Who Can Assert Ownership Over Automation? Workplace Technological Change, Populist and Ethno-nationalist Rhetoric, and Candidate Support
Authors: Borwein Sophie , Bonikowski Bart , Loewen Peter John , Magistro Beatrice , Lee-Whiting Blake
Published: March 2023

Technological change has dramatically reshaped labour markets, but technology’s distributional implications have to date been less politicized than other economic shocks. However, as technological advances accelerate, political parties may face growing incentive to "claim" the issue. Candidates proposing to protect workers against technological change may appeal directly to workers’ economic concerns, but if technology is perceived similarly to other economic shocks, workers may also be mobilized through populist and ethno-nationalist appeals. This paper asks: compared to other shocks, what kind of messaging around workplace technological change resonates with voters? We examine this question through a ten-country survey experiment that randomizes respondents into reading about a candidate proposing to protect workers against offshoring, automation and AI, or changing consumer demand, using either populist rhetoric, populist and ethno-nationalist rhetoric, or no additional messaging. We find that overall support for protecting workers against technology is lower than for other shocks, but that all types of candidate messaging appeals to workers who feel vulnerable to technology.

Published: March 2023

Academic entrepreneurship is crucial in the development of human society. Considering the current landscape of academia and business, academic entrepreneurial attempts can be risky, especially for female scientists. Prior knowledge from business experience can be a valuable input in the information process of entrepreneurial intention. Using the information-processing-based Bayesian Mindsponge Framework (BMF), we conducted Bayesian analysis on a dataset of 1027 scientists in Chile. The results show that male scientists likely have higher entrepreneurial intentions than female scientists. In general, experiences of company creation enhances the likelihood of academic entrepreneurial intention, whereas experiences of company failure have no clear effect. However, when considering the interaction with the gender factor, it was found that males have a stronger positive effect from experiences of company creation, and experiences of company failure have a positive effect on entrepreneurial intention in males. The gender differences may be due to inequalities in academia and entrepreneurship, as well as a higher tendency of risk aversion in females. In the modern world where technology is rapidly advancing, more opportunities for academic entrepreneurs are opening up, and at the same time, female scientists can be better empowered, especially in low- and middle-income countries.

Looking Round: The viewpoint dependence of body size aftereffects
Authors: Brooks Kevin R. , Stephen Ian D , marie.angela.echevarria@gmail.com
Published: March 2023

Visual exposure, known as ‘adaptation’ to thin (large) bodies has been shown to induce a perceptual bias where subsequently viewed bodies appear larger (thinner) than they are. This bias is called the body size aftereffect. The current study tested whether the body size aftereffect generalises across viewpoints, such that adaptation to a body seen from one viewpoint (frontal; 0°) causes aftereffects for stimuli over a range of viewpoints (0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 150°, 180°). Further, we tested whether the magnitude of the aftereffect was viewpoint dependent. Overall, body size aftereffect was successfully induced after exposure to both low-adiposity and high adiposity adaptors. While viewpoint dependence was shown, we did not observe the classic monotonic decline of aftereffect magnitude as the test viewpoint diverges from the adaptation viewpoint. Instead, results were better described by a parabolic function, showing a decrease then an increase of aftereffect magnitude. The findings provide insight into the neural mechanisms underlying body perception, revealing that bodies are perceived by broadly tuned neural mechanisms, and suggesting that the size and shape of bodies may be evaluated at some level by their overall outline.
Racial disparities in fetal and infant outcomes: a multiple-decrement life table approach
Authors: Alexander Monica , Root Leslie
Published: March 2023

We discuss different frameworks to conceptualize age in the gestational period and in the first year of life, and then apply two conceptualizations to quantify racial/ethnic differences on a range of different fetal and infant outcomes in the United States. In particular, we focus on the extended approach, which combines gestational age and age in the first year of life onto a continuum of adjusted age since conception, and the gestational approach, which takes the viewpoint of gestation but considers both fetal outcomes and eventual outcomes in the first year of life. Both approaches use a multiple-decrement life table framework, accounting for decrements that related to all potential outcomes, including birth, fetal death, and infant death or survival. We find that the risks of both fetal and infant death are non-linear over the gestational age period and early weeks of life, with the highest risks at the beginning of the period (at 20 weeks) but also at around 37-40 weeks. The relative risks of different race/ethnic groups also change across age; in particular, the non-Hispanic Black population has a heightened risk of all adverse outcomes, but the magnitude of the difference in risk depends on gestational age, and in general, disparities are lowest in the mid-range of gestational ages.
Error Analysis of Written English Composition: A Case of Basic Level Students
Authors: Neupane Ram Nath
Published: March 2023

Error analysis is an important branch of applied linguistics which deals with errors committed by second or foreign language learners. The present article is about error analysis that aims to investigate the frequency, types and causes of errors committed by basic level students. To accomplish the objectives, the researcher adopted positivist philosophical approach and survey research design. The researcher collected the data from two schools of Palpa and two schools of Rupandehi consisting ten students from each school. Writing composition was the main tool for data collection and the collected data were categorized into different categories such as verb tense, subject verb agreement, inappropriate use of article, wrong use of preposition. The frequency of occurrence of errors and their causes were analyzed. The findings of the study highlight that the most of basic level students commit grammatical errors in sub-verb agreement and they are caused due to intralingual as well as interlingual factors. This study can play a pivotal role for improving writing skills of students.

Species of the Weigela genus, Caprifoliaceae family, are currently used in folk medicine, specifically in Asia. Chemical compounds extracted from species of this plant genus have many strong biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-complementary, immune and cytotoxicity on some cancer cell lines. A qualitative study on the chemical composition of leaves of W. florida (Bunge) A. DC led to an identification of flavonoid, tannin, terpenoid and triterpenoid saponin, whereas cardiac glycoside, alkaloid and steroid were found to be absent. Total saponin content was quantified to be 2.66% (wt%) from the initial sample using the chromatography method. A diglycosidic hederagenin-type triterpenoid saponin was isolated using different chromatographical methods, in combination with 1D and 2D spectroscopic methods and mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS).

Several recent studies have revealed the presence of antibiotics in the Saigon river water; however, little information is known about its abundance and correlation with water quality. Two typical antibiotics, Ciprofloxacin and Ofloxacin, were selected for this study to examine how they correlate with water quality parameters. The results have reflected that regarding the antibiotic concentration fluctuations, antibiotic concentration was gradually increased from the watershed (average concentration of Ciprofloxacin was about 81 ng/l and Ofloxacin was about 59 ng/l) to the middle of the river (Ciprofloxacin: 269 ng/l and Ofloxacin: 207 ng/l) and downstream (Ciprofloxacin: 341 ng/l and Ofloxacin: 276 ng/l). In the watershed, the concentration of antibiotics was much lower than the regional mean, with a difference of roughly 226.3% for Ciprofloxacin (average concentration was about 265 ng/l) and 253.0% for Ofloxacin (average concentration was about 209 ng/l). Antibiotics and water quality measures were correlated in the same order, but the correlation coefficient for two variables was lower than that for three random variables and more than three variables. Therefore, when evaluating the relationship between antibiotics and water quality, it is essential to take into account the correlation with as many parameters as possible.

To assess Vietnam’s water security, it is necessary to develop a framework along with the indicators for evaluating the water security index (WSI). The water security assessment framework is based on the selection of indicators according to the SMART, KPI criteria, and the WSI framework proposed by several international organisations and scientists around the world, taking into account the characteristics of water resources in Vietnam, including the key factors affecting water security and data, accommodatable data for the calculation requirements, scale, and level of detail. The article presents a framework for assessing water security in Vietnam (national scale, region, river basin, and province/city). At the same time, the authors have provided a method and illustrated how to identify a number of key indicators (or indices) in the water security framework as the basis for assessing Vietnam’s water security.

Published: March 2023

Kampung Sanan Malang has long been known as a center for making tempeh. It has been a long time since the Sanan Malang Tempe and Tempe Chips Production Center Association was established, which has 636 tempe producers as members. Some of its members have been able to process tempeh into various types of preparations. The innovation made in 2021 is named Character Tempe, namely tempeh in the form of animal characters, or fruits. During the trial period, character tempeh was produced using plastic cake molds. The problem faced is that members of this community want to be able to produce this tempeh with a larger production volume, and a more varied product. The reason is that no craftsmen have been able to make their own character models that are more varied as desired. Craftsmen also have not been able to make their own molds. The solution offered is training: making character models using plasticine, training on printing these models using RTV food grade. At the end of this activity, the craftsmen have the ability to produce processed tempeh characters quickly and with good quality so that they become a new Sanan Malang specialty product.

Published: March 2023

The prevalence of cognitive impairment is extremely high in dialysis patients, and it has been hypothesized that low urea clearance has an impact on cognitive impairment. However, several other studies conducted in the era of high-flux dialysis have not shown an association between lower Kt/V and poorer cognitive function. Therefore, studies that directly examine the relationship between dialysis adequacy and cognitive function in hemodialysis patients are essential. The present study aimed to investigate the cognitive functions of hemodialysis patients and their relationship with dialysis adequacy.

Methods. This cross-sectional observational study included 100 patients and 100 healthy volunteers. Dialysis adequacy was assessed by the Kt/V ratio in the previous month. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test (MoCA), and the Clock Drawing Test (CDT) were used to assess cognitive function. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the significant association between the cognitive assessments and the independent variables (Kt/V, age, education, hemoglobin, and albumin).

Results. There were no significant differences between patients and controls in age and sex. Patients had a mean Kt/V ratio of 1.52±0.29. MMSE, MoCA, and CDT were lower in patients than in controls. There were strong positive correlations between MMSE and Kt/V (r = 0.81), MoCA and Kt/V (r = 0.84), CDT and Kt/V (r = 0.79).

Conclusion. Cognitive functions in hemodialysis patients were significantly decreased compared with healthy controls and associated with dialysis adequacy. Dialysis adequacy should be questioned in patients with low cognitive function.

Метою нашої роботи було вивчити особливості ВГПТ у пацієнтів з діабетичною хворобою нирок, які лікуються методом гемодіалізу.

Методи. Ми провели поперечне (одномоментне) дослідження. До дослідження були залучені 263 гемодіалізних пацієнтів з вторинним гіперпаратиреозом. У всіх хворих визначали рівні паратгормону (ПТГ), глікозильованого гемоглобіну (HbA1c), 25-гідроксивітаміну Д (вітамін Д 25-ОН), холестерину (ХС), тригліцеридів (ТГ), лужної фосфатази (ЛФ), С-реактивного білку (СРБ), альбуміну сироватки крові, розраховувався тригліцерид-глюкозний індекс (ТГІ). Проведений аналіз кореляційних зв’язків між рівнями досліджуваних показників та рівнем ПТГ. Було оцінено зв'язок ТГІ з рівнями оцінюваних показників.

Результати. У пацієнтів, які лікуються ГД з ДХН порівняно з хворими без діабету рівень ПТГ був достовірно нижчим. Рівень ЛФ, вітаміну Д 25-ОН, альбуміну були достовірно нижчими у пацієнтів з ДХН, а СРБ вищим ніж у хворих без діабету (р<0,05).

Показники ліпідного обміну були достовірно вищими у пацієнтів з ДХН порівняно з пацієнтами без ЦД, а саме рівень ХС, ТГ,  розрахунковий тригліцерид-глюкозний індекс.

Виявлено негативний кореляційний зв’язок між рівнем HbAcl та ПТГ сироватки крові (r=-0,1743; p<0,01), між концентрацією вітаміну Д 25-ОН та ЛФ сироватки крові у пацієнтів на ГД (r=-0,14; p<0,05), між рівнем вітаміну Д 25-ОН та HbAcl сироватки крові (r=-0,26; p<0,0001). Виявлено позитивний кореляційний зв’язок між рівнем ЛФ та сироватковим ПТГ (r=0,58; p<0,0001).

ТГІ мав негативний кореляційний зв՚язок з рівнями сироваткового альбуміну (r=-0,220), вітаміну Д 25-ОН (r=-0,236), ПТГ (r=-0,184) та позивний кореляційний між показниками ЛФ (r=0,176), СРБ (r=0,292) та HbAcl (r=0,569).

Висновки. Рівень ПТГ нижчий у пацієнтів з ДХН, що ймовірно обумовлено пригнічуючим впливом глюкози крові на його рівень.

Виявлені кореляційні зв'язок між рівнем ПТГ та вітаміну Д 25-ОН та HbAcl, ЛФ, ГТІ можуть свідчити про негативний вплив продуктів глікозування на кістковий обмін та прогресування атеросклерозу.

Vereenigde Oost-lndische Compagnie (VOC) Şirketi daha çok Hollanda Doğu Hindistan Şirketi adıyla bilinmektedir. Bugünün şirketlerinin kârlarıyla karşılaştırıldığında, VOC Şirketinin ticaretten elde ettiği kâr, günümüzün en tanınmış şirketlerinin elde ettiği kârdan daha fazladır. Ancak bu kârın, elde edilişi açısından yasal olup olmadığı ise tartışmalı bir konudur. Dolayısıyla, şirketin kârı temiz kâr veya kirli kâr olarak iki açıdan değerlendirilebilir. Kirli kâr olabilecek riskli ticari faaliyetler göz önüne alınacak olursa, bu faaliyetlerin toplumdan topluma değişebileceği, hatta bir zamandan başka bir zamana da değişiklik göstereceği anlaşılacaktır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, VOC şirketinin faaliyetlerini açıklamak, faaliyet sonuçlarını muhasebe ve finans açısından değerlendirmek ve en önemlisi bunları temiz kâr ve kirli kâr kavramları kapsamında irdelemektir.

Authors: Ye Xue , Don Mohd Sobri
Published: March 2023

The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic led to a global recession, but China's OFDI remained on a steady rise, attracting global attention. By the end of 2020, Singapore was the second most developed country after the US in terms of receiving outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) flows from China. The investment cooperation between China and Singapore played an important role in promoting the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative and enhancing the economic cooperation between China and ASEAN after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study delves into the influencing factors of Chinese OFDI to Singapore: home country institutions, host country institutions, and investment motives. This study takes Singapore as the research object and uses the data of China’s OFDI to Singapore from 2001 to 2020 to conduct an empirical analysis through a modified regression model to analyze the development of China’s OFDI to Singapore, so as to make contributions to: (1) providing empirical evidence for studying OFDI from developing to developed countries; (2) providing reference for investment cooperation in the post COVID period between China and Singapore.

The article highlights the problems of adaptation of foreign students of the preparatory department for foreign citizens and stateless persons. An attempt is made to outline the pedagogical and socio-cultural conditions of adaptation of foreign students on the example of the preparatory department for foreign citizens and stateless persons of Vinnytsia State Pedagogical University named after Mykhailo Kotsyubynsky. The authors characterize the technologies and techniques of pedagogical communication in accordance with the socio-cultural characteristics of foreign students, styles of pedagogical communication and their impact on the formation and development of intercultural communication skills of all participants in the educational process. The article highlights the peculiarities of the mentality of students of the preparatory department for foreign citizens and stateless persons VSPU. M. Kotsyubynsky, including citizens of Somalia, India, China and others. Foreigners studying at the Preparatory Department for Foreign Citizens and Stateless Persons at the Mykhailo Kotsyubynsky Vinnytsia State Pedagogical University are overwhelmingly representatives of polychrome cultures and do not know how to clearly plan their study time. It is difficult for them not to be late for classes, especially in the first months of study, because in their countries such behavior is not considered negative. In addition, they cannot focus on one activity, trying to do several things at once. It is difficult for them to adequately perceive the time constraints of tasks and tests, because in their cultures the activity itself is important, not its time limits. When building pedagogical communication with foreign students, it is also important to take into account the category of space, which is very different in different cultures. It is a distance of communication, which is set depending on the age, gender, religion, social status of the participants. Emphasis is placed on the role of the teacher in the process of adaptation of foreign students, namely the teacher's task to take into account the similarities and differences of languages and cultures, to help overcome the difficulties of adaptation of foreign students in a foreign country.
Are You with Us or Against Us?

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, two contrasting images quickly became representative of the crisis. On the one hand, there were heroic doctors working day and night with the novel virus, risking their lives and making sacrifices to save others. On the other, there were ‘anti-maskers’ and ‘anti-vaxxers’: people doubting if the virus is real, questioning the effectiveness of protective measures, suspicious that the crisis is nothing more than an elaborate plot, a scam aimed to redesign their world and to destroy the values they hold dear. Reflecting on research conducted in Ireland with people separated by the conspiratorial divide, this paper examines some methodological and analytical challenges of doing simultaneous research with opposing stakeholders. Analysing my own entanglements in the conflicts over vaccines and conspiracy theories in this paper I argue that the pandemic was not just a battle to secure the acceptability of specific medical technology (the COVID-19 vaccine) but was also about safeguarding respectability of science and maintaining the rule of experts. It was about preventing ontological turn, the end of the era of reason, a dawn of modernity.
Germany United?
Authors: Campbell Ross
Published: March 2023

In the aftermath of unification, studies consistently uncovered differences in trust between citizens of the east and west of Germany. This article examines if this remains the case. It evaluates the trends and individual-level drivers of trust from 1984 to 2018 using data from the German General Social Survey (allbus) showing, first, that Germans are cautiously trusting of institutions, trust is more extensive than at any point since unification, and the differences between the east and west have narrowed; and, second, that trust is shaped by factors that are broadly similar between the two parts of the country. Multivariate models and post-estimation analyses show that trust is steeped in a variety of phenomena, some of which provide it with resilience and durability. The study rejects suggestions that Germany is suffering from a legitimacy crisis and concludes that the project of national integration is more complete than has previously been thought.
Wear resistance of structural steels nitrided in a cyclically switched discharge with dry friction
Authors: Stechyshyn M.S. , Skyba M. Ye. , Martynyuk A.V. , Zdorenko D.V.
Published: March 2023

The paper examines the method of conducting tribological studies in the dry mode of friction of nitrided and unhardened structural steels 20 and 45 in order to achieve comparable results of laboratory tests with operational characteristics. Preliminary studies of anodized steels of the same steels indicate that under conditions of extreme friction it is extremely difficult, and in some cases impossible, to use such values of specific pressure on the friction surface, at which it would be realistic to compare the results obtained for different samples made of different brands materials and processed using various technological processes. Since during the tests, constant lubrication of the friction zone was ensured, a layer of lubricant was present on the friction surface up to a certain pressure value, which led to extremely small indicators of linear wear. However, depending on the characteristics of the modified surface, there was a critical value of pressure at which the layer of lubricant was squeezed out of the friction zone, which led to instant adhesion of the surfaces. Thus, the study of wear resistance in the dry mode of friction ensures a significantly higher productivity of experiments.

Unlike experiments with limit friction, dry friction can be used for different steels at the same pressure value, which eliminates the problem of comparability of results and contributes to the objectivity of conclusions regarding the effectiveness of various modification processes.

According to the results of previous experiments, such a compromise pressure value can be 16 MPa.

Another important phenomenon for the analysis of the influence of the modification results on the wear resistance characteristics of the surface is established - the effect of relaxation processes in the near-surface layers, which have already acquired structural transformations under the influence of pressure in the friction zone.

For all steels, there is some slowing down of the intensity of wear after a break with a gradual return to the intensity characteristic of a certain brand of steel. The reason for such a phenomenon can only be the relaxation of stresses and the equalization of the characteristics of the structure in the near-surface layers. At the same time, the result is the strengthening of the surface, which explains the decrease in the intensity of the wear process. over time, as the strengthened layer breaks down, the indicators of the surface condition become equal to those before the break and the intensity of wear is restored.

Published: March 2023

The article systematizes the constituent elements for the formation of the mechanism of development of the domestic market of organic products. Public awareness and the ever-increasing need for safe food products will make it possible to predict the growth of the volume of production/sale both on the domestic market and export of products. Taking into account the significant amount of work of scientists in the direction of developing the mechanism of formation of the market of organic products, it is important and necessary to systematize its constituent elements. The conditions for the development of organic production are compliance of the organic system of agriculture and agricultural products with certain standards, which makes it possible to label products accordingly and sell them as organic. In this context, the development of the mechanism of market formation and stimulation of the development of agricultural enterprises – producers of organic products – is of great importance. Based on the understanding of the essence of the institutional mechanism presented in scientific developments, we can formulate our own vision of the institutional mechanism of the formation of the organic agriculture products market. This mechanism is a system of ensuring the interaction of market subjects, institutions of the state, law, power, competition, trust, aimed at supporting the processes that lead to filling the market with organic food, preserving the environment and developing the national economy. The scheme presented in the article reveals the relationship and interrelationship of all elements of the institutional mechanism, namely: the goal and methods of its achievement; objects (producers and consumers of organic products) to which the action of the subjects of the institutional mechanism (bodies of state power, local self-government, public organizations, management of enterprises) is directed with the help of tools (legislative, administrative, organizational, informal) and through the mediation of formal and informal institutions (institutions of the state, law, power, competition, trust, etc.). The proposed interpretation of the institutional mechanism of the formation of the market for organic agriculture products made it possible to single out the main processes, through the effective implementation of which the goal should be achieved – saturation of the market with organic food, preservation of the environment, harmonious human development.

The work considers the process of forming of economic behavior of enterprises on the basis of features of functioning of modern enterprises. It was determined that the process of forming an enterprise’s economic behavior strategy is characterized by a set of features: the level of development, regularity, uncertainty, the number of possible alternative solutions, which should be taken into account when forming economic behavior; information used in the formation of economic behavior; time horizons; interdependence; detail; assessment accuracy; degree of risk. Also the necessity of opening of forming of economic behavior of enterprises through the prism of intercommunication with strategy and strategy of behavior of enterprises is grounded. It was determined that the strategic level of the enterprise’s economic behavior directs its actions and activities, the tactical level – directs, the situational level – corrects (coordinates) when unforeseen factors are detected. The determined levels of behavior indicate that the economic behavior of enterprises covers a wider conceptual substance, in which the strategic level is only a separate component. The process of forming of economic behavior of enterprises is improved from position of generalization of three levels of activity: strategic, tactical and situation. It was established that the process of formation of economic behavior of the enterprise has a cyclical nature. The initial information entering the enterprise strategy formation system goes through the stages of information processing and analysis, after which determining factors are identified and their optimal coordination with other factors is ensured. The next stage is the formation of a strategic goal, matching the goals of the strategy with the real potential of the enterprise and determining and evaluating alternative strategies: limited growth, expansion, reduction (liquidation, cutting off excess, reduction and reorientation), a combination of three options. After identifying and evaluating alternative options, a specific strategy is chosen that would ensure the fulfillment of the set goals. To increase the probability of strategy implementation, a behavior strategy is developed, namely a set of actions for the implementation of a strategic goal. The formed set of actions is implemented in the real economic life of the enterprise, taking into account current and unforeseen changes that have occurred.

The species of the Famíly Ampucilidae has developed truly incredible behavior, being able to grab the cockroach with powerful jaws and sting it directly into two precise parts of the nervous system. The first partially and reversibly paralyzes the first pair of legs while the second obliterates only the flight reflexes, leaving the cockroach unharmed but converted into a kind of zombie. The aim of this article is to describe the parasitoid behavior of the Ampulicidae Family (Insecta: Hymenoptera). In terms of the type of research source, scientific articles published in national and international journals were used. This modality of production, in addition to being commonly the most valued in the set of bibliographic production, is the most easily accessed. Access to articles was through virtual libraries such as Scielo, the University of São Paulo, Latin American Literature and the University of Brasilia. In this library, there is a specific section for Hymenoptera, with eight journals, with texts of articles available in full and theoretical books, these banks, university dissertations, and scientific journals.

Authors: Duc Hiep , Mai Le Thi
Published: March 2023

In this study, we present issues in opening Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU) in Ho Chi Minh City to global education experience in which academic staff and researchers are recruited from mostly western countries’ tertiary educational institutions in the past 5 years and the increasing number of student exchange programs. Besides cultural and language communication adjustment for both students and foreign academic staff, there are also various challenges for both foreign academic and university in integrating the local and global experiences from different perspectives. The overall result is positive with people of diverse background working together in an educational and research environment aiming to provide the best outcome for students and enhance the research capacity and output of the university. There is adjustment to be made for all actors in the transitional period to make Ton Duc Thang University as a model for exposing university environment in Vietnam to global experiences to gradually adapt and become an institution with international standard in teaching and research. And finally, the lessons learned are discussed and suggestion made on the way forward in the future for TDTU to capitalise on its present success of the internationalisation effort from its autonomy status granted by the Ministry of Education and Training.
