Status Of Women

Over the past twenty years, the status of women in higher education has improved, but only marginally so. As the political and social climate of the country has become more conservative, the concepts of affirmative action and equal opportunity for women and minorities have been challenged more than ever. In addition, although women are flocking to graduate schools in record numbers, only a small percentage of them are encouraged to seek positions in higher education as administrators or professors. Statistically, the situation is worse, especially for black women. This status report focuses on the following: (1) the role of affirmative action in the hiring and retention of women in higher education; (2) the environment that exists in colleges and universities in regard to women and minorities; (3) policies that adversely affect black women in academia; (4) existing rank and salary inequities of minority male and female professors; (5) a specific look at male and female professors of educational administration; and (6) implications and recommendations.

Every year the Swedish Higher Education Authority (UKÄ) publishes a comprehensive overview of higher education and research in Sweden in the form of an annual status report. The report deals with what has happened during the preceding year as well as long-term trends. We also make international comparisons. The report also includes a description of and facts about the Swedish system for higher education and research. The annual report of 2021, An Overview of Swedish Higher Education and Research 2021, includes effects of the coronavirus pandemic on higher education and research in Sweden in 2020.

Over Time

Writing remains a staple of academic evaluation instruments, and for good reason. Few other tools come close to writing in assessment of the student's ability to formulate coherent arguments, demonstrate critical thinking, and present explanations. Conscientious instructors mark-up and comment on student writing, evaluating its success in meeting content goals, structure, relevance of evidence, grammar, mechanics, and style. It is an exhausting and time-consuming process but remains the single best way to support developing writers and thinkers. Technology to detect patterns of errors and to offer feedback has evolved over time, but can the programs do what professors do? This chapter provides a status report on automated writing evaluation and its role in higher education. A balance can be struck between the efficiency of tech tools and professor judgment. Recommendations for automating and expediting the review of student writing are offered, with a focus on remote learning environments.

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has evolved rapidly in the past few years. Major developments have occurred in instrumentation, theory, and in a wide range of applications. In this paper, an overview of the application of STM and related techniques to polymers will be given, followed by a discussion of current research issues and prospects for future developments. The application of STM to polymers can be conveniently divided into the following subject areas: atomic scale imaging of uncoated polymer structures; topographic imaging and metrology of man-made polymer structures; and modification of polymer structures. Since many polymers are poor electrical conductors and hence unsuitable for use as a tunneling electrode, the related atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique which is capable of imaging both conductors and insulators has also been applied to polymers.The STM is well known for its high resolution capabilities in the x, y and z axes (Å in x andy and sub-Å in z). In addition to high resolution capabilities, the STM technique provides true three dimensional information in the constant current mode. In this mode, the STM tip is held at a fixed tunneling current (and a fixed bias voltage) and hence a fixed height above the sample surface while scanning across the sample surface.
