Housing wealth and accumulation: Home ownership experiences of African Caribbean families migrating to Birmingham and London in the period 1950-1970

The housing wealth experiences of ethnic minority home owners is relatively unexplored within the UK literature. This thesis makes a contribution to this field by exploring the experiences of African Caribbean post war families. There are a number of original points of departure to this literature that this study makes. Links are made with Caribbean migration and social anthropology literatures in developing fresh perspectives on the study of housing wealth among this group. The study avoids treating housing wealth in isolation from other networks within African Caribbean communities. Instead it develops a single asset network that positions housing wealth within a broader resource framework used to interpret home ownership careers and return migration planning. The study incorporates literature drawn from cultural consumption theory in exploring values and meanings attached to inheritances in the UK and Caribbean. An original methodological contribution is made in the use of life history methods in exploring consumption and transmission of housing wealth across two generations of the same family. The 13 families included in the study are drawn from Birmingham and London. The findings suggest that there is a complex interaction of networks used throughout home ownership careers. Informal financial networks in the form of intergenerational exchanges are used in supporting younger family members at the start of home ownership careers. There is evidence that inheritance of ‘family land’ in the Caribbean provided a focus for the investment of UK housing wealth to facilitate return migration. Other forms of housing wealth leakage took place, with evidence of investments in second homes in the Caribbean, kinship networks and entrepreneurial activity. This investment of UK housing assets in second homes across the Caribbean region suggests the creation of ‘transnational housing markets’

Introduction: Household Finances under Pressure: What is the Role of Social Policy?

This themed issue examines household finances within the context of the 2007 banking crisis, which triggered the biggest downturn in many global economies since the Great Depression in the 1930s. The effects of this crisis and subsequent global recession were still unfolding at the time the articles of this issue were submitted to the journal. The election of the coalition government in May 2010, and its emergency budget aimed at reducing the nation's budget deficit, precipitated the biggest reduction in public sector funding in living memory. Rising unemployment and the increasing cost of living means that for many households even greater strain has been placed on their finances. Other developments, such as the winding-up of the Treasury Financial Inclusion Taskforce and the axing of asset building policies, for example the Child Trust Fund and Saving Gateway, had, to some, signalled an end to the consensus in government that had been built up around the financial inclusion agenda, and had left a big gap in social policy.</jats:p

Piecewise-linear promotion and RSK in rectangles and moon polyominoes

We study piecewise-linear and birational lifts of Sch\"utzenberger promotion, evacuation, and the RSK correspondence defined in terms of toggles. Using this perspective, we prove that certain chain statistics in rectangles shift predictably under the action of these maps. We then use this to construct piecewise-linear and birational versions of Rubey's bijections between fillings of equivalent moon polyominoes that preserve these chain statistics, and we show that these maps form a commuting diagram. We also discuss how these results imply Ehrhart equivalence and Ehrhart quasi-polynomial period collapse of certain analogues of chain polytopes for moon polyominoes

Her House, His Pension? The Division of Assets Among (Ex-) Couples and the Role of Policy

Despite increasing interest in household assets and debts, little is known about the way these are distributed and controlled within couples. Our understanding of these issues is important in social policy not least because some areas of policy (e.g. social security means-tests) assume that all couples, whether married/civil partnered or not, share assets equally, whereas other areas of policy, such as the law around intestacy or separation/divorce, make very different assumptions about married/civil partnered couples compared with cohabiting couples. But is there a difference between these couples or not? And are the assumptions made about each type of couple accurate? Our research suggests that the division of assets within couples is complex with formal, legal ownership of assets (housing, pensions, savings) and debts not always matching participants’ ‘perceptions’ of who owns them. And while there does seem to be a difference between cohabiting and married couples, there is also variation within these couples as other factors also influence the division of assets.</jats:p

ANALISIS BAKTERIOLOGI AIR DAN KONDISI FISIK SUMUR GALI DI SEKITAR LOKASI TPA SUMOMPO KECAMATAN TUMINTING KOTA MANADO

Salah satu jenis sarana penyediaan air bersih yang banyak digunakan oleh masyarakat adalah sumur gali. Keberadaan timbunan sampah dari TPA berdampak adanya indikasi pencemaran, dimana ada kemungkinan ada air lindi meresap dalam tanah dan dapat masuk ke dalam sumur-sumur penduduk disekitar TPA. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis kandungan bakteriologi air sumur dan kondisi fisik sumur gali di sekitar lokasi TPA Sumompo Kecamatan Tuminting Kota Manado. Jenis penelitian ini adalah Deskriptif. Penelitian ini dilakukan di TPA Sumompo pada bulan Februari - Mei 2018. Jumlah sumur gali yang diperiksa berjumlah 12 sumur. Sampel diperiksa di laboratorium BTKL-PP Kelas 1 dan BARISTAND Manado. Variabel dalam penelitian ini adalah bakteriologi air dan kondisi fisik sumur gali di sekitar lokasi TPA sumompo kecamatan tuminting kota manado. Kandungan Total Koliform kemudian dibandingkan dengan baku mutu air dalam PERMENKES RI No. 32 Tahun 2017, dimana ambang batas untuk total koliform yang diperbolehkan yaitu 50 MPN/ 100 mL. Hasil Total koliform air sumur gali di sekitar lokasi TPA berturut-turut sebesar 48 MPN/100 mL, > 1600 MPN/100 mL, > 1600 MPN/100 mL, 47 MPN/100 mL, > 1600 MPN/100 mL, > 1600 MPN/100 mL, > 1600 MPN/100 mL, 220 MPN/100 mL, 220 MPN/100 mL, 11 MPN/100 mL, 13 MPN/100 mL dan 79 MPN/100 mL. Terdapat 4 Sumur gali yang memenuhi syarat dan 8 lainnya tidak memenuhi syarat dari aspek total koliform air. Dari hasil penelitian ini disimpulkan bahwa seluruh sumur tidak memenuhi syarat kesehatan berdasarkan aspek kondisi fisik sumur gali. Sumur gali yang berada di dekat TPA Sumompo cenderung mengandung total koliform yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan sumur gali yang jauh.Kata Kunci: Tempat Pengolahan Akhir Sampah, Total Koliform, Sumur Gali.ABSTRACTOne type of clean water supply facilities that are widely used by the community is a well dug. The presence of waste dumps from the landfill has an indication of pollution where there is a possibility that water leachate permeates the soil and can enter the wells of residents around the landfill. The objective to be achieved in this research is to analyze the bacteriological content of the well water and the physical condition of the dug wells around the Sumompo TPA landfill in Tuminting Sub-district, Manado City. The type of this research is Descriptive. This research was conducted in TPA Sumompo, conducted in February - May 2018. The number of dug wells examined amounted to 12 wells spread around TPA. Samples were examined in laboratory BTKL-PP Class 1 and BARISTAND Manado. The variables in this research are water bacteriology and physical condition of dug wells around the Sumompo landfill site of tuminting district of Manado city. Total content of Koliform then compared with water quality standard in PERMENKES RI No. 32 Year 2017, where the permissible limit for total coliform is 50 MPN / 100 mL. Results The total coliform of dug wells around the landfill site were 48 MPN / 100 mL,> 1600 MPN / 100 mL,> 1600 MPN / 100 mL, 47 MPN / 100 mL,> 1600 MPN / 100 mL,> 1600 MPN / 100 mL,> 1600 MPN / 100 mL, 220 MPN / 100 mL, 220 MPN / 100 mL, 11 MPN / 100 mL, 13 MPN / 100 mL and 79 MPN / 100 mL. From the results of this study concluded that there are 4 wells that qualify and 8 others do not meet the requirements of the total aspect of coliform water. The entire well does not meet the health requirements based on the physical aspects of the dug wells. Dug wells near the Sumompo TPA tend to contain a higher total of coliforms than dug wells that are far from landfill.Keywords: Landfill, Total Koliform, Dug Well
