Do Historically Black Colleges And Universities Enhance The College Attendance Of African American Youths?, Ronald G. Ehrenberg, Donna S. Rothstein, Robert B. Olsen
Do Historically Black Colleges And Universities Enhance The College Attendance Of African American Youths?, Ronald G. Ehrenberg, Donna S. Rothstein, Robert B. Olsen
Ronald G. Ehrenberg
Recently, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have become the center of intense policy debates. Do HBCUs enhance the college attendance of African American youths? Previous research has been inconclusive. Among other improvements, our study adjusts for the relative availability of HBCU enrollment opportunities in each state. We find that African Americans are more likely to choose HBCUs over other colleges if more HBCU openings are available. However, more HBCU openings don't increase overall African American enrollment. As we have shown elsewhere, attendance at an HBCU does enhance African American students' college graduation rates.

The engineering student experience is understood to differ for male and female students; gendered interactions affect the development of academic and professional role confidence, as well as engineering identity. The purpose of this session is twofold. First, we aim to introduce participants to concepts of gender schemas, privilege, and identity using a range of interactive activities, including brainstorming and structured discussion. Second, we intend to share information about and obtain feedback on a Gender Discussion Exploration Kit, which the participants will be encouraged to review, use, and share at their home institutions.

Ecos Do Ipiranga. Autonomia, Cidadania E Justiça No Brasil, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
O grito do Ipiranga é um belo mito de independência. O Brasil é cultural e juridicamente uma realidade que está a construir uma interessantíssima identidade nacional, colhendo dos outros o que interessa, mas sobretudo afirmando-se com autonomia. E já pode exportar produtos jurídicos próprios, como, pela sua visibilidade, a publicidade televisiva das sessões do Supremo Tribunal Federal.
Do Historically Black Institutions Of Higher Education Confer Unique Advantages On Black Students? An Initial Analysis, Ronald G. Ehrenberg, Donna S. Rothstein
Do Historically Black Institutions Of Higher Education Confer Unique Advantages On Black Students? An Initial Analysis, Ronald G. Ehrenberg, Donna S. Rothstein
Ronald G. Ehrenberg
[Excerpt] Despite the declining relative importance of HBIs in the production of black bachelor's degrees, in recent years they have become the subject of intense public policy debate for two reasons. First, court cases have been filed in a number of southern states that assert that black students continue to be underrepresented at traditionally white public institutions, that discriminatory admissions criteria are used by these institutions to exclude black students (e.g., basing admissions only on test scores and not also on grades), and that per student funding levels, program availability, and library facilities are substantially poorer at public HBIs than …
Beyond Dogma: The Role Of "Evolutionary" Science And The "Embodiment" Of Archetypal Energies, Carroy U. Ferguson
Beyond Dogma: The Role Of "Evolutionary" Science And The "Embodiment" Of Archetypal Energies, Carroy U. Ferguson
Carroy U "Cuf" Ferguson, Ph.D.
At individual and collective levels (locally, nationally, and globally), humanity is currently entertaining many challenges and opportunities for growth. In my view, these challenges and opportunities are connected to Energy shifts that are taking place on the planet, and the inability of some to move beyond dogma in relating to these Energy shifts. By its pre- and proscriptive nature, dogma fosters limiting beliefs that often interfere with how best to relate to these Energy shifts as vibrational beings in an evolving, vibrational world. Here, I want to briefly identify some of the limiting effects of dogma, and the role of …
Paradigmas Jurídicos Do Ter, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paradigmas Jurídicos Do Ter, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
A questão da propriedade é essencial ao Direito. A forma como com ela lida determina-o na sua essência. Por isso o primeiro grande paradigma jurídico foi o do direito objetivo, com relação de propriedade direta sobre as coisas, depois o subjetivo, em que a relação se subjetiviza e aparentemente (só aparentemente) se imaterializa, ao ponto de hoje tudo ser governado pelos Mercados sem rosto, e tem-se a esperança que possa vir a triunfar um Direito Novo, Humanista, Fraterno, em que conte mais a Pessoa que a propriedade. Este artigo recorda os momentos matinais em que se (de alguma forma miticamente) …
Addressing Plagiarism In A Digital Age, Eleanor Kutz, Wayne Rhodes, Stephen Sutherland, Vivian Zamel
Addressing Plagiarism In A Digital Age, Eleanor Kutz, Wayne Rhodes, Stephen Sutherland, Vivian Zamel
Eleanor Kutz
Four faculty members from UMass Boston's English Department explore possible ways of addressing the issue of plagiarism with their students as easy access to materials on the Internet is making it easier then ever to draw on others’ words, with or without appropriate documentation. Approaching faculty concerns from four complementary perspectives, the authors make the case for 1) recasting our understanding of plagiarism in terms of influence, borrowing, and remixing of the sort that is central to musical and artistic creation, 2) examining how students might develop greater awareness of the ways in which they are working with sources in …
Are Black Colleges Producing Today's African-American Lawyers?, Ronald G. Ehrenberg
Are Black Colleges Producing Today's African-American Lawyers?, Ronald G. Ehrenberg
Ronald G. Ehrenberg
In past years, almost all of America's black lawyers came from historically black colleges and universities because these schools were the only ones that would admit black students. Today, it appears that black colleges are producing increasingly fewer of the nation's black lawyers.

Pr. Mamoudou H. DICKO, PhD
Background Sida acuta Burn f. and Sida cordifolia L. (Malvaceae) are traditionally used in Burkina Faso to treat several ailments, mainly pains, including abdominal infections and associated diseases. Despite the extensive use of these plants in traditional health care, literature provides little information regarding their toxicity and the pharmacology. This work was therefore designed to investigate the toxicological effects of aqueous acetone extracts of Sida acuta Burn f. and Sida cordifolia L. Furthermore, their analgesic capacity was assessed, in order to assess the efficiency of the traditional use of these two medicinal plants from Burkina Faso. Method For acute toxicity …
Role Models In Education (Symposium Introduction), Ronald G. Ehrenberg
Role Models In Education (Symposium Introduction), Ronald G. Ehrenberg
Ronald G. Ehrenberg
It is our hope that by assembling these papers in one place, the Review will contribute to future policy debate on the importance of role models in education. Moreover, the papers' findings may have even broader importance. In many respects, the relationship between teachers and students can be viewed as analogous to the relationship between supervisors and employees. If the race, gender, and ethnicity of teachers "matter," so may the race, gender, and ethnicity of supervisors in the employment relationship. These papers thus suggest analogous types of research that could be profitably undertaken that relate to the employment relationship.
Do Teachers’ Race, Gender, And Ethnicity Matter? Evidence From The National Education Longitudinal Study Of 1988, Ronald G. Ehrenberg, Daniel D. Goldhaber, Dominic J. Brewer
Do Teachers’ Race, Gender, And Ethnicity Matter? Evidence From The National Education Longitudinal Study Of 1988, Ronald G. Ehrenberg, Daniel D. Goldhaber, Dominic J. Brewer
Ronald G. Ehrenberg
Using data from the National Educational Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS), the authors find that the match between teachers' race, gender, and ethnicity and those of their students had little association with how much the students learned, but in several instances it seems to have been a significant determinant of teachers' subjective evaluations of their students. For example, test scores of white female students in mathematics and science did not increase more rapidly when the teacher was a white woman than when the teacher was a white man, but white female teachers evaluated their white female students more highly than …

The Underrepresentation Of Minority Faculty In Higher Education: Panel Discussion, John Brooks Slaughter, Ronald G. Ehrenberg, Eric Hanushek
Ronald G. Ehrenberg
[Excerpt] The 3 July 2002 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education described the matter we are discussing today in these words: "Taken together. African-Americans and persons of Hispanic origin represent only 8 percent of full-time faculty nation-wide, and while 5 percent are African-American, half of them work at historically black institutions. The proportion of black faculty members at white institutions is 2.3 percent, virtually the same as it was 20 years ago." We are privileged to have the opportunity to explore this issue from two different perspectives. The first contends that unless major changes occur, the number of minority …
A Survey Of International Practice In University Admissions Testing, Daniel Edwards, Hamish Coates, Tim Friedman
A Survey Of International Practice In University Admissions Testing, Daniel Edwards, Hamish Coates, Tim Friedman
Dr Tim Friedman
This paper explores how admissions tests are used in different higher education systems around the world. This is a relatively new area of research, despite the fact that admissions processes are a key component of university practices and given the ever-increasing globalisation of higher education. This paper shows that aptitude and achievement tests, for example, are used in many developed countries. In some of them, a specific test is nationally instituted and generalised; consequently, the function of the test is well embedded in the education landscape of the country. Elsewhere, tests exist but are administered in an ad hoc fashion …

The author of the foreword speaks about how this issue touches on the subjects of women's rights and how their struggle to break through the glass ceiling has given them more empowerment than ever. The article also speaks about the works within the issue and how each one talks about the struggle, the progress, and success of women in today's working and educational world.

Numbers Are Not Enough: Women In Higher Education In The 21st Century, Sherry H. Penney, Jennifer Brown, Laura Mcphie Oliveria
Sherry Penney
Women are now the majority of students in institutions of higher education in the United States, and in many ways women as students and faculty have seen significant progress. But numbers do not tell the whole story. Subtle forms of discrimination continue to exist, and the higher up the pyramid you go, the fewer women are to be found, whether among tenured faculty, as presidents and provosts or as board members and board chairs. Many steps can be taken to improve the situation. Some institutions are recognizing that. We note some positive changes and discuss areas where improvement is needed. …
Knowledge, Learning, And Teaching: Striving For Conocimiento, Tim Sieber
Knowledge, Learning, And Teaching: Striving For Conocimiento, Tim Sieber
Tim Sieber
Anzaldúa inspires my courage to write and speak plainly, and together with encouragement from several good colleagues, I offer personal testimony, as part of a critical reflection on my own long teaching practice, my earlier writing and speaking about education, and an even longer history as a learner. Love is at the heart of it, a concern for students' well being, intellectual and spiritual. As bell hooks has noted, an "engaged pedagogy" involves the teacher in "sharing in the intellectual and spiritual growth" (hooks 1994: 13) of students, not only for the student's sake, but also for the professor's. Of …

A sociedade de hipercomunicação e de espetáculo têm regras novas, que ainda não terão sido completamente assimiladas. Neste artigo se reflete quase aforisticamente sobre os problemas do diálogo em relação com a educação dos participantes, as bases de comunhão em que qualquer discussão tem de basear-se, o discurso do poder para o povo e do povo para o poder, as figuras deste, a perceção e a caricatura da realidade com aquele fim, e finalmente o papel comunicativo do representante.

Apartir de los años ochenta, los académicos comienzan a ser identificados como objeto de estudio en la investigación educativa en México. Entre 1992 y 2007 se realizaron cuatro estudios nacionales de carácter cuantitativo sobre la planta académica. En este artículo se realiza una comparación metodológica entre dichos trabajos, a lo largo de seis dimensiones: 1) universo, 2) muestra, 3) diseño de muestreo, 4) instrumento, 5) aplicación del instrumento y tasa de respuesta, y 6) captura de la información y base de datos generada. Se concluye que los trabajos analizados son estudios nacionales que han contribuido a establecer a la profesión …

Açoitado pela crise, o País está crispado, e aponta o dedo a bodes expiatórios. Os verdadeiros culpados pela crise são porém fáceis de encontrar - e nalguns países encontraram-nos, julgaram-nos e condenaram-nos. Mas é interessante como aqui se desviam as atenções para grupos tradicionalmente estigmatizados pelas culpas alheias. Um dos alvos preferidos são os funcionários públicos.

The present study reports the antibacterial capacity of alkaloid compounds in combination with Methicillin and Ampicillin-resistants bacteria isolated from clinical samples. The resistance of different bacteria strains to the current antibacterial agents, their toxicity and the cost of the treatment have led to the development of natural products against the bacteria resistant infections when applied in combination with conventional antimicrobial drugs. The antibacterial assays in this study were performed by using inhibition zone diameters, MIC, MBC methods, the time-kill assay and the Fractional Inhibitory Concentration Index (FICI) determination. On the whole, fifteen Gram-positive bacterial strains (MRSA/ARSA) were used. Negative control …

Direito À Língua Portuguesa E Lusofonia, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Há manobras de diversão no problema do Direito à Língua, nos países lusófonos. Não é o Acordo ortográfico que nos deita os parentes na lama (muita da argumentação contra ele parece ser xenófoba, preconceituosa, etc.). O que realmente nos prejudica a língua e a cabeça lusófona é a capitulação provinciana de muitos de nós e das nossas instituições ao falar e ao pensar da globalização. Porque a Língua é a casa do ser, se falarmos (e pensarmos) muito numa língua alheia, a nossa cabeça começa a moldar-se à cosmovisão desse idioma. Sem prejuízo, é claro, da necessidade de conhecer o …
