Schwester, verstehen Sie keinen „Spaß“?

Sexuelle übergriffe von Patienten – Eine scheinbar beil?ufige Berührung w?hrend der K?rperpflege, ein anzüglicher Spruch, ungeniertes Anstarren – die meisten Pflegekr?fte kennen das und stecken es nur zu oft weg. Sexuelle Bel?stigung ist ein Thema, auf das Auszubildende noch immer unzureichend vorbereitet werden. Und sp?ter im pflegerischen Alltag wird es immer schwieriger, ein Tabu zu brechen.     

The dynamics of phase farming in dryland salinity abatement

In Australia, soil salinisation has become a major concern. One way to deal with the problem is for farmers to plant trees or regenerate native bush. However, doing so raises several questions which involve optimal switching times, when switching involves a cost in the form of up-front investments. Optimality conditions are derived for the three-stage problem, and applied to dryland salinity control in Western Australia. Optimal management practices are found to be very sensitive to farmers' discount rates and to the speed at which the watertable rises or falls.

Up or Out: Research Incentives and Career Prospects of Postdocs in Germany

Academic careers in Germany have been under debate for a while. We conduct a survey among postdocs in Germany to analyze the perceptions and attitudes of postdocs regarding their research incentives, their working conditions, and their career prospects. We conceptualize the career prospects of a postdoc in a life‐cycle perspective of transitions from academic training to academic or non‐academic jobs. Only about half of the postdocs sees strong incentives for academic research, but there is quite a strong confidence to succeed in an academic career. Furthermore, postdocs who attended a PhD program show better career prospects and higher research incentives compared to others. Academic career prospects and motivation are strongest for assistant professors. Apart from this small group, however, postdocs report only a small impact of the university reforms of the last decade. Female postdocs show significantly higher research incentives but otherwise we find little gender differences. Finally, good prospects in non‐academic jobs are not associated with a reduction in the motivation for research.     

Having It All? Employment,Earnings, and Children*

We study the effect of family policies on female employment, fertility, and the gender wage gap. We develop a life‐cycle model of heterogeneous households featuring endogenous labor supply, human capital accumulation, fertility, and home production. Our results suggest that human capital accumulation is important in accounting for the widening of the gender wage gap following children. We find that, in aggregate, childcare subsidies promote maternal employment and fertility, although the effects are heterogeneous across couples. A subsidy on home goods increases female employment, but primarily later in life. Thus, it does not dampen the widening of the gender gap.

Consultations and the ECB as prudential regulator: enhancing legitimacy?

ABSTRACT

This paper examines whether the ECB’s consultations, imposed by the SSM Regulation, enhance legitimacy in terms of openness, transparency, inclusiveness, efficacy and judicial accountability. The paper argues that the ECB has, in general, established a solid consultation practice. However, although there is a need for efficacy, the lack of a profound feedback statement, the low participation rate of groups other than the sector actors, and weak judicial review can be considered to constitute its Achilles’ heel. Thus, while in theory the consultation obligation leads to more throughput legitimacy, reality has turned out to be far more complex.
