Abstract:
This research explores the role of symbolization in educational activity in children of late preschool and early school age. The aim of the research was to compare the efficiency of using sign and symbolic means (i.e. schemes and models) in the learning of some new content in preschool and early school age. The study involved 46 children of late preschool age from one of the Moscow kindergartens, 20 girls and 26 boys (M = 78 months); and 25 first grade students of one of the Moscow schools, 16 girls and 9 boys (M = 101 months). The study consisted of the following stages: carrying out tests of mental abilities and dividing the subjects into two sub¬groups within each age group (that is, two subgroups of preschool children and two subgroups of school chil¬dren) with equal levels of development of the explored abilities; conducting developmental lessons aimed at making the children familiar with phenomena characterizing phase transitions in states of aggregation of mat¬ter — with the help of symbolic means (in the experimental group) or sign means (in the control group); carrying out a posttest, that is, measuring the level of development of the concepts of aggregate states in all sub¬groups. The outcomes of the research indicated that symbolization may actually be an effective means of con¬structing learning content both in preschool and in early school age.

Abstract:
Counting money and making change are often difficult concepts for students in the primary grades to grasp. Boys and girls often do not comprehend the relative values of the coins and how to combine these values to determine amounts of money. This problem often seems to exist even when students are able to give the name of the coins and their individual value by rote memory.

Abstract:
In accordance with United Nations’ sustainable development goal in achieving gender equality and to empower all women and girls, this paper investigates gender equality and power in marital relationship. Using Resource Theory of Power as a conceptual framework, this paper examines the distribution of marital power among married couples. More specifically, this paper examines to what extent do married couples use money as a bargaining tool to negotiate for more control in two areas: (1) managing economic resources and (2) household decision making. Forty married couples from urban Sarawak were located and interviewed. Results indicate that apart from money, marital power is affected by more influential factors such as ideologies and religious teachings. Consequently, having more money does not necessarily mean having more control over the decision making as decision making in a marriage is often guided by prescribed gender roles in accordance to one’s ideologies, cultural and religious teachings. Hence, gender equality in the management of economic resources and decision making within a household can only occur when an increase in women’s resources is combined with changes in gender roles and ideologies.

Abstract:
Optimum selections of landslide scheme and scientific treatment are of great theoretical and practical importance to avoid or reduce the unnecessary loss of life and money. In this study, we shall first briefly introduce a Probability Dominance Decision-Making model to evaluate the effectiveness degree of landslide scheme considering the weights of relationship between decision attributes. Firstly, several meas-ured indicators of landslide control (Total Project Investment U1, Construction Difficulty U2, etc.) are selected as key impacting indicators to appraise alternative schemes correctly. Moreover, the attribute values of inter-val information for each landslide scheme is defined, and then the Attribute Dominance Relation is proposed to solve the index weights as well as the problem of unknown attribute weight in landslide control schemes. Next, the attribute weight values are ranked and picked by the dominance index relationship between the de-cision schemes and overall schemes. Simultaneously, this paper analyzed the probability decision making problem of using attribute value as Interval Number. In this procedure, we introduced the detailed derivation and analyzed the same and different points between the proposed model with the Deviation Maximization Al-gorithm. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the model.

Abstract:
The article examines the role of the family in the formation of the attitude towards money. The circumstances of family financial conflicts are investigated. The cases of financial contradictions in the parental family are analyzed. (based on the memories of an adult about his childhood. Situations where either emotional or rational aspect prevailed in financial decision-making are investigated. Special aspects of financial behavior strategies, attitudes to spending and investments are clarified. The conclusions are made that the usual emotional schemes about money are passed from generation to generation. Getting into a conflict of loyalty between parents “there and then”, a person may experience conflicting feelings about money “here and now”. Money, difficulties in relationships, power struggles, recognition – can be the cause and the reason of conflicts, as well as the undifferentiated complex of feelings, emotions, expectations and interpretations.

Abstract:
AbstrakSalah satu agenda utama bagi pembangunan nasional adalah sektor ekonomi, khususnya kewirausahaan. Oleh karena itu, pada beberapa skim pengabdian kepada masyarakat peningkatan sektor kewirausahaan atau UMKM digalakkan untuk dapat dikembangankan kepada masyarakat. Harapannya, dengan munculnya pewirausaha-pewirausaha baru, sektor ekonomi masyarakat tumbuh dan semakin mapan, maka sektor lainya seperti pendidikan dan kesehatan dapat semakin terjamin. Berbagai pihak diharapkan menjadi agent of change bagi peningkatan di sektor ekonomi dan UMKM ini. Melalui program KKN PPM, tim Universitas Muhammadiyah Metro mencoba menjadi agen untuk menumbuhkan pewirausaha-pewirausaha baru dengan target khusus yaitu pemuda-pemudi di Kampung Pujokerto Kecamatan Trimurjo Lampung Tengah. Alasan dipilihnya lokasi ini adalah karena sebagian besar pemuda dan pemudi di Kampung ini merupakan petani turun temurun, yang dipandang dari sisi orientasi kewirausahaannya masih cukup rendah. Metode yang dilaksanakan pada pengabdian ini adalah pendekatan secara personal, FGD, studi banding, dan pelaksanaan kewirausahaan. Hasil pengabdiannya adalah terbentuknya kelompok kewirsausahaan berbasis pemuda yang diberinama Usaha Muda Mudi Mandiri (UM3) dan terciptanya usaha bagi kelompok berupa budi daya pembesaran dan pembenihan ikan lele, serta pelatihan pembuatan souvenir pernikahan berbahan Tali Kur.Kata Kunci: Kewirausahaan berbasis Pemuda, Kelompok wirausaha pemuda, KKN PPMAbstrakOne of the main agendas for national development is the economic sector, especially entrepreneurship. Therefore, in some community service schemes, the entrepreneurship sector or MSME sector enhancement is encouraged so that it can be developed in the community. The hope is that with the emergence of new entrepreneurs, the economic sector of society will grow and become more established, so that other sectors such as education and health can be more secure. Various parties are expected to become agents of change for improvement in the economic sector and MSMEs. Through the KKN PPM program, the University of Muhammadiyah Metro team tries to become an agent to grow new entrepreneurs with a special target, namely young people in Pujokerto Village, Trimurjo District, Central Lampung. The reason for choosing this location is because most of the youth and girls in this village are hereditary farmers, which is considered from the perspective of their entrepreneurial orientation is still quite low. The method used in this service is a personal approach, FGD, comparative studies, and the implementation of entrepreneurship. The result of this dedication was the formation of a youth-based entrepreneurship group called Usaha Muda Mudi Mandiri (UM3) and the creation of a business for the group in the form of raising and hatching catfish, as well as training in making wedding souvenirs from Tali Kur.Keywords: Youth-based entrepreneurship, youth entrepreneur groups, KKN PPM

Abstract:
ABSTRACTHigh prevalence of teenage pregnancy in low-income countries impacts health, social, economic, and educational situations of teenage girls. To acquire better understanding of factors leading to high prevalence of teenage pregnancy in rural Lindi region, Tanzania, we explored perspectives of girls and key informants by conducting a facility-based explorative qualitative study according to the grounded theory approach. Participants were recruited from Mnero Diocesan Hospital using snowball sampling, between June and September 2018. Eleven pregnant teenagers, two girls without a teenage pregnancy, and eight other key informants were included. In-depth interviews (including photovoice) and field observations were conducted. Analysis of participant perspectives revealed five main themes: 1) lack of individual agency (peer pressure, limited decision-making power, and sexual coercion); 2) desire to earn money and get out of poverty; 3) dropping out of school contributing to becoming pregnant; 4) absence of financial, material, psychological, or emotional support from the environment; and 5) limited access to contraception. A majority of girls reported the pregnancy to be unplanned, whereas some girls purposely planned it. Our findings and the resulting conceptual framework contribute to a new social theory and may inform national and international policies to consider the needs and perspectives of teenagers in delaying pregnancy and promoting sexual and reproductive health in Tanzania and beyond.

Abstract:
Scholars who write about early modern women and crime have focused primarily on prostitution and witchcraft which they deem “feminine” crimes. Removing this gender bias by employing a non-essentialist perspective, reveals a more nuanced picture of women’s participation in crime. Women who were unwilling—or perhaps not feminine enough—to use their sexual attributes to make money existed and are reported in crime statistics and literature. Using both hard evidence from crime studies and soft evidence from literary sources, and considering a wide historical range (from 1600–1800), reveals a steady stream of references to masculine-female criminals on the margins of early modern culture. I argue that future crime studies of early modern periods should allow for the consideration of women who did not conform to their culture’s gender ideals. Making a space for the “masculine-female criminal” contributes to a more nuanced view of gender and early modern culture.

Abstract:
Background Poor menstrual hygiene practices influence school girls’ dignity, well-being and health, school-absenteeism, academic performance, and school dropout in developing countries. Despite this, menstrual hygienic practices are not well understood and have not received proper attention by school WASH programs. Therefore, this study examined the extent of good menstrual hygiene practices and associated factors among high school girls in Dessie City, Amhara Region, northeastern Ethiopia. Methods A school-based cross-sectional study was employed to examine 546 randomly selected high school students in Dessie City, northeastern Ethiopia. Pretested interviewer-administered questionnaires and a school observational checklist were used for data collection. EpiData Version 4.6 and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Version 25.0 were used for data entry and analysis, respectively. Bivariate and multivariable logistics regression analyses were employed to identify factors associated with good menstrual hygiene practices. During bivariable analysis, variables with P-values less than 0.25 were retained for multivariable analysis. In the multivariable analysis, variables with a P-value less than 0.05 were declared to be significantly associated with good menstrual hygiene practices. Results Of the respondents, 53.9% (95% CI [49.6, 58.2]) reported good menstrual hygiene practices. The following factors were found to be significantly associated with good menstrual hygiene practices: age range 16–19 years (AOR = 1.93, 95% CI: [1.22–3.06]); school grade level 10 (AOR = 1.90, 95% CI: [1.18–3.07]); maternal education (primary) (AOR = 3.72, 95% CI: [1.81–7.63]), maternal education (secondary) (AOR = 8.54, 95% CI: [4.18–17.44]), maternal education (college) (AOR = 6.78, 95% CI: [3.28–14.02]) respectively]; having regular menses [AOR = 1.85, 95% CI: (1.03–3.32); good knowledge regarding menstruation (AOR = 2.02, 95% CI: [1.32–3.09]); discussing menstrual hygiene with friends (AOR = 1.79, 95% CI: [1.12–2.86]), and obtaining money for pads from the family (AOR = 2.08, 95% CI: [1.15–3.78]). Conclusion We found that more than half of high school girls had good menstrual hygiene practices. Factors significantly associated with good menstrual hygiene practices include high school girls age 16–18 years, girls grade level 10, maternal education being completed primary, secondary and college level, having regular menses, good knowledge regarding menstruation, discussing menstrual hygiene with friends and obtaining money for pads from the family. Therefore, educating of high school student mothers about MHP should be a priority intervention area to eliminate the problem of menstrual hygiene among daughters. Furthermore, in order to improve the MHP among high school girls, further attention is needed to improving knowledge regarding menstruation among high school girls, encouraging high school girls’ families to support their daughters by buying sanitary pads and promoting discussions among friends about menstrual hygiene. Schools need to focus on making the school environment conducive to managing menstrual hygiene by increasing awareness of safe MHP and providing adequate water/sanitation facilities.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the thus far unexamined early life of S. Willard Saxton. In the grand scheme of American history Saxton was not an especially significant figure: he spent most of his time in the 1850s as a Boston-based itinerant printer–perennially mired in debt–frequenting concerts and making small talk with girls he fancied. But Saxton’s unusually large and evocative manuscript diary offers unparalleled insight into the mind of a reform-minded young man who harbored a deep love for music and who cultivated an ever-developing taste for politics. Saxton’s relationship to music helped fuel his decision to cast a vote for the first time, volunteer at the polls, survive for a time as an avowed abolitionist in the South, and ultimately to interpret emancipation and Union victory as the realization of the better world that music had encouraged him to believe had always been coming. The chapter also includes details of Saxton’s relationship to John S. Dwight, experiences with Jenny Lind and the Hutchinson Family Singers, and the significance of his engagement with Fourierism and life at Brook Farm.

Abstract:
In 1849 Germany’s leading psychiatric journal reported a curious “illness” that, “like a plague,” had swept through a number of rural Swedish communities: young girls subject to an “involuntary drive to preach.” The “preaching illness” began with symptoms of a “strongly-felt awakening towards repentance and improvement,” headaches, and burning in the chest. It then progressed to “automatic convulsions” and visions, which the girls “imagine are the effects of God’s spirit.” In this state, they preached a message admonishing against sin—against dancing, drinking, card-playing, and other depraved behavior—and prophesied the coming destruction of the world. Whole communities had been infected, believing in the girls’ message and in their connection to God. Identifying new forms of religious “madness” (and other mental illnesses) was a learning process, and one important venue for this was the collegial exchange of case histories in professional journals. In a postscript to the article, Carl Friedrich Flemming (1799–1880), an editor of the journal and one of Germany’s leading asylum psychiatrists, appended his own recent treatment of a case in Prussia that remarkably matched the symptoms of the Swedish preaching illness. A young village girl took to falling into “epileptic fits” and, in a trance state, would admonish people in her community about their sins. She attained “great respect through her preachings and prophesying”; “listeners streamed” to hear her, even paying money for the privilege. A doctor was called in to examine her; she was ultimately removed to an asylum where, through Flemming’s successful cure, she “never again made the least attempt to preach,” and was able to be returned home without any further “public nuisance.” The preaching illness was but one variant of a larger epidemic of religious madness that physicians, asylum alienists, and others were convinced plagued their society. They saw patients troubled by anxiety, guilt, and terror over real or imagined sins; people who were bewitched or possessed by the devil; prophets and mystics whose diseased imaginations led them to believe themselves endowed with divine powers. This was the heyday of religious madness, an illness discussed at length in the professional literature and registered in asylum statistics across Europe and North America.

Abstract:
In these competitive years of continuing change, libraries enrich their services with modern technologies and innovative approaches to satisfy users’ standards. This engagement significantly increases the effects of these new inputs on library budgets as new technology applications demand money and new organization schemes. Consequently, the annual budget has to be increased and difficulties arise due to its efficient allocation. This paper describes a methodology of evaluating offered services by using specific important factors like Users Satisfaction of a Service, Usage, and Cost of this service. Known methods for estimating Costs (ABC method) and estimating Satisfaction (MUSA method) in library fields are used. Also, the multi-criteria method to evaluate a service by correlating the above mentioned factors are used to give the observer the ability to find useful information. Finally, a case study about the evaluation of services using the proposed methodology is presented. The goal of the proposed methodology is to help library decision makers choose the most appropriate services to offer change and improvements according to user needs and allocated budgets.

Abstract:
The 3M National Teaching Fellowship program has a rich history in Canada as the premier teaching award, coveted by university professors and post-secondary institutions alike. This program was developed in 1985 through a unique partnership with the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE) and 3M Canada. It has evolved into one of the most successful public/private partnerships in Canada. While the Fellowship Program has expanded and strengthened over the years, the original vision of celebrating teaching excellence and leadership in teaching continues to distinguish it from other national award programs. Each year, 10 new individuals are chosen to join the Fellowship through the submission of a detailed nomination package, which in turn is adjudicated by a rigorous selection process. Unlike the UK National Teaching Fellowship Scheme, the European Award for Teaching Excellence, or the Australian Awards for University Teaching that offer significant monetary benefits, the 3M Fellows are not awarded money. In addition, while self-nomination is not encouraged, increasingly institutions nominate their recent award winners, especially when they have been recognized for teaching internally and by regional and provincial bodies. So, why do the 3M Fellowships receive nominations year after year and why are they perceived to be more prestigious than ever before? This case study reveals why by highlighting the history of this award, the selection process, and the multiplier effect of the community of 3M Fellows. Further, the authors distinguish the salient aspects of the 3M Fellowship Program from other award schemes in higher education.

Abstract:
This chapter uses Shlomith Rimmon-Kenan’s work on narrative to explore how Barnardo deployed the basic elements of narrative (story, plot, character, as well as figurative modes) in advertising and other innovative fundraising schemes as a form of direct appeal to raise both affect and funds. These practices operated in direct opposition to a general evangelical mandate against asking for money specifically while acting as a mechanism for making meaning in the public arena related to a range of concepts significant to Dr Barnardo’s work and brand, including: ideas of childhood, emigration, citizenship, labour, hospitality and Christian love. The chapter examines Barnardo’s experience as a writer and as a ragged School educator to demonstrate how his practices took charity work into the realm of entrepreneurialism and business, since narrative often functioned as advertising. The chapter explores how Barnardo developed a persuasive form of institutional vignette to stimulate public support. It concludes by examining how Barnardo used narrative to create highly successful, innovative incentive schemes to increase wide spread donations globally, drawing of affect and sympathy.

Abstract:
This chapter examines various objections to a Citizen's Basic Income, such as: people should not be paid for doing nothing; immigration would go up; people would not work; we cannot afford it; it would cause a hike in public expenditure; the money could be better used on other things. Another objection is that if means-tested benefits are abolished, then we would not know to whom we should give passported benefits such as free school meals. The chapter responds to each of these objections, focusing in particular on funding schemes for the Citizen's Basic Incomes such as making changes to the existing tax and benefits structure, taxing appropriation of the commons, or by means of consumption taxes or a Financial Transaction Tax. It also considers some of the problems that a Citizen's Basic Income cannot solve, including disability, housing costs, fuel poverty and climate change.

"Finance for Agriculture." In Agricultural Finance and Opportunities for Investment and Expansion, 26–55. IGI Global, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.4018/978-1-5225-3059-6.ch002.

Full text
Abstract:
Finance for funding agricultural activities can be fixed through three typical sources, namely formal, informal, and semi-formal channels. However, the small-scale farmers either by omission or commission tend to rely solely on informal sources of finance, for instance, personal savings, for funding agricultural activities. There is therefore the need to inform farmers on the array of sources of finance that are available for them for use boosting their farm investment and enterprise expansion. The objectives of the chapter include highlighting three important functions of an enterprise, defining the meaning of agricultural finance, describing sources of investment fund for agriculture, and discussing the rural finance institution-building programme. The methodology adopted is that of systematic and analytical review of relevant literature. Following from the review of relevant literature, this chapter argues that the reported reluctance of banks to lend to agriculture is dictated by the profit-making motives of the banks against the characteristic risky nature of agricultural enterprises. A way around the reluctance is government backed and efficiently targeted credit schemes. The chapter further argues that farmers should form cooperative societies and source loans from such cooperative societies at single digit interest rates. With respect to the cooperative societies, government should constantly and consciously discharge its responsibilities as they relate to supervision, monitoring, and evaluation of the activities of registered cooperative societies. The chapter observes that the formal sources of agricultural finance are capable of mobilizing a large sum of money; however, in the process of financial intermediation, a relatively small fraction of the whole gets to agriculture. On their part, the informal sources tend to mobilize funds for agriculture at high and therefore unsustainable interest rates to farmers. Incentives and subsidies are therefore required for financing agriculture. It is specifically recommended that African governments should strive to commit themselves to the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme's call for the allocation of at least 10% of the national budget for agriculture to achieve a target of 6% annual agricultural growth.

Abstract:
Until now we have discussed how life propagates and how life eventually ends; but I guess what most of us are preoccupied with is ‘what we do in between.’ In this chapter, I would like to stay in-between these two extremes and enjoy the moment. What more could we ask for? Excitement is what I, for one, would like to have. Whilst the concept of excitement may be subjective, most would agree that some modicum of risk comes as a given. It is much harder to get excited by certainty (let’s face it, we all find certainty boring). Let us instead choose life and discuss the various ways to make it more exciting. It’s 1962 Las Vegas, the city of dreams. Millions are made and lost every minute of every day. The city is littered with dreams of rookies making their way across the Nevada desert with borrowed money to chance their arm. Perhaps he will come back a millionaire or perhaps he will come back with his tail between his legs. But this day is different. Today a new cowboy is in town. He enters one of the casinos, the music is going, the cameras are on him, and the wine and the girls are on tap. He looks around, spots the blackjack table and makes a beeline straight for it. When the sexiest game in town is poker – why is this guy spending all his time on the blackjack table? He has a strategy, he thinks, that will beat the dealer. In his pocket, he has $10,000 to play with (in 1962 not an insignificant amount – worth around a cool quarter of a million dollars today), so this guy clearly means business. He starts to play the game like any rookie, placing small bets, quite innocuous, but as the game wears on, whilst others were leaving the table, this guy is still going. Slowly but surely his strategy seemed to be working. Of course, no casino likes winners, and is particularly wary of those that go about their business with such ruthless efficiency in such a cool and methodical manner.

"Denmark’s Peter Aalbæk Jensen (born in 1956) is a true maverick: a former rock music roadie who moved sideways into lm, hooked up with Lars von Trier when both men were at a low ebb in their careers, and has gone on to produce or executive produce more than 70 lms. Aalbæk Jensen has based his career around a close working relationship with one or two directors. Alongside his long partnership with Von Trier, he has known [Danish director] Susanne Bier since lm school days and partly credits her for persuading him to become a producer. Aalbæk Jensen is a born iconoclast. He is the outsider, the man from the provinces who gatecrashed the cozy Copenhagen media world. It was striking that when he and Von Trier set up Zentropa in 1992, they based themselves at Filmbyen, a former army barracks outside Copenhagen. At the same time, Aalbæk Jensen is a skilled dealmaker who has come up with a nancing model that has enabled Von Trier to carry on making lms on an ambitious scale. Whether it’s working with regional funds, tapping the Council of Europe fund Eurimages, securing advances from loyal tribes of distributors, or setting up offshoots of Zentropa in countries with soft-money schemes, Aalbæk Jensen is an expert at funding movies out of Europe. Bluntly spoken, but often very witty, he has a showman’s instinct too. Europa (1991)— Aalbæk Jensen and Von Trier’s rst lm together—was a critical success and they have gone onto work on such lms as The Kingdom (1994), Breaking the Waves (1996), Dancer in the Dark (2000), Dogville (2003), Antichrist (2009), and Melancholia (2011). At Zentropa, Aalbæk Jensen has been involved in everything from Dogme low-budget lms to Puzzy Power—hardcore porn movies with a feminist slant—and lavish costume dramas like A Royal Affair (2012). He describes his most important skill as being able to choose his collaborators wisely and to sniff out talent. Aalbæk Jensen has also worked with Fridrik Thor Fridriksson, Nicolas Winding Refn, Thomas Vinterberg, and Lone Scherg. He is currently in production on Von Trier’s latest lm, Nymphomaniac, which stars Charlotte Gainsbourg, Shia LaBeouf, and Stellan Skarsgård." In FilmCraft: Producing, 13–18.

Abstract:
"Objective: The goal of this research was to explore the influence of power and social distance on individual fair perception in the context of income. Methods: College students were selected to investigate and 197 answers, including 58 boys and 139 girls. Average age was 22.01 years (SD=2.52). The subjects were randomly divided into different groups, including 62 mothers ,75 friends and 60 strangers. The experimental design was 2[power: low power(be a responder), high power(be an allocators)]×3[social distance: near (mother), middle (friend), far (stranger)] mixed experimental design. There is one allocator and two responders in the game. The experiment was divided into two subtasks according to the role of the participants: Subtask 1, stranger A is allocator, the participant is one responder, and the other responder is Mother/Friend/Stranger B. Subtask 2, the participant is allocator, stranger A is one responder, the other responder is still Mother/Friend/Stranger B. Results: (1) The participants had a lower sense of fairness to the same distribution scheme when their role changed from responder to allocator. (2) When friends and strangers got more money than themselves, the participants had a lower sense of fairness. (3) No matter what kind of distribution scheme, as long as the sum of the amount of money received by the participant and his mother is the same, he had the same fairness perception. Conclusion: First, the change of power will affect the individual's fair perception, and the higher demand for fairness after the power increases; Second, the influence of social distance reflects the characteristics of the Chinese self, that is, the self of Chinese people contains his/her mother."

Abstract:
In recent years there has been considerable interest in the development of electronic money schemes. Electronic money has the potential to take over from cash as the primary means of making small-value payments and could make such transactions easier and cheaper for both consumers and merchants. Electronic money is a record of the funds or "value" available to a consumer stored on an electronic device in his or her possession, either on a prepaid card or on a personal computer for use over a computer network such as the Internet. This paper argues that e-money, as a network good, could become an important form of currency in the future. Such a development would influence the effectiveness and implementation of monetary policy. If an increased use of e-money substantially limits demand for central bank reserves, it would require changes in the operational target of the central bank and a closer coordination of monetary and fiscal policies.
