- Militaries and militarism are among the most obviously gendered of all organizational activities. The military is also one of the clearest arenas of social power, violence and killing in their many guises. Military matters are urgent, powerful and lethal. The ways armies and those in them are organized and act are literally questions of life and death for all concerned. This chapter brings together studies on men and masculinities with those in the military and military organizations. Men, militarism and the military are historically, profoundly and blatantly interconnected. These interconnections have often either been simply accepted or it has gone unnoticed that these military persons are largely men. Indeed, many, though not all, armies and other fighting forces of the world have been and still are armies composed mainly of men, young men and boys. Those engaged in active combat and direct fighting in wars are often young men and boys. In the chapter, we address the place of men and masculinities in some key organizational issues in military organization and militarism, most notably recruitment, hierarchies and segregations, disability and veterans, and the impacts of these organizations on civilians, before concluding remarks on wider processes and impacts, on research, scientific and technological organizations, on international relations and geopolitics, and on the environment.

- This chapter argues that combining recent work in critical studies on men and masculinities (CSMM) with critical leadership studies (CLS) has the potential to open up important new research agendas in the broad area of gender and leadership and more particularly in relation to men, masculinities, and leadership. Its starting point is Collinson and Hearn’s 1994 Gender, Work & Organization article, “Naming men as men: Implications for work, organizations and management. ”Collinson and Hearn sought to make the gendered social category of men explicit in studying work, organizations, and management. This involved interrogating debates on patriarchies and multiple masculinities, as well as analytical questions around exclusion, differences, meaning, and power. The relevance of these issues was discussed in relation to (material) discourses of masculinity in management: paternalism, authoritarianism, entrepreneurialism, informalism, careerism.

- "By assembling an international cast of contributors from all walks of research life, Professors Prasad, Pringle and Konrad successfully broaden the scope of scholarly discourse on workplace diversity. This stimulating volume considers how to define this fuzzy construct, what "differences" are more important than others, and how to make best use of alternative research methods at different levels of analysis. It reviews what we have learned about workplace diversity along several important dimensions (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity, weight, sexual orientation, disabilities, class), and it offers useful recommendations for how to conduct future research that will expand our knowledge of the implications of diversity for individuals, marginalized groups, work organizations, and societies'" - Gary N Powell, Professor of Management, University of Connecticut"In this much-needed Handbook, an international collection of first-rate scholars deals incisively and perceptively with the problems of diversity, difference, inclusion, and cultural pluralism in organizations.This Handbook will be invaluable for researchers and advanced students - one of those books that stays on the top of the desk, covered with bookmarks'" - Joanne Martin, Stanford UniversityGlobalization and its melting pot of different nationalities, ethnicities and cultures is attracting research that is gathering in substance and theory. A dynamic new field that represents a significant focus within management and organisation studies is emerging.This Handbook showcases the scope of international perspectives that exist on workplace diversity and is the first to define this hotly contested field.Part I of the Handbook dissects the theoretical reasons and shows how the study of workplace diversity follows different directions. Part II critiques quantitative and qualitative research methods within the field, while Part III investigates the parallels and distinctions between different workplace groups. Key issues are drawn together in an insightful introduction from the editors, and future directions for research are proposed in the conclusion.The Handbook of Workforce Diversity is an indispensable resource for students and academics of human resource management, organizational behavior, organizational psychology and organization studies.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This introductory chapter to the Handbook sets out some of the major contexts for the development and growth of focused studies on the relations of men, masculinities, organizations and organizing – a topic that is always topical. Earlier studies are briefly reviewed before considering the range of theoretical, disciplinary and methodological approaches that are relevant to this focus of study and research. The chapter continues with discussions of three key framings: critical studies of men and masculinities; debates on intersectionality/ies; and the ever-present importance of histories and power for understanding the relations of men, masculinities, organizations and organizing. The chapter concludes with an overview of the volume, including short summaries of all the other chapters of the Handbook, followed by final comments on the relevance of these issues for transforming academia, writing and publishing.

MAVEN observations of the response of Mars to an interplanetary coronal mass ejection

- Coupling between the lower and upper atmosphere, combined with loss of gas from the upper atmosphere to space, likely contributed to the thin, cold, dry atmosphere of modern Mars. To help understand ongoing ion loss to space, the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft made comprehensive measurements of the Mars upper atmosphere, ionosphere, and interactions with the Sun and solar wind during an interplanetary coronal mass ejection impact in March 2015. Responses include changes in the bow shock and magnetosheath, formation of widespread diffuse aurora, and enhancement of pick-up ions. Observations and models both show an enhancement in escape rate of ions to space during the event. Ion loss during solar events early in Mars history may have been a major contributor to the long-term evolution of the Mars atmosphere.

- The C-terminal (CT) toxin domains of contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) CdiA proteins target Gram-negative bacteria and must breach both the outer and inner membranes of target cells to exert growth inhibitory activity. Here, we examine two CdiA-CT toxins that exploit the bacterial general protein secretion machinery after delivery into the periplasm. A Ser281Phe amino acid substitution in transmembrane segment 7 of SecY, the universally conserved channel-forming subunit of the Sec translocon, decreases the cytotoxicity of the membrane depolarizing orphan10 toxin from enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli EC869. Target cells expressing secY(S281F) and lacking either PpiD or YfgM, two SecY auxiliary factors, are fully protected from CDI-mediated inhibition either by CdiA-CTo10EC869 or by CdiA-CTGN05224, the latter being an EndoU RNase CdiA toxin from Klebsiella aerogenes GN05224 that has a related cytoplasm entry domain. RNase activity of CdiA-CTGN05224 was reduced in secY(S281F) target cells and absent in secY(S281F) Delta ppiD or secY(S281F) Delta yfgM target cells during competition co-cultures. Importantly, an allele-specific mutation in secY (secY(G313W)) renders DppiD or Delta yfgM target cells specifically resistant to CdiA-CTGN05224 but not to CdiA-CTo10EC869, further suggesting a direct interaction between SecY and the CDI toxins. Our results provide genetic evidence of a unique confluence between the primary cellular export route for unfolded polypeptides and the import pathways of two CDI toxins. IMPORTANCE Many bacterial species interact via direct cell-to-cell contact using CDI systems, which provide a mechanism to inject toxins that inhibit bacterial growth into one another. Here, we find that two CDI toxins, one that depolarizes membranes and another that degrades RNA, exploit the universally conserved SecY translocon machinery used to export proteins for target cell entry. Mutations in genes coding for members of the Sec translocon render cells resistant to these CDI toxins by blocking their movement into and through target cell membranes. This work lays the foundation for understanding how CDI toxins interact with the protein export machinery and has direct relevance to development of new antibiotics that can penetrate bacterial cell envelopes.

Routledge Handbook on Men, Masculinities and Organizations : Theories, Practices and Futures of Organizing
- 2023. - 1
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This Handbook provides new theoretical and empirical insights into men, men’s practices and masculinities across many kinds of organizations and forms of organizing. Most mainstream studies of organizations, leadership and management do not seem to notice they are often talking a lot about men and masculinities. The Handbook challenges this general tendency to avoid gendering men by bringing together a range of theoretical and methodological approaches that:engage with not only formal organizations, such as businesses and state organizations, but also processes of organizing within and beyond organizations; address emergent and future issues on men, masculinities and organizations, such as tech masculinities, men’s emotions, sexualities and violences, animal advocacy and environmental issues, and men and masculinities in pandemics.Targeted at scholars, policymakers, practitioners and students interested in links between men, masculinities, organizations and organizing, this landmark Handbook is an invaluable resource for those working in and beyond such fi elds as gender studies, organization, leadership and management studies, political science, sociology, social and public policy, and social movement studies.
