Abstract:

In the 1960s and 1970s, there was an important issue in education that dealt with student privacy. Student education records were not accessible to parents, and important decisions were being made for the students without input from the parents. Based on this abuse, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) was signed into law.

The purpose of this study was to determine if site administrators and teachers from educational institutions understand how to enforce FERPA. This study assessed the site administrators’ understanding of FERPA via a survey with questions on the knowledge of FERPA, student data, and student/parent rights. The study also assessed the impact of providing FERPA training to site administrators with a pre- and post-test. Interviews were conducted with the teachers to gain an understanding of their knowledge of FERPA with questions on student confidentiality and student data. The methodology for this study was a mixed-methods approach that used a one-group pretest-posttest design for the quantitative research and was supplemented by the qualitative data.

The results presented in this study contribute to the research literature on the importance of being trained in FERPA to enforce compliance and protect student confidentiality and privacy. Although there was a small sample size, there were slight increases from the pre-test to the post-test, which reinforces the importance of being trained on FERPA.

Abstract:
En dépit du rôle croissant concédé aux volontés individuelles en droit des personneset de la famille, les phénomènes de volonté saisis par cette branche du droit pâtissent d’uneconstruction juridique lacunaire. Les liens avec la théorie de l’acte juridique sont peuexplorés ou n’apparaissent qu’ à travers le prisme déformant de l’approche institutionnelleet légaliste qui est généralement adoptée.En rupture avec le mythe de l’autonomie du droit des personnes et de la famille, cettethèse entend démontrer l’apport de cette branche du droit à la théorie générale de l’actejuridique.Il est possible de dépasser les spécificités apparentes des phénomènes de volontérencontrés en recourant à une théorie moderne de l’acte juridique. Fondée sur un principede causalité décrivant le lien permanent entre les volontés et des données objectives,façonnée par un ensemble de « techniques », la théorie générale peut être tantôtperfectionnée, tantôt enrichie, sous l’influence du droit des personnes et de la famille.De tout ceci, il résulte que le droit commun des contrats a vocation à s’appliquer, aumoins subsidiairement, dans le cadre des techniques « initiales », analogues à cellesconsacrées par la théorie du contrat. Quant aux techniques « intégrées » qui révèlent lesréelles originalités de l’acte juridique personnel ou familial, elles ne dérogent pas à lathéorie générale et sont même susceptibles de tirer profit de la transversalité de cettedernière. En tout cas, se dessine un droit spécialisé de l’acte juridique qui mériterait d’êtreconçu comme tel aussi bien par la doctrine que par les praticiens
Despite the increasing role granted to individual intent in the law of personsand family, the phenomena of intent as grasped by this body of law suffer from a deficientlegal construct. The links with the theory of the legal act are little explored or emerge onlythrough the distorting prism of the institutional and legalistic approach which is generallyadopted.Breaking with the myth of the autonomy of the law of persons and family, this thesiswill seek to demonstrate the contribution made by this branch of law to the general theoryof the legal act.It is possible to go beyond the apparent specificity of the phenomena of intent byusing a modern theory of the legal act. Based on a principle of causality describing thepermanent link between intent and objective data, shaped by a set of "techniques", thegeneral theory is sometimes improved, sometimes enhanced under the influence of the lawof persons and family.From all this, it follows that the common law of contract is intended to apply, atleast alternatively, in the context of “initial” techniques, similar to those enshrined in thetheory of contract. As for "integrated" techniques, which show the real distinctiveness of thepersonal or family legal act, they do not derogate from the general theory and are evenlikely to benefit from its transversality. In any case, a specialised law emerges from thelegal act that ought to be conceived as such both by doctrine and practitioners

Este estudo investigou as percepções de adolescentes autores de ato infracional sobre sua própria família, o ato infracional cometido e a medida socioeducativa. Foram realizados estudos de caso com três adolescentes, do sexo masculino, com idades entre 15 e 18 anos, que cumpriam medidas socioeducativas em meio aberto. Os instrumentos utilizados foram uma entrevista semiestruturada, o genograma e o Family System Test (FAST). Foram feitas análises individuais de cada caso e uma discussão integrada, enfocando os contextos de desenvolvimento e a infração juvenil. Foram identificados os fatores de proteção e de risco presentes nos contextos nos quais os jovens estavam inseridos, sendo que as práticas educativas parentais foram percebidas como fator de risco no desenvolvimento destes jovens, enquanto que a medida socioeducativa foi percebida como um importante fator de proteção. Destaca-se a importância de estudos que investiguem os fatores individuais e ambientais envolvidos na problemática da infração juvenil, para que possam ser propostos programas de prevenção e intervenção adequados.
This study investigated the perceptions of adolescents who were authors of infraction acts on their own families, the committed infraction act and the socio-educational measure. Case studies were conducted with three adolescents, male, aged between 15 and 18 years old who were in freedom, but followed by a supervised socioeducative measure. The instruments utilized were a semi-structured interview, a genogram and the Family System Test (FAST). In addition, individual analyses from each case and an integrated discussion were carried out, focusing on contexts of development and youth infraction. Risk and protection factors were identified in the contexts in which the young individuals lived and the parent educational practices were perceived as a risk factor in the development of these young individuals, while the socio-educational measure was perceived as an important protection factor. Finally, the importance of studies that investigate individual and environmental factors involved in the issue of youth infraction were highlighted which allows that adequate programs of prevention and intervention are proposed.

Full text
Abstract:
S’il est une activité judiciaire qui exprime à elle seule les métamorphoses de la fonction de juger, c’est bien celle de l’homologation, procédure judiciaire qui assure le contrôle d’actes déjà valides entre les parties ou qui le deviendront si leur conformité aux exigences du droit substantiel est judiciairement reconnue. Mais si l’homologation implique toujours un acte conventionnel auquel s’adjoint une intervention du juge, force est d’observer que les procédures d’homologation n’ont de commun que le nom. Car, ce que l’on désigne par homologation judiciaire, ce sont, en termes de finalités, des procédures distinctes les unes des autres. Il faut dire que les règles procédurales de l’homologation judiciaire dépendent fortement du droit substantiel en cause. Ici, le fond commande la procédure. C’est le droit de fond qui, dans chaque matière dans laquelle l’homologation est demandée, dicte sa conduite procédurale au juge. A preuve, l’étendue du contrôle judiciaire exercé sur l’acte des parties. Large en matière administrative et en droit du travail, le contrôle judiciaire est restreint dans le cadre des autres transactions extrajudiciaires. Qu’en est-il du régime des accords homologués ? C’est encore, et d’abord, une affaire de droit substantiel. On pourrait multiplier les exemples. Bornons-nous à l’autorité de la chose jugée, reconnue à l’accord homologué dans les matières pénale et de divorce consensuel, et refusée à l’acte notarié homologué en matière de changement de régime matrimonial. Chose jugée également reconnue aux transactions homologuées en matière administrative, mais refusée aux transactions homologuées dans les matières civiles. Ces brèves indications confortent sans doute cette idée que l’homologation judiciaire relève d’abord des exigences du droit substantiel. Elles expriment aussi le fait qu’il n’existe pas une, mais des notions d’homologation. Partant, l’activité judiciaire d’homologation des actes juridiques se prêtera mal à une théorie générale
Judicial approval shows in a remarkable way how the function of judging contains different aspects. This Judicial activity is in itself a judicial procedure which ensures the control of agreements validly concluded between parties or which will become valid if their conformity with the requirements of substantive law is judicially recognized / if their conformity with the requirements of substantive law is established/ if these agreements fulfil the conditions required by the substantive law.If there is no doubt that the process of judicial homologation is unique, it must be however observed that the homologation procedures according to their purposes are distinct from each other. In fact, the procedural rules of judicial approval/judicial depend considerably on the substantive law to be applied. That’s why, it can be said in this context, that substantive law controls procedural law; for it is substantive law which determines the judge's procedural conduct when judicial approval is requested. The degree or level of the judicial control exercised over the agreements of the parties is a proof of this.What about the registration judgment regime? It is inspired by the substantive law of each subject in which the registration judgment is rendered. We could give more examples. Let us confine ourselves to the authority of res judicata, allowed in the approved agreement on divorce by mutual consent, and refused in the approved notarial deed on change of matrimonial regime. The authority of res judicata is also considered to be admitted for certified transactions in administrative matters, but rejected for certified transactions in civil matters. These brief indications probably support the idea that judicial homologation is primarily a matter of substantive law. In other words, contrary to what is often said in doctrine, homologation is a matter of substantive law before it is a procedural matter

Abstract:
While several Australian and international studies have explored the family lawyer-client interaction, these studies have been limited to investigations of discrete areas of the lawyerclient relationship and have been necessarily limited in their methodologies. The present study employed a quantitative empirical methodology in an Australian wide field study of 230 family lawyers and 94 clients that investigated the family lawyer-client interaction from a procedural justice framework. Using multivariate analyses, the study establishes that the Tyler and Blader two-component model of procedural justice applies in the lawyer-client dyad and is influenced by the approach of the lawyer, the emotional response of the client, and the level of co-party conflict that the client is experiencing. Further, the study gives meaning to the terms 'conciliatory and constructive' and 'adversarial' as they apply to family law dispute resolution. The study establishes a construct to measure the conciliatory and adversarial approach of family lawyers and identifies that lawyers tend to incorporate a mixture of the two into their work. The results also identify four distinct behavioural factors that characterise the two approaches: the client-centred and interest-based factors characterise the conciliatory approach; and the lawyer-directed and court-focused factors characterise the adversarial. The study found that in terms of perceptions of fairness, and feelings of satisfaction, the clients preferred the lawyers who took a client-centred and interest-based approach, but in circumstances where the clients were experiencing high-levels of conflict, or fear for the safety of their children, they also appreciated the lawyer who was lawyer-directed and court-focused. Overall, the study shows that in order to create a fair and satisfying dispute resolution service for their clients, family lawyers need to maintain a fine balance of family lawyering behaviour. On a general level, the study provides a profile of Australian family lawyers in terms of their approach to dispute resolution, their attitude towards ADR processes and their favoured negotiation styles. It also profiles family law clients in terms of their emotional adjustment to the divorce and their perceptions of the family lawyers assisting them to resolve their disputes. The study substantially expands the procedural justice theory base and has significant implications for practical family law education, government policy, family lawyering, and the ADR and collaborative law movements. The study indicates where future research could benefit these communities.

Abstract:
The employer is obliged to proceed with accordance with a large number of legal norms. The act of law no. 82/2005 Collection of laws on Illegal employment is one of them. The article presented deals with the topic of illegal employment. The goal of the article is to analyse the actual situation concerning the illegal employment considering the individual regions of Slovakia based on data provided by National Labour Inspectorate, Central Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family and Offices of Labour, Social Affairs and Family. Based on information acquired, it is possible to state, that the most violations of the prohibition of illegal employment were discovered by inspections in the Nitra, Bratislava and Košice Regions. The least number of violations of the prohibition of illegal employment discovered by the competent authorities were in the Trenčín Region. It should be in the interest of the state that the people work based on legal contracts as it is the base of financial and budgetary stability of the state in the field of taxes and levies. Because of that reason, it would be suitable to intensify the inspections in the field concerned. The improvement of the economic environment and decreasing of the tax-levy burden of employers could also help to reduce the attractivity of illegal employment to the employers.

Abstract:
Pandemic of virus COVID-19 posed numerous and unprecedented challenges to citizens and authorities which required shift in behavior and actions of all segments of society. Representing Ombudsmen Institution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, authors shared their experience in monitoring implementation of the decisions of all levels of government and presented challenges in striking the right balance between interests of public health and protection of rights of vulnerable groups. Public authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina have passed emergency measures aimed at containing the spread of virus, but some of them failed to maintain human rights standards. Following the decisions of crisis centers to limit the freedom of movement, it was necessary to secure rights of children to education, protection from domestic violence and neglect in the family context. In introducing online education, authorities were asked to adapt recognition and grading system to the children in different conditions and circumstances, especially to the children with difficulties in development, children living in poverty and on margins of society such as Roma children or those living in institutions. Ombudsmen Institution registered increase in the number of domestic violence cases because measures limiting freedom of movement had impact on victims' ability to seek help from trusted sources, usually members of immediate family or representatives of law enforcement agencies. Having in mind that large number of citizens could not afford access to the official gazettes in any form, Ombudsmen requested that all enacted legislation be accessible online recommended that the decision banning reporters from conferences be reconsidered, guided by the right of citizens to be informed of their government actions. Examining the practice of placing COVID stickers on mail by the Post Office, Ombudsmen issued recommendation to stop such practice as it was deemed disproportional to the right to privacy and protection of personal data, while the protection of postal workers could have been ensured by other protective measures. It also became evident that national budgetary capacities had to be increased in order to prevent deterioration in provision of basic public services such as health and social protection, since economic consequences of the pandemic were disproportionally felt by the groups exposed to poverty, such as Roma, refugees or migrants. Drawing conclusion from concrete cases, authors offer review of particular emergency measures, analyze their adequacy, justifiability and timeliness, while presenting authorities’ response to Ombudsmen’s findings in formulating more adequate and efficient but, at the same time, least intrusive measures taken in response to the disaster. In search of common response to such widespread phenomenon, governments should recognize the intention of Ombudsmen Institutions to be in „permanent session“ over protection of vulnerable groups and should more actively involve it in discussions on emergency measures and their effect on human rights and freedoms. It proved to be better suited to act quickly, to apply more effective remedies and to correct government actions thanks to its knowledge of the local context than traditional institutions for protection of human rights, such as constitutional courts, international courts or treaty bodies.

Abstract:
Term energy efficient building is well know from year 1991, when Austrian physicist Dr. Feist designed and built first passive house, using current physical and practical knowledge. In the next 25 years buildings using principles of energy efficient design have changed dramatically. In a good way. It is mandatory for Slovak Republic as a part of European Union to act according European parliament directives. One of directives concerns lowering total energy consumption and emissions in the building sector – Directive 2010/31/EU on Energy performance of buildings, also known as Directive “20-20-20”. According to this directive, Slovak Republic has agreed to lower total energy consumption in building industry by 20% until year 2020. Plan on lowering total energy consumption has affected creation of new – technical and energy efficient building materials with emphasis on environmental load.

Abstract:
Ductile fibers are added to brittle matrix composites to increase the fracture toughness. To further improve fracture toughness, end shaped ductile fibers are added to act as anchors to utilize more of the fibers’ plasticity. Previous research focused on optimizing the volume of the shaped end for a given end shape family. Results indicate that for a given end shape family there is an optimum volume; above or below this volume results in a lower fracture toughness contribution. This research investigates two additional factors, adhesion of the matrix to the fiber and matrix shrinkage, and determines their effects on the fracture toughening of brittle matrix composites. The fiber was an annealed copper and the matrices used were a low shrinkage epoxy, a high shrinkage epoxy, and polyester. Results indicate that controlling the surface chemistry of the fiber can give an additional degree of freedom to the utilization of the fiber plasticity, although the importance of this control depends on the particular system. The fiber surface chemistry affects the bond strength and the adhesion; if the fiber cannot debond from the matrix, then shaping the end does not permit use of the plastic potential. Depending on the system, the adhesion and bond strength of the matrix to the fiber significantly affects the amount of fiber plasticity utilized. To determine the effects of friction and matrix shrinkage on the utilization of the fiber plasticity, release agent was applied to the end shaped fibers to reduce the adhesion, bond strength, and friction during pull out. Results indicate that frictional work and adhesion has a large impact on the utilization of the fiber plasticity; with release agent, the end shaped fiber utilizes little of the fiber plasticity. Furthermore, this indicates that for the matrices investigated, matrix shrinkage has a minor influence on the utilization of the fiber plasticity.

Abstract:
The transient thermal flash technique, originally developed for testing low thermal diffusivity micro/nanofibers, was implemented for measuring the thermal conductivity of vapor-grown carbon nanofibers. The present technique uses a microfabricated strip of gold, which acts both as a heater and a temperature sensor. The modifications were validated against commercially available carbon fibers (Pyrograf® – I from Applied Sciences, Inc. and Mitsubishi K13D2U) and the results obtained were seen to match values previously reported in the literature. The carbon nanofibers reported in this article were also obtained from Applied Sciences, Inc. and are known as PR-25, belonging to the Pyrograf® – III family of nanofibers. The thermal conductivities calculated based on the experimentally determined values of diffusivity along with the specific heat capacity and density of graphite were around 1100 W/m-K and 1700 W/m-K, respectively for the nanofibers heat treated to 1100 °C and 3000 °C.

Palabras claves: fotografía, autobiografía visual, autorretrato fotográfico, foto de familia, N.E.E. El objetivo de la investigación fue el de realizar a través de un taller de fotografía un estudio sobre el autorretrato fotográfico, la autobiografía visual, el álbum familiar y las fotos de familia como recursos de autoconocimiento en personas con NEE. Esta es una investigación cualitativa, con una población de 14 individuos con edades entre 22 y 32 años y características diversas: autismo, síndrome de Asperger, de Down, de Prader Willi, retraso mental. Las técnicas de recolección de datos utilizadas: documental, observación y evaluación pretest-postest sumativa. El taller se enfocó en hacer que el individuo fuera protagonista de su propio aprendizaje, ofreciéndoles herramientas para autoexplorarse, hablar a través del lenguaje fotográfico construyendo su relato en comunicación con otros. Acción que les animó a llevar a la palestra situaciones personales que vistas desde ese otro ángulo les permitieron ser conscientes de ellas. Se incluyeron los tres procesos comunicacionales (la lectura, la escritura, la oralidad) con el fin consolidar el proceso de la organización del código literario y/o fotográfico emitiendo un mensaje coherente y cohesionado, logrando la adecuación de lo escrito y la expresión de lo sentido. Se concluyó que la fotografía activa procesos de alto nivel relacionados con el acto de leer y escribir; a través de la creación del relato visual autobiográfico se llevó a cabo tanto el proceso interactivo, de inferencia, como el de connotación; ayuda al desarrollo de los diferentes tipos de inteligencias; en su faceta de autorretrato sirve de método proyectivo y de construcción y reconstrucción de la identidad propia ya que se convierte en instrumento con el que se crean nuevas y múltiples narrativas representadas por y a través de la construcción y/o reconstrucción de una historia personal; el álbum y la foto de familia son un medio privilegiado de narración, puesto que involucran a la persona y su presencia directamente con lo narrado, son recurso de evocación, rememoración de la ausencia, de lo que fue y ya no es. La foto de familia devuelve la voz a lo que no quiere ser nombrado, es memoria fragmentada que posibilita el llenado de huecos a través de la reinvención especulada de lo real. También reflexión de la identidad y vehículo para la resignificación experiencial de la vida. La imagen fotográfica es una herramienta eficaz para favorecer el autoconocimiento y la autoestima. Al ser utilizados como vehículos comunicacionales sirven para la creación de su propio relato de vida. Favorecen la toma de conciencia creando una correcta percepción de sí mismos y una valoración y construcción adecuada de su identidad. Acciones que ayudarán asimismo a integrarse de manera adecuada a sus capacidades en la sociedad de la cual forman parte. Finalmente se puede afirmar que la conexión entre la fotografía y la pedagogía como herramientas de transformación social es factible.

Abstract:
Abstract Industrial gas turbines like the MGT6000 are often operated as power supply or as mechanical drives for pumps and compressors at remote locations on islands and in deserts. Moreover, small gas turbines are used in CHP applications with a high need for availability. In these applications, liquid fuels like ‘Diesel Fuel No. 2’ can be used either as main fuel or as backup fuel if natural gas is not reliably available. The MAN Gas Turbines (MGT) operate with the Advanced Can Combustion (ACC) system, which is already capable of ultra-low NOx emissions for a variety of gaseous fuels. This system has been further developed to provide dry dual fuel capability to the MGT family. In the present paper, we describe the design and detailed experimental validation process of the liquid fuel injection, and its integration into the gas turbine package. A central lance with an integrated two-stage nozzle is employed as a liquid pilot stage, enabling ignition and start-up of the engine on liquid fuel only, without the need for any additional atomizing air. The pilot stage is continuously operated to support further the flame stabilization across the load range, whereas the bulk of the liquid fuel is injected through the premixed combustor stage. The premixed stage comprises a set of four decentralized nozzles placed at the exit of the main air swirler. These premixed nozzles are based on fluidic oscillator atomizers, wherein a rapid and effective atomization of the liquid fuel is achieved through self-induced oscillations of the liquid fuel stream. We present results of numerical and experimental investigations performed in the course of the development process illustrating the spray, hydrodynamic, and thermal performance of the pilot injectors. Extensive testing of the burner at atmospheric and full load high-pressure conditions has been performed, before verification of the whole combustion system within full engine tests. The burner shows excellent emission performance (NOx, CO, UHC, soot) without additional water injection, while maintaining the overall natural gas performance. Soot and particle emissions, quantified via several methods, are well below legal restrictions. Furthermore, when not in liquid fuel operation, a continuous purge of the injectors based on compressor outlet (p2) air has been laid out. Generic atmospheric coking tests were conducted before verifying the purge system in full engine tests. Thereby we completely avoid the need for an additional high-pressure auxiliary compressor or demineralized water. We show the design of the fuel supply and distribution system. We designed it to allow for rapid fuel switchovers from gaseous fuel to liquid fuel, and for sharp load jumps. Finally, we discuss the integration of the dual fuel system into the standard gas turbine package of the MGT6000 in detail.

Full text
Abstract:
In this paper CFD analysis of the steady two-phase turbulent combusting flow in a single annular low-NOx combustor is presented. For this purpose the commercial code CFD-ACE (1998) was used, where Eulerian equations are solved for the gas phase and the liquid spray fuel droplets are treated in a Lagrangian frame of reference allowing for evaporation of droplets and providing source terms for the gas phase. The standard k-ε model was used for turbulence and an assumed shape probability density function was used for the instantaneous chemistry in the conserved scalar combustion model. Thermal NOx is assumed to be the only source of NOx production and is decoupled from the gas phase reacting flow and calculated in a postprocessing step. The calculation is done on a block structured multi-domain computational grid. Particular attention has be paid to the detailed modeling of the fuel injector having multiple air swirler passages starting from the trailing edge of the air swirler vanes and utilizing up to 400000 computational grid cells for the entire model. The model represents the single annular low-NOx combustor for the BR700 aircraft engine family, which is based on a Rich Burn - Quick Quench - Lean Burn (RQL) concept. CFD analysis is done for high power reduced take off conditions and is compared with full annular rig test results for the temperature traverse and the integral EINOx. The results imply satisfactory prediction capability for the EINOx and the average radial temperature distribution. The prediction of the details of the temperature traverse is not satisfactory and will remain a challenge for the future.

Full text
Abstract:
As sandhill crane populations continue to grow in the United States, so too does crop damage, property damage to homeowners, and the risk of crane collisions with aircraft. Whooping crane populations also continue to grow, but with a global population of about 500 individuals (as of 2017), damage is rare and problems often require different solutions due to the species’ endangered status. The sandhill crane (Grus canadensis), is a long-lived, member of the crane family (Gruidae) and the most numerous of the 15 crane species found worldwide. Over the last 50 years, the species has grown from a rarity─ requiring extensive protection─ to an abundant, widespread species. As their populations have increased, so too have their conflicts with people. Both sandhill and whooping cranes are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918. This law strictly prohibits the capture, killing, or possession of sandhill and whooping cranes without proper permits. However, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) can issue depredation permits under this act for the shooting of sandhill cranes that causeagricultural damage or threaten human health and safety. No federal permit is required to use non-lethal management methods to reduce damage by sandhill cranes.

Quak, Evert-jan. The Link Between Demography and Labour Markets in sub-Saharan Africa. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), January 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2021.011.

Full text
Abstract:
This rapid review synthesises the literature from academic, policy, and knowledge institution sources on how demography affects labour markets (e.g. entrants, including youth and women) and labour market outcomes (e.g. capital-per-worker, life-cycle labour supply, human capital investments) in the context of sub-Saharan Africa. One of the key findings is that the fast-growing population in sub-Saharan Africa is likely to affect the ability to get productive jobs and in turn economic growth. This normally happens when workers move from traditional (low productivity agriculture and household businesses) sectors into higher productivity sectors in manufacturing and services. In theory the literature shows that lower dependency ratios (share of the non-working age population) should increase output per capita if labour force participation rates among the working age population remain unchanged. If output per worker stays constant, then a decline in dependency ratio would lead to a rise in income per capita. Macro simulation models for sub-Saharan Africa estimate that capital per worker will remain low due to consistently low savings for at least the next decades, even in the low fertility scenario. Sub-Saharan African countries seem too poor for a quick rise in savings. As such, it is unlikely that a lower dependency ratio will initiate a dramatic increase in labour productivity. The literature notes the gender implications on labour markets. Most women combine unpaid care for children with informal and low productive work in agriculture or family enterprises. Large family sizes reduce their productive labour years significantly, estimated at a reduction of 1.9 years of productive participation per woman for each child, that complicates their move into more productive work (if available). If the transition from high fertility to low fertility is permanent and can be established in a relatively short-term period, there are long-run effects on female labour participation, and the gains in income per capita will be permanent. As such from the literature it is clear that the effect of higher female wages on female labour participation works to a large extent through reductions in fertility.

Abstract:
Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial celebrates the lives of the Lincoln family including the final resting place of Abraham’s mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln. Lincoln’s childhood in Indiana was a formative time in the life our 16th president. When the Lincoln family arrived in Indiana, the property was covered in the oak-hickory forest type. They cleared land to create their homestead and farm. Later, designers of the memorial felt that it was important to restore woodlands to the site. The woodlands would help visitors visualize the challenges the Lincoln family faced in establishing and maintaining their homestead. Some stands of woodland may have remained, but significant restoration efforts included extensive tree planting. The Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network began monitoring the woodland in 2011 with repeat visits every four years. These monitoring efforts provide a window into the composition and structure of the wood-lands. We measure both overstory trees and the ground flora within four permanently located plots. At these permanent plots, we record each species, foliar cover estimates of ground flora, diameter at breast height of midstory and overstory trees, and tree regeneration frequency (tree seedlings and saplings). The forest species composition was relatively consistent over the three monitoring events. Climatic conditions measured by the Palmer Drought Severity Index indicated mild to wet conditions over the monitoring record. Canopy closure continued to indicate a forest structure with a closed canopy. Large trees (>45 cm DBH) comprised the greatest amount of tree basal area. Sugar maple was observed to have the greatest basal area and density of the 23 tree species observed. The oaks characteristic of the early woodlands were present, but less dominant. Although one hickory species was present, it was in very low abundance. Of the 17 tree species recorded in the regeneration layer, three species were most abundant through time: sugar maple (Acer saccharum), red bud (Cercis canadensis), and ash (Fraxinus sp.). Ash recruitment seemed to increase over prior years and maple saplings transitioned to larger size classes. Ground flora diversity was similar through time, but alpha and gamma diversity were slightly greater in 2019. Percent cover by plant guild varied through time with native woody plants and forbs having the greatest abundance. Nonnative plants were also an important part of the ground flora composition. Common periwinkle (Vinca minor) and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) continued to be the most abundant nonnative species, but these two species were less abundant in 2019 than 2011. Unvegetated ground cover was high (mean = 95%) and increased by 17% since 2011. Bare ground increased from less than 1% in 2011 to 9% in 2019, but other ground cover elements were similar to prior years. In 2019, we quantified observer error by double sampling two plots within three of the monitoring sites. We found total pseudoturnover to be about 29% (i.e., 29% of the species records differed between observers due to observer error). This 29% pseudoturnover rate was almost 50% greater than our goal of 20% pseudoturnover. The majority of the error was attributed to observers overlooking species. Plot frame relocation error likely contributed as well but we were unable to separate it from overlooking error with our design.
