Abstract:
As mobility increases and virtual interactions grow, quickly adapting to diverse accents is essential for effective communication. While lab-based accent training promotes rapid adaptation to unfamiliar accents, whether prolonged environmental exposure to linguistic diversity yields similar benefits is unknown. We conducted a large-scale perceptual experiment involving 600 + participants across 15 U.S. states, utilizing a cross-modal word matching task to measure speech recognition in both non-native accented English and native English with background noise. Participants were recruited from linguistically diverse (LD) or linguistically homogeneous (LH) states. Linguistic diversity was defined based on the prevalence of non-English speaking residents (U.S. census data). Our findings were twofold: firstly, consistent with prior studies, only exposure to non-native accented speech—but not exposure to speech in noise—improved recognition of novel talkers with the same accent; secondly, individuals from the LD states outperformed those from LH areas in initial accented speech perception. However, by the end of the experiment, benefits from in-lab accent exposure did not differ significantly between the two groups, suggesting that short-term training could mitigate long-term environmental influences. These results illuminate the interplay between daily linguistic environments and accent adaptation, enhancing our understanding of speech perception's adaptivity in a multilingual context.

Abstract:
AI-powered listening trainers increasingly dominate language education, yet their accent selection remains biased toward Inner Circle Englishes (e.g., General American, RP). This study evaluates the impact of accent-diverse AI trainers on listening comprehension, anxiety reduction, and pragmatic competence. Using a mixed-methods approach with 412 intermediate learners (A2-B2), we tested an AI system exposing learners to 8 Global English accents (Nigeria, India, Singapore, Jamaica, Scotland, etc.). Quantitative results showed 23.7% higher comprehension accuracy (p<0.01) for diverse accents in international communication scenarios. Qualitatively, 81% reported reduced "accent anxiety." We further propose a decolonial data curation framework to mitigate algorithmic accent bias. Findings challenge the monolingual paradigm in AI listening tools and advocate for intentional accent diversity as a pedagogical imperative.

Abstract:
In this talk, I will discuss behavioral and electrophysiological studies that examine the extent to which perceived talker identity influences speech comprehension and evaluation. Two frequently discussed theoretical accounts lead to different predictions. Bias-based accounts assume conscious misunderstanding of a standard variety in the case of a speaker classification as nonnative, resulting in negative ratings and poorer comprehension. Exemplar-based models suggest that such effects arise only when a contextual cue to the social identity is misleading, i.e., when ethnicity and speech clash with listeners’ expectations. To address these accounts, and to assess ethnicity effects across different groups and methods, diverse non-university populations (172 monolinguals, 58 bilinguals, age range 12–92) were primed with photographs of Asian and white European women and asked to repeat and rate utterances spoken in three accents (Korean-accented German, a regional German accent, standard German), all embedded in background noise. In three electrophysiological studies, students (106 monolinguals, age range 18–30) passively listed to utterances in two accents (Turkish-accented and standard Dutch) and were either primed or not with photographs of a Turkic or a Dutch woman. The findings suggest that theoretical contradictions are a consequence of methodological choices, which reflect distinct aspects of social information processing.

Abstract:
With the demographic shifts in the United States, it is increasingly the case that speech-language pathologists (SLPs) come from different language backgrounds from those of their clients and have nonnative accents in their languages of service. An anonymous web-based survey was completed by students and clinic directors in SLP training programs in New York State regarding their beliefs about the appropriate scope of practice of SLPs with accents in English and other languages. Responses were received from 28 directors and 530 students. Perceived appropriateness of service by accented clinicians depended on particular disorders serviced and degree of accent, with phonologically based services believed by the greatest number of respondents to require more native-like speech than other areas. Further efforts must be made to research effects of SLPs’ accents on service delivery and plan strategies, if needed, for successful service provision in SLPs’ diverse areas of practice when mismatches in language backgrounds occur.

Abstract:
Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the language attitudes toward accented speech in the workplace in Switzerland. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: Language attitudes toward accented speech in the workplace in Switzerland reveals a nuanced perception influenced by the country's multilingual environment. Studies indicate that individuals with native Swiss German accents tend to receive higher professionalism ratings compared to those with foreign accents, reflecting a bias that aligns with local linguistic preferences. Additionally, accents from non-European languages often face stigmatization, leading to perceptions of reduced competence and credibility. However, some findings suggest that exposure to diverse accents can foster greater acceptance and appreciation over time, particularly in multicultural workplaces. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social identity theory, linguistic accommodation theory & perception theory may be used to anchor future studies on the language attitudes toward accented speech in the workplace in Switzerland. Organizations should develop clear guidelines for performance evaluations that eliminate the subjective influence of accent bias. Organizations should establish policies that mandate participation in diversity training for all employees, including during onboarding and ongoing professional development.

Abstract This study explores the implicit language attitudes of a sample of 84 young Coloured South Africans towards two historically White accents in the country: the Standard South African English accent and Afrikaans-accented English. In order to shed light on the role of language in the process of social categorization among the younger generations, I present a mixed-methodological approach that investigates the interrelation between the results of an Implicit Association Test (IAT) towards the two selected accents and the participants’ linguistic background, language exposure, and social distance levels. Within the target demographic, the data confirm the existence of an overall positive implicit attitude towards Standard South African English, although positive attitudes towards Afrikaans-accented English were not uncommon. Correlations between IAT effect and the variables “social distance levels with Whites” and “places of residence” provide potential explanations and valuable sociolinguistic information about the language dynamics in this diverse ethnic group.

Abstract:
Purpose: Communication and psychosocial challenges are associated with processing regional or foreign accents. These challenges result in discrimination, marginalization, and reduced opportunities for culturally, linguistically, or racially diverse people. As a departure from the controversial approaches of training speakers to speak more effectively, this paper presents an innovative and effective methodology to train listeners instead and make the communication environment more “accent friendly”. Built upon two decades of testing and evidence, the Foreign Accent Perception & Sensitivity Training (FAPST)TM is used to develop skills in listening to accents, reducing implicit biases, and increasing appreciation and enjoyment for interacting with accents and cultures. Methodology: 320 undergraduate students from eight sections of a Diversity Issues course were provided the FAPST training online that included 15-20 minutes of gamified experience, over four weeks, in listening and identifying 54 varieties of accent in a structured, multimedia procedure. Assessments included weekly Accent Identification Scores as well as a pre- and post-survey using the CCQ tool to assess listeners’ baseline knowledge, attitudes, stereotypes, preferences, and skills related to processing accents. They also received formative assessments, feedback, and engaged in self-reflections. Results: Paired t-tests showed significant improvement in Accent Identification Scores which increased from 52% in week 1 and reached 75% by week 4, significant at p <0.05 level. The post-training CCQ survey results showed that Factual Knowledge scores improved significantly from 42% to 78%, Stereotypes scores reduced significantly from 89% to 22%, and Competence scores improved significantly from 23% to 76%. Participants reported increased confidence in listening accuracy and improvement in noticing details in accent patterns. Participants reported increased interest and willingness to interact with diversity. Participants also reported increased awareness of discrimination, and willingness to show allyship and advocacy for diverse individuals. Conclusion: This project confirmed that students have preconceived attitudes and biases as well as lower skills and confidence in interacting with diversity and accents which factor in their decisions and preferences to communicate with people with certain accents. It becomes imperative to set students up for success and engagement in a globalized world by training them with skills to navigate diversity. Results show that such a training improves listening accuracy as well as develops increased confidence and interest in engaging with diversity, while reducing implicit biases and stereotypes, along with increased factual knowledge of, and competence with accents.

Abstract:
This study investigates the perception of simultaneous interpreting (SI) quality among accented Mandarin interpreters in Taiwan. Four hundred Taiwanese individuals were recruited online for a controlled experiment, where participants were randomly assigned, in equal numbers, to listen to one of four SI versions. Each version was distinguished solely by accent: Taiwan Mandarin, Chinese Standard Mandarin, Malaysian Mandarin, and US-accented Mandarin. Subsequently, participants were asked to evaluate the SI quality using a nine-item questionnaire, and optional comment sections were available for them to provide written feedback. Ratings were analyzed quantitatively, while comments were subjected to qualitative analysis. Results indicate that SI quality was evaluated less favorably in terms of comprehensibility and performance satisfaction with increasing markedness of accent. The Chinese Standard Mandarin accent was regarded as the suitable stylistic choice because of its “standard” prestige. However, it also faced some criticism, particularly for what certain participants perceived as mispronunciations. Among the non-Taiwanese Mandarin accents, Malaysian Mandarin was perceived as the most favorable for comprehensibility and satisfaction, likely due to its perceived similarities with Taiwan Mandarin. In contrast, American-accented Mandarin received the lowest ratings for comprehensibility. Nevertheless, there was a general sense of support for the US interpreter, possibly suggesting that perceived deficiencies in SI were attributed to factors beyond the interpreter’s control, such as their non-native background, as inferred from their accent. This study reveals that accent significantly influences interpreting quality perceptions, challenging prior beliefs of its minimal impact and underscoring its importance in interpreter training and development. The interpreting market is affected by complex dynamics involving diverse stakeholder biases towards accents, so interpreters face the dual challenge of adapting to a neutral accent to satisfy client expectations while preserving their own accent identity. However, increasing global and local focus on linguistic diversity may enhance accent tolerance and reduce accent-based judgments.

Abstract:
The interlocutor's accent plays an important role in the listener's understanding. In the context of English education majors, introducing students to various accents can improve listening comprehension and prepare them to be able to communicate globally. This research aims to identify the accents that students like, as well as the reasons behind their preferences. The study employs a quantitative approach, utilizing a survey method with a structured questionnaire and rating scale to validate the results. The researchers employed a cluster sampling technique, selecting participants from a class who were enrolled in an introductory listening class at an English department class at a private university in Malang. Respondents were asked to evaluate five English accents, namely, Indian, Thai, Indonesian, American, and Korean, through videos provided. The findings showed that the Indonesian accent was the most preferred due to its clarity and familiarity with the students' language backgrounds, while the Thai accent was the least preferred because the pronunciation and word stress were difficult to understand. The results of this study highlight the need to integrate local and foreign accents in listening materials to cultivate comprehensive listening skills. This study contributes to the understanding of Indonesian EFL learners’ perceptions and preferences regarding foreign English accents, which has important implications for the design of listening materials and teaching strategies. By recognizing learners’ accent preferences and challenges, more effective and culturally inclusive approaches can be developed to improve students’ listening skills and intercultural competence in diverse English-speaking contexts.

Abstract:
Accent is a person's distinct manner of speaking a particular language. It dramatically influences communication by producing pronunciation variations, which makes it challenging for automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems to understand spoken language accurately. The growing need for more accurate speech recognition technology means that improving machines' capability to classify and recognize accents becomes an essential challenge in speech processing. In response to this problem, this paper reviews previous studies on accent classification models. It discusses the principal methodologies used in this research, including datasets, preprocessing techniques, feature extraction, evaluation metrics and classification methods based on traditional machine learning (TML) and deep learning (DL) techniques utilized for accent recognition. The review includes journal articles and conference proceedings published between 2015 and 2025, emphasizing recent years. Relevant articles were sourced from leading academic databases and platforms, including Scopus, IEEE, Springer, MDPI, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate. The study concludes by identifying key research gaps and proposing future directions to advance accent recognition systems, offering valuable guidance for addressing current challenges and exploring innovative methodologies. A comparative analysis shows that the k-NN is the most effective traditional machine learning (TML) classifier. Among DL models, the pre-trained xResNet18 model outperforms other deep learning (DL) models when applied to well-structured English accent datasets while CNN achieves higher accuracy for datasets with diverse English accents but relatively small dataset sizes. Additionally, the fine-tuned transformer Wav2Vec2 achieves higher overall accuracy using a balanced and diverse dataset of six English accents, demonstrating strong performance in raw audio-based accent classification.

Abstract:
Ubiquitous connectivity plays an important role in improving the quality of life in terms of economic development, health and well being, social justice and equity, as well as in providing new educational opportunities. However, rural communities which account for 46% of the world's population lacks access to proper connectivity to avail such societal benefits, creating a huge "digital divide" between the urban and rural areas. A primary reason is that the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) providers have less incentives to invest in rural areas due to lack of promising revenue returns. Existing research and industrial attempts in providing connectivity to rural communities suffer from severe drawbacks, such as expensive wireless spectrum licenses and infrastructures, under- and over-provisioning of spectrum resources while handling heterogeneous traffic, lack of novel wireless technologies tailored to the unique challenges and requirements of rural communities (e.g., agricultural fields). Leveraging the recent advances in Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) technologies like wide band spectrum analyzers and spectrum access systems, and multi-radio access technologies (multi-RAT), this dissertation proposes a novel Diverse Band-aware DSA (d-DSA) network architecture, that addresses the drawbacks of existing standard and DSA wireless solutions, and extends ubiquitous connectivity to rural communities; a step forward in the direction of the societal and economic improvements in rural communities, and hence, narrowing the "digital divide" between the rural and urban societies. According to this paradigm, a certain wireless device is equipped with software defined radios (SDRs) that are capable of accessing multiple (un)licensed spectrum bands, such as, TV, LTE, GSM, CBRS, ISM, and possibly futuristic mmWaves. In order to fully exploit the potential of the d-DSA paradigm, while meeting heterogeneous traffic demands that may be generated in rural communities, we design efficient routing strategies and optimization techniques, which are based on a variety of tools such as graph modeling, integer linear programming, dynamic programming, and heuristic design. Our results on realistic traces in a large variety of rural scenarios show that the proposed techniques are able to meet the heterogeneous traffic requirements of rural applications, while ensuring energy efficiency and robustness of the architecture for providing connectivity to rural communities.

Abstract:
<p> Racial disparities have been, and continue to be, a major obstacle facing post-secondary educational institutions throughout the United States. In response to the call for institutional and external accountability by stakeholders interested in higher education, the aim of this dissertation is to provide an historical analysis of race and diversity at the University of Colorado Boulder (UCB). UCB was chosen as the focus for the current study because it is the flagship public university in the state of Colorado and is recognized as such by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE). In order to relay the history of UCB accurately, a wide variety of sources are utilized, some published and others unpublished, including information obtained from the university's archives. Data collected in this study provide evidence of the lower college admission, retention, and graduation rates of minority (African American and Hispanic) students when compared to White and Asian students at the University of Colorado Boulder. Factors that contribute to the success of minority students on college campuses in general provide a starting point from which efforts being made to rectify the racial disparities present today at UCB can be assessed and analyzed in hopes of creating a campus environment to which minority students are attracted, admitted, retained, and graduated. As the higher education community of scholars continues to embrace the crucial role of diversity on college campuses and as the use of race-conscious educational policy continues to be threatened, this study highlights the role universities play in the larger debate. As UCB has historically struggled to attract, retain, and graduate students of color, I expect that a thorough examination of the data included here will inspire educational stakeholders to find new ways to provide new opportunities for educational advancement for minorities and seek to erase all evidence of a racial achievement gap into the future.</p>

Abstract:
Although members of the United Kingdom (UK) South Asian population appear to have an elevated risk of developing dementia, this population accesses dementia services less frequently, compared with the majority white population. The disparity between the prevalence of people with dementia and the reported incidence of dementia, especially among South Asian populations (the UK‟s largest ethnic minority), is of concern to public health service providers. This study aimed to identify the socio-cultural issues in accessing dementia services in the population living in Blackburn with Darwen [BwD], in the Northwest of England. This qualitative study explores how members of the BwD South Asian Indian and Pakistani population perceive dementia, and how their family members engage with local dementia care services and with healthcare professionals providing dementia services. Data collection included: three focus groups with thirteen people involved in a community project; two interviews with people living with dementia and their family members; and eight interviews with nine dementia services healthcare professionals [HCPs]. The data was analysed using thematic analysis. The findings suggest that members of the South Asian population are under-represented in dementia diagnostic services. Firstly, this appears to be due to a lack of knowledge in the Muslim South Asian Indian and Pakistani community about the nature of dementia. Various negative perceptions of dementia, influenced by cultural beliefs, were also identified which lead to people with dementia being stigmatised and hidden from public view by their families. This may explain why health professionals report that this population seeks help at a later stage of the illness, and thus there is an argument for public health services to develop culturally relevant outreach programmes.

Abstract:
This study evaluated the associations of individual and neighborhood level risk factors with physical health, mental health, and stress in a diverse urban county. Relatively little research has attempted to disentangle the interactive individual characteristics and neighborhood conditions underlying health outcomes and disparities. To address this, survey data were collected and analyzed from 1,107 residents living in one of the 114 census tracts in DeKalb County, GA. Using multilevel structural equation modeling techniques, this study found that neighborhood level measures of the social and built environment were not associated with the health outcomes under study after controlling for neighborhood level income and education. Alternatively, individual level perceptions of the social and built environment and measures of access to health care were significantly associated with physical health, mental health, and perceived stress. This study also found that the association between low individual income and poor physical health was more pronounced for participants who lived in low-income neighborhoods than participants who lived in high-income neighborhoods. Additionally, this study found that Black residents reported significantly better mental health compared to White residents when they lived in high-income neighborhoods, and Black participants reported significantly more stress compared to White participants when they lived in low-income neighborhoods. Results of this study further scientific understanding of the role of neighborhood processes in health disparities and potentially help inform the development of programs and policies related to neighborhood conditions and health disparities.

Full text
Abstract:
The "college-for-all" norm encourages all students to attend college, and while rising college ambitions point to the effectiveness of this encouragement, differences by race and income in who goes to the most selective institutions and who actually graduates from those institutions point to persistent inequalities. With few exceptions, the majority of research on college access has focused more on documenting these inequalities and less on explaining how students end up in their respective institutions. In particular, we lack in-depth examinations of how students navigate the college admissions process, which represents one of the last hurdles between students and college attendance. Considering the increasingly complex nature of college admissions, especially for the most elite schools, the application process is a key gate-keeping mechanism in the reproduction of inequality in higher education, both in terms of who attends college and whether or not they finish (vertical stratification) and what kind of school they enroll in (horizontal stratification). My dissertation delves into this process and finds that institutions such as universities and high schools tend to reinforce disadvantages by failing to adjust their messages for different student populations. All students in my study are fed high college aspirations, but not all have the same "college knowledge." When less advantaged students attempt to pursue the dominant college pathway, like they see so many of their peers successfully navigating, they meet with unrealized aspirations and college "under-matching." Though interest in under-matching and horizontal stratification in higher education is growing, we know very little about the processes that lead to these outcomes. Drawing on extensive field research at two high schools and interviews with 137 respondents, I examine the three stages of the college-choice process – aspirations, search, and choice. I examine how institutional forces, such as high school organization and culture and higher educational marketing, lead students to engage in the college application process in very different ways during each of the three stages. I argue that the first step towards understanding more about why low-income and minority students struggle to graduate college is to look at the circumstances under which they made their college choices.<br>Sociology

Dans un contexte où il est préférable de limiter les quantités de principes actifs, aussi bien dans les médicaments que dans les produits phytosanitaires, il est important de développer des produits dont l’activité biologique est augmentée. Pour ce faire, il est possible d’utiliser des hétérocycles aromatiques contenant des groupements fluorés. Ainsi, nous nous sommes intéressés au développement de voies d’accès à des building blocks hétéroaromatiques portant divers groupements fluorés afin de fournir de nouvelles possibilités pour la préparation de composés d’intérêt thérapeutique et phytosanitaire. Trois projets ont été réalisés, et ont résulté en la préparation efficace de pyridines comportant des groupements trifluorométhoxy, chlorodifluorométhoxy et dichlorofluorométhoxy.

Abstract:
This study examined whether Latino immigrants’ community environment influenced perceptions about the meaning of mental health and accessing mental health services. The two environments analyzed in were an exclusively Latino community (primarily Latino members) and a diverse community (composed of different ethnicities including Latinos). The research method used in this study was a qualitative survey design. A semi-structured interview guideline with questions on the meaning of mental health, mental health services access, and community norms on mental health was utilized with 24 respondents. Responses were then analyzed to find themes. Findings from this study found similarities as well as differences in the two groups in seeking mental health services. Differences were more commonly in the details of the responses rather than in the themes of the responses. The finding will help social workers, who provide a large percentage of mental health services, understand the individual, the barriers, and the importance of social environments in seeking mental health services.

Via verde e via d’oro. Le politiche open access dell’Università di Firenze affronta il poliedrico tema dell’accesso libero e gratuito alla conoscenza. L’open access è un movimento nato nel secolo scorso con lo scopo di potenziare la diffusione dell’informazione scientifica. Negli ultimi dieci anni il movimento ha visto una crescita di interesse legata alle prese di posizioni dei più importanti istituti di ricerca mondiali e agli interventi legislativi di organi politici e accademici.

Stephens, Keri K. Mobile Communication Comparisons Between Diverse Workers. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190625504.003.0011.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter combines the data from all the workers (150 different people across 35 diverse occupations) whose stories have been shared in this book. From the examination of the characteristics of specific jobs that influence mobile communication at work, four categories emerge: autonomy, mobility, task variability, and communication focus. People who have low autonomy in doing their work typically have predictable times when they have mobile access—breaks—but spend the bulk of their days without that access. Workers with a high degree of autonomy are reachable more often, but their access isn’t necessarily predictable: they might be in a closed-door meeting. It’s acceptable to use mobile devices when employees enjoy higher autonomy, more mobility, and task variability. But people who do repetitive jobs, work in a single location, and have little autonomy are more subject to managerial control and have fewer times where their mobile use is considered acceptable.

Lee, Won W., ed. The Oxford Handbook of the Bible in Korea. Oxford University Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190916916.001.0001.

Full text
Abstract:
Korean Christianity is known around the world for rapid growth, conservative theological orientation, participation in political struggles (Japanese occupation, divided into two Koreas, military dictatorships), and missionary spirit, as well as schism, materialism, and secularization. This reputation is intimately and inextricably tied to how faith communities in Korea and Korean diaspora use the Bible in their religiocultural, sociopolitical, and immigrant contexts. In this Handbook, noted theologically diverse scholars offer representative thinking on creative inculturations of the Bible in Korea. Some conservatively align with received Western orthodoxy. Others have a sense of complementarity that informs distinctive accents of Korean Christianity, the long-standing religious traditions of Korea, the diversity of Korea’s global diaspora, and the learning of non-Koreans attentive to the impact of the Bible in Korea. Together, this volume presents an exquisite tapestry of Korean biblical interpretation in the making.

Full text
Abstract:
Effective cancer communication is crucial for both clinicians and patients, yet is often suboptimal. Health literacy—the ability to access, comprehend, evaluate, and communicate health information—is a latent factor that may contribute to ineffective medical interactions. Limited health literacy has been associated with significant negative health outcomes and higher medical costs. Given the compelling evidence that ethnically diverse populations are particularly vulnerable, we use a narrative case example—a hypothetical clinical meeting between an oncologist and a newly-diagnosed patient—to highlight how patient risk factors for low health literacy (e.g. age, language, distress, etc.) may be amplified by clinician and contextual factors (e.g. using medical jargon, complexity of patient educational materials, etc.). Finally, we re-imagine the same clinical encounter and illustrate how some simple strategies could ameliorate the effects of low health literacy and facilitate communication and patient decision-making.

Abstract:
This chapter reviews issues of psychosocial care in diverse communities. In the face of ongoing inequity, despite the Equality Act (2010), it analyses the concept of access as it impacts differentially on people from diverse communities. Suggesting that patient leadership, co-production, and compassionate community models of care are all vehicles by which to improve psychosocial care in the face of diminished resources and increased demand as a result of rising numbers of people dying and the need to respond to all who are dying based on need not on diagnosis or social circumstance. Despite a plethora of policy documents and legislation there are still significant numbers of people who are unable to access palliative care in general and specialist palliative care in particular.

Abstract:
&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Scientific research and development are essential in the government, private, and academic sectors of American society. Scientific collections, both living and non-living, are critical components of the U.S. government’s R&amp;D infrastructure, essential for ensuring national security, protecting the public’s health and safe food supply, promoting innovation and economic growth, and protecting the environment. To pursue their diverse long-term missions, U.S. departments and agencies have created and preserve scientific collections to address new and unpredictable challenges to society and to establish long-term baseline histories for the analysis of change, often using new analytical technologies. Federal scientific collections serve the public good by providing access to objects of scientific value regardless of where, when, by whom, or for what reasons they were originally collected and preserved. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;The White House National Science and Technology Council’s Interagency Working Group on Scientific Collections (IWGSC) has, since 2005, convened representatives from 24 Federal departments and agencies that rely on scientific collections. IWGSC has produced a series of studies, reports, and other information resources aimed at improving policies, transparency, accessibility, management, and the assessment of costs and benefits related to Federal scientific collections. This report summarizes these achievements and the IWGSC's future directions, and presents 21 case studies showing how Federal scientific collections have served the nation in diverse areas of American life. &lt;/p&gt;

Full text
Abstract:
Philosophically speaking, the question “What are the ethical implications of understanding breast cancer?” raises a host of issues, including informed consent, risk assessment, and access to breast cancer care. What we find is that, initially, there are adequate guidelines for informed consent, adequate efforts to develop risk assessment measures, and a decent level of access to breast cancer care in the United States. But things can be improved from an ethical standpoint. Upon reflection, the informed consent process would benefit from a more explicit discussion of uncertainty in breast cancer medicine and the ways breast cancer patients make decisions about their care. Risk assessments would benefit from a more personalized approach. Access to breast cancer care could be improved by continued studies of the diverse forces that limit access to proper breast cancer care.

Perceptions of Democracy: A Survey about How People Assess Democracy around the World. International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.31752/idea.2024.24.

Full text
Abstract:
Data from the Perceptions of Democracy Survey (PODS) point to three broad findings. First, most people from a diverse array of countries around the world lack confidence in the performance of their political institutions and their access to them, and they are more dissatisfied than satisfied with their governments. Second, self-identified minorities, women and low-income groups tend to perceive more obstacles to access and are generally more doubtful about institutional performance. Third, expert views and popular perceptions about how political institutions are doing do not always align. People are generally much more sceptical than experts. This report is the first in a planned series. Future reports will focus on the analysis of some of the other questions in the survey, which focus on political activities and engagement, access to public goods, beliefs about society and government, opinions on how laws should be made, and a broad range of values.

Full text
Abstract:
Background Gender-diverse patients (GDP) face barriers in healthcare, including discrimination and limited access to preventive care. Nursing curricula often lack GDP health content, leaving students underprepared to provide equitable care. This QI project aimed to improve RN-BSN students' self-efficacy and comfort in caring for GDP by integrating an educational module into their coursework. Methods A literature review revealed the need for increased education on GDP healthcare needs. An evidence-based educational module including a recorded presentation and an interactive case study was developed and implemented in an online course. Thirty-three RN-BSN students completed the module and pre- and post-intervention surveys, measuring interpersonal comfort (TABS) and self-efficacy (SEST). Changes in attitudes and beliefs were analyzed. Results The results demonstrated statistically significant improvements in students' recognition of non-binary identities and cultural self-awareness. The median SEST score increased significantly from 9.07 to 9.38 (p = .003), and notable gains were observed in students' ability to appreciate and recognize cultural nuances in healthcare. Conclusions The QI project highlights the importance of integrating LGBTQ health education into nursing curricula to address knowledge gaps and improve attitudes toward GDP care. Despite not meeting all objectives, the intervention yielded significant insights and positive shifts in attitudes, suggesting the need for broader implementation and further refinement of educational tools. IRB Approval IRB approval through exempt review. Co-Authors Miriam Butler, DNP, NP-C, FNP-BC; Lea Wood, DNP, MSN-RN; Anne Heyen, DNP-RN, CNE; Jan Sherman, PhD, RN, NNP-BC Learning Objective Describe the impact of targeted education on nursing students' self-efficacy in providing culturally competent care to gender-diverse patients.

Abstract:
It might be assumed churches coming from diverse cultural backgrounds would also express notable differences in how they conceptualize, operate, and envision the role of church, especially during times of crisis. However, despite having differing access to resources and levels of technological preparedness, this study found that congregations from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds in Indiana responded surprisingly similar to the digital shift that was required of their congregations during the Covid-19 pandemic. In our study of Indiana churches use of technology during the pandemic, we found White, African American and Multicultural congregations all approached digital technology as an essential “tool” to be used to solve the problem of sustaining weekly gatherings. The only notable difference was a slight shift between 2020 to 2021 in African American congregations manifested in their perceptions of technology. These congregations began the pandemic conceptualizing technology as a simple tool to help them replicate in-person gatherings, but a year later they primarily saw technology as an innovative way to build new community connections. Interestingly, a similar shift in perspective was not noted amongst White congregations.

Abstract:
The Center of Legal Practices is intended to guarantee law students a field of experience and knowledge that constitutes possibilities for the articulation of theory and practice, in order to develop skills, habits, and attitudes relevant and necessary for the acquisition of professional skills. On the theoretical side, it seeks to give opportunities for law school students, both UNIARP and University Center of Brusque Center of Legal Practices to work in simulated civil, criminal, and labor practice, in order to develop the skills and knowledge necessary for the performance of various legal branches in the practice of law. On the practical side, currently, the NPJ handles lawsuits involving the most diverse civil areas. The mission of these centers is to increase access to justice, assist in the dejudicialization process, and through its conciliation projects, seek the resolution of conflicts through alternative resolution methods. In this way, the Centers for Legal practice do not only have value as an instrument for training future lawyers, but have a societal function as well, in particular, to make legal counsel more accessible.
