Humor in middle management: women negotiating the paradoxes of organizational life     

Diane M. Martin 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2004,32(2):147-170

Women in middle management continue to face multiple paradoxes arising from their structural and gendered locations that add to the uncertainty of negotiating organizational life. Investigating the lived experiences of women middle managers can illuminate the constraints and paradoxes endemic to organizing, for such experiences foreground tensions at the intersection of structure, identity, agency, and power. Specifically, this contextual investigation of conversational humor explores links between organizational status, gender, and paradox. In so doing, it demonstrates how women can use humor to negotiate managerial identities and to navigate organizational life. This study uncovers nuanced and important communication tactics of middle management women. This study also reveals the value of investigating the complex convergence of humor, gender, and organizational communication theory.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

We performed a randomized, controlled trial to analyse the effects of resistance training (RT) on cognitive and physical function among older adults. Fifty participants (mean age 67 years, ~60% woman) were randomly assigned to an RT program or a control group. Participants allocated to RT performed three sets of 10-15RM in nine exercises, three times per week, for 12-weeks. Control group did not perform any exercise. Variables included cognitive (global and executive function) and physical function (gait, mobility and strength) outcomes. At completion of the intervention, RT was shown to have significantly mitigated the drop in selective attention and conflict resolution performance (Stroop test: -494.6; 95%CI: -883.1; ?106.1) and promoted a significant improvement in working memory (digit span forward: -0.6; 95%CI: ?1.0; ?0.1 and forward minus backward: -0.9; 95% CI: ?1.6; ?0.2) and verbal fluency (animal naming: +1.4, 95%CI 0.3, 2.5). No significant between-group differences were observed for other cognitive outcomes. Regarding physical function, at completion of the intervention, the RT group demonstrated improved fast-pace gait performance (?0.3; 95% CI: ?0.6; ?0.0) and 1-RM (+21.4 kg; 95%CI: 16.6; 26.2). No significant between-group differences were observed for other mobility-related outcomes. In conclusion, RT improves cognitive and physical function of older adults.  相似文献

Competence-based blended learning in building automation: towards a EU curriculum in ‘Domotica’     

L. Sommaruga  E. De Angelis 《European Journal of Engineering Education》2007,32(6):675-685

A competence-based approach was applied to a blended learning on line distance training in the Euroinno EU project aimed at vocational training in building automation. The current paper describes the experience gathered during the learning process and the definition of the curriculum. A number of issues emerged during the sessions concerning regional differences among the various European partners involved in the learning. Refusal to accept e-learning approaches has been considerable among teachers and students in piloting building automation courses, and mainly related to four factors in the tradition of adult education: curriculum tradition, oral tradition, lack of confidence in technical solutions to educational matters and lack of experience with the media.  相似文献

沈素珍 《南阳师范学院学报》2007,6(11):25-28

全面抗战爆发,冯先生随着清华大学流亡到昆明西南联合大学。民族兴亡"启示和激发"了冯先生的爱国情愫。为了复兴中华,他奋笔创造哲学体系,同时还直接投入联大的爱国活动。他出任校歌校训编制委员会主席,与同仁们殚精竭虑地一起进行创作,其中著名的校歌、进行曲的歌词以及纪念碑的碑文,均出自冯先生之手。冯先生的美文极大地张扬和鼓舞了联大师生的爱国主义精神和对抗战胜利的信心,促使了师生们的思想得到净化和升华,为联大培养爱国志士和世界一流人才作出了杰出的贡献。冯先生的爱国主义精神永垂青史。  相似文献   

抗战期间阎锡山为何能够偏安晋西达7年之久     

杨建中 《山西广播电视大学学报》2001,6(4):52-54

抗战时期，阎锡山在晋西偏安长达7年之久的原因有：主观上根据其“存在就是真正”的哲学观点，不断加强政治统治，多方开辟财源，积极扩充军队；客观上日军的诱降，根据地的屏障，国民党的支持。  相似文献

喷锚支护在高层建筑深基坑支护中的应用     

李春霞  郭栋 《洛阳工业高等专科学校学报》2006,16(1):40-41,44

高层建筑深基坑开挖过程中边坡稳定不容易保证,喷锚支护体系是将锚杆与滑裂面以外土体连成一个整体,再通过外拉系统与深基坑边坡组成一个整体受力体,承受主动土压力,利用土层的锚固力,维持被锚固体(边坡)的稳定,从而使得开挖的基坑获得广阔的空间。  相似文献
