No full textA copy of this book was presented to each child participating in a session of fable-telling and fable-drawing in York. What a great idea! I am not sure who "publishes" this print-upon-demand version, printed five days before our session. The cover is a dark facsimile of the original cover; the inside is entirely black and white. 8½" x 11". Unpaginated. Each new fable starts a new page. This book deserves to get around!No Autho
The Correlation Between Insomnia & Student Status
No full textThe purpose of the study is to understand the correlation between insomnia and student status. Student status refers to a person being enrolled in a course of study. This project focused specifically on college level students for this research with the goal to understand the factors that relate to insomnia within college students. Other researchers have posed recommendations within their studies such as better health care within the universities, as well as better sleep habits. Throughout these studies, there were comparisons made between majors, general public v. student status, on which populations struggle more with insomnia-based symptoms. Understanding the correlation between insomnia and student status is important because overall, it benefits the students’ wellbeing and academic performance. Researchers collected data through a digital cross-sectional quantitative survey conducted between the years 2020, 2022 and 2024 with a total of 1,022 participants. The results identified that there is no significant correlation between student status and insomnia. Further studies would need to be introduced in order to identify other factors that may contribute to insomnia

Bedtime Stories for Children: Aesop's Fables: Illustrated Fables for Kids
No full textHere is an 8" x 10" softbound print-upon-demand book of 116 numbered fables on 147 pages for reading to young children. The cover is a colorful, simple rendition of TH. The illustrations inside are simple, black-and-white, computer generated, and full-page. I count ten of them. The beginning T of C includes the number of each fable as well as its page. It may be a comment on our present situation that the first element after statements of rights and a "legal notice" is a disclaimer. The first word about Aesop is that we do not know his last name. The introduction goes on to some generalized statements about whether Aesop created many of these stories and why they were sometimes written in complex language. The introduction acknowledges Laura Gibbs as "a known author who has successfully been able to translate Aesop's fables into a children's guide" (11). I myself was surprised that, when we come to fables, the first fable told is an anecdote of Aesop talking with ferrymen. The morals tend to run to several sentences.Elijah Da Vinc

The Gender Pay Gap in the Transition from Communism: Some Empirical Evidence
No full textThis short paper investigates the path through the 1990s of the gender pay gap in a number of former communist countries of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. The main findings are that the gender pay gap has not exhibited, in general, an upward tendency over the transitional period to which available data relate. Most of the gender pay gap is ascribed to the 'unexplained' component using conventional decompositions and this may be partly attributable to the proxy measure for labour force experience used in this study. Quantile regression analysis indicates that, in all but one country, the ceteris paribus gender pay gap rises as we move up the wage distribution.gender, transition, wage distributions, pay gaps, quantile regression
International comparators and poverty and health in Europe
No full textSummary points:
In 1970 male life expectancy at age 15 was 56 in
countries that now form the European Union; 55
in the communist countries of central and eastern
Europe (excluding the Soviet Union); and 52 in
the Soviet Union.
In 1997 male life expectancy was 60 in the
countries that now form the European Union; 54
in the former communist countries of central and
eastern Europe (excluding the former Soviet
Union); and 48 in Russia.
The relative disadvantage for women was similar,
but the absolute differences were smaller.
Mortality changes after 1989 in eastern Europe
were correlated with changes in gross domestic
product and changes in income inequalities.
In the 1980s there were inequalities in health
within individual countries in eastern Europe;
these were wider after 1989.
Inequalities in health within individual countries in
eastern Europe were more strongly related to
education than to measures of economic wellbeing
The inequality trap A comparative analysis of social spending between 1880 and 1933
No full textUsing two alternative indicators of redistribution -social transfers and social spending- over the time-period 1880-1933 and using two alternative proxies for inequality -the percentage of non-family farms and the top income shares-, this paper shows that, contrary to what many studies on the origins of the welfare state appear to implicitly suggest, inequality did not favour the development of social policy even in its early stages. Since social policy developed more easily in countries that were previously more egalitarian, it seems that unequal societies were in a sort of inequality trap, where inequality itself was an obstacle to redistribution.comparative economic history, inequality, social policy, redistribution
The inequality trap. A comparative analysis of social spending between 1880 and 1933 [WP]
No full text[spa] Utilizando dos indicadores alternativos de redistribución –las transferencias sociales y el gasto social- durante el periodo de tiempo comprendido entre 1880 y 1933, y utilizando dos indicadores alternativos de desigualdad –el porcentaje de explotaciones agrarias no familiares y los top income shares-, este papel muestra que, al contrario de lo que muchos estudios sobre los origines del Estado del Bienestar suelen sugerir, la desigualdad no favoreció el desarrollo de la política social ni siquiera en sus etapas iniciales. Ello significa que la política social se desarrolló más rápidamente en los países que previamente ya eran más igualitarios, lo que sugiere que los países con más desigualdad se encontraban en una especie de trampa de la desigualdad, donde la desigualdad en si misma fue uno de los obstáculos a la redistribución.[eng] Using two alternative indicators of redistribution -social transfers and social spending- over the time-period 1880-1933 and using two alternative proxies for inequality -the percentage of non-family farms and the top income shares-, this paper shows that, contrary to what many studies on the origins of the welfare state appear to implicitly suggest, inequality did not favour the development of social policy even in its early stages.
