Managing diversity is of strategic significance to competitive advantages of an organization. With internationalization of business, advanced telecommunication technology and rapid pace of work and life, diverse workforce has become a commonality (Mavin and Girling, 2000). The scope of diversity varies from gender, age, religion, ethnicity to values, characters and beliefs with gender as the most common and oldest topic of discussion in HRM studies (Shen et al, 2009). In the case of DuPont Beijing, gender inequality could be indicated by the gender spillover effects and the number of female in positions of head of department. According to Greer et al (2001), gender spillover effects refer to the fact that allocation of task is determined by gender expectations and stereotypes rather than actual capabilities (Greer et al, 2001). For instance, the departments of corporate communication and human resources in DuPont Beijing are dominated by female employees while the department of IT and R&D are dominated by male employees. As to this case, HR in the organization tends to recruit and evaluate candidates based on gender stereotypes and discrimination. Indeed, there is no doubt in some positions, female displays more advantages while in other positions, male are more suitable. However, gender inequality not only occurs in position preferences but also in evaluation and appraisal. According to the research done by Shen et al (2009), female employees are paid less than their male counterparts. Consequently, it undermines employee morale and affects corporate reputation.

What happens if the arterial blood pH is 7.55?

Asked by Wiki User

This is too high, a situation called alkalemia. This will distort the ability of the blood to transport carbon dioxide and oxygen as well as alter the balance of electrolytes. If left untreated, alkalemia can be fatal.

Why cancer cells are difficult to destroy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When your body's cells replicate, they go through 3 phases. The first being the growth phase. The second being synthesis or replication of the DNA. The third being the phase where it checks over the replicated DNA to check for any errors (or spell check kind of). Cancer is when those body cells that are being replicated, are replicating way too fast for them to go through the 3rd phase and get checked for errors. Usually, when they are replicating this fast, there is some sort of mutation that is causing them to replicate this quickly.

When these cells skip the spell check, they have a mutation and this mutation causes the mutated DNA to take over all of the normal DNA. If the cancer is caught early enough, then there are technologies that can get rid of the small amount of mutated DNA but if noticed too late, the cancer cells have already taken over that persons body, and it would take some extensive treatment to even attempt to get rid of all the cancer cells..

Hopefully this helped answer your question. :)

What is the neurological reason for epilepsy?

User Avatar

Asked by Aly38dolly

First of all let me start off by saying that Epilepsy is the word used when someone has more than one seizure. There are many reasons why you could have Epilepsy, or could have developed it. You could have been born with it, you could of had a head injury, you could have taking the wrong drug or medication. Honestly, there are so many different types of seizures and I am just learning myself that you can have a seizure and not even no it, you can even have seizures in your sleep. I am 32 years old and i was diagnosed as an Epileptic 4 years ago. Let me tell you it has been draining. I am finding out that I have different kinds of seizures that may have even started as early as 10 years ago or more. The truth being that doctors are now finding more and more types of seizures that exist every day. I don't know why i developed it, but if I had to guess it would be because of all the drinking I did when I was younger and being on so many different medications for depression and anxiety, my Doctor would put me on something and if it didn't work he would take me off of it and put me on something else, I have sensitivities to medications also, I no longer have depression but at the time it was like having bottles of different pills just dumped on my brain. It is unfortunate that some doctors just don't care as ling as they get that extra money for writing you that script. but anyways I didn't mean to get off subject, I do that alot LOL. I hope that I helped at least a little. It is a hard thing to go through.

Which test is performed to diagnose hypoxemia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The following tests are done:

  • Blood tests, including arterial blood gases and blood chemical levels
  • CT scan of the head
  • Echocardiogram
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG), a measurement of the heart's electrical activity
  • Electroencephalogram (EEG), a test of brain waves that can identify seizures and show how well brain cells work
  • Evoked potentials, a test that determines whether certain sensations such as vision and touch reach the brain
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head

Is influenza living and nonliving?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A virus is non living as according to the modified Cell Theory, cells are defined as the basic building blocks of life, while viruses are not made up of cells. In fact, a virus is nothing more than a protein capsid encapsulating genetic material (either DNA or RNA), hence a virus would more correctly be termed as an infectious particle.


Viruses are non-living.
Virus are living object because:

They possess genetic material DNAs or RNAs. They can reproduce and mutate. They react to stimuli such as radiation, chemicals and heat. They possess antigenic properties. They are capable to multiply with same genetic constituent.

Virus are non-living because:

They can be crystalize like non living material. They are inert like chemical outside the host. Cell wall and cell membranes are absent. Protoplasm is also absent. They do not have any functional anatomy. They can not multiply without host nuclear machinsery.

However, in order to be qualified to be a living organism, it must be able to show all of the characteristics of life, therefore viruses are not living.
Viruses are not considered non living because alone they cannot replicate, they need a host (another living cell) to replicate. They do not have cells. Biologically speaking they are non-living things.

What is the qualification to become a pathology assistant?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most of the PA programs for pathology assistant students are masters degree programs that require you to have a bachelors degree in a science field. When you complete the two year masters program you will receive a masters of pathology and be eligible to take the national exam. But I have also seen a few schools that offer bachelors degree programs in PA and you do not need to get your masters, google "Pathology Assistant Accredited Programs" I'm strongly considering it myself.

Can I be put to sleep for a bone marrow biopsy?

Asked by Wiki User

You could be anesthetized for a bone marrow biopsy if you request it strongly enough. I believe in general that people are heavily sedated with strong local anesthetic prior to this procedure anyway since it is relatively painful.
