Gender and leadership in Greek primary education by Papanastasiou, Efthymia

“…Women constitute more than half of the teaching force in primary schools in Greece but men are more likely than women to achieve headship.

Vestibular-evoked potentials (VsEPs) produced by an impulsive acceleration applied at the nasion by Todd, Neil P. M., McLean, Aisha, Paillard, Aurore, Kluk, Karolina, Colebatch, James G.

“…Source analysis confirmed that the finger evoked potentials were somatosensory in origin, i.e. were somatosensory evoked potentials, and suggested that the nasion evoked potentials plausibly included vestibular midline and frontal sources, as well as contributions from the eyes, and thus were likely VsEPs. These results show considerable promise as a new method for assessment of the central vestibular system by means of VsEPs produced by IA applied to the head.…”
