Does the security of women influence the security and behavior of states? Existing evidence
linking the situation of women to state-level variables such as economic prosperity and
growth, health, and corruption is fairly conclusive. Questions remain, however, concerning
the degree to which state security and state security-related behavior is linked to the security
of women. The “women and peace” thesis draws upon evolutionary biology/psychology for
ultimate causes of this linkage, and sociological theories of social diffusion and …

Teachers respond particularly well to in-class coaches, and so coaches need to be proficient
in a variety of techniques for providing in-class technical support. Teachers are more likely to
“buy in” and change their own instructional practices when coaches come into their
classrooms and model instructional techniques. In order to provide effective in-class support,
coaches need to be proficient in a variety of techniques, including in-class instructional
modeling, joint lesson planning, co-teaching, formal observation and feedback, informal one …

As it faces the transition marked by the death or retirement of most of its first‐generation
founders, the field of family therapy finds itself still unable to answer the critical question of
what it is that makes family therapy work. The two dominant approaches to answering this
question, the common‐factors perspective and the model‐specific factors perspective,

Cardiovascular disease is among the main causes of morbidity and mortality in developed
countries. The pathological process of the heart is associated with altered expression profile
of genes that are important for cardiac function. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as one
of the central players of gene expression regulation. The implications of miRNAs in the
pathological process of cardiovascular system have recently been recognized, representing
the most rapidly evolving research field. Here, we summarize and analyze the currently …
