Unpacking the Status-Leveling Burden for Women in Male-Dominated Occupations

The challenges faced by women in male-dominated occupations are often attributed to the men in, and masculine cultures of, these occupations—and sometimes to senior women in these occupations who may fail to give a “leg up” to the women coming up behind them. As such, prior research has largely focused on challenges that women experience from those of higher or equal status within the occupation and on the negative climate that surrounds women in these positions. We introduce a novel challenge, the status-leveling burden, which is the pressure put on women in male-dominated occupations from women in occupations lower in the institutional hierarchy to be their equal. Drawing on interviews with 45 surgeons, we present a model that unpacks this status-leveling burden. Our research makes novel contributions to the literatures on challenges to women in male-dominated occupations and on shared demography in cross-occupational collaboration, and it suggests new avenues for research at the intersection of gender and occupational status in the workplace.

Exploring students' perceptions and opinions about an institutional hierarchy of healthcare professionals and its impact on their inter- professional learning outcomes

Context: Institutional hierarchy is a phenomenon associated with clinical tribalism. Inter-professional learning is thought to improve a healthcare team's collaboration and communication. Aim: The aim was to evaluate student understanding of institutional hierarchy and perceptions and opinions on their participation in inter-professional learning. Method: Using a questionnaire, this study gathered the opinions of fourth year pharmacy students who had completed two inter-professional learning sessions. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted. Results: Students (87.7%, n=50) were aware of the institutional hierarchy concept, listing the order as doctors, pharmacists, nurses then allied health. 61.4% (n=35) were willing to participate in inter-professional learning sessions. Students (70.1%, n=40) agreed that inter-professional learning sessions have added benefit to patient-centred care, and to understanding different healthcare roles in depth (82.5%, n=47) but failed in diminution of the hierarchical ideology. Conclusions: Inter-professional learning sessions did not change students' opinions about posiGoning of doctors as the top of the healthcare institutional hierarchy.

Revolution Without Revolutionaries: Interrogating the Return of Monetary Financing

This paper disentangles the claims that we are witnessing a revolution in central banking - the return of large interventions in government bond markets.It argues that not all central bank purchases of government bonds are alike, but they should be evaluated against the objectives of the interventions and the broader macro-financial setup of the economy. It distinguishes two regimes of monetary financing – shadow vs subordinated – across objectives of intervention, targets, institutional hierarchy, macroeconomic paradigm, and accumulation regime/distribution of political power. Shadow monetary financing, it argues, offers a weak framework for monetary-fiscal interactions, one that actively undermines both the rethink of fiscal rules, and fiscal support for the low-carbon transition.

A könyvtári együttműködés informatikai támogatása: adatmodell, workflow, rendszerfelépítés: Együttműködési lehetőségek a nyílt forráskódú platformokban: OKP, FOLIO, ReShare

An essential goal of library informatics is to create open-source systems through community collaboration. Primary examples of open solution Integrated Library Systems, such as KOHA, Evergreen, or the Open Library Environment (Kuali OLE), have been born out of this notion. Since 2016, the librarian and developer professional communities have been working together to take this framework to a higher level. Building on learnings from prior system developments, a new modular, micro-service based platform was created. The platform was named FOLIO, short for ’The Future of Libraries is Open’, to reflect its open and flexible nature. Today, FOLIO platform and its relevant modules are widely used by a number of medium-sized and national libraries (e.g. the Italian National Library in Florence). The objectives of the Hungarian National Library Platform (HNLP) development, launched in 2016, are very much in alignment with the above: to re-conceptualise services offered by national libraries, to explore new ways of collaboration, to revolutionise common catalogue and interlibrary loan, and to make entity-based data connections available beyond the world outside libraries through integration to the Hungarian National Namespace. And first and foremost, to offer the most advanced services and state-of-the-art IT technology to library users. The National Széchényi Library Hungary has been part of the FOLIO community since its inception, to have a stake in its strategic direction and to benefit from the developments taking place internationally. Our long-term vision is to enable seamless module compatibility between the two systems so that libraries can use a flexible configuration that best serves their needs. The main pillars of the development are identical for both FOLIO and HNLP: (i) an entity-based data model, (ii) the creation of a meaning-based integrated architecture through modularity for any number of institutions and any institutional hierarchy, and (iii) the free configurability of workflows across the system / flexible workflow design. Where are HNLP, FOLIO and ReShare, the major collaborative module for interlibrary loan of the latter on this path right now? What solutions are provided for the basic pillars, and what objectives are still to be achieved?

El Protocolo como Acto de Comunicación Organizacional en la Gestión de los Públicos | The Protocol as an Act of Organizational Communication in Public Management

Las relaciones públicas desempeñan un papel muy relevante en la gestión de los públicos. Una de las actividades más significativas es la organización de actos como técnica del protocolo. El protocolo desempeña tres elementos esenciales como son la ordenación de las personas, de los espacios y de los tiempos. Todo ello con una serie de criterios de relevancia, comunicativos y de aplicación de la normativa.En este sentido, esta propuesta persigue analizar un acto de protocolo oficial en uno de los días que más controversia genera en España como es el Día de la Hispanidad. Para ello, se analiza ese acto durante el periodo 2012-2017 con los objetivos de conocer qué participantes políticos participan, cómo se ordenan las autoridades y qué normativa se aplica.Los resultados muestran que la actualidad política condiciona el grado de información y participación de los participantes sociales y políticos, que las autoridades asisten en aplicación del protocolo oficial y que la normativa de aplicación es el Real Decreto de Precedencias que jerarquiza la posición de las instituciones públicas como son la Jefatura del Estado como anfitrión y una jerarquía institucional que antepone el poder ejecutivo, seguido del legislativo y el judicial.________________________Public relations play a very important role in public management. One of the most significant activities is the organization of acts as the protocol technique. The protocol plays three essential elements such as the ordination of people, of the spaces and times. All this with some criteria of relevance, of communicative and of application of the norms.In this sense, this proposal aims to analyse an act of official protocol in one of the days that generates the most controversy in Spain as is the “Hispanic Day”. So, this event is analysed during the period 2012 – 2017 with the objectives of knowing which political participants participate, how the authorities are ordered and what regulations are applied.The results show that the current political situation conditions the degree of information and participation of the social and political participants, that the authorities are assisting in the application of the official protocol and that the implementing legislation is the Royal Decree of Precedence that ranks the position of public institutions such as the Head of State as host and an institutional hierarchy that puts the executive power first, followed by the legislative and the judiciary.

The included outlaw

This article presents an analysis of Amalie Skram’s 1895 novel Professor Hieronimus, with an emphasis on the seclusion aspect of this patient narrative. In the article, I give a close reading of the novel where I make use of insights from theorists from different disciplines, such as Shoshana Felman, Erving Goffman and Giorgio Agamben. The intent of the analysis, is to show how Skram manages to expose the rigid social categories that characterize the total institution in which the novel’s protagonist, Else Kant, claims to be wrongfully lodged. Through a critical assessment of the institutional hierarchy, both social and medical, Amalie Skram makes her novel well-suited for the type of interdisciplinary readings that in the last couples of decades have expanded and become more accessible, thanks in part to the emergence of the field of literature and medicine. This development grants us the opportunity to revisit the works of the Scandinavian literary canon with a fresh theoretical perspective, where fiction bears the potential to articulate aspects of the patient experience that has yet to be encapsulated by theory. This article shows how this phenomenon includes studies that are not limited to this interdisciplinary field alone, meaning that a complex patient narrative such as Skram’s Professor Hieronimus is accessible to a broader theoretical material as well.

Understanding plagiarism in Indonesia from the lens of plagiarism policy: lessons for universities

Plagiarism is viewed as a critical issue that can hinder the development of creativity and innovation in Indonesia. Thus, since the early 2000s the Indonesian government has endeavoured to develop policies to address this issue. In response to national policy, Indonesian educational institutions have made serious institutional efforts to address the plagiarism issue. Research in the Indonesian Higher education context on plagiarism has focussed on reporting prevention and mitigation efforts. However, little has been discussed about the communication of these efforts in policy across the different institutional levels of Indonesian Higher Education. This study aims at exploring the anti-plagiarism efforts by determining the main features (or discourses) reflected in plagiarism policy in Indonesian HE from national to institutional level. Two web-based resources namely the official website of The General Directorate of Research, Technology and Higher Education (retrieved 2015), and the website of Bandung Institute of Technology (retrieved 2015) were used to ascertain the most appropriate policies to include in the study. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) was used to reach explanatory understanding of how the policies (discursive events) demonstrate through their linguistic repetitions and other forms intertextuality, their relative positions within the Indonesian Higher Education institutional hierarchy and consequently provide some insight into the social practices and understandings of plagiarism underlying the creation of the documents. This study revealed that perhaps because of the rigid boundaries and hierarchies represented between the documents, the university policy does not show much transformation from the documents at a Ministry level, hence the definition of plagiarism remains broad and the levels of plagiarism and sanctions for plagiarism remain undefined. This can potentially lead to inconsistencies in developing effective practices preventing plagiarism.
