The text is a letter from a grandmother born in 1964 to her granddaughter born in August 2020. Through this letter, the grandmother tries to explain what the education she received in the seventies was like, as well as the events that took place during the transition from an isolated and dictatorial Spain to a democratic and open country. She does so from a double perspective. On the one hand, by focusing on women and, on the other, on the laws that have requested the educational system to introduce subjects into the curriculum that would highlight equality between men and women. The text has been structured over the decades to follow the lifeline that would allow the grandmother to describe and analyze some facts about the complex reality of the country. Among these facts, it examines the impact of the new discourses on gender identity in the education system. The new discourses reflected in the new laws move the gender discourse towards gender identity discourse. All of this takes place within the context of a capitalist and narcissistic post-modernity that has displaced the plural towards the singular, the collective towards the individual, and the right to desire.

This book examines the impact that Athenian Old Comedy had on Greek writers of the Imperial era. It is generally acknowledged that Imperial-era Greeks responded to Athenian Old Comedy in one of two ways: either as a treasure trove of Atticisms, or as a genre defined by and repudiated for its aggressive humor. Worthy of further consideration, however, is how both approaches, and particularly the latter one that relegated Old Comedy to the fringes of the literary canon, led authors to engage with the ironic and self-reflexive humor of Aristophanes, Eupolis, and Cratinus. Authors ranging from serious moralizers (Plutarch and Aelius Aristides) to comic writers in their own right (Lucian, Alciphron), to other figures not often associated with Old Comedy (Libanius) adopted aspects of the genre to negotiate power struggles, facilitate literary and sophistic rivalries, and provide a model for autobiographical writing. To varying degrees, these writers wove recognizable features of the genre (e.g., the parabasis, its agonistic language, the stage biographies of the individual poets) into their writings. The image of Old Comedy that emerges from this time is that of a genre in transition. It was, on the one hand, with the exception of Aristophanes’s extant plays, on the verge of being almost completely lost; on the other hand, its reputation and several of its most characteristic elements were being renegotiated and reinvented.

In the actual context of globalization, carmakers face a highly competitive market. The pace of technological innovation, the increase in international competition, the saturation of markets and the shortening of product lifespan are but some of the factors requiring a new organization of production. In order to face these radical changes, carmakers are implementing new strategies, not only by embracing the concept of globalization, but also by promoting changes in labour management practices, work organization and industrial relations. The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of Fiat’s new managerial strategies in response to increased global competition on the situation of the industrial relations, on the role of the Unions and on the condition of workers. These strategies include an intensification of work, shift and wage flexibility, plus a severe limitations of workers’ rights (including the right to strike). On the one hand, such a strategy was presented and justified to the workers and the public as an objective necessity of global economy, and was even submitted to a referendum; on the other, the process was conducted unilaterally, under the recurring threat of transferring production abroad if the workers and their Unions refused to accept the new method. This brought to a split of the Unions and dialogue was maintained only with collaborative organisations, causing the discrimination of the other Unions and a situation of great dissatisfaction amongst all the workers. Through the words of workers and Union activists, the research showed evidence of the failure of claims that new management strategy can ensure both productivity and a new form of workplace democracy in the post-fordist factory. Despite new labour-saving technologies, lean production organisation and the adoption of new metric systems (such as Ergo-UAS), car industry would need, more than in the past, the involvement and active participation of Unions and workers. On the contrary, the paper points out how Fiat’s actual form of production organization generates new tensions and increases employee’s discontent, likely to ignite industrial conflict.

SUMMARY The typical dichlamydeous cyclic Dicotyledon is so organised that the petaloid character of the corolla can be regarded as a function of a certain combination of conditions as regards time and space: time, in so far that the petaloid feature occurs at a definite stage in the series of developmental processes, following, as it does, upon the differentiation of a (usually) uncoloured (i.e. green) calyx; space, in that it is exhibited on the set of radii alternating with the radii of the sepals. Penetrating a little below the surface appearance, we find we can express these same relations in terms of the vascular anatomy as follows. Those floral members (again taking the typical case) which receive as midribs the first set of equidistant bundles to leave the central cylinder show sepaloid characters; those similarly receiving as midrib bundles the outgoing strands on the alternate set of radii exhibit petaloid colouring. It is found that the marginal veins of the sepals of such Dicotyledon types arise in two different ways, less frequently as true lateral veins from the midribs, more often either through the detachment from the central cylinder on the alternate radii of trunk cords which dissociate in due course into a petal midrib and twin bundles which enter the adjacent side of the sepal to right and left, respectively, and become the marginal vein of that side; or through the departure of pairs of separate strands within the limits of the corresponding alternate sectors. In typical monochlamydeous cyclic Dicotyledons radial organisation follows the same scheme as in dichlamydeous types, notwithstanding that the perianth here takes the form of a single whorl of structures. Such monochlamydeous types may be divided into two classes. In the one class only the issuing vascular bundles on the corresponding set of radii enter the perianth members. These bundles become the midribs. They may give off lateral veins at any point or may remain unbranched. In either case the individual member is homologous with the individual sepal and is typically green. In the other class each member receives not only the bundle on its own radius but also half the perianth component proper to the alternate radius on each side, either as separate strands or (in gamophyllous types) as undisjoined components of perianth-stamen trunk cords. The first-mentioned bundle becomes the midrib of the tepal, the two others become marginal veins, the one entering the tepal on the right, the other that on the left. In forms belonging to this class the tepals are typically petaloid. Each may be regarded as the counterpart of one sepal of dichlamydeous types + half the neighbouring petal on either side. This equivalence is not infrequently indicated outwardly by the considerable thickness of the tepal members as compared with that of the sepals and petals of the nearest allied dichlamydeous forms. The accompanying drawings were made by Miss D. F. M. Pertz, to whom I desire to express my grateful thanks.

Abstract: The impact of education decentralization is giving appreciation for differences in ability and local conditions and community diversity in this country. Paradigm changes the education system will requires that every actor and education providers to be proactive, critical and have the passion to want to change. Educational autonomy in the framework of regional autonomy is quite a dilemma consequences among schooling. In the one hand, schools should be independent in creating quality, on the other side of the schools should be independent in creating quality, on the other side of the school still has many shortcomings (supporta). However, in the era of educational autonomy, the school be able to compete with problem, this paper tries to give an idea about the process, the implications, the influence of decentralization of education to the direction of national education and solving problems that arise from this policy.

Problem setting. The article analyzes the features of legal guarantees provided for employees during the performance of state or public duties, considers their essence and significance. It is concluded that their presence, on the one hand, contributes to the quality and effective performance of their duties by a citizen, on the other – ensures the appropriate level of legality and compliance with c urrent regulations. Analysis of recent researches and publications. Some aspects of legal guarantees of labor rights in their publications covered the following scientists: S.Ya. Vavzhenchuk, T.M. Zavorotchenko, M.I. Inshin, V.L. Kostyuk, N.V. Kokhan, O.I. Protsevsky, O.A. Sytnytska, O.M. Yaroshenko, and others. The purpose of the article is to analyze the legal guarantees for employees during the performance of state or public duties, to reveal their essence and meaning. Article’s main body. The article is noted that the guarantees established by the state for employees during the performance of state or public duties (preservation of the place of work (position) and salary) are special protective equipment that supports and protects the employee in cases where he for reasons recognized by law respectable, did not work. The above-mentioned labor guarantees, which ensure the realization of the rights granted to employees, are both intangible (for example, preservation of the place of work, position) and material (preservation of average earnings). The purpose of the sums of money paid during this time is to en sure the preservation of the average earnings of the employee (in whole or in part), as well as to prevent the loss of these earnings. Thus, they are a form of realization of a legal guarantee of the right of employees to prevent the reduction or loss of their income and provide it by preserving the wages of employees, have a material nature. It is noted that the important role of the state in this matter. Whereas, in enshrining the rights and freedoms of the individual in law, he must undertake certain obligations to create favorable conditions for their effective provision: to provide citizens with real opportunities for the practical exercise of their rights and freedoms; to protect the rights and freedoms of the person from possible illegal encroachments; to protect the rights and freedoms of the person in case of their illegal violation. Conclusions and prospects for the development. After analyzing the features of legal guarantees provided for employees during the performance of state or public duties, we can note their importance and significance, especially today. Their presence, on the one hand, contributes to the quality and effective performance of their duties by a citizen, on the other hand, ensures the appropriate level of legality and compliance with the provisions of applicable regulations.

The marriage ceremony for the Batak Toba tribe is a bond between a man and a woman along with relatives of men and women. Through marriage ceremonies they can enter the dalihan na tolu system, carry out a life cycle, become adults and have the right to enter the Batak lineage (tarombo). Because of the importance of the meaning of the marriage ceremony, the Batak Toba people continue to carry out this tradition. According to the tradition of the ancient people, the marriage ceremony was carried out simply by mutual cooperation. In accordance with its development, the marriage ceremony changed from simple to consumerism. Consumerism occurs in mindset, behavior and also matter. Consumer behavior is influenced by: globalization, lifestyle, popular culture and a lack of understanding of the meaning of the Batak Toba marriage ceremony. The phenomenon of consumerism that occurs in the Batak Toba wedding ceremony is very complex because it follows a long procession at a high cost. Although the behavior of consumerism has long been a problem, but in reality they remain immersed in a culture of consumerism . The culture of consumerism on the one hand is a problem but on the other hand is an arena to achieve purpose of life.

Law and education are phenomena that constantly intermingle. On the one hand, in the educational process we use the concepts of rights, freedoms and autonomy. Education must result in shaping a pupils fully mature personality. One of its elements is to build awareness of their rights, taking into account respect for the rights of others. On the other hand, the right is continuously working on society and the individual. It works by: informing, motivating, and educating. The areas of action are related to the relationship that exists between parents and child. This relationship is unique. It refers to the value that family institution has in a society. In the family reveals the crucial role of parental authority. On the other perspective as important it seems to be the problem of respect for the rights of the child which is under the care of their parents. Analyzing the information media and the results of scientific studies more often can be seen the emergence of a particular thread, which is violence. This applies above of violence, which is observed in the educational process. This subject for many years, meets with interest of the Polish, constitutional authority responsible for protecting the child rights, which is the Children Ombudsman. At the end of 2015., on behalf of the above Ombudsman, has been developed an extensive report entitled. “Violence in education. Between the legal ban, and public acceptance. Monitoring of the Children Ombudsman”. Analysis of this document indicates that i society existence a clear and disturbing phenomenon of violence in education. At this point, there are several important questions. In the first place it is worth considering: What is the relationship between the rights of the child and parental authority? Is similar institutions can work together, and "co-exist"? It is also worth to considering: Is education of a child can exist without the element of coercion? Is this compulsion can have a positive face? At the end it is justified to stop the on the socio - legal context of domestic violence formulation. Is the existence of the Polish legal system similar phrases, effectively defends the rights of the family, or may result in the violation of?

This study aims to examine the impact of region minimum wage and infrastructure ratio onIncomeDistribution Gap in Indonesia. This study uses panel data for the period 2011-2017 and consists of 33provinces, except North Kalimantan Province because it is a new province. By using fixed effectpanel data regression analysis, with dependent variable is gini index. While independent variable areregional minimum wage and infrastructure ratio.On the one hand, based on hypothetical test, theresults show that the regional minimum wage and infrastructure ratio have a negative and significanteffect on the income distribution gap in Indonesia. On the other hand, based on the individual effectstest, the large islands such as Sumatera, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali, Maluku, and Papua have apositive effect on the gini ratio. This shows that there is an impact of the infrastructure ratio functionand regional minimum wages in increasing the distribution of income as measured by the gini index.

This chapter provides a critical analysis of the impact of criminalization practices on access to employment in Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. As increasing numbers of citizens are subject to criminal conviction, often the very ones who have already experienced social and economic disadvantage, this can create a further barrier to labour market participation and to full integration into society. Thus, the criminal law can be instrumental in creating a stratified precariat based upon ‘discreditable’ statuses, creating structural traps in forms of employment with poor conditions and prospects. The chapter explores the ways in which labour laws may on the one hand aggravate this form of social exclusion, or may on the other hand relieve such social exclusion by allowing past criminal convictions eventually to be concealed and forgotten. The chapter’s normative concern is to find the right balance in this respect between, on the one hand, the necessary safeguarding of the employing enterprise, its workers and the recipients of its services, and, on the other hand, the maximizing of the possibility of rehabilitation into society of those with criminal convictions.

Background: Cryoballoon (CB) based pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has proven to be as effective as radiofrequency (RF) based ablation. Different ablation protocols took the individual time-to-isolation (TTI) into account aiming at shorter but equally or even more effective freeze-cycles. The current study sought to assess the impact of the TTI on PVI durability in patients undergoing a repeat procedure for recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia (ATA). Methods and Results: In 205 patients with ATA recurrence after previous CB-based PVI a total of 806 PVs were identified. One hundred-twenty-six out of 806 PVs (16%) were previously treated with a TTI guided ablation (protocol #1; TTI+120 sec.), in 92/806 (11%) PVs TTI was only monitored (m) but fixed freeze-cycles were applied (protocol #2; mTTI) and in 588/806 (73%) a fixed freeze-cycle was applied without TTI-monitoring. There was no difference in the PV-reconduction rate between the groups (P=0.23). The right inferior pulmonary vein (RIPV) showed overall significantly higher reconduction rates compared to the other PVs (RIPV – left inferior PV (LIPV) p<0.003, -left superior PV (LSPV) p<0.001, - right superior PV RSPV p<0.013). In 21 patients (10%) only for the RIPV reconduction was assessed. Conclusions: TTI based CB ablation did not show significant differences regarding PV-reconduction rates compared to the other protocols.
