Published: November 2019

As the average velocity and gust of wind present stability with varying distances, they allow in a simpler way the creation of continuous fields using spatial interpolation methods. The objective of this work was to obtain the power parameters for the Inverse Distance Power (IPD) interpolation method, in the spatialization of daily values of the average velocities (Vv) and wind gust (Vr), during the annual, winter, spring, summer and autumn in the sub-medium part of São Francisco region, Brazil. The power (p) parameters of the IPD of the average velocities and wind gust velocity. The minimum MAE values for Vv were 0.57; 0.63; 0.59; 0.45 and 0.62 m s-1 for the annual, winter, spring, summer and autumn, respectively, with corresponding p values equal to 3.4; 3.6; 2.9; 4.2 and 3.1. And for Vr, they were 0.89; 0.99; 0.86; 0.75 and 1.01 m s-1 with corresponding values of p, 3.3; 3.6; 2.9; 4.2 and 3.1 for the same periods. There is agreement between the measured and estimated values of Vv and Vr using the data of the second period, obtained with the cross-validation methodology, with R² values of 98.68% and 98.79%, respectively.

The presence of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) was detected in a questing tick pool in southern England in September 2019. Hitherto, TBEV had only been detected in a limited area in eastern England. This southern English viral genome sequence is distinct from TBEV-UK, being most similar to TBEV-NL. The new location of TBEV presence highlights that the diagnosis of tick-borne encephalitis should be considered in encephalitic patients in areas of the United Kingdom outside eastern England.

Published: November 2019

Thematic learning is part of the 2013 curriculum which is being implemented as an educational system, which requires teachers to be creative and innovative in implementing the learning process so that media development is needed to attract students’ enthusiasm for learning in enhancing the overall understanding of thematic material. Based on this, in this study, researches developed Monochromatic Media (Triprakoro thematic material-based Monopoly) class IV Madrasah Ibtidaiyyah. The research method used is the R & D (Research & Development) Borg and Gall development model by adapting 8 steps namely potential and problems, data collection, product design, design validation, design revision, and trial use. Based on the development of monochromatic products, the validation results obtained are: validation of material experts got a score of 92% with very decent criteria, validation of learning design experts got a score of 92%  with decent criteria, and validation of learning experts got a score of 92% with very decent criteria. Trial of product attractiveness based on assessment and student responses scored 88,7% with very interesting criteria. Thus it can be concluded that monochromatic media is effectively used in learning in madrasas.
Missing persons and social exclusion
Authors: Kiepal Laura Christine , Carrington Peter J , Dawson Myrna
Published: November 2019

Abstract

The concept of social exclusion is used to explore the relationship between people and groups who are socially and economically disadvantaged and the phenomenon of going missing. Police data about missing persons are compared to census data to determine whether groups who experience family dissolution, labour market exclusion, and other forms of disadvantage and social exclusion are overrepresented among missing persons compared to the general population. The analysis shows that disadvantaged youth, women, Aboriginal people, people who are not in the labour force, unemployed people, and homeless people are all overrepresented among missing persons. People occupying the intersections of multiple high risk categories are at particularly high risk of going missing. Linking missing persons with the concept of social exclusion shows that social and economic disadvantage lead directly and indirectly to peoples’ disappearances. (133 words)
“The National Gain is Nil”: Talking About Infant Mortality in Interwar Alberta
Authors: Kaler Amy
Published: November 2019

This paper uses the concept of biopolitics to analyze the ways in which infant mortality was talked about in Alberta between the beginning of the first world war and the beginning of the second. Material is drawn primarily from small-town newspapers. Infant mortality is understood as a form of perverse reproduction, in which life and death are unnaturally juxtaposed, threatening the integrity of the emergent polity of Alberta. The two main tropes in talking about infant mortality are military and economic, contingently linked to Alberta's experience of the first world war and of economic stress in the postwar years.
To Know Ourselves — Not
Authors: McDaniel Susan A. , MacDonald Heidi
Published: November 2019

The quest for self-knowledge has been a guiding principle throughout history. Plato acknowledged the duality of self-knowledge as both individual (the Delphic maxim “Know thyself”) and societal. “[I]f a Canadian is to seek self-knowledge that is essential for both health and wisdom, he [sic] must have access to a wider self-knowledge of his historical community and its contemporary circumstances” (Symons 1975:14). Thus began the Canadianization project which saw Canadian artists in all fields recognized; Canadian subject matter and data taught in universities, colleges, and public schools; Canadians hired as faculty at our universities; and Canadian Studies programs flourish. Census data and census making are key means by which we know ourselves as Canadians, both at present and from whence we came in families and collectively. The Census is a unique way of knowing ourselves since it enables collection of data on everyone from the most disadvantaged and hidden members of society to the best known individuals. The Census is the preeminent text for us all, particularly those who are silent or weak, to make claims for recognition. The Census is also an increasingly utilized resource for tracing ancestry, to know ourselves as descendents. In this paper, we rely on Plato’s duality of self-knowledge to explore some examples of the making of claims for recognition by groups past and present that may be lost with the cancellation of the mandatory long-form Census for 2011.
Organizing Local Messengers: Working Conditions and Barriers to Unionization
Authors: Pupo Norene , Noack Andrea M.
Published: November 2019

As a result of concerns around declining memberships and the growth of precarious employment in recent years, unions have sought to expand their jurisdictions and organize groups of workers who have typically resisted collective bargaining. Research on union renewal has examined working conditions and workplace structures that may give rise to successful organizing campaigns. In this paper we examine working conditions amongst non-unionized same-day messengers working in Toronto, Canada. The research team conducted 143 semi-structured interviews with bikers, drivers and walkers who work primarily for local courier companies. We find that although same-day couriers are typically treated as ‘independent contractors’, they are dependent on brokers, and precariously employed, with unpredictable income and hours of work. Though this group would benefit substantially from unionization, especially organized on a sector-wide basis, their attitudes and culture combined with the structure of the local industry create substantial impediments to organizing.
Durkheim’s Sign Made Flesh: The “Authentic Symbol” in Contemporary Holocaust Pilgrimage
Authors: Polzer Natalie C.
Published: November 2019

Synthesizing Durkheim’s notion of “sacred symbol” with Walter Benjamin’s theorization of “authenticity,” this paper proposes the theoretical construct, “authentic symbol,” to account for the symbolic function of Holocaust relics in contemporary Holocaust pilgrimage. The symbolic function of four kinds of relics (the sites, witness/survivors, human bodily remains and accessories) is examined and compared in three different contexts: The March of the Living Holocaust tours organized for Diaspora Jewish teenagers, the Masa tours organized for Israeli and practical aims of the tours and displays teenagers and the U.S. Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. Different ritual experiences are found to predominate in each of the three contexts, which significantly correlate with how symbols are processed by participants and the different ideological.
Durkheim, Development and the Devil: A Cultural Sociology of Community Conflict
Authors: Horgan Mervyn
Published: November 2019

Durkheim’s The Elementary Forms of Religious Life provides a theory of the eminently social processes by which people, places, times and things come to be seen as sacred or profane. He demonstrates how the sacred is a locus of collectivization essential to the formation of the solidaristic bonds that characterize a moral community. Recent work in cultural sociology suggests that the mobilization of the binary discourse of civil society—the sacred/profane—is key to democratic deliberation in the public sphere (Alexander 2006). Drawing on participant observation, local media resources, and printed and online materials, this paper examines the deployment of this binary discourse in a conflict around the rezoning of agricultural land in rural Nova Scotia (2009-2011). Substantively, this case demonstrates how the symbolic coding of rural/agricultural space as sacred played a significant role in the rejection of the proposed rezoning. At a theoretical level, this paper reaffirms that the Durkheimian vision of the symbolic power of the sacred remains a core cultural resource in social organization and political mobilization, and a vital conceptual resource in sociological analysis.
Is Durkheim’s “Sociologism” Outdated? Debating “Individualism” in Contemporary French Sociology of Religion
Authors: Obadia Lionel
Published: November 2019

This paper critically examines and rejects arguments made by contemporary sociologists in France about the appropriateness of Durkheim’s sociology in general, and his sociology of religion in particular. A century after the publication of The Elementary Forms, social scientists, especially in Europe, contend that “individualized” spiritualities are the definitive feature of contemporary forms of modern, globalised religion and infer from this empirical evidence that Durkheim’s “sociologism” is outdated. However, contemporary evidence indicates that collective religious expressions are colonizing the public spaces from whence they ostensibly had been withdrawn. Individualization, per se, is not only a contested concept but also a normative discursive technique of rationalization by which the great religions and new religious movements adjust to the “individualistic” values of modernity in global settings. This paper addresses the question of whether Durkheim really was wrong about the collective, yet complex nature and future of religion.
Flexible Small Firms? Why Some Small Firms Facilitate the Use of FWPs
Authors: Gordon Catherine E. , McMullin Julie A. , Adams Tracey L.
Published: November 2019

Abstract. This paper examines why some small firms offer Flexible Workplace Policies (FWPs) while others do not and what factors contribute to the offering and use of FWPs within small firms. A multiple case study is employed using multiple data sources on seventeen information technology (IT) small firms in Canada. Findings reveal three types of firms with regard to their flexibility, working hours, and approaches to time. Among these firm types, discernible patterns emerged based on the owners’ past employment experiences and personal approaches to work-life balance. Our results suggest that structured social relations experienced through past places of employment have lasting effects on small firm owners in their current firms.

Résumé. Cet article examine la raison pour laquelle certaines petites entreprises proposent des politiques de lieu de travail flexible alors que d’autres ne les offrent pas; l’article se penche aussi sur les facteurs contribuant à la prestation et à l’utilisation de ces politiques par les petites entreprises. Une étude de cas multiples est utilisée, faisant appel à des sources de données multiples de 17 petites entreprises de technologie de l’information (TI) au Canada. Les conclusions révèlent trois types d’entreprises en ce qui concerne la flexibilité, les heures de travail et les approches du temps. Certains modèles visibles se dégagent parmi ces types d’entreprises selon les expériences antérieures et les approches de conciliation travail-vie du propriétaire. Nos résultats indiquent que les relations sociales structurées vécues dans des lieux de travail antérieurs ont des effets durables sur les propriétaires de petites entreprises dans leur fonction actuelle.
Cautionary Tales: Making and Breaking Community in the Oil Sands Region
Authors: Westman Clinton N.
Published: November 2019

I consider data from Cree and Métis history, ethnology, and mythology to focus on three transformative modes (integration, disintegration, and media- tion) in relation to concepts of community. I develop an allegorical fantasy of oily monsters, tricksters, and their appetites arising from liquid commodities, in opposition to more integrative ritual practices that have historically underpinned community in the oil sands region of northern Alberta. Specifically, I suggest that (petro)-capitalism can be compared to the monstrous Windigo (not a trick- ster) with respect to its uncontrolled appetites and growth, and also that various proposed technical remediations resemble the vain adventures of the hubristic, foolish, and acquisitive Amerindian Trickster.
A Sociology of Tarot
Authors: Sosteric Mike
Published: November 2019

This article attempts to establish a sociology of the occult in general, and a sociology of the Western tarot in particular. The tarot is a deck of 78 cards invented in Italy in the fifteenth century. From humble beginnings as a device for gaming or gambling, the tarot became invested with occult, mystical, divine, spiritual, and even psychological significance. This investing became part of a larger strategy of discipline and indoctrination to ease the transition from preindustrial structures of power and authority to industrial and bureaucratic structures. That tarot, associated as it was with the emergence of elite Freemasonry, helped provide new ideologies of power and ways of existing within new tightly structured, bureaucratic organizations.
Schools, Cultural Mobility, and Social Reproduction: The Case of Progressive Discipline
Authors: Milne Emily , Aurini Janice
Published: November 2019

Abstract: Drawing on a case study of Progressive Discipline (PD), this paper asks: How does greater discretion, flexibility and parent involvement affect the application of school policy? What are the consequences of these conditions? PD is part of a suite of changes that caters to students’ individualized academic and social needs while formalizing increased parent involvement. Drawing on forty-four interviews with school staff members, we find that PD has the potential to enhance students’ social and behaviour literacy. And yet, educators are unable to fully tame higher-SES (Socio-Economic Status) parents. According to our interviewees, higher-SES parents are more likely to participate in disciplinary proceedings, confront and threaten school staff and negotiate more favourable disciplinary outcomes for their children. Our paper contributes to cultural capital theory by examining how higher-SES families exploit “discretionary spaces” (i.e., opportunities that allow parents to improve their child’s social, academic or disciplinary outcomes) in schooling organizations.

Résumé : En s’appuyant sur une étude de cas de mesures disciplinaires progressives (MDP), cet article pose la question : Comment une plus grande discrétion, souplesse et participation des parents influent sur la mise en pratique de la politique scolaire ? Quelles sont les conséquences de ces mesures ? Les MDP font partie d’une série de changements qui répondent aux besoins scolaires et sociaux individualisés des élèves, tout en formalisant la participation accrue des parents. À partir de quarante-quatre entretiens avec des membres du personnel œuvrant dans des écoles, nous constatons que les MDP ont le potentiel d’améliorer les habiletés sociales et comportementales des élèves. Pourtant, les éducateurs sont incapables de composer de façon satisfaisante avec les parents jouissant d’un statut socio-économique plus élevé. Selon les membres du personnel interviewés, il est plus probable que les parents de statut socio-économique plus élevé participent plus activement au suivi disciplinaire, confrontent et menacent le personnel de l’école et négocient des solutions disciplinaires plus favorables pour leurs enfants. Notre article contribue à la théorie du capital culturel en observant comment les familles de statut socio-économique plus élevé exploitent des « espaces discrétionnaires » (c’est à dire, les possibilités qui permettent aux parents d’améliorer les résultats sociaux, académiques ou disciplinaires de leur enfant) dans les organisations scolaires.

Worker Movement as a Union Issue: An Examination of Collective Bargaining Agreements in the Construction Sector in Alberta, Canada
Authors: Cake Susan
Published: November 2019

The fluctuating expansion of oil sands development in northern Alberta, Canada has led to employers hiring a large number of mobile workers. The working conditions for some of these mobile workers are modulated in part by unions through their role in negotiating of collective bargaining agreements. Using a social reproductive framework, this study has two main findings: through collective agreements mobile workers are treated as a distinct category of worker, and there is a simultaneous expansion of workplace rules and regulations alongside a divide of the workplace from the home. The resulting expansion of the union regulated space in contrast to the divide of workplace from the home challenges union revitalization efforts, while also reaffirming traditional gendered experiences of mobility.
Battling Blind Spots: Hours of Service Regulations and Contentious Mobilities in the BC-Based Long Haul Trucking Industry
Authors: McLean Amie
Published: November 2019

This article explores arenas of contention in which long haul truckers’ workplace mobilities are enmeshed. I critically analyze the grounded implications of Hours of Service (HoS) regulations, a primary regulatory mechanism for addressing the dangers posed by truck driver fatigue. I argue that HoS regulations enforce a neoliberal individualization of responsibility that fails to account for industry power dynamics or truckers’ lived experiences of labour mobility. These dynamics add to concerns about the potential exploitation of migrant truck drivers, including through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Inasmuch as they fail to address the classed, gendered and racialized dynamics of trucking mobilities, HoS regulations are implicated in perpetuating hierarchies of power in the industry. As such, they are inadequate and – in contextually specific ways – counterproductive to promoting employment equity or overall public safety. These issues are particularly evident in the contentious politics of blame concerning heavy truck-involved collisions.

“If the Work Requirement is Strong”: The Business Response to Basic Income Proposals in Canada and the US
Authors: Calnitsky David
Published: November 2019

Historical accounts of the business response to basic income proposals imply that employer attitudes have been mixed. In the 1970s and 1980s, when an array of basic income schemes was proposed, some groups were supportive and others were opposed. This paper shows that, in a number of high-profile proposals in Canada and the US, behind the apparent dissensus among business groups lays a consensus stance against universalistic and unconditional guaranteed income schemes. The disagreement among business groups comes down to either (1) a basic misunderstanding of proposal details, or (2) the fact that the policy itself can take on a wide range of concrete forms. To the extent that business has exhibited support for guaranteed income policies, the actual policies in question tended to be “two-tiered” rather than unitary, selective rather than universal, and miserly rather than generous. The income maintenance policies that garnered some support among business groups would all include explicit or implicit work requirements for “able-bodied” adults. By contrast, generous, unconditional guaranteed income policies that reduce workers’ market dependence—namely, those that basic income advocates find desirable—found no audience in business circles. I close by exploring the mechanisms underlying the impact of basic income on bargaining relationships in the labour market and comment on the promises and pitfalls of a social policy that continues to be highly malleable.
The Two Durkheims: Founders and Classics in Canadian Introductory Sociology Textbooks
Authors: Mallory Peter , Cormack Patricia
Published: November 2019

For contemporary Durkheim scholars, the presentation of Durkheimian sociology in introductory textbooks is notoriously flawed. In this article, we examine the presentation of Durkheim’s work in popular English-language Canadian sociology textbooks. We show that textbooks present two distinct “Durkheims.” First, they characterize him as a founder of the discipline and the sociological project of challenging common-sense explanations of social life. Second, Durkheim appears as the father of structural functionalism who advocates a conservative, integrating vision of society. We argue that to understand why these two versions of Durkheim persist in sociology textbooks, we must appreciate the symbolic place of classical authors in the discipline. The two “textbook Durkheims” endure because they operate as symbols for both the coherence and divisions of the discipline. We suggest that integrating contemporary Durkheimian scholarship into textbooks would require revising conventional textbook approaches of sorting classical authors as founders of contending sociological perspectives.
Re-Inscribing Gender Relations through Employment-Related Geographical Mobility: The Case of Newfoundland Youth in Resource Extraction
Authors: Power Nicole , Norman Moss
Published: November 2019

Despite the popular representation of the masculine hero migrant (Ni Laoire, 2001), rural youth scholars have found that young men are more likely to stay on in their communities, while young women tend to be more mobile, leaving for education and better employment opportunities elsewhere (Corbett, 2007b; Lowe, 2015). Taking a spatialized approach (Farrugia, Smyth & Harrison, 2014), we contribute to and extend the rural youth studies scholarship on gender, mobilities and place by considering the case of young Newfoundlanders’ geographical mobilities in relation to male-dominated resource extraction industries. We draw on findings from two SSHRC-funded research projects, the Rural Youth and Recovery project, a subcomponent of the Community-University Research for Recovery Alliance (CURRA) and the Youth, Apprenticeship and Mobility project, a subcomponent of the On the Move Partnershi We argue that the spatial coding of gender relations in rural Newfoundland makes certain kinds of mobilities more intelligible and possible for young men, while constraining women’s. In other words, gender relations of rural places are “stretched out” (Farrugia et al., 2014) across space through the mobility practices of young men and women in relation to work in skilled trades and resource extraction industries. These “stretched out” gender relations are reproduced by the organisation of a sector that relies on a mobile workforce free from care and domestic work and familiar with manual work.
QUEER UNIONS: Same-Sex Spouses Marrying Tradition and Innovation
Authors: Green Adam Isaiah
Published: November 2019

Same-sex civil marriage is a focal point of debate among social conservatives, feminists, queer critics and lesbian and gay assimilationists. In this paper, I draw on in-depth interviews of thirty same-sex married spouses to explore how actual same-sex marriages relate to these debates. Among these spouses, civil marriage is perceived to provide significant legal, social and psychological resources that, in effect, consolidate the nuclear family and the institution of marriage. Yet, conversely, these spouses do not uniformly embrace traditional norms of marriage, but, rather, adopt a range of nontraditional norms and practices that, in effect, destabilize the traditional marital form. In sociological terms, however, their complexity is not surprising, as contemporary lesbians and gay men are dually socialized in the dialectic of a dominant “meaning-constitutive” tradition (Gross 2005) that valorizes (heterosexual) marriage and kinship, on the one hand, but a queer-meaning constitutive tradition that promotes sexual freedom and nontraditional gender relations, on the other. In this sense, one important sociological question for the future is the extent to which the increasing availability of same-sex marriage will transform the dialectic, eroding the structural conditions that underpin a distinctive queer meaning-constitutive tradition and, in turn, same-sex marital innovation.
Hunger Hurts but Starving Works: A case study of gendered practices in the online pro-eating-disorder community
Authors: Whitehead Krista
Published: November 2019

This paper investigates collective identity-work of Pro-eating disorder (Pro-ED) groups on the Internet. Using an adaptation of face-to-face ethnographic methods to investigate online communication (Mann and Stewart 2000), the author analyzes five collective organizing practices in Pro-ED groups that reveal a highly gendered character: 1) promoting surreptitiousness, 2) organizing in and around the realm of domesticity, 3) equating beauty with self-worth, 4) relying on friendship as a chief organizing principle, and 5) using fandom as a method of attracting and maintaining members. In spite of exceptional resistance to their activities, women in the Pro-ED community are able to achieve a collective Pro-ED identity wherein they maintain eating-disordered lifestyles. The case study presented here interrupts popular sociological understandings of collective identity mobilization as having categorically positive consequences for its members.
Parental Traffic Safeguarding at School Sites: Unequal Risks and Responsibilities
Authors: McLaren Arlene Tigar , Parusel Sylvia
Published: November 2019

Based on a comparison of two public elementary schools located on the east and west sides of Vancouver, British Columbia, the paper explores the effects of spatial and social contexts on parents’ school traffic safety practices. By taking into account the dynamics of gender and social class in different geographies of mobility at the two schools, we illustrate how parents’ (especially mothers’) daily concerns, practices and volunteerism reflect unequal risks and responsibilities in safeguarding children from motorized traffic. We also suggest that despite geographical differences and social inequalities, auto-centred environments and traffic safety governance create remarkably similar parental mobility concerns at the two schools, reflecting the stratifying effects of automobility. Our analysis of the troubling effects of the automobility system underscores the importance of acknowledging how parental traffic safety practices contribute to the illusion of traffic safety and to the necessity of challenging auto hegemony.

Klausul eksonerasi dalam perkembangan globalisasi menimbulkan permasalahan karena cenderung merugikan hak-hak konsumen. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengertian klausul eksonerasi dalam perjanjian baku dan kekuatan mengikat klausul eksonerasi dalam perjanjian baku dihubungkan dengan asas kebebasan berkontrak Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan yuridis normatif dengan data sekunder dan studi kepustakaan serta menggunakan teknik analisis data secara kualitatif. Hasil penelitian Klausul eksonerasi adalah klausul yang dicantumkan dalam perjanjian baku/standar kontrak yang proses penyusunannya dibuat secara sepihak oleh pihak kreditur. Umumnya klausul eksonerasi yang ada pada perjanjian baku hanya mengaturkewajiban-kewajiban debitur dan meminimalisir kewajiban-kewajiban kreditur. Lahirnya perjanjian baku diakibatkan karena tuntutan globalisasi ekonomi dunia yang kemudian digunakan juga oleh para pelaku bisnis di Indonesia. Klausul eksonerasi dalam perjanjian baku bertentangan dengan asas kebebasan berkontrak yang bertanggung jawab, terlebih lagi jika ditinjau dari asas-asas dalam sistem hukum nasional, di mana akhirnya kepentingan masyarakatlah yang didahulukan. Di dalamperjanjian baku kedudukan kreditur dan debitur tidak seimbang. Posisi monopoli pihak kreditur membuka peluang luas baginya untuk menyalahgunakan kedudukannya. Pengusaha hanya mengatur hak-haknya dan tidak kewajibannya. Dari segi lain, perjanjian baku hanya memuat sejumlah kewajiban yang harus dipikul debitur.

Di Indonesia, angka perkawinan usia anak telah mengalami penurunan lebih dari dua kali lipat dalam tiga dekade terakhir tetapi masih merupakan salah satu yang tertinggi di kawasan Asia Timur dan Pasifik. Menurut Survei Sosial dan Ekonomi Nasional (Susenas) yang dilakukan oleh Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) pada tahun 2012 dalam Analisis Data Perkawinan Usia Anak di Indonesia menunjukkan bahwa di antara perempuan pernah kawin usia 20-24 tahun, 25 persen menikah sebelum usia 18 tahun . Sementara itu, berdasarkan Survei Demografi dan Kesehatan Indonesia (SDKI) 2012, 17 persen perempuan pernah kawin usia 20-24 tahun, menikah sebelum usia 18 tahun.Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui faktor-faktor pendorong pernikahan anak dan mendeskripsikan berbagai bentuk kekerasan dalam rumah tangga (KDRT) yang banyak menimpa perempuan (istri) yang menikah pada usia anak/dini. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus (case study). Sample diambil secara purposive, yakni perempuan yang berusia 12-35 tahun, yang menikah pada usia 12-18 tahun.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa para perempuan yang menikah pada usia anak dini, sangat beresiko mengalami kekerasan dalam rumah tangga (KDRT) dengan pelaku mayoritas adalah suami (pasangan). Kekerasan psikis adalah kekerasan yang paling banyak terjadi, disusul kekerasan fisik dan kekerasan seksual. Maka peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat yang disertai dengan makin terjangkaunya layanan pendidikan bagi masyarakat miskin, peningkatan nilai spiritualitas dalam masyarakat akan mampu mengurangi angka pernikahan anak.
Generic Mapping Tools and Matplotlib Package of Python for Geospatial Data Analysis in Marine Geology
Authors: Lemenkova Polina
Published: November 2019

Understanding
patterns of the correlation between the geomorphology and geology of
the seafloor of the hadal trenches is important for the proper ocean
modelling. Current paper focuses on the west Pacific Ocean region
with a special case of Mariana Trench, the deepest hadal trench on
the planet. Methodology of the research include combination of
Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) and Quantum GIS based mapping of the
geographic location, bathymetry, geodesy, sediment thickness,
geomorphic shape, tectonic and geologic structure of the Mariana
Trench area, and statistical analysis by means of Python. A GMT was
selected for GIS visualization due to its powerful functionality and
effective cartographic solutions. An object-oriented high-level
programming language, Python was chosen for the data analysis and
scientific plotting. The statistical analysis includes following
steps: 1) Data distribution by the box plots; 2) Data
sorting and grouping by stem plots; 3) Correlation analysis by 3D
comparative plots referred to four tectonic plates; 4) Principal
Component Analysis; 5) Analysis of Variance. The statistical analysis
of the data set was performed in Matplotlib library and its
dependencies: NumPy, SciPy and Pandas. A combination of the powerful
methods by GMT with data analysis supported by Python programming
language is an important method in geosciences aimed to increase the
effectiveness of the data analysis by cartographic mapping,
statistical computations and graph plotting. This paper illustrated
usage of GMT, QGIS and Python for combined data analysis scheme. The
results demonstrated correlation between the sediment thickness,
slope steepness, depths and location of the bathymetric profiles
crossing adjacent tectonic plates: Philippine, Pacific, Caroline and
Mariana.
Engineering-geological characteristic of the rocks of the loess-soil series from the key section Sharovechka (Podolian upland)
Authors: Bogucki Andriy , Voloshyn Petro
Published: November 2019

Description and detailed engineering-geological characteristic of rocks of the loess-soil series of one of the most complete loess section of Podolian Upland were given. Sharovechka key section represents the main loess and palaeosol horizons of Lower, Middle and Upper Pleistocene. There is total thickness of loess-soil series approximately is 25 meters in this section. Horokhiv and Korshiv fossil soil complexes, Lutsk and Sokal fossil soils, and lower horizon of Lower Pleistocene loesses can be key horizons for all territory of Volhyn-Podillia. The monoliths were taken from all stratigraphic horizons of this section with the purpose of investigation of engineering-geological features including subsidence. The analysis of the distribution of composition and features indexes in loess and palaeosol succession demonstrates a significant difference between their certain horizons caused by peculiarities of paleogeographic conditions of their formation and diagenetic transformation. It was also deduced that the degree of contrast of parameters of composition and features of loess and palaeosol horizons in comparison with key loess sections of Volhynian Upland was much lower. Probably this was caused by the higher total content of clay in soils of certain stratigraphic horizons and by the direct overlay of different types of fossil soils at each other. Key words: loess, loess-soil series, key section, fossil soil, engineering-geological features.
