Book excerpt: An exploration of workplace participation and earnings patterns for diverse women in US STEM professions that upends the myth that STEM work benefits women economically. Seen as part economic driver, part social remedy, STEM work is commonly understood to benefit both the US economy and people—particularly women—from underrepresented groups. But what do diverse women find when they work in US STEM occupations? What do STEM jobs really deliver—and for whom? In Disparate Measures, Mary Armstrong and Susan Averett challenge the conventional wisdom that a diverse US STEM workforce will bring about economic abundance for the women who participate in it. Combining intersectionality theory and critical data theory with a feminist economic analysis, the authors explore how different groups of diverse women truly fare in US STEM professions. Disparate Measures is centered on eight unique, in-depth case studies, each of which provides an intersectional economic analysis (a term coined by the authors) of diverse women working in STEM occupations. Four case studies prioritize women of color and examine the STEM participation and earnings of Black women, American Indian and Alaska Native women, Asian and Pacific Islander women, and Hispanic women/Latinas; four additional case studies illuminate intersections that are frequently neglected by the STEM inclusivity literature: foreign-born women, women with disabilities, Queer women, and mothers. What the authors find in their groundbreaking, detailed analysis is that the promises of STEM are only partly true: when compared to women not working in STEM, most women are indeed economically elevated by STEM occupations—yet when compared to white men in the same STEM occupations, women’s second-class status is usually reaffirmed. The authors conclude by offering seven “big-picture” recommendations for rethinking STEM equity, showing just how we can successfully confront the entrenched patterns of economic disadvantage faced by diverse women in STEM jobs.

Book Synopsis Lawmaking by Initiative by : Philip L. Dubois
Download or read book Lawmaking by Initiative written by Philip L. Dubois and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the history of the initiative process and the major issues that have arisen during its increasing use in recent years. By elucidating the problems that have arisen and their possible solutions, the authors seek both to inform the debate about the wisdom of the initiative and to offer suggestions for improvement to jurisdictions that choose to use the process. With the aid of more than 40 charts and tables, the authors compare the major features of the initiative in the American jurisdictions that have adopted the procedure-24 states and the District of Columbia. They draw particularly on the experience in California, the most frequent U.S. user of the initiative and a major battleground in the development of ideas about the process. The book also discusses the use of the initiative in other countries, particularly Switzerland, where the process originated and the only other major country in the world that makes extensive use of the initiative today.
Book Synopsis Measures of Health Literacy by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Measures of Health Literacy written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-12-30 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health literacy-the ability for individuals to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services to facilitate appropriate health decisions-is increasingly recognized as an important facet of health care and health outcomes. Although research on health literacy has grown tremendously in the past decade, there is no widely agreed-upon framework for health literacy as a determinant of health outcomes. Most instruments focus on assessing an individual's health literacy, yet the scope of health literacy reaches far beyond an individual's skills and abilities. Health literacy occurs in the context of the health care system, and therefore measures of health literacy must also assess the demands and complexities of the health care systems with which patients interact. For example, measures are needed to determine how well the system has been organized so that it can be navigated by individuals with different levels of health literacy and how well health organizations are doing at making health information understandable and actionable. To examine what is known about measures of health literacy, the Institute of Medicine convened a workshop. The workshop, summarized in this volume, reviews the current status of measures of health literacy, including those used in the health care setting; discusses possible surrogate measures that might be used to assess health literacy; and explores ways in which health literacy measures can be used to assess patient-centered approaches to care.
Book Synopsis Explaining Health Across the Sciences by : Jonathan Sholl
Download or read book Explaining Health Across the Sciences written by Jonathan Sholl and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-28 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume aims to better understand the multifaceted phenomenon we call health. Going beyond simple views of health as the absence of disease or as complete well-being, this book unites scientists and philosophers. The contributions clarify the links between health and adaptation, robustness, resilience, or dynamic homeostasis, and discuss how to achieve health and healthy aging through practices such as hormesis. The book is divided into three parts and a conclusion: the first part explains health from within specific disciplines, the second part explores health from the perspective of a bodily part, system, function, or even the environment in which organisms live, and the final part looks at more clinical or practical perspectives. It thereby gathers, across 30 chapters, diverse perspectives from the broad fields of evolutionary and systems biology, immunology, and biogerontology, more specific areas such as odontology, cardiology, neurology, and public health, as well as philosophical reflections on mental health, sexuality, authenticity and medical theories. The overarching aim is to inform, inspire and encourage intellectuals from various disciplines to assess whether explanations in these disparate fields and across biological levels can be sufficiently systematized and unified to clarify the complexity of health. It will be particularly useful for medical graduates, philosophy graduates and research professionals in the life sciences and general medicine, as well as for upper-level graduate philosophy of science students.
Book Synopsis Emerging Issues and Methods in Personality Assessment by : John A. Schinka
Download or read book Emerging Issues and Methods in Personality Assessment written by John A. Schinka and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes a collection of articles that were written for, and recently published as, special sections in three consecutive issues of the Journal of Personality Assessment. Part I provides lucid commentaries on the current status of and future issues regarding the Rorschach and MMPI-2 and other instruments, including the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory -- Adolescent (MMPI-A), the Interpersonal Adjective Scales (IAS-R), the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems -- Circumplex version (IIP-C), the revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R), and the third edition of the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI-III). The authors not only participated in the dvelopment of the instruments, but continue to lead the research effort in their application in both clinical and research settings. Part II addresses several issues that have been recurring themes, and often topics of debate, in the research and professional literature. The contributors discuss the impact of the five-factor model on personality assessment, the issue of deception in personality assessment, and various critical issues in the measurement of mood states. Other articles focus on the integration of the MMPI-2 and Rorschach and the process that clinicians should follow when applying scientific knowledge to clinical practice. Part III is primarily devoted to overviews of several statistical methods that are employed infrequently in personality assessment research, but have great potential in contributing to the understanding of the complex data sets often encountered in the measurement and study of personality. These articles serve as both an introduction and a brief tutorial for personality researchers who are unfamiliar with the subject matter. They are valuable references that will form the basis for evaluating the appropriate use of these methods in published research in their areas of interest.

Book Synopsis Social Competence in Developmental Perspective by : Barry Schneider
Download or read book Social Competence in Developmental Perspective written by Barry Schneider and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1989-08-31 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What determines the focus of a researcher's interest, the sources of inspiration for a study, or the variables scrutinized? If we were to examine the antecedents of these decisions, they would surely emerge as accidents of circumstance--the personal experiences of the researcher, the inspiration of early mentors, the influence of contemporary colleagues--all tempered by the intellectual currents that nurture the researcher's hypotheses. Among the accidents that mold the careers of researchers is geographic location. The culture in which a research program emerges helps determine both its very subject and its method. The primary purpose of this book is to assist those interested in the scientific study of children's social competence in transcending the boundaries imposed both by geography and by selective exposure to the highly diverse schools of thought that have led to interest in this field. Most of these ideas were presented and exchanged at an Advanced Study Institute entitled "Social Competence in Developmental Perspective" held in Savoie, France, in July 1988. This Institute was attended by scholars from France, England, Northern Ireland, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Canada, the United States and Brazil. Those who participated will recognize that the metamorphosis from lecture to chapter has necessitated many changes. In order to accommodate the reader who may be unfamiliar with the field, more attention has been paid here to identifying the theoretical contexts of the research described.

Book Synopsis Victimization in Schools by : Gary D. Gottfredson
Download or read book Victimization in Schools written by Gary D. Gottfredson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perception that our nation's public schools are disorderly and unsafe is widespread, and the image of the public school is deteriorating. Since 1974, the Gallup organization has gathered opinions about the public schools. The percentage giving the schools an "A" rating declined from 18% to 6% between 1974 and 1983 (Gallup, 1974, 1984). In a recent survey of America's teenagers, only 9% gave the schools an "A" rating (Bahner, 1980, p. 106). Lack of discipline tops the list of the problems adults see facing schools, and class disturbances and theft are reported by teenagers to be "very big" or "fairly big" problems in their schools (Bahner, 1980, p. 107). These public perceptions are fostered by and reflected in national media attention ("City Schools in Crisis," 1977; "Help! Teacher Can't Teach!" 1980; "High Schools under Fire," 1977). Public concern is also reflected in Congressional hearings where testimony creates the image of grave disorder within our schools (U.s. Senate, Committee on the Judiciary, 1975, 1976b; U.s. House of Representatives, Subcommittee on Elementary, Secondary, and Vocational Education, 1980). The public has given the schools low marks, and the Senate Judiciary Committee (1975) gave the schools an" A" in violence and vandalism. In short, parents, students, and public officials are alarmed at what they see as a rising tide of violence and disorder in the schools and are concerned about how much learning can occur in a disruptive environ ment, and about the safety of teachers and students.
Book Synopsis Approaching Difficulties in Literacy Development by : Felicity Fletcher-Campbell
Download or read book Approaching Difficulties in Literacy Development written by Felicity Fletcher-Campbell and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2009-08-24 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Reader considers the complexity of literacy difficulties, showing how research into literacy difficulties has to be multi-faceted and multi-disciplinary and involve a range of research approaches and methods. The chapters show that this is necessary to accommodate the wide range of issues that can, potentially, explain literacy difficulties and suggest strategies and interventions to ease those difficulties. Starting from the point that literacy is a contested concept and that acquiring literacy is a complex process, this Reader goes on to consider literacy development in relation to: - Theoretical understandings, implications for practice - Assessing literacy difficulties - Pedagogy and planning - Interventions in different contexts This Reader is relevant to all postgraduate students of Literacy, as well as educators, professionals and policy makers.

Book Synopsis How To Become A Life Coach, How To Be Highly Successful As A Life Coach, And How To Earn Revenue As A Life Coach by : Dr. Harrison Sachs
Download or read book How To Become A Life Coach, How To Be Highly Successful As A Life Coach, And How To Earn Revenue As A Life Coach written by Dr. Harrison Sachs and published by The Epic Books Of Dr. Harrison Sachs. This book was released on 2019-12-15 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on how to become a life coach, explicates how to be highly successful as a life coach, and elucidates how to earn revenue as a life coach. While becoming a life coach may seem be an eminently cumbersome, expensive, time-consuming, and daunting undertaking, it is viably possible to become a life coach. Much to the relief of prospective life coaches, it is possible to become a life coach in a time span of less than half of a decade and the journey to become a life coach is not as lengthy as the journey to pursue certain other occupations, such as the occupations of a medical doctor or attorney. The pathway that a prospective life coach can follow to become a life coach is fraught with challenges that are not a cinch to surmount. It can be arduous to fulfill the duties of a life coach. Life coach skills are highly desirable skills to possess. As of December of 2019, only an infinitesimal fraction of one percent of the global population are employed as life coaches. In the US, for instance, less than 43,000 work as life coaches even though the US population is comprised of over 328,000,000 people as of December of 2019. As of December of 2019, less than .0013% of people in the US work as life coaches. This means that out of 7,628 random people in the US, about only one person at most works as a life coach as of December of 2019. As of December of 2019, it was estimated that there were more medical doctors and attorneys in the US than life coaches even though it takes far more years to fulfill the ample mandatory requirements to become a medical doctor or attorney than it takes to fulfill the mandatory requirements to become a life coach. As of December of 2019, there are no mandatory requirements that need to be fulfilled for a person to become a life coach. As of December of 2019, the economy is unequivocally in dire need of more life coaches, especially since there are a multitude of ways in which most people can ameliorate their lives. Life coaches can help their clients to rectify issues that are transpiring in their lives. Life coaches can help their clients to remedy rectifiable career issues, rectifiable interpersonal relationship issues, rectifiable academic issues, and rectifiable wellness issues. A person can ameliorate his quality of life if it is devoid of career issues, interpersonal relationship issues, academic issues, and wellness issues. Life coaches can provide guidance on the measures to implement so that their clients can resolve rectifiable issues in their lives. Life coaches can also provide guidance on the disparate measures to implement that are conducive to attaining career success so that their clients are all the more aptly primed to have lucrative careers. Life coaches can also provide guidance on the disparate measures to implement that are conducive to bolstering interpersonal relationships so that the interpersonal relationships of their clients are inapt to become tenuous interpersonal relationships shortly after being formed. Life coaches can also provide guidance on the disparate measures to implement that are conducive to significantly boosting a person’s well-being so that their clients are all the more apt to experience jubilance. When people are able to experience unalloyed euphoria, then they become less prone to profusely brooding over unresolved issues that they are encountering in their lives. People should strive to metaphorically thrust their lives into an upward trajectory. Life coaches can also help their clients to reach their short-term objectives and attain their overarching goals. People should aim to self-improve themselves and actualize their latent potential. People should aim to become highly knowledgeable, highly competent, and highly adept industry experts in their niche field of expertise. Life coaches can help their clients to achieve their higher aspirations. It is less cumbersome for a person to achieve his higher aspirations in his lifetime if he has attained profound career success to the extent to which it has culminated in him earning enough fiat currency amid his working years to be able to afford to attempt to achieve his higher aspirations which can be eminently expensive to be pursuant of. Life coaches can help their clients to make inroads towards improving multiple facets of their lives. A person’s life does not need to be characterized by stagnation since a person is at liberty to attempt to improve multiple aspects of life if he chooses to do so.
