The net tax-benefit position and the role of self-interest in attitudes towards the welfare state
Authors: Han Solhee 
Published: September 2023

This paper examines to what extent the actual net tax-benefit position (redistribution outcome) affects support towards the welfare state besides the typical indicator for self-interest, income. This paper then explores how own and partner’s socio-demographic factors affect support based on self-assessed social risks while ideology and beliefs mitigate self-interested judgements.
This paper integrates tax and benefit information from Luxembourg Income Study and attitudes data in European Social Survey using Statistical Matching. The technique integrates target variables that are distinctively observed in two sources using common variables which best explain the target variables in each data set. Using the linked data set, it adopts a multi-level model to explore institutional and individual factors. At the macro level, it investigates progressivity and sizes of taxes and transfers of nineteen European countries. Also, household arrangements including living with children and/or partner and demographics including age, gender, education, occupation, and own economic outlook are examined.
Using a more direct indicator for self-interest, the net tax-benefit position, expected results of the analysis are in three folds. First, those who pay more taxes and receive less benefits are less supportive of the welfare state despite the same income level. Second, those who are more likely to benefit from the welfare state are more likely to be supportive of the welfare state. For example, those who live with children may be more supportive due to higher likelihood to receive family benefits. Similarly, subjective assessment to benefit from the welfare state due to higher social risks such as unemployment or sickness leads to more positive attitudes. Third, those who are politically left and have less meritocratic values are likely to be more supportive.
Due to the data limitation, the impact of income-tax-benefit positions on welfare attitudes was not directly measured. This paper contributes to this discussion using the Statistical Matching and Multi-level modelling which explores interactions of actual net tax-benefit position, potential benefits based on social position/risks, and mitigating beliefs.
Improving access to free school meals for children in poverty in Northern Ireland
Authors: Gleghorne Nicole 
Published: September 2023

ObjectivesTwo thirds of children in poverty did not receive free school meals (FSM) between 2015 and 2019 in Northern Ireland (Department for Communities in Northern Ireland, 2022). This project aims to explore this discrepancy between eligibility and access to FSM and improve access to FSM for all children in poverty.
MethodsData from the Family Resources Survey (FRS) between 2017 and 2020 was obtained from the UK Data Service and FSM eligibility was calculated using the current criteria provided by the Department for Education in Northern Ireland. Cross-tabulations were used to explore the number of children in receipt of FSM compared to those eligible but not in receipt of FSM. Multilevel logistic regression models used FSM eligibility as the dependent variable and relative and absolute poverty before and after housing costs and number of siblings in a family as the independent variables, controlling for age and gender of the child.
ResultsPreliminary analysis suggests that increasing the income threshold for families with more than one child provides greater access to FSM for children in poverty. There is also evidence that using the OECD modified equivalisation to adjust household income for larger families improves the rate of FSM eligibility for children in relative and absolute poverty before and after housing costs. The findings aim to provide evidence on the most appropriate threshold and equivalisation calculation required to ensure all children in poverty are eligible for FSM, giving greater access to FSM and educational opportunities to those children who need it most.
ConclusionThe project will inform the current Anti-Poverty Strategy which is under review in Northern Ireland highlighting the need to consider family size through equivalisation into the FSM eligibility criteria. It also emphasizes the importance of administrative data to inform policy on FSM and other educational opportunities in Northern Ireland.
Changing trends in child welfare inequalities in Northern Ireland

ObjectivesThis study uses longitudinal administrative data to investigate the relationship between area level deprivation and the 1) referral, 2) investigation, 3) registration and 4) looked-after stages of children’s contact with child and family social work in Northern Ireland (NI) from 2010-2017 (stages 1-3) and 2010-2020 (stage 4).
MethodsChildren’s social care data (SOSCARE database) for the years 2010 to 2020 were obtained from the Honest Broker Service in NI. The data were linked with the 2017 NI Multiple Deprivation Measure through the family of origin postcode. Cross-tabulations of year and deprivation decile were used to produce frequencies of children who experienced the four levels of intervention within each of the study years. These were then used to calculate various measures of absolute and relative inequality including the Slope Index of Inequality (SII), the Relative Ratio of Inequality (RRI) and the Relative Index of Inequality (RII).
ResultsThere was a clear and increasing social gradient in child welfare interventions over time. Children referred to children’s social care during 2010-2017 were 4-5 times more likely to come from the most deprived areas compared to the least deprived. Despite fairly stable levels of referral inequality, the ratio of children subject to child protection investigations rose from 3 in 2010 to 6 in 2017, the ratio of children subject to child protection plans rose from 4.5 in 2010 to 8 in 2017 and the ratio of children looked after rose from 4 in 2010 to 9 in 2020. This widening inequality was largely driven by the increasing involvement of younger children from the most deprived areas in child protection and looked-after processes.
ConclusionIn an environment of economic austerity and reduced spending, we are intervening in the lives of children and families living in the most deprived areas of NI at disproportionate rates. The current independent review of children’s social care offers an opportunity to reconfigure current provision with a clear inequalities focus.
Linked Consumer Registers as data infrastructure for timely and inclusive monitoring of community characteristics
Authors: Longley Paul , Van Dijk Justin , Chi Bin 
Published: September 2023

We review creation and maintenance of nationwide individual level Linked Consumer Registers as DigitalFootprints Data and their use to create timely, inclusive annual neighbourhood scale research ready datasets of social and spatial mobility. Outputs include annual estimates of neighbourhood churn, neighbourhood deprivation following moves, energy usage and ‘housing career’ measures.
Individual level names and addresses are harvested from public Electoral Registers and consumer sources from 1997-2023. A novel ‘migration model’ is developed to georeference records and link them across years. The provenance of data and methods are documented in metadata to accompany derivative research ready data extracts pertaining to residential mobility occurrences and outcomes. Novel methods are developed to reveal the probable gender, ethnicity and age characteristics of all households. Data are then linked to property level Zoopla rental listings, Land Registry/Registers of Scotland transactions and energy performance statistics to link household characteristics to properties occupied before and after moves.
Results provide annual nationwide updates of neighbourhood household structure, ethnicity and demography that, subject to disclosure controls, can be honed to any convenient geography. They are validated against decennial census statistics and compared with midyear population estimates. Linkage to external datasets enables further external validation of methods used to infer moves and plug known omissions in the registers. Application of individual level demographic models makes it possible to model household structure and individual ethnic, age and gender characteristics. Summary linked and annually updated research ready datasets pertaining to neighbourhood residential churn, ethnicity, distances of residential moves housing careers and domestic energy usage are then produced.
The research is an ambitious linkage of individual and property level consumer and administrative datasets. Individual level linkage and modelling provides analytical flexibility in research ready data creation, and data linkage can be expedited for any period for which name and address data are available.

Published: September 2023

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan luokanopettajakoulutukseen kuuluvien perusopetuksessa opetettavien aineiden ja aihekokonaisuuksien monialaisten opintojen historian ja yhteiskuntaopin pedagogiikan opintojaksoja ja niiden vaikuttavuutta. Näille opintojaksoille on opettajankoulutuslaitoksen opetussuunnitelmauudistuksen yhteydessä kehitetty malli, jossa hyödynnetään merkityksellisiä oppimiskokemuksia. Opintojaksoilla keskeisessä asemassa ovat luokanopettajaopiskelijoiden suunnittelemat ja toteuttamat oppimisprojektit, joiden tarkoituksena on tukea merkityksellisten oppimiskokemusten kautta historian pedagogiikan opintojaksojen tavoitteiden saavuttamista. Tavoitteiden keskiössä ovat historiallisen ajattelun taidot sekä niitä tukevien tutkivien prosessien suunnittelu ja toteutus. Aineisto koostuu opiskelijoiden merkityksellisiä oppimiskokemuksia kuvaavista kirjoitelmista, jotka he tekivät osana opintojaksoja. Analyysissä opiskelijoiden merkitykselliset oppimiskokemukset jakautuivat kolmeen merkityskategoriaan. Merkitykselliset oppimiskokemukset painottuivat erityisesti kokonaisvaltaiseen opettajuuden kehittymiseen ja vähäisemmin itse historian opettamiseen ja oppimiseen.
Abstract
This article examines meaningful learning experiences in pedagogical courses focusing on history and social studies as part of class teacher education at the University of Jyväskylä. These courses are part of the 60 ects in multidisciplinary and cross-curricular pedagogical studies that qualify class teachers to work in basic education. This study is based on a model for meaningful learning experiences developed through curriculum reform in the department of teacher education. In this study the model has been used to strengthen the competence of teacher students in historical thinking as they design and implement learning projects during the first year of class teacher education. The course objectives are to develop skills in historical thinking and to be able to research the development of these skills through the design and implementation of learning projects. The data (N=56) consist of texts describing meaningful learning experiences written by the class teacher students as part of the course. In the analysis, the students’ meaningful learning experiences were divided into three categories. The findings indicate that meaningful learning experiences for the student teachers emphasize overall teacher development with the teaching and learning of history receiving less emphasis. These findings help to consider how this model can be further developed and in particular the role of history studies within class teacher education.

Tarkastelemme artikkelissa lukionuorten tapoja hahmottaa ekologisesti kestävää tulevaisuuden yhteiskuntaa. Tutkimusaineistona toimivat nuorten tuottamat utooppiset kuvitelmat kestävästä yhteiskunnasta 2040-luvulla. Aineistonanalyysi osoitti, että lukionuoret kuvailevat ekologisesti kestävää ihannetulevaisuutta kolmen eri puhetavan eli kehyksen kautta. Tekninen kehys, arvokehys ja vastuukehys asettavat tulevaisuuden tarkastelulle eri lähtökohdat, jotka sekä rajoittavat että avaavat mahdollisuuksia tulevaisuuden kuvitteluun. Kehykset eivät nuorten puhetavoissa ilmenneet yhtäaikaisesti, vaan ne ilmenivät ekologisuuden eri osa-alueita pohdittaessa. Ekologisesti kestävää tulevaisuutta edistävässä lukio-opetuksessa eri kehysten tulisi kuitenkin kietoutua toisiinsa. Ehdotamme, että utooppinen kuvittelu voi paljastaa tiettyjä kehysten välisiä puutteita ja siten edistää kokonaisvaltaiseen ymmärrykseen tähtäävän ympäristökasvatuksen kehittymistä.

Abstract
In this article, we look at the ways in which young people in upper secondary schools envisage an ecologically sustainable society in the future. The research data will be based on the utopian visions of a sustainable city in the 2040s produced by young people. The analysis of the data showed that upper secondary school students describe an ecologically sustainable ideal future through three different frames. The technical frame, the value frame and the responsibility frame set different starting points for looking at the future, which both limit and open up possibilities for imagining the future. The frames did not appear simultaneously, but emerged in the context of reflecting on different aspects of ecology. However, the different frames should be intertwined in secondary education for an ecologically sustainable future. We suggest that utopian imagination can reveal certain gaps between different frames and thus contribute to the development of holistic environmental education.

Published: September 2023

Using the system of equations corresponding to the classical theory of orthotropic cylindrical shells, the free vibrations of thin elastic orthotropic cylindrical panel with rigid – clamped edge generator are investigated. In order to calculate the natural frequencies and to identify the respective natural modes, the generalized Kantorovich-Vlasov method of reduction to ordinary differential equations is used. Dispersion equations for finding the natural frequencies of possible types of vibrations are derived. An asymptotic relation between the dispersion equations of the problem at hand and the analogous problem for a cantilever rectangular plate is established. An algorithm for separating possible boundary vibrations is presented. As an example, the values of dimensionless characteristics of natural frequencies are derived for an orthotropic cylindrical panel.

Abstract
This study aims to determine and evaluate the operating parameters of three modern self-propelled forage harvesters during maize silage harvest. The machines were equipped with operator assistance systems. Field tests were conducted for three self-propelled forage harvesters: Claas Jaguar 870, Claas Jaguar 950, KroneBiG X 650. The tests were conducted in large-scale farms located in Wielkopolskie and Pomorskie voivodeships. Maize was harvested at the beginning of the full-grain maturity stage. A complete time study covering four control shifts in accordance with BN-76/9195-01 was performed to determine operating ratios and indicators. Fuel consumption was determined using the full tank method. The Claas Jaguar 950 forage harvester had the highest effective mass performance: 141.3 Mg·h-1. The same machine also achieved the lowest fuel consumption per tonne of fresh matter (FM) harvested: 0.51 kg·Mg-1. Labour expenditure for the self-propelled forage harvesters tested during the total time of change ranged from 0.38 to 0.62 labour hour per hectare. The tested machines also had very high technical and technological reliability.
