    Stress Among Teens

    Get PDF
    Stress is something a majority of people go through. Teens however have to deal with finding their “identity” and struggling to prove to themselves that they are good enough. Teens don’t have much of a clue on how to “fix” or manage their stress which can be changed. The stress teens experience can impact them emotionally, mentally and socially, leading to greater effects in their lives

    The Economic Impact of a US Tech Talent Shortage on Midwest Companies

    This thesis examines the economic impact that a pervasive shortage of tech talent nationwide is having on various companies in the Midwest. Per the Mid-America Regional Council, four computer-related job openings existed for every unemployed person in the Midwest in 2015. In Nebraska alone, there were 2,318 open computing jobs, with only 438 computer science graduates in the state that year. By examining this contemporary issue, I explore both the extent to which companies in the Midwest are affected by the shortage and the common practices currently in place by Midwest companies to deal with the shortage. For the scope of this thesis, tech talent will refer to any individual who possesses on-demand computing skills (e.g. proficient in on-demand programming languages). I use two major research strategies: (1) conducting interviews with IT and HR leadership from various established companies in Omaha and (2) reviewing published literature and other related secondary reports. After the collection of this data, I conduct a thorough analysis of common solutions, biases, and other general trends in IT strategy used by the interviewed companies. Additionally, I propose two recommendations regarding initiatives that may further alleviate the shortage

    The Role of Computational Science and Emerging Technologies in the Natural Sciences Education at University Level

    AbstractThis paper is focused on the role of Computational Science and emerging technologies in the natural sciences education at university level. We outline our Integrated Metacognitive Process Model (IMPM) and our Collaborative Learning approach based on Collaborative Creative Cross-Pollination activity model at postgraduate level. We present our multidisciplinary approach based on the following three components: the existence of multidisciplinary research environment (non-silos departmental culture), computational science research methods as core part of the curricula and collaborative teaching activities facilitated by novel collaborative tools using Collaborative Creative Cross-Pollination. Some results showing the advantages of such an environment and approach are presented. The initial results have shown overall average improvement of the average marks with around 5% plus clear satisfaction of the students as evident from their responses to the course evaluation

    El migrante centroamericano irregular de paso por México: Subjetividad y lesiones en contra de su dignidad. Una crítica a la construcción estructurante desde la mirada de Michel Foucault

    Get PDF
    La presente investigación es un estudio basado en la subjetividad como corriente teórica, donde se aborda la experiencia del migrante centroamericano irregular de paso por México en lo referente a cómo se lesiona la dignidad de éste a través de los tipos de violencia física, simbólica y estructural. De las experiencias de los migrantes se construye un referente que permitió analizar de manera crítica a la construcción estructurante a través de los conceptos de dispositivo, biopolítica y bipoder del filósofo francés Michel Foucault. Con dichos conceptos se logra explicar cómo es que el Estado mexicano, a través de las acciones y omisiones del Instituto Nacional de Migración busca administrar el fenómeno de la migración irregular, bajo una lógica de contención y mantenimiento del estado de cosas existente, sin considerar las necesidades de los migrantes en tanto que son sujetos. Para la consecución del trabajo se realizó un estudio epistémico-histórico relativo al concepto de dignidad y como se descubrió que no existe una definición del mismo que sea universal, se procedió, después de analizar de forma multidisciplinaria los componentes esenciales de la definición, a la conclusión de proponer un concepto propio de dignidad que pudiera ser constatado en el referente de realidad. Dicho concepto fue aplicado en entrevistas a profundidad que fueron consideradas como el medio idóneo de recolección de información, lo anterior derivado de que el trabajo es de corte cualitativo. El trabajo de campo en comento fue llevado a cabo en el albergue denominado Casa del Migrante, en Huehuetoca, Estado de México

    Education 2.0: Student Generated Learning Materials through Collaborative Work

    Get PDF
    AbstractThe Inside-Outside strategy pushes students to be more involved in their learning. As shown by the Integrated Learning Processes model this improves learning. A course on operating systems was redesigned in such a way that students would generate most of their learning materials as well a significant part of their evaluation exams. This new approach resulted in a statistical significant improvement of student's grade as measured by a standardized exam compared with a previous student intake

    A Chemokine Targets the Nucleus: Cxcl12-Gamma Isoform Localizes to the Nucleolus in Adult Mouse Heart

    Get PDF
    Chemokines are extracellular mediators of complex regulatory circuits involved principally in cell-to-cell communication. Most studies to date of the essential chemokine Cxcl12 (Sdf-1) have focused on the ubiquitously expressed secreted isoforms α and β. Here we show that, unlike these isoforms and all other known chemokines, the alternatively transcribed γ isoform is an intracellular protein that localizes to the nucleolus in differentiated mouse Cardiac tissue. Our results demonstrate that nucleolar transportation is encoded by a nucleolar-localization signal in the unique carboxy-terminal region of Sdf-1γ, and is competent both in vivo and in vitro. The molecular mechanism underlying these unusual chemokine properties involves cardiac-specific transcription of an mRNA containing a unique short-leader sequence lacking the signal peptide and translation from a non-canonical CUG codon. Our results provide an example of genome economy even for essential and highly conserved genes such as Cxcl12, and suggest that chemokines can exert tissue specific functions unrelated to cell-to-cell communication
