Gender and Work-Life Balance: a Contest Analysis on Nursey Schools in Palermo
2018
This paper reflects on the gender inequalities and their influence in the access to labor market and, on the other one, to reproductive process. Maternity and work often arise as choices excluding one another due for the inadequacy of care services. The essay reviews some laws of the last years for encourage the work-life balance and analyzes the presence of the services for children in Palermo. The “case study” of the municipality of Palermo shows a general lack of services and a progressive reduction of public nurseries and kindergarten, despite the economic investments of the last decades at institutional level. It points out how many obstacles persist that discourage female participatio…
The legal balance between liberty and equality
2021
The paper explores the specific legal balance between liberty and equality, distinguishing it from political theories and constitutional settings, where they are often considered in opposition. In order to find the specific legal balance between liberty and equality, and after identifying some of their relevant meanings for the purpose, it becomes necessary to focus on the rule of law, and to examine the relationship between liberty and equality in its different versions. Once the core meaning of the rule of law in terms of liberty and equality is enucleated, it is possible to consider extending it to the international field.
Macroeconomic fluctuations and educational inequalities in suicide mortality among working-age men in the Baltic countries and Finland in 2000–2015: …
2020
Abstract Introduction In the 2000s, the Baltic countries experienced unprecedented economic growth followed by a deep recession. This study aimed to examine changes and educational inequalities in suicide mortality among working-age men in the Baltic countries and Finland in relation to macroeconomic fluctuations. Methods We analysed changes in overall suicide mortality and by educational level between the 2000–2003, 2004–2007, 2008–2011 and 2012–2015 periods among men aged 30–64 years using census-linked longitudinal mortality data. We estimated age-standardised mortality rates, mortality rate ratios (Poisson regression), the relative index of inequality and slope index of inequality. Resu…
Dzimumu stereotipi nodarbinātības jomā Baltijas valstīs
2021
Maģistra darbā “Dzimumu stereotipi nodarbinātības jomā Baltijas valstīs” tiek analizēti pirmsākumi, procesi un mehānismi ilgtermiņa stereotipu mainīšanas politikas attīstībai mūsdienu sabiedrībā. Tiek pētīts, kā var veidot attiecības starp darba devējiem un darba ņēmējiem, lai abas puses mazāk koncentrētos uz “dzimuma efektu” savā darba vietā. Tiek noteikts, cik lielā mērā pastāvošie dzimumu stereotipi nodrošina sieviešu veiksmīgu iekļaušanos darbaspēkā; kuri stereotipi galvenokārt traucē sieviešu profesionālo zināšanu un spēju attīstībai un kā Eiropas Savienības darba likumdošana atbalsta dzimumu līdztiesību darba tirgū. Darba analītiskā daļa ietver kultūras, vēstures un sociālekonomiskos …

Micro-investment perspective and the potential of the universal basic income
2018
In this article, we explore the prospects of Basic Income (BI) as a development policy tool. Our approach is to analyse the BI as a tool for promoting micro-investments and as a general development policy instrument, thus deliberately departing from the perception of cash transfers as targeted poverty reduction tools. As experiences in testing BI systems in developing country contexts are limited to local and regional experiments in Namibia and India (Haarmann et al., 2009; Haarmann & Haarmann, 2012; Davala et al., 2015), conclusive assessments about the impacts of the BI cannot be drawn. Therefore, we aim to estimate potential impacts of the BI by synthesising existing knowledge. This esti…
Knowledge, attitudes, and practices about homelessness and willingness-to-pay for housing-first across 8 European countries: a survey protocol
2018
Contains fulltext : 200223.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) Background: Most European countries report rising numbers of people experiencing homelessness. For those with mental disorders, interventions are centered on achieving mental health and drug rehabilitation alongside housing readiness, often to the detriment of access to housing. Notwithstanding, more European countries are investing in a new model, Housing First (HF), which postulates immediate access to permanent housing with no initial requirements for treatment. While results of the European HF programs are published on individual-level data, little is known about the opinions of the general population about homelessness…
ROLES DE GÉNERO Y AGRESIVIDAD EN LA ADOLESCENCIA
2016
Abstract:GENDER ROLES AND AGGRESSIVENESS IN ADOLESCENCEAdolescent and Young violence remains a concern which damages their biopsychosocial development and involves several factors. The binomial sex-gender has revealed considerable influence on aggressive behavior among adolescents. In order to study in depth our knowledge about these variables, this study analyzes the relation between gender category (masculinity, feminity, adrogyny or undifferentiated) and sex (men or women) to adolescent aggressiveness. For this purpose, by the Spanish adaptation of Sexual Role Inventory by Bem (García-Mina Freire, 2004) and the Cuestionario de Información, Actitudes y Comportamientos relacionados con la …
On the lattice of prefix codes
2002
AbstractThe natural correspondence between prefix codes and trees is explored, generalizing the results obtained in Giammarresi et al. (Theoret. Comput. Sci. 205 (1998) 1459) for the lattice of finite trees under division and the lattice of finite maximal prefix codes. Joins and meets of prefix codes are studied in this light in connection with such concepts as finiteness, maximality and varieties of rational languages. Decidability results are obtained for several problems involving rational prefix codes, including the solution to the primeness problem.
On the decomposition of prefix codes
2017
Abstract In this paper we focus on the decomposition of rational and maximal prefix codes. We present an effective procedure that allows us to decide whether such a code is decomposable. In this case, the procedure also produces the factors of some of its decompositions. We also give partial results on the problem of deciding whether a rational maximal prefix code decomposes over a finite prefix code.
