Sectoral allocation by gender of Latin American workers over the liberalization period of the 1990s
Get PDFThe recent restructuring of Latin American economies has renewed interest in the effects of trade liberalization, on labor markets, and on the gender division of labor. The author does not attempt to establish casuality between economic reforms, and the types of jobs that men and women hold. Instead, she provides a detailed description of the trends in male, and female formal, and informal sector participation during the economic reform period in Argentina, Brazil, and Costa Rica. The author first compares the gender composition of the formal, informal wage, and self-employment sectors in a year before reforms (1988 for Argentina, 1989 for Brazil, and Costa Rica), and a year after reforms implementation (1997 for Argentina, 1995 for Brazil and Costa Rica). Although women continued to be more likely than men to work in the informal wage sector, there is no trend of"masculinization"or"feminization"of the informal sector, or any other. Instead, in Argentina men have overtaken women as the most prevalent workers in the informal wage sector, while in Brazil, the opposite has occurred (as men move into self-employment). In Costa Rica there have been no statistical, observable changes. The author then considers the distribution across sectors within each gender group, to identify whether men, and women are more likely to select different sectors in the post-reform period relative to the pre-reform period. Among both men, and women in all three countries (except Brazilian men), workers have become more likely to hold informal wage jobs, and less likely to hold formal sector jobs. Trends in human capital accumulation explain these changes for both men, and women, while changes in gender roles, primarily in homecare and marriage, do not seem to have an effect.Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Labor Policies,Population&Development,Public Health Promotion,Environmental Economics&Policies,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Environmental Economics&Policies,Population&Development,Banks&Banking Reform,Work&Working Conditions
Breadwinner or caregiver? - how household role affectslabor choices in Mexico
Get PDFRecent volatility in the Mexican economy, has required households to alter patterns of participation in the labor force, voluntarily or not. The author uses panel data to examine patterns of labor force entry among adult men, and women with different household responsibilities, asking whether gender is a primary determinant, shaping these patterns. She finds that labor supply patterns are driven more by household role, than by gender. Heads of households, regardless of sex, behave similarly. Women who have neither spouses, nor children behave more like men, than like married women. They are also more likely than any other group to have inflexible, higher-paying jobs in the formal sector - which raises the question: Do employers discriminate, based on gender, or on household structure? She also detects a strong added-worker effect among secondary workers, a result not detected in the labor markets of developed countries that have social insurance programs. Finally she finds that wives'choice of sector during downturns, is subject to the households'earning needs, that husbands use informal wage, or contract employment as an employer of last resort, only in response to negative income shocks to the household, and that single mothers do not select the informal sector over the formal sector in response to either expected, or realized negative income shocks. The policy implications? Interventions that target women aren't necessarily appropriate, because women are heterogeneous. And programs that aid household heads - male or female - should be directed toward employment that will last beyond the economic shock.Environmental Economics&Policies,Labor Markets,Educational Policy and Planning,Labor Policies,Health Economics&Finance,Environmental Economics&Policies,Health Economics&Finance,Labor Markets,Educational Policy and Planning,Health Monitoring&Evaluation

No full textIntroduction: Schizophrenia is a severe and chronic mental disorder that can affect 20 million people worldwide. Schizophrenia is a chronic, serious and disabling disease, 1 in 5 people experience mental disorders, meaning that 20% of the population in Indonesia has the potential to experience mental disorders. Residual schizophrenia experiences a decline or even a complete inability to interact or experiences social isolation.
Method: The research method used in this research is using an appropriate case study
with the nursing process consisting of assessment, data analysis, nursing intervention, implementation and evaluation.
Results: From the results of data analysis, 5 nursing diagnoses were obtained, namely social isolation, self-care deficit, verbal communication disorders, memory disorders, and thought process disorders. Of the 5 nursing diagnoses that emerged, the author focused on taking the 2 main actual nursing diagnoses, namely social isolation and self-care deficit.
Conclusion: From the application of SPTK (Nursing Action Implementation Strategy) in social isolation, clients are able to interact in a real way, clients are also able to bathe well and wear neat, unlined clothes
A study of the works of Juan De Flores, with a critical edition of La Historia de Grisel y Mirabella
No full textPhDMy thesis is intended to throw new light on the
biography of the late-fifteenth-century writer Juan de
Flores and to elucidate various aspects of his role in
the development of the Spanish sentimental romance. To
this end, I have prepared a critical edition of his
romance La hiatQri. a sie Gr i. Bel y Mirak-elle (ca. 1480) in
the three distinct versions in which it is known to have
circulated: (1) an original text (preserved in MS
5-3-20, Biblioteca Colombina, Seville, fos. 69r-86r),
(2) a revised version (preserved in MS 940, Biblioteca
Trivulziana, Milan, fos. 1r-76v), and (3) a second
revision, probably anonymous (preserved in the eight
extant printed editions, which range in date from ca.
1495 to 1562). The edition contains a full corpus of
variants for the printed witnesses, along with
linguistic, exegetical and textual notes. Accompanying
this edition is a textual study (Chapter 3) in which I
establish the relationship to one another of the
surviving witnesses and discuss in detail the work's
genesis. The remaining chapters concern the attribution
to Flores of two works hitherto regarded as anonymous.
In Chapter 1, I argue that the known as La
==na-WQn da la zel a GTaniBla is modelled on GI, 1, Bgl y
Mirabelle, and I adduce stylistic and other
circumstantial evidence to show that Flores is probably
-2-
its author. Employing a similar methodology, I
demonstrate in Chapter 2 that Flores can be identified
as a royal chronicler to the Catholic Monarchs and
author of the GjQai-Qa i. nQQIp1at de 14a Ray! aa Qat4j
-Q4a"
Drawing on information in the chronicle, I provide a
plausible reconstruction of his life at the ducal court
of Alba and illustrate the importance of his
historiographic work for our understanding of his
fictional output. This thesis provides a revaluation of
Juan de Flores as a far more prolific, versatile and
influential author than has previously been recognized
A study of folk heroism in World War II: The history of the marking’s guerrillas (1942-1945)
No full textThe current study focuses on the history of the Marking’s Guerrillas and the suitability of the leaders of the guerrilla unit to be labeled as folk heroes through their fame in the Second World War, as their stories suggest after the war. The author aims to study the leaders of Marking’s Guerrillas, the couple Marcos “Marking” V. Agustin and Valeria “Yay” Panlilio. Guided by the inclusive approach, this study investigates the social environment of both leaders to understand their heroism and how they came to be labeled as such. Folk heroes here are defined as people recognized by society to be symbols of good yet outside the law. They often emerge as characters who are defenders of the oppressed or representatives of the minority.
This paper demonstrates how the couple received renown for leading the “Marking’s Guerrillas” Yay Regiment against the Japanese invaders by their actions during and their testimonies after the war. Their most vaunted accomplishment was the victory at the Battle of Ipo Dam on May 19, 1945, where they, along with the 43rd Division and the 5th Air Force, secured a decisive victory, wresting control of the water reservoir from the Japanese. This study also distinguishes the Marking’s Guerrillas’ role as a unit during the Second World War. It also analyzes the couple’s suitability to be considered as folk heroes and its importance to the larger context of Philippine World-War II history
Influence of farm diversity on nitrogen and greenhouse gas emission sources from key European dairy cattle systems: A step towards emission mitigation and nutrient circularity
Get PDFEuropean dairy cattle production systems (DPS) are facing multiple challenges that threaten their social, economic, and environmental sustainability. In this context, it is crucial to implement options to promote the reconnection between crop and livestock systems as a way to reduce emissions and enhance nutrient circularity. However, given the sector's diversity, the successful implementation of these options lacks an evaluation framework that jointly considers the climatic conditions, farm characteristics, manure management and mineral fertilisation practices of DPS across Europe.This study was financially supported by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) through the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE) and other National Funding Agencies through the “MilKey” project (grant number 2819ERA08A), funded under the Joint Call 2018 ERA-GAS (Grant N° 696356), SusAn (Grant N° 696231) and ICT-AGRI 2 (Grant N° 618123) on “Novel technologies, solutions and systems to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions in animal production systems”, and the “DairyMix” project (grant number 2822ERA15A) under the Joint Call of the Cofund ERA-Nets SusCrop (Grant N° 771134), FACCE ERA-GAS (Grant N° 696356), ICT-AGRI-FOOD (Grant N°862665) and SusAn (Grant N° 696231).

Study of solid-liquid extractions in a batch equipment
No full textThe author is grateful to Prof. F. Miranda (UNSA) and Prof. R. Gilbert (UNL) for helpful discussions, and to the reviewers of this manuscript for valuable comments. Partial financial support of CONCYTEC is gratefully acknowledged. Preliminary experimental work was performed in the laboratories of the Chemical Engineering Department of the Universidad Nacional de San Agustin (Peru).A batch pilot-scale apparatus is described for the study of processes for obtaining phyto-extracts using solvents. The distinctive feature of the equipment is that it provides the efficiency of a multi-stage counter-current extraction, yet uses only a single batch extractor (as opposed to a battery of extractors). This is achieved by using an auxiliary tank in which intermediate extracts are saved and recirculated in a pre-established order. Careful design of the mechanisms for the circulation of liquid from such tanks has resulted in an apparatus that is compact and has simple, flexible operation. A prototype of this apparatus was constructed for the study of the direct extraction of oil from sunflower seeds using hexane A simple model that describes the operation of the equipment is presented and applied to our experimental work with oilseeds.Consejo Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación Tecnológica - Concyte
Streamflow droughts aggravated by human activities despite management
No full textHuman activities both aggravate and alleviate streamflow drought. Here we show that aggravation is dominant in contrasting cases around the world analysed with a consistent methodology. Our 28 cases included different combinations of human-water interactions. We found that water abstraction aggravated all drought characteristics, with increases of 20%-305% in total time in drought found across the case studies, and increases in total deficit of up to almost 3000%. Water transfers reduced drought time and deficit by up to 97%. In cases with both abstraction and water transfers into the catchment or augmenting streamflow from groundwater, the water inputs could not compensate for the aggravation of droughts due to abstraction and only shift the effects in space or time. Reservoir releases for downstream water use alleviated droughts in the dry season, but also led to deficits in the wet season by changing flow seasonality. This led to minor changes in average drought duration (-26 to +38%) and moderate changes in average drought deficit (-86 to +369%). Land use showed a smaller impact on streamflow drought, also with both increases and decreases observed (-48 to +98%). Sewage return flows and pipe leakage possibly counteracted the effects of increased imperviousness in urban areas; however, untangling the effects of land use change on streamflow drought is challenging. This synthesis of diverse global cases highlights the complexity of the human influence on streamflow drought and the added value of empirical comparative studies. Results indicate both intended and unintended consequences of water management and infrastructure on downstream society and ecosystems. Water Resource
Telecommunications performance, reforms, and governance
Get PDFThe authors assess the effects of private capital and independent regulatory agencies on telecommunications performance by using cross-country panel data from 1990 to 2003. In general, they find that having independent regulatory agencies positively affects affordability and labor productivity, but negatively affects quality. Having private capital positively affects access, quality, and labor productivity, but negatively affects affordability. However, reform policies affect industrial and developing countries differently in some cases. The authors also find that governance plays an important role as it affects performance and interacts with reform policies.Country Strategy&Performance,Economic Theory&Research,Infrastructure Regulation,ICT Policy and Strategies,Investment and Investment Climate
