Some considerations on research dissemination with particular reference to the audience and the authorship of papers.

Original article can be found at : http://www.informaworld.com/This paper suggests that some refinements might need to be considered to current codes of ethics for dissemination of research. The growth of research in music education over the last decade is reviewed, with examples from new journals, conferences and professional associations. It is argued that nowadays researchers have to address a multidisciplinary number of audiences and this should be taken into account in the regulations for conferences and publications with the incorporation of guidelines for contributors to address their specific audience and to explain any previous dissemination. The authorship of papers is also considered, in particular issues arising from multiple authorship, as well as the research participants' contribution to the final report. Some of these issues are discussed with reference to studies focussed on a particular topic (creativity in music education) within the context of music education research, but it is acknowledged that the discussion also applies to other fields of the humanities and social sciences.Peer reviewe

Women in Aviation: An Interview-Based Analysis of Female Aviators' Entrances Into the Industry

Since their permitted entrance into the airline industry in 1974, women have remained a very small portion of the commercial aviator workforce. In fact, women are just seven percent of pilots worldwide and just over three percent of U.S. commercial aviators. However, despite this gender divide in a U.S. industry with a reputation for rewarding high-skill performance with high-wage compensation, nearly no literature exists on the topic of women in the aviation sector of the airline industry. In focusing on female captains that have successfully navigated the field, this thesis examines what structural and personal features enabled a sub set of female aviators to persist in a male-dominated industry. In order to undergo this examination, this research calls upon eight interviews with successful female aviators at the major commercial airliner level, pairing it with a literature review on airline deregulation and the feminization of work. This thesis finds that structurally and institutionally, the equitable airline standards applied to both men and women discourages the equal entrance of both genders. On a personal level, the broad themes of support structures, family decisions, financial decisions and opportunity played central roles in each woman’s progress through the field. Further research might incorporate a larger group of women, a group of women at a range of stages in their careers, women who decided not to continue in their initial pursuit of aviation, or men who worked in the industry at the time that women were first admitted to commercial aviation.Bachelor of Art

Southern Humboldt Indians

More than a century after they had spoken, these early day Indians will be heard. All of us who make Humboldt County our home deserve to have access to this information. We deserve to know the many, many names of the tribal groups that were once here and to learn the story of these groups. And we deserve to know the names of the Indian elders who transmitted these names and told these stories, just as we deserve to know the stories about the elders themselves.https://digitalcommons.humboldt.edu/monographs/1019/thumbnail.jp

A Culturally Sensitive Social Support Intervention for Chinese American Breast Cancer Survivors (Joy Luck Academy): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/),BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer among Asian American women. Chinese American immigrant breast cancer survivors face unique challenges because of cultural and socioecological factors. They report emotional distress and the need for social, emotional, and spiritual support. However, culturally and linguistically appropriate information for managing survivorship health care is often unavailable. OBJECTIVE: To improve the health outcomes for this underserved and understudied population, we developed, designed, and launched a randomized controlled trial to test the health benefits of a culturally sensitive social support intervention (Joy Luck Academy). In this paper, we describe the research protocol. METHODS: This randomized controlled trial will enroll Chinese-speaking, stage 0 to 3 breast cancer survivors who have completed treatment within the previous 36 months using a community-based participatory research approach. We will randomly assign 168 participants to the intervention or control group. The intervention arm will attend 7 weekly 3.5-hour peer mentor and educational sessions. The control group will receive the educational information. We will assess health outcomes at baseline, immediately after the Joy Luck Academy, and at 1- and 4-month follow-ups. The primary outcome is quality of life, as measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy scale. Secondary outcomes include depressive symptoms, positive affect, fatigue, and perceived stress. We will also explore how the intervention influences cortisol levels. To identify how and to whom the program is effective, we will measure social and personal resources and theorized mechanisms and perform qualitative interviews with a subsample of participants to enhance the interpretation of quantitative data. RESULTS: Recruitment began in February 2015, and data collection was completed in February 2019. We expect to complete data management by August 2021 and publish results in 2022. CONCLUSIONS: If the Joy Luck Academy is demonstrated to be effective, it may be easily disseminated as an intervention for other groups of Asian American immigrant breast cancer survivors. Furthermore, similar programs could be integrated into other diverse communities.Peer reviewedFinal Published versio
