En esta investigación se indaga en torno a posibles vínculos entre el género, la edad y la violencia implícita en los homicidios que acontecen en México. En primer lugar, a partir de diversos registros estadísticos, se esboza el grado de responsabilidad penal y de victimización de los hombres jóvenes ante dicho ilícito. En segundo lugar, se analiza la manera como diversas corrientes criminológicas han explicado la problemática antes comentada; es decir, cómo han tenido en cuenta el género masculino y la edad o, más específicamente, las masculinidades y la juventud. Al respecto, se plantea la visión aportada desde el enfoque positivista, el sociológico y de la diferencia sexual. En tercer lugar, y para finalizar, desde esta última perspectiva se cuestionan las estrategias preventivas que el gobierno mexicano ha puesto en marcha para evitar la sobremortalidad masculina en el delito de homicidio de los jóvenes mexicanos. This research analyzes the possible links between gender, age and violence in the homicides that take place in Mexico. Based on statistical records, the degree of criminal responsibility and victimization of young men in this crime is outlined. Secondly, the way in which different criminology perspectives have explained the aforementioned problem is analyzed, specifically, how they have taken into account the male gender and age; about it, three different approaches are presented: the positivist, sociological and sexual difference. To conclude, from this last perspective, the preventive strategies that the Mexican government has set in motion to prevent excessive number of male deaths due to homicide are questioned.

Potential applicants to graduate school find it difficult to predict, even approximately, which schools will accept them. We have created a predictive model of admissions decision-making, packaged in the form of a web page that allows students to enter their information and see a list of schools where they are likely to be accepted. This paper explains the rationale for the model’s design and parameter values. Interesting issues include the way that evidence is combined, the estimation of parameters, and the modeling of uncertainty.

In this article I argue that critical phenomenology, informed by critical race and intersectional scholarship, offers a useful lens through which to consider suicide and self-harm among men. To illustrate this, I draw on a narrative informed analysis of the accounts of 10 men who had experienced self-harm, read through Sara Ahmed’s queer phenomenology. Two themes are emphasised: gendered, raced, classed bodies that are (unexpectedly) stopped; and bodies that, despite being stopped, still ‘do’ – enacting violence and control against self and other. Critical phenomenology can support much needed examination of the complex ways in which socioeconomic class, race, gender and age structure experiences of distress among different social groups. This approach enables a simultaneous examination of the way that privilege and oppression may shape both the experience of distress, and the way it is responded to – including through violence against the self, and against others.

This article explores subjective perceptions and constructions of “risk” and “protection” among ultra-Orthodox Jewish children aged 10–16 in Israel. Eight focus groups were conducted, with a total of 30 ultra-Orthodox children (boys and girls). Our analysis indicates that the children’s subjective perceptions of “risk” and “protection” coincided with four fundamental domains: the physical, the emotional, the political, and the spiritual. The findings highlight that—from the perspective of children—culture, religion, spirituality, and other macro socio-political contexts, in addition to gender and age, are factors that function simultaneously to shape the way in which “risk” and “protection” are constructed.

This paper describes the development of a compiler for XSLT3.0 which can run directly in modern browsers. It exploits a virtual machine written in JavaScript, Saxon-JS, which interprets an execution plan for an XSLT transform, consuming source documents and interpolating the results into the displayed web page. Ordinarily these execution plans (Stylesheet Export File, SEF), which are written in XML, are generated offline by the Java-based Saxon-EE product. Saxon-JS has been extended to handle dynamic XPath evaluation, by adding an XPath parser and a compiler from the XPath parse tree to SEF. By constructing an XSLT transform that consumes an XSLT stylesheet and creates an appropriate SEF, exploiting this XPath compiler, we have managed to construct an in-browser compiler for XSLT3.0 with high levels of standards compilance. This opens the way to support both dynamic transforms, in-browser stylesheet construction and execution and a potential route to language-portable XSLT compiler technologies.

Have you ever thought of the amount of data you create each day? Every message you send, every credit card transaction, even every web page you open… They all collect a total of 2.5 quintillion bytes of data produced daily by the global population. This offers endless opportunities to leverage this data for the most forward-thinking businesses in many areas, and the banking industry is no exception While digital banking is used by almost half of the world's adult population, financial institutions have enough data at their disposal to rethink the way they work, becoming more efficient, more customer-focused, and ultimately more profitable.

AbstractUtilizing a police dataset of a fundraising Ponzi scheme in China, we establish referrer-investor links and examine how investor affinity in terms of gender and age affects the way the scheme spreads and the way investors suffer losses. We find that female or older investors are more susceptible to investor affinity. Specifically, female or older investors are more likely to be referred into the scheme by female or older investors. Female or older investors tend to occupy lower layers in the investor hierarchy of the scheme and they are more likely to occupy lower layers if they are referred into the scheme by female or older investors. Consequently, female or older investors suffer more losses if they are referred into the scheme by female or older investors. We conclude that gender and age-based investor affinities are especially pronounced among female or older investors in a Ponzi scheme.

The content of praise given to children co-determines their effectiveness. Certain ways of praising may not only be ineffective, but may even be harmful to children. The aim of the study was to determine which praise methods, categorized by content, are most often used by mothers of young children and whether their frequency is related to the age and gender of their children. 465 mothers of children aged 1–7 were examined using the Questionnaire of Ways of Praise (Kwestionariusza Sposobów Chwalenia). Participants reported most often praising the effect of children’s activity, then the way the child performed the activity. They described what they considered praiseworthy, formulated passing praise, and emphasized the importance of the child’s behavior for other people slightly less often. They rarely declared praise by comparing the child with other children. Older children were more often asked what they think when being praised, were more often compared with other children, and put as an example. Younger children were more often praised in person. The gender and age of the children were important for the use of praise regardless of the child’s behavior.

In this chapter the author analyzes, from a cognitive pragmatics point of view and, more specifically, from a relevance-theoretic approach, the way Internet users assess the qualities of web pages in their search for optimally relevant interpretive outcomes. The relevance of a web page is measured as a balance between the interest that information provides (the so-called “positive cognitive effects” in relevance theory terminology) and the mental effort involved in their extraction. On paper, optimal relevance is achieved when the interest is high and the effort involved is low. However, as the relevance grid in this chapter shows, there are many possible combinations when measuring the relevance of content on web pages. The author also addresses how the quality and design of web pages may influence the way balances of interest (cognitive effects) and mental effort are assessed by users when processing the information contained on the web page. The analysis yields interesting implications on how web pages should be designed and on web usability in general.

The present article analyzes the crucial impact that artisan forms of organizing work had in the production of early cotton factories. By examining the case of the Sirés factory in Barcelona, this article argues that dividing work by gender and age and working with relatives, all traditional practices in an artisan shop, allowed eighteenth-century factory owners to face the challenges that production posed. The example of the Sirés factory also offers a picture of early industrialization that challenges the long-standing argument that artisan and factory forms of production were antagonistic. Factory owners organized their production and work in ways that replicated the way artisans had long produced and worked in their shops. Moreover, in shops and factories alike, production depended not just on the work of individuals, but also on that of their relatives. Parents and children, husbands and wives – all brought the flexibility of traditional artisan forms of organizing work to the new factories.
