This study describes and analyzes an experimental program established in Canada in 1977 under which layoffs were avoided in twenty-four firms by reducing the hours worked of all employees and taking advantage of a temporary modification of unemployment insurance legislation that allowed workers to receive UI benefits for the day or so each week that they no longer worked. Employees generally favored the plan because, in the typical case of a 20 percent work reduction, they received an extra day of leisure per week while experiencing only a 5 percent reduction in after-tax income. Most employers also favored the plan because they avoided several costs of layoffs, such as the cost of hiring and training replacements for laid-off workers who do not respond to recall. For various reasons the federal government did not continue the program when the experiment ended in 1979, but in January 1982 the government again implemented the program on a temporary basis. The author argues that UI-assisted worksharing is more efficient and more equitable because it can greatly reduce the distributional inequities of unemployment.

Professional forestry training in Canada is in many ways similar to, yet in others differs sharply from, that in the United States. Points of similarity include the time and circumstances surrounding its origin, the background and training of staff members, the level of training desired, and the curricula and teaching methods that have been developed to provide that training. Canadian schools differ from those in the United States, however, by being small in number, by having relatively small enrolments, by producing a relatively uniform standard of graduate, and by adhering to a five-year undergraduate program, following junior matriculation or university entrance.Canadian schools evolved a five-year program in order to emphasize quality rather than quantity, to provide breadth as well as depth of training. Since the academic year in Canadian universities is relatively short, extending undergraduate training over five years was essential for the student to receive a thorough grounding in both professional forestry subjects and the natural sciences upon which forestry is based.

A Performance

A thin epoxy overlay application is a capital preventive maintenance activity. Epoxy overlays reduce the rate of chloride ion ingress and extend bridge deck service life. Highway agency policies and manufacturer specifications require maintaining a 28-day curing period (7-day wet and 21-day dry curing) before the application of an epoxy overlay on bridge decks requiring new concrete for patches and repairs. Consequently, the contractors wait for 28 days to apply an epoxy overlay. Delaying application time increases project completion time and the cost of construction and mobility. The suitability of new concrete to receive epoxy overlays and the performance of overlays depend on several parameters including concrete strength, moisture, and tendency to crack. Such parameters depend on concrete mixture ingredients and wet and dry curing periods. This paper presents a performance-based procedure for evaluating the possibility of reducing the 28-day waiting period for a thin epoxy overlay application on new concrete. An experimental program was developed and executed to evaluate the impact of epoxy overlay application parameters and overlay performance using a tensile bond pull-off strength test. The results support developing a performance-based procedure for deciding on the suitable age of new concrete to receive a thin epoxy overlay. The pull-off bond strength of epoxy overlays applied at 7, 14, and 21 days, following a 7-day moist curing, shows the possibility of applying an epoxy overlay before the end of the 28-day curing period stipulated in the current specifications.

Abstract I integrate Current Population Survey data from 2005 through 2010 with data on a wide range of employee benefits to compare the cost of those benefits for federal employees and for workers in the private sector who have similar observable characteristics. Federal benefits were about 48 percent higher, on average, than the benefits received by similar private-sector workers, which led to roughly a 16 percent difference in total compensation (the sum of benefits and wages). Much of the higher cost of federal benefits stems from differences in retirement benefits. The government provides employees defined-benefits pensions and subsidized health insurance in retirement; arrangements that have become uncommon in the private sector. The distribution of compensation also differed between the sectors, such that less-educated federal workers tended to earn much more than their private-sector counterparts, whereas highly-educated workers tended to receive higher compensation in the private sector.

One of the goals of zakat is to prosper Muslims. To achieve these objectives, the Qur'an guides the distribution of zakat, namely in the QS. At-Taubah verse 60. 8 groups are entitled to receive zakat, namely the destitute, poor, amil zakat, al-mu'allafah qulubuhum, ar-riqab, people who are in debt, fi sabilillah and ibnu sabil . In reality, there are still distributions of zakat that are not following these provisions, because there are people who are not included in the group mustahiq zakat, but he gets zakat. QS interpretation study is needed. At-Taubah verse 60 contextually, so that it can be used as a guide in the distribution of zakat in Indonesia. The theory used in this research is the theory of the Islamic Nativism (Pribumisasi Islam) of Gus Dur. The theory of Islamic Nativism tries to dialogue between universal meanings and civilizations outside of Arabia, in this case, namely Indonesia. With this theory of Islamic indigenization, the author tries to find universalism, cosmopolitanism, and indigenization in Hamka's interpretation of QS. At-Taubah verse 60 concerning mutahiq zakat. In Hamka's interpretation of QS. At-Taubah verse 60 about mustahiq zakat is indigenous of Islam. One of the natives found in the interpretation of Hamka is amil zakat, in Indonesia what is called amil zakat is divided into two, namely those appointed by the government and zakat committees formed by a group of Muslims, such as in the majlis talim, community organizations, schools, and offices.
