Why are male students less likely to opt for social science courses? : a theory-driven analysis

Copyright © 2020 SageIn this article, we discuss the question of why only a few men decide to study social science courses such as social work. While the conceptual base of our analysis includes the theory of planned behaviour and theories centring on gender role orientations, the empirical base is a random cluster sample of high-school graduates in Switzerland. The results show different gender effects, as well as direct and indirect effects, for all the theory of planned behaviour factors. Gender role orientations and the question of how a social science profession fits one’s own gender identity appear to be of particular importance only among male students

Thermodynamic Properties of Yukawa-Schwarzschild Black Hole in Non-commutative Gauge Gravity

In this paper we construct a non-commutative gauge theory for the deformed metric corresponding to the modified structure of a gravitational field in the case of Yukawa-Schwarzschild non-commutative space-time. The thermodynamic properties and corrections to the gravitational force on the horizon of a non-commutative Yukawa-Schwarzschild black hole are analysed.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figure

GAMBARAN PENGETAHUAN IBU HAMIL TRIMESTER DALAM BERHUBUNGAN SEKSUAL SELAMA KEHAMILAN DI BPS UMMATUL CHOIRIYAH PEJANGGANAN SEMBAYAT KECAMATAN MANYAR KABUPATEN GRESIK

Adanya ketidaktahuan mengenai seksualitas selama kehamilan trimester I ini dapat menimbulkan kesalahan persepsi sehingga dapat mempengaruhi perilaku seksual yang menyebabkan gangguan psikis. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui ibu hamil trimester I dalam berhubungan seksual selama kehamilan di BPS Ummatul Choiriyah Pejangganan-Sembayat Kecamatan Manyar Kabupaten Gresik. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif, populasi dan sampel pada penelitian ini adalah semua ibu hamil trimester I di BPS Ummatul Choiriyah Pejangganan- Sembayat Kecamatan Manyar Kabupaten Gresik sebesar 24 orang. Pengambilan sampel secara total sampling. Variabel dalam penelitian ini adalah pengetahuan ibu hamil trimester I dalam berhubungan seksual selama kehamilan. Instrumen dalam penelitian ini menggunakan kuesioner. Data yang diperoleh diolah dengan editing, coding, scoring dan tabulating. Data yang disajikan dengan distribusi frekuensi dalam bentuk persentase Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan, responden mempunyai tingkat pengetahuan kurang (58,3%), tingkat pengetahuan cukup (33,4%), dan tingkat pengetahuan baik (8,3%) dalam berhubungan seksual selama kehamilan. Dari uraian diatas dapat disimpulkan bahwa sebagian besar tingkat pengetahuan responden kurang. Oleh karena itu bagi tenaga kesehatan di BPS Ummatul Choiriyah Pejangganan-Sembayat Kecamatan Manyar Kabupaten Gresik untuk lebih meningkatkan kinerja tenaga kesehatan dalam memberikan penyuluhan kepada ibu hamil trimester I tentang pemahaman dalam berhubungan seksual selama kehamilan

Minimality of invariant submanifolds in Metric Contact Pair Geometry

We study invariant submanifolds of manifolds endowed with a normal or complex metric contact pair with decomposable endomorphism field $\phi$. For the normal case, we prove that a $\phi$-invariant submanifold tangent to a Reeb vector field and orthogonal to the other one is minimal. For a $\phi$-invariant submanifold $N$ everywhere transverse to both the Reeb vector fields but not orthogonal to them, we prove that it is minimal if and only if the angle between the tangential component $\xi$ (with respect to $N$) of a Reeb vector field and the Reeb vector field itself is constant along the integral curves of $\xi$. For the complex case (when just one of the two natural almost complex structures is supposed to be integrable), we prove that a complex submanifold is minimal if and only if it is tangent to both the Reeb vector fields.Comment: To appear in "Ann.

Pengawasan Advokat: Upaya Menuju Profesionalisme

The following article tries to explain the existence of lawyer in Indonesia that regulated by the act no.18 year 2003. This act unifies many terminologies relating to lawyer/advocat. According to the writer of the article in this sense to reconstruct the frame of thought either the lawyers or the controllers of lawyer in law enforcement. If the reconstructing the mode of thought and the ethics of lawyer can be conducted, the existence the act of lawyer is very significant and benefit

Effective mass in quantum effects of radiation pressure

We study the quantum effects of radiation pressure in a high-finesse cavity with a mirror coated on a mechanical resonator. We show that the optomechanical coupling can be described by an effective susceptibility which takes into account every acoustic modes of the resonator and their coupling to the light. At low frequency this effective response is similar to a harmonic response with an effective mass smaller than the total mass of the mirror. For a plano-convex resonator the effective mass is related to the light spot size and becomes very small for small optical waists, thus enhancing the quantum effects of optomechanical coupling.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures, RevTe

Educational Expansion and Interest in Politics in Temporal and Cross-cultural Perspective: A Comparison of West Germany and Switzerland

Interest in politics is a prerequisite for political participation and political engagement. The promotion of political engagement and the education of citizens to become politically mature were basic concerns of educational reforms in the 1960s. This article examines whether educational expansion since then has had an impact on citizens' political interest. The effects of education, age, period, and cohort on political interest are analysed simultaneously. A cross-cultural perspective is included by comparing these effects in Switzerland, a direct democracy that provides its people with extensive opportunities to participate, and West Germany, a representative democracy with less such opportunities. The data base consists of cumulated data sets (ALLBUS, UNIVOX). Results show that there is a robust effect of education: the more educated are more politically interested. The younger generation is not, as is often suggested, more distant from politics. Taking into account their higher educational level, these younger cohorts show the same level of political interest as the older cohorts did at the same ag
