Perceptions of Female Secondary School Principals: The Impact of Gender
No full textThis qualitative study examined perceptions of and attitudes towards female high school principals held by teachers and other members of high school communities. Data were collected in the form of interviews with male teachers, female teachers, and female principals. Data indicated perceptions of female high school principals to be impacted by gender expectations and stereotypes, creating a gendered experience for female high school principals. Female principal participants shared detailed accounts of being discriminated against, facing additional obstacles and challenges, and feeling lonely and isolated in their roles as high school principals. Despite the considerable barriers, these women leaders also found ways to be resilient in their roles. Some of the positive factors contributing to resilience that they named were familial supports, community, peer mentors, self-efficacy and feeling students deserved the supportive leadership they felt they could offer. They navigated the patriarchal power structures in their professional lives with varying degrees of success. Themes that became apparent throughout this research included: the gender construct that often remains ignored; the myth of meritocracy that contributes to gender inequality in the field of education; females educators’ challenges in navigating gender in collegial relationships; high school leadership largely defined by binary gender; the penalties for female leaders who bend gender; and the unnamed gender identity marker and source of inequity in educational leadership. The findings of this study provided insight into the experiences of female high school principals and indicated gender-based inequality to be common for women in the role. Recommendations that resulted from this study included increasing education regarding gender equity, challenging Androcentric definitions of leadership, implementing targeted mentoring programs for female high school principals, equity hiring and transparency in hiring practices and decisions, professional development on gender in the workplace, and a focus on institutional and systemic action to support gender equity for school leaders

Single Ultraviolet-C light treatment of early stage marine biofouling delays subsequent community development.
No full textPast studies of Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) radiation as a marine antifoulant have focused on repeated doses. However, single or very low frequency exposures of UV-C could create more plausible applications for certain marine structures. The objective of the study reported here was to apply a single treatment of UV-C radiation to an early stage marine biofouling community to observe subsequent effects on biofouling development. Biofouling formed over a 2-week field immersion received UV-C treatments of 0 (control), 4, 20, or 120 min, and subsequent progression was then monitored weekly for 16 weeks. Analysis of acute effects and later macrofouling development suggested direct toxicity of UV-C illumination to invertebrate recruits caused reduction of subsequent biofouling (compared to controls) that persisted for up to 16 weeks following the longest UV-C treatment. Thus, UV-C treatments spaced by days or even weeks could be an option for some applications of UV-C radiation as an antifoulant

The Recovery, Identification, and Reburial of War Dead by American, Canadian, and Commonwealth Entities
No full textThe First and Second World Wars were catastrophic global events with unprecedented numbers of casualties. While many of the dead were recovered and buried during or immediately after the wars, thousands remain unaccounted for. Finding, identifying, and reburying those still missing provides closure for families and clarifies historical events on both global and national scales. Through a combination of interviews and documentary evidence, I compare the history, principles, and processes behind the recovery, identification, and reburial efforts of conflict casualties by the United States’ Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), Canada’s Casualty Identification Program (CIP), and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC). This research sheds light on the differences between these organizations as they affect the recovery, identification, and repatriation of war dead
