Cross-national Comparison of the Impact of Children on Adult Time
Creators: name: Craig, Lyn
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 2005

description: This paper uses a framework of welfare state typology pioneered by Gosta Esping-Andersen and developed by Walter Korpi, and data from the Multinational Time Use World 5 Series, to compare the impact of children on adult time-use in four countries (Australia, Italy, Norway and Germany) with different approaches to economic, social and family organisation. It quantifies three measures of the time effects of parenthood. These are 1) the gap between couple parents and non-parents in total paid and unpaid work undertaken (the workload penalty of parenthood), 2) the relative time allocation to paid and unpaid work by couple parents and by non-parents (work-family balance), and 3) the relative contribution to unpaid work by couple parents and by non-parents (gender equity in domestic labour). Of the sample, ‘familialistic’ Italy has the most inequitable division of labour for childless men and women, and it is ‘liberal’ Australia in which the changes in time commitment that come with parenthood are most pronounced and most inequitable by sex.

description: Considerando as mudanças que a evolução tecnológica tem provocado no sistema educativo e não podendo as Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) ser desvinculadas das práticas pedagógicas adotadas com os alunos cegos e com baixa visão, para o estudo e compreensão desta realidade, é fundamental aferir a opinião dos profissionais que trabalham diariamente em prol do processo educativo destes alunos com necessidades educativas especiais. Este estudo, de natureza predominantemente quantitativa, pretende analisar a perceção dos docentes que lecionam alunos com deficiência visual, do 2.º e 3.º ciclos do ensino básico e do ensino secundário, nas escolas de referência para a educação de alunos cegos e com baixa visão, em Portugal Continental, sobre os seus conhecimentos, práticas pedagógicas e formação na área das TIC, visando o ensino e aprendizagem dos mesmos. Os resultados revelam uma amostra confiante nas suas capacidades tecnológicas, contudo com manifestas lacunas no que diz respeito ao conhecimento e desenvoltura em algumas ferramentas e aplicações informáticas específicas para a área da deficiência visual. Uma outra constatação é o facto de a falta de formação específica ser o principal obstáculo considerado pelos docentes no que respeita a uma real integração das TIC no processo educativo destes alunos.

description: Firms, governance and development in industrial districts. Regional Studies. This paper explores the link between local governance structures and the ability of local firms to influence the strategic direction (and future development) of their industrial district. In doing so, it utilizes unique survey data from two British industrial districts to examine, first, the extent to which local firms shape local industrial development strategies and, second, the institutional conduits through which their influence is exercised. The empirical results suggest a role for (local) business associations, the building of reciprocal networks among firms, social capital and more heterarchical governance structures to enhance firm engagement in local initiatives and industrial development.

description: In this letter, we investigate cosmology within the framework of modified $f(Q, L_m)$ gravity using the non-linear model $f(Q, L_m) = -Q + αL_m^n + β$, where $α$, $β$, and $n$ are free parameters. The modified Friedmann equations are derived for a matter-dominated universe, and an analytical solution is obtained. Using Hubble, Pantheon+, and joint datasets, we constrain the model parameters and examine their implications. The results indicate that the model accommodates varying $H_0$ values, contributing to the Hubble tension, while $n \neq 1$ suggests deviations from general relativity (GR). The deceleration parameter confirms a transition to acceleration at $z_t \approx 0.6 - 0.8$, with present values supporting cosmic acceleration. This model offers a viable alternative to GR-based cosmology.

description: Last summer twenty students from the University of Edinburgh travelled to Germany for a project to help the integration of refugees. Recognising the importance of language in order to integrate, we led a summer school for children in order to maintain and develop their German whilst they were not at school over the summer holidays. We also attended a local refugee café where refugees came to meet others in a similar situation to them and locals who were offering advice. Here several languages could be heard, using any means to communicate and interact with each other. During our time there we experienced ourselves some of the challenges of integration. Whilst living in a German village we had to support each other with our range of language abilities just as we had seen happening in the summer school and at the refugee café.

description: In this article, we discuss the context, key features and vision of Utah’s dual language immersion (DLI) programme. Students in this programme spend half of the school day learning subject matter in English, and the other half learning in a target language. Utah’s DLI programme started in 2009 with 25 elementary schools and three target languages (Chinese, French and Spanish) and is supported by legislative funding. In the autumn of 2017, 200 schools in 22 districts across the state will offer dual language immersion in Chinese, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, and for the first time Russian. Schools and districts that participate in dual language immersion commit to implementation that complies with the state model. We explain the model’s key features and discuss the central role of collaboration between public and higher education to realise the vision of articulated language education.

description: Genetically modified food is becoming one of the greatest concerns in agriculture, especially owing to the continuously growing diversity of genetic modifications (GM), which is directly contributing to the difficulty of their monitoring and detection. Long-term impacts on human health and environment are yet to be revealed but recent research efforts indicate possible harmful effects. The aim of this study was to compare two approaches of GM detection: a naked eye detection via colorimetric LAMP method and a fluorescence-based Real-Time LAMP method. In order to imitate GMO samples, we prepared soybean leaf and seed gDNA spiked with gBlocks (P-35S and P-FMV elements which are most commonly included in transgenic constructs of GM plants). Additionally, we analyzed how different approaches for soybean gDNA isolation, i.e. robust Chelex-based method applicable in PON settings and a kit-based isolation suitable for laboratory conditions, influence LAMP amplification dynamics. There were no observable differences related to DNA isolation method in case of colorimetric LAMP, whereas Real-Time LAMP showed evidently faster amplification for DNA samples isolated with a commercial kit. Both LAMP approaches showed success in detection of GM for the threshold of 0.001 ng/μl of gBlocks in 1 ng/μl of total gDNA. We determined the same LOD for both Colorimetric and Real-Time LAMP methodologies, but this limit can be significantly enhanced in case of Real-Time LAMP, since this method has great potential for integration in biosensors with different signal readout systems (e.g. electrochemical or MXene-based). These results indicate the supremacy of Real-Time LAMP over colorimetric LAMP in terms of better insight into result accuracy and better reliability.

description: This paper provides an overview of the MEITS (Multilingualism: Empowering Individuals, Transforming Societies) project, led by the University of Cambridge and its partner institutions: University of Edinburgh, University of Nottingham, and Queen’s University Belfast. It is funded under the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Open World Research Initiative (OWRI). The project commenced on July 1st, 2016, and is due to run until 30th June, 2020: at this early stage, the MEITS team is seeking to make relevant stakeholders aware of the rationale and need for the project, the varied array of methodological approaches, and the planned real-world impact. Of particular interest to this readership is that the project is a response to the decline of foreign language learning in the United Kingdom (and other Anglophone countries), attitudes towards and beliefs about multilingualism generally, and wider questions of language policy in the United Kingdom and beyond.
Who Benefits? The Australian Welfare State and Redistribution
Creators: name: Harding, Ann
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 1984
Subjects: Income Distribution
Welfare State
Australian

description: Income distribution is a key element in any approach to social policy, and as such is an important subject for consideration within the Social Welfare Research Centre. Ann Harding addresses issues in income distribution by pointing out that many branches of economic and social theory stress the supposedly distributive character as a key component of the rationale for government intervention in the economy. In Australia, both major political parties express commitment to redistribution in favour of low income and other disadvantaged groups. There are however, two bodies of opinion on this issue: one, which attempts to demonstrate that such distribution does, in fact, take place; the other, that the redistributive effects of government policies are negligible and, as far as taxation is concerned, the system actually redistributes in favour of the rich. As a test of these divergent views, Harding compares the data from the Household Expenditure Survey carried out by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in 1975-76 with the Commonwealth Government1s taxation review and social expenditure for the same year. She also refers to the changes that took place in government policy from 1975-76 to 1981-82. An important feature of the study is Harding’s methodology. She points out the distinction between distribution in absolute terms and incidence of expenditure related to each group of recipients' original share of income, and demonstrates through systematic comparison of data that each approach leads to different interpretations and conclusions. Harding’s analysis shows that, if measured as incidence, the overall effect of government policy in 1975-76 was a redistribution in favour of low income groups, but redistribution was not equal in all areas. The most pronounced effect was in pensions and benefits and in public housing; the lowest was in education and health. The distributive effect of taxation was negligible, because the progressive effect of income tax was reduced by the regressive nature of indirect taxes, rebates and concessions.

description: This article uses data from a small scale research which explored modern language learning in a mainstream school in England. The focus is on the position accorded to modern languages in school in comparison to other school subjects. The research was carried out at the time when plans were being put in place for modern languages to be part of the primary curriculum in England. Drawing on qualitative data from fieldnotes, this article discusses differences, in terms of status, that exist among school subjects at the school in question. The author demonstrates the ways in which modern languages are put at a disadvantage in a number of contexts arising in the main, from pre-conceived beliefs and expectations by parents and senior managers.

Employment

description: The Australian social security system has been largely founded on a single male breadwinner model. This is particularly clear in the case of the eligibility and entitlement rules for the Wife Pension which is currently paid to women whose partners are receiving a Disability Support Pension. The employment patterns of the wives, however, can affect the living standards of these couples. Against this background, in 1993 the Department of Social Security commissioned the Social Policy Research Centre to conduct a study into the labour market circumstances of the wives of Disability Support Pension recipients. A key goal of the study was to investigate the factors which affect the labour market decisions made by these women. The survey on which this publication is based was undertaken by experienced interviewers from the Centre in late 1993. The labour force histories and the attitudes of the women themselves form the main part of the report.

description: Kojic acid is a polyfunctional heterocyclic compound, with several important reaction centres; it has a wide range of applications in the cosmetic, medicine, food, agriculture and chemical industries. The present study aims at better insight into its electronic structure and bonding characteristics. Thus, density functional theory at the M06-2x /6-311++G** level of theory is used to investigate its ground state electronic and acid–base properties. Protonation and deprotonation enthalpies are computed and analysed. The ability of Kojic acid to form both water complexes and dimers is explored. Several different complexes and dimer structures were examined. Natural bond order and quantum topology features of the charge density were analysed. The origin of the stability of the studied complexes and dimer structures can be traced to hydrogen bonding, π-conjugative and non-covalent dispersive interactions.

description: Biodegradability is a key factor to describe the long-time effects of chemicals to be decomposed in the environment. Compared with time-consuming and laborious experimental testing, the use of in silico approaches for assessing chemical biodegradability is highly encouraged by the legislators. In this study, based on an extensive data-set with 547 ready biodegradation (RB) and 1178 non-ready biodegradation (NRB) chemicals, we first examined the differences of the important physico-chemical properties and scaffold architectures between the RB and NRB molecules. We found that compared with the NRB molecules, the RB molecules are usually smaller, more flexible and hydrophilic, and have less polar groups and more complicated structural patterns (ring systems). However, the RB and NRB molecules cannot be well distinguished by any simple property-based or substructure-based rules. Then, the naïve Bayesian classification (NBC) approach was employed to develop classifiers for discriminating the RB and NRB molecules. Based on the 21 physico-chemical properties, 76 VolSurf descriptors and LPFP_4 structural fingerprints, the Bayesian classifier can achieve a sensitivity of 0.877, a specificity of 0.864, a global accuracy of 0.869, a C value of 0.720 and a AUC value of 0.890 for the training set. Besides, the best predictions can be achieved for the classifiers based on the combinations of simple physico-chemical properties, VolSurf descriptors, and LPFP_6 fingerprints for the test set I (AUC = 0.921), and any of the three fingerprint classes (ECFC_6, ECFC_8 or LPFC_4) for the test set II (AUC = 0.901). In addition, 20 structural fragments favourable and unfavourable for ready biodegradation, which were directly generated from the best naive Bayesian classifier, were highlighted and discussed. The results provide useful guidelines/tools for designing promising chemical compounds with good chemical biodegradability.

description: The influence of ring puckering angle on the multipole moments of sixteen four-membered heterocycles (1-16) was theoretically estimated using MP2 and different DFTs in combination with the 6-31+G(d,p) basis set. To obtain an accurate evaluation, CCSD/cc-pVDZ level and, the MP2 and PBE1PBE methods in combination with the aug-cc-pVDZ and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets were performed on the planar geometries of 1-16. In general, the DFT and MP2 approaches provided an identical dependence of the electrical properties with the puckering angle for 1-16. Quantitatively, the quality of the level of theory and basis sets affects significant the predictions of the multipole moments, in particular for the heterocycles containing C=O and C=S bonds. Convergence basis sets within the MP2 and PBE1PBE approximations are reached in the dipole moment calculations when the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set is used, while the quadrupole and octupole moment computations require a larger basis set than aug-cc-pVTZ. On the other hand, the multipole moments showed a strong dependence with the molecular geometry and the nature of the carbon-heteroatom bonds. Specifically, the C-X bond determines the behavior of the μ(ϕ), θ(ϕ) and Ώ(ϕ) functions, while the C=Y bond plays an important role in the magnitude of the studied properties.
The Revival of Social Justice

description: The Marg Barry Memorial Lecture celebrates the contribution of a woman for whom social justice was integral and essential to good social arrangements. Social Justice disappeared almost entirely from Australian public life and discourse between 1995 and 2007. This also marked an increase in income inequality, and increased disadvantage and exclusion for those experiencing multiple difficulties in their lives. Not only is this morally repugnant but this growing inequality meant worse social and health outcomes for everyone. Evidence has been accumulating that societies with institutional social justice arrangements do better for everyone, including the wealthy, than those rewarding the growth in the gap between rich and poor. Although the Rudd government once again embraced the notion of fairness in the form of social inclusion, the revival of social justice, that is ensuring systemic and structural social arrangements to improve equality, as a core political and social value, should be a goal for us all.

description: Despite the various research efforts toward the treatment of stress-related disorders, the drug has not yet launched last 20 years. Corticotropin releasing factor-1 receptor antagonists have been point of great interest in stress-related disorders. In the present study, we have selected benzazole scaffold-based compounds as corticotropin releasing factor-1 antagonists and performed 2D and 3D QSAR studies to identify the structural features to elucidating the binding mechanism prediction. The best 2D QSAR model was obtained through multiple linear regression method with r 2 value of .7390, q 2 value of .5136 and pred_r 2 (predicted square correlation coefficient) value of .88. The contribution of 2D descriptor, T_2_C_1 was 60% (negative contribution) and 4pathClusterCount was 40.24% (positive contribution) in enhancing the activity. Also 3D QSAR model was statistically significant with q 2 value of .9419 and q 2_se (standard error of internal validation) value of .19. Statistical parameters results prove the robustness and significance of both models. Further, molecular docking and pharmacokinetic analysis was performed to explore the scope of investigation. Docking results revealed that the all benzazole compounds show hydrogen bonding with residue Asn283 and having same hydrophobic pocket (Phe286, Leu213, Ile290, Leu287, Phe207, Arg165, Leu323, Tyr327, Phe284, and Met206). Compound B14 has higher activity compare to reference molecules. Most of the compounds were found within acceptable range for pharmacokinetic parameters. This work provides the extremely useful leads for structural substituents essential for benzimidazole moiety to exhibit antagonistic activity against corticotropin releasing factor-1 receptors.

description: In this study, we investigated the responses of Phaeodactylum tricornutum cells acclimated to 300 µmol m−2 s−1 photon flux density to an increase (1000 µmol m−2 s−1) or decrease (30 µmol m−2 s−1) photon flux densities. The light shift occurred abruptly after 5 days of growth and the acclimation to new conditions was followed during the next 6 days at the physiological and molecular levels. The molecular data reflect a rearrangement of carbon metabolism towards the production of PEP and/or pyruvate. These intermediates were used differently by the cell as a function of the photon flux density: under low light, the photosynthesis was depressed while respiration was increased. Under high light, lipids and proteins accumulated. Of great interest, under high light, the genes coding for the synthesis of aromatic amino acids and phenolic compounds were upregulated suggesting that the Shikimate pathway was activated.This article is part of the themed issue ‘The peculiar carbon metabolism in diatoms’.

description: Tem vindo a crescer no seio da população portuguesa a implementação de iniciativas que potenciam e valorizam a aprendizagem ao longo da vida, dando-se cada vez mais ênfase à importância de disseminar acções que permitam ao adulto aderir a oportunidades formativas, mas também iniciativas que permitam reconhecer as competências que os adultos adquiriram ao longo da vida. Algumas investigações sugerem que destes processos emergem mais valias de cariz pessoal para o adulto. Neste contexto, e partindo da experiência do Centro de Reconhecimento, Validação, Certificação de Competências "Rumo aos Saberes", da CerciPeniche, considerou-se pertinente investigar a relação entre o processo de RVCC e a auto-estima dos adultos. Com uma amostra de 38 adultos e recorrendo a uma metodologia quantitativa, pôde verificar-se um impacto favorável na auto-estima dos adultos que frequentam o CRVCC "Rumo aos Saberes''. Este aumento na auto-estima ocorre sobretudo no momento da sessão de júri de validação, ou seja, no momento em que o reconhecimento formal das competências ocorre.

description: Many marine invertebrates provide their offspring with symbionts. Yet, the consequences of maternally inherited symbionts on larval fitness remain largely unexplored. In the stony coral Favia fragum (Esper 1797), mothers produce larvae with highly variable amounts of endosymbiotic algae and we examined the implications of this variation in symbiont density on the performance of F. fragum larvae under different environmental scenarios. High symbiont densities prolonged the period that larvae actively swam and searched for suitable settlement habitats. Thermal stress reduced survival and settlement success in F. fragum larvae, whereby larvae with high symbiont densities suffered more from non-lethal stress and were five times more likely to die compared with larvae with low symbiont densities. These results show that maternally inherited algal symbionts can be either beneficial or harmful to coral larvae depending on the environmental conditions at hand, and suggest that F. fragum mothers use a bet-hedging strategy to minimize risks associated with spatio-temporal variability in their offspring's environment.

An Ever-Rising Tide? Poverty in Australia in the Eighties

description: As in many other countries, the eighties have seen the re-emergence of poverty as a political issue in Australia. Rising unemployment and the increased incidence of sole parenthood have put more children at risk of poverty, a development which has prompted increased policy concern. This paper presents estimates of the incidence and structure of poverty in Australia in 1981-82, 1985-86 and 1989-90, using the poverty standard developed by the Poverty Commission in the seventies. The estimates for 1989-90 are based on data generated from the 1986 Income Distribution Survey by a microsimulation model that allows for trends in demographic change, labour market participation and income during the second half of the eighties. The results indicate that the overall poverty rate has increased from 9.2 per cent in 1981-82 to 12.8 per cent in 1989-90. This is despite the fact that the incomes of many low income groups have increased in real terms, in many cases substantially. The reason for this apparent paradox is that the poverty standard is a relative one, and has thus itself been increased in line with average community incomes. One of the conclusions of the paper is that it may be necessary to reconsider the use of a relative poverty standard when assessing short-run trends in the extent of poverty.

Liderança transformacional nas escolas estatais e privadas. Um olhar centrado nas percepções dos professores
Creators: name: Cunha, Daniela

Publisher: name: Revista Portuguesa de Investigação Educacional
Year: 2008

description: Neste trabalho procura-se perceber a incidência de lideranças transformacionais em algumas escolas, atenta a correlação positiva entre a abordagem transformacional da liderança e o desempenho organizacional. A riqueza e a especificidade da instituição escolar familiarizam-se com estilos de liderança não exclusivos do cenário educacional, numa perspectiva de melhoria através da consolidação da cultura organizacional da escola. Cruzando estas tendências com a questão de fundo da autonomia em contexto das políticas educativas nacionais, comparam-se os sectores estatal e privado da educação. Após uma breve incursão nas características dos órgãos de direcção e de gestão das escolas, exploram-se eventuais constrangimentos ao exercício da liderança dos directores escolares, ao que não é alheia a ideia de que, dada a sua essência, a liderança transformacional encontrará nas escolas privadas um enquadramento mais favorável.

Year: 2008

description: Este artigo baseia-se numa investigação realizada no âmbito de uma dissertação de Mestrado em Ciências da Educação, especialização em Administração e Organização Escolar, concluída em 2007 na Universidade Católica Portuguesa. O objectivo principal da investigação foi compreender o modo como os alunos percepcionam e valorizam os líderes e os processos de liderança. Para a realização do estudo foi escolhida, intencionalmente, uma escola dos 2° e 3º ciclos do ensino básico, com base em critérios, como a sua inserção num contexto socioeconómico desafiante para os líderes escolares; a existência de indicadores de sucesso, por exemplo, os resultados dos alunos e a imagem pública da escola; e a permanência no exercício do cargo, especialmente por parte do presidente do Conselho Executivo. A abordagem teórica desenvolve-se em torno dos conceitos de organização e de liderança, salientando-se as perspectivas focalizadas nas pessoas, na participação e, particularmente, na promoção do bem-estar e das aprendizagens dos alunos. Na vertente empírica, os dados foram recolhidos junto de três grupos de alunos pertencentes a diferentes anos e turmas do 3º ciclo do ensino básico, os quais expressaram, de diferentes formas, as suas perspectivas sobre a liderança da escola. A análise das perspectivas dos alunos permitiu identificar relações entre os processos organizacionais, as interacções entre os membros da escola, os estilos de liderança e, especificamente, o carácter emocional da liderança e a sua influência na vida da escola.
