminosity density is a function of the form (1+z)^{1.7\pm1.0} for a flat lambda cosmology and (1+z)^{2.4\pm1.0} for an Einstein-de Sitter cosmology.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figs, 5 tables, submitted to A

Diabetes in Canadian Women

Health Issue: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic health condition affecting 4.8 % of Canadian adults ≥ 20 years of age. The prevalence increases with age. According to the National Diabetes Surveillance System (NDSS) (1998–1999), approximately 12 % of Canadians aged 60–74 years are affected. One-third of cases may remain undiagnosed. The projected increase in DM prevalence largely results from rising rates of obesity and inactivity. Key Findings: DM in Canada appears to be more common among men than women. However, among Aboriginal Canadians, two-thirds of affected individuals are women. Although obesity is more prevalent among men than women (35 % vs. 27%), the DM risk associated with obesity is greater for women. Socio-economic status is inversely related to DM prevalence but the incomerelated disparities are greater among women. Polycystic ovarian syndrome affects 5–7 % of reproductive-aged women and doubles their risk for DM. Women with gestational diabetes frequently develop DM over the next 10 years. Data Gaps and Recommendations: Studies of at risk ethnic/racial groups and women with gestational diabetes are needed. Age and culturally sensitive programs need to be developed an

The International Code of Marketing of Breast-Milk Substitutes: Survey of Legislation and Other Measures Adopted (1981-1991)

Since the adoption of the International Code of Marketing of Breast·milk Substitutes in 1981, Member States of the World Health Organization have responded in varying degree and manner in giving effect to it. WHO has prepared a comprehensive summary, organized on a country-by-country basis, of government action in this regard (document WHO /MCH/NVT /90.1). The present paper complements chis summary, and increases its usefulness, by focusing on the Code\u27s individual articles and describing how each has been given expression through national legislation or other measures. Their adoption is one aspect of the wider efforts Member States are making to address the health and nutritional problems of infants and young children, and the related aspects of the health and social status of women and families

Toward the Feminization of Collective Bargaining Law

Canadian collective bargaining law is flawed because it fails to address the concerns of a substantial segment of the work force and overlooks women as a rich source of insight into the dynamics of the bargaining environment. The author begins by exploring the problems inherent in the classical contractualist model, arguing that current collective bargaining law reflects these weaknesses and echoes a morality and ideology which are stereotypically masculine. By analyzing the legal and practical structures of collective bargaining, the author illustrates the ways in which the morality of the workplace is manifested differently between men and women. The author then examines the ideological difference between public and private work, discussing how this distinction situates women as subordinate to men and its effects on the unionized workplace. Moving to an analysis of dispute resolution, certification, unfair labour practices and bargaining unit determination, the final part of the article is devoted to suggestions for structural change in collective bargaining law. The author proposes ways in which feminist insight can be used to replace the current oppositional structure of collective bargaining with more cooperative mechanisms for resolving disputes

Richard Gardner: Scholar, Statesman, Columbian

I am honored to pay tribute to Richard Gardner, who was truly one of Columbia Law School\u27s greatest global citizens. He demonstrated so many of the qualities that make Columbia Law School unique, especially the influence that Columbia Law School has on the world. He was a brilliant statesman, international lawyer, and beloved professor. Over seven decades, he was a mentor to generations of students who are now leaders in law, foreign policy, and international affairs. Upon his retirement in 2012, the Law School hosted a two-day conference in his honor. Entitled The Challenges We Face, the conference featured panels on pressing issues for the international community, including trade, finance, human rights, and challenges to the transatlantic alliance. Dick was honored by addresses from Zbigniew Brzezinski, the National Security Adviser to President Jimmy Carter, and Paul Volker, former Federal Reserve Chairman. More than 100 notable alumni came to Morningside Heights to salute him

Exploring the complexity of being both a psychologist and mother: a psychosocial study

A research project submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MA Clinical Psychology in the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2017Psychodynamic psychotherapists through their vocational training, and especially through developmental and psychoanalytic theories, are exposed to intense discursive and theoretical psychological models of ideal motherhood and childhood development that they use to inform their therapeutic practice. How this knowledge impacts their mothering experience and practice has not been explored. This study examines how the identities of psychotherapist and mother inform, shape, enrich and conflict with one another, for a group of nine psychodynamic psychotherapist mothers who are based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Primarily, the findings of this study suggest that the identity shifts involved in becoming both a psychotherapist and a mother are a continuous process. Alongside the negotiation of the relational demands of an infant, psychotherapist mothers, in particular, experience transitions in their relationships to theory. The voice of theory, which was found to act as a third that is analytic and/or anti-analytic, was a very important theme that was found to influence their mothering experiences and identities. The experience appears to be one of constantly evolving re-integration. Overall, the challenge for psychotherapist mothers is to reflect on their relationships to theory as a psychotherapist, in order to acknowledge and explore those aspects that feel punitive and those that feel helpful.MC201

Bromostibine complexes of iron(II): hypervalency and reactivity

The halostibine complexes [CpFe(CO)2(SbMe2Br)][CF3SO3] and [CpFe(CO)2(SbMe2Br)][BF4] both contain significant interactions between the anion and the formally neutral Sb(III) ligand, which simultaneously displays Lewis acidic and Lewis basic properties. The unexpected secondary product [CpFe(CO)(Me2BrSb-?-Br-SbBrMe2)] is formed in the presence of excess ligand, the strongly associated Br– anion bridging the two Sb donors to form a four-membered FeSb2Br ring.<br/
