Non-parental caregivers, parents, and the school readiness of the children of Latino/a immigrants
School readiness generally predicts trajectories of academic achievement over time, motivating efforts to support the development of school readiness skills by expanding access to and improving the quality of early childhood care and education. One dimension of early childhood care and education concerns the beliefs that non-parental caregivers (e.g. preschool teachers, relatives, child care providers) in these settings have about school readiness and how these beliefs may differ from parent beliefs. Non-parental caregivers’ beliefs—and their alignment with parents’ beliefs—may be especially significant for certain segments of the child population, namely children of Latino/a immigrant parents in the U.S., who are overrepresented among students who enter school with underdeveloped academic skills and whose parents may not have the resources nor the familiarity with the U.S. education system to know what schools will expect of their children upon school entry. Latino/a immigrant parents and their children, therefore, may be more influenced by the school readiness beliefs of non-parental caregivers than other groups. This study uses the Early Childhood Longitudinal Survey-Birth Cohort (ECLS-B) to investigate whether non-parental early caregivers’ beliefs about school readiness and their alignment with parental beliefs are associated with children’s achievement test scores at kindergarten entry—in general and especially among the children of Latino/a immigrant parents.Sociolog
Hypergraph polynomials and the Bernardi process
Recently O. Bernardi gave a formula for the Tutte polynomial of a
graph, based on spanning trees and activities just like the original
definition, but using a fixed ribbon structure to order the set of edges in a
different way for each tree. The interior polynomial is a generalization of
to hypergraphs. We supply a Bernardi-type description of using a
ribbon structure on the underlying bipartite graph . Our formula works
because it is determined by the Ehrhart polynomial of the root polytope of
in the same way as is. To prove this we interpret the Bernardi process as a
way of dissecting the root polytope into simplices, along with a shelling
order. We also show that our generalized Bernardi process gives a common
extension of bijections (and their inverses) constructed by Baker and Wang
between spanning trees and break divisors.Comment: 46 page
UNSUR MAGIS DALAM EMPAT ANIME KARYA MIYAZAKI HAYAO PRODUKSI STUDIO GHIBLI 宮崎駿が作った四つのスタジオジブリのアニメにおける魔法の要素
ABSTRACT
Muriyati, Lilla. 2017. “Magical Element in Four Animes of Miyazaki Hayao by Ghibli Studio”. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor Degree of Japanese Literature, Diponegoro University. 1st Advisor Laura Andri R. M, S.S., MA, 2nd Advisor Fajria Noviana, S.S, M.Hum.
In this research, the writer decribes about “Magical Element in Four Animes of Miyazaki Hayao by Ghibli Studio”. The writer decided to use this title because anime produced by Ghibli studio are popular with its simple story flow but represent some problems appears in Japanese life society. Moreover, the production of these animation films is absolutely present a real life scene from the society like religious side, legends, myths, also magical event believed by the people. However, often the audience do not really put attention to that and ignore some signs appears in that film so the purpose of this research is to make the audience understand so the message of the films are completely conveyed.
The initial step that has been done by the writer was collecting some facts from various resources to be analyzed the characterization and socio-cultural background of the films by using cinematographic theory and trikotomi theory along with triadic triangle from Pierce’s semiotic to classify the appear icon,index and symbol.
Some characters and phenomenon appear in thesefour film are representation of icon, index, and also symbols of gods and spirit inspired by Japanese People’s belief.

Is there more than one linkage between Social Network and Inequality?
The paper aims to analyse how income inequality affects social networks strength in fourteen European Countries. We introduce some new evidences by using the ECHP for testing the networks-inequality nexus and being able to construct directly inequality indices from the microdata as well their decomposition. In particular, we focus on two main point: firstly, we analyse how total income inequality could be related to social network; secondly, we introduce the "clustered network" definition, by decomposing total income inequality based on the education level. We test the existence of a pluralism linkage between Social Network and Inequality and many results confirm that the linkage is neither unambiguous nor unidirectional. We introduce and stress some important issue. First, we use dierent levels of social network: narrow, wide and anonymous; second, we use different inequality indexes (different sensitiveness to changes at different part of the income distribution); third, the ambiguous linkage could be explained on one hand by the positive role of emulation and reciprocity behaviors and on the other hand by negative ones of the envy, amoral familism and keeping up with the Joneses mechanisms. Finally, we stress the different roles of within and between components of inequality. Our idea is that higher income inequality - related to the changing education premia - could affect social network formation among individuals through two different channels: higher inequality among dierent educated ind ividuals could raise (clustered networks), while higher inequality among similars could halt the social networks.Social Network ; Inequality ; Clustered Network ; Envy ; Emulation
