Sociabilidades e espiritualidades na Idade Média: a historiografia portuguesa sobre os comportamentos religiosos dos leigos medievais
Creators: name: Rosa, Maria De Lurdes
Publisher: name: Lusitania Sacra
Year: 2009

description: O artigo tem como objetivo caracterizar os principais grupos temáticos da medievalística portuguesa sobre o tema “Sociabilidades e espiritualidades na Idade Média: comportamentos religiosos dos leigos medievais”, discutindo tanto o porquê da existência dos mesmos, como as suas forças e fraquezas. Ao mesmo tempo, procurar-se-á apresentar trabalhos em áreas similares, mas oriundos de outras historiografias, sugerindo formas de aproximação entre ambos. A ideia central do trabalho é que urge definir, na medievalística portuguesa, um inquérito específico sobre o tema, que conduza à interrogação das próprias fontes usadas – que, desde logo, raramente são produzidas pelos leigos –, ao estabelecimento de conceitos de análise corretos e à perceção global das funções sociais globais das várias partes que constituíam a religiosidade dos leigos.

The rhetoric in human security in the 21st century : the case of Boko Haram in Nigeria
Creators: name: Ackah-Arthur, Jemima
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Since the end of the Cold War, new notions on international security have arisen that suggest that the concept has evolved to include the security of individuals. However, the more traditional concept of international security as pertaining primarily to the security of states remains applicable to many current security crises. This thesis substantiates this argument by examining the international reactions to Nigeria’s Boko Haram security issue. This thesis finds that other states responded to the Boko Haram threat only when it extended beyond Nigeria to neighbouring states including Chad, Cameroun and Niger. The Boko Haram security threat was recognized as a common security threat when it began to affect Cameroun in particular. Therefore, this thesis argues that states likely respond to an existing security threat when it begins to endanger individual national territories. They acknowledge an existing security issue as a common security threat only when it extends beyond a single state into at least one foreign territory. The concept of human security in international security is therefore lacking adequate utilization during security crises and its correct application must be a strong focus within international security literature and policy.

description: The large amount of data on galaxies, up to higher and higher redshifts, asks for sophisticated statistical approaches to build adequate classifications. Multivariate cluster analyses, that compare objects for their global similarities, are still confidential in astrophysics, probably because their results are somewhat difficult to interpret. We believe that the missing key is the unavoidable characteristics in our Universe: evolution. Our approach, known as Astrocladistics, is based on the evolutionary nature of both galaxies and their properties. It gathers objects according to their "histories" and establishes an evolutionary scenario among groups of objects. In this presentation, I show two recent results on globular clusters and earlytype galaxies to illustrate how the evolutionary concepts of Astrocladistics can also be useful for multivariate analyses such as K-means Cluster Analysis.

description: Background: High quality tertiary teaching is important for maximising the impact of tertiary education for students, employers and society, as well as for institutional reputation and accountability. Varied interpretations exist regarding what counts as ‘innovative’ tertiary teaching. Purpose: This study sought to explore the deeper drivers of motivations of tertiary educators to initiate and implement teaching innovations. Method: Drawing from the data from semi-structured interviews from a wider study into innovative teaching in a tertiary education institution in Aotearoa New Zealand, we analysed the rationale of 13 expert tertiary educators for teaching in novel ways. The framework for analysis was based on Self-Determination Theory: data were analysed in relation to three basic psychological needs known to impact on motivation and wellbeing–competence, autonomy and relatedness. Findings: Our analysis suggests that tertiary educator motivation to innovate in their teaching is related to feelings of all three needs. Findings suggest that innovative pedagogical change was linked to educators’ need for feelings of competence in relation to subject area content, pedagogy and developing student competence. Enhancing autonomy for the educators themselves, or for their students, was also an important factor motivating innovative practice. Developing relatedness between students, between themselves and students, and between students and society were reported as motivations for innovative teaching. Some teaching innovations were motivated by the educator’s desire for greater personal or student wellbeing. Conclusions Educators’ motivations for being innovative in their tertiary pedagogical practice encompassed content, pedagogical, personal and social dimensions. None reported that their innovation was motivated by institutional policy or expectations. The reported challenges to innovative teaching practice, including institutional structures and processes, lack of access to specific technologies, and the time needed to develop and implement changed practice, indicate that educators must be strongly committed to making change in their practice to sustain the effort required.
Effective test generation and adequacy assessment for Javascript-based web applications

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Today's modern Web applications rely heavily on JavaScript and client-side run-time manipulation of the DOM (Document Object Model) tree. One way to provide assurance about the correctness of such highly evolving and dynamic applications is through testing. However, JavaScript is loosely typed, dynamic, and notoriously challenging to analyze and test. The work presented in this dissertation has focused on advancing the state-of-the-art in testing JavaScript-based web applications by proposing a new set of techniques and tools. We proposed (1) a new automated technique for JavaScript regression testing, which is based on inferring invariant assertions, (2) the first JavaScript mutation testing tool, capable of guiding the mutation generation towards behaviour-affecting mutants in error-prone portions of the code, (3) an automatic technique to generate test cases for JavaScript functions and events; Mutation analysis is used to generate test oracles, capable of detecting regression JavaScript and DOM-level faults, and (4) utilizing existing DOM-dependent assertions as well as useful execution information inferred from a DOM-based test suite to automatically generate assertions for unit-level testing of JavaScript functions. To measure the effectiveness of the proposed approaches, we evaluated each method presented in this thesis by conducting various empirical studies and comparisons with existing testing techniques. The evaluation results point to the effectiveness of the proposed test generation and test assessment techniques in terms of accuracy and fault detection capability.

description: Quality teaching in higher education (HE) is gaining increasing international attention and pedagogical innovation is seen as an important construct of quality teaching. The drivers for pedagogical innovation include the need for 21st century skills and understandings, student demographics and empowerment, technological advances, and a turn to teaching in HE. Defining innovative pedagogies is a recurring challenge in the literature and a key focus of this article. Using an investigation into innovative approaches to teaching and learning at one New Zealand university, prevailing themes of newness, benefit, and student outcomes are discussed to develop a working definition. What is missing from the discourses and definitions is specific consideration of the influence of context on what counts as pedagogical innovation. In light of this, the authors offer an emergent definition of pedagogical innovation in higher education.

description: A Helly circular-arc model M = (C,A) is a circle C together with a Helly family \A of arcs of C. If no arc is contained in any other, then M is a proper Helly circular-arc model, if every arc has the same length, then M is a unit Helly circular-arc model, and if there are no two arcs covering the circle, then M is a normal Helly circular-arc model. A Helly (resp. proper Helly, unit Helly, normal Helly) circular-arc graph is the intersection graph of the arcs of a Helly (resp. proper Helly, unit Helly, normal Helly) circular-arc model. In this article we study these subclasses of Helly circular-arc graphs. We show natural generalizations of several properties of (proper) interval graphs that hold for some of these Helly circular-arc subclasses. Next, we describe characterizations for the subclasses of Helly circular-arc graphs, including forbidden induced subgraphs characterizations. These characterizations lead to efficient algorithms for recognizing graphs within these classes. Finally, we show how do these classes of graphs relate with straight and round digraphs.

title: Accelerating Development of Therapeutic Tuberculosis Vaccines Using an Ex Vivo Immune Assay Platform
Creators: name: Prabowo, SA
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 2019

description: Drug treatment and vaccination remain the main strategies to control tuberculosis (TB), which is the leading infectious cause of death globally. Lengthy treatment is often cited as a major obstacle towards improved control of TB. It has been proposed that a combination of TB vaccination with pharmacological treatment, termed therapeutic vaccination, may provide a greater therapeutic value. Several therapeutic TB vaccine candidates have been developed and are currently progressing in the pipeline. We hypothesise that an ex-vivo mycobacterial growth inhibition assay (MGIA) can be implemented to investigate and accelerate development of therapeutic vaccination strategies for TB, in the context of both human clinical and animal murine studies. This thesis describes for the first time, the combined effect of immunoprophylaxis by routine vaccination with Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) and chemotherapy using the ex vivo immune assay platform. The first research chapter of the thesis elaborates a proofof- principle study investigating the combined effect between historical BCG vaccination and two major first-line TB drugs (isoniazid and rifampicin), which is considered essential to further expedite the development of therapeutic vaccination strategies for TB. The second part of the thesis describes a study in which immunisation of mice with RUTI, a novel therapeutic TB vaccine candidate, was shown to enhance inhibition of mycobacterial growth ex vivo by inducing a shift of monocyte phenotype. We also investigated the effects of RUTI and BCG vaccination towards ex vivo drug-mediated killing in mice. The third research part of the thesis discusses the impact of individual-level factors on ex-vivo mycobacterial growth inhibition, specifically the influence of immune cell phenotype, cytomegalovirus-specific response and sex on immunity following BCG vaccination in humans. In the absence of an immune correlate of protection following TB vaccination, implementation of the ex vivo MGIA assay could be beneficial to screen TB vaccine candidates at early phases in order to prioritise which candidates should be tested with the available funding and field sites. Collectively, our findings support the implementation of MGIA as an effort to accelerate the development of therapeutic TB vaccines.

Switching linear parameter-varying electronic throttle control for automotive engines
Creators: name: Zandi Nia, Arman
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Modern automotive engines are mechanically mature technologies that have been significantly optimized to reduce harmful emissions, reduce fuel consumption, and improve driveablilty. Spark-ignition (SI) engines must operate under a stoichiometric air-to-fuel ratio that allows the three-way catalytic converter to effectively mitigate harmful tail-pipe emissions. Electronic throttle control (ETC) is the primary means of regulating the amount of charge-air entering the cylinders. This research studies the application of switching linear parameter-varying (LPV) feedback control techniques to the ETC problem. Electronic throttle valves are highly nonlinear systems due to their packaging, cost, and reliability constraints. The plant's dynamics vary considerably with respect to slip-stick friction, limp-home springs, and unmodeled disturbances. The complete plant model encapsulates the aforementioned nonlinear dynamics as a linear model that changes affinely with parameter-varying slip-stick friction and voltage fluctuation. The ETC synthesis problem is formulated as a linear matrix inequality as a non-convex optimization problem and solved via iterative methods. In previous literature pertaining to LPV controllers, large variations throughout the electronic throttle valve's operating region have led to conservative results. In this research, to reduce conservatism, the operating region has been partitioned into smaller subregions. Switching events between subregions are based on the scheduling-parameters of the LPV system, which are related to slip-stick friction and voltage fluctuation. The devised switching LPV controller is tuned and validated and its performance is experimentally compared with popular control solutions to the ETC problem. The baseline controllers include classic proportional-integral-derivative control, sliding-mode control, and gain-scheduling LPV control. Experimental results reveal that the switching LPV controller outperforms the baseline controllers throughout all the prescribed operating regions.

description: With a sample of (225.2\pm2.8)*10^{6} J/psi events registered in the BESIII detector, J/psi->gamma pi^+ pi^- eta' is studied using two eta' decay modes: eta'->pi^+ pi^- eta and eta' -> gamma rho^0. The X(1835), which was previously observed by BESII, is confirmed with a statistical significance that is larger than 20σ. In addition, in the pi^+pi^-eta' invariant mass spectrum, the X(2120) and the X(2370), are observed with statistical significances larger than 7.2σand 6.4σ, respectively. For the X(1835), the angular distribution of the radiative photon is consistent with expectations for a pseudoscalar.

description: International teaching experiences are increasingly being offered as an option in teacher education programs as a way of addressing goals related to internationalization such as developing intercultural competence and preparing teachers for “super-diversity” in education. However, there has also been some concern expressed that international teaching experiences may simply reinforce stereotypes and contribute to deficit thinking about diversity and difference. This article critically evaluates the literature relating to international teaching experiences, using postcolonial theory to interrogate the dominant discourses in this field. In particular, discourses of transformation, aid, and gratitude are prominent in the literature and their problematic nature and impact on developing equitable partnerships with host schools and institutions, and in terms of challenging and changing student teachers' intercultural competence is discussed. Drawing on studies that have taken a more critical approach, practices that can promote equitable partnerships and mutually beneficial experiences for both hosts and visitors are suggested.

title: ‘Miserable conflict and confusion’: Definitions and Understanding of the Irish Question in British Newspapers, 1917-21
Creators: name: Scheopner, Erin Kate
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2021

description: This thesis analyses British newspaper coverage of the ‘Irish question’ – Ireland’s constitutional relationship with Britain – from the aftermath of the Easter Rising to the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, 1917-21. It examines how eleven British newspapers reported and editorialised the situation and how such writing illuminates press understanding of the Irish question. The central question addressed is how did British press definitions and understanding of the Irish question develop throughout 1917-21? This is in order to address a gap in the historiography: how the Irish question was defined within the British press leading to the ‘solution’ of the Treaty. 

This thesis argues that the press concentrated on the constitutional aspect of the Irish question but did not reconcile the fact that the Irish question had fundamentally changed from its pre-war iteration following the postponement of Home Rule. In addition, common tropes of violence, conflict, and emotion that had been historically utilised to explain issues relating to Ireland were retained and the emotiveness of questions of nationhood were not adequately regarded and managed. These debates also occurred within the context of the global war and post-war period in which the importance of civilian morale was recognised. As a result, the press debates on what the Irish question was and who was responsible for its resolution oscillated and were particularly influenced by the general public distaste of violence and the prospect of an end to conflict through British constitutional politics.

description: IT equipment in schools plays a decisive role in the successful use of digital teaching and learning tools, both for teachers and students. In order to make recommendations for the IT infrastructure required for the use of digital teaching and learning tools, the results of relevant studies were evaluated as part of a literature search (Survey of Schools: ICT in Education and ICILS 2013). This evaluation will be complemented by an evaluation of the results of the online survey on the required competence of teachers and students for the use of digital teaching and learning tools and possible barriers that prevent their use on both sides. This survey was conducted with participants from Germany, Finland, Italy, Portugal, Sweden, Spain and Hungary (D3.2).

The evaluation of the different studies is complemented by the results of the teaching group of the Institute for Simulation and Graphics of the Faculty of Computer Science of the Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg. Within this working group scientists are working on digitization concepts for general schools in the Magdeburg area. In cooperation with the state of Saxony-Anhalt, 2XXX has developed the classroom of the future and the demonstration center of the state of Saxony-Anhalt for school IT and digital learning tools. In both projects, concepts for school IT were developed and practically implemented and tested with partner schools. The expertise of the scientists in the working group and the findings from the implementation of the IT concepts at schools in Magdeburg were primarily incorporated into the design of the questionnaire for D 3.2 and were taken into account in the evaluation of the results.
Security and privacy in smart grid context : problems and solutions
Creators: name: Nicanfar, Hasen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: In order to improve the power grid and provision the Smart Grid concept, one well-defined approach would be to utilize new information and communication technology. Live power consumption data in addition to the time base power consumption rate are essential requirements in this context. These communications are supposed to be bi-directional between consumers, providers and smart grid administrations (market, operators, etc.). However, one of the most essential requirements that should be preserved is to address communication security and privacy. There are many opportunities for adversaries to attack the smart grid system, even remotely anywhere in the world, that could result in costly issues and damages in the system, even jeopardize user privacy. In the first part of this thesis, we concentrate on improving the efficiency of security mechanism and present our tailored authentication and key management mechanisms. We propose two solutions, one for communications between home appliances and a home gateway (smart meter), while the second solution aims at communications between the home smart meter and an appropriate server located in the smart grid utility network.We then propose enhancements on key management by developing two key construction mechanisms based on the Password Authentication Key Exchange (PAKE) protocol. The first is a cluster-based group key mechanism between smart grid entities, e.g. consumers in a neighbourhood area network. The second enhancement is a multi-layer key mechanism motivated by controlling the home smart appliances using different smart grid controllers located in different layers of the controlling hierarchy network. The second part of the thesis concentrates on Privacy. In this part, we present a privacy mechanism based on enhanced network coding for communications between smart meters and utility servers via a mesh topology. Finally, we propose a privacy-aware security solution for mobile devices. For example, to support electric vehicles in buying and selling the power from and to the grid, or in case of the smart phones in the heterogeneous network (4G and/or 5G), to support handover between the access points.

Cis-regulatory integration of intrinsic and target-dependent regulators is required for terminal differentiation of Drosophila neurons
Creators: name: Berndt, Anthony Jason Erich
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Terminal differentiation of neurons often requires retrograde signals from the target cells they innervate, which trigger neural subtype-specific gene expression upon target contact. Target-derived BMP signaling and transcription factors including the LIM-Homeodomain transcription factor Apterous are required for FMRFa neuropeptide gene expression in Drosophila Tv4 neurons. We modeled the integrative mechanism of these extrinsic and intrinsic inputs at a Tv4 neuron-specific FMRFa enhancer. We show that Tv4-specific FMRFa expression requires two separable cis-elements, a BMP-response element (BMP-RE) that binds Mad, and a homeodomain response element (HD-RE) that binds Apterous. Strikingly, we find that concatemers of these two short (~30bp) cis-elements each independently drive spatial and temporal expression appropriate for Tv4-specific FMRFa. Thus, specific and robust expression is generated from the synergy of two low-activity heterotypic cis-elements that encode the same output from distinct inputs. We further examined the timing mechanism of FMRFa initiation, which models predict would be solely based on target contact. In contrast, we find that the timed downregulation of the COUP-TF I/II nuclear receptor Seven up functions to de-repress HD-RE and BMP-RE activity immediately prior to target contact. Thus, we reveal that the active suppression of neurotransmitter identity, prior to target contact, is an innate component of the target-dependent mechanism for timed gene activation. Further examination of the FMRFa BMP-RE shows that the sequence of the Mad and Medea binding sites to be “perfectly wrong.” It displays sequence similarity to both the previously characterized BMP Silencing Element (SE) and Activating Elements (AE) but with base substitutions that should abrogate Smad binding. Biochemical and reporter construct analysis demonstrate that the FMRFa BMP-RE is an atypical activating element that is specifically attenuated in its ability to interact with the co-Smad Medea. In vivo reporter assays show that this attenuation is required to drive appropriate expression in the CNS. These findings represent only the third verified type of BMP-RE found in Drosophila leading us to call this class an AE2 element.

description: The utility of a continuous beam of He droplets for the assembly and surface deposition of Ag clusters, ~ 300 - 6 000, is studied with transmission electron microscopy. Images of the clusters on amorphous carbon substrates obtained at short deposition times have provided for a measure of the size distribution of the metal clusters. The average sizes of the deposited clusters are in good agreement with an energy balance based estimate of Ag cluster growth in He droplets. Measurements of the deposition rate indicate that upon impact with the surface the He-embedded cluster is attached with high probability. The stability of the deposited clusters on the substrate is discussed.

An economic evaluation of a twelve week workplace primary prevention program
Creators: name: Wollmann, Holly
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: With the majority of Canadians waking hours spent at the workplace place, the financial effects of absenteeism and presenteeism due to chronic disease is increasing. Healthy lifestyle behaviours (such as physical activity, proper nutrition, smoking and alcohol reduction, and mental health management) play in reducing absenteeism and presenteeim rates is crucial. A comprehensive multi-faceted 12 week wellness program (i.e., ACCELERATION) was implemented within a workplace setting to determine its effects on absenteeism and presenteeism. One hour education sessions covered a range of topics from physical activity, proper nutrition, smoking and alcohol cessation to mental health management and stress coping. Weekly one hr exercise sessions conducted with exercise logs to monitor activity/exercise levels at home. The specialized workplace wellness program was designed to examine changes healthy lifestyle behaviours in relation to employee health status, as well as absenteeism and presenteeism costs. An economic evaluation of the ACCELERATION program was created via the distribution of online questionnaires at both baseline and a 3 month follow up. A total of 50 participants, 35 females (43.4 ± 11.5 yr) and 15 males (44.9 ± 10.5 yr) completed the 12 week program. The monetary results from the evaluation reported a reduction in absence days by 54.0% from 1.40 to 0.64 per employee and a cost savings average of $155.79 per employee. Presenteeism was reduced by 17.0% from 29.0% to 12.0% equating to an average cost savings of $420.12 per employee. These results indicate that the ACCELERATION program had a positive effect on employee health costs and is a beneficial health program for the workplace.
O percurso da 1.ª e da 2.ª série da revista Lusitania Sacra
Creators: name: Moreira, António Montes
Publisher: name: Lusitania Sacra
Year: 2009

description: O texto constitui um breve olhar sobre o percurso editorial da revista Lusitania Sacra. Criada em 1956, no âmbito do Centro de Estudos de História Eclesiástica (CEHR), “um simples agrupamento de estudiosos de boa vontade”, na sua maioria membros do clero regular e secular, publicou regularmente quatro tomos até 1959. Os três tomos seguintes foram publicados com alguma irregularidade até 1966. Tendo, em 1968, a direção da revista sido assumida por Isaías da Rosa Pereira, na sequência do falecimento de Miguel de Oliveira, foram publicados três outros tomos até 1978, quando se encerrou a 1ª série da revista. Após o processo de integração do CEHR na Universidade Católica e da sua mudança de nome para Centro de Estudos de História Religiosa, a revista iniciou, em 1989, a publicação em 2ª série, que se mantém. São ainda identificadas as principais mudanças de carácter editorial entre a 1ª e a 2ª série.

description: High sidelobe level is a major disadvantage of the Capon beamforming. To suppress the sidelobe, this paper introduces a mainlobe to sidelobe power ratio constraint to the Capon beamforming. it minimizes the sidelobe power while keeping the mainlobe power constant. Simulations show that the obtained beamformer outperforms the Capon beamformer.

As origens da revista Lusitania Sacra
Creators: name: Azevedo, Carlos A. Moreira
Publisher: name: Lusitania Sacra
Year: 2009

description: Neste texto é apresentada uma síntese dos passos que estiveram na origem da revista Lusitania Sacra e do contexto em que esta foi criada. A origem da revista resulta da confluência de vários fatores: a tradição de clérigos eruditos produtores de história, que se vinha acentuando desde o século XIX; a formação de eclesiásticos no estrangeiro e o seu contacto com outros centros de investigação; e a presença de um grupo de portugueses no X Congresso Internacional de Ciências Históricas, em 1955. Em Janeiro de 1956 foi decidida a fundação do Centro de Estudos de História Eclesiástica e da revista Lusitania Sacra. Apresenta-se ainda uma nota biográfica de cada um dos membros da primeira Comissão de redação da revista.

Spaces of cultural resistance : underground libraries in the U.S.Southwest
Creators: name: Izquierdo Mejia, Esteban
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: In 2012, Arizona state government dismantled the Mexican-American Studies (MAS) program in the Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) after a long political fight against the local community. In the process, the books used by the program were boxed and removed from Tucson classrooms. In the aftermath, a group of ‘Underground Libraries’ emerged with the intention to house the banned literature and assure it remained available to the affected community. Starting with the premise that education itself is a site of creation, dissemination and contestation of identity and belonging, my research looks at the role of the Underground Libraries as spaces of cultural resistance in the face of oppressive legislation. In particular, attention is given to the way in which spaces of resistance originate, multiply, and connect in order to create imagined geographies of belonging that can challenge the effects of cultural oppression at a local and regional level.

description: The vasectomy is a contraceptive method available for men, but its use is limited in the majority of countries. To involve men in family planning has been an important goal for a long time, however contraception is still focused on needs of women, instead of a shared issue.
	While in the USA, 175,000 to 350,000 vasectomies are performed each year, in Profamilia Colombia a total of 274,332 vasectomies were performed over a period of forty-six years (1970 to 2016). In South America, Colombia is the second country with the highest prevalence of vasectomy, with 3%, after Brazil (5%). However, in the region, Colombia ranks fifth after Canada (22%), the United States (11%), Brazil (5%) and Costa Rica (5%).
	The social determinants that explain the low access to vasectomy are related to i) gender stereotypes, disparities and erroneous interpretations around the method, ii) barriers in health services, and iii) resistance put by men and their underuse of health services compared to women.
	Our study described the profile of men performing vasectomy in Colombia, in order to generate evidence to adapt health services to the needs of men and eliminate gender stereotypes that restrain men and women from sharing contraceptive responsibilities.
	Descriptive study based on the Demography and Health Survey- DHS, 2015 and the registry of users who accessed the vasectomy service in Profamilia during 2015 and 2016.
	The variables used were age, level of education, place of residence, ethnicity, residence stratum, marital status, number of children born alive and variables related to gender roles.
