Reexamining the Role of Department Chair: Is the Chair “Broken”?
No full textIn Short:
The Netflix series, The Chair, illustrates a dramatic portrayal of the role of the chair.
The reality of the department chair’s role is complex and becoming more so.
The inherent structure of the department chair is rife with paradoxes.
Potential solutions can be found in structural changes as well as thoughtful ongoing professional development.This accepted article is published as Marilee Bresciani Ludvik & Linda Serra Hagedorn (2022) Reexamining the Role of Department Chair: Is the Chair “Broken”?, Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 54:5, 25-30, DOI: 10.1080/00091383.2022.2101862.

The Correspondence of Ludvik Kuba with Andronyk Stepovychиas a Source for the Research of Czech-Ukrainian Cultural Communications
No full textThe article analyzes the correspondence of prominent Czech folklorist and painter Ludvik Kuba (1863–1956) with Ukrainian philologist, specialist in Slavic languages and literature, teacher Andronyk Stepovych (1856/1857–1935). This epistolary complex, which is currently stored in the Manuscript Institute of the National Library of Ukraine named after V. I. Vernadskyi, includes 74 letters sent by Ludvik Kuba to Andronyk Stepovych over a long period of time — from 1884 to 1935, with a break from 1899 to 1924 and contains valuable materials related to Czech-Ukrainian cultural communications of the end of the 19th — the first third of the 20th century: collection and publication of musical folklore monuments, Andronyk Stepovych’s travels to Czechia and Ludvik Kuba to Ukraine, exchange of printed publications, cooperation with publishing houses, scientific and public institutions. These letters also indicate attention to the study of Slavic languages as a prerequisite for cultural relations. They are about the influence of socio-political events and processes on the lifestyle of intellectuals and artists, as well as their dependence on the market conditions of printed products and works of art. In addition, these texts provide important evidence for the study of the emotional and intellectual components of interpersonal communication expressed through the epistolary genre of written culture. The author believes that a closer acquaintance of the scientific community with Ludvik Kuba’s correspondence with Andronyk Stepovych can be useful for researching sociocultural processes in Central-Eastern Europe at the personal level, as well as clarifying the importance of folkloristics, linguistics, and literary studies in these processes. Therefore, a scientific publication of this epistolary complex seems desirable
Reactions to Netflix's The Chair
No full textThanks to Netflix and its limited series The Chair, the role of the department chair is now better understood by the general public. Or is it? The Chair follows a fictional newly minted department chair sharing her trials and tribulations, along with a good dose of drama, all aimed at a general audience with little to no exposure to academic leadership. But what does The Chair actually reveal about university departmental leadership? And what are the real issues driving the drama that ring true and have now been laid out for all to see?
The symbolic opening scene of the newly appointed chair walking into her newly assigned office and sitting down at a well-used desk chair that crumbles as soon as she does so is an omen of future doom for the new administrator. The symbolism is obvious and straightforward; just like the office chair itself, the new chair will also collapse in carrying out her duties. What challenges should any new chair become aware of so that they don't meet the same fate?
Using Netflix's The Chair as our framework, we discuss three evident challenges that most department leaders face, regardless of their race and gender, that even the general public can now understand and sympathize with.This article is published as Ludvik, M.B. and Hagedorn, L.S. (2022), Reactions to Netflix's The Chair. The Department Chair, 33: 18-19. https://doi.org/10.1002/dch.30477. Posted with permission
Is polyandry a common event among wild populations of the pest Ceratitis capitata?
No full textIn many insect species, females can mate more than once and store sperm from more than one male. An assessment and understanding of polyandry in the field can be important for pest species with a high colonization potential, such as the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), which is also highly polyphagous and among the most destructive agricultural insects. The use of polymorphic microsatellite markers, combined with different statistical approaches, provides evidence that polyandry occurs in two C. capitata natural populations, one population from the Greek island of Chios and one population from Rehovot, in Israel. The observed different level of polyandry is discussed in relation to the genetic diversity, seasonality, and demography of the two populations. When polyandry is present, paternity analysis also indicates that one male, presumably the last, tends to sire most of the progeny. Polyandry and paternity skew may have important implications for the evolution of the species, in terms of maintenance of the genetic variability. Moreover, these aspects of the mating behavior, i.e., remating frequency and paternity skew, may locally affect the sterile insect technique, the most commonly applied control strategy against C. capitata
