Negotiation: Women’s Voices

Gender shapes the way we communicate. Using legal theory, case studies and intercultural analysis, this paper explores the way women’s self-identity interacts with negotiation processes and outcomes. Part I examines social, psychological, cultural and political factors shaping women’s identity, voice and participation in negotiations. Part II explores the way women’s view of themselves impacts their participation in negotiations. Lastly, Part III studies the impact of formal training on gender-based differences in negotiations. Through investigating gender’s impact on negotiations, this paper finds that gender and context interact with negotiation process and outcomes. Through gaining more insight on gender’s context-specific impact, negotiators can equip themselves to better manage their negotiation processes and outcomes

21 Pillars for Redefining Public Safety and Restoring Community Trust

Policing in America has always been the entry into the criminal justice system. A system which has clear links to slavery, Black Codes and Jim Crows laws, now looks like police brutality and mass incarceration. For some, policing in America has never been synonymous to public safety—the bold idea that all people should feel safe in their homes and communities. The National Urban League produced its 21 Pillars for Redefining Public Safety and Restoring Community Trust ("21 Pillars") to offer a framework for advocacy that redefines public safety and restores community trust – paving a way beyond the status quo. Our forward-thinking plan is emphasized by five key themes designed to promote the protection and preservation of life, dignity, and trust, while also building safer communities.  The five themes are:Collaborate with Communities to Re-Envision Public SafetyAccountability Change Divisive Policing Policies Require Transparency, Reporting and Data CollectionImprove Hiring Standards and TrainingFor too long communities around the nation, particularly Black communities, have had their lives, safety, and freedom threatened by discriminatory and violent policing. Our communities deserve to feel safe in their homes, in their cars, and on their streets, including being safe from police violence. The 21 Pillars presents a look at what is possible – a plan forward. Public safety must be re-envisioned

Locked Out: Education, Jobs and Justice - A Message to the Next President; Executive Summary and Key Findings

During the 2016 State of Black America Launch Event, attendees were given an informative overview of this year's State of Black America. The State of Black America is the National Urban League's seminal annual publication now in its 40th edition. It is one of the most highly-aniticpated benchmarks and sources for thought leadership around racial equality in America across economics (including employment, income and housing), education, health, social justice and civic engagement.

Epidemiological Study of Kawasan Waterfalls

A place with clean water is worth living for, however, if it runs counter to the usual, it corollary results in some diseases. This epidemiological study does not intend to give a false image on the Kawasan Waterfalls of Badian Cebu, Philippines rather, it aids to provide awareness among tourists to at least minimize anthropological activities that could contribute to water pollutants which cause an increased amount of heavy metals present in the water. With the collection of analyte and lab testing for the presence of cadmium, lead, and mercury in the aforementioned research environment, it was found that the water will not pose any health hazard to anyone in and around the river falls and even to any tourist in the place who wants to plunge into its azure water as far as cadmium and lead concentration is concerned. However, the mean concentration of mercury on the water projected a value, which is beyond the permissible concentrations and therefore may harm anyone in the community. Thus, it is recommended to strengthen measures to prevent and to control the release of these substances into the natural water. Shower facilities should be provided in the place and swimmers should wash first before plunging into the river. As part of an ongoing education and training effort, communicate all information on the health and safety hazards of mercury to potentially exposed individuals on the place. It is also suggested to conduct further concentration analysis of other metals present in the said water falls

Proposta de um aplicativo educacional para promover inteligência emocional para crianças em dispositivos móveis

Orientador: Profa. Dra. Helena Macedo ReisMonografia (graduação) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Campus de Jandaia do Sul., Curso de Graduação em Licenciatura em Computação.Inclui referênciasResumo : Emoções são reações que os seres humanos apresentam em várias situações e contextos, sendo, às vezes, uma tarefa difícil, expressá­las e interpretá­las. Assim, denota­se importante aprender a se expressar e identificar as emoções envolvidas nas diversas interações. A Inteligência Emocional (IE) é um conjunto de habilidades relativas ao lidar com emoções. Seu desenvolvimento proporciona melhorias na conduta do comportamento frente às novas situações, trabalho em equipe, relacionamento interpessoal e resiliência. As Competências Socioemocionais são características ligadas ao desenvolvimento da IE e podem ser ensinadas utilizando ferramentas computacionais para apoiar tal processo. No entanto, ainda há uma carência em aplicativos criados para este fim. Durante a pré­escola, crianças de 3 anos, nos centros de ensino infantil, aprendem a reconhecer e expressar emoções. O presente projeto propôs como objetivo o desenvolvimento de um aplicativo para Android de modo a promover a Inteligência Emocional e as habilidades socioemocionais: empatia, autoestima, paciência, autoconhecimento e criatividade, além de estimular, através de trabalho colaborativo, o reconhecimento e percepção de emoções de outras crianças. A metodologia de pesquisa foi dividida em cinco fases. A primeira fase foi dirigida à pesquisa bibliográfica em artigos científicos sobre as habilidades socioemocionais. Descobriu­se que poucos estudos são voltados para crianças de 3 anos nas habilidades de expressão e reconhecimento da emoção. A segunda fase foi dedicada a analisar quais são as emoções mais hegemônicas e adequadas para serem trabalhadas para esse público. Considerando as análises realizadas a partir do desenvolvimento infantil, conclui­se que para esse público, as emoções mais adequadas são as básicas (medo, alegria, tristeza, raiva e nojo). A terceira fase constituiu o desenvolvimento de avatares. Na sequência, a quarta fase foi o desenvolvimento do aplicativo e, por fim, a quinta fase contemplará o experimento e validação. Apesar da crescente importância de considerar as habilidades socioemocionais dos estudantes, existem poucas pesquisas relacionadas ao reconhecimento e identificação das emoções por meio de dispositivos móveis para crianças de 3 anos. Dessa forma, a pesquisa e o aplicativo, aqui apresentados, vêm ao encontro dessa necessidade
