The Association of Pathology Chairs, an organization of American and Canadian academic pathology departments, has a record percent of women department chairs in its ranks (31%), although still not representative of the percent of women pathology faculty (43%). These women chairs were surveyed to determine what had impeded and what had facilitated their academic advancement before becoming chairs. The 2 most frequently identified impediments to their career advancement were heavy clinical loads and the lack of time, training, and/or funding to pursue research. Related to the second impediment, only one respondent became chair of a department which was in a top 25 National Institutes of Health–sponsored research medical school. Eighty-nine percent of respondents said that they had experienced gender bias during their careers in pathology, and 31% identified gender bias as an important impediment to advancement. The top facilitator of career advancement before becoming chairs was a supportive family. Strikingly, 98% of respondents have a spouse or partner, 75% have children, and 38% had children younger than 18 when becoming chairs. Additional top facilitators were opportunities to attend national meetings and opportunities to participate in leadership. Previous leadership experiences included directing a clinical service, a residency training program, and/or a medical student education program. These results suggest important ways to increase the success of women in academic pathology and increasing the percent of women department chairs, including supporting a family life and providing time, encouragement and resources for research, attending national meetings, and taking on departmental leadership positions.

Abstract Introduction Caregiving for older spouses or family members is common with an aging population. The responsibilities caregivers maintain can disrupt sleep, which may present workplace productivity consequences. We sought to test whether caregiving-related sleep disturbance was associated with workplace productivity among adults caring for older spouses and family members. Methods Cross-sectional analysis of the 2011 National Study of Caregiving dataset was conducted. The dataset is comprised of family members and unpaid caregivers to older adults in the U.S. (age 65 and above) receiving assistance with self-care, mobility, or household activities. Caregivers reported the frequency of sleep disturbance (“In the last month, how often did caregiving cause your sleep to be interrupted”) from 0 (“never” or “rarely”) to 1 (“some nights”) and 2 (“most nights” or “every night”). Workplace measures included: 1) presenteeism, or the degree to which caregiving affected productivity at work, measured from 1 “not at all” to 10 “very much”; 2) absenteeism, or the proportion of hours missed from work due to caregiving to total hours worked, and 3) productivity loss, or the sum of absenteeism and presenteeism. Generalized linear models examined the relationship between workplace productivity and sleep disturbance, while controlling for relevant covariates, including age, income, education, and self-reported health. Results Participants comprised 2,007 caregivers. Mean (SD) age was 63.5 (12.9), and 66.4% of the participants were women (n=1,334). The most common relationship to the older adult was daughter (n=704, 35.1%), followed by spouse/partner (n=422,21.0%), and son (n=310,15.5%). Compared to no “rarely” or “never” experiencing sleep disruption, reporting disruption “most nights” or “every night” was associated with presenteeism (OR=1.2, 95%CI:1.1–1.2), absenteeism (OR=1.1, 95%CI: 1.0–1.1), and total productivity loss (OR=1.22, 95%CI: 1.1 to 1.3). Conclusion Caregiving-related sleep disruption is a risk factor for workplace productivity losses, hindering caregivers from professional advancement and further degrading their caregiver capacity. Future study of means for improving sleep among caregivers is warranted. Support T32HL007901

Cervical cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in women worldwide. The availability of prophylactic vaccines for high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection represents an important advancement in the prevention of cervical cancer. In Jordan, the availability of the HPV vaccination is restricted to individuals who are willing to pay. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the willingness and attitude of female university students in health schools/faculties in Jordan to get HPV vaccination and their knowledge about the virus. A self-administered online questionnaire was distributed in October 2021, which comprised 27 items to evaluate HPV knowledge, history of HPV vaccination, intentions to get the HPV vaccine, and the reason(s) behind vaccine refusal for those who rejected vaccination. The study sample comprised 836 participants: medical students (39.7%), pharmacy students (26.0%), dental students (21.2%), and nursing students (13.2%). Only 524 participants had heard of HPV prior to the study (62.7%), of which 48.7% knew about the availability of HPV vaccines. The lowest level of HPV knowledge was observed among nursing students. Only 19/524 students reported a history of HPV vaccination (3.6%). The overall willingness to receive HPV vaccination if provided freely was 75.0%, while only 16.0% were willing to pay for the vaccine. The most common reason for HPV vaccine rejection was the perceived low risk to get HPV infection. Significantly higher intentions to get HPV vaccination were found among older participants and medical students. The embrace of vaccine conspiracy beliefs was associated with a significantly less willingness to get the HPV vaccination (p < 0.001). Dependence on the internet/social media as the source of HPV knowledge was associated with a significantly lower intention to get HPV vaccination (p = 0.002). The coverage of the HPV vaccination among female university students in health schools in Jordan appeared extremely low; however, three-fourths of the students who had heard of HPV were willing to receive the HPV vaccination if provided freely. Complacency appeared as a major factor for HPV vaccine rejection. Increasing the levels of knowledge and awareness of HPV infection and its association with cervical cancer through reliable sources is recommended. This can be helpful for the individual benefit of the students besides the potentially positive role they can play in community education. Countering vaccine conspiracy beliefs with proper education and awareness programs can be helpful to appraise the role of HPV vaccines in cancer prevention.

Teachers are required not only to impart knowledge in various subjects, they have also to develop the whole personality of the child-body, mind and spirit. The most important equipment of a teacher is his back ground of education and training. A teacher must represent a running stream and not a stagnant pool. The teaching community constitutes a very large segment of employees in Manipur. Both from the point of view of their number and their dispersal all over the state, they distributed a significant service under the state. According to National Policy on Educaion (1992), the living and working conditions of teachers includes pay and allowances, career advancement, retirement and medical benefits, housing facilities, provision of study leave special provisions for women teachers, service conditions, postings and transfers, Teacher’s Welfare teachers’ participation and recruitments. The main objective is to study the working conditions of teachers f elementary schools with respect to management. Out of 600 teachers, 268 teachers were from 38 Elementary Government school, 122 teachers from 26 Elementary Aided schools and 210 teachers from 32 Elementary Private schools. It was found that 47.62% of private schools have pucca building while that of Government and Aided schools are 35.82% and 20.48% respectively. Lack of the minimum essential facilities in elementary schools exist in all three types of school in which Government schools are much lacking behind the other counter parts. School inspection on regular basis is found to be lacking in Government (48.88%) and Aided schools (49.18%). Private school teachers show highest in Heavy work-load(61.90%) and miscillenious work(20.95%). service conditions of Government teachers are in better position as compared to Aided and Private school teachers. The majority of Private school teachers reported that Salaries are paid in time as compared to other counter parts. service conditions of Government teachers are in better position as compared to Aided and Private school teachers. Parents-Teachers Association (PTA) are found to be highest in Government schools (67.21%) and lowest in Private schools (53.33%). It was found 73.50% of Government, 72.89% of Aided and 43.33% of Private school teachers do not have computer knowledge.

The development of a nation's health care system depends heavily on medical education and training. Like many other places in the world, Pakistan has historically had a male-dominated medical profession. But the number of women choosing jobs in medicine has increased commendably in recent years. Despite this encouraging development, Pakistani women still encounter many obstacles throughout their pursuit of medical education and training, which may impede their ability to advance professionally and make a contribution to the healthcare industry. Globally, female healthcare employees still have a lot of obstacles to overcome at work, including gender inequality, weak human resource policy, and family responsibilities that limit their ability to advance professionally. Work-family harmony has been cited in many nations as a substantial roadblock to career progress.
In addition to unequal compensation, bad working conditions, little prospects for career advancement, work-related stress, and unfavourable policies that support patriarchy, women in the health sciences also confront issues connected to poor work environments. And in our paper, this issue will be underlined.[1]

Tamil Maadhu Swapneswari Ambal was a pioneer of feminism who had been doing various works for the advancement of women in the early twentieth century. He was the editor of Tamil Maadhu (1905). Thereby striving for the advancement of women. Born in 1846, he was heavily involved in the work of Iyothee Thass Pandit, a pioneer of the Buddhist renaissance. Pandit Rayapettai also attended the Sunday evening sermon at the Buddhist Association and delivered a sermon. He was presented with a section in the Tamil magazine 'Pengal Patthi' which was reserved for women. He wrote a series of short articles on a number of topics. After the demise of the Pandit, he converted to Buddhism and continued to practice Buddhism. Thus, he is identified by the Buddhists as 'Maha Upasaki'. She has run many organizations for the advancement of women, including the 'Women's Education Development Association' and the 'Widow Care Monastery' for widows. He put forward the idea that women who have lost their husbands should come forward to remarry without being paralyzed at home. He was keen to realize that women are enslaved by ignorance and to become rational thinkers. He protested against child marriages taking place at that time. He said that women in family life should not be dependent on others but should be meant to help others. Thus, she has been a voice for the advancement of women on many levels. Swapnaneswari Ambal. Today's Tamil world should know and praise her extensive social work and women's liberation work

Summary.This study investigates the association between body height and inter-generational social advancement through education. Questionnaire data were collected from 2800 students (1023 men and 1777 women) from the universities of Wrocław, Poland. The questions referred to three generations: the students and their parents and grandparents. Information was collected on the age, body height and weight of the students and their parents, and on the parents’ and grandparents’ education. The lowest body heights were typically found for individuals from families with the lowest educational levels, whereas the greatest body heights were found for those brought up in families with a high educational status or in families who had upgraded their status. The size of the change in the educational level of parents is only associated with fathers’ and female students’ body height. Individuals who had advanced from a middle educational level or who came from families with this type of advancement were found to be significantly taller, on average, than those upgrading their educational level from the lowest position. The results show that, for men, educational advancement during the course of their lives or in the earlier generation is more favourable to achieving higher stature, whereas for women, the multi-generational tradition of a high educational status is of greater significance.

Fear of crime is an important public health problem that impacts people’s quality of life, health, and wellbeing, and causes mental health ailments (e.g., anxiety). This study aimed to determine whether there was an association between fear of crime, educational attainment, and self-rated health and anxiety among women residing in a county in east-central Sweden. A sample (n = 3002) of women aged 18–84 years surveyed in the Health on Equal Terms survey carried out in 2018 was included in the study. Bivariate and multivariate regression analysis was performed on the relationship between the composite variables fear of crime, educational attainment, and self-rated health and anxiety. Women with primary education or similar who reported fear of crime had increased odds of poor health (odds ratio (OR) 3.17; 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.40–4.18) compared with women with primary education/similar and no fear of crime (OR 2.90; CI 1.90–3.20). A statistically significant relationship persisted in the multivariate analysis after controlling for other covariates, although the odds were reduced (OR 1.70; CI 1.14–2.53 and 1.73; CI 1.21–2.48, respectively). Similarly, in the bivariate analysis, women who reported fear of crime and who only had primary education had statistically significant odds of anxiety (OR 2.12; CI 1.64–2.74); the significance was removed, and the odds were reduced (OR 1.30; CI 0.93–1.82) after adjusting for demographic, socioeconomic, and health-related covariates. Women with only primary education or similar who reported fear of crime had higher odds of poor health and anxiety compared with those with university education or similar, with and without fear of crime. Future studies (including longitudinal ones) are warranted—on the one hand, to understand possible mechanisms of the relationship between educational attainment and fear of crime and its consequences to health, and on the other, to explore low-educated women’s own perceptions regarding factors underlining their fear of crime (qualitative studies).

The increased use of technology has affected almost every aspect of how data are collected, stored, retrieved, and analyzed across the health care system. The health information management (HIM) workforce in the United States is predominantly composed of women. With HIM employment rising by 2020, additional education of the current workforce is a necessity. This qualitative phenomenological study evaluated women working with HIM associate degrees and RHIT certifications to determine their perceived need for advanced education for career advancement. This study used the social cognitive career theory (SCCT) to determine how women in HIM perceive needs based on self-efficacy, expected outcomes, and goals. The research questions evaluated education type, subject matters, and ability to advance. The study recruitment process included the use of HIM online research forums resulting and narrative inquiry data collection from 22 personal interviews across 19 states in the Unites States. Colaizzi's data analysis strategy demonstrated themes of HIM education access, barriers, preparedness, and role interests. The data gathered showed need and interest in further education directly correlated to time remaining in career and role aspirations. Recommendations for further research include evaluation of advanced HIM education needs in a male population or individuals with post-graduate education. To affect positive change, dissemination of this study's findings to HIM leaders may create awareness and rationale for women to obtain technology and data related advanced education. In addition, this study may influence educational institutions to promote HIM as a field of study and fill the anticipated gap in HIM field expertise in the coming decade.

This chapter presents a portrait of Herbert Hill, who identified himself as “an unreconstructed abolitionist.” As labor secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), he was a combatant in a war against men and women who, by history, politics, and religion, should have been in his camp. Hill was a brilliant and determined crusader who made the most of the limited legal remedies available against workplace discrimination in the 1950s and 1960s. He brought actions before the National Labor Relations Board to decertify unions that violated the nondiscrimination provision in federal contracts, and he carried cases against both labor unions and employers to state antidiscrimination commissions. Hill consciously fashioned this employment rights campaign after the larger NAACP fight to dismantle de jure segregation and discrimination in education, housing, and at the ballot box. He drafted an effective and widely distributed NAACP Labor Manual that described the complex gamut of discrimination tactics in the workplace and advised African Americans that the NAACP was ready to aid them in their fight against such inequities.

Complications of early pregnancy, including pregnancy loss and threatened miscarriage, are common. Miscarriage affects almost one in five pregnancies and accounts for utilization of a significant proportion of healthcare resources. Women presenting with miscarriage should ideally be assessed, diagnosed, and managed in early pregnancy assessment units. They should be provided with comprehensive information about expectant, medical, and surgical management options, and helped to make informed decisions about their care. Early pregnancy loss can be a source of considerable distress to women and they should be provided with appropriate support and counselling. Recurrent miscarriage (RM) remains a challenge to patients and clinicians alike. Recognition of the psychosocial impact should prompt involvement of mental health specialists, counsellors, and social workers in patient management. Inconsistencies in definition (two or three consecutive miscarriages) confound research in RM. Although endocrinological, thrombotic, autoimmune, and uterine structural perturbations have been described in association with RM, antiphospholipid syndrome and embryonic karyotype abnormalities remain the two closest conditions for which a reasonable explanation can be offered to patients along with prognostication for future pregnancies. A diagnosis of RM has additional implications, not only for previable pregnancy loss, but an association with adverse obstetric and future maternal health outcomes. A global consensus on the definition of RM, along with phenotypic characterization of this heterogeneous condition would improve interpretation of available data and future research. A thorough understanding of the underlying molecular pathophysiological mechanisms in specific phenotypic categories of RM is the fundamental requisite for the advancement of this field.

In terms of education and professional achievements, the Terrells are rightfully categorized as members of the Washington, D.C. black elite, yet their financial status was often precarious. The category of the black “elite” in the period after Reconstruction and beyond was flexible and unstable. Due to Robert Terrell’s involvement in the Capital Savings Bank failure, the Terrell couple experienced economic instability, culminating in Robert’s 1913 bankruptcy. Nonetheless, the Terrells were prominent members of what W. E. B. Du Bois termed the Talented Tenth. Well-educated with professional jobs, such as teacher and lawyer, and Municipal Court judge, they took seriously the idea of “representing the race.” The Terrells raised their daughters to be accomplished, well-educated young women. Although the Terrells respected Booker T. Washington, they advocated higher education and professional attainments for African Americans. Mollie Terrell joined Du Bois in militant civil rights activism, demanding an end to lynching, segregation, and discrimination. She took on leadership roles in the Constitution League, Afro-American Council (AAC), and was a founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

Abstract Since the enactment of Title IX of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act in 1972, much has been written about the schooling experiences of girls in America’s schools. Reports leading up to this legislation documented numerous barriers that inhibited women’s access to vocational, athletic, and educational programs. Title IX legislation was designed to be a comprehensive federal mandate to address gender inequities at all levels of schooling, from admission policies to career education. Over the last three decades, unprecedented changes in women’s level of educational participation and achievement have been observed. For the first time in U.S. history, women today are earning more college degrees than are men, and a record number of women are earning law, medical, and business degrees. However, numerous reports suggest that significant disparities in girls’ schooling experiences exist, especially when differences are examined by socioeconomic status, geographic location, ethnicity, and/or disability (American Association of University Women [AAUW], 1998a).

Abstract The Chicago Defender, a black weekly newspaper, asked Johnson to restate the aims and purposes of the NAACP after its sixteen-year history. In 1925 Johnson eagerly accepted this opportunity, and in the following article he answers the question, “What has the NAACP done?” In spite of sixteen years history of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, together with what it has accomplished, and the clear statement of its purpose, there are still people who ask “What has the N.A.A.C.P. done?” These questions may spring from ignorance or from intentional blindness. I therefore eagerly seize the opportunity given by the Chicago Defender, to restate for the great public reached by this newspaper, not only the aims and purposes of the N.A.A.C.P. but to call to mind a few of the achievements which justify the enormous labor which has been and is being expended in the work of the Association. I think it only necessary to state the aims of the N.A.A.C.P. to make it clear that it is absolutely necessary for every Negro in America that those aims be realized. What are those aims and how have we thus far realized them? The N.A.A.C.P. set out to establish, safeguard, and fortify the fundamental citizenship rights of every colored man, woman and child in America. It demands justice in the courts, equal opportunity for education of colored with white children, and equal and fair deal for the colored workman on the job. In any public place the N.A.A.C.P. demands that the Negro shall have exactly the same accommodation and courtesy accorded to any other American citizens. It wants the Negro respected as men and women, his gifts and achievements acknowledged, to the end that the United States Constitution may be made something more than a scrap of paper and there be in America democracy in fact as well as in name.

Abstract Nutritional assessment, an essential task of the nutritionist and dietitian, is an important disease prevention measure that has been shown to reduce health-care costs. One of the early position papers of the American Dietetic Association on health care noted that in terms of money and human suffering, every dollar spent on nutrition instruction saves many dollars in later medical care. Kennedy and Kotelchuck reported that participation of prenatal patients in the USDA Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), which includes nutrition education, has a positive effect on pregnancy outcome: a 107 g increase in mean birth weight and a 4% decrease in the incidence of low birth weight. High-risk teenage, African-American, and Hispanic women gained even stronger benefits, particularly when they were followed for two trimesters. Malnourished patients often are hospitalized 2–5 days longer than nonmalnourished patients, resulting in additional costs of over $1000 per day. Also, nutritionists/dietitians on nutrition support or feeding teams helped reduce the incidence of malnutrition. The savings ranged from $1700 over a 4-month period to $8100 per year. However, only one-fifth of the patients received home counseling or another form of posthospitalization follow-up care. Butterworth and Blackburn found that protein-calorie malnutrition affected one-fourth to one-half of medical and surgical patients whose hospitalization lasted 2 weeks or longer,5 and many children today are at high risk due to obesity and poor nutritional habits. These problems have increased in the past 10 years. However for the undernourished lower fat free mass or lean body mass was significantly associated with increased length of hospital stay when using the Subjective Global Assessment questionnaire. This combination is more sensitive than weight loss of 10% or body mass index for older children and adults.

Objective: The immunohistochemical profile of breast cancer is based on the evaluation of estrogen and progesterone receptors, HER2 expression, and cell proliferation index. An investigation of the association of immunophenotyping of invasive breast cancer with sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle becomes important in view of the scarcity of research in mixed populations such as the Brazilian. Methods: This cross-sectional study investigated the association of immunophenotyping of invasive breast cancer with sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle in 583 patients seen in a cancer center in southeastern Brazil. The Pearson’s chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test was used for statistical analysis. Results: There was a higher frequency of women with the luminal B HER2-negative subtype (33.9%). The analysis of immunophenotyping with sociodemographic characteristics found a higher frequency of women aged 50 years or older in luminal A, 65.5% (p≤0.040) and medical suspicion of breast cancer at a clinical examination in HER2-positive subtype, 89.7% (p=0.015). In this research, we found no association of immunophenotyping with marital cohabitation (p=0.856), education (p=0.723), ethnicity (p=0.129), access to hospital (p=0.686), tobacco (p=0.099) and alcohol consumption (p=0.270), body mass index (p=0.584), performance of the first mammogram (p=0.477), family cancer history (p=0.254), and parity (p=0.676). Conclusion: Younger women had tumors with a worse prognosis when compared to those aged 50 years or older. Ethnicity showed no association, contrary to the wide discussion in the literature about the high frequency of the triple-negative subtype. There was no association with alcohol consumption, a factor recognized in the literature as a risk factor for the development of breast cancer.

Introduction: Breast cancer is a public health problem worldwide, being the most common malignancy in the female population. It is a potentially curable disease with an early diagnosis. The advanced stage at the time of diagnosis is associated with increased morbidity and low survival for the patients. Objectives: To describe the sociodemographic, clinical, and anatomopathological characteristics of breast cancer cases in women included in the hospital-based cancer registry (RHC) of Fundação Oncocentro de São Paulo (FOSP), and to investigate factors associated with the clinical stage at diagnosis. Methods: The study design was a case series. The sample consisted of women with breast cancer diagnosed between 2000 and 2014 and included in the RHC-FOSP. The outcome variable was a clinical-stage (stage 0–II versus III–IV). The explanatory variables were age at diagnosis and educational level. This study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Botucatu Medical School, São Paulo State University, Brazil. Results: The study included 84,987 women with in situ and invasive breast cancer diagnosed between 2000 and 2014. The average age of women at diagnosis was 56.7 years (95%CI 56.6–56.8 years). Sixty-five percent of cases completed elementary school or less and the most frequent histological type was ductal carcinoma (77.2%). During the study period, there was a slight decrease in the proportion of tumors in more advanced stages, from 39.8% in 2000 to 32.6% in 2014. There was a statistically significant association between age at diagnosis and educational level with the women’s grouped clinical stage. Women of older age and those with a higher education level had reduced odds ratios of having tumors in more advanced stages at the time of diagnosis. Conclusions: These findings may contribute to the development of policies for the identification of breast tumors at earlier stages.
