Collective Portrait of Deputies of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR and Union Republics in 1938–1989

In 1938–1989, Supreme Soviets of the USSR and Union Republics were the successors of the Congresses of Soviets and performed the same functions assigned to them by the ruling party — to approve and convert the decisions of the Сommunist Party into laws, to support the policy pursued by the party and the government, to legitimize the existing regime. The Soviets performed these functions quite successfully due to the fact that the deputy corps included people from all social groups loyal to the regime and at the same time influential, authoritative, and well-known throughout the country. A simple Soviet citizen believed in the deputies and the real power of the Supreme Soviets, thanks to which the Soviets, having no real power, had great symbolic power, which allowed them until 1989 to maintain the trust of the people in the Soviet system and the communist project. In 1938–1989, the composition of the deputies of the Supreme Soviets of the USSR and the union republics underwent important changes: there was an in increase in the proportion of workers and peasants, women, educated people, and people of mature and senior age; the proportion of employees, Russians and semi-literate people decreased. The deputies’ corps became more balanced in all respects and significantly more educated, but members and candidates of the Communist Party, men, employees, intellectuals, functionaries, were still overrepresented, and non-party workers, peasants and Russians were underrepresented. In general, the deputy corps was comprised of the elite; the Supreme Soviets of the Union and Autonomous Republics — of the national elite of the titular peoples. They were not professional politicians, as in Western parliaments, but the elite. For the majority of deputies, activity in the Soviets was not the main profession, but an honorable part-time job on a voluntary basis.

Examining the Relationship Between Maternal Employment Guilt and Internalized Sexism in Mothers with Preschool Children

Motherhood is an important part of gender inequality discussions and the basis of the unequal division of labor based on gender is mostly based on motherhood roles. It is stated that employed women have a high level of work-family conflict, perceive themselves to be far from being the "ideal" mother, and have higher levels of guilt. The internalization of sexist standards is thought to be effective in triggering and increasing feelings of guilt. In this context, this research sought to examine the sense of guilt felt by working mothers of pre-school children and the relationship of this feeling with internalized sexism and sociodemographic variables. 209 working mothers of pre-school children either in a part-time or full-time job participated in the study. Descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were employed in the study. The results showed that the mother’s guilt was positively related to the sub-dimensions of internalized sexism. Specifically, internalized powerlessness/loss of self and self-objectification from sub-dimensions of internalized sexism significantly predicted the mother’s guilt. Additionally, weekly working hours and the number of children also predicted the mother’s guilt. These results are important in terms of revealing the risks caused by the internalization of sexist norms that put serious pressure on mothers. Efforts towards gender equality are of great importance in increasing the quality of life for mothers in the family life and workplace.

The Relationship of Demographical Factors on University Students’ Coping Strategy

This study examined the relationship between demographical factors and coping strategies in higher education students. A total of 606 students from a large public university in the Indonesia completed a survey that included measures of demographical variables (such as gender, age, living area, siblings, spending in a month, part-time job, and living arrangement) and coping strategies (such as problem focused, emotional focused, and disengagement). The results of the study indicated that having a part-time job was significantly correlated with coping strategies, in particularly problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping. While gender, age, living area, siblings, spending in a month, and living arrangement, were not observed to be significantly correlated with coping strategies. The findings of this study have a crucial implications for understanding the relationship of demographical factors affect coping strategy in university students. Furthermore, these findings may inform the development of interventions to support university students’ mental health. Future research should consider employing participants from various background and a longitudinal design to comprehensively understand the relationship between demographical factors and coping strategy in university students.

EFL LEARNERS’ PERCEPTION TOWARDS THE ONLINE LEARNING

The purpose of the study is to describe perception of students on online learning. The research is a qualitative that employs a case study as the method of the research. It focuses on how they face online learning. The researcher took the data from the students in the first semester. The first semester students are regular students and workers (have part-time job while studying). To collect the data, each student was interviewed. The interview applied was semi-structured; a type of interview in the category of in-depth interviews, for instance, interviews that are more freely conducted when compared to structured interviews. The analyses from the students’ perception show that online learning is ineffective and most of students feel uninterested. They like teaching and learning in the classroom. Furthermore, some troubles in online learning emerged such as losing connection and adjusting with the online class (zoom / google meeting). The unclear and less interaction also become the problem of online learning. It needs of course several meetings offline at least in one semester. However, online learning should be applied for the students who cannot attend to classroom. Based on the interview, tools for online learning to use are WhatsApp, google classroom, google meeting, and Zoom meeting. In addition, the result of the research shows that the most interesting tool that the student use is zoom meeting since the students are able to experience face to face interaction either to the lecturers or the other students. Although there is sometimes a problem from the signal, they can communicate and ask directly to the lecturer at least. For the future, Hybrid learning can be employed as the technology grows.

Klammer (bio) notes on a thesis Tiphaine Rivière Penguin https://www.penguin.com.au/books/notes-on-a-thesis-9781473557512 184 pages; Print, $14.99 Near the end of the second year of my PhD program, my peers and I spent a good chunk of time assembling our plans of study. The process was shrouded in mystery, mostly because the plan-of-study form required us to outline what courses we would take for the remainder of our years in graduate school, despite the fact that course offerings were only visible to students about a half-semester in advance. We turned in our plans of study with wild guesses and speculation. None of us knew how long approval from the graduate college would take, only that approval was needed to take our comprehensive exams. Months passed, the pandemic struck. About a year later, during a university holiday, I received a notification that my plan had been rejected, because "the courses taken did not match the courses outlined in the plan of study." No shit. I called the graduate college in a panic, as is the natural response of the graduate student. "I need this plan approved in the next four months in time for my exam. It took you a year to get back to me on the first plan, how long will the revisions take?!" Bob, a graduate student working for the graduate college, assured me I shouldn't worry about it. Once I'd submitted revisions, he said, I could just call and they can would expedite the process. But the process would not be so simple. I made the revisions and emailed my adviser to get her approval. She emailed me back the next day, telling me she could not approve the changes; the previous semester a member of my committee left the university, and I had not yet found a replacement. She could not sign off until a replacement was found. Time was short. I emailed a new faculty member who at the time was inundated with similar requests from students also attempting to replace said faculty member. I heard back [End Page 18] a month later, after a second prodding email. The instructor wanted to set up a meeting to discuss my request the following weekend. Time was short. My hair was falling out as it had continued to do since the start of my second year. By the time I sent in my revisions, I had but a few months to attain approval from the graduate college. I waited two weeks before I called them. "We can't expedite the approval process," Sandra told me. "We will process them in the order they are received. If you had a deadline you had to meet, you should have sent this in earlier." I employed my most powerful strategy: pitiful begging. "But I sent it in a year ago. If I don't get this approved, I won't be able to take my exam. I'll have to wait a whole year. I don't know what to do. Please, you have to help me!" Sandra told me to get bent. I was ruined. Oh, well. I found out the next day that the wording in the graduate handbook was misleading (or, more likely, that my reading comprehension skills were severely lacking) and that I did not need my plan of study approved to take my exams. I went home and drank.

Marxist and Socialist Feminism, and Women in Technology Sector: A Comparative Study of Japan and USA Appraisal

Through Marxist and Socialist feminism frameworks, this paper seek to evaluate the conditions of women in Japan and especially in technology sector. The Marxist and Socialist argue that the economic dependence on a husband and the patriarchy in the government is oppressing women. Whether women are workers and also mothers, or just mothers depend on the state’s needs. In Japan, while Education and Employment rates in women increase drastically in the past two decades, many women chose low-pay or part-time jobs, gender wage gap still remain large up until today, and mothers still face numerous hardships. Employed women around the world encounter many challenges, such as work-family conflict, hostile workplace environment, harassment, lack of mentorship. The situation in technology sector is expected to be worse than that. By comparing the United States with Japan about women in tech, we can see and understand the difficulties of women in technology sector in not just Japan but also United States.

Analysis of the Influence of Part-Time Work on Student Learning Activities

Education is one of the necessities of life that every individual must have. One level of education is a college education. In tertiary institutions' learning process, students are inseparable from financial needs for learning needs and living standards. This need forces students to do part-time jobs. Part-time jobs are growing from time to time. Part-time work has both positive and negative effects on student development in the world of work. This study aims to analyze part-time jobs for students of the 2017 Geography Education Department, their relation to learning activities, and the factors that motivate students to work part-time. This study uses a quantitative approach with simple analytical techniques. The population in this study were all students of the 2017 class of the Geography Education Department, with a sample of 20 students. Data collection techniques using a questionnaire. The study results show a significant effect of part-time work and learning activities with a substantial value of 0.037 <0.05. The main factor for students is working part-time because of the financial need for college needs and the standard of living. Part-time jobs done by students are online motorcycle taxi drivers, shopkeepers, salespeople, private tutors, and web programmers.Keywords: Part-Time, Student, Geography Education, Learning Activities

Moonlighting by employees-Is it an organizational problem or is it economic slowdown?

Every organization provides wages to their employees. Besides dearness allowances and housing allowance keeps getting enhanced periodically to help them beat high prices of essential commodities and manage the cost of living. Many organizations also give bonus and many other fringe benefits (transportation housing water and electricity at subsidized rates and also bonus in order to keep their employees happy to let them maintain a decent standard of living. But some of the employees feel that additional expenses such as higher education for their children marriage, and other family expenses mount up unexpectedly and so hence they had to earn extra income to make both ends meet. Thus they engage in side jobs, part time jobs other small businesses or start any small shops etc: simultaneously besides their original jobs which is known as “moonlighting or double jobbing”. In view of the current problem of moonlighting by company employees which has posed a big problem in their productivity in the organization. This issue has been taken seriously by all managements. The place of study is Bangalore urban and rural areas in its surroundings. The research problem has shown that post pandemic in the later part of 2021 rising prices of common goods has irked many people no end. This has made many employees take up side jobs to supplement their income. Mainly this pinch was felt by lower income groups who struggled to make both ends meet and educate their children. But the point is was this risk worth taking? With much management trying to lay off employees on some pretext or the other this part time jobbing was totally under a cloud as there was a shortage of employees to work overtime thereby lynching the main goals of the organization. Moonlighting thus resulted in not making the employees be available for extra work or too tired to work for the parent company. Sample size was 200 and taken from group D employees. Research methodology followed was to use both primary as well as secondary data working in government offices who did part time jobs working as domestic maids job typing in the evenings selling stamp papers outside municipal offices, and running small eatries selling snacks etc. Primary data was collected by mean of questionnaire and interview method. Sampling design was simple random and descriptive analysis was followed. Data was analyzed using simple percentage method. The findings showed that moonlighting was a common phenomena and all managements never tolerated it. Employees found moonlighting were either fired or suspended. Due to high inflation and rising prices taking up part time jobs became almost a necessity today though moonlighting technically was not right.

Influence of working conditions and salary on agency work for intermediate and intensive care units : Part2: Partial results of a nationwide survey.

Agency work in nursing is used as aform of labor to counter vacant staff positions in hospitals. Both hospital owners and nurses view this critically for different reasons. The aim of this study was to assess what personal net income nurses in German intensive care units and intermediate care units consider "fair and sufficient" for their work (addressed in Part1 of the survey) and what influence-aside from the salary-the working conditions have on the willingness to change to temporary work or back to apermanent position. From September to October 2020, an anonymous online survey was conducted among nurses of intermediate care units, intensive care units, and special care units in German-speaking countries. Descriptive statistics were used for the analysis. Of 1203 participants, 86% (n = 1036) could be evaluated. None of the job satisfaction factors queried received four or five stars (maximum five stars) from those participating in the survey. The most unsatisfied group proved to be regularly employed nurses with an additional part-time job. Key job satisfaction factors differed markedly between the groups, with regular employees favoring consistency and stability. Agency workers prefer gaining experience in abroader range of tasks. Unreliable duty rosters and poor nurse to patient ratios were common points of criticism. For job satisfaction, making nurses feel appreciated and respected is essential. This includes aguaranteed nurse to patient ratio and reliable duty rosters that also include tasks outside direct patient care. In order for nurses to leave agency work, it is necessary to take into account the differences in interests in terms of the focus of activity.

Testing the longitudinal effect of metacognitive beliefs on the trajectory of work ability

There is increasing need to identify factors that contribute to poor work ability with an aim to prevent work related problems such as sick leave and disability pension. In the Metacognitive Control System model, dysfunctional metacognitive beliefs are seen as an underlying factor in psychological vulnerability beyond disorder, and recent studies have reported that metacognitions are associated with work ability and work status. In the present study, we set out to test if there is a prospective relationship between dysfunctional metacognitions and self-assessed work ability. Individuals in working age (M = 37.19; SD = 10.31) participated in a four-timepoint self-report survey (N = 528; 75% females) separated by six weeks between each timepoint. Baseline gender differences and differences between participants by job status were conducted using t-test and one-way ANOVA, respectively. Latent growth curve with covariates assessed the impact of dysfunctional metacognitions on work ability across the four timepoints. Males reported higher work ability. Participants in fulltime job also reported higher work ability followed by those in part-time job, jobseekers, sick leave up to 12 months, and sick leave > 12 months, respectively. Dysfunctional metacognitions predicted work ability over time when controlling for gender, age, physical health status, and three common categories of emotional distress symptoms. This finding suggest that dysfunctional metacognitions are a prospective predictor of work ability beyond health status and implies that these beliefs should be targeted with a view to increasing work ability and thus potentially reduce risk for sick leave and other work-related problems.

Preparing for Careers: Emerging Adults’ Perceptions of Career Messages Received from Different Vocational Anticipatory Socialization Sources

ABSTRACT The six sources of vocational anticipatory socialization (VAS) information communicate important career-related messages that are vital to the future success of emerging adults. Building on previous research that identified the types of messages provided to adolescents, the current study assessed the quality and usefulness of these messages. A total of 251 emerging adults (mean age = 20.74; SD = 3.2) discussed their use of VAS sources, including parents, schools, peers, part-time jobs, traditional media, and the Internet. A quantitative content analysis was conducted on participants’ open-ended responses to the types of VAS sources they use and the reasons for utilizing these sources. Results indicate that emerging adults go to the Internet more than any other VAS source. The current study shows that the Internet is increasing as a popular source of VAS information, while emerging adults seek and receive different types of VAS information from different VAS sources.

Meanwhile Gabriela is a cool, calm, conventionally gorgeous Mexican American daughter of lesbian mothers who scrape to get by financially even with Gabriela’s part-time job.

The Relationship between Perceived Organizational Support and the Intentions of International Students in Hungary to Stay in Hungary: The Role of Conflict Climate and Intercultural Adjustment

In recent years, Hungary has seen a dramatic increase in the number of international students, particularly since the government launched a scholarship program to encourage more talented overseas students to study at Hungarian universities. The mobilities of these students have notably increased their participation in part-time jobs or internships in the host country. These work experiences could broaden the perspectives of international students regarding the organizational operation modes in the host country’s firms; moreover, they may impact their ability to interculturally adjust to the host country’s culture, clarifying their intentions to stay or not. This article attempts to find out how perceived organizational support (POS) affects international students’ plans to stay and work abroad (IS), as well as what roles conflict management climate (CMC) and intercultural adjustment (IA) play in this relationship. A linear snowball sampling method was used to collect the data. The study’s sample was taken from international students in Hungary with part-time jobs or internships. A self-administrated questionnaire was distributed to the participants through online channels. The PLS-SEM method was used to empirically test the proposed hypothesis. Later, a total of 433 valid answers were used for the analysis. The results reveal that POS positively and significantly affects CMC and IA but has no significant effect on IS. Moreover, IA is the only factor that has a direct impact on IS and it shows a significant mediating impact on the relationship between POS and IS. The findings contribute to the success of Hungarian organizations in retaining talented young (or soon-to-graduate) employees in their companies by encouraging their intentions to stay in the country.

Racial and gender inequality regimes in sport: occupational segregation and wage gaps in the U.S. spectator sports industry

ABSTRACT Research question While previous studies of sport industry diversity highlight racial and gender inequalities amongst top management, coaches, and athletes, we lack an understanding of diversity across the broader workforce, particularly amongst lower status and part-time workers. This study examines occupational segregation and wage gaps in the U.S. spectator sports industry, drawing from racialized and gendered organization theories to understand how the industry (re)produces inequality. Research methods Using American Community Survey data, hypothesis tests compared percentages of workers by race, ethnicity, and sex for occupations to percentages of the U.S. population. Regression analyses further examined occupational segregation and earnings differentials by race, ethnicity, and sex, with comparisons to the broader workforce. Results and Findings Results show women and racial minorities are overrepresented in less powerful, lower-earning, and part-time jobs. Large earnings differentials by sex, race, and ethnicity are found across occupations within the sports workforce. Compared to non-sport industries, occupational segregation is greater, and earnings gaps are generally similar or smaller in the sport industry. Implications This research expands understanding of sport industry diversity by highlighting the overrepresentation of women and racial minorities in lower status positions in an industry where white men dominate positions of power. In doing so, it highlights the industry’s operation as an inequality regime, (re)producing inequality through structures and practices.

Is multidimensional precarious employment higher for women?

This article examines the relative employment situation of female employees from a novel perspective based on the construction of multidimensional indicators of employment precariousness that allow examining its scale and nature. The evidence obtained for Spain shows that both the intensity and incidence of precarious employment are significantly higher for women, to the point that half of the women are multidimensionally precarious (with an incidence which is 40% higher than that of men) and precarious females simultaneously suffer on average from nearly three deficiencies in their jobs. Although female employment precariousness is highly persistent over time, it also exhibits significant oscillations plausibly linked to changes in the economy's cyclical position and in labour market regulations. Moreover, it exhibits a great heterogeneity by subgroups (it has even an extreme nature for certain subgroups of females) and by individuals (25% of women suffer between three and six job deficiencies, which compares with 24% of women having jobs without any type of deficiency). Finally, although the greater labour precariousness of women is largely explained by their observed characteristics, particularly by their greater presence in part-time jobs, women still have a greater probability of being precarious than observationally similar men.
