To Look or Not to Look: Acknowledging Facial Stigmas in the Interview to Reduce Discrimination
As the use of technology-mediated interviews (e.g., Skype) is becoming a standard method to interview applicants, it is important to understand how discrimination can still manifest in these types of interviews. Because technology-mediated interviews focus on applicants’ faces, discrimination based on facial stigmas can be particularly inevitable. Thus, the purpose of the current study is to examine how a facial stigma affects visual attention during a technology-mediated interview and acknowledgment as a remediation strategy that individuals might use to reduce the amount of visual attention on a facial stigma. We used a 2 (acknowledge: yes or no) x 2 (target gender: male or female) experimental design. The participants heard a computer-mediated interview while viewing one of the manipulated images. For half of the conditions, the participants heard the applicant acknowledge their stigma. Using an eye tracker, visual attention to the stigma was measured every 30 seconds during the 8-minute interview, producing 16 different time points and a total of 1,792 data points. Multilevel growth curve model analysis examined variation in the trajectory of visual attention to the stigma. The results showed that facial stigmas draw visual attention during a computer-mediated interview, which decreased over time. However, the trajectory of the decrease in visual attention depended on whether an applicant acknowledged their stigma during the interview. The decrease in visual attention was faster in the acknowledgment condition than in the control condition. The current research provides a better understanding to how a facial stigma influences the interview process and provides a theoretical rationale for why acknowledging a facial stigma benefits the interview process
Tratamiento de lixiviados utilizando humedales construidos y determinación de conductividades hidráulicas en clima tropical
Los humedales construidos en los últimos años han sido ampliamente usados en la depuración de una gran variedad de aguas residuales, por ser una alternativa que ofrece múltiples ventajas, en comparación con otros sistemas de tratamiento. Este estudio evaluó la eficiencia de seis sistemas de humedales, construidos de flujo subsuperficial horizontal (HCFSSH), a escala piloto, para la remoción de materia orgánica (DQO), nutrientes (N-NO3-, P-PO43-) y plomo (Pb+2), además de la incidencia del tiempo de operación sobre la conductividad hidráulica (Ks) para tratar lixiviados del Relleno Sanitario “El Ojito”, del municipio de Popayán, Cauca. Tres humedales fueron plantados con Heliconia psittacorum (HCFSSH-H. p) y tres con Cyperus haspan (HCFSSH-C. h); el medio de soporte utilizado fue grava, operados con un caudal de 0.012m3/día y un tiempo de retención hidráulico de 4 días; las unidades recibieron efluente de una laguna de oxidación. Los resultados mostraron remociones medias de: DQO (51,67 y 64,00%), N-NO3- (45,33 y 48,17%), P-PO43- (53,67 y 62,67%) y Pb+2 (5,74 y 14,75%) para los HCFSSH-H. p y HCFSSH-C. h, respectivamente y valores de conductividad hidráulica, entre 700 y 1000m/día. El sistema de humedales mostró ser eficiente para el tratamiento secundario de lixiviado de rellenos sanitarios maduros, obteniendo eficiencias de remoción, significativamente mayores, en los HCFSSH-C. h

Using Social Network Sites to Investigate Employees in the Hospitality Industry
The use of social network sites to investigate potential employees is a new practice with few studies examining how employers use social network sites for screening applicants. The purpose of this paper was to investigate how employers use social network sites for the selection process. Participants were industry recruiters attending a career fair; 50% of the recruiters reported using social network sites to screen applicants. Negative information from the internet was rated as more important than positive information of the applicants. Recruiters use social network sites more for management level and front-of-the-house employees than entry level and back-of-the-house applicants

The Diversity-Validity Dilemma: Implications from the Ricci v. DeStefano U.S. Supreme Court Case
One of the most critical problems that hospitality firms face in selecting employees is that the use of cognitive ability tests and other valid predictors of job performance lead to subgroup differences between majority and minority group members. The recent Ricci v. DeStefano U.S. Supreme Court case provides new implications for the adverse diversity-validity dilemma. This paper seeks to bridge areas that have not been discussed in unison, including the costs of employment discrimination claims, the validity-diversity dilemma, and disparate treatment v. disparate impact under the Supreme Court’s recent ruling, and alternative selection methods
