Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the present study was to examine the extent to which social factors such as gender, age, organized sport participation and family wealth, influence adolescents’ global self-worth and out-of-school physical activity (PA). Seven hundred twenty-one Greek students (346 boys and 375 girls), aged 14 to 16 years old (Mage = 14.97 ± .82 years), voluntarily participated in the present study. Participants completed online questionnaires measuring demographics (gender, age), organized participation in sport clubs, family wealth, global self-worth and out-of-school PA. Results revealed significant differences in adolescents’ self-worth due to age and family wealth, but not due to gender and organized sport participation. Similarly, there were significant differences in out-of-school PA due to gender, age, organized sport participation and family wealth. Age and family wealth were significant predictors of global self-worth, while age and gender were significant predictors of the out-of-school PA. No significant differences emerged in global self-worth between adolescents who reported being more active and those who were less active. These findings are partially in line with previous studies in the area of sport and exercise.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine whether, for first-degree relatives of patients presenting to a mood disorders clinic, family history information on psychiatric conditions collected by a psychiatrist and incorporated into the patient's medical records is as informative as that gathered during an interview specifically designed to collect family history data. The study group consisted of 472 first-degree relatives of 78 randomly selected index cases from a large mood disorders genetic database. Family history of psychiatric disorders recorded in regular psychiatric medical records (“clinician history”), and data obtained by a genetic counsellor administering specific family psychiatric history questionnaires to patients and multiple family informants (“family history”) were compared using a kappa statistic. Good agreement between the two methods on the presence or absence of a psychiatric disorder was found among first-degree relatives of index cases, but poor agreement was found with respect to the presence or absence of a specific mood disorder diagnosis(es) in a relative. The results suggest that a clinician-generated family psychiatric history is sensitive to the presence or absence of a psychiatric disorder when compared to a more structured detailed genetic interview. However, for research purposes, a clinician-generated family psychiatric history of a specific mood disorder diagnosis, without supporting collateral information, may not be reliable for use in supporting a mood disorder diagnosis in a patient and/or his relatives.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to explore gender and legitimacy in family business succession. Design/methodology/approach – Within the theoretical framework of French pragmatic sociology, the authors conceptualise the family business as the locus where two regimes of engagement are present, generating the co-presence of two orders of worth, namely the domestic and the industrial. Taking a processual approach to entrepreneuring, and using case studies of small enterprises in Italy, this paper explores the case of daughters taking over the family firms. Findings – The paper shows how the daughters’ perceived gender inequality in the succession process is justified and how the justification work and the production of legitimacy are accomplished, shifting from one order of worth to the other. Originality/value – The value of the contribution consists in pointing to how gender inequality is reproduced and justified inside the family business. The dual regime of engagement is what justifies the reproduction of a specific gender regime within the family business. Moreover, the paper adds a “gender” perspective to French pragmatist sociology.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to describe, from a superintendent's perspective, the current status of school-family-community partnerships in North Texas school districts. A secondary purpose of this study was to allow the superintendents to express themselves in an open-ended format regarding factors that encourage and limit the development of these partnerships, as well as their three-year goals for creating successful partnerships in their districts. A review of the literature revealed that very limited research exists regarding the relationship between the school superintendent and the school-family-community partnership. This literature review focused on research related to the school-family-community partnership including its place in federal legislation, and a historical and current perspective of the school superintendency. The target population for this study included 156 superintendents from the two educational service centers that make up the Dallas/Fort-Worth Metroplex. This research study employed an online survey research methodology. The instrument used in this study was the Measure of School, Family, and Community Partnerships by Dr. Joyce Epstein of Johns Hopkins University. Participants were asked to respond to fifty-two items placed in the six categories that represent Dr. Epstein's six types of involvement. Superintendents were also asked to respond to open-ended questions regarding what they perceive to be major factors that contribute to and limit the success of their school districts' school-family-community partnership efforts and what their primary goals were for improving these partnerships over the next three years. An analysis of district size in relation to superintendent perceptions of their district's school-family-partnership practices yielded no significant partnership practices. An analysis of district accountability ratings in relation to superintendent perceptions of their district's school-family-partnership practices yielded seven significant partnership practices. Finally, an analysis of superintendent experience yielded four significant superintendent partnership practices. The major factors superintendents perceive as not only contributing to, but limiting the success of their partnership programs revolved around parent involvement. The primary three-year goal that superintendent's reported for improving their district partnership programs overwhelmingly involved enhancing parent involvement.

Full textAbstract:
Going into retirement, near-retirees are looking at increased debt levels, which can offset any asset accumulations and reduce retirement income. By using data from the 2008 Health and Retirement Study (HRS), this study examines the debt and negative net worth of near-retirees. This study further investigates what factors are associated with the likelihood of holding consumer debt, holding mortgage debt, and holding home equity debt over holding no debt, and what factors are associated with the likelihood of holding negative net worth over holding a high level of net worth among near-retirees. The study sample includes 3,745 individuals between the ages of 51 and 64.
The results of the multinomial logistic regression analysis indicate that, all else being equal, human capital factors such as education, physical health problems, and depression symptoms play a significant role in predicting the likelihood of holding debt and negative net worth. In particular, education is positively associated with the likelihood of holding consumer, mortgage, and home equity debt over holding no debt, while it is negatively associated with the likelihood of having negative net worth over having a high level of net worth. Among the socioeconomic characteristics that influence the likelihood of near-retirees holding debt and negative net worth are household income, working in the labor force, and race. In particular, household income positively influences the likelihood of holding mortgage debt over holding no mortgage debt as well as the likelihood of holding home equity debt over holding no home equity debt. However, household income negatively influences the likelihood of having negative net worth over having a higher level of net worth.
The findings of this study could help financial educators, financial planners, and policymakers understand the differences in human capital and socioeconomic characteristics of near-retirees who hold some levels of debt over no debt and who hold no net worth or a lower level of net worth over a higher level of net worth. This study concludes that it is important for professionals, consumer educators, and financial planners to provide those who hold higher levels of debt and lower levels of net worth with financial literacy education; therefore, these individuals might be able to attain economic well-being in retirement.

This dissertation consists of three studies exploring the relationship between personality and wealth related variables. The psychological type theory was used as the theoretical framework for the first two studies, while the doctrine of interactionism was used in the third study. All three studies utilized data from the 2010 panel of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). The first study examined the relationship between personality traits and net worth. Linear regression results identified the extroversion and conscientiousness traits as being positively associated with net worth. Furthermore, the agreeableness trait was negatively associated with net worth. The second study explored the relationship between personality preference and stock ownership. This study’s logistic regression results identified the preference for high openness and high neuroticism as significant and positively associated with stock ownership. A high agreeableness preference was significant and negatively associated with stock ownership. The focus of the third study examined how net worth and income mediated the association between personality and life satisfaction. Regression results from this study identified net worth as being a significant mediating variable in the association between the conscientiousness trait and life satisfaction levels. However, income, in addition to net worth, was also a significant mediating variable when the extroversion and neuroticism traits were used to represent personality trait variables. Results from the three studies identified significant associations between personality traits and components of net worth. These findings contribute to the financial planning field by providing useful information in regards to how mental preferences expressed outwardly though personality traits are related to wealth related variables and life satisfaction. Financial planning practitioners can apply these findings to formulate strategies to assist people grow their wealth levels.

Consumer financial decision-making is an important issue around the world. The current study investigated this matter using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Building on the concept of social capital, the qualitative study explores the financial vulnerability phenomenon in Brazil from the perspective of jeitinho—a way of getting things done by means of personal relationships. Analysis of 21 in-depth interviews provides a unique context for showing how this indigenous construct shapes marketplace and consumer practices, thus creating a mutually reinforcing cycle of financial dependency and vulnerability. A socioecological framework highlights how the interactions between personal characteristics (microsystem) and marketplace practices and social structures (meso- and macrosystems) may lead individuals to experience or avoid financial vulnerability. Values that are typical of Brazilians were also used to explain financial management behaviors, consumer resistance, and responsibility in the marketplace. Findings provide new insights for understanding financial vulnerability from a cultural perspective. It shows that consumers become indebted in order to support their relationships—sometimes using them as an excuse to justify hedonic consumption—and companies take advantage of this social reciprocity in their lending and retail practices perpetuating the cycle of dependency and vulnerability. The borrowinglending dynamic between relatives and friends is then explored in the quantitative study. The theoretical background includes discussion on materialism, consumer spending self-control, and the use of credit. A survey of 997 Brazilian adults was conducted to test two hypotheses. The evidences support that: more materialistic individuals are more likely to borrow from relatives and friends (H1) and individuals with a high level of consumer spending self-control are less likely to borrow from relatives and friends (H2). Results support the argument that both materialism and consumer spending self-control predicts borrowing behavior. Implications for public policy and suggestions for future research are then presented.
A tomada de decisão financeira do consumidor é uma questão importante em todo o mundo. Nesta pesquisa, esse tema é investigado por meio das abordagens qualitativa e quantitativa. Com base no conceito de capital social, o estudo qualitativo explora o fenômeno da vulnerabilidade financeira no Brasil sob a perspectiva do jeitinho—sob a forma de resolver situações por meio de relacionamentos pessoais. A análise de 21 entrevistas em profundidade fornece um contexto único para mostrar como o jeitinho molda o mercado e as práticas de consumo, criando um ciclo de dependência e vulnerabilidade financeira que se reforça mutuamente. A abordagem socioecológica destaca como as interações entre características pessoais (micro sistema) e práticas de mercado e estruturas sociais (meso e macro sistemas) podem levar os indivíduos a experimentar ou evitar a vulnerabilidade financeira. Os valores típicos dos brasileiros também foram utilizados para explicar comportamentos de gestão financeira, resistência e responsabilidade do consumidor no mercado. Os resultados fornecem insights para entender a vulnerabilidade financeira a partir de uma perspectiva cultural: mostrando que os consumidores se endividam para sustentar seus relacionamentos—às vezes até os usando como uma desculpa para justificar o consumo hedônico—e que as empresas aproveitam essa reciprocidade social em suas práticas de mercado, perpetuando o ciclo de dependência e vulnerabilidade. A dinâmica de empréstimos entre parentes e amigos é, então, explorada no estudo quantitativo. O quadro teórico inclui literatura sobre materialismo, autocontrole e o uso de crédito. Uma pesquisa do tipo survey com 997 brasileiros foi realizada para testar duas hipóteses. As evidências sustentam que: indivíduos mais materialistas são mais propensos a pegar dinheiro emprestado de parentes e amigos (H1) e indivíduos com alto nível de autocontrole dos gastos são menos propensos a pegar dinheiro emprestado de parentes e amigos (H2). Os resultados sugerem que tanto o materialismo quanto o autocontrole dos gastos predizem o comportamento dos empréstimos. Implicações para políticas públicas e sugestões para pesquisas futuras são apresentadas.

Conflict between work and home continues to be a source of distress for many working people. This research had two major aims: one was to explore whether one's life values are associated with perceived conflict between work and non-work roles. Specifically, postmaterialism and materialism were examined to assess their relationship to work interference with family, and family interference with work. As hypothesized, materialism was positively associated with both directions of work-life conflict. Contrary to predictions, postmaterialism was not associated with work-life conflict. The second aim was to assess the predictive value of three different conceptualizations of materialism-postmaterialism for work-life conflict. Using a strong inference method (Platt, 1964), Inglehart's (1990) unidimensional measure was compared to bidimensional (Bean & Papadakis, 1994) and interactional (Giacalone & Jurkiewicz, 2004) conceptualizations. Results showed that the bidimensional model explained significantly more variance in work-life conflict than the unidimensional model, while the interactional model explained little additional variance. This study adds to research demonstrating links between materialism and various forms of negative well-being (Kasser, 2002). Suggestions are given regarding future research and how companies may be able to reduce employees' work-life conflict by de-emphasizing materialistic values.

Full textAbstract:
The present study examined the role of religious coping efforts of children and adolescents, ages 8 to 18, following residential fire. Two types of children's religious coping, spiritually based coping and religious discontent, were examined in response to loss of resources in residential fires. The study further examined the influence and potential moderating effects of internal resources including global self-worth, as well as external resources including social support received from parents, teachers, and friends, and the family religious environment. Consistent with the general coping literature, these resources were expected to beneficially influence and predict spiritually based coping. Contrarily, the lack of these resources was expected to predict religious discontent. Children and adolescents' post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms were also assessed and compared to their coping responses. Religious discontent was found to be positively associated with greater levels of loss, PTSD symptoms and negatively associated with global self-worth and low socio-economic status. It was also significantly predicted by loss and an interaction between loss and social support, where higher social support predicted lower levels of religious discontent under high levels of loss. Post hoc analyses revealed peer social support to interact significantly with loss to buffer religious discontent. Spiritually based coping was found to be significantly predicted by loss, race, age, and family religious environment, where African Americans, and children reported greater spiritually based coping than European Americans, and adolescents. Lastly, loss was significantly and negatively associated with global self-worth and positively associated with PTSD symptoms.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
The effect of frequency of nursing home contact on family perceptions of quality care is the focus of this research. A family member characteristic, such as geographic distance from the nursing home, affects his or her frequency of contact with the nursing home. Frequency of contact, in turn, affects family perceptions of the care his or her loved one receives in the nursing home. The theoretical framework for this study is based on Allport's intergroup contact theory, which posits that when four contact conditions - institutional support, equal status, common goals, and intergroup cooperation - are present in an intergroup situation, a reduction in anxiety between groups is likely to occur. Regression analysis tested the stated hypotheses using survey data collected from 275 family members of residents in 10 Dallas-Ft. Worth area nursing homes. This study is among the first to quantify family geographic distance, finding that family geographic distance is a significant negative predictor of nursing home contact. Additionally, results build on Allport's theory by extending its' usefulness to nursing home organizations in two distinct ways. First, findings support Allport's premise that contact alone between groups - i.e., family members and nursing home staff - is insufficient for increasing or decreasing family perceptions of nursing home care. Second, three of the four contact conditions included in Allport's theory were statistically supported by the data. In sum, findings of this research provide nursing homes with an empirically tested model for improving family perceptions of quality nursing home care.

The present study, concerning children exposed to family violence, examined the
relationships among the children's global self-worth, their perceived social support, their
mothers' perceived social support, and their mothers education level. Fifty-six children
aged 7 to 13 years from 38 families and their 38 mothers participated in the study. They
were recruited through transition houses and community organizations which were
offering counseling services for assaulted women and their children in the Lower
Mainland of British Columbia, Canada. Children were individually asked to complete a
demographic information form and certain measures that assessed their global self-worth,
their domain-specific competencies, the importance of different domains to them, and
their perceived social support. Their mothers were individually asked to complete a
demographic information form and a measure that assessed their perceived social support.
The study found: (a) Doing well at school was the most significant domain which
contributed to children's global self-worth, followed by being good looking, (b) mothers
were the most important support providers who contributed to children's global selfworth,
followed by non-kin adults (counselors and transition house staff), (c) the amount
of support for children was related positively to their global self-worth, (d) children's
social support contributed to their global self-worth- together with the mean of
discrepancies between their perceptions of competence and their ratings of importance,
(e) the higher the level of education the mothers had, the less satisfied they were with
supports, and (f) children's social support and discrepancy between their perceptions of
competence and their ratings of importance were the two strongest among four factors
(children's social support, discrepancy between their perceptions of competence and their
ratings of importance, their mothers' social support, and their mothers' education level)
as predictors of children's global self-worth. These findings are discussed in light of the
current literature that describes outcome data for children exposed to family violence. The
thesis ends with a description of potential educational implications.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of adolescent family attachment and emotional perceptions on self-worth. The research data is based on the responses of 2000 junior high freshmen to the questionnaire from the Academia Sinicas “Taiwan Youth Project (TYP)”. There are 2,328 people in the study sample. Its research methods include descriptive statistics, independent sample t test, single factor variance analysis, Pearson Product-Moment Correlation, multiple regression analysis, and so on. And the research shows: 1. These young people have positive perceptions toward the "family attachment." They are positive to their own "emotional feelings" and partly sure of their "self-worth." 2. Young people of different genders have significant differences in "family attachment", "emotional feelings" and "self-worth." And boys are higher than girls in all projects. 3. The family status of adolescents has reached significant differences in terms of "family attachment." 4. Young peoples "family attachment", "emotional feelings" and "self-worth" have a significant positive relationship. Finally, based on the research conclusions, suggestions are made for the teaching administrations, families, teachers teaching practices and future researches.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter will focus on the two decades after 1945, the period of the “post-war society” (1945–1967), which in the historical sciences is also characterized as a period of boom (keywords: “Wirtschaftswunder” (“economic miracle”), expansion of the welfare state, expansion of the educational sector, certainty about the future) and which comes to an end in the 1970s. Germany was undergoing a profound process of change: socio-structural changes in an advanced industrial society, structural changes in the family and a retreat into the private sphere, new opportunities in the areas of consumption and leisure due to the “Wirtschaftswunder,” urbanization and changes in communities, “Western Integration” (“Westbindung”), the ban on the KPD (Communist Party of Germany) in 1956, remilitarization, the development of the mass media and mass motorization, and the repression of the Nazi past were central social and sociological issues. At the same time, fascist tendencies were still virulent during the 1950s and 1960s. After 1945, sociology had to be rebuilt. Journals were refounded or newly founded, the German Sociological Association was restored and sociology was re-established as a teaching subject. Different “schools” and regional centers of sociology emerged. The so-called Cologne School centered around René König, the Frankfurt School around Adorno and Horkheimer, and the circle around Helmut Schelsky should be mentioned in particular; but also, Wolfgang Abendroth, Werner Hofmann, and Heinz Maus (Marburg School), Otto Stammer (Berlin), Arnold Bergstraesser (Freiburg i.Br.), and Helmuth Plessner (Göttingen). Despite their theoretical and political differences, up until the 1950s, they all had in common the decisive will for political and social enlightenment regarding the post-war situation. Furthermore, the particular importance that empirical social research and non-university research institutions had for the further development of sociology after 1945 is worth mentioning.At the end of the 1950s, field-specific dynamics gained momentum. The different “schools” and groups tried to secure and expand their position in the sociological field and their divergent research profiles became increasingly visible. The so-called civil war in sociology drove the actors further apart. Additionally, disciplinary struggles and camp-building processes during the first 20 years of West German sociology revolved around the debate on role theory and the dispute over positivism. By the end of the 1950s, an institutional and generational change can be observed. The so-called post-war generation, which included Ralf Dahrendorf, Jürgen Habermas, Niklas Luhmann, Erwin K. Scheuch, Heinrich Popitz, Hans Paul Bahrdt, M. Rainer Lepsius, and Renate Mayntz, assumed central positions in organizations, editorial boards of journals, and universities. While the early “schools” and circles (König, Schelsky, Adorno, and Horkheimer) initially focused on the sociology of the family and empirical research, the following generation concentrated foremost on industrial sociology, but also on topics of social structure and social stratification as well as on social mobility.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses how the long-term success of converts required reworking relationships with preconversion families and lives. Pentecostal rupture with the unconverted world in practice was not ever complete. Converts' success hinged on the uncertain prospect of exchanging spiritual capital gained in the ministry for the local currency of their fragile families. Ironically, those converts who had more resources before conversion were often those who could best capitalize on their new Christian relationships, their identities and authority both inside and outside of the ministries. Thus, the radical egalitarianism of each saved soul's worth was continually undercut by differential access in the present material world.

Full textAbstract:
Asserting self-worth was necessary for twentieth-century female business owners in order to be successful and Lewis, Beech and Lewis each did it skilfully yet differently—respectively positioning herself in terms of stature, the irrelevance of gender or competence. They had to generate a positive valuation of themselves at a time when gender roles and stereotypes triggered an automatic discount to their worth expressed in lower pay, questions about their abilities, and the trenchant hold of the “family claim” positing that their job, first and foremost, was to care for husbands, children and homes. Articulating a counternarrative that established their value to their companies was important for female business owners and had an impact on the bottom line. Additionally, all three came from non-traditional backgrounds, making an unorthodox entrance into corporate leadership positions from secretarial jobs. This in combination with a lack of formal education beyond high school or even elementary school and the fact that they operated businesses in the highly male-dominated manufacturing sector, meant that the task of self-presentation was both complex and essential in order to achieve the most advantageous outcome for her company and herself.

Full textAbstract:
Using primary sources including diaries and letters, this chapter sheds considerable light on the female intellectual and cultural sphere. A wide-ranging discussion of middle-class women living in an Irish urban context is offered here. Although Victorian elite women left a much lighter record than that of men, private correspondence from the large Workman family and Mary Watts’ diary and biography provide a fascinating insight into the female sphere as it existed in the town. Women’s experience of education, culture, singleness, courtship, marriage, motherhood and philanthropy are all discussed in this chapter, raising questions about levels of female independence, self-worth and participation in the public sphere. Fatherhood and childhood are also discussed in this chapter.

Chapter 3 addresses the ways that social class, economic resources, and family backgrounds affect students’ experiences of college. Students learn about the value of college: that college is important to earn a degree for specific skills and credentials, while it also teaches the “rules of the game,” referred to in scholarship as acquiring cultural capital. This chapter also addresses how students’ social class backgrounds affect how easy, hard, or different from high school they find the college experience to be, and how these experiences can shape the kinds of skills and talents that students gravitate to and build during college.

Full textAbstract:
In 59, Servilia was given by Caesar, then consul, a single pearl worth six million sesterces. Her brother Cato opposed Caesar: Servilia probably gave Cato sympathy and advice. An informer, Vettius, claimed that her son Brutus was involved in a plot to kill Pompey, but next day withdrew the allegation, giving Cicero the opportunity to joke (in private) that Servilia had interceded overnight. Cato, who despite his juniority had political influence, divorced his wife, Marcia, so that she could marry Hortensius. Little is known of Servilia’s own activities during the 50s, though evidence on politics is rich. In early summer 51 she was supporting Ser. Sulpicius as a suitor for Tullia. She may well have been involved behind the scenes in Caesar’s plans for his return.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is concerned with the nature of ‘front’ along the front/back axis. The languages taken up for the study are Bengali, a language belonging to Indo-Aryan language family, and Kannada, a language belonging to Dravidian language family. The terms for denoting ‘front’ for Bengali are ‘samne’ and ‘aage’ and for Kannada are ‘yeduru’ and ‘munde’. Experience and embodiment of spatial arrangements play an important role in the spatial cognition, and language use takes into account the different points of view. Many factors such as proximity, vantage point, specificity, etc. play an important role in describing a given situation. It is worth mentioning that the choice of the usages of the words for denoting ‘front’ as location or direction has been seen as different in some situations and overlapping in others. The data were collected using a questionnaire which aimed to elicit the expressions for ‘front’ for the entities, whose relationship is described in terms of Figure and Ground (Talmy, 1983; 2000), from the speakers of both the above mentioned languages, and then analysed for the factors involved.

Full textAbstract:
The use of combined heat and power (CHP) systems to produce both electric and thermal energies for medium-size buildings is on the increase, due to their high overall efficiency, high energy prices and political and social awareness. In this paper, an energy-economic study is presented. The main objective is to implement an analysis that will lead to the optimal design of a small cogeneration system, given the thermal power duration curve of a multi-family residential building. A methodology was developed to obtain this curve for a reference B-class building located in the North of Portugal. The CHP unit is based on a micro gas-turbine and includes an Internal Pre-Heater (IPH), typical of these types of small-scale units, and an external Water Heater (WH). A numerical optimization method was applied to solve the thermo-economic model. The mathematical model yields an objective function defined as the maximization of the annual worth of the cogeneration system. A purchase cost equation was used for each major plant component that takes into account size and performance variables. Seven decision variables were selected for the optimization algorithm, including performance of internal gas-turbine components and electrical and thermal powers. The results show that, the revenue from selling electricity to the grid and fuel costs have the greatest impact on the annual worth of the system. The optimal solution for the small CHP is sensitive to fuel price, electricity feed-in-tariff, capital cost and to the thermal load profile of the building. High European energy prices point towards future micro gas-turbines with better electrical efficiencies, achieved via a higher pressure-ratio compressor and turbine inlet temperature.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hydrocarbon source potential of the Middle Miocene Lower Baong Formation of the Lhokseumawe area and further attempt to establish a correlation of this possible source with the oil produced in the area by the mean of biomarkers analysis. Source rock characterization was realized by integrating several geochemical measurements including TOC, HI and Ro from the DY-1 and TM-1 wells. This has allowed us to define the organic content, maturity and kerogen type of the Lower Baong. Meanwhile, multiple produced oil samples from the area of interest were used to characterize their geochemical signature, based on a combination of isoprenoid, triterpane and sterane biomarkers, in an effort to determine maturity of those oils and the depositional environment of their source. This provides the basis of our attempt to correlate genetically oil and source rock in the Lhokseumawe area. The geochemical characterization of the Lower Baong suggest the formation to be an effective active source rock in the Lhokseumawe area with remaining average TOC of c1.5%, Kerogen Type II-III and maturity levels optimal for oil expulsion. Biomarker analysis of oils suggest an origin from a source facies deposited in open marine environment. Maturity level analysis using pentacyclic triterpane supports the source to be at peak maturity level. The correlation of oil with source rock supports largely that the Lower Baong oils are sourced by Lower Baong source facies of marine origin. However it worth noting that one oil family differs from this genetic correlation, opening speculation around other source facies to be active in the Lower Baong or an additional source interval to be active in the Lhokseumawe area. This could be interesting topic to be discuss in future.

Anita R. Fedor- Renáta J. Erdei Abstract The focus of our research is labor market integration and the related issues like learning motivation, value choices, health status, family formation and work attitudes. The research took place in the North Great Plain Region – Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, Nyíregyháza, Nyíregyháza region, Debrecen, Cigánd district (exception), we used the Debrecen and the national database of the Graduate Tracking System. Target groups: 18-70 year-old age group, women and women raising young children, 15-29 year-old young age group, high school students (graduate ones) fresh university graduates. The theorethical frameworks of the precariate research is characterized by a multi-disciplinar approach, as this topic has sociological, economic, psychological, pedagogical, legal and health aspects. Our aim is to show whether There is relevance between the phenomenon of precariate and labor market disadvantage and how individual insecurity factors affect a person’s presence in the labor market. How the uncertainties in the workplace appear in different regions and social groups by expanding the theoretical framework.According to Standing precariate is typical to low gualified people. But I would like to see if it also typical to highly qualifiled young graduates with favourable conditions.It is possible or worth looking for a way out of the precarious lifestyle (often caused by objective reasons) by combining and using management and education.Are there definite features in the subjective state of health of groups with classic precariate characteristics? Results The research results demonstrate that the precarious characteristics can be extended, they are multi-dimensional.The personal and regional risk factors of labor market exclusion can develop both in different regions and social groups. Precarized groups cannot be connected exclusively to disadvantaged social groups, my research has shown that precarious characteristics may also appear, and the process of precarization may also start among highly qualified people. Precariate is a kind of subjective and collective crisis. Its depth largely depends on the economic environment, the economic and social policy, and the strategy and cultural conditions of the region. The results show, that the subjective health of classical precar groups is worse than the others.
