Riots and protests are becoming common once again. The research presented shows how park space can help foster diversity and in turn improve race relations in the Kansas City area. The study shows how communities in Kansas City became segregated based on historical laws, regulations, and common day practices that reinforced racial boundaries between communities.

Även om mångfald är ett ord som betyder mycket och betyder olika för olika människor framkommer det i denna uppsats att mångfald innehåller två viktiga begrepp, nämligen etnicitet och kön.

Abstract:

Nonprofit organizations play an important role in improving their communities. Their ability to meet community needs can be limited due to lack of diversity in their boards of directors, which can also affect equity, performance, and social justice. Procedures for harmonizing the diversity of nonprofit boards with their served community demographics are not well understood. This Delphi study investigated what strategies and practices nonprofit organizations could employ to promote greater diversity in their boards of directors.

In our first investigation we study the relationships between nine combination methods. Two data sets are used. We consider the overall accuracies of the combination methods, their improvement over the single best classifier, and the correlation between the ensemble outputs using the different combination methods. Next we introduce ten diversity measures. Using the same two data sets, we study the relationships between the diversity measures. Then w

Abstract:

Cultural diversity is a subject that has been getting growing attention not just internationally but also in Sweden in the 21st century. The globalization of economies and the migration has dramatically increased opportunities while also affecting organizations in a manner that it requires it to be more open and accommodative towards a heterogeneous working environment. Unfortunately many companies do not see the advantages that cultural diversity could bring and how a well managed cultural diversity could essentially achieve competitive edge in the market.

This thesis is a step forward in understanding the effects of demographic diversity (age, gender and ethnicity) through proposing an integrated multilevel framework at individual and group levels of analysis.

The findings suggest managers to understand the nesting phenomenon within work groups, demonstrate efforts to establish positive communication, and enhance social integration among workgroup members. Moreover, diversity training efforts need to focus on perceptions of gender diversity and age d

Bacteriophages are ubiquitous and abundant in nature, yet our knowledge of their ecology, global impact on the ecosystem, their relationships with one another, and their hosts remains relatively primitive.

Their acquisition or removal of genes between the phages themselves eventually determines their global impact. Therefore by examining their genomes will contribute to our understanding of their importance and potential impact on ecology as a whole. Previous studies have shown that bacterio

This was evident from discussions with the organisation's D&I manager and from the 2014 employee satisfaction survey.

This requires casting a critical eye over extant incarnations of pluralism, formulating new, stronger motivations in its favour, and defending it from objections.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine if speech language pathologists could reliably identify different perceptual variants of adductor spasmodic dysphonia (ADSD) using a classification system proposed by Bastian (2009). Audio samples of sustained vowel phonation, sentence production, passage reading, and conversation were pre-recorded from 16 patients with a primary diagnosis of spasmodic dysphonia. Four speech language pathologists specializing in voice disorders listened to the audio samples and identified the ADSD variant, the presence of co-occurring tremor, and overall severity of t

Abstract:

I microrganismi svolgono un ruolo fondamentale nella regolazione dei vari ecosistemi, rappresentando la maggior parte delle specie sulla Terra. Lo scopo di questa tesi di dottorato è stato quello di migliorare le conoscenze sulla diversità microbica e sulle dinamiche delle comunità microbiche in varie condizioni negli habitat in diversi processi biotecnologici nell ambito ambientale e industriale, nonché sulle interazioni microbiche utilizzando metodologie classiche e molecolari. Nella prima parte è stata valutata l'efficienza dei letti biologici (biobed) in area Mediterranea nella degradazio

Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 127-138).<br>Postcolonial theory has been critiqued for essentializing the North and being too theoretical. Yet it has also been described as essential for the ongoing decolonization of our world. Scholars in a range of disciplines have therefore suggested the need to 'examine specific practices and devises in particular times and places' in order to expose and challenge the ways that certain forms of discourse function to maintain imperialist interests and misrepresentations of Africa in the 'West.' To these ends, this study looks at the construction of

Abstract:

Previous research has explored children’s musical participation in relation to motivation, instrumental lessons, extracurricular activities and the historically low uptake of GCSE and A Level music. This ethnographic study set out to investigate pupils’ musical participation in different school settings, the musical culture within these schools and the place of music in children’s everyday lives, including the wider contexts of home and school. Observations, questionnaires, aural and photo elicitation and focus group interviews were conducted with pupils, parents and teachers and revealed more

Abstract:

This thesis will examine the organisational culture and work context at Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education (BIITE) as it relates to diversity management and cultural safety/identity. This research will have wider relevance as a means to understanding organisational cultures in a globalising world where cross cultural collaboration is becoming commonplace. The philosophical underpinnings of this project are critical and deconstructionist with a framework based on the principles of Participatory Action Research while simultaneously incorporating an autoethnographic component.

Abstract:

Understanding microbial evolution lies at the heart of microbiology and environmental sciences. Numerous studies have been dedicated to elucidating the underlying mechanisms that create microbial genetic diversity and adaptation. However, due to technical limitations such as the high level of uncultured cells in almost every natural habitat, most of current knowledge is primarily based on axenic cultures grown under laboratory conditions, which typically do not simulate well the natural environment. How well the knowledge from isolates translates to in-situ processes and natural microbial comm
