Do STEM women feel ethically and emotionally better prepared for their careers than men?

Despite a growing imperative for graduates to possess STEM skills, both to boost their employability prospects and their perceived economic value, it is critical to also consider the professional or 'soft skills' that will enable these graduates to thrive in their careers. Ironically, gender differences in personality and occupational choice are larger, not smaller, in more gender-equal countries. This is known as the gender equality paradox and in STEM it highlights the importance of purposeful initiatives throughout the educational trajectory, even in countries with higher levels of gender equality.

Targeting the Tyrosine Kinase 2 (TYK2) Pseudokinase Domain: Discovery of the Selective TYK2 Inhibitor ABBV-712.

Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) is a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase that belongs to the JAK family also comprising JAK1, JAK2, and JAK3. TYK2 is an attractive target for various autoimmune diseases as it regulates signal transduction downstream of IL-23 and IL-12 receptors. Selective TYK2 inhibition offers a differentiated clinical profile compared to currently approved JAK inhibitors.

Developing Familiarity in a New Duo: Rehearsal Talk and Performance Cues.

Social and cognitive processes underlying individual classical musicians' and duo performers' preparation for performance have been explored using longitudinal case studies. Social processes can be inferred from and recent studies have focused on its content and nature. Cognitive processes can be inferred from score annotations representing musicians' thoughts while practicing, rehearsing (), and playing or singing from memory ().

Developing a competence framework for cognitive analytic therapy.

Objective: This paper describes the development and summarizes the content of a competence framework for delivery of cognitive analytic therapy (CAT).

Design: The framework was developed using the evidence-based method developed by Roth and Pilling (2008, Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy, 36, 129).

Methods: A review of the CAT outcome literature identified where CAT interventions had evidence of efficacy.

Developing a Framework for the Analysis of Program Notes Written for Contemporary Classical Music Concerts.

At classical music concerts, a program note is the usual medium for communicating information about the music to be heard and performed. Although there may be crossover of information, the program note is distinct from the CD cover note, from notes contained within a musical score note, and from a composer's directions for performers. With a focus on contemporary classical works in the Australian context, the researchers' aim in this study was to develop and test an analytical frame of informational categories with which to examine program note content.

The Composer's Program Note for Newly Written Classical Music: Content and Intentions.

In concerts of western classical music the provision of a program note is a widespread practice dating back to the 18th century and still commonly in use. Program notes tend to inform listeners and performers about historical context, composer biographical details, and compositional thinking. However, the scant program note research conducted to date reveals that program notes may not foster understanding or enhance listener enjoyment as previously assumed.

Cognitive analytic therapy for borderline personality disorder: therapist competence and therapeutic effectiveness in routine practice.

This study sought to examine the competency of cognitive analytic therapy (CAT) delivered under routine care conditions and to identify the effectiveness of CAT for patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Ten cognitive analytic therapists in six National Health Service Trust sites treated 19 patients with BPD using the standard CAT BPD contract of 24 sessions plus four follow-ups. The methodology was small N repeated measures deign, with patients interviewed at the third follow-up session using the Change Interview.

Chaotic mixing in microchannels via low frequency switching transverse electroosmotic flow generated on integrated microelectrodes.

In this paper we present a numerical and experimental investigation of a chaotic mixer in a microchannel via low frequency switching transverse electroosmotic flow. By applying a low frequency, square-wave electric field to a pair of parallel electrodes placed at the bottom of the channel, a complex 3D spatial and time-dependence flow was generated to stretch and fold the fluid. This significantly enhanced the mixing effect.

Resolving threats to the therapeutic alliance in cognitive analytic therapy of borderline personality disorder: a task analysis.

Background: Alliance ruptures and premature drop out from psychotherapy are very common with patients who have a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder, limiting the clinical effectiveness of treatment.

Aim: To test and refine a model of how therapists successfully resolve threats to the therapeutic alliance involving enactment of problematic relationship patterns in the cognitive analytic therapy of borderline personality disorder.

Method: Task analysis (Greenberg, 1984a) of 107 enactments from 66 sessions in four good outcome cases, compared with 35 enactments from 16 sessions in two poor outcome cases.
