Gender Equality in the Division of Housework and Fertility Intentions in Canada: The Moderating Effect of Employment and Education

Drawing on the Gender Revolution Framework, this research uses data from Canada General Social Survey and binary logistic regression to examine how the gender division of housework influences fertility intentions among partnered women aged 18–39 ( N = 1589), across various employment and education levels. Unadjusted results showed that women who shared household routine tasks (cooking, cleaning, dishes, and laundry) and intermittent tasks (grocery shopping, organizing social life, finance, and bill paying) with their partner had higher intentions to have children. The adjusted findings revealed that women’s employment status moderated the relationship between gender division of household routine tasks and fertility intentions, while education had no significant moderating effect. Employed women who did not share equally household routine tasks with their spouse had a lower probability of intention to have children (0.22), compared to their unemployed counterparts (0.48). The findings have significant implications for social and family policies that are discussed in detail.

The mobilisation of self-created workplace artifacts for management accountants’ identity work

This paper investigates how self-created workplace artifacts complement management accountants’ identity work towards managers. Analysing qualitative data collected in three organisations, I illustrate how self-created artifacts can support management accountants in establishing identity-compatible interactions with managers through (1) mediating interactions and (2) formalising the division of tasks. Moreover, I suggest that producing artifacts that are both occupations-generic and speaking (Cacciatori, 2012) can support management accountants in establishing identity-compatible interactions. By introducing self-created artifacts as an additional resource for identity work, this paper nuances our knowledge of how management accountants navigate towards the achievement of (fragile) identity aspirations. Moreover, it improves our understanding of the dynamics between workplace artifacts and management accountants’ identity (work), emphasising how artifacts can play a central and active role in this regard.

Enhancing security offloading performance in NOMA heterogeneous MEC networks using access point selection and meta-heuristic algorithm

The research delves into the intricate domain of security offloading within the context of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) heterogeneous mobile edge computing (het-MEC) networks operating over Rayleigh fading channels. The investigation centers on a system model comprising a single antenna-equipped edge user, denoted as U, which strategically offloads computational tasks to two distinct heterogeneous wireless access points (APs): the far AP (AP1) and the near one (AP2), employing NOMA techniques. Notably, the research accounts for a passive eavesdropper (E) intending to intercept the U−AP2 transmission. A four-phase protocol is proposed to ensure the security offloading process, namely SAPS, which leverages wireless access point selection (APS) and physical layer security (PLS) techniques. The focus extends to derive a closed-form expression for a novel critical system performance metric: the secrecy successful computation probability (SSCP). Furthermore, an algorithm based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) within the continuous domain is introduced, which aims to enhance the SSCP by intelligently determining system parameters. The impact of critical factors such as transmit power, power allocation coefficient, bandwidth, CPU frequency, and task division ratio under the SAPS scheme is explored and compared to the conventional approach using pure NOMA. Remarkably, the algorithm in the proposed scheme demonstrates up to a 3% performance improvement. The validity and accuracy of the study findings are verified through Monte-Carlo simulations. The work contributes significantly to advancing secure offloading strategies in NOMA-based MEC networks, offering valuable insights for practical deployment and optimization.

Do household and childcare task divisions prospectively predict engagement in time-costly continuing education among Dutch working mothers and fathers?

Despite its importance for career development, previous cross-sectional studies have shown that individuals are reluctant to consider continuing education (CE) engagement because of family responsibilities. To prospectively test these associations, a longitudinal dataset consisting of, respectively, 548 and 809 working mothers and fathers (with one or more living-at-home children of 12 years or younger) was extracted from a Dutch population–based internet survey. Whether respondents were engaged in T2 CE was prospectively predicted by T1a (with an average 466-day time-lag) household labour, childcare division, and job–household focus, while controlling for several relevant T1b job and household characteristics. Using generalised linear mixed models, outcomes reveal that only mothers are less likely to engage in CE when they had less children. Division of household labour, childcare, and job–household focus were all not predictive of CE at T2. Future studies should examine moderators of the association between family responsibilities and CE engagement.

Manajerial Keuangan dalam Pengelolaan Pajak berlandaskan Sistem Informasi Akuntansi pada Perusahaan Swasta di Semarang

This study analyzes financial management in a private company in Semarang through information management systems in payroll administration. The data were divided into five categories: general, finance, accounting, sales administration, and accounting. The analysis method used was information system analysis with five steps, including monitoring, business processes, task delegation, independent verification, and capture procedures. The business process involves several entities in the application of VAT, Income Tax Article 21, and Income Tax Article 23. The delegation of tasks is considered ineffective because the number of employees is not proportional to the volume of work, which has a negative impact on the company's revenue. Supervision is carried out by the payroll department to ensure data accuracy. Supporting factors for the use of information management systems include information technology, user-friendly systems, top management support, and employee expertise. Conversely, inhibiting factors include lack of funds, declining number of tax employees, and ineffective division of tasks. An independence verification process was also conducted to ensure compliance with the prevailing tax laws in Indonesia.

A self-adaptive memetic algorithm with Q-learning for solving the multi-AGVs dispatching problem

In this paper, we address the problem of dispatching multiple automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in an actual production workshop, aiming to minimize the transportation cost. To solve this problem, a self-adaptive memetic algorithm with Q-learning (Q-SAMA) is proposed. An improved nearest-neighbor task division heuristic is used for generating premium solutions. Additionally, a Q-learning is integrated to select appropriate neighborhood operators, thereby enhancing the algorithm's exploration ability. To prevent the algorithm from falling into a local optimum, the restart strategy is offered. In order to adapt Q-SAMA to different stages in the search process, the traditional crossover and mutation probabilities are no longer used. Instead, a self-adaptive probability is obtained based on the population's degree of concentration, and the sparsity relationship among individuals' fitness. Finally, experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. It is able to yield better results compared with other five state-of-the-art algorithms.

Job satisfaction of nurses and the determinants of organizational climate: insights from hospitals in Lubelskie Voivodeship

Abstract Aim. Evaluation of nurses’ job satisfaction and the interconnectedness of the infl uence of dimensions of organizational climate. Material and methods. The study was conducted in 2022 among 300 nurses working in fi ve hospitals in Lublin Voivodeship. Methodology focused on outcomes was employed, highlighting the signifi cance of factors related to the organizational environment in shaping “job satisfaction”. The research tool was the Organizational Climate Questionnaire by L. Rosenstiel and R. Boegel, adapted from the Polish version by K. Durniat. Results. Most respondents report a high 121 (40.3%) or relatively high 142 (47.3%) level of satisfaction with their profession. Only 37 (12.4%) nurses reported a low level. Factors contributing to decreased satisfaction included negative relationships with management, diminished importance of organizational procedures implemented by supervisors, insufficient time for direct patient care, failure to meet patient and family expectations, and inadequate compensation. Conclusions. Nurses’ job satisfaction depended on the overall organizational climate in the hospital and its components: the overall image of the organization, employees’ perceptions of their superiors’ leadership style, and various aspects of the work organization process, ways of structuring, division of tasks and the degree of control over their implementation.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Paternal Parenting Experience: A Scoping Review.

The objective of this scoping review was to map the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the paternal parenting experience. Studies published between January 2020 and October 2021 reporting on paternal mental health, interparental relations, and child interactions were eligible. Forty studies from 17 different countries were included. Most studies included data from both mothers and fathers (83%); five studies reported data from fathers only, and three examined same-sex partners. Most commonly reported outcomes included division of childcare activities (n = 14), delegation of household tasks (n = 10), depression (n = 12), and stress (n = 9). The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on fathers varied globally with no clear trends except for the division of childcare and household tasks, in which fathers increased their contribution to childcare and household tasks yet mothers continued to experience a higher domestic burden. Further research is recommended to advance our understanding of how fathers coped during the COVID-19 pandemic and document the long-term impact of the pandemic on families.

Tareas de cuidado de los menores de 14 años en las parejas de doble proveeduría en México, 2019

Mexico is one of the countries where gender inequalities have been recognized, primarily due to the poor distribution of time and domestic caregiving responsibilities between women and men within households. Additionally, there is evident growth in dual-earner couples, replacing the traditional model where the man was the sole provider. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine if there is greater equality in the allocation of time and caregiving activities for children under 14 in dual-earner couples in Mexico in 2019, through the analysis of time usage and the division of caregiving tasks for children under 14, as well as time spent on paid work. The source of information used to achieve this purpose is the 2019 National Time Use Survey (ENUT, 2019). The results indicate that although women are integrated into the labor market, they actually dedicate nearly the same amount of time to childcare as women who exclusively focus on homemaking, resulting in a double burden of work and persisting inequalities between men and women within households.

Research of integrated spiral maneuvering and guidance based on virtual target

To address the issue of interception, maneuvering, and precise guidance during the final stage of gliding flight, a study was conducted on the design of integrated maneuvering and guidance using a spiral trajectory as the focus. Firstly, the spiral trajectory was decomposed into an optimal reference trajectory considering the glide angle constraint and a relative motion trajectory. Then, virtual circular moving targets were introduced to meet the requirements of spiral maneuvering and virtual trajectory moving targets were introduced to ensure trajectory convergence, based on the task division of different flight stages. Finally, the guidance rate of the reference trajectory was designed based on optimal control theory, and the guidance rate of the spiral maneuver was designed based on pure proportional guidance. Simulation results show that this guidance method can enable the vehicle to perform active spiral maneuvers, and control the landing deviation and impact angle deviation to within 2.5 m and 1 degree, respectively.
