This research note updates Cormac Ó Gráda’s (1996) critical review of the literature on the connection between the stature of the Irish, on the one hand, and their health and living standards, on the other. We find most of the anthropometric data sets used in this literature pertain to Irish emigrants rather than those who stayed behind. We therefore argue prison registers are a more appropriate source of anthropometric information. But results derived from these registers need to be handled with caution as prisoners are a selected population. We uncover the various observable selection biases inherent in prison data and track how they change across the second half of the nineteenth century. We find changes in selection into crime across time are more likely to have been due to institutional rather than economic factors.

In recent years prominent companies have migrated call centre services to India provoking much-publicized fears for the future of UK employment. This article challenges the widely-held assumption that offshoring voice services is a seamless undertaking, principally through an investigation of the Indian call centre labour process. This enquiry is informed initially by an analysis of the political-economic factors driving offshoring and shaping the forms of work organization to have emerged in India. A critical review of literature on call centre work organization provides a conceptual framework, through which Indian developments are analysed. Data comes from fieldwork conducted in India and a complete audit of the Scottish industry, through which UK trends can be evaluated. We conclude that the Indian industry reproduces in exaggerated and culturally-distinctive forms, a labour process that has proved problematical for employers and employees alike in the UK and elsewhere.

<p>In 2008, the estimate amount of landfill waste in Indonesia reached 38.5 million tons every year with the largest compositions are organic waste (58%), plastic waste (14%), paper waste (9%) and wood waste (4%). Among waste compositions, only plastic waste takes the longest time of decomposition, about 100-500 years. This is because the characteristic of plastic is unravel which can lead to pollution of land, water and air. To overcome these problems, many people try to find solutions for plastic wastes such as burn, bury and recycle plastic wastes. But, all these ways still have negative impacts for the environment and the safety of the workers who do the combustion process. Therefore, it is a conversion machine that can convert plastic wastes into fuel with pyrolisis system, it burn plastic wastes in vacuum condition. This machine has several advantages, which have a high calorific value of the fuel (equivalent calorific value premium), and this machine can reduce a lot of plastic wastes, reached 92 kilos/ 8 hour every day for 2 kilos reactor capacity, and it’s also safety for environment because the plastic wastes are burnt in the reactor with 900 °C heat. So, the process and the oil are not produces dioxine gas. The innovations of this conversion of plastic waste machine are, it has a continuous pipe that can put 0.3 kg of plastic waste within 1.5 minutes while the machine is operating.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> plastic waste, conversion machine, pyrolysis, liquid fuel <br /><br /></p>

A continuación vamos a proceder a realizar una revisión crítica de las principales teorías que tratan de explicar las causas de los movimientos migratorios. Entre ellas hay algunas proposiciones teóricas que ponen el énfasis en lo económico, mientras que otras buscan explicación en fenómenos sociales y culturales. Se puede decir que todas ellas tienen algo de cierto, por lo que resulta esencial para los investigadores de la migración el conocerlas todas y saber sus diferencias. In the following pages we will conduct a critical review of the main theories that attempt to explain the causes of migration. Among them, there are some theoretical propositions that emphasise economic factors, while others seek explanation in social and cultural phenomena. All of them have some truth, so it may be useful for migration researchers to know them.

With the bad loans ratio as evaluation index of China Development Bank Co Main Businesses’ credit risk, this paper will transform the bad loans ratio into comprehensive index with Logit model. Based on the above work, comprehensive index as the dependent variable and macro economic factors will be analyzed with multivariate linear regression.At last, macro pressure test will be carried out by presuming scenario, and the influence of macroeconomic factors fluctuation on the bad loans ratio of China Development Bank Co will be quantitatively analyzed.
