description: We examine how the pandemic has influenced Americans’ short-term financial security and future retirement stability using longitudinal survey data from the Understanding America Study (UAS), spanning the period May 2018 to May 2022. We find that while, on average, Americans’ short-term financial stability improved through the first year of the pandemic, Americans’ financial security decreased between 2021 and 2022. In particular, relative to 2021 levels, we observe reductions in financial satisfaction and short-term savings behavior and balances, and an increase in the proportion of respondents spending in excess of their income. Part of the decline appears to be driven by difficulties dealing with the spike in inflation: Approximately 30% of respondents reported that the price increases were causing them either a “moderate” or “high” amount of financial stress, and these individuals experienced particularly stark reductions in short-term financial stability. Despite declines in the pandemic’s second year, on average, short-term financial security remained above prepandemic levels in 2022. Impacts on retirement security, however, appear bleaker. We observe reductions in retirement saving behavior and balances in 2022, both relative to 2021 and to prepandemic levels: On average, our sample was less likely to be saving for retirement and had lower retirement savings in 2022 than in 2019, despite being three years older. Collectively, our results suggest that the observed improvements in short-term financial stability may not translate into improved retirement outcomes in the future.

Women and Community on the Upper Goulburn Goldfields
Creators: name: LOUISE CATHERINE BLAKE
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: History

description: This thesis investigates how women (and men) have made different kinds of community on the Upper Goulburn goldfields in north-east Victoria. Beginning with the early gold rushes in the 1860s and concluding with the nostalgic re-visiting of goldfields history in the 1930s, my thesis studies women’s lives in the ‘communities’ of Jamieson, Gaffneys Creek and Woods Point in the boom and bust phases of mining activity. The thesis uses a microhistorical approach to investigate and extend the meanings that have been attached to the term ‘goldfield community’, and to women’s role within this.

The Person From Living being to Loving being: The historical development of the concept of Person from the Greek tragedy to St Thomas Aquinas
Creators: name: Fontanini, Walter
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This lecture undertakes a comprehensive exploration of the concept of Person as it has been expounded from Greek tragedy and Roman legal-philosophical thought up to the Reinassance, with the persistent theme of unity embedded into a dynamic relationship inherent this concept.

Here I'd like to delve more deeply into a lesser-known subject, namely the lines of transmission of knowledge from Greek to European culture, with particular reference to the line of the Syriac-Arabic school of translation in Baghdad, with obvious influences from Nestorianism, Manichaeism and Zoroastrianism. The syncretism of the translations from Baghdad to the Islamic school of Cordoba and the Catholic School of Tolosa, followed by further editing by Rabbi Maimonides, created a situation where instead of the original text of Aristotle, the commentary of Averroes was studied (Averroism); the situation was so confused that the Edit of Paris (1210), which forbade the study of Aristotle, came as no surprise. 

Aristotle's legacy, refined by the efforts of Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas, who commissioned William of Moerbeke to make a new translation directly from the Greek manuscripts, was later rediscovered in the original meaning of the Greek philosopher; the concept of person as relationship gives the title to this lecture.

Effet de la dette publique extérieure sur la croissance économique dans les pays à revenu faible :  Cas de la Centrafrique avec une Analyse empirique à travers le modèle économétrique ECM ; de 1970 à 2021

description: Dans cette recherche nous analysons les effets de la dette extérieure sur la croissance économique en général, et en particulier sur la croissance économique des pays au revenu faible. Nous avons choisi le cas de la Centrafrique. Nous avons appliqué, le modèle de correction d'erreur (MCE) sur les données chronologiques annuelles de 1970 à 2021. Le résultat de la recherche indique que le stock de la dette exerce un impact négatif et significatif sur la croissance économique tant à long terme qu'à court terme. Fragilisée par la crise sociopolitique, l’économie centrafricaine affiche aujourd’hui une faible capacité de remboursement de sa dette publique. Les emprunts extérieurs contribuent peu à la croissance économique voire la réduisent. Aussi, leur remboursement réduit les ressources financières disponibles, contraignant ainsi l’État à réduire le volume et la qualité des investissements nécessaires à l’expansion de la production. Aussi nous proposons d'une part, l’adoption d’une bonne politique de relance et d’accélération de la croissance économique. Pour ce faire, il serait judicieux de recourir à un endettement intérieur axé sur le financement des projets productifs ; d'autre part, il faut que l'état centrafricain négocie avec les bailleurs pour l’allégement du service de la dette extérieure.

Οποιαδήποτε επαγγελματική δραστηριότητα, η οποία δεν έχει ψηφιακή παρουσία, είναι καταδικασμένη να μείνει στην αφάνεια με αποτέλεσμα την οριστική διακοπή της εφόσον δεν παράγει πλούτο. Είναι πλέον βέβαιο ότι στην σημερινή ανταγωνιστική αγορά θα επικρατήσουν εκείνοι οι οποίοι έχουν επενδύσει στον ψηφιακό τους εκσυγχρονισμό. Στην οικονομική ορολογία αυτό το φαινόμενο ονομάζεται δημιουργική καταστροφή. Για να επιβιώσουν, δηλαδή, οι σύγχρονες επιχειρήσεις πρέπει να επενδύσουν σε ψηφιακά συστήματα προβολής, οργάνωσης και διοίκησης. Σε αυτή τη διπλωματική εργασία θα αναπτυχθούν οι βασικές αρχές για τον σχεδιασμό, την υλοποίηση και τη συντήρηση πληροφοριακών συστημάτων (IT Infrastructure).

description: To provide consumers with a channel to interact directly with service retailers, some service platforms have allowed consumers to incentivize service retailers for better service via tipping. There are pros and cons of allowing and not allowing tipping in terms of service levels and costs, which can affect consumer utility and platform profitability. By developing a game-theoretic model, we analyze the tipping strategy choices of platforms under competition. We find that when the service ability of service retailers is high, platforms with service retailer pricing should allow tipping, whereas for at least one platform with platform pricing, they should allow it only when the commission rate is also high. Interestingly, if consumers are concerned about service levels in addition to service prices during tipping, for platforms with platform pricing, only one platform should allow tipping when the service ability is medium. However, when the service ability is low or when the sensitiveness of the service level to tips exceeds the threshold, neither platform should allow tipping, regardless of pricing models. Finally, an all-win outcome for service platforms, service retailers, and consumers may be achieved only when platforms adopt different pricing models.

description: Bei Kindern im Autismus Spektrum wird häufig beobachtet, dass sie bestimmte Nahrungsmittel verweigern und ein eingeschränktes Nahrungsmittelrepertoire haben. Die vorliegende Arbeit setzt sich mit der Frage auseinander, wie die beschriebene Nahrungsmittelselektivität im Kontext Autismus aus familiärer, heilpädagogischer und medizinischer Sicht wahrgenommen wird. Es wurden Interviews mit vier Fachpersonen und einem Elternteil durchgeführt und mittels qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet. Die Beschreibung des Erscheinungsbildes zeigt die Individualität bei der Nahrungsaufnahme und deren Auswirkungen auf die Gesundheit auf. Im Weiteren scheinen diese Verhaltensweisen ein zentrales Merkmal von Autismus zu sein. Die Fachpersonen sind sich den Ernährungsproblemen bei Kindern im Autismus Spektrum bewusst und versuchen die Eltern und die Kinder gezielt zu beraten und zu unterstützen.

description: Propolis is a beehive product produced from honeybees by mixing β-glycosidase enzyme and beeswax with exudate collected from plant resins. The main goal of this study was to investigate the phytochemical potential and GC–MS profiling of the main constituents of propolis. The antioxidant activity was assessed by using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assay, total phenolic content and total flavonoid content were analysed by Folin-Ciocalteu reagent method and aluminium chloride method respectively. Methanolic extract exhibited highest antioxidant activities, ethanolic extract had the highest total phenolic content, and maximum amount of flavonoid was observed in the chloroform extract. GC–MS analysis revealed the presence of flavonoids, fatty acids and phenolic compounds. Results revealed that propolis from Derra Bassi can be used as natural antioxidant, also extracting solvents had a significant impact on the phytochemical activities and with its standardisation can be used for prevention of diseases related with free radicals.

description: Bei der Integration von Kindern mit kognitiver Beeinträchtigung in der Regelschule stellen sich in Bezug auf Mathematikunterricht viele Fragen. Lange Zeit herrschte in der Fachdidaktik Mathematik im Förderschwerpunkt geistige Entwicklung (FgE) das Voraussetzungsverhältnis Pränumerik-Numerik, das zum Teil von der kognitiven Entwicklungstheorie von Piaget geprägt wurde.Die anschlussfähige Mathematikdidaktik im FgE nimmt die fachlichen und prozessbezogenen Kompetenzen der Bildungsstandards in den Blick und schafft mit dem Erwerb von numerischen Kompetenzen schon im frühen Kindesalter eine gute Basis für die weitere Entwicklung von Rechenkompetenzen im Schulalter. Inklusive Fachdidaktik ist gerade für den FgE ein entscheidender Gelingensfaktor.Im Rahmer der Aktionsforschung in der eigenen Praxis wurde die Entwicklung von numerischen Basiskompetenzen im Bereich „Zahl und Variable“ während des ersten Schuljahres überprüft und evaluiert. Entstanden ist ein digitales Produkt mit fünf substanziellen Lernumgebungen zu den numerischen Basiskompetenzen.

description: Das Fähigkeitsselbstkonzept gilt als wichtiger Einflussfaktor auf Schulleistungen. Die Anwendung der individuellen Bezugsnorm im Unterricht trägt zur Förderung dieses Konzepts bei. Auch Lerncoaching werden positive Effekte darauf zugesprochen. Die vorliegende Arbeit fragt, inwiefern Lerncoaching eine Verstärkung der individuellen Bezugsnorm im Unterricht hervorbringen und dadurch das Fähigkeitsselbstkonzept von Schüler_innen beeinflussen kann.Durch die Analyse zweier qualitativer Interviews mit lerncoachenden Lehrpersonen zeigt die Studie auf, dass in Lerncoachinggesprächen das Spiegeln des persönlichen Lernfortschritts und das Vornehmen von intraindividuellen Vergleichen zentral sind und dass Lerncoaching eine Basis für einen individuellen und adaptiven Unterricht darstellt. Folglich lässt sich eine positive Beeinflussung des Fähigkeitsselbstkonzepts durch Lerncoaching vermuten.

description: Abstract

This article presents a system literature review that aims to analyze the impact of environmental damage caused by the lack of campus Green Open Space (GOS) that meets sustainable standards on environmental quality and the welfare of the campus community. Furthermore, this article discusses the impact of the lack of campus green spaces that do not meet sustainable standards on the future of the campus environment. Finally, this article explains how official policies in developing sustainable campus green spaces can influence environmental conservation efforts in the campus environment and its surroundings. The results of this study found that the impact of the lack of GOS on the campus environment includes a decrease in air quality, an increase in air temperature, and the risk of flooding, which can be detrimental to the campus environment. In addition, the negative impacts extend to people's well-being by affecting mental, emotional, and physical aspects, increasing the risk of disease, and lowering the overall quality of life. Sustainable practice initiatives, campus assessments, and policy implementation can positively impact students and create an environment that supports well-being.

description: The asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the universe remains one of the most significant unresolved problems in modern physics. While the Standard Model successfully explains particle interactions, it fails to account for the baryon asymmetry observed today. This paper introduces the concept of an "anti-Higgs" boson, a complementary scalar field to the Standard Model Higgs boson, as a potential mechanism to generate this asymmetry. Through modifications to the Standard Model Lagrangian, we explore the theoretical framework of the anti-Higgs, its implications for symmetry breaking, and the introduction of CP-violating interactions. Additionally, we derive cosmological implications, including its role in baryogenesis and leptogenesis, and provide predictions for collider experiments. Simulations of equilibrium dynamics and production processes are presented, offering testable hypotheses for current and future experiments. This work establishes a bridge between cosmology and particle physics, highlighting the anti-Higgs as a candidate for extending the Standard Model.

The project was funded by the Ministry ofBusiness, Innovation & Employment (MBIE) Extreme Weather Recovery Advice Fund. The report provides a ‘cookbook’ of the various methods and frameworks that are commonly used both internationally and within Aotearoa New Zealand to account for direct, indirect and intangible flood costs to support business-case development for flood mitigation in Aotearoa New Zealand. It highlights that most estimates only capture direct, insured, damages, potentially under-estimating the full economic and social costs, and discusses the challenges of quantifying indirect and intangible losses, including social and cultural impacts and data-accessibility issues. A case-study application of the April 2017 Edgecumbe Flood is also presented to demonstrate the data requirements and aspects of modelling to estimate some indirect and intangible costs relating to housing and habitability. The summary herein is presented in reverse order of the report sections so that key findings from the review of methods and results for measuring intangible losses is presented first, as this was of most interest to Greater Wellington Regional Council and the River Managers’ SIG.

description: Abstract

Introduction: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA), commonly known as male pattern baldness, affects a significant portion of the male population worldwide. While primarily characterized by hair loss, AGA's impact extends beyond the physical realm, influencing various psychosocial aspects of individuals' lives. Despite its prevalence and impact, there remains a gap in understanding the full scope of the psychosocial implications experienced by male patients with AGA. Therefore, this study aims to investigate and analyze the psychosocial impact of AGA on male patients, shedding light on the emotional, social, and psychological dimensions affected by this condition. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted in the Department of Dermatology at Saveetha Medical College. A total of 75 male patients diagnosed with AGA were included in the study. Participants underwent a comprehensive assessment, including a detailed medical history, clinical examination, and staging of the disease using the Norwood–Hamilton Baldness Scale. A questionnaire was administered online to assess the psychosocial impact of AGA on various aspects of participants' lives. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were employed for data analysis. Results: The study revealed a diverse demographic profile of participants, with varying degrees of AGA severity and educational backgrounds. Emotional distress, functional challenges, negative social perceptions, and diverse management strategies characterized the experiences of individuals affected by AGA. AGA severity and self-esteem emerged as significant predictors of psychosocial impact. Higher AGA severity was associated with lower self-esteem and heightened psychosocial impact. Conclusion: This study contributes to a better understanding of the psychosocial implications of AGA on male patients. By acknowledging and addressing the emotional, functional, and social ramifications of AGA, healthcare professionals can enhance patient care and promote resilience among affected individuals. Tailored interventions addressing AGA severity and self-esteem can mitigate the negative psychosocial consequences of the condition, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

description: The principal contribution of this thesis is the development of an object-oriented method with supporting software for evolving and evaluating object-oriented design metric models. Called PROOF, it combines and improves on existing individually inadequate methods by using underlying concepts of recent object-oriented system lifecycle models and software construction principles. PROOF is grounded in a formal model of object-orientation, and an object-oriented metric model which provides mechanisms for explicit elicitation of the essential elements of a well-formed metric model, and embodies this knowledge as reusable operational components. We claim that PROOF is an advance on alternative metric modeling methods. It provides guiding support mechanisms for defining goals and transforming them into well-formed op­erational object-oriented design metric models, for theoretical and empirical evaluation, for feedback, learning and improvement, and for storing, applying, and reusing object-oriented design metric models. The necessary technology for organisations to evolve, evaluate, and apply object-oriented design metric models to implement an iterative quality refining pro­cess, and reach the optimising level (level 5) of the CMM process maturity levels has been embodied within PROOF. We substantiate the claims of PROOF by evaluating various well referenced existing object-oriented design metric models to highlight their deficiencies. PROOF is then used to evolve new metric models which solve the inherent problems of the original models.
