Implementing gender-focused DEI initiatives in B2B sales: Navigating cultural forces and organizational resistance

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) has emerged as a strategic imperative in business-to-business markets. Yet, existing DEI implementation frameworks underplay the roles of frontline translation and organizational resistance. This omission is consequential in global sales con...

Augmented multiscale formulation for incompressible flow

We revise the multiscale finite element formulation for incompressible flow computations. We incorporate an iterative penalty approach to the classical multiscale finite element formulation to ensure the enforcement of the incompressiblity condition during temporal solution of th...

German, Jew, Communist, Catholic: The Conversions of Hermann Borchardt

This article explores the ideological transformations and literary legacy of forgotten émigré writer Hermann Borchardt (1888–1951). When he arrived in the United States in 1937, Borchardt had already experienced life under Soviet and Nazi regimes, surviving a yearlong stint in Da...

Chronic Predation Risk Induces Sex‐Specific Effects in Behavior but Does Not Induce Long‐Term Oxidative Damage in the Threespined Stickleback

ABSTRACT Predation is a strong environmental and selective pressure that can favor rapid and plastic shifts in behavior and escape ability to increase an organism's immediate survival. However, maintaining antipredator responses under repeated predation stress can induce physiolo...

Peripheral sudomotor reflex activity as a candidate autonomic biomarker for psychosis: associations with symptoms and cognition

Background Abnormalities in Autonomic Nervous System activity are well described in psychosis but their peripheral versus CNS origins remains unresolved. However, the purely peripheral component of the sudomotor sweat reflex can be quantified using the Quantitative Sudomotor Axon...

Hippo signaling regulates dorsoventral patterning in Drosophila head and eye development

The integration of growth and patterning is essential for proper tissue development. In Drosophila , the Hippo pathway controls organ size, including formation of adult structures from the eye-antennal imaginal disc. Defective Proventriculus (Dve), a K-50 domain transcription fac...

Promising Solutions for Improving Professional Development Outcomes in Mathematics Instruction among Diverse Early Childhood Educators

Early mathematics skills are a powerful predictor of later academic achievement, economic outcomes, and overall well-being, yet many young children in the United States struggle in mathematics. Improving mathematics instruction in early childhood classrooms is therefore a critica...

The influence of Polycomb and Trithorax Group function on the sexually dimorphic abdomen pigmentation of Drosophila melanogaster

Abstract Animal traits develop through intricate patterns of gene expression that are regulated at multiple levels. This regulation includes interactions between transcription factors and cis-regulatory element (CRE) DNA sequences, and the dynamic accessibility of CREs due to chr...
