Time Packages and Their Effect on Life Satisfaction

The expected response of individuals to policy changes usually requires that they use their resources in a different way, according to the changed relative opportunity cost of undertaking each that the policy effects. However, it has often been noted that the allocation of time to different activities does not respond smoothly, and rather appears to be influenced by a range of non economic factors that lead to opportunity costs and trade-offs being different for different individuals, depending not just on the constraints they face, but also on the activities they are already ‘specialised’ at. In this paper we use the British Household Panel Survey to examine how time packages - the allocation of weekly hours to a combination of paid and unpaid work and leisure - affect life satisfaction, and the marginal returns from additional hours spent in paid work, overtime, caring and housework. We observe that for men in general, the marginal benefits of an additional hour of paid work, or extra work (in the form of overtime or a second job) are positive, while an additional hour of caring has a negative effect on life satisfaction. For men who are leisure rich, however, the marginal benefits of an additional hour of housework are positive. Leisure rich men appear to gain satisfaction from doing housework, in a way that other men do not. The same applies to women. Women are in general less satisfied by taking on overtime or second jobs, presumably preferring to use that discretionary time at home in leisure pursuits or with children. For women doing full-time paid work, the marginal effect of an additional hour of extra work (overtime or a second job) is negative; for women already stretched by full-time paid work, extra hours are an unwelcome burden. We discuss the role that different kinds of constraints, including gender attitudes, play in determining our results and the implications for policy design.happiness, time use

Kesimpulannya adalah pemahaman hasil belajar “Menyiapkan dan Mengolah Hidangan Penutup Panas dan Dingin (Hot and Cold Dessert)” sebagai kesiapan Praktik Pengolahan Makanan Kontinental di SMKN 1 Pacet berada pada kategori cukup. Saran ditujukan kepada peserta didik agar menambah pengetahuan yang telah didapat dengan membaca buku maupun dari sumber lain seperti internet dan kepada guru agar memotivasi proses pembelajaran dan menambahkan materi pembelajaran. Kata kunci : Pemahaman, “Menyiapkan dan Mengolah Hidangan Penutup Panas dan Dingin (Hot and Cold Dessert)”, Praktik, Pengolahan Makanan Kontinental This research is motivated by the understanding of the competence “Preparing and Processing Hot and Cold Dessert" as the readiness of Continental Food Processing practices that students are expected to give an overview of learning results this competence. Purpose of research was to determine the students understanding includes the preparation stage, processing stage and presentation stage in the manufacture of bread pudding, choux paste, and mousse as apractice the readiness of Continental Food Processing. The method used is descriptive method. Population are 70 students of class XI, number of samples are 35 with simple random sampling technique. The results showed that the understanding of the learning result “Preparing and Processing Hot and Cold Dessert” in the preparation stage in sufficient criteria (48) at the processing stage in sufficient criteria (49), and presentation stage in suffient criteria (58). Conclusion is understanding of the learning result" Preparing and Processing Hot and Cold Dessert" as the readiness of Continental Food Processing Practices in SMKN 1 Pacet in sufficient category. Suggestion addressed to students to be increase the knowledge of which has been obtained by reading a book or from other sources such as the internet and the teachers so that motivate the learning process and add to the learning material.

ATOMIC-LEVEL MECHANISMS OF FAST RELAXATION IN METALLIC GLASSES

Glasses are ubiquitous in daily life and have unique properties which are a consequence of the underlying disordered structure. By understanding the fundamental processes that govern these properties, we can modify glasses for desired applications. Key to understanding the structure-dynamics relationship in glasses is the variety of relaxation processes that exist below the glass transition temperature. Though these relaxations are well characterized with macroscopic experimental techniques, the microscopic nature of these relaxations is difficult to elucidate with experimental tools due to the requirements of timescale and spatial resolution. There remain many questions regarding the microscopic nature of relaxation in glass including the role of defects, determination of subsets of atoms that cause the relaxations, the time/space correlations and how low energy activations occur in the potential energy landscape (PEL). To give new insight into these questions we use classical molecular dynamics (MD) to mimic experimental techniques of mechanical perturbation by sinusoidally shearing a model Cu65Zr35 metallic glass. We then uniquely combine this technique with the concept of atomic-level stresses to identify the viscoelastic character of each atom during a cycle of sinusoidal straining. Using results from these techniques, we examine the microscopic nature of relaxation phenomena below the glass transition temperature, examining the transient nature, temperature dependence of said transience and spatial correlation of mechanical loss. We demonstrate the surprising transient nature of relaxation, the spatial correlation of mechanical loss and the low energy barriers on the order of 1meV that represent the ripples in the bottom of the PEL. These new insights into the microscopic nature of relaxation get us closer to being able to tune the properties of glass reliant on relaxation phenomena

Cross-racial/Cross-gender Mentoring of School Administrators

Abstract The purpose of this study is to determine the perceived effectiveness of the professional mentoring which female African American school administrators and other school administrators have received from their school district, examining the cross-racial and cross-gender pairings of mentors and mentees. After an extensive review of the literature, a cross-sectional, self-reporting attitudinal survey was designed. The survey began with a section of closed-ended questions to gather demographic information. The second section gathered information about the mentoring experience using a Likert scale. The final section consisted of one open-ended question about mentoring effectiveness. The survey was distributed to all certified and non-certified administrators in a large Midwestern school district who participated in a district-led formal mentoring program. Seventy percent of the administrators completed and returned the survey. The results of the survey indicate no significant differences in perceived mentoring impact in cross-racial or cross-gender pairs of mentors and mentees. This is important for school districts which face increasingly diverse staff and student populations in the future

A Comparison of School-Based and Clinic-Based Interventions for the Prevention and Control of Childhood Obesity

In the United States, obesity is becoming an ever increasing problem, especially among youth. The prevalence of adult obesity-related health complications, until recently were only seen in adults, are arising within the youth population. The increasing rate of childhood obesity is of public health importance; if not properly dealt with now, the current generation of children will grow up and face serious health complications both in their late childhood and adult years.To address this epidemic, two approaches that can be utilized are school-based and clinical based interventions. Even though each type of intervention takes place in a different setting, the same basic principles of nutrition education, healthy eating and physical activity are addressed. While each of the two types of interventions has strengths and weaknesses, the overall goals of both school-based and clinic-based interventions are a reduction in weight and increase in the health of the children participating in the intervention
