“…McGee et al, 2012;symposium, 2011). Other authors recommended increasing the number of women and minorities when recruiting staff or students, but stopped short of recommending quotas (Jackson et al, 2019;O'Herrin et al, 2018;Oh & Lewis, 2005). As will be seen throughout the findings, some strategies put the onus on women of color and their communities, suggesting that certain ethnic backgrounds discouraged women from entering science (Hill et al, 1990;Stokes et al, 2015).…”

The prevalence of gendered racism has resulted in the ongoing under-representation of women of color in science careers. Furthermore, organizational strategies enacted through HR policy and training claim to address such inequality, yet often fail to address the impact of both race and gender. As a result, women of color develop their own individual coping and resistance strategies, thus putting the onus for countering gendered racism onto its victims. This paper offers a scoping review of the extant literature, using Floya Anthias’ intersectional model of social spaces to identify gaps in the literature. The model organizes the literature into Anthias’ four social spaces: organizational, interpersonal, representational, and experiential. In identifying gaps in the literature, the study highlights theoretical pathways for future research. The study finds that strategies relating to gendered racism within organizational policy are over-represented, while strategies addressing intersubjective behaviors and the representation of women of color in organizations are under-represented.

Linking Social Perception and Provision of Ecosystem Services in a Sprawling Urban Landscape: A Case Study of Multan, Pakistan

Urban sprawl causes changes in land use and a decline in many ecosystem services. Understanding the spatial patterns of sprawl and exploration of citizens’ perception towards the sporadic urban expansion and its impacts on an ecosystem to deliver services can help to guide land use planning and the conservation of the urban ecosystem. Here, we spatially examined land use changes in Multan, Pakistan, and investigated public perception about urban sprawl and its impacts on the quality and provision of ecosystem services, using a survey instrument. The spatial analysis of the historical land cover of Multan indicated an exponential expansion of the city in the last decade. Large areas of natural vegetation and agricultural land were converted to urban settlements in the past two decades. The citizens of Multan believe that the quality and provision of ecosystem services have declined in the recent past and strongly correlate the deteriorating ecosystem services with urban sprawl. Education and income levels of the respondents are the strongest predictors of urban ecosystem health literacy. Citizens associated with laborious outdoor jobs are more sensitive to the changes in ecosystem services. We concluded that the rapidly expanding cities, especially in the tropical arid zones, need to be prioritized for an increase in vegetation cover, and economically vulnerable settlements in these cities should be emphasized in climate change mitigation campaigns.

“…Regardless of the discipline area, the perception of a career, school, teachers, or even facilities can influence a high school student's decision to pursue a degree. In addition, there is a wide range of academic offerings by educational institutions in related disciplinary areas, which can confuse students, so perception would help the student not only to decide on which career to studying, but also where to study it (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine 2018;O'Herrin et al 2018). In this category, we show some studies that address the quality perception of students about the programs offered.…”

Despite the great need for computer-related career professionals, some universities that offer specialties to develop professionals with knowledge to cover the mention need, present a decrease in enrollment, which can cause a wide variety of problems. That is why in this paper we set out to investigate what the main factors that directly or indirectly affect student enrollment in computer-related careers are, to establish a literature-based starting point, and to help select the best possible strategy to improve enrollment. To reach this goal, we did a documentary research, categorizing each one of the factors with its respective analysis. In the results, we explain several challenges that educators face, due to the evolution of society needs, two of them are: teaching-learning models and technology; besides, it became evident that the relevance of this academic programs remain available since there is a high demand for these professionals in Mexico, as well as in the world; finally, we showed some intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors that have an essential relevance at the time that a student chooses the career to study. On the other hand, we reflected that the perception of everything that involves the study of a Computing-related career is a factor to be considered in the selection of an educational program of higher education. This study could be a reference for universities that are facing decreasing enrollment concerns. In conclusion, we analyzed and identified the main factors that have an impact on the demand for a career related to engineering, providing possible lines of action for increasing school enrollment.
