Gender and the labour market in South East England. Volume 2: employers’ policies and practices

This research on gender and the labour market in South East England was funded by the South East of England Development Agency/European Social Fund. In volume 1 we set out the context: theoretical explanations for gender equality, the legal framework and organisational factors. Moreover, using a range of published data, we answered the first of our research questions: how does the labour market position of women in the government region of the South East of England compare with that of both men in the South East and that of women in Great Britain/United Kingdom? In this volume we turn our attention to our other research questions: • What policies and practices do employers in South East England adopt in respect of gender equality? • What barriers do employers and women employees in South East England identify in respect of gender and employment

The aim of this study was to examine whether, and how, residents living in residential aged care homes become involved in their care, and what areas of their care and life they work to influence or negotiate

Effects of the toxins of the ectoproct, Lophopodella carteri, on oxygen consumption in gill tissues of the bluegill, Lepomis macrochirus

Large and small bluegill, Lepomis macrochirus, were exposed to homogena tes of Lophopodella carteri, an ectoproct that contains substances toxic to some gilled vertebrates. Oxygen consumption tests on the excised gill tissues of the bluegill indicated that the ectoproct toxins caused a lowering of oxygen consumption of the gill tissues. Oxygen consumption of the gill tissues of the smaller fish was reduced to a greater extent than that of larger fish. An inverse relationship was found be tween the temperature of the medium and the period of time for death to occur. It is proposed that the toxins cause physiological damage to gill tissues and reduce their ability to conduct aerobic oxidation and thus ionic transport

A Data Mining Approach To identify Diabetes

Mounting amounts of data made traditional data analysis methods impractical. Data mining (DM) tools provide a useful for alternative framework that addresses this problem. This study follows a DM technique to identify diabetic patients. We develop a model that clusters diabetes patients of a large healthcare company into different subpopulation. Consequently, we show the value of applying a DM model to identify diabetic patients
