He, She, We: Gender Impacts in Teamwork
Get PDFIt is well known that organizational teams are highly valued in work settings (Marquis, 2019). Some research has shown gender differences such as team collaboration is greatly improved by the presence of women in the group (Baer & Woolley, 2011). Other studies support mixed gender teams as advantageous (Sachiko & Takeda, 2014). This paper will review the perceptions of gender contributions in teams from the literature and report on a study of current business students in a liberal arts university. Some comparisons are made to the author\u27s 2017 survey on gender effects in team projects in the same school

HCV Birth Cohort Screening Guideline Implementation: A Change of Practice
No full textObjective: Hepatitis C (HCV) is the most common bloodborne pathogen in the United States (CDC, 2018). U. S. Preventive Task Force recommends all people born between 1945 and 1965 be screened for HCV. The purpose of this study is to affect change of practice in a primary care setting via provision of HCV screening guideline education to providers and utilization of screening prompts at the point of care. Key Words: Hepatitis C, screening guidelines, treatment, cost, compliance, adherence, barriersMethods: Interventional pre-and post-test protocol. HCV education was provided, and HCV screening prompt was integrated at the point of care for patients born between 1945 to 1965. Participants completed questionnaires to determine HCV screening knowledge and perspective before and after the educational intervention. Demographic data along with pre- and post-intervention knowledge and perspectives was analyzed to determine effectiveness of educational intervention and to discover themes. Number of HCV screenings ordered during study period were compared with historical HCV screening orders. Results: Increase in HCV screening knowledge across all provider roles. Increased number of HCV screenings post education. Conclusion: Identified barriers to birth cohort screening highlight the need for a universal screening guideline
Visual and Literary Representations of Memory and Meaning of the Atomic Bomb at Hiroshima-Nagasaki
No full textThe atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 August and 9 August 1945, respectively, marked an inflection point in humanity’s collective psyche. The effect of this nuclear inflection point on humanity is broad, and memories of the events and their aftereffects are myriad. As such, a chronological approach to memory and meaning of the bomb gives a practical organizing principle—evaluating the history leading up to the bombings, accounts of the bombings and aftereffects, and visual and literary representations of events rippling out from the nuclear inflection point. Memory and meaning of the bomb are examined through two key representations: at Nagasaki through the visual representation of the Urakami Cathedral Atomic Relic and at Hiroshima through the visual and narrative representations of a series of painted murals, the fifteen Hiroshima Panels created by artists Iri and Toshi Maruki from 1950 to 1982. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are technically two separate events, but for purposes of this framework and analysis, they are considered simultaneously to comprise a single dual-event and inflection point marking the start of a new modern nuclear era. This transdisciplinary study examines human experience, condition, remembrance, and meaning-making as illustrated in the context of this single event, with the goal of forwarding a matrix of visual, literary, and new media representations that may be used as a framework for study of the nuclear era that lends context and meaning for current and future understanding and analysis

“A Crisis in Our Cause”: The Fifteenth Amendment and the Newport Woman Suffrage Convention of August 1869
No full textIn “A Crisis in Our Cause”: The Fifteenth Amendment and the Newport Woman Suffrage Convention of August 1869,” Elizabeth C. Stevens details the painful rupture in the fledgling woman suffrage movement of the late 1860s by examining a suffrage convention held in Newport, R.I. in August 1869. Tensions between colleagues in the woman’s rights and abolitionist movements of the mid-nineteenth century over the pending passage of the Fifteenth Amendment boiled over into hostility and anger as plans for the convention evolved. Paulina Wright Davis, leader of the Rhode Island Woman Suffrage Association, was at the forefront in organizing the convention at the behest of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Elizabeth C. Stevens is the editor of Newport History and the author of Elizabeth Buffum Chace and Lilllie Chace Wyman: A Century of Abolitionist, Suffragist and Woman’s Rights Activism
