Balancing work and family: how does family responsibilities discrimination affect career advancement?
No full textThis exploratory mixed-methods study uses grounded theory to examine the relationship between family responsibilities discrimination (FRD) and career advancement in the public sector. By employing a primarily qualitative embedded research design, semi-structured interviews and exit surveys were conducted in three New Jersey public schools to study a sample of teachers and similarly situated professional staff to investigate the organizational and individual dimensions of FRD, the discretion used by people with family responsibilities, and perceptions of the emerging legal concept of FRD. This study is the first of its kind to examine FRD, as opposed to gender discrimination, in relation to career advancement of public sector employees, specifically public school professionals. The results of the analysis of the data, consisting of qualitative themes extracted from the interviews and descriptive statistics from the exit surveys, show that FRD causes teachers to use discretion at home and work, that current organizational factors not only fail to mitigate effects of FRD on the work/family balancing act but sometimes contribute to them, that there is a lack of awareness of the legal concept of FRD, and that FRD directly and indirectly impedes career advancement in the school system. Based on these preliminary results, recommendations for future research and action in the field are suggested.Ph. D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Lauren Bock Mullin

Diadesmis brekkaensoides (BOCK) GERD MOSER, LANGE-BERTALOT et METZELTIN: a new aerophytic diatom for the Hungarian flora
No full textDiadesmis brekkaensoides (W. Bock) Moser, Lange-Bertalot et Metzeltin, a very rare aerophytic diatom
was found in the Kiskőhát shaft in the Bükk Mts. A dense population of algae, perfectly corresponding
with the original description of Bockin 1963, was found on a wet rockin the deep shadow.
So far, the author could not find more than two other reports of this species; the first one from the
Alps, the second one from New Caledonia
Are language production problems apparent in adults who no longer meet diagnostic criteria for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder?
No full textIn this study, we examined sentence production in a sample of adults (N = 21) who had had attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as children, but as adults no longer met DSM-IV diagnostic criteria (APA, 2000). This “remitted” group was assessed on a sentence production task. On each trial, participants saw two objects and a verb. Their task was to construct a sentence using the objects as arguments of the verb. Results showed more ungrammatical and disfluent utterances with one particular type of verb (i.e., participle). In a second set of analyses, we compared the remitted group to both control participants and a “persistent” group, who had ADHD as children and as adults. Results showed that remitters were more likely to produce ungrammatical utterances and to make repair disfluencies compared to controls, and they patterned more similarly to ADHD participants. Conclusions focus on language output in remitted ADHD, and the role of executive functions in language production

Schiffskollision, höhere Gewalt und autonome Schifffahrt ::eine deutsch-französische Untersuchung /
No full textFrom publisher's website: Samuel Vuattoux-Bock offers an interpretation of force majeure for autonomous shipping by examining their legal characteristics and their relationship in a French-German analysis. The author also proposes a new objective liability resulting from a ship collision and explores the design of force majeure in it.From publisher's website: Die autonome Schifffahrt wirft zahlreiche juristische Fragen auf. Samuel Vuattoux-Bock setzt sich mit der Frage der Haftung infolge einer Schiffskollision unter Beteiligung von autonomen Schiffen aus einer deutsch-französisch rechtsvergleichenden Perspektive auseinander. Die bisherigen Lösungen sehen einen Haftungsausschluss im Falle höherer Gewalt vor (IÜZ, BinSchG, Code des transports). Der Autor erforscht die rechtliche Beziehung zwischen den Merkmalen der höheren Gewalt (Unvorhersehbarkeit, Unvermeidbarkeit, äußere Ursache) und der autonomen Schifffahrt. Mithilfe einer deutsch-französischen Analyse bietet er eine Anpassung der Auslegung der höheren Gewalt für die autonome Schifffahrt an. De lege ferenda schlägt er eine neue objektive Haftung infolge einer Schiffskollision vor und untersucht die Gestaltung der höheren Gewalt in dieser neuen Haftung. Die vorgeschlagene Haftung findet ihre Grundlage in den rechtshistorischen Wurzeln des Seehandelsrechts (z.B. der Hanse) und ist durch ihre deutsch-französisch geprägte Ausgestaltung für eine internationale Harmonisierung geeignet
The calcium sensor CBL1 integrates plant responses to abiotic stresses
No full textCalcium ions represent both an integrative signal and an important convergence point of many disparate signaling pathways. Calcium-binding proteins, like calcineurin B-like (CBL) proteins, have been implicated as important relays in calcium signaling. Here, we report the in vivo study of CBL1 function in Arabidopsis. Analyses of loss-of-function as well as CBL1-overexpressing lines indicate a crucial function of this calcium sensor protein in abiotic stress responses. Mutation of CBL1 impairs plant responses to drought and salt stresses and affects gene expression of cold-regulated genes, but does not affect abscisic acid (ABA) responsiveness. Conversely, overexpression of CBL1 reduces transpirational water loss and induces the expression of early stress-responsive transcription factors and stress adaptation genes in non-stressed plants. Together, our data indicate that the calcium sensor protein CBL1 may constitute an integrative node in plant responses to abiotic stimuli and contributes to the regulation of early stress-related transcription factors of the C-Repeat-Binding Factor/dehydration-responsive element (CBF/DREB) type
