Geography Matters: Explaining Education Inequalities of Latvian Children in England
This article explores the issue of "geography of education" focusing on the pivotal contribution of place to one's education. The geographic location of schools and the administrative organisation of local authorities that are responsible for state schools in England create sociospatial inequalities that are associated with individual life‐course trajectories and can contribute to the intergenerational transfer of disadvantage. This article focuses on Latvian migrant families for whom better status often can be achieved through being included in the education system of the country. Therefore, the educational achievement of the children who speak Latvian at home but live and attend schools in England is the main focus of this article. The academic attainment of these children is well below not only the national average across all levels of compulsory education but also compared to both monolingual English speakers and all pupils speaking English as an additional language. The article provides evidence that in addition to the sociodemographic individual and family‐level factors geography also plays a significant role in explaining the educational achievement gaps. As the descriptive quantitative analysis of the geographical and educational data indicates, Latvian children are disproportionally present in local authorities where there is a relatively high proportion of low‐quality schools, a higher‐than‐average proportion of individuals with low qualifications and those in low‐qualified jobs
Online Medical Appointment Scheduling System
[EN] The accessibility to services of web clinic is of utmost importance for success of any
companies. Internet is a great way to make a clinic known to a large number of people that
might potentially be interested in the services that the clinic might provide. Therefore, a creation
of a website that would provide different information about the clinic and allow the
management and scheduling of appointments online might benefit in many ways to an existing
clinic.
In order to minimize the costs and time needed to develop, deploy and maintain the website
for appointments, different researches have to be conducted until finding the optimal
technologies to be used in the process. While researching we found out the existence of CMS
systems that potentially reduce the cost and time spent of all the three steps spoken before. The
different technologies, such as webserver, programming language and DBMS to be used, were
chosen in base of what CMS was chosen. The interest fell on WordPress, one of the most used
systems worldwide, which is very easy to use and maintain. The resulting system allows current
and future patients to easily make appointments with different doctors of the clinic 24 hours a
day, 365 days of the year. In addition, this allows to unload the clinic’s staff from a lot of work
that had to be done before the website creation.[ES] La accesibilidad a los servicios de una empresa a través de la web es de suma importancia
para el éxito de cualquier empresa. Internet es un gran medio para conseguir que una clínica
médica sea conocida por un gran número de personas que potencialmente podrían estar

página web que proporcione toda la información necesaria sobre la clínica y permita la gestión
de citas online puede beneficiar de muchas maneras a una clínica.
Con el fin de minimizar los costos y el tiempo necesarios para desarrollar, implementar y
mantener el sitio web para las citas, hemos realizado diferentes investigaciones hasta encontrar
las tecnologías óptimas a utilizar. Durante la investigación nos dimos cuenta de la existencia de
sistemas CMS que potencialmente reducen el costo. Las diferentes tecnologías, como servidor
web, lenguaje de programación y base de datos a utilizar, se eligieron a partir del sistema CMS
elegido: WordPress. El sistema resultante permite que los pacientes actuales y futuros realicen
fácilmente las citas con los doctores de la clínica 24 horas al día, los 365 días del año. Esto
además permite descargar de mucho trabajo a los trabajadores de la clínica.Cara Rudnic, O. (2017). Online Medical Appointment Scheduling System. http://hdl.handle.net/10251/88831.TFG
