▼ The dissertation explores the social and cultural history of a sixteenth-century Roman institution, the Conservatorio di Santa Caterina. Linked to a local confraternity, the Compagnia delle Vergini Miserabili, the Conservatorio catered to young women from lower social classes, especially daughters of prostitutes in danger of being forced into their mothers' trade. The first institution of this kind on the Italian peninsula, the Conservatorio became a model for analogous shelters founded in other cities over the course of the sixteenth century. The dissertation explores the founding of the institution and the first century of its long history, with a focus on significant moments in its development and its adaptation to the changing urban needs of early modern Rome. The research is primarily based on sixteenth and seventeenth-century manuscript and printed documents archived by the confraternity, including their meeting minutes, donation receipts, financial records and wards’ registers. By comparing archival sources with sixteenth-century printed booklets on charity and with archeological sources, the dissertation illuminates the daily activities, ritual ceremonies and educative practices of the Conservatorio. The project examines the significance of charity as a trademark of religious orthodoxy and its social function as a networking activity in early modern Rome. In addition, the dissertation investigates the Conservatorio’s practices in light of early modern history of women. As a welfare institution that aimed at opposing the sex trade and protecting female virtue, the Conservatorio’s educative project reproduced the functions of kinship support networks and relied on education to achieve its purposes. By interpreting female education broadly as a type of training that provided young women with the practical competencies they needed in their adult life, the dissertation aims at sketching a more realistic picture of what it meant to be “educated” for lower class women in the early modern period.

▼ This thesis critically explores the lived experience of negotiating and resisting work-related conditionality and sanctions in Ireland’s burgeoning labour activation regime. Post-crisis Ireland has witnessed the emergence of a definitive policy trajectory emphasizing lifelong attachment to the labour force through activation measures underpinned by conditionality and sanctions. It is a shift marked both by the intensification of conditionality through increased surveillance, stringent enforcement of behavioural requirements and the privatisation of employment services, and its extension via its application to lone parents and others. This thesis utilises Foucault’s (2007) ‘governmentality’ to explicate how individuals are governed according to a ‘job-seeking’ rationality which gains a concrete manifestation through techniques such as caseworker meetings, the provision of job-search evidence, and sanctions. It draws on 42 qualitative semi-structured interviews across a gender-balanced cohort of individuals on Jobseeker payments in Ireland, including active jobseekers, discouraged jobseekers, and lone parents. This is complemented with a ‘bottom-up’ conceptualisation of agency whereby street-level bureaucracy (Brodkin 2013); everyday resistance (Scott 1985; de Certeau 1984); lines of Flight (Deleuze 1995) and refusal of work (Tronti 1966a) are situated within Lister’s (2004) typology of agency. In this way the research illustrates a multiplicity of, at times gendered, street-level tactics and strategies enmeshed in a complex pattern of compliance, subversion, evasion and resistance whereby claimants navigate the rationality and practice of welfare conditionality based on their own needs, interests and desires. Despite the production of a new array of techniques of conditionality their application remains light, appearing as bureaucratic concerns with formalities rather than genuine engagement. At times this arises as an ‘unbearable lightness of conditionality’ in which the absurdity of the welfare system confronts participants with indifference rather than penalty.

▼ Animal welfare is important to the general public and dairy consumers and the dairy industry is coming under increasing scrutiny. There is the potential for community concern arising from perceived intensification of the industry with an increasing number of large herds, and producers adopting a mix of grazing and confined feeding strategies. This thesis examines the particular welfare challenges associated with increased herd size in Australian pasture-based dairy herds including how they might be measured and managed. A survey of Australian dairy farmers was conducted to assess relationships between herd size and known or proposed risk factors for adverse animal welfare outcomes in Australian dairy herds in relation to increasing scale of production. Increasing herd size was associated with increases in stocking density, stock per labour unit and grain fed per day – all of which could reasonably be hypothesized to increase the risk of adverse welfare outcomes unless carefully managed. However, increasing herd size was also associated with an increased likelihood of staff with formal and industry-based training qualifications. Herd size was not associated with reported increases in mastitis or lameness. Large herds were more likely to use monitoring systems such as electronic identification in the dairy, computerised records, daily milk yield or cell count monitoring and pedometers or activity meters. Increasing herd size was related to increased herd milking time, increased time away from the paddock and increased distance walked. Animal welfare assessments were conducted on 50 Australian pasture-based dairy farms of varying herd sizes. Findings were generally consistent with the previous survey. Major challenges included heat stress, mastitis, lameness, and longer milking duration. All cows had access to water for more than 12 h in a 24 h period. More larger farms had water points on the farm tracks or at the dairy. Skin and joint lesion prevalence was not related to herd size and they were uncommon. All farms had some form of cooling strategy. Shade in all paddocks was more common on smaller farms than others while sprinklers were more common on large/very large farms. There was wide variation in the avoidance distance of humans but this was not related to farm size. Lameness scoring was conducted on 19154 cows from 50 farms as they left the dairy after being milked. We compared our Results with farmer estimates of lameness prevalence. Farmers detected only 24% of the cows observed/scored as lame. Whilst lameness scoring of the entire herd was necessary to detect all the lame cows, scoring just the last 200 cows milked could be used to estimate the prevalence of lame cows on a given day. In large Australian dairy herds, it is common for cows to be collected from the paddock as a group, to wait as a group in the dairy yard to be milked and to return individually to the paddock or feed pad immediately after milking. We demonstrated that even in these large herds there is consistency…

Child protection workers, who are often graduates of schools of social work, are the frontline professionals who are charged with making determinations about the safety of children, and developing interventions to address these safety concerns. Determining the safety of children is an extremely difficult process due to the complexity of the issues that may exist in any one situation, including the impact of social problems, the complexity of human behaviour, and the need to predict future actions and consequences. On top of these challenges, child protection workers are subject to strict reporting and practice requirements imposed by the government and are required to provide a service mandated by legislation and funded by taxpayers. Given such responsibilities and constraints how does a person get prepared to work in the field of child welfare? The purpose of this research was to explore what child welfare managers think prepares new BSW graduates to enter into the field of child welfare. In particular, how well are BSW graduates currently prepared? Is there a need to improve preparedness, and if so, what could be done to achieve this? Literature provided key but contradictory perspectives in the debate around the preparedness of new workers. However, it is recognized that a partnership between education and child welfare could have beneficial effect on preparedness. Using the approaches of Interpretive Social Science and Critical Social Science, this qualitative research study was designed using semi-structured interviews to generate the data. Data was interpreted and analyzed through the techniques of coding and memo-writing from Grounded Theory. A colleague conducted a separate study of new workers which provided an opportunity to compare and contrast managers perspectives with those of new workers leading to a clearer understanding of preparedness. Overall, new workers are deemed to be prepared in terms of having the knowledge base that is needed to start working in child welfare. However, child welfare managers believe more learning opportunities need to be built into school programs that focus on applying theory to practice, child welfare specific knowledge, and understanding the complexity of mandated work. Field placements in child welfare settings, are considered to be valuable in preparing students prior to employment. Child welfare managers believe that an alliance between education and the field could optimize the readiness of new workers so as to ensure quality service for families in our community.

▼ This self-study research focused on the role of the teacher in relation to providing welfare care. I considered welfare care from a theoretical perspective of Ubuntu, which allowed me to see that, in enacting welfare care, it is imperative that teachers acknowledge and bring out the human element in themselves and others. I was the central participant in this self-study, together with three professional colleagues at my school. My critical friends, my fellow students, participated by sparking new ideas and helping me to gain other perspective. I used the memory-work self-study method to recall my lived experiences and explore my motivation for providing welfare care. Multiple data sources, such as letters, cards, photographs and my reflective journal, provided evidence to assist me in understanding my passion for welfare care. Three main themes arose from my memory stories: a) attentiveness; b) empathy; c) encouragement; and d) nurturing. I went on to explore how my fellow teachers and I were enacting welfare care at my school. Conversations with my teacher participants demonstrated that teachers were enacting welfare care at my school by: a) connecting nutrition with learning; b) making provision for school uniforms and stationery for learners; c) bringing on board sponsors, NGOs, religious organisations and businesses as a support base; d) providing sports, games and excursions; and e) attending to the medical, emotional and social development needs of learners. Using collage as an arts-based self-study technique, I found that teachers can be better supported in enacting welfare care for learners through: a) community support and engagement; b) continuing professional teacher development for psychosocial and emotional support; and c) teacher leadership for welfare care. Overall, this study has highlighted how teachers are spending a great deal of time and energy in making provision for meeting learners’ basic needs such as nutrition, school uniforms and stationery, and medical care. This study has enabled me to acknowledge that learners and teachers are likely to perform better if these basic needs could be met for all learners through more extensive programmes involving all relevant stakeholders. Through this self-study, I have also realised that teachers, school management and other stakeholders need adequate knowledge and skills for enacting welfare care. Most significantly, this study has confirmed for me that enacting welfare care requires teachers to be compassionate and understanding and to show empathy towards learners.

▼ Exposure to disease and pain will prolong animal ‘suffering’, and as such, diminishes welfare. Identifying behaviours indicative of these conditions can facilitate early detection, timely treatment and improved welfare. Contributing to the problem of disease and pain detection in calves is the innate tendency of these animals to mask behavioural signs of vulnerability (stoicism), and the extensive use of group-housing systems. Existing technology was used in my research to obtain objective measures of behaviour in response to disease and pain. The goal of this thesis was to explore these key aspects of calf welfare: The work reported in Chapter 2 investigated a naturally occurring disease (neonatal calf diarrhoea complex) in pre-weaned calves to assess whether changes in milk-feeding and lying behaviours could be used for early disease detection. Calves were observed for a three week period, starting when they were four days old. Data on milk feeding and lying behaviours were obtained using automated milk-feeders and HOBO data loggers respectively. Lying postures were analysed from daily video footage at five minute intervals between 10:00-14:00 (seven days per week). For statistical analysis, calves were classified as ‘sick’ (n=21), or ‘not sick’ (n=91). This thesis identified three feeding measures of interest for disease detection: 1) reduced milk consumption, 2) increased duration of visits to the milk feeder, and 3) sick calves were less likely to receive a rewarded visit compared to calves that were not sick. Sick calves increased the duration of lying bouts nearing time of illness; however, no difference was observed between sick calves and those that were not sick. Postural observations were not effective at predicting illness. The use of automated milk-feeders to detect disease in calves has been studied extensively overseas; to my knowledge, this is the first New Zealand study to use automated feeders for this purpose. The results of this study indicate that aspects of milk feeding behaviour can be used to detect diseased calves in group housing systems. The work reported in Chapter 3 used hot iron disbudding as a pain model to determine whether changes in milk-feeding and lying behaviours could be used to identify pain in calves less than 4 weeks of age. Data was obtained using automated feeders and HOBO data loggers respectively over three observation periods (pre-treatment, treatment day and post-treatment). Fifty-three calves (26.5 ± 3.5 days of age) were allocated to one of five treatment groups: hot iron disbudded with no analgesia (n=11), disbudded with a local anaesthetic (LA, n=11), disbudded with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID; n=11), disbudded with NSAID and LA (n=10), and SHAM calves (n=11). Analysis of feeding behaviour revealed only one difference between all treatment groups; SHAM calves showed a greater number of visits to the milk feeder during the recovery period compared to disbudded animals. Feeding and lying behaviours in this study were considered to be… Advisors/Committee Members: Waas, Joseph R (advisor), Sutherland, Mhairi (advisor), Stewart, Mairi (advisor).

▼ Dental decay is a worldwide Public Health problem. In the last decade Oral Health professionals in the UK have focused on developing national and regional Oral Health programmes to reduce dental caries rates in young children. Smile4Life is an example of a regional programme, which has been implemented in North West England. Recent research suggests health programmes should have a conscious theoretical base and incorporate multi-sectorial approaches. A literature review was undertaken to identify the differences between the theoretical underpinnings used in Oral Health interventions compared to General Health interventions. This showed that Oral Health interventions have been predominately underpinned by educational approaches and used fewer approaches that consider organisational and environmental factors. However, the literature review did not identify barriers and facilitators to the use of theoretical underpinnings in real-life settings. To understand the barriers and facilitators to developing and implementing interventions in real-life settings, and how barriers and facilitators relate to the theoretical underpinnings identified in the literature review, semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine policymakers who were responsible for developing and ten implementers who were responsible for delivering Smile4Life. The analysis was undertaken using an inductive thematic analysis. The interview findings consist of an overall meta-theme and three themes. The meta-theme refers to ‘intra-group relationships and inter-group boundaries’. Intra-group relationships refer to the relations within the policymaker group or implementer group. The inter-group boundaries refer to divisions between the two groups that meant people within each group perceived themselves to be distinct from people in the other group. The first theme intra-group inclusion and inter-group exclusion outlines that within each group, individuals interacted with one another and had a shared sense of unity and group beliefs. However, there were boundaries between the two groups due to a lack of interactions and feelings of exclusion between the groups. The second theme, different knowledge, experiences, and beliefs identified that each group shared similar knowledge and experiences, but between the groups this knowledge was not shared. The third theme standardised or flexible implementation identified that due to the differences in knowledge, experiences, and beliefs between the groups, these differences prevented the formation of a shared vision of how to implement Smile4Life. The groups divisions led to the implementers making changes to the intended implementation strategy of Smile4Life. This research suggests that the implementers (middle managers) are important in the development and implementation of Oral Health programmes and potentially other interventions. Currently, theoretical underpinnings do not explicitly consider middle managers in the development and implementation of interventions. A set of Implementer Engagement Guidelines,…

▼ This thesis was conducted to investigate canine and feline welfare in relation to veterinary care through the development and evaluation of a welfare assessment tool for veterinary clinics. Through a multi-stage survey, 78 animal welfare researchers, veterinarians with an expertise in animal welfare, and practicing veterinarians identified 85 veterinary care-related factors thought to impact companion animal welfare in the clinic and home environments. Factors with the highest perceived relative impact on welfare included veterinary-client communication of welfare-related information, analgesic regimes, and the ability to recognize and interpret patient behaviour. These results served as the basis for an animal welfare assessment tool, incorporating management- and resource-based measures of animal welfare that were assessed via questionnaires, interviews with veterinarians, and veterinary appointment observation through video recording. This tool was evaluated for reliability, validity and feasibility in 30 companion and mixed animal veterinary clinics in southern Ontario. Inter-observer reliability (two trained, inexperienced observers vs. one experienced observer) was highest for interviews (Kw = 0.40, 0.44 for aspects of communication; Kw = 0.83, 0.73 for pain management, Kw = 0.82, 0.81 for behavioural health). Intra-observer reliability (one experienced observer only) was high across all three assessment methods (Kw ≥ 0.80 for communication, pain management and behavioural health). Due to their ease of use, questionnaires and interviews had high feasibility for use in a welfare assessment tool; however, discrepancies between responses given through questionnaires and interviews and data from appointment observation suggest that they have lower validity as a method for accurately assessing welfare-related veterinary practices. Results also provide insight into current veterinary practices related to animal welfare. Other than veterinary preventive care, veterinary staff engaged in low levels of proactive discussion of a number of important welfare-related topics, highlighting a missed opportunity for client education. Veterinary clinics consistently provided pre-emptive and post-surgical analgesia for ovariohysterectomies; however, many underused objective pain identification tools and provided owners with a shorter-than-recommended duration of analgesia post-ovariohysterectomy. Veterinary staff often approached and examined patients in a non-threatening manner, but generally underused low-stress handling techniques. There is, therefore, opportunity for enhancement in welfare-related practices across many areas. Advisors/Committee Members: Niel, Lee (advisor).

▼ The management regime of Melbourne Zoo’s elephants recently transitioned from free-contact to protected-contact, predominantly driven by the desire to improve keeper safety. This study investigated the potential effects that this change may have had on elephant welfare. Elephants were monitored using a range of welfare indicators between December 2013 and March 2015. Most data were collected over three Study Periods of approximately 2 months each, allowing for potential changes in elephant behaviour and welfare to be assessed from the time that protected-contact management was implemented. The study revealed some changes in training method, directed towards achieving protected-contact management, with the reduction in ankus use and an overall increase in positive reinforcement. A decline in elephant obedience during training was evident over the course of the study, with an increase in average number of commands required to elicit a particular response and the proportion of commands repeated. However, this did not result in changes that adversely affected management, as the reduction in obedience was typically resolved with a single repeat of command, and no change was observed in compliance to medical treatment, foot condition (due to the dependence of foot condition on foot care), or number of timeouts required during training sessions. Moreover, there was no evidence that protected-contact has resulted in a decline in health. Although elephant body condition increased over time, it remained well within a healthy range – though ongoing monitoring is recommended to allow timely adjustments in management if this trend continues, to ensure that they do not become overweight. Due to the decrease in keeper-lead activity that occurred under protected-contact, there was a potential risk to elephant health through decreased movement. However, changes were not observed in movement by members of the female herd or in foraging rates by members of either the male or female herd, which is important to health, as decreased foraging activity may result in increased abnormal behaviours owing to boredom (e.g. stereotypy) or weight gain. Similarly, no change was observed in foot condition, which also relates to movement. A decrease in movement was found in the male herd, but this was most likely linked to a reduction in stereotypical behaviour (pacing in circles) and thus not necessarily a negative effect to welfare. Rates of habitat manipulation and exploration increased over time for both the female and male herds, which indicates an increase in species-specific natural behaviours and incidentally an increase in movement and exercise. Skin condition may also have improved based on reduced rates of comfort scratching in both males and females, potentially owing to a change in bathing method (from physically scrubbing to pressure washing) and/or an improved mud pool. Lastly, this study found no evidence that protected-contact resulted in increased stress among the elephants. Stereotypical behaviour decreased over time in both the…

▼ Farrowing crates, which are widely used in commercial pig farming, present major animal welfare problems. Sows are severely confined, being only able to stand up and lie down and not turn around for a period of five weeks around farrowing. This study compared the welfare of sows and piglets housed in two types of farrowing accommodation, free lactation pens (Free, n = 22) and conventional farrowing crate pens (Control, n = 24). Free lactation pens allowed for temporary confinement of sows at the most critical period for piglet pre-weaning mortality, from the onset of farrowing until day 4 post-farrowing. For the remainder of the time the sows were in the pens, the crate was opened wide enough for them to turn around. Sows were monitored from entry to the farrowing room (approximately day 108 of gestation) until weaning (approximately day 26 of lactation). The study examined 675 piglets, the offspring of these sows, from birth until slaughter. A range of behaviour and physical health measures were utilised to assess animal welfare and performance. Sows in the Free treatment had greater freedom of movement, as demonstrated by their use of the available space to turn around in the crates while they were open. At weaning, Free sows had significantly lower (better) locomotory scores than those which were housed in Control pens, this may be related to their improved ability to move during the 5-week treatment period. These sows also had significantly lower (better) tear stain scores around their left eyes at weaning, indicating reduced stress. Although Free sows had higher salivary cortisol concentrations overall when compared with Control sows, this is a measure that may reflect increased activity rather than higher levels of stress. Overall, piglets from the Free treatment performed better than those from Control pens; pre-weaning Free piglets had a tendency to be heavier than those from the Control treatment, and this difference became significant post-weaning, leading to Free pigs having a mean finishing weight of 114.73kg, compared to 110.82kg for Control pigs. This increase in weight gain did not affect ADFI (average daily feed intake) and resulted in Free pigs having a significantly better FCE (feed conversion efficiency) in the weaner stage. There was a reduction in days to slaughter with free pigs reaching the 105kg target weigh in 147.56 days compared with 149.23 days for Control pigs. This is a very promising result regarding both productivity and welfare, and could result in increased profitability for producers. Prior to weaning Free piglets tended to perform less damaging behaviour than Control piglets, although this result was not significant. Most importantly, overall mortality was unaffected by treatment with total mortality of 15.95% for Free pigs and 14.42% for Control pigs (P = 0.61). Overall, the results from this study suggest that implementing a management strategy where sows have increased freedom of movement during lactation compared to traditional farrowing crates may help to improve sow and… Advisors/Committee Members: Butler, Fidelma.

▼ The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act (PRWORA), passed in 1996, was notably referred to by the US Chamber of Commerce as a “reassertion of America’s work ethic.” The stated goal of PRWORA was that clients should leave welfare self-sufficient and the focus on self-sufficiency allowed welfare bureaucrats to shift the blame from the program’s failings to clients. What self-sufficiency is and how to best achieve it however, was not clearly indicated by the language of PRWORA. PRWORA also allowed for states to have greater discretion over how funding is allocated and at the county level, street level bureaucrats such as welfare-to-work program managers are responsible for implementation of the program’s provisions. Because of the influence that program managers have over the implementation of cash assistance in their counties, it is useful to examine what approaches managers use in their daily interactions with case workers and clients. In my dissertation research, I use a series of worker typologies developed by Watkins-Hayes (2009) and Taylor and Seale (2013) as a lens through which to examine Ohio Works First (OWF) program managers. Through these typologies – the Social Work manager, Efficiency Engineer manager and Conflicted manager – I explore how managers interpret and implement cash assistance after welfare reform, their discourse surrounding clients culture of poverty and generational welfare use and how managers talk about shame, pride and the stigma of welfare among their clients. I build on previous literature about welfare bureaucrats by focusing on program managers who have a unique position within the cash assistance delivery system in that they are expected to prioritize the goals of welfare reform. This analysis allows us to better understand how managers professional identities shape their approach to implementation of welfare reform and how managers come to understand what their role is within the system.

Ekonomistų siūlomi įvairūs ekonominės gerovės vertinimo variantai. Tačiau nei vienas jų neparodo visaverčio ekonominės gerovės vaizdo. Todėl darbo tikslas – išanalizuoti ekonominės gerovės matavimo per makroekonominius rodiklius galimybes. Problemai ištirti darbe išskiriamos trys dalys. Pirmoje dalyje numatoma išanalizuoti ekonomikos teoriją (istorinės ekonomikos mokyklų idėjos, gerovės ekonomikos vieno pradininkų A.C.Pigou idėjos, matematinės krypties atstovų idėjos). Antroje dalyje per statistinių duomenų analizę (Europos Sąjungos pavyzdžiu) bandoma suvokti ir apibrėžti galimų rodiklių pritaikomumą ekonominės gerovės matavime. Taip padaromas pagrindas trečiajai daliai. Šioje darbo dalyje bandoma išvesti vieningą ekonominės gerovės matavimo indeksą, apibendrinantį visus jau nagrinėtus tinkamus makroekonominius rodiklius. Padaryta teorinė analizė ir empirinis tyrimas leido darbo autoriui sukurti ir aprašyti sistemą (ekonominės gerovės indeksą), kuris apima pagrindinius makroekonominius rodiklius bei leidžia įvertinti abi ekonominės gerovės sudedamąsias dalis: turtingumą bei pasiskirstymą. Sistemos išbandymas realiais statistiniais duomenimis leido iš esmės ją subalansuoti.

Although economists offer different variants for welfare measuring, none of this variants can disclose the fool situation of economic wellbeing. That is why the main goal of this thesis is to analyze possibilities of economic welfare measuring by macroeconomics indicators. The thesis includes three parts. The first one is for theoretical analyses (ideas of historical economic schools, thoughts by A.C.Pigou – one of the welfare economics beginners, mathematic direction of economics). In the second part usefulness of possible indicators for measuring of economical welfare is being tried to discover through analysis of statistics data (using European Union statistics). That is how basis for the third part was made. In the last part unified index of economic welfare, which summarizes all mentioned macroeconomics indicators, is tried to be obtained. Theoretical analysis and empirical research allowed to make and describe the system (index of economic welfare) for the author by himself. This system includes main macroeconomical indicators and allows to unite both parts of economic welfare wealth and distribution. After some test with statistical data index of economic welfare was mainly balanced.

▼ Does authoritarian regime provide social protection to its people? What is the purpose of social welfare provision in an authoritarian regime? How is social welfare policy designed and enforced in the authoritarian and multilevel governance setting? Who gets what, when and how from the social welfare provision in an authoritarian regime? My dissertation investigates these questions through a detailed study of Chinese social health insurance from 1998 to 2010. I argue and empirically show that the Chinese social health insurance system is characterized by a nationwide stratification pattern as well as systematic regional differences in generosity and coverage of welfare benefits. I argue that the distribution of Chinese social welfare benefits is a strategic choice of the central leadership who intends to maintain particularly privileged provisions for the elites whom are considered important for social stability while pursuing broad and modest social welfare provisions for the masses. Provisions of the welfare benefits are put in practice, however, through an interaction between the central leaders who care most about regime stability and the local leaders who confront distinct constraints in local circumstances such as fiscal stringency and social risk. The dynamics of central-local interactions stands at the core of the politics of social welfare provision, and helps explain the remarkable subnational variation in social welfare under China's authoritarian yet decentralized system. This dissertation attempts to contribute to the studies of authoritarianism, decentralization and social welfare in the following aspects. First, in specifying the rationale, conditions and policy results of the interaction between Chinese central and local leaders in social welfare provision, the dissertation sheds light on how political leaders in an authoritarian regime with multilevel governance structure respond to social needs. The analysis of subnational politicians' incentive structure and policy choices in social welfare provision, which are missing in most extant studies of authoritarianism and social welfare, demonstrates an "indirect accountability" built into the Chinese social welfare provision. This "indirect accountability", evidenced by local leaders' proactive accommodation of social and local needs through social policies, may partially account for the puzzling resilience and flexibility of Chinese authoritarian regime. Second, the dissertation demonstrates that social welfare expansion, in some cases, is not a result of democracy but of resilient authoritarianism. Social welfare is one tool employed by authoritarian leaders to maintain regime stability. The political motivation for social welfare provision is different in non-democracies – it is more directly from top-down pressure of maintaining order rather than from bottom-up demands as in democracies – but this does not mean that non-democracies provide less social welfare than democracies do. Furthermore, the dissertation highlights the multidimensionality…

▼ The purpose of this study was to determine how women program planners design programs for predominately women learners in Welfare to Work programs. The following questions guided this research: 1) How does a woman program planner’s gender-based understanding impact power relations within the organizational process of program planning? and 2) How do women program planners negotiate for the interests of the stakeholders with emphasis on the power and politics of the process? The sample for this study was comprised of eleven women program planners and five Department of Family and Children’s Services representatives who work with welfare recipients. This study revealed women educational program planners shape the form and content of the programs they plan. One factor that affects the planning process is the gender of the program planner. Individuals bring their own ideas of needed educational program content to the process based on prior experiences and these factors affect how women program planners negotiate for the inclusion of women’s learning into the educational or training context of the programs they plan. Based on an analysis of the findings, two conclusions were drawn from this study. They are: 1) Women define themselves based on past experience which gives them a basis for contextualizing the work and striving to change lives through shared understanding; and 2) Women program planners use relational negotiations to get things done. The planners possess personal gender based domains that intersect with socially constructed beliefs. These domains include the way the planners experience empathy for the participants, feel it is necessary to foster self-esteem in the participants, have an internal need to give back to society, and exhibit a passion for the job that is instrumental in accomplishing established goals. The women also possess unique social and organizational domains that bring a distinctive decision-making style to the planning process based on who and what they are as individuals. Race, economic situations, gender, and life circumstances all affect the planning process. Because the planners interviewed were women, feelings for the clients that are unique to women understanding women affected the way the planners got things done.

▼ Since, on average, mothers and children living in stable two-parent families have a lower risk of poverty, the extent to which welfare systems may affect relationship stability, family formation and repartnering is a compelling social policy issue. However, driven by concerns about work incentives and reducing ‘welfare dependency,’ policy interest and research has to date focused on understanding lone parents’ labour supply and encouraging the transition from benefits into employment. Social scientists have theorised a great deal about changing family forms and a rich literature continues to explore the role welfare plays in reinforcing gender equality. However, the more contentious issue of whether and how welfare systems may affect family structure is a neglected area of academic enquiry. Whether lone motherhood is a ‘lifestyle choice’ or ‘Hobson’s choice’ has polarised normative debates about welfare dependency, but limited evidence of how low-income women make family formation decisions has created space for a popular consensus to emerge in which the behavioural effects of welfare on family structure are seen to arise purely in response to financial incentives. Politicians and policy makers who lament the decline of the traditional family have called for changes in the tax and benefit system to promote marriage and abolish the ‘couple penalty,’ so called to describe the financial differentials in welfare entitlement between lone-parent and couple-parent families. Some believe this differential treatment incentivises lone motherhood and discourages two-parent family formation, others that it fosters welfare dependency and benefit fraud among lone mothers who, for reasons of monetary gain, may ‘pretend to separate’ or fail to disclose the presence of a partner. In fact, very little is known or understood about how low-income women make family formation, partnership dissolution and repartnering decisions and, in the UK, the influence of welfare systems on partnering behaviour and family structure is both under-theorised and under-researched. Informed by retrospective, narrative interviews with 51 mothers living in Merseyside who were currently or had formerly claimed UK means-tested benefits or tax credits as a lone parent in the period between 1997 and 2013, and supplemented by interviews and focus groups with family support, housing and welfare rights workers, this thesis contributes towards filling the gaps in knowledge and evidence. Exploratory in nature, the research investigated whether and to what extent eligibility for or entitlement to means-tested welfare may have influenced a mother’s decision to live with or apart from a partner or child’s father, broadening the debate beyond the political rhetoric of ‘couple penalties’ and ‘welfare dependency’ to include consideration of two neglected aspects of UK welfare, the ‘cohabitation’ or ‘Living Together as a Married Couple’ (LTAMC) rule and the closely aligned system of family means testing. Based on an administrative definition of cohabitation as…

▼ Being pets, animal models, meat and fur producers, rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) are used by humans in a variety of contexts. Interestingly, the euthanasia methods employed for rabbits appear to vary between different contexts. Hence, it appears that a rabbit is not a rabbit, being it a pest or a pet. The latter fact deserves to be questioned: is the variation of euthanasia methods used between different contexts justified in terms of welfare? This issue requires, on one hand, a reflection on the biological aspects of welfare, and on the other hand, an ethical reflection on the moral validity of such a difference. The present review aims to constitute a first step in the debate by tackling biological aspects of welfare implicated in each euthanasia method put in its context, and by determining whether such variation in methods is justified in terms of welfare. As welfare and ethics are intermingled concepts, ethical implications of different methods and the moral validity of the variation in methods between contexts is also developed. After an introduction to the issue, a presentation of the contexts of rabbit use and a brief overview of the species biology, the present paper examines thoroughly each method, explores its welfare implications and specifies the context in which it is used. An ethical reflection is then developed which details the relation between animal welfare, ethics and euthanasia; and explains the key ethical views on animal use. Finally, the present paper discusses the issue per context and across contexts, and concludes whether the use of different methods in different contexts is justified from a biological perspective of welfare, on one hand, and an ethical perspective on the other hand. The present review comes to the conclusion that from a biological perspective of animal welfare, the variation of euthanasia methods across contexts is not justified and that from an ethical perspective, there is a need for further reflection.
