Where men and women are not segregated by arbitrarily defined capability but deeply entrenched in each others success, the lessons from Women in STEM Conference may show the path to end the gender war for women in STEM.
Barring an injury or disabling disease, most of us think of the ability to walk as a defining capability of the human body.
It is expected that by the time students graduate, they will have developed defined capabilities which meet the expectations of the public for safe and effective clinical practice.
The concept of capability-centred justice is introduced by Sen [11], who defines capability as 'a person's freedom to pursue functionings that he/she has reason to value' ([12], p. 4 5), where functionings are what constitute a person's being with both a well-being and an agency aspect ([12], p. 59-62).
The caregiver capabilities framework builds on work by several theorists, notably Engle et al [ 13], who extended the 1990 UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) framework to define several resources a caregiver would need to provide appropriate care, and Nussbaum, whose conceptualization of the human capabilities approach [ 14] included a defined list of capabilities [ 15].
We define capabilities not as "people capabilities," but as the interconnected people, knowledge, systems, tools and processes that create differentiated value.
The virulence of Francisella tularensis depends on its growth capabilities within a defined environmental niche of the host cell.
First, we needed a low background of NFAT/c- fos expression in order to compare the relative gene expression capabilities of a defined pulse of Ca2+ entry through V102C-Orai1 withathathroughgh endogenous Orai1 channels confined to ER-PM junctions.
Synthetic biology provides the tools and techniques to design and construct artificial cells with minimal functionality containing a minimal genome, but with all the essential genes for survival in a defined environment and possessing replication capabilities [ 8].
Further, Makadok (2001) connects resources to the term "capabilities," defining a capability as "a special type of resource specifically, an organizationally-embedded, non-transferable firm-specific resource whose purpose is to improve the productivity of the other resources possessed by the firm" (p. 389).
We defined a capability as anything an organization does well that drives meaningful business results.
