Terms of marriage and time-use patterns of young wives – Evidence from rural Bangladesh

This paper explores the relationship between marriage arrangements and daily activities of young married women, using detailed time-use data from an adolescent study in rural Bangladesh. Measures of marriage arrangement are payment of dowry and the relative wealth status of natal and marital families. The data were collected in three rural districts in 2001 and 2003. Using multivariate regression analysis, the results show that women’s time spent in domestic work, socializing, and self-care is significantly associated with marriage arrangement variables. Those who paid dowry spent more time in domestic work and less time in self-care relative to those who did not pay dowry. These patterns of association are similar to those the authors found in an earlier study between marriage arrangements and domestic violence, where paying dowry and marrying up are associated with greater violence. This paper contributes evidence regarding the non-market determinants of women’s time use patterns and highlights the contribution of marriage-related decisions to women’s well-being.Marriage, time use, Bangladesh, gender, leisure, work

Title IX and Social Media: Going Beyond the Law

The U.S. Department of Education is currently investigating over eighty colleges and universities for civil rights violations under Title IX. From a punitive standpoint, these investigations likely will have minimal impact. Indeed, since the Alexander v. Yale plaintiffs first conceived of Title IX in a sexual harassment context, the nondiscriminatory principles of Title IX have proven disappointingly difficult to enforce. However, in today’s world of grassroots social activism, Title IX has taken on a new, extralegal import. Title IX has become a rallying cry for college activists and survivors. Despite (or perhaps because of) its limitations as a law, it has prompted an unprecedented shift in the cultural landscape. In this Note, I will examine the evolution of Title IX as a means to combat sexual harassment and sexual assault on college campuses

The Relevance of Affective Information to the Semantic Representation of Social Groups

The ability to readily access social group representations and automatically categorize others as members of social groups plays a central role in our social lives. This ability helps us guide our behavior by providing a rich set of information about unknown individuals based on the existing knowledge stored in our semantic system. Neuropsychological studies reporting the presence of patients with dementia disproportionally impaired at processing social group knowledge, with spared knowledge about other categories, together with patients presenting the opposite pattern, led to propose that social groups might well be represented separately from categories such as animals, plants or objects. The organization of the semantic system in categories is consistent with several theories arguing that the relevance of the sensory and functional information, or features, forming a representation varies depending on the semantic category. The presence of a dissociation for social groups is however only accommodated by more recent theories that go beyond the simpler sensory/functional distinctions made by traditional models. Some of these theories suggest that for the representation of social groups a critical role is played by affective features. This hypothesis was corroborated by a study with brain tumor patients whose lexical semantic processing of social groups was affected by lesions of the left amygdala, insula and inferior frontal gyrus, all of which are also part of the brain network involved in processing affective information. However, beyond this finding, the empirical evidence in support of the affective features hypothesis put forward about social groups is to date relatively scarce. Thus, the aim of my dissertation is to provide the evidence of the greater relevance of affective features in social group representations by describing three original studies. First, I have reviewed the main theories of semantic memory and affect, and then I reported three original studies. In Study 1, by applying transcranial magnetic stimulation on the left inferior frontal gyrus, previously linked to processing negative affect, I showed a link between processing social group knowledge and this area. Results showed an increase in the speed at which negative social categories are categorized, without affecting responses to other stimuli. In Study 2, I reported that social category names are more susceptible to affective priming effects compared to nonsocial categories. The behavioral priming effect was also reflected in a late neural component measured via electroencephalography, where social group names displayed different amplitudes based on the affective congruence with the preceding prime. In Study 3 I documented that evaluative responses to social group names and pictures tend to be delayed compared to those towards nonsocial categories, despite no differences in categorical semantic access. Additionally, a multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) of the neural correlates associated with this evaluation highlighted a better decoding of affective content for social groups in both an early, and a late time window across input modalities. The findings reported in my thesis provide an affirmative answer to the hypothesized greater relevance of affective features in social group representations. I argue that such relevance is expressed in terms of an affect processing region contributing to their semantic categorization, a greater benefit from affective priming and an enhanced affective decoding. These results hopefully add valuable neuroscientific evidence about how social groups are represented, contributing towards the identification of their neural substrate and affective electrophysiological correlates in terms of response magnitude and temporal dynamics

May Williams Ward: Kansas Poet

The name of May Willie.ms Ward is synonymous with the growth of interest in poetry in the State of Kansas, for she has been writing here for thirty years. It has been the privilege of the writer of this thesis to be counted among the friends of Mrs. Ward during the last of these decades, when settings and themes other than Kansa s and its people have appeared frequently in her works She has taken thought of war and the world and evaluation of individuals known or imagined as themes of poetry. Yet in research through the whole body of her work, especially that of the twenties and thirties, the Kansas influence is found not only to be marked, but dominant; and in the last decade, too, it is a fundamental theme on which her whole philosophy is based. Long considered one of the foremost poets of Kansas, Mrs. Ward has gained prominence in the United States and recognition in England. Acceptance has come because of her ability to see the potentialities in everyday circumstances and persons. As a person, M.W.W. is many-sided, with norm.al interests and hobbies, but with perhaps a more than normal understanding of people. She has no children, but in such a poem as Garden Wedding she expresses an emotion many parents have, and the setting might be almost anywhere in America

Rules Regarding Mandatory Equity Securities Listing: Is It Possible for A Public Company Without Listing on The Indonesian Stock Exchange?

 ABSTRACTThe Financial Services Authority has issued the latest regulation in the Capital Market sector, namely the Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 3/POJK.04/2021 concerning the Implementation of Activities in the Capital Market Sector. This paper aims to conduct a more specific analysis regarding the mandatory elements for a company that will conduct a public offering to list its equity securities on the stock exchange. The initiation of the obligation to conduct equity securities listing is carried out in order to reduce the intensity of backdoor listing or efficient efforts towards Initial Public Offering activities by acquiring a company whose shares have been listed on the Stock Exchange. This article was compiled using a normative legal research method. Based on Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 3/POJK.04/2021, the Financial Services Authority through the Depository and Settlement Institution conducts electronic securities listing which is not part of the securities collective custody. The Depository and Settlement Institution checks the conformity of the Securities records in the Depository and Settlement Institution with the records in the Securities Administration Bureau or the Public Company which conducts its own Securities administration. The mandatory to be listed for the equity securities of a public company closes legal loopholes for companies that wish to become public company using a procedure that is not in accordance with the provisions of the prevailing laws and regulations.Keywords: registered; capital market; public company; securitie
