Penney Professors: Eric J. Berry, Daniel Broek, Brian K. Penney, F. Jay Pitocchelli, Barry J. Wicklow; Associate Professors: Lori LaPlante, Daniel J. Lavoie, William Ryerson, Stephen W. Tobin, Robert C. Vallari; Assistant Professors: Theresa Dabruzzi, Elizabeth Greguske. The Department of Biology administers four majors: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biology, Environmental Science and Natural Science. In each of these majors, the curriculum is designed to: 1) explore the fundamental properties of life from the molecular to the community/ecosystem level, 2) demonstrate how biologists conduct inquiry in biology through rigorous application of the scientific method, and 3) incorporate this body of information into the framework of modern evolutionary theory. Laboratory and field work are important components of all four majors. For students from other majors with interests in the study of biology, Exploring the Natural World (BI 101), Topics in General Biology (BI 102), Exercise Physiology (BI 201), Tropical Biology (BI221) and Field Studies in Tropical Biology (BI 222) offer opportunities to learn about how biologists use the scientific method to investigate questions about the living world, the diversity of life, and the relationship of discoveries in the biological sciences to current problems facing a modern society. In addition, "The Biosphere at Risk" (BI 205), an introductory environmental science course, explores environmental issues of global significance, providing a scientific basis for both understanding the causes of and developing solutions for environmental problems. Students interested in careers in life science secondary education should see details under the Education Department (Life Sciences certification for grades 7-12) in the online catalog. Performance requirements: Students are required to earn a minimum of a "C" average (2.0), and receive no individual course grade lower than C-, in General Biology BI 103 and BI 104 and in General Chemistry CH 130 and Structure and Reactivity CH 150, the traditional first year biology and chemistry course sequences, to continue enrollment in a biology department-administered major into the second year. A student who falls below either performance requirement ("C" average or minimum of "C-" in a class) will be placed on probationary status in his or her respective major while repeating the necessary course(s) to meet the performance requirements. Probationary students must repeat the necessary course(s) by the end of the subsequent academic year and must meet all the performance requirements before enrolling in upper-level Biology courses. All probationary students must obtain permission of the Biology Department Chair to remain in any of the biology department-administered majors. It is the student's responsibility to provide evidence of successful completion of these courses to the Chair and the Registrar no later than one week prior to the first day of classes. Beyond the introductory courses (see above), students must maintain each semester a minimum grade point average of 2.0 in their major courses (biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics) to continue in their respective majors. Students from other majors wishing to join one of the department's four majors must first complete the equivalent of the General Biology 103-104 sequence. For these students, work completed in Exploring the Natural World (BI 101) or Topics in General Biology (BI 102 ) may be used in lieu of the corresponding semester of General Biology I (BI 103 ) or General Biology II (BI 104 ), provided that a minimum average grade of B+ is earned in BI101 or BI102. These students must consult and seek permission of the Chair prior to changing majors. Students completing BI 101 or BI 102 but failing to earn a B+ average may also be admitted into a Biology Department major by meeting the minimum grade requirements described above for a typical major's sequence, i.e. enrolling and successfully completing BI 103 - BI 104 and CH 130 - CH 131 with a C average or better across all four courses. These students must also take one additional elective to replace BI 101 or BI 102, in accordance with the College's policy on repeating courses. Major Biochemistry and Molecular Biology The Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major focuses on life processes at the molecular level, with emphasis on the biochemistry and molecular biology of cellular systems in simple and complex organisms. The curriculum is designed for students seeking preparation for graduate studies, for the health-care professions, or for entry-level positions in science-related industries. This interdisciplinary major draws upon the resources of the departments of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Major requirements: Students majoring in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology select schedules in consultation with a faculty advisor to include the following required courses: • BI 103 - General Biology I • BI 104 - General Biology II • BI 327 - Genetics • BI 333 - Cell Biology • BI 336 - Biochemistry • BI 341 - Selected Topics in Biochemistry • CH 130 - General Chemistry • CH 150 - Structure and Reactivity • CH 230 - Structure and Functions • CH 251 - Reaction and Mechanism • CH 280 - Physical Chemistry I or • CH 310 - Instrumental Analysis • MA 170 - Calculus I • PS 121-122 - General Physics I - II or • PS 131-132 - Calculus-Based Physics I - II • CH280 (Physical Chemistry I) is recommended for students focusing on biochemistry (NOTE: requires MA180 Calculus II), CH310 (Analytical Chemistry II), for students focusing on molecular biology. For an American Chemical Society Certified Biochemistry Degree, in addition to the requirements of the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major, the following courses must be successfully completed; CH 280 (Physical Chemistry I), CH 310 (Analytical Chemistry II), CH 340 (Inorganic Chemistry I), MA 180 (Calculus II), PS 131-132 (Calculus-Based Physics I - II). Research experience: Students are encouraged to obtain research experience through enrollment in either: • BI 421 - Directed Research in Biology - Two Semester Option • BI 422 - Directed Research in Biology - Two Semester Option or • BI 423 - Directed Research in Biology - One Semester Option • CH 420 - Research and Seminar I • CH 421 - Research and Seminar II and/or • BI 450 - Washington Internship • BI451-BI454 - Biology Internship Note: Should a student opt not to engage in one of the above research experiences, he/she must enroll in one additional non- introductory level laboratory course offering from either the Biology or Chemistry Department. Students must successfully complete a written comprehensive examination. The examination is the American Chemical Society Biochemistry test and is administered twice annually, once in November and once in February.

  • The Impact of Globalization on Occupational Safety and Health
    Session No. 786 The Impact of Globalization on Occupational Safety and Health Lawrence J. H. Schulze, PhD, PE, CPE Associate Professor Department of Industrial Engineering University of Houston, Houston, TX Abstract Globalization can be defined as the industrialization of the world. However, a more pragmatic definition might be the transfer of manufacturing from Established Economic Markets (USA and European Community as defined by the World Bank) to ‘developing’ economic markets. As such, the transference of manufacturing to areas with little or no infrastructure to ensure the health and safety of their workforces, these economic markets find that their rates of work-related injuries have skyrocketed. Although the globalization of economies has brought economic growth and new prosperity to many regions of the world, it has also brought with it an increasing safety concern. Although there are certainly threats to workplace health and safety, there are also opportunities for the international community. Worldwide cooperation, exchange of information, exchange of stories of success and failure, and international networks of Ergonomists, Industrial Hygienists, Safety Professionals and Public Health Professionals will create a collaboration that will be part of the solution than part of the problem through individual efforts. Approaches such as: (1) grass-roots citizen efforts; (2) consumer efforts; (3) professional collaborations; (4) publication of success stories; (5) and a focus on practical solutions that have an immediate impact on worker health and safety while supporting productivity and competitiveness will have an impact on improving working conditions around the world. The world is truly a small place, where the impact is one region is truly felt globally.

The paper is reproduced as submitted by the author without formal editing. 1 I. The Impending Workforce Crisis The global workforce is now at a tipping point. We are transitioning out of a decades-long period of rapid growth in working age populations and entering a new era of unprecedented population aging and slowing workforce growth. Population aging is driven by three major demographic forces. First, due to improved health care and innovations, global life expectancy increased from 47 years in 1950 to 67 years in 2000. 2 Second, total fertility rates fell drastically in the second half of the 20 th century. The number of children per woman almost halved between 1950 (when women had on average five children) and 2000 (when women had on average 2.6 children). 3 Finally, a surge in fertility rates in the middle of the 20th century, observed largely in North America, parts of Europe, and Australia, created a “baby boom,” a population bulge now entering the older ages.

Even “Social Europe”, where rights and protections have traditionally been strong, is under attack. There is a profound mistrust of institutions as people increasingly lose trust in governments that prioritise business interests over the wellbeing of working people. Half the world’s population has direct or family experience with unemployment or reduced working hours. More than half are in vulnerable or irregular work, and 40% struggle to survive in the desper- ation of the informal sector. Unions across the world are leading the fight for economic and social justice, with policies based on fair distribution of income rather than the empty promise of neoliberal austerity.

  • Workers of the World Unite (At Last)
    April 2019 Workers of the World Unite (At Last) Pre-Publication Copy. Do Not Distribute. Ronaldo Munck Once seen as the vanguard of a new social order, the contemporary labor movement has been written off by many progressive activists and scholars as a relic of the past. They should not be so hasty. Rather than spelling the beginning of the end for organized labor, globalization has brought new opportunities for reinvention, and a sea change in both trade unions and the wider labor movement. Most notably, globalization has forced unions to think and act outside the state to build transnational solidarity across countries and sectors. Emerging transnational unionism, if it perseveres, contains the seeds of a new global movement, a new international that extends beyond labor to embrace all forces working toward a Great Transition. A GTI Essay Farewell to Labor? Mention the labor movement today, and activists might ask, “What movement?” Indeed, the vibrant labor movement of yesteryear, when workers in industrializing countries organized their factories, has ebbed with the onslaught of neoliberal globalization. This retreat can make Marx’s call of “Workers of the world, unite!” seem quaint, and the international labor congress that launched the First International in 1864 a quixotic dream. The internationalist optimism of the fin-de-siècle Second International and the early twentieth-century Third International—the belief that victory was in reach for the worker—contrasts with the pessimism of labor today and the hollow shell that is the contemporary Socialist International. The “labor” parties that once promised to empower the average worker now are often the agents of austerity and the allies of global capital.
