To identify whether culture matters, we estimate whether the math gender gap for each immigrant group living in a particular host country (and exposed to the same host country's laws and institutions) is explained by measures of gender equality in the parents' country of ancestry. We find ...
collaboration network variables shrinks this gap to only 19.9%. Hence, in contrast to gendered differences (Fig.2), we find that the inequalities in productivity and prominence associated with environmental prestige cannot be explained entirely by differences in the structure of collaboration networks, ...
economic growth, urbanization, trade, and FDI as a determinant of human capital. Whereas, Qasim and Chaudhary (2015) explained the role of social infrastructure, remittances, industrialization, and population density in human
A bi-factor model comprising a general cognitive factor as well as a math-specific ability factor showed the best model fit for both age groups. Results confirmed that mathematical achievement can be explained by a general cognitive component and a domain-specific component. Hence, the nested-...
“I feel excited not only to break the Guinness World Record, but also to diminish the gender gap by 11 years between the current youngest male record holder Travis Ludlow 18 at the time of his record, and the previous female record holder Shaesta Waez, who was 30 when she completed her...
Hiemstra is optimistic that the global gender wage gap will close sooner than WEF’s current prediction: “The further out you look, the more choice you have to create a future you prefer, rather than merely adjusting,” he tells CNBC Make It. In the meantime, here are 10 enormous ways ...
It was clear from day one that all the students in the class were there together to practice math–to grow as students and people. For the first half of the semester certain topics were unheard of. We talked about education: what classes we were in, what our aspirations were. We saw ...
First, let’s do some math. Supposedly, we women–you know, the large monolithic group of us–are most concerned about the economy. If that’s true, and given the fact that most women these days, married or not, are also working, doesn’t it make sense that the vast majority of us...
Alternative splicing (AS) is a fundamental step in eukaryotic mRNA biogenesis. Here, we develop an efficient and reproducible pipeline for the discovery of genetic variants that affect AS (splicing QTLs, sQTLs). We use it to analyze the GTEx dataset, gen
(two-tailed Wilcoxon test, *FDR < 0.05).cThe explained variance (R2) contributed by age (children and adults) based on the hamming distance of core genes per species and Jaccard distance of presence/absence genes (two-tailed Wilcoxon test, *FDR < 0.05).dThe unique functional ...
