Moral Concerns of Caregivers about Social Robots in Eldercare

Pressure on healthcare The Netherlands is an aging country. According to the Dutch Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis (CPB), the aging of the population will become evident in the next government’s term of office, i.e. 2022–2025, alongside an increase of healthcare costs with an annual average of 2.7% (CPB, 2019). This trend, with regard to an increasingly aging population, is set to continue in coming decades, and at its expected height in 2039, the Netherlands will have 4.6 million inhabitants aged 65 or older (CBS, 2018; CPB, 2019). In addition, elderly adults are also reaching older ages. In this way, the share of people over 80 has increased in 50 years from one in 74 to one in 25. According to the Dutch Central Agency for Statistics in their report Population, Gender and Age Forecast 2019–2060 (CBS, 2018), around 2050, one out of every ten people will belong to the group that we now count as the eldest

The aims of this research are to analyze the influence of implementation of BI-RTGS and implementation of Arsitektur Perbankan Indonesia (API) to economic growth and examine the percentage of contribution of assets, loans and third party fund to economic growth. This research is a case study in Indonesia using secondary data from the year 1988 until 2008 obtain from various published reports from Bank Indonesia and Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS). VAR, a time-series econometric model used in this study, estimating three banking indicators that are assets, loans and third party fund, economic growth average per capita at constant price 2000. Based on the two-stage data processing, the research reveals empirical evidence that technology affects the banking development and economic growth. This study support the research conducted by Levine (1997) that economic activity and technological innovation undoubtedly affect the structure and quality of financial system

Education of Indonesian Girls: The Outlook of Discrimination, Rights, and the Impact on Society

The purpose of this quantitative study is to investigate the education of Indonesian girls in terms of discrimination, awareness of their rights to education, and the wider impact on society. The level of discrimination was analysed using the data of girls’ educational attainment and comparing it to that of boys from low income families, obtained from the Central of Bureau Statistics (CBS) Indonesia in 2012. Awareness of rights to education was investigated using a survey with 100 participants. The result showed that in all levels of education boys had a higher level of attainment than girls. Furthermore, there are higher numbers of girls than boys in the uneducated category. Girls’ educational attainment is closely linked to the human development index which is representative of society. Additionally, girls’ awareness of their rights to education is still very low. Keywords: Educational Attainment of Girls, Discrimination, Rights to Education, Human Development Inde

Strongholding the Synagogue to Stronghold the City: Urban-Religious Configurations in an Israeli Mixed-City

This article explores the geopolitical significance of public religious institutions and the ways in which it has corresponded to changes in their urban environment. Based on a spatial analysis and ethnography of urban synagogues in the northern Israeli mixed city of Acre that were established and constructed by communities of Jewish immigrants from North African countries, we demonstrate how significant shifts in the city's demographic pattern and landscape have affected these institutions' ascribed functions and meanings. We theorise this dynamic as ‘strongholding’, or, more specifically, strongholding the synagogue as a means of strongholding the city. The formation of the synagogue as a stronghold is enacted through a dual configuration process by which the religious legitimacy, which the synagogue bestows on those who maintain it, is interwoven into a broader urban sociopolitical struggle to claim a presence in the city

Remittance, poverty and inequality: Micro-simulation for Nepal

This research addresses the question: Is the increase in migration and remittance the main driving force behind the reduction in poverty and the increase in inequality in Nepal? So, our study attempts to answer whether the increased migration and remittance is the main cause of decrease in poverty and increase in inequality in the case of Nepal by examining how differences in prevalence of migration and sources of remittances have diverse impacts on poverty (magnitude) and inequality (magnitude and direction) over time considering remittance as ‘potential substitute’. effects using balanced panel data of 962 households from two rounds of Nepal Living Standards Survey (NLSS) conducted by Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) of Nepal12, we apply fixed effects model to control of the household fixed effects in contrast to most of the previous studies that had used instrumental variables (IV) and Heckman Selection methods (see, for example, Lokshin, Bontch-Osmolovskim, & Glinskaya, 2007; Zhu & Luo, 2010) to control for the endogeneity of remittance income

Comparaison de la performance du point de vue empirique de systèmes de demandes alternatifs

Dans ce papier, quatre versions de systèmes de demande différentiels sont comparés sur le plan empirique : le système de Rotterdam, une version du système de demande quasi idéal (Almost Ideal Demand), le système du Bureau Central des Statistiques (CBS) et le système NBR. Ces systèmes possèdent des points en commun au niveau des variables explicatives, mais diffèrent sur le plan de la transformation non linéaire de la variable endogène. La méthode de McAleer (1983) du test par addition de variables dans le cas d’une équation est cette fois appliquée à des vecteurs d’équations dans lesquelles les variables dépendantes du système sont sujettes à des transformations non linéaires. Une caractéristique intéressante dans la procédure du test par addition de variables réside dans le fait que la condition d’additivité peut s’appliquer de manière simple. Des données annuelles sur la période 1921-1981 aux Pays-Bas sont utilisées pour l’étude empirique et consistent en quatre groupes principaux de dépenses de consommation de ménages. Parmi les principaux résultats des estimations, on trouve qu’aucun système ne domine les autres pour expliquer les données. En comparant chaque système, on trouve que le système CBS est celui qui fournit les résultats les meilleurs, le système NBR les moins bons et les deux autres systèmes se positionnent entre ces deux extrêmes. Néanmoins, la spécification des coefficients de prix dans le système de Rotterdam donne de meilleurs résultats que dans le système AID.In this paper four versions of differential demand systems are compared empirically: namely, the Rotterdam system, a version of the Almost Ideal Demand (AID) system, the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) system, and the NBR system. These systems share common right-hand sides but differ in the non-linear data transformations of the endogenous variable. The variable addition testing method of McAleer (1983) for single equations is extended to vectors of equations in which the dependent variables of competing systems are subject to non-linear data transformations. An appealing feature of the variable addition testing procedure is that it accommodates the adding-up condition in a straight-forward manner. Annual data over the period 1921-1981 for The Netherlands for four major groups of consumer expenditure are used in the empirical application. It is found that no single system is dominant in explaining the data. Relatively speaking, the CBS system performs the best and the NBR system the worst, with the other two systems occupying intermediate positions. The specification of the price coefficients of the Rotterdam system appears to be empirically superior to that of the AID system

Racial, ethnic and gender differentials in socio-economic status : the Israeli labor market case

In the present study, data from the Labor Force Surveys of Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) for the years 1990 and 2000 are used to examine the occupational segregation in the Israeli labor market based on the 5 ethnic sub-samples including European-American Jews, Asian-African Jews, Russian Jews, Native-Born Jews and Non-Jews who mainly represent the Arab citizens of Israel. The analysis is done separately for men and women to avoid interaction since men and women demonstrate different labor market characteristics in general and in Israel. OLS regression analysis and decomposition techniques are used to differentiate between the effects of human capital and labor credentials and the other factors on the socioeconomic gaps between different ethnic and racial groups. The results indicate that there are significant socioeconomic differences both among different Jewish groups and between Jewish and non-Jewish. Moreover the differences among the groups can only partially be explained by the differences in labor credentials of the groups.Sociolog
