Marie Curie programme under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP/2007-2013) / Career Integration Grant n. PCIG10-GA-2011-303728 (CIG Grant NBHCHOICE, Neighbourhood choice, neighbourhood sorting, and neighbourhood effects). The extent to which socioeconomic (dis)advantage is transmitted between generations is receiving increasing attention from academics and policymakers. However, few studies have investigated whether there is a spatial dimension to this intergenerational transmission of (dis)advantage. Drawing on the concept of neighbourhood biographies, this study contends that there are links between the places individuals live with their parents and their subsequent neighbourhood experiences as independent adults. Using individual-level register data tracking the whole Stockholm population from 1990 to 2008, and bespoke neighbourhoods, this study is the first to use sequencing techniques to construct individual neighbourhood histories. Through visualisation methods and ordered logit models, we demonstrate that the socioeconomic composition of the neighbourhood children lived in before they left the parental home is strongly related to the status of the neighbourhood they live in 5, 12 and 18 years later. Children living with their parents in high poverty concentration neighbourhoods are very likely to end up in similar neighbourhoods much later in life. The parental neighbourhood is also important in predicting the cumulative exposure to poverty concentration neighbourhoods over a long period of early adulthood. Ethnic minorities were found to have the longest cumulative exposure to poverty concentration neighbourhoods. These findings imply that for some groups, disadvantage is both inherited and highly persistent. ; OTB ; Architecture and The Built Environment

Scottish Recommended Lists for Cereals 2021/22 The Scottish cereals lists include varieties of spring and winter barley, wheat and oats that are of most agronomic and commercial value to Scottish growers and the cereals sector. Recommendations are made by SRUC supported by the Scottish Variety Consultative Committee and are based on data collected as part of the AHDB Recommended List and Scottish Government National List system. Highlights for 2021/22 The spring barley list has been consolidated with the main malting choices being Laureate and LG Diablo, both dual-purpose distilling and brewing varieties, and KWS Sassy, a distilling variety. Fairing remains on the list as the only fully approved grain distilling variety. Looking ahead, SY Tungsten and Firefoxx continue to make progress as they are evaluated commercially for malting use. The only new spring barley variety is Skyway, which has potential for brewing. The winter barley list includes three new two-row feed varieties, KWS Tardis, Bolton and Bordeaux, plus two new six-row hybrids, SY Kingston and SY Thunderbolt. The leading two-row feed choices are LG Mountain, KWS Orwell, KWS Tower, Valerie and KWS Hawking. The Scottish winter wheat list has increased to eighteen varieties, twelve of which are suitable for the grain distilling market. The leading distilling varieties are LG Skyscraper, Elation and KWS Jackal, supported by the biscuit-making variety Elicit. There are five new distilling varieties, Swallow, a soft feed variety, and soft-milling choices, LG Prince, LG Illuminate, LG Quasar and LG Astronomer. The other new entry to the list is a spring feed wheat variety, WPB Escape. There are no new spring or winter oat varieties. Sixteen varieties have been removed from the lists because of limited market interest, or low agronomic value. These are spring barley varieties Concerto, RGT Asteroid, Propino and Scholar; winter barleys KWS Cassia, KWS Creswell, LG Flynn, Jordan and Libra; winter wheat varieties Zulu, KWS Lili and Grafton and spring oats Firth, Yukon, Delfin and Elison.

Die Bedrohungen durch die Klimakrise werden im Kulturbereich intensiv diskutiert und zwingen zum Handeln. Denn auch Kulturmacher*innen müssen Verantwortung für eine nachhaltige Gesellschaft übernehmen und ihre Produktionsweisen dahingehend umstellen. Doch wie kann die damit verbundene Transformation gelingen und welche kulturpolitischen Weichenstellungen sind notwendig? Zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen versammelt das Jahrbuch für Kulturpolitik 2021/22 bekannte Expert*innen aus Wissenschaft, Kulturpolitik, Kulturverwaltung und Kulturpraxis, die den Kulturwandel zur Nachhaltigkeit systematisch erfassen und Handlungsoptionen für die Zukunft aufzeigen.

Through a commentary on the enriching experience of receiving feedback through the Brewing Legal Times author-meets-reader session in February 2018, this piece reflects on the intellectual generosity and scholarly labour that makes such sessions an important form of academic social reproduction.

The article highlights the features of the idiostyle of Victor Domontovych, a writer of 1920s, a representative of modernist artistic discourse. The stylistic manner of the author's writing shows his intellectualism, principles of his extraordinary scientifically oriented linguistic thinking. V. Domontovych depicts artistic reality through the prism of the ontological clash of categories of rational and irrational, real and unreal, intellectual and primitive-bourgeois, sexual and asexual. Using the concepts of plausible and implausible, real and conditional, the author characterizes the psycho-behavioral stereotypes of his characters in order to comment and evaluate their actions and decisions; he often uses a descriptive and contemplative manner, and forms of logical conclusions; therefore, a symbiosis of scientific and fictional presentation is formed.
Domontovych's texts are full of ironic and mocking intonations in order to expose spirituality, low culture, meanness; the author strongly condemns selfishness, callousness, dishonesty in the behavior of the characters; the sharpness of his critical vision is directed against the arrogance of the intelligentsia, unjustified rationalism, scientific-like thinking, and bourgeoisie. The intellectual novels of the writer can be considered as extended metaphorical constructions, integral figurative and symbolic structures, profound artistic worldview carriers, as well as systems of meaning mythologizing. The author's usage of linguistic and stylistic means is not extensive; they are unusual in their associative-figurative aspect and intended for the domain of cognitively meaningful perception. The expressiveness of texts is achieved through an implicit coded word usage, there is space for the reader to think creatively as the texts rely on the conceptual interaction within the system Author-Text-Reader.

Independent, democratic, and post Soviet, Kyrgyzstan or the Central Asian Kyrgyz Republic, is in the midst of multiple changes that involve its cultural identity, economic incentive structure, government, and laws, all of which have an impact on the country's educational systems and educational practices. In addition to national and local initiatives, multiple international entities, including other countries, multinational corporations, private individuals, and international non-governmental agencies are and have been involved in initiatives involving education in Kyrgyzstan since its independence in 1991 at the dissolution of the Soviet Union. These initiatives are meant to address disruption in the funding of school, libraries, educator professional development, and educational infrastructure as well as the ageing and replacement of Soviet-era curriculum materials. This paper describes multiple, simultaneous policy, outreach, and research initiatives around open education which were held at, conducted by, and participated in in Kyrgyzstan by Faculty and Library Staff at the American University of Central Asia. The paper will review recent changes in Kyrgyz Copyright law (authored in part by an AUCA law faculty member) including official recognition of Creative Commons licenses, affirmation of the Marrakesh Treaty and library roles in administering activities affiliated with the Treaty. The paper will review government, foreign government, and non-government initiatives around open education in Kyrgyzstan, and those of University networks within Kyrgyzstan. Attention will be given to the goals and methods of capacity-building consultations conducted as part of the U.S. Fulbright Specialist program at American University of Central Asia (AUCA), and an administrator/faculty/library initiated open education pilot program undertaken at AUCA. Finally, the paper will end with results from two surveys: results of student, faculty, and administrator open education pilot perception survey (December 2017), and results of a survey of 100+ faculty and librarians working in Kyrgyz institutions of higher education (October-November 2017).
