The editorial cartoon has been a part of American culture since the beginning of the nation’s founding. The following review of editorial cartoons takes a specific look at public servants who are not in the political spotlight, such as teachers, police, fire and postal service men and women. Through a review of editorial cartoons from 1999-2003, it becomes apparent that there are positive images of public servants amid the numerous negative ones published daily. The selection of cartoons, most notably those following the attacks of September 11, 2001, highlights that heroism and service can be transcended through cartoons as with any other form of art.

The hypothesis that the sex composition of an applicant pool affects the hiring probabilities of individual job applicants was tested using gender-distinctive information on accepted and rejected job applicants in The Netherlands. The evidence supports this hypothesis, although the effect sizes are moderate. Both men and women have a lower probability of being hired when the applicant pool contains fewer applicants from their own sex.

Antecedentes. La complejidad ambiental observada en una localidad ha sido estudiada a través de un modelo isomórfico en el que se anticipa la emergencia de dos identidades: una entrópica y otra neguentrópica. En situaciones de riesgo, escasez e insalubridad, las comunidades se organizan para reducir los efectos de los desastres naturales sobre la salud comunitaria. Objetivo. Especificar un modelo para el estudio del estrés y la resiliencia comunitaria ante los eventos de riesgo ambiental y los desastres naturales. Método. Se llevó a cabo un estudio no experimental, transversal y exploratorio con una selección no probabilística de 600 afectados por las inundaciones de un rio en la zona del centro de México. Resultados. Se encontraron diferencias significativas entre hombres y mujeres con respecto a sus niveles de riesgo, estrés y resiliencia que sirvieron para especificar el modelo de relaciones de dependencia entre las variables que explican la complejidad ambiental isomórfica. Discusión. En relación con otras especificaciones de modelos se recomienda incluir las variables con la finalidad de demostrar las trayectorias lógicas de relaciones de dependencia propuestas.Background. Environmental complexity observed in one locality has been studied through an isomorphic model in which the emergence of two identities are anticipated: an entropic and other neguentropic. At risk, shortages and unsanitary conditions, communities are organized to reduce the effects of natural disasters on community health. Objective. Specify a model for the study of stress and community resilience to environmental risk events and natural disasters. Method. a non-experimental, cross-sectional and exploratory study with a nonrandom selection of 600 affected by the flooding of a river in the downtown area of Mexico was held. Results. significant differences between men and women regarding their risk levels, stress and resilience that served to specify the model of dependency relationships between variables that explain the environmental complexity isomorphic found. Discussion. For other specifications recommended models include variables in order to demonstrate the logical paths proposals dependency relationships.

A partir de los microdatos de los censos mexicanos de 1970, 1990 y 2000, en este artículo se examina la homogeneidad de los matrimonios y uniones atendiendo al nivel de instrucción de los cónyuges en las últimas tres décadas, caracterizadas por una fuerte expansión de la escolaridad, por el incremento de los rendimientos de la educación y por la reducción progresiva de las diferencias de género en materia educativa. Tres conclusiones brotan del examen de los datos: el aumento significativo de la homogamia entre los más escolarizados, la consolidación de dos zonas extendidas de homogamia, y la reducción de las diferencias en torno a la manera en que los hombres y las mujeres incorporan la educación en la selección conyugal. AbstractOn the basis of microdata from Mexican censuses taken in 1970, 1990 and 2000, this article examines the homogeny of marriages and consensual marriages by level of spousal educational attainment over the past three decades, characterized by the enormous expansion of schooling, the increase in educational performance and the progressive reduction in gender differences in educational matters. Three conclusions emerge from the examina­tion of the data: the significant increase in homogamy among those with the highest levels of educational attainment, the consolidation of two extended zones of homogamy and the reduction of differences between the way men and women incorporate education in the selection of marriage partners.

Parasite Avoidance

Livestock breeding programmes have created resistant (R) and susceptible (S) sheep that differ in their ability to control parasites through their immune function but potentially also their grazing behaviour (i.e. parasite avoidance). Using the Perendale genetic lines, we tested the hypothesis that R-sheep avoid parasites more effectively, reducing their parasite exposure/challenge, compared with S-sheep. However, in grazing systems, parasite-rich areas are also forage rich, suggesting that parasite avoidance behaviours are associated with nutritional penalties. We first created a naturally heterogeneous sward structure of gaps and tussocks and then used focal behavioural observations to quantify the sward selection of R- and S-sheep. Tussock swards were more nitrogen rich (41%), offered increased forage intake rates (32%) and contained 17 times more parasite larvae than gap swards. All the animals avoided grazing the tussock swards. However, the R-sheep grazed the tussock swards to a lesser degree than the S-sheep. We conclude that selection for genetic resistance has resulted in animals that, despite being well armed to fight parasitism through improved immune function, adopt parasite avoidance strategies with associated nutritional disadvantages. This experiment highlights the role of host behaviour in the control of parasitism and suggests that animals can be bred to avoid disease.

Why do the tannaim exempt women from time-bound commandments (m. Qiddushin 1:7)? In this paper it is argued that the unequal levels of obligation for men and women in rabbinic Judaism creates a hierarchy of mitzvot between them that mimics and virtually replaces the earlier biblical hierarchy of mitzvot between priests and Israel. In both constellations the rabbis consider the obligation to fulfill more commandments to be a privilege. The similarity between the hierarchies priests–Israel and men–women becomes apparent when the selection of commandments from which the tannaim and the amoraim explicitly exempt women are examined more closely: Many of them – the time-bound commandments shofar, lulav, tzitzit, tefillin, and shema as well as the non-time-bound mitzvah of Torah study – share a common feature, namely, their function as “ersatz Temple rituals.” During the transition from a Temple-oriented, priest-based Judaism to a study-oriented rabbinic Judaism, rituals such as these played a crucial role.

On the occasion of International Women's Day, the Institute for Women's Studies in the Arab World, Beirut UniversityCollege organized a women's TALK IN, instead of the usual lectures and/or panels. On March 9,1994, BUC communitywhich included students, faculty, staff and friends of the IWSAW gathered to express themselves on various women andgender issues. Approximately 600 persons, men and women, urgently raised their handsfor their turn with themicrophones. The atmosphere was filled with mixed feelings on various issues. There was anger against oppression, enthusiasm for human rights, and some backlash against women and their movement. Here is a selection of some of the statements made.
