Chinese Women Unbound: An Analysis of Women\u27s Emancipation in China

Chinese Women Unbound gives a brief historical background of the status of women in China and presents a well documented history of the evolutionary process of Chinese women\u27s emancipation-from the first missionary school for girls in the 1840s, to the first females admitted to Beijing University in the late 1920s, the marriage law of 1950, and the divorce rate in the 1990s, among other events. The paper also discusses Chinese women\u27s involvement in the 1911-1912 revolution, the Communist revolution, and the modernization of Chinese economy. In narrating this evolutionary process, Moeller analyses the various forces behind the changes, as well as the social, cultural, and political issues that were intertwined with the women\u27s movement in China.

Care Transitions: Empowering Older Adults with Post-Hospital Interventions

Educational Objectives 1. Understand how Care Transitions Interventions® (CTI®) can decrease hospital readmission rates among older adults, ages 60 and over. 2. Recognize how CTI® services assist older adults to stay in their homes after hospitalization for 30 days or more without unnecessary readmissions. 3. Appreciate examples of ways Senior Connections, The Capital Area Agency on Aging, collaborates with community partners. 4. Identify how Senior Connections refers older adults and caregivers to community resources for effective utilization and outcomes

Linear manifolds in the moduli space of one-forms

We study closures of GL_2(R)-orbits on the total space of the Hodge bundle over the moduli space of curves under the assumption that they are algebraic manifolds. We show that, in the generic stratum, such manifolds are the whole stratum, the hyperelliptic locus or parameterize curves whose Jacobian has additional endomorphisms. This follows from a cohomological description of the tangent bundle to strata. For non-generic strata similar results can be shown by a case-by-case inspection. We also propose to study a notion of 'linear manifold' that comprises Teichmueller curves, Hilbert modular surfaces and the ball quotients of Deligne and Mostow. Moreover, we give an explanation for the difference between Hilbert modular surfaces and Hilbert modular threefolds with respect to this notion of linearity.Comment: Minor modifications, many typos fixe
