Thus as students develop into research scientists, introductory statistics serves as a gateway course. If students struggle to incorporate statistics into their knowledge base, they may be effectively kept from careers that rely on statistics. Students who are Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) learn differently and thus may lag behind their hearing counterparts in mainstream classrooms. In part, a gap in language knowledge can impede the understanding of statistics topics. What is a variable? What does it mean to have a distribution? With sign language interpreters and other support services, many mainstream instructors believe that DHH students have equal access to learning in their classrooms. Yet variations of instructional skill, interpreter knowledge of the discipline, and the lack of alternative representations of content often result in access that falls short of "...

The research objective is to identify barriers for current women STEM faculty in regards to rank, tenure, career advancement, leadership role progression, and resource allocation in order to establish how well the university addresses issues that have been found to be important in the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women faculty. During the study, the research team seeks to answer six primary research questions: 1) What is the distribution of STEM faculty by gender, rank, and department? 2) What are the outcomes of institutional processes of recruitment ...

Eighteen teams of four students were comprised of either all deaf or hard of hearing (DHH), all hearing, or two DHH and two hearing postsecondary students who participated in group problem-solving. Successful problem solution, recall, and recognition of knowledge shared by team members were assessed. Hearing teams shared the most team knowledge and achieved the most complete problem solutions, followed by the mixed DHH/hearing teams. DHH teams did not perform as well as the other two types of teams.

Comprehensive pain assessment relies not only on the availability of assessment tools, but also on a clinician's knowledge, training, prior experience, and keen awareness of their own implicit bias and how it may influence their assessment and decisions. The purpose of this project was to develop, implement, and evaluate outcomes of a two-part online learning module on home healthcare clinicians' knowledge of pain. A quasi-experimental, one-group pretest posttest design was used. Of the 94 clinicians who volunteered, 54 participants completed all modules and surveys. Mean posttest scores (58.7%) were significantly higher than pretest scores (50.7%; n = 54, T = 3.08, p-value = 0.003). The strongest gains in learning occurred for those with lower pretest scores. The mean difference between posttest and pretest scores did not vary among job titles. There was no significant difference in posttest scores among job titles. A higher mean pretest score was associated with greater years of clinical experience, but did not significantly affect mean posttest scores. These findings suggest elearning is an effective educational approach to improve home healthcare clinicians' pain knowledge, particularly those who lack a sufficient knowledge base at the outset.

It was recently demonstrated that fibrous degeneration is significantly associated with postmenopausal status in both small and large myomas. Objective.—The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether reduction in myoma cell size is also associated with postmenopausal status in small myomas. Design.—Tumor size and patient age have also been related to fibrous degeneration in small (<1 cm) myomas. Therefore, in the present study, 10 pairs of premenopausal and postmenopausal small myomas were matched within 3 years for patient age, within 1 mm for size, and within 1 grade for degree of fibrous degeneration. Most of the women were in their 50s, the decade during which postmenopausal fibrous degeneration in small myomas is most prevalent. Myoma cell size was derived by morphometric evaluation of relative myoma cell area (correcting for percentage of stro...
