Masculinisation or Professionalisation of Norwegian Farm Work: A Gender Neutral Division of Work on Norwegian Family Farms?
Authors: Bjorkhaug Hilde , Blekesaune Arild
Published: April 2019

Changes in farm work on Norwegian family farms have, since the 1950s, undergone a masculinisation process. Research has described how farming has become a business controlled by and executed by men, a process that has created ‘the farmer’ as a masculine label of occupation. This paper analyses data from surveys of farming couples in 1995 and 2002. The main objective in the paper is to test whether changes in men and women’s farm work can be described as a transition towards a one- person farm structure in Norway. The main hypothesis put forward is that men and women tend to specialise in either on-farm or off-farm work, and that their allocation of work time depends upon their educational training in agriculture, their interests in farm work, and the capacity of the farm to provide work for both partners. If this is the case we should moderate the hypothesis of masculinisation as a professionalisation among men into one-man farming, and opt for a gender-neutral professionalisation of farm work in Norwegian agriculture, where both men and women tend to specialise in farm work and their partners become their assistants. Our analyses do however support an ongoing masculinisation on farms operated by men; men do most farm work on their farms, and more so in 2002 than in 1995. The pattern is different on farms operated by women. Women are more likely to farm together with an active farming partner. A gender neutral professionalisation of Norwegian farmers was not identified.
Aging and the Family-Work Link: A Comparative Analysis of Two Generations of Mexican Women (1936-1938 and 1951-1953)
Authors: Blanco Mercedes , Pacheco Edith
Published: April 2019

The implications of aging of the population in Mexico are complicated and in some respects, serious. Like many other developing countries, Mexico has no genuine state public policies designed to ensure the treatment, everyday care and well-being of senior citizens. In view of this discouraging outlook, it is families, mainly women, who continue to be responsible for looking after senior citizens thereby increasing these women’s workloads. The previous situation leads directly to the theme of the work-family link, as a result of which this article contains a proposal constituting an exploratory approach that attempts the simultaneous use of data sources clearly identified with qualitative and quantitative research styles. One of the main objectives of the article is to analyze the interrelationship between several of the life trajectories comprising women’s life courses. One of the most important trajectories is work, on the basis of which, in conjunction with the others (school, conjugal and reproductive), a typology was drawn up to describe the link between family and work. In order to achieve this, the problem has been inscribed within the life-course approach that rejects homogeneity and temporal linearity and assumes a multidimensional conception of time. With regard to the characteristics of the information sources, our starting point has been a purely qualitative study of a group of women from the urban middle class in Mexico, undertaken by one of the co-authors. As for the quantitative universe of reference, this consists of a group of middle-class urban women for two age cohorts: 1936–1938, and 1951–1953. The source of information comprises the Retrospective Demographic Survey taken by the National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Informatics (INEGI, its acronym in Spanish) in 1998.
Specialization between Family and State Intergenerational Time Transfers in Western Europe
Authors: Igel Corinne , Brandt Martina , Haberkern Klaus , Szydlik Marc
Published: April 2019

Intergenerational time transfers can be differentiated and divided into two support forms: help and care activities. Adult children support their elderly parents with more or less intensive and widely differing transfers ranging from help with household chores and paperwork to personal care. However, elderly people are also an important source of intergenerational support, as they help their children by looking after the grandchildren for example. In general intergenerational solidarity patterns are influenced by opportunity, need, family and culturalcontextual structures, which have differing impacts on help and care: Care is mainly depending on the need structures of the receiver while help activities to parents and children are primarily influenced by the opportunity structures of the giver. Additionally, using the SHARE data, logistic multilevel modeling allows national help and care levels to be traced back to the provision of public services. The empirical findings support the “specialization hypothesis”: A higher national level of social services coincides with less intensive help and more demanding care. Well-developed welfare states thus lower the risk of an overburdening of the family and secure the overall support of older people and young families through efficient collaboration between family and state.
Migrant Mothers and Divided Homes: Perceptions of Immigrant Peruvian Women about Motherhood
Authors: Illanes Javiera Cienfuegos
Published: April 2019

The incorporation of women into the labor market has transcended national boundaries ; the possibilities of communication and territorial mobility brought about by globalization have revitalized traditional feminine markets at the supra-national level, as in the cases of domestic service and prostitution. In this context, many women decide to migrate alone in search of greater economic security. This article explores the construction of motherhood by migrant Peruvian women in Chile whose children live far off from them. A qualitative methodology was used for the field research, including in-depth interviews with Peruvian mothers and a group discussion in which migrant Peruvian women in Chile-mothers and non-mothers-participated. The hypothesis guiding the study is that there is a tension between the culturally inherited image of motherhood and the specific practice of motherhood from afar. Migrant mothers experience but also resolve this tension between image and practice. The study concludes that the resolution of the struggle is usually found through an adjustment of the meaning of the traditional image of motherhood, rather than as a result of a cultural change that would question the suppositions underlying this image.
Transnational Family Ties, Remittance Motives, and Social Death among Congolese Migrants: A Socio-Anthropological Analysis
Authors: Peter Kankonde Bukasa
Published: April 2019

This article investigates how transnational familial links and socio-cultural dynamics shape migrants’ remitting behavior and inform their relationships. It shows that most research on remittances fails to capture migrants’ personal and social significance of remittances embedded not only in their transnational social relations, but also in cultural contexts. Drawing on new empirical qualitative research amongst Congolese migrants in South Africa, the article argues that migrants remit primarily in a bid to escape social death by fostering familial belonging and sustaining social status. It finds that socio-cultural influences and internalized social stereotypes about economic effects of emigration shape migrants’ awareness of their role expectations in communities of origin. These role expectations exercise on them such a social pressure that migrants often feel a compelling need to be perceived as financially “successful” as well as “valid” and “good” family members not only in their communities of origin but also among other migrants. As such, remittances become fundamentally the measures and criteria shaping migrants’ sense of belonging and social and familial inclusion or exclusion. In this sense, for individual migrants, remittances play an essential instrumental role portraying such images and at the same time are seen as a means to avoid social stigmatization and exclusion.
The Place of Migration in Girls’ Imagination
Authors: Thorsen Dorte
Published: April 2019

This article focuses on rural girls’ aspirations of becoming migrants in a setting where girls are subjected to social constraints curtailing their movements in the midst of an otherwise mobile society, where mothers and grandmothers frequently recall their experiences in Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire, and boys set off on their first migration in their mid- or late teens. However, the high level of mobility affects both intergenerational relations and the ways in which girls can justify their wish to migrate. Based on multi-sited ethnographic research between 2002 and 2008 in Burkina Faso and Cote d'Ivoire, the article explores the ways in which images of success and material wealth of (trans)national migrants feed into adolescent girls ' imaginations of migration and its outcome. Furthermore, the article examines how everyday relationships in households influences girls’ imagination about their own position in the family. The aim is thus to understand how local conceptualizations of womanhood and migration practices both create a frame for female youth’s life worlds and provide them with a range of role models showing them how spatial and social mobility allows them to transcend boundaries but also generates new demands on their resources. The article argues that the social status ascribed to migrants in rural communities pushes adolescent girls to circumvent constraints on their mobility by marrying earlier and to avoid challenging their husband by accepting to use their economic resources for the benefit of the migrant household instead of enhancing their social status by sending remittances to their own family.
Changing Family Structure in Botswana
Authors: Dintwat Kakanyo Fani
Published: April 2019

Family has been defined as a social unit related by blood, marriage, and adoption. A network of political, social and economic relationship exists among family members, as well as between family members and the society they live in, and this network has influenced the change in family structure. This paper examines the influence of demographic and socio-economic factors on the changing family structures in Botswana comparatively to other Southern African countries. Data from Population Censuses, Demographic Health Surveys and other related literature are used to examine the influence of: fertility, marriage, education, migration, inheritance patterns, and HIV/AIDS on the family structure. It notes that there is a decline in fertility and marriage patterns in Botswana and other Southern African countries under a review which changes the structure of the family from the traditional (extended family) to the modem (nuclear and single-parent families). The paper argues that the weakening of family structure is also because of inheritance disputes which are influenced by inheritance customary laws that look down upon women empowerment. Furthermore, HIV/AIDS related mortality and morbidity has also wrecked a lot of families. There are many orphans in Southern Africa due to HIV/AIDS.
Finding Community in Family: Neighborhood Effects and African American Kin Networks
Authors: Jarrett Robin L. , Jefferson Stephanie R. , Kelly Jenell N.
Published: April 2019

Neighborhood-effects theorists hypothesize that key compositional, social, institutional, and normative features of urban neighborhoods undermine family functioning. Drawing on qualitative interview data from low-income African American women who are part of extended-kin networks, the authors identify several “survival strategies” that promote family stability in the face of neighborhood challenges. Resource pooling, family sociability, service augmentation, normative accord, and kin monitoring were positive network responses to inner-city neighborhoods characterized by concentrated poverty, limited social and institutional supports, and exposure to unconventional value systems. More generally, the authors use these data to highlight family resiliency and the heterogeneity of family functioning within inner-city neighborhoods. These data can also be used to expand current formulations on the relationship between family processes and neighborhood contexts.
The Passing CCKs in Japan: Analysis on Families of Cross-Border Marriages between Japanese and Brazilian
Authors: Takeshita Shuko
Published: April 2019

Since an amendment to the Immigration Control Act in 1990, which granted 2nd and 3rd generation Japanese unlimited visa status to work in Japan, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of Brazilians of Japanese descent coming to Japan. As a result, there is a large number of couples comprising Japanese and Japanese-Brazilian in Japan. In this paper, I investigated the conditions involving Cross-Culture Kids (CCK) born of these marriages. The children’s first language is Japanese, and an overwhelming number of parents want their children to learn English as a second language rather than Portuguese. Regarding the children’s name, there were few cases in which the child used a Brazilian name. In Japanese society, which emphases uniformity and homogeneity, using a Japanese name is one method of resolving the issue of being different from others. Parents with children who are not immediately recognizable as CCKs based on characteristics of outward appearance have developed strategies for avoiding discrimination and prejudice through passing. However, passing offers little possibility of enjoying the advantages of multicultural society. CCKs with two nationalities and cultural backgrounds should be guaranteed the right to enjoy the benefit of maintaining and developing an identity as a Japanese, in addition to one more identity. We need to encourage a new awareness of CCKs as agents for a transition from a monocultural system to a multicultural system, not only in Japanese schools, but in Japanese society as a whole.
Social Relationships in the Modem Age: Never-married Women in Bangkok, Jakarta and Manila
Authors: Tan JooEan
Published: April 2019

This exploratory paper uses Giddens’s paradigm of social change to examine the social relationships of never-married professional women in Bangkok, Jakarta and Manila. Based on in-depth interviews, two related questions are addressed: First, how do never-married women view their place in their family network? Second, what sources of social support are available to these women? The findings show that while social relationships are being reshaped by the powerful impact of modernity, the outcome of Giddens’s modernity is not uniform in these three social settings. Local context plays an important role in shaping the outcome.
The Effects of Race, Religion, and Religiosity on Attitudes towards Transracial Adoption
Authors: Perry Samuel L.
Published: April 2019

This study investigates the effects of race, religion, and religiosity on attitudes towards transracial adoption (TRA) while controlling for both sociodemographic and ideological factors. Utilizing data from the 2005 Baylor Religion Survey (N = 1721), the hypothesis was tested that Blacks, Protestants, and the more religious, would be less favorable towards TRA than non-Blacks, non-Protestants, and the less religious after controlling for both sociodemographic and ideological factors . The analyses show no relationship between race and attitudes towards TRA. Of the religious groups considered, Protestants are the least supportive of TRA, while religiosity is positively correlated with approval of TRA. A number of sociodemographic and ideological factors are also identified as significant predictors of one’s approval of TRA. Several explanations are offered as to what factors unique to Protestantism are influencing Protestants to be less supportive of TRA. While findings suggest that reported attitudes towards TRA are becoming more favorable among the general public, further research is needed to clarify Protestants’ less favorable attitudes towards interracial family relationships, TRA included.
Family Planning Decision-making: A Comparison and Analysis of Parents' Considerations
Authors: Vinokur-Kaplan Diane
Published: April 2019

This paper draws upon the general approach of Behavioral Decision Theory to study parents' family planning decisions. It compares the importance of 27 value considerations to young married couples in deciding about whether or not to have another child, Parents at two stages of family growth were interviewed: 71 couples with one chi Id and 70 with two children. It was found that both groups of parents were concerned with altruism ( "g iving yourself to others"), emotional and social needs of present children, spouse's workload, ti me for oneself and with one's spouse, and economic needs. One-child parents were especially mindful of providing their single child with a companion, while two-child parents concentrated more on their own personal needs. When the ratings of importance of the value considerations were subjected to a smallest space analysis, they were fitted into a two dimensional space with two orthogonal continua: (1) Maintenance versus change of oneself and one's roles and (2) Concern for the demands of family group life versus concern for the demands of the larger community and society. Appl ications of this conceptualization for future research are suggested.

Exploring Doctorateness in Insider Action Research
Authors: Coghlan David , Coughlan Paul , Shani Abraham B.
Published: April 2019

While debates about the nature of ‘doctorateness’ are prevalent in higher education, what this might mean in the context of insider action research, where action research is undertaken by members of an organisation or community, has not received any attention. This article explores how an insider action research engagement in a thesis and core project generates a synergy between the actions, a deep discipline knowledge, competence in research through first, second and third person processes, and competence in presentation can serve as a foundation for doctorateness. The dissemination contributes to a community of practice and inquiry.

Performance of AODV Protocol for H-MANETs
Authors: Vasavi Pallepati , Ramesh G Raja
Published: April 2019

As per need of recent applications, new research aspects related to scalability, heterogeneity, and power consumption have been arisen. These problems are supposed to be fixed for better utilization of MANETs. MANET nodes interact through multi-hop routing. AODV is a commonly used on-demand protocol for routing in MANETs. In the existing literature, AODV has been analyzed a number of times but heterogeneity of the nodes has not been addressed. Heterogeneity may be defined as diversity among the nodes in resources or capability. The environment is usually heterogeneous in case of constraint fluid dynamic environment of MANET. In this paper we are analyzing the routing performance as well as energy efficient behavior of AODV routing protocol in both homogeneous and heterogeneous MANETs (H-MANETs), using performance parameters like ratio of delivered packets, throughput, average delay, average power consumption, energy of alive nodes, etc. Heterogeneity has been introduced in terms of different initial energy for all the nodes, unlike the homogeneous scenario. The simulation work has been done using network simulator (NS-2). This work will be helpful to get insight of effects of heterogeneity on energy efficiency and other performance metrics of AODV.

Status update on development of a eucalyptus plantation program in the southeastern United States and higher elevations of southern Brazil
Authors: Hart Peter , Johnson John , Paim Ricardo
Published: April 2019

MWV Forestry has been actively pursuing the establishment of cold- and frost-tolerant eucalyptus plantations in southeast Texas and in the higher, frost-prone regions of southern Brazil for several years. Currently, the major species being examined is Eucalyptus benthamii. Interspecific crossing efforts, cold tolerance established from field trials, and intercountry cooperation in this program are discussed. The ability of the southeastern Texas program to return value to our collaborators in southern Brazil and other locations is reviewed. Pulp and papermaking properties of the cold-tolerant species are also reviewed. Currently, E. benthamii plantations in southeast Texas are producing trees with a density range of about 460–523 kg/m3, suggesting some degree of genetic variability within the bulk seeds currently being employed. Good pulping yields of around 48% on o.d. wood have been obtained in laboratory studies. For comparison, this yield is about 3 percentage points higher than for traditional mixed southern hardwoods. In general, the physical properties of pure E. benthamii are inferior to those of mixed southern hardwoods. When used in a blend, the differences in physical properties are substantially mitigated.
A Reflection on Interactional Feedback by Students of Sanata Dharma University
Authors: Ferianda Sandy , Herdiyanti Herdiyanti
Published: April 2019

Interactional feedback as a means of helping second language (L2) learners to focus on form has received increased attention recently in the field of second language acquisition (SLA). Moreover, feedback is also considered as an effective way to help the students improve their ability in learning L2. Subsequently, as teachers encourage use of the target language in their classrooms, they must consider how to provide feedback to their students concerning the accuracy of their utterances. This paper attempts to reveal the answers for the research question which is “what does interactional feedback mean to the students?” There are two participants who were willing to share their lived experiences. The data are in a form of texts and gathered from an in-depth interview in which the data are then extracted to be the themes for the discussion. For the themes, there are two major themes appear in the study namely motivation and self-improvement. Motivation was the first theme that appeared from the study. The comments and feedback could motivate the participants to perform better in their next speaking practices. Additionally, motivation indeed becomes one of the positive effects which could make the participants feel motivated in improving their speaking ability through the feedback from their lecturers. Self-improvement became the second major theme from the study. Self-improvement was derived from the participants’ consciousness when they encountered the mistakes that they often committed when speaking. Contextually, the interactional feedback that the participants gained from the lecturer made the participants aware of the mistake that they had committed. Therefore, after gaining the feedbacks from their teacher, they are triggered to improve their performance in the next speaking assignments.

ORIENTALISM IN THE TALE OF GENJI’S TRANSLATIONS AS WORLD LITERATURE
Authors: Kobis Dewi Christa
Published: April 2019

This paper is to discuss the “Orientalism” in The Tale of Genji as world literature through the translations of The Tale of Genji that had been translated into English by the Westerns. The popularity of The Tale of Genji cannot be separated from the important role of the translation. The English translations of The Tale of Genji had become a tool for the people surround the World to enjoy reading The Tale of Genji although they cannot speak or read Japanese. We cannot take lightly the role of translation. Regarding to the translation issue, it is also important to know closely about the translators’ perspective towards The Tale of Genji. Since the major translators of The Tale of Genji are Western, it is imperative to know Westerns’ perspectives towards Easterns since The Tale of Genji came from Asian. With the purpose to resolve this case, the analysis of this paper uses Orientalism as its theoretical concept in examining the Westerns’ perspective towards The Tale of Genji through the translation. This paper also examines how the translations of The Tale of Genji could be easily received as the world literature.
AN ANALYSIS OF METAPHOR TRANSLATION IN THE SUBTITLE OF SHERLOCK HOLMES 2: A GAME OF SHADOWS (2011) MOVIE
Authors: Putri Siegfrieda Alberti Shinta Mursita , Sie Martha
Published: April 2019

A metaphor has been a conflict in subtitling for its cultural-specific sense and challenging translatability. Consequently, the translators tend to omit the metaphors. This study attempts to find out the categories of conceptual metaphors and applied strategies in the subtitles of Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows (2011). This study applies the Combined Strategies proposed by Lindqvist (Pedersen, 2015). The results indicate that analogy, personification, and image metaphors appear in the movie. The translator applies five of nine proposed strategies in this study. The most frequently applied strategies are word-for-word translation and paraphrase strategies. No omission occurs, but the study discovers that the translation appears to be less natural and fails to transfer the cultural essence from the English metaphors.
THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF GUY DE MAUPASSANT’S TWO FRIENDS AND ARTURO ARIAS’ TOWARD PATZUN
Authors: Indriyanto Kristiawan
Published: April 2019

This paper compares and contrasts two short stories, Guy De Maupassant’s Two Friends and Arturo Arias’ Toward Patzun. Both stories have the same thematic structure as the harshness and brutality during wartime situation is a similar concern to the aforementioned writers. Although both writers foreground the savagery of war, the different cultural background, nationality, literary tradition cause differences in the way both writer narrate their short stories. While De Maupassant depicts the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871), Arias squares his narration in the Guatemalan civil war (1960-1996). The differences of canonical status between De Maupassant and Arias is also scrutinized in this paper. While De Maupassant is a household name in Western literary tradition, the popularity of Arias remains obscure. This paper argues that the differences in canonization is linked also with the status of Two Friends in the hypercanon, on the other hand Toward Patzun is located in the countercanon. It is hoped that this paper can contribute toward questioning the privileged status of Western literary works compared to the non-Western author.
Girona a l’edat mitjana. L’urbanisme
Authors: Nolla Josep Ma , Sagrera Jordi
Published: April 2019

Girona es va mantenir reclosa dins les muralles fins a la creació del conjunt episcopal de Sant Feliu vora la porta nord de la ciutat. Els carolingis reconstruïen les muralles i eixamplaven el recinte cap el nord. Al segle XI es formava el burg de Sant Feliu i al XII l’eixample meridional, especialment l’Areny i el seu mercat. Al segle XIII s’incorporarien al procés urbà el burg de Sant Pere i el Mercadal. El creixement es densificaria fins a mitjan segle XIV amb nombrosos establiments. A la segona meitat del segle XIV, la ciutat s’estancava però encara va construir un nou recinte emmurallat.
Beneficial effects of nicotinamide on the mouse model of preeclampsia
Authors: Li Feng
Published: April 2019

Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy related disorder that is characterized by hypertension and proteinuria in the mother. It is associated with impaired coagulation and liver function, and a variety of other detrimental effects. In severe cases without treatment, PE can progress to eclampsia and result in seizures, a life-threatening condition. Although the etiology of PE is largely unknown, sFlt-1 (soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1) released by the impaired placenta resulting from insufficient perfusion plays a critical role in PE, and phenotypes of PE can be induced by experimentally increasing sFlt-1. We and other investigators have proposed that endothelin-1 (ET-1) system is the mediator of the pathological effects of excess sFlt-1, and antagonists of ET-1 receptor block the effects of sFlt-1. Unfortunately, this class of drugs is teratogenic and unsuitable for treating pregnant women.

Nicotinamide is a naturally occurring derivative of vitamin B3 in the body and inhibits ADP-ribosyl cyclase, which is activated by the ET-1 receptor. Therefore, if utilized, it would be expected to play a beneficial role in PE. In mouse models of PE, a high dose of nicotinamide shows great success in lowering blood pressure, correcting renal function and structure, prolonging pregnancy as well as increasing fetal weight/number. Nicotinamide, being generally regarded as safe, could be a promising substance to further investigate for use in clinical trials.

Położenie klasowo-własnościowe graczy w profesjonalnych sportach drużynowych

Although social sciences do not ignore sports altogether, they do not attempt to analyse the class position of players in team sports. Yerefore, the aim of this paper is to conduct such analysis. Ye starting point is introduction of the idea of socio-economic class based on the theory of economic ownership understood as rent. As the term "economic rent" is used in neoclassical economy, I explain the di>erences between that approach and the one used in this paper. Building on theory and on empirical data on the earnings of players, I conclude that while the sports elite undoubtedly represent ownership and bourgeoisie class, the less !nancially attractive leagues or less earning players represent workers owning labour and sometimes that ownership is severely limited.

Ewolucja teorii ekonomii rozwoju w XX wieku: od kategorii wzrostu gospodarczego do koncepcji zrównoważonego rozwoju
Authors: Zadroga Adam
Published: April 2019

The article addresses the economic theories that have arisen on the basis of development economics of the 20th century. The aim is to present the evolution of these concepts and to evaluate them. Historical, descriptive and comparative methods were used. The author argues that in face of current development issues a return to historical sources, combined with their proper reading and (re) interpretation, enables formulation of important conclusions for the present and setting more accurate targets for the future. Thanks to this reading and reinterpretation policy makers have a chance to avoid errors in managing the current socio-economic policy. The analysis led to the conclusion that (1) the understanding of economic development was at first narrowed to growth but with time has moved to (2) to the category of socio-economic development and in the 1950 s a new sub-discipline of economics - development economics - was developed. Its achievements helped to take into account in today's prevailing approaches the social determinants of economic growth, of which sustainable development is the most popular.
