A comparison of British and American treaties with the Klallam
American and British (Hudsons Bay Company) treaties with the Klallam are compared and analyzed for the effects the policies had on culture change ca. 1850-1865. Also included in this study are discussions of aboriginal culture and ethnohistory to 1840\u27s, aboriginal villages and post-contact movements, and an overview of the present- day Klallam communities- Using ethnohistorical materials to determine culture change, it was found that the policies outlined in the American Treaty of Point-No-Point caused the Klallam in Washington Territory to change fairly rapidly while the policies instituted in the British Fort Victoria Treaties allowed the Klallam of Vancouver Island to remain nearer to an aboriginal state
Direkter und indirekter Energieeinsatz bei biologischen Betrieben unterschiedlicher Produktionsrichtungen
Die Produktionsrichtungen im Biologischen Landbau erfordern unterschiedlich hohe direkte und indirekte Energieaufwendungen. Indirekte Energieaufwendungen sind durch den Verzicht von synthetischen Dünger- und Pflanzenschutzmitteln geringer. Direkte Energieaufwendungen (Elektrizität und Kraftstoff) können systembedingt hoch sein, wodurch dort Ansätze der Einsparung oder/und Ersatz durch erneuerbare Energieträger (Pflanzenkraftstoffe, Strom aus Bioenergieanlagen) zu forcieren sind
“Gambling on the Economic Future of East St. Louis: The Casino Queen”
When the Casino Queen opened on the riverfront at East St. Louis, it was touted as a major contributor to the city\u27s economy. Has it been so
Bagarres de cours de récréation, socialisation enfantine et régulation des violences
International audienceThe playground is often seen as a violent place, governed by the law of the strongest. Empirical data, collected by observation of the playground, and directly with schoolchildren, based on interviews and questionnaires, however, lead to other analysis. Violence in primary school appears as an emerging form of power relationships between schoolchildren in child's world. Violence is governed by both a logic of domination and a cohesive logic, whose stake is the social recognition by peers. School fonctioning can contribute to produce this social recognition by peers, based on some of the values that underpin socialisation of children, and help to define the role of each in children hierarchies (sense of empowerment, demand for justice). Taking into account logical justice between schoolchildren could then promote a more peaceful regulation of children's relationshipsLa cour de récréation est souvent perçue comme un lieu de violence gratuite où règne la loi du plus fort. Les données empiriques recueillies par observation de la cour de récréation, et directement auprès d'écoliers, par entretiens et questionnaires, conduisent cependant à une autre analyse. La violence à l'école élémentaire apparaît alors comme la forme émergente des jeux et enjeux de pouvoir entre écoliers au sein des univers enfantins. Elle relève à la fois d'une logique de domination et d'une logique de cohésion, dont l'enjeu est celui de la reconnaissance sociale par les pairs. Le fonctionnement scolaire peut contribuer à la production de cette reconnaissance en s'appuyant sur certaines des valeurs qui fondent la socialisation enfantine et qui contribuent à définir la place de chacun dans les hiérarchies enfantines (volonté d'autonomie, exigence de justice...). La prise en compte de la spécificité des logiques de justice enfantines pourrait alors favoriser une régulation plus pacifiée des relations enfantines
Social Media Preferences of Individuals Seeking Graduate Business Degrees
The purpose of this thesis is to provide actionable insight to the Walton MBA Programs Office for a cohesive social media strategy that is inclusive of all audiences. This research hopes to help the Walton MBA program better understand potential and current students based on their social media behavior and learn how social media use has changed due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. This report will analyze the results of a survey crafted to better understand the social media preferences of individuals seeking graduate business degrees. From these, a social media marketing strategy can be created to tailor content to each platform based on each persona’s unique characteristics and social media behavior
Social Support and Modelling in Relation to Physical Activity Participation and Outdoor Play in Preschool Children
Physical activity during early childhood is a prerequisite for healthy development in many cases. The aim of this study was to assess the relationships of social modelling and support from parents, peers, and siblings and domain-specific physical activity participation in a nationwide sample of preschool boys and girls from Germany. 519 preschool children aged 4–6 and one of their parents participated in the ‘MoMo’ Wave 1 Study between 2009 and 2012. Participants and their parents provided self-reported data on social support modelling, and domain-specific physical activity participation (physical activity in sports clubs, physical activity outside of sports clubs, and outdoor play). Parental, peer, and sibling support and modelling were related to domain-specific physical activity: Parental support was particularly relevant for physical activity in sports clubs, and peer support for outdoor play. Parental modelling was only related to physical activity outside of sports clubs: Maternal modelling was a positive correlate in girls and paternal modelling in boys, respectively. Sibling and peer modelling were especially relevant for physical activity in sports clubs. The results were heterogeneous regarding types and providers of support and modelling. Thus, different providers and types of support should be targeted in physical activity promotion programs for preschool children
Prevention aspects for avoiding rollover incidents together for tractors, self-propelled harvesting and material handling machinery
Abstract: Tractors, self-propelled harvesting and material handling machines are the most commonly used self-propelled machineries in Austrian agriculture that have similarities in main rollover incident causes. The aim of this study was to present sustainable prevention measures against rollovers together for tractors, self-propelled harvesting and material handling machinery based on a new machine evaluation, manufacturer surveys and a literature research. New machines were investigated concerning their compliance with legal regulations and concerning their current rollover prevention equipment. By interviewing manufacturers of tractors, self-propelled harvesting machinery and material handling machinery, the challenges with implementing safety measures and the opportunities for rollover incident prevention were worked out. In addition a literature research on rollover prevention measures was done. All new vehicles analyzed were equipped with a rollover protective structure as standard equipment. The manufacturer survey showed that all cabins for tractors were ROPS tested and that ROPS requirements were not adequately implemented on self-propelled harvesters. The technical possibilities to reduce the rollover risk together for tractors, self-propelled harvesting machinery and material handling machinery were the rollover protective structure, the safety belt, the general chassis concept, a weight sensor, driver assistance systems, and rollover warning devices. New ITC-based technologies like sensor tools for showing the stability condition of the vehicle can prevent a rollover, but the driver’s inhibitions to face more dangerous situations are thereby increased. Keywords: agricultural machinery, rollover, prevention, manufacturer survey, machine evaluatio
Scenarios and causes of rollover incidents with self-propelled agricultural machinery in Austria
Rollovers are the most common incidents with tractors, self-propelled harvesting and agricultural materials handling machinery in Austrian agriculture. The precise identification of rollover incident scenarios and causes with these vehicles is the aim of the study. In order to achieve this, incident victims were interviewed and incident reports were analysed. To derive information from report and interview material the qualitative content analysis was used. The analysis showed that rollovers with tractors, self-propelled harvesting machinery and materials handling machinery showed similarities in terms of causes, circumstances and consequences although they are quite different in vehicle concept, operation and use. The rollovers were mostly influenced by the work tasks and the environmental conditions. Incorrect or inappropriate vehicle use by the driver and technical defects were also important incident causes. It was possible to work out seven conjoint main causes and 15 subcauses that were categorized in a structured class system. Keywords: incident, agricultural machinery, rollover, victim survey, content analysi
Broccolichi, S., Joigneaux, C. et Mierzejewski, S. (dir.). (2017). Le parcours du débutant. Enquêtes sur les premières années d’enseignement à l’école primaire
Au cours des trois dernières décennies, la multiplication des réformes de l’enseignement et de la formation des enseignants a eu pour résultat un cadre hautement ambitieux, qui prescrit le développement de compétences sans cesse plus nombreuses chez les professeurs des écoles. Simultanément, alors que leurs missions se complexifient autour de la prescription officielle de la « réussite pour tous », on observe depuis plus d’une décennie, une baisse des performances scolaires en France ainsi qu..
