  • Species Assessment for Jair Underwing
    Species Status Assessment Class: Lepidoptera Family: Noctuidae Scientific Name: Catocala jair Common Name: Jair underwing Species synopsis: Two subspecies of Catocala exist-- Catocala jair and Catocala jair ssp2. Both occur in New York. Subspecies 2 has seldom been correctly identified leading to false statements that the species is strictly Floridian. Nearly all literature on the species neglects the widespread "subspecies 2." Cromartie and Schweitzer (1997) had it correct. Sargent (1976) discussed and illustrated the taxon but was undecided as to whether it was C. jair. It has also been called C. amica form or variety nerissa and one Syntype of that arguably valid taxon is jair and another is lineella. The latter should be chosen as a Lectotype to preserve the long standing use of jair for this species. Both D.F. Schweitzer and L.F. Gall have determined that subspecies 2 and typical jair are conspecific. The unnamed taxon should be named but there is little chance it is a separate species (NatureServe 2012). I. Status a.

  • THE BASIC SOCIAL PROCESSES of WOMEN in the MILITARY Manda V. Hicks a Dissertation Submitted T
    NEGOTIATING GENDERED EXPECTATIONS: THE BASIC SOCIAL PROCESSES OF WOMEN IN THE MILITARY Manda V. Hicks A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2011 Committee: Sandra Faulkner, Advisor Melissa K. Miller, Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Gorsevski Linda Dixon Vikki Krane ii ABSTRACT Sandra L. Faulkner, Advisor This research identifies the basic social processes for women in the military. Using grounded theory and feminist standpoint theories, I interviewed 38 active-duty and veteran service women. Feminist standpoint theories argue that within an institution, people who are the minority, oppressed, or disenfranchised will have a greater understanding of the institution than those who are privileged by it. Based on this understanding of feminist standpoint theories, this research argues that female service members will have a more expansive and diverse understanding of gender and military culture than male service members. I encouraged women to tell the story of their military experience and used analysis of narrative to identify the core categories of joining, learning, progressing, enduring, and ending. For women service members, the core variable of negotiating gendered expectations occurred throughout the basic social processes and primarily involved life choices, abilities, and sexual agency. This research serves as a forum for the lived experience of women in the military; through these articulations a set of particular standpoints regarding gender, war, and military culture emerge. Additionally, these data offer useful approaches to operating within male- dominated institutions and provide productive strategies for avoiding and challenging discrimination, harassment, and assault.

While each undergraduate is assigned an Advising Dean in the Center for Student Advising, pre-health professions students are also expected to work directly with a premed adviser throughout their time at Columbia. We hope that you find this booklet helpful and look forward to getting to know you! Medical education in the United States falls into three distinct stages: undergraduate studies, medical school, and residency training. The undergraduate education focuses on coursework which provides the foundational concepts necessary for your success in medical school. In addition to undergraduate coursework, premedical students are expected to test their motivation for a career in medicine by exposing themselves to different venues where clinical medicine is practiced. The content of medical school curricula is similar from program to program. However in recent decades, the structure for imparting that knowledge has undergone widespread reform. There is currently a good deal of difference in the way schools organize their four years of curriculum.

  • Specialist Lori Ann Piestewa Was a Native American
    Specialist Lori Ann Piestewa was a Native American from the Hopi Tribe and was born on December 14th, 1979 in Tuba City; the Navajo Nation’s largest community in Arizona. The name “Hopi” is short for “Hopituh Shi-nu-mu”, which translates as "The Peaceful People" or "Peaceful Little Ones.” Her Native Hopi name “Qötsa-Hon-Mana” stands for “White Bear Girl.” There are only about 19,338 Hopi Natives in the United States. Her grandfather served in the U.S. Army during WWII and her father is a Vietnam War veteran. She is considered to be a warrior by her people. In her tribe’s culture, becoming a warrior requires acting with honour and courage and doing “the right thing", one of which, is to join the U.S. Army. She was the first Native American woman in history to die in combat on foreign soil. On March 20th, 2003, the second Gulf War, also known as the Iraq War, began after Saddam Hussein refused to step down from power and leave Iraq within 48 hours, as demanded by then U.S. President George W. Bush. Only 3 days after the commencement of that war, a support unit of the maintenance and repair personnel of the Quartermaster Corps, 507th Maintenance Company, was part of a convoy that got ambushed in Nasiriyah, southeast of Iraq. Piestewa, at the time a Private First Class and part of the 3rd Forward Support Battalion, was the designated driver of a four-wheel drive military vehicle HMMWV. She accelerated to high speed in order to avoid a heavy barrage of enemy fire, consisting of AK-47s, mortars and rocket-propelled grenades.

  • How Many Kingdoms of Life? Eukaryotic Phylogeny and Philosophy of Systematics
    How many kingdoms of life? Eukaryotic phylogeny and philosophy of systematics Łukasz Lamża Copernicus Center for Interdisciplinary Studies, Jagiellonian University Abstract According to contemporary understanding of the universal tree of life, the traditionally recognized kingdoms of eukaryotic organisms— Protista, Fungi, Animalia and Plantae—are irregularly interspersed in a vast phylogenetic tree. There are numerous groups that in any Linnaean classification advised by phylogenetic relationships (i.e. a Hennigian system) would form sister groups to those kingdoms, therefore requiring us to admit them the same rank. In practice, this would lead to the creation of ca. 25-30 new kingdoms that would now be listed among animals and plants as “major types of life”. This poses problems of an aesthetic and educational nature. There are, broadly speaking, two ways to deal with that issue: a) ignore the aesthetic and educational arguments and propose classification sys- tems that are fully consistent with the Hennigian principles of phylo- genetic classification, i.e. are only composed of monophyletic taxa; CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 b) ignore Hennigian principles and bunch small, relatively uncharac- • teristic groups into paraphyletic taxa, creating systems that are more 227 – convenient. In the paper, I present the debate and analyze the pros 203 and cons of both options, briefly commenting on the deeper, third resolution, which would be to abandon classification systems entirely. Philosophical Problems in Science (Zagadnienia FilozoficzneNo w Nauce) 66 (2019), pp. 204 Łukasz Lamża Recent advances in eukaryotic classification and phylogeny are com- mented in the light of the philosophical question of the purpose and design principles of biological classification systems.
