Economic Growth

description: Central to this report is the microsimulation model which has been developed at the SPRC over the last three to four years. This model builds on detailed income data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) by estimating how economic, demographic and tax-transfer policy changes have impacted upon family incomes. It is possible to use the basic method to construct counterfactual outcomes, i.e. outcomes which would have been observed if economic or policy changes had been different from those which actually took place. By comparing observable outcomes with these counterfactual simulations, it is possible to estimate, for example, the impact of changing levels of unemployment on poverty and income inequality. This Report documents the underlying microsimulation techniques, as they exist in 1992. It is a feature of this research that the methods themselves are constantly being improved as new data and techniques become available. Having explained the methods, the Report analyses changes in income distribution and poverty in Australia in the 1980s and highlights some of the factors contributing to those changes. It is important research and its results are fundamental to an understanding of how Australian families have fared during a time of rapid economic and social change.

description: Este trabalho de investigação pretende entender quais os principais factores que promovem o sucesso educativo nos alunos que frequentam as escolas profissionais. Trata-se de um estudo de carácter qualitativo levado a cabo em três escolas profissionais, tendo sido realizadas, em cada uma delas, entrevistas semiestruturadas com três professores (um por cada área de estudos), dois Directores de Curso, o Director Pedagógico e dez alunos. No caso dos últimos, as entrevistas foram colectivas, no âmbito da técnica de grupos de focagem. A análise das entrevistas realizadas permite-nos concluir que a razão fundamental que se encontra na base de taxas de sucesso educativo mais elevadas nas escolas profissionais é a motivação dos alunos. Os principais factores que aparecem ligados a esta motivação são a organização curricular, o clima/dimensão relacional e o desempenho de papéis (aluno/professor). A qualidade da relação interpessoal professor/aluno e o clima de humanidade e cooperação que se vive nestas escolas, são altamente valorizados pelos vários sujeitos entrevistados e entendidos como motivadores e propiciadores de sucesso educativo.

description: Image enhancement is an important preprocessing step in any image analysis process. It helps to catalyze the further image analysis process like Image segmentation. In this paper, an approach for satellite color image enhancement on HSV color space is introduced. Here, local contrast management is given main focus because noises exist on local regions are found over amplified when enhancement is done through global enhancement technique like histogram equalization. The color arrangement and computations are done in HSV color space. The V-channel has been extracted for the enhancement process as this is the channel which represents the intensity and thereby represents the luminance of an image. At first, the image is normalized to stabilize the pixel distribution. The normalized image channel is analyzed with Binary Search Based CLAHE (BSB-CLAHE) for local contrast enhancement. The results obtained from the experiments prove the superiority of the proposed approach.

Henderson poverty line
Minimum income

description: Estimates of poverty in Australia have relied exclusively on the Henderson poverty line, despite extensive criticism of its relevance to contemporary Australian conditions. This paper analyses data from Morgan Gallup Poll (MGP) surveys on the minimum income required by an Australian family of four to keep in health and live decently in order to assess community views on minimum income levels required in Australia. Analysis of how the average response to the MGP question has changed over the last four decades suggests that community views of adequate minimum income levels are adjusted upwards in line with average income levels. This evidence suggests that Australians see poverty more in relative than absolute terms. Data from the July 1987 MGP survey are then used to derive a consensual poverty line based on responses to the minimum income question. The resulting poverty line is well above the Henderson poverty line. The survey data are then used to provide an estimate of poverty among families of four in July 1987 and to investigate some aspects of how family needs vary with family circumstances.

description: Following Sukthankar’s master chart of the recensional history of the epic, Mahadevan postulates the following flow chart for the Northern Recension of Mahābhārata : Vyāsa’s Jaya Bhārata (most probably oral) ⇒ Mahābhārata (probably oral, ca. 500-300 BCE) ⇒ Northern Recension (most probably put into writing in Brāhmī script, ca. 300-100 BCE) ⇒ ν text (in the Kuru realm, the area of the origin of the epic; also γ text in the Magadha realm) ⇒ Śāradā text (ca. 150 BCE).   Sukthankar’s ν text and γ text trace the two of the three major movements of the ārya departing from the lower valley of the gradually shrinking Sarasvatī – northwards to the upper reaches of the river into Kashmir and eastwards into the Yamunā-Ganga doab, respectively. There is however no text marking the third movement – southwards, along the coast and over the sea to the lower western coast of the peninsula; Mahadevan, however labours to extract this from Sukhthankar’s master chart in his own way.

description: Neste artigo analisam-se as razões da sub-representação das mulheres em posições de gestão e liderança nas escolas de Macau. Os autores identificam dois tipos de factores que consideram fundamentais no estudo do referido fenómeno: a cultura societal e as culturas intraorganizacionais que predominam localmente no domínio da educação. Imagens penalizadoras do feminino, enraizadas na história e na cultura chinesas, bem como estilos autoritários e masculinistas de liderança educacional, conjugam-se para dificultar o acesso das mulheres aos lugares de topo nas escolas. Os autores defendem igualmente que as dificuldades enfrentadas pelas aspirantes a posições de liderança nas organizações escolares podem acentuar-se em contextos em que a educação está sujeita aos princípios e mecanismos de mercado.

Ending Child Poverty: An Assessment of the Government's Family Package

Subjects: Child poverty

description: During the 1987 federal election campaign, the Prime Minister made the pledge that 'by 1990 no child will need to live in poverty'. As a first step towards that goal a family package was announced during the election and spelt out in greater detail in the 1987-88 Budget in September. This report analyses the impact of the family package on children living below the poverty line. The report begins by noting that financial poverty among dependent children has increased from around 6 per cent in the mid-sixties to 20 per cent by the mid-eighties. This corresponds to a rise in the total number of children in poverty from 233 thousand in 1966 to over 800 thousand in 1985-86. International comparisons of the incidence of child poverty at the turn of the decade also show Australia in a very poor light. Using standardised definitions, the incidence of .child poverty in Australia far exceeds that in a number of other industrialised economies with the exception of the United States. The report follows earlier research by using the poverty line developed by the Poverty Commission - the Henderson poverty line - to base its assessment of, the impact of the family package. It is argued that the incidence of poverty - the proportion of the population below the poverty line - is an insensitive measure against which to assess the impact of the family package. This is because poverty incidence only changes when families are moved from below the poverty line to above it. The report discusses an alternative measure, based on the concept of the poverty gap, and applies this to assess the family package. After describing the main elements in the family package, the report discusses the assumptions on which the assessment of its impact is based. In analysing the impact of the family package on child poverty, account is taken of housing costs, using projections derived from the 1981-82 Income and Housing Survey. The results indicate that about 100 thousand of the 540 thousand children in. pensioner and beneficiary families will be moved out of poverty by the family package. However, all such families with children will receive increased incomes, and it is estimated that the poverty gap is reduced by $160 million, from $350 million to $190 million. It is concluded that although the family package represents a significant improvement in the incomes of poor families, more will be required if the child poverty pledge is to be achieved. While additional income support measures are warranted, these need to be part of a co-ordinated, multidimensional policy approach. The report stresses the need for housing and employment policies which would help to ensure that families do not need to be so reliant on income support in the first place.

description: This report has been written in two parts. The first, Sections 2-4, provides a conceptual framework for the analysis of human resources; analyses the data on the trends in the Australian labour market so as to show the trends in the allocation of human resources, in most cases since 1966; it gives a more detailed analysis of the use of human resources in community services; and then examines some data on education, to show how human resources are developed in the education system and the effects of the operation of that system. The second part, Sections 5-6, examines how human resources are distributed in an urban setting and the effects of this distribution on social structure in terms of class division and socioeconomic stratification. Section 5 presents an overview of literature on the demographic aspects of urban environment and of relevant issues for social policy. Section 6 provides a multivariate analysis of the 1986 census data for the Sydney metropolitan area, using the Local Government Area (LGA) as the unit of analysis. In all, 18 demographic and socioeconomic variables are analysed, with the aim of constructing a 'Vulnerability Index' of the cumulative or compound effects of the spatial distribution of the examined variables. The Index aims to show the extent to which social and economic inequalities are spatially distributed in an urban setting, and then to draw implications of the distribution for governments' policy on the provision of services. The concluding section (Section 7) presents a discussion on the content of the report, examines theoretical implications of the findings of the study, and then draws out conclusions and implications for social policy and for future research.

description: Huntington's and Parkinson's Diseases (HD and PD) are neurodegenerative disorders that share some pathological features but are disparate in others. For example, while both diseases are marked by aberrant protein aggregation in the brain, the specific proteins that aggregate and types of neurons affected differ. A better understanding of the molecular similarities and differences between these two diseases may lead to a more complete mechanistic picture of both the individual diseases and the neurodegenerative process in general. We sought to characterize the common transcriptional signature of HD and PD as well as genes uniquely implicated in each of these diseases using mRNA-Seq data from post mortem human brains in comparison to neuropathologically normal controls. The enriched biological pathways implicated by HD differentially expressed genes show remarkable consistency with those for PD differentially expressed genes and implicate the common biological processes of neuroinflammation, apoptosis, transcriptional dysregulation, and neuron-associated functions. Comparison of the differentially expressed (DE) genes highlights a set of consistently altered genes that span both diseases. In particular, processes involving nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFkB) and transcription factor cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) are the most prominent among the genes common to HD and PD. When the combined HD and PD data are compared to controls, relatively few additional biological processes emerge as significantly enriched suggesting that most pathways are independently seen within each disorder. Despite showing comparable numbers of DE genes, DE genes unique to HD are enriched in far more coherent biological processes than the DE genes unique to PD, suggesting that PD may represent a more heterogeneous disorder.
Meals on Wheels in New South Wales: A Discussion Paper

description: This piece by Randall Smith is not an empirical study of a sample of Meals on Wheels services, it is not an evaluation of the performance of the services, it is not a study of those who deliver or receive Meals on Wheels. It is instead, an attempt to describe the development of the services in New South Wales, and to identify the policy interventions and activities which have given the services their present form and structure. In the process it demonstrates Smith's perceptive eye and his ability to assemble a policy edifice. He has worked tirelessly at finding and understanding the available literature (listed on pages 42-48) and has interviewed numerous people involved with Meals on Wheels. The policy analysis he has brought to this exercise is extremely valuable. He has argued that there is a tremendous shortfall in provision, yet the mechanisms which could begin to attack the deficiency are characterised by dreadful fragmentation, inability to take initiative and lack of an acknowledged base of responsibility or clearly defined auspices. The answers to the problems are not in this monograph, but an important mark of a provocative piece of research or analysis is that it raises questions and stimulates further research.

description: Este artigo apresenta e discute os resultados de um estudo realizado em dois municípios do Alentejo Central sobre a evolução do grau de desempenho escolar no 3º ciclo do ensino básico no período de 1995 a 1999. A medida do desempenho apresenta-se resumida através de um índice-síntese, constituído a partir da projecção da coorte fictícia por transposição de índices simples do estado da população escolar. A desagregação por ano lectivo, município, tipologia da escola e sexogénero da população escolar conduziu à constituição de perfis e à determinação hierárquica dos elementos combinados, bem como ao apuramento de coeficientes de congruência e respectivas distâncias. Os resultados evidenciam em especial a relação indirecta entre o elemento cronológico 'ano lectivo' e o desempenho e ainda o sobredesempenho feminino face ao masculino e uma certa tendência de conglomeração ao nível da variável tipologia da escola, tendendo de um lado a agrupar-se escolas básicas e do outro escolas secundárias. O afrouxamento progressivo de um certo cerco administrativo face à progressão automática, a natureza hiper-estável do sistema educativo e o efeito de refluxo negativo, são algumas das linhas de interpretação e discussão dos resultados lançadas para o debate.

description: Eucommia ulmoides Oliver shows various medicinal functions in both in-vitro and in-vivo studies, and its chlorogenic acid component has been indicated as one of the major bioactive compounds exerting pharmacological effects. At present, the high-performance liquid chromatography technique is the conventional method used for the quantification of chlorogenic acids, but it requires expensive instrumentation and complicated operation. In the current research, near-infrared spectroscopy was employed for the quantitative analysis of chlorogenic acid in Eucommia ulmoides. The quantification model was established based on near-infrared spectroscopy spectra for analysis of chlorogenic acids in the ethanol-aqueous extract from Eucommia ulmoides leaf. A partial least squares regression was employed for the quantitative model development and test validation was adopted to validate the regression model. The optimized ranges for the quantitative model are 4381.7–4034.6 cm−1 and 6815.5–6471.6 cm−1 with the pretreatment of data using the first derivative and vector normalization of the near-infrared spectra, with the rank = 5, coefficient of determination = 0.8843, residual predictive deviation = 3.18, and root mean square error of prediction = 1.37. This work, therefore, provides an effective and convenient method for the rapid quantitative analysis of chlorogenic acid content in Eucommia leaf.

description: Existem em Portugal poucos estudos acerca da investigação educacional publicada e do seu impacte. Só nos finais da década de 50 [do século XX], a investigação em educação começou a ser reconhecida como instrumento apropriado à busca de alternativas inovadoras às políticas e às práticas de ensino. Tendo consciência de que em Portugal, em particular no ensino secundário, se verificam grandes taxas de insucesso e de abandono escolar, o poder político tem vindo a adaptar medidas que, no entanto, não se têm revelado eficazes. Por outro lado, tem a comunidade científica produzido investigações e outros estudos acerca do ensino secundário, não se conhecendo a influência dos mesmos na fundamentação das decisões tomadas ou sequer se são levados em linha de conta. Neste contexto, o estudo que sustenta este artigo, tem como objectivo geral proceder ao levantamento e à análise das investigações e outros estudos sobre o ensino secundário português, publicados entre 1971 e 2003. Os resultados aqui apresentados centram-se apenas na avaliação das aprendizagens, um dos muitos temas/domínios de investigação em educação. Este estudo tem uma natureza histórica e descritiva com um design misto em que no tratamento e na análise da informação recolhida se utilizaram técnicas quantitativas e qualitativas. A análise de conteúdo dos 46 estudos focou-se no objecto, na população-alvo, nas instituições, na metodologia, nos instrumentos, na forma e data da publicação, nos resultados e nas recomendações. Relatam-se algumas características e resultados importantes relativos à investigação em educação feita em Portugal no domínio da avaliação das aprendizagens, no ensino secundário.

Globalization, Inequality and the Rich Countries of the G-20: Evidence from the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS)
Creators: name: Smeeding, Timothy M.
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 2002

description: The purpose of this study is to summarize and comment upon what we know about the determinants of both the level and trend in economic inequality over the past two decades, and to relate these findings to the progress of globalization in these nations. While the fruits of economic progress in rich nations have not been equally spread, we argue that most citizens in rich Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) nations have benefited from the trend toward global economic progress. We begin with a summary of the differences in overall economic inequality within the G-20 nations based on LIS (Luxembourg Income Study) data and recent work by others. Here we find that social policies, wage distributions, time worked, social and labor market institutions and demographic differences all have some influence on why there are large differences in inequality among rich nations at any point in time. In contrast, trade policy has not been shown to have any major impact on economic inequality.

Explaining Changes in the Social Structure of Employment: The Importance of Geography
Creators: name: Hunter, Boyd
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 1996

description: Spatial inequality of income and employment is increasing in Australian cities. This paper explores the factors underlying increasing neighbourhood inequality with a particular focus on employment inequality. Particular attention is paid to the role of public housing: the increased targeting of public housing is identified as a partial explanation of the observed changes. A conventional Blinder decomposition is used to identify the role of observable characteristics of the population, such as education, demographics, ethnicity and industry structure, and returns to those characteristics. The changes in observable personal characteristics indicate that there has been a significant amount of sorting by these characteristics since 1976. For example, Australian cities have become more socially stratified since that time with well educated people increasingly living together. However, it is important to note that the differences between low-status and other areas cannot be explained solely by changes in personal characteristics of the local residents. In summary, geography apparently matters!

description: Neste artigo apresenta-se uma investigação sobre a avaliação da eficácia de um projecto que visa a intencionalização por parte dos professores do Primeiro Ciclo de estratégias que promovam o desenvolvimento de variáveis sócio-afectivas. A metodologia utilizada foi uma metodologia de infusão curricular (os professores trabalhavam a promoção das variáveis afectivas em inter-ligação com as outras variáveis curriculares). Os resultados sugerem diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre o grupo Experimental e grupo de Controlo em todas as variáveis trabalhadas. Apresentam-se os resultados, bem como as principais implicações dos mesmos em termos das políticas educativas e de uma re-orientação da Educação e da Escola.

Pelas rotas dramáticas da liberdade: uma aproximação aos últimos escritos de Hans Urs von Balthasar sobre o inferno
Creators: name: Martins, António
Publisher: name: Theologica
Year: 2016

description: O inferno (uma possível condenação eterna para quem se fechou por completo a Deus, ao amor e à relação, na perda de si mesmo) é uma das questões escatológica que, na atualidade, tem sido objeto de uma profunda revisão teológica. Hans Urs von Balthasar foi, por ventura, o teólogo católico contemporâneo que levou mais a fundo uma reflexão sobre a possibilidade da tragédia da liberdade humana no horizonte «sempre maior» da liberdade divina, na assimetria entre o dom de Deus (a graça) e a resposta humana. A reflexão que apresentamos tem como base a publicação em português dos últimos escritos de von Balthasar em que clarifica, não sem polémica e escândalo para as hostes ultraconservadoras, a sua posição teológica sobre o inferno. Procuramos evidenciar como Balthasar se afasta da certeza agostiniana de uma condenação eterna, que tem predominado na teologia e na pregação da Igreja latina, e se abre, na sequência da teologia ortodoxa e da mística católica, a uma esperança de salvação para todos. O seu esclarecimento teológico tem o seu fundamento na teodramática de Cristo que, em sua obediência até à morte e morte de cruz (cf. Fl 2,8), experimenta e supera (redime) a «infernal» distância que separa o pecador do Deus santo.

description: Background: Aging is often characterized by cognitive impairment that sometimes exceed the expected for normal aging. These changes that do not meet criteria for dementia establish the cognitive impairment no dementia (CIND) that, regardless of etiology, has a high conversion rate to dementia.Aims: To investigate the effect of a Group Neuropsychological Rehabilitation Program (GNRP) in cognitive, executive and emotional functioning of institutionalized elderly with CIND.Methods: The sample included 24 elderly individuals, aged between 67 and 92 years. Twelve elderly underwent the GNRP and twelve elderly stayed on a waiting list. The study had a quasi-experimental design and was blind in the re-assessment. The ten interventions took 90 minutes per session, once a week. The pre and post-intervention assessment included the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, the Mini-Mental State Examination, the Frontal Assessment Battery, the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory, and the Loneliness Scale.Results: The ANCOVAs showed a significant effect of the GNRP on the improvement of executive functioning (ɳ2 = 0.26) and feelings of loneliness (ɳ2 = 0.77), both with statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between the baseline and the post-intervention. The comparison deteriorated in the cognitive functioning and depressive symptoms (p < 0.05), suggesting that the GNRP prevents that deterioration, but ANCOVA was significant only for cognitive functioning (ɳ2 = 0.26).Conclusion: The GNRP in institutionalized elderly with CIND offers promising results and shows efficacy in improving executive functioning and feelings of loneliness. Larger and more diverse samples and the study of the generalization and maintenance of long-term results are now needed.
Bases psicológicas e desenvolvimentais da educação para a cidadania em contexto escolar

Year: 2004

description: Este texto situa a problemática da educação para a cidadania em contexto escolar a partir de um olhar psicológico, procurando compreender as bases psicológicas e desenvolvimentais indispensáveis à formação de cidadãos. Sugerem-se as dimensões que essa formação poderá adquirir - promoção do contacto entre a escola e o meio envolvente; desenvolvimento de competências de cidadania; valorização da participação activa na comunidade - e avançam-se algumas metodologias adequadas para a concretização dessa formação. Defende-se, finalmente, que uma autêntica e completa educação neste domínio dê uma atenção especial a variáveis relativas às motivações e aos afectos e não apenas a variáveis de tipo cognitivo.

Os abismos da felicidade: sobre a “Realização” contemporânea da utopia tecnológica e do utilitarismo

description: O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar alguns dos eventos aparentemente absurdos e violentos de nossa vida contemporânea, ou seja, os distúrbios ocorridos durante 2011 em Londres, para um teste filosófico afiado. De acordo com este teste, e seu fundo filosófico inerente, a dominação esmagadora e dominante do consumismo, tanto na política quanto no comportamento humano individual, poderia ser lida não como o fracasso da ética da virtude, ou a pura ausência de raciocínio filosófico, mas como O sinal de um verdadeiro e completo cumprimento da agenda da filosofia utilitarista, definida pela compreensão abrupta da felicidade material como o princípio orientador da ética e da filosofia prática como um todo.

description: Goals. Memory impairment is one of the types of cognitive impairment that most affects the elderly. Age is considered one of the major factors in memory impairment, including by the elderly themselves. Research has shown that there are other factors affecting memory of elderly persons. It remains, however, unclear what is the real impact of age in memory when controlling the influence of other variables. Thus, this study aims to analyze the impact of age on memory functioning of elderly persons and check if the potential impact remains when controlling the role of other variables (sex, education, profession, marital status, residential status, and clinical situation).Methods. The global sample comprised 1126 subjects (283 men and 843 women, 226 residents in the community and 900 institutionalized elderly) aged from 60 to 100 years. The assessment included items from the Mini-Mental State Examination (working memory), the Montreal Cognitive Assessment factor (verbal declarative memory), and Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure (visuospatial memory).Results. Overall, age, education, profession, marital, residential, and clinical condition have differently influenced memory, depending on the type of memory. The hierarchical regression analysis showed that age is a predictive factor in all types of memory. However, other predictors have emerged with higher regression coefficients compared to age, according to the type of memory (except in working memory).Conclusions. Age, education and profession influence memory, as well as factors that potentially stimulate cognitively and socially (like having a partner and living in the community). The results indicate the importance of intervening, especially among institutionalized elderly, older, unmarried, with low education, and manual profession.
