Educational Gaps

La pandemia de COVID-19 visualizó cómo los activos digitales influyen en la sociedad contemporánea y juegan un papel decisivo en la recuperación económica. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar las brechas sociales y educativas derivadas del impacto del nivel de digitalización en España 2020. Esta investigación se basa en la educación comparada como metodológica, relacional y crítica con implementación tecnológica; que intenta vincular la educación con los cambios en su entorno social; con el fin de contribuir a la mejora del sistema educativo. En este sentido, a partir del informe DESI de los últimos tres años, se analiza el caso de España en relación con lapuntuación media del resto de países miembros de la UE. Las brechas sociales apuntaban a perfiles de población vulnerable por tener pocas competencias digitales o por estar prácticamente excluida de los servicios y recursos digitales, lograr una nueva perspectiva centrada en el ser humano significa lograr el desarrollo económico. Las brechas educativas apuntaban al Capital Humano y sus bajas competencias en software, pocos especialistas en especialidades TIC y baja representación femenina en especialidadesTIC. Estos resultados mostraron la importancia de la educación STEM sensible al género, que parece ser la clave para el crecimiento económico y la competitividad nacional. The COVID-19 pandemic visualized how digital assets influence contemporary society and play a decisive role in economic recovery. The objective of this work is to identify the social and educational gaps derived from the impact of the level of digitization in Spain 2020. This research is based on comparative education as methodological, relational and critical with the technological implementation; who tries to link education with changes in their social environment; in order to contribute to the improvement of the educational system. In this sense, based on the DESI report for the last three years, the case of Spain is analyzed in relation to the average score of the rest of the EU member countries. The social gaps pointed to profiles of vulnerable populations for having few digital skills or for being practically excluded from digital services and resources, achieving a new perspective centered on the human being will mean achieving economic development. The educational gaps pointed to human capital and its low skills in software, few specialists in ICT specialties and low female representation in ICT specialties. These results showed the importance of STEM and gender-sensitive education, which appears to be the key to economic growth and national competitiveness.

The present paper focuses on the impact of quality on customers’ buying behaviour towards point-of-purchase display at various retail outlets in Haryana. Point-of-Purchase Display plays an important role to increase the sale of the retailers. Today customers are rational and prefer quality products at reasonable price. Moreover, due to the emergence of the supermarkets as the dominant retail, the retail industry is experiencing vibrant changes all over the world. Retail industry in India has grown to be more complex and dynamic with an increase rate of speed from unorganized towards being organized. In this research paper data has been collected from 100 respondents and analysed with the help of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) using one way ANOVA and t-test with demographic factors i.e. age-wise, gender-wise, occupation-wise and income-wise. . After analysing the data it was found that, there is neutral relationship in the opinion of different age groups and gender groups over the point-of-purchase display on quality. On the other hand Occupation and income does not have any importance on customers view point regarding ‘quality’. To conclude we can say that point-of-purchase display is not directly related to the quality.

The Impact

Natural resource management that does not pay attention to the principles of conservation of natural resources and the environment will have negative implications for environmental sustainability. With the discovery of gold on the coast of Tamiouw Village at this time, residents' activities have shifted to gold mining activities in the coastal area of Tamilouw. This study aims to determine the impact of gold mining on the physical environment in Tamilouw Village, Amahai District, Central Maluku Regency, as well as to determine the impact of gold mining on the social and economic environment of the local community. The research  was  conducted  using  non-experimental  methods,  namely exploratory descriptive,  field observations  and literature study. The results showed that gold mining carried out in Tamilouw Village uses mercury in the process of separating gold from sand, although there are also some people who carryout traditional processing. What some people are worried about is that the disposal of mercury waste is not carried out according to the required procedures, so that it will have an impact on environmental damage. The existence of mining activities does not affect the social aspects, namely education, health and age and gender; while from the economic aspect, it also contributes to increasing people's income.

For more than a generation, as the authors rightly point out, the impact of organized labor on electoral politics has been neglected in scholarly literature. Indeed, only a tiny minority of social scientists explicitly focuses on organized labor in the United States. Although the impact of the social movements of the 1960s appeared to heighten awareness of the importance of class, race, and gender, class and its organized expression, the union movement, has received less attention, while studies of race and gender have flourished.

Despite the alarming numbers of workers living in poverty in developed countries, work is still commonly seen as a way out of poverty. From a social constructivist perspective and based on qualitative research of the working poor in Israel, the article explores low-income Arab and Jewish working men’s views of poverty. It addresses research topics such as the meaning of work, the perception of the workplace, and the experience of poverty and coping strategies. In addition, the article examines the presence of ethnic differences in the social construction of in-work poverty. At the theoretical level, the article questions dominant views of work as the main exit from poverty, highlights the impact of gender and ethnicity in the construction of in-work poverty, and suggests the need for more context and gender-informed policies to respond to the complexity of the male working poor population.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore research on the inclusion of women and discourses on gender in the social studies curriculum, with the goal of promoting gender equality.Design/methodology/approachTo gauge how issues on gender are being taken up in classrooms around the world, the process started by exploring Compare, Comparative Education, Comparative Education Review and International Journal of Educational Development. Initially, studies related to the social studies curriculum were examined. The research then expanded beyond the social sciences and these journals. The next level of research used a mixture of the key search terms “inclusion,” “gender discourse,” “women,” “gender equality” and “curriculum.” Studies conducted around the world were examined to broaden the understanding of global research on women and gender discourses in the curriculum.FindingsAlthough progress is evident, reform measures are necessary to ameliorate the inclusion of women and gender discourses in the curriculum. Implementing these strategies in social studies education may be effective steps to achieve gender equality: (1) consistently encourage students to critique power structures and systems of oppression; (2) include the exploration of gender fluidity, masculinity and the fluidity of masculinity in the curriculum; (3) examine intersectional identities such as race, gender and sexuality; and (4) utilize teacher education programs and professional development as key sites to help educators improve the amount of and approach to gender discourse in the classroom.Originality/valueAfter reviewing these studies, the combined findings offer potential steps to achieve gender equality.

The Welfare State

Social policy matters have long been considered women’s issues. Extant research has documented a strong link between gender and the policies of the welfare state in the legislative, executive and electoral arenas. Yet what determines the strength of this association has largely been left unexplored. Drawing on tokenism theory, this article proposes gender diversity at the group level as a key explanatory factor. It hypothesizes that the gender gap in social policy diminishes as the female representation in a political party increases. To test this argument, it examines almost 8000 press releases issued by over 600 politicians during four election campaigns in Austria between 2002 and 2013. The analysis demonstrates that women talk more about social policy issues during election campaigns than men, but that this emphasis gap disappears for parties with a more equal gender balance. These results have important implications for our understanding of the politics of gender and social policy.

RESUMO Há uma estreita relação das mulheres com a produção de alimentos, suscitando debates acerca dessa relação, dentre elas uma suposta propensão a realizar determinados trabalhos na cozinha por associação com estereótipos ligados ao gênero feminino, como é o caso da confeitaria. O principal objetivo, portanto, foi analisar a associação entre a figura feminina e a área de confeitaria profissional. O trabalho discutiu questões de gênero e construção da mulher, passando pelo machismo na cozinha profissional e a relação da mulher com a confeitaria. A partir da análise do conteúdo de entrevistas realizadas com sete profissionais da área de cozinha e confeitaria, verificou-se questões relativas à divisão sexual do trabalho, raça e gênero, associação do homem confeiteiro à homossexualidade, discutidos com base em conceitos de Pierre Bourdieu, como o poder simbólico, a violência simbólica e o habitus. Observou-se uma associação estereotipada de gênero, reconhecendo-se a necessidade de uma remodelação dessas relações de representação feminina na área de gastronomia profissional.Palavras-chave: Confeitaria. Feminismo. Cozinha profissional. Divisão sexual do trabalho. “WOMEN ARE MORE DELICATE”: a study on the association of female figure to the field of professional confectionary arts ABSTRACTThere is a close relation of women and food production, rising debates around it, among those a supposed propensity for some kinds of labor on gastronomy by association with gender steriotypes, such as on the field of professional confectionary arts.

Effective Design

This systematic review aimed to examine the prevalence of the relative age effect (RAE) in swimming and its impact on competition performance according to different types of interacting constraints. A systematic literature search, following the PRISMA guidelines for preparing systematic reviews, was performed through four electronic databases, and nine studies met the inclusion criteria. The quality of the selected studies was evaluated using STROBE, and an average score of 16.2 points was obtained. In these studies, the prevalence of the RAE in swimming was observed in more than half (58.65%) of the participants analysed, and the effect of the RAE was more accentuated in young categories (decreased as age increased and was inverted in older ones) and in male swimmers (double that in female swimmers).The impact of the RAE on competitive performance appeared to be related to the strength demands of the event, as the performance in simultaneous strokes, in shorter events, and of swimmers in the postadolescence period seems to be more affected by the RAE. These results indicate that the RAE in competitive swimming relies on individual and environmental (the swimmer’s age group and gender) but also task (the competitive events) determinants or limitations. This should serve as a guide for a more effective design of selection and development procedures for young athletes.

The Impact

Abstract Discussions of precarity in later life have tended to focus on the uncertainties of material resources, and the feelings of anxiety that this evokes (e.g., Lain et al. 2019) as some older people thus face the risk of being excluded from the broader society. Although scholars often point to inequalities, such as those based on class and gender, as having an influence on the likelihood of older people experiencing such precarity, ageism is considered only to the extent that it can exacerbate the impact of these statuses through, for instance, labor market experiences. Here, we expand upon the impact of ageism on the social aspects of precarity: the loss of recognition and respect as a person that is at the core of social bonds. Drawing on qualitative interviews we have conducted among Swiss, British, and U.S. older people who migrated to cheaper countries in retirement, we demonstrate that ageism can influence precarity regardless of classes. We find that even among wealthier older migrants, who otherwise might fit the image of the retiree seeking an active lifestyle in a sunny location, the attempt to escape the devaluation heaped upon older people in their original country plays an important role. In their new countries, retired migrants of all classes felt that they were valued and part of a community, and this differed from the ageism in their home countries. We thus argue that ageism be considered in future analyses of precarity in later life.

Dynamic Interplay

Comparing humanist pedagogical theory with grammar school archives, this article assesses the impact of Latin training on literary production, subjectivity, and gender in the Tudor period. The combined effect of theatricals as well as school training in impersonation and the rhetorical discipline ofactioinstilled a crucial, embodied connection between the Latin past and the social performance of gender. Yet several literary texts by former schoolboys reveal that the identifications unleashed by school training were not always as normatively “masculine” as teachers expected or modern critics assume. The article traces the dynamic interplay among Latinate verbal skill, embodied social performance, and struggles over social distinction. It demonstrates that when the authors of the period draw on the cultural capital of a Latin education, they reveal deep ambivalence about the very language training their schoolmasters claimed would work directly for the benefit of “the commonwealth.”
