Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to use generational cohort and professionalism theories as the framework to examine the interaction between supervisor-subordinate relationships, work-family conflict, discretionary power and affective commitment at the work-life interface for Northeast Brazilian public sector professional nurses. Design/methodology/approach – Quantitative data were collec...

A More Sums Than Differences (MSTD, or sum-dominant) set is a finite set A ⊂ Z such that |A+A| < |A−A|. Though it was believed that the percentage of subsets of {0, . . . , n} that are sum-dominant tends to zero, in 2006 Martin and O’Bryant [MO] proved that a positive percentage are sum-dominant. We generalize their result to the many different ways of taking sums and differences of a set. We p...

Digital divide can be considered a macro economical index representing the social differences and the separation between the North and the South of the world. Since the first definition of digital divide, it has been shown that it is also a great and unrecognized problem in the developed countries, especially in the field of education. “Digital disconnection” is a key problem for School and Uni...

Telomere length shortens with aging, and short telomeres have been linked to a wide variety of pathologies. Previous studies suggested a discrepancy in age-associated telomere shortening rate estimated by cross-sectional studies versus the rate measured in longitudinal studies, indicating a potential bias in cross-sectional estimates. Intergenerational changes in initial telomere length, such a...

This study uses a unique dataset linking the birth records of two generations of children born in California and Florida (1970-2009) to analyze the mechanisms behind the generational decline observed in birth outcomes of children of Mexican origin. Calibrating a simple model of intergenerational transmission of birth weight, I show that modest positive selection on health at the time of migrati...

However, little is known about Generation Z, who are now entering the labour market, this presents challenges to both researchers companies.

Phenological patterns of flowering and fruiting can be influenced by the effects of reproductive time on seed production. We propose here that these patterns are also influenced by phenological effects on offspring quality. Furthermore, we hypothesize that there are cross-generational trade-offs between parental and offspring components of parental fitness influencing the evolution of reproduct...

Latino college students (M age=21.4 years) completed self-report surveys assessing adolescent dating experiences. Compared to young men (n=69), young women (n=97) had more limitations placed on them by parents as adolescents and began dating later. No gender difference in timing of the first serious relationship emerged. More young women had their first relationship with a Latino, and having a ...
