Generational growing pains as resistance to feminine gendering of organization? An archival analysis of human resource management discourses

Guided by a feminist communicology of organization framework, we examine generational growing pains by analyzing discourses appearing in HR Magazine at three different points in time, which approximately mark the midpoint of Baby Boomers’, Gen Xers’, and Millennials’ initial entry into the workplace. We reconstruct historically situated gendered discourses that encapsulate key concerns expressed by human resource management professionals as they dealt with younger generations of workers: Personnel Man as Father Knows Best (1970), Human Resource Specialist as Loyalty Builder (1990), and Talent Manager as Nurturer (2010). We propose that frustrations expressed by older generations about Millennials may not be because Millennials are necessarily more demanding than their predecessors, but instead because their expectations reflect and effect gendered changes of organizing

First report and damage description of Calodesma collaris (Drury, 1782) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) caterpillars on Aechmea winkleri Reitz, 1975 (Bromeliaceae).

We report for the first time the occurrence of Calodesma collaris (Drury, 1782) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) caterpillars on Aechmea winkleri Reitz, 1975 (Bromeliaceae) and describe the damage it causes on these plants. The consumption of leaf tissue, accumulation of excrements and inhibition of inflorescence emission caused by larvae of C. collariscan result in plants of A. winkleri that are not suitable for ornamental or landscaping purposes

A critical evaluation of spectrum-based fault localization techniques on a large-scale software system

In the past, spectrum-based fault localization (SBFL) techniques have been developed to pinpoint a fault location in a program given a set of failing and successful test executions. Most of the algorithms use similarity coefficients and have only been evaluated on established but small benchmark programs from the Software-artifact Infrastructure Repository (SIR). In this paper, we evaluate the feasibility of applying 33 state-of-the-art SBFL techniques to a large real-world project, namely ASPECTJ. From an initial set of 350 faulty version from the iBugs repository of ASPECTJ we manually classified 88 bugs where SBFL techniques are suitable. Notably, only 11 bugs of these bugs can be found after examining the 1000 most suspicious lines and on average 250 source code files need to be inspected per bug. Based on these results, the study showcases the limitations of current SBFL techniques on a larger program

Leguminosae na área de conservação in situ do butiazal da Fazenda São Miguel, Tapes, Rio Grande do Sul.

O presente trabalho é um inventário das Leguminosae do butiazal da Fazenda São Miguel, Tapes, Rio Grande do Sul. Foram registradas duas subfamílias (Caesalpinioideae e Papilionoideae), nove tribos, 19 gêneros e 32 espécies. As tribos mais representativas são Phaseoleae (7 spp.), Dalbergieae (6 spp.) e Desmodieae (5 spp.) e os gêneros são Desmodium (5 spp.), Mimosa (3 spp.) e Chamaecrista (3 spp.). Verificou-se o estado de conservação das espécies e apenas seis espécies foram avaliadas quanto ao nível de ameaça de extinção, estando classificadas como pouco preocupante, o que demonstra a deficiência de dados sobre níveis de ameaça das demais espécies da família. Quanto à distribuição geográfica no Brasil, Crotalaria tweediana e Mimosa sanguinolenta ocorrem apenas nos três estados da Região Sul do Brasil. Lupinus lanatus e Rhynchosia lineata ocorrem exclusivamente nos estados de Santa Catarina e Rio Grande do Sul, enquanto Clitoria nana, Lupinus albescens e Macroptilium psammodes somente no Rio Grande do Sul
