Even playing field? Examining challenges female sportswriters face

The purpose of the study was to examine what obstacles female sports writers face. Because sports writing has been and still remains a male-dominated field, there have been documented incidents in the past that have made the job more difficult for females than males. This study sought to see if there those obstacles remain. With the rising popularity of sports and the increase of females entering the sports writing field, it is important to research, among other things, whether female sports journalists believe they are seen as equals by their male counterparts; whether they are believe their sources take them seriously and what other difficulties they face when doing their job compared to male counterparts

Disseny del sistema de frenat d'un prototip de fòrmula SAE

L’objectiu d’aquest projecte és realitzar l’adaptació d’un sistema de fre escollit a un prototip tipus monoplaça, realitzant-hi els modificacions necessàries per a l’ obtenció de les prestacions òptimes per tal de superar les proves realitzades a la competició universitària Formula Student. Per tal d’aconseguir el nostre objectiu hem hagut d’endinsar-nos en el mon de la competició FSAE i contactar amb diversos equips i proveïdors. Una vegada informats hem decidit enfocar el projecte cap a la tria d’un sistema complet de frenat a partir d’uns discs de fre determinats. El nostre objectiu principal ha sigut escollir principalment entre dos discs de frens adequats a la competició i al nostre vehicle

Analysis and evaluation of Wi-Fi indoor positioning systems using smartphones

This paper attempts to analyze the main algorithms used in Machine Learning applied to the indoor location. New technologies are facing new challenges. Satellite positioning has become a typical application of mobile phones, but stops working satisfactorily in enclosed spaces. Currently there is a problem in positioning which is unresolved. This circumstance motivates the research of new methods. After the introduction, the first chapter presents current methods of positioning and the problem of positioning indoors. This part of the work shows globally the current state of the art. It mentions a taxonomy that helps classify the different types of indoor positioning and a selection of current commercial solutions. The second chapter is more focused on the algorithms that will be analyzed. It explains how the most widely used of Machine Learning algorithms work. The aim of this section is to present mathematical algorithms theoretically. These algorithms were not designed for indoor location but can be used for countless solutions. In the third chapter, we learn gives tools work: Weka and Python. the results obtained after thousands of executions with different algorithms and parameters showing main problems of Machine Learning shown. In the fourth chapter the results are collected and the conclusions drawn are shown

Overturning SFFA v. Harvard

One of the first lessons law students learn is the importance of stare decisis. It not only serves as a tool to learn how to apply settled law to argument and persuasive writing, but foundationally stare decisis helps promote the public’s trust, confidence, and faith in the judicial system. Thus, when the Supreme Court issued its 6-3 opinion in 2023 in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard/University of North Carolina (“Harvard”), most onlookers viewed the decision as being the final nail in the coffin for affirmative action in higher education admissions. However, we—the authors—are among the minority. In our essay, we examine how a future, reconfigured Supreme Court may overturn the Harvard decision using Justice Kavanaugh’s three-prong stare decisis framework applied in Ramos v. Louisiana. We first demonstrate how the decision is egregiously wrong, grounding our decision in the Supreme Court’s failure to acknowledge the historical underpinnings of the Equal Protection Clause as both an anti-subjugation and equal opportunity clause. Second, we note how the Court’s colorblind interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment is already leading to significant jurisprudential and real world consequences, where anti-civil rights activists are using the decision to restrict race-conscious fellowships, contracting and employment, among several other opportunities for advancement. Finally, we predict how the decision will unduly upset reliance interests, including many sectors that rely on racially diverse workers and leaders. While we acknowledge the critical role stare decisis continues to play in the courts and the court of public opinion, there are exceptions where the Court so carelessly abandons the rule of law and its own jurisprudence that it must be reversed—like Harvard

Generalized Henneberg Stable Minimal Surfaces

We generalize the classical Henneberg minimal surface by giving an infinite family of complete, finitely branched, non-orientable, stable minimal surfaces in R3. These surfaces can be grouped into subfamilies depending on a positive integer (called the complexity), which essentially measures the number of branch points. The classical Henneberg surface H1 is characterized as the unique example in the subfamily of the simplest complexity m = 1, while for m ≥ 2 multiparameter families are given. The isometry group of the most symmetric example Hm with a given complexity m ∈ N is either isomorphic to the dihedral isometry group D2m+2 (if m is odd) or to Dm+1 × Z2 (if m is even). Furthermore, for m even Hm is the unique solution to the Bj¨orling problem for a hypocycloid of m + 1 cusps (if m is even), while for m odd the conjugate minimal surface H ∗ m to Hm is the unique solution to the Bj¨orling problem for a hypocycloid of 2m + 2 cusps.Universidad de Granada/CBUA CEX2020-001105-M/AEI/10.13039/501100011033Ministry of Science and Innovation, Spain (MICINN) Spanish GovernmentEuropean Commission PID2020-117868GB-I00 Junta de Andalucia P18-FR-4049 A-FQM-139-UGR1

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a disease with a high rate of mortality if a proper treatment is not instated. Plasmapheresis with plasmatic exchange is the treatment of choice. Diagnosis is performed demonstrating microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, a negative direct Coombs test and thrombocytopenia. Among the clinical data, neurological and renal alterations stand out. When there is a reasonable suspicion in the diagnosis, plasmapheresis must be initiated immediately. There are different diseases that may be similar to the TTP signs and symptoms, especially in pregnant women. TTP has a high risk of relapse and may leave sequelae
