Behind the throne : a domestic history of the British royal household
\"Monarchs : they're just like us. They entertain their friends and eat and worry about money. Henry VIII tripped over his dogs. George II threw his son out of the house. James I had to cut back on the alcohol bills. In Behind the Throne, historian Adrian Tinniswood uncovers the reality of five centuries of life at the English court, taking the reader on a remarkable journey from one Queen Elizabeth to another and exploring life as it was lived by clerks and courtiers and clowns and crowned heads: the power struggles and petty rivalries, the tension between duty and desire, the practicalities of cooking dinner for thousands and of ensuring the king always won when he played a game of tennis. A masterful and witty social history of five centuries of royal life, Behind the Throne offers a grand tour of England's grandest households\"-- Provided by publisher.

Effectiveness of the Bansos Rastra distribution program in Kajang District, Bulukumba Regency
Prosperous Rice Social Assistance (BansosRastra) is a program organized by the Indonesian government that aims to increase and open up access for poor families to food, especially rice. The effectiveness of BansosRastra distribution can be assessed through the achievement of the 6R targets (six right), namely the right target recipient, the right amount, the right price, the right time, the right administration and the right quality. The large number of poor households in Kajang District, Bulukumba Regency requires an evaluation of the effectiveness of the BansosRastra program so that the program runs optimally and avoids conflicts related to aid distribution. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the distribution of the BansosRastra program in Kajang District, Bulukumba Regency, South Sulawesi. This research uses quantitative methods. The results of the study concluded that the implementation of the BansosRastra Program in Kajang District, Bulukumba Regency was classified as ineffective. The level of effectiveness of the implementation of the BansosRastraProgram is low, at only 42.37%.

Les ménages au cœur de la financiarisation. Sur Risking Together, de D. Bryan et M. Rafferty
In Risking Together, Bryan and Rafferty think in the manner of behavioural finance, but they think against it and invent Marxist behavioural finance. They show how households' subjectivity is reshaped by finance in their daily life, and how they unwittingly have become a key player in the production process of derivatives. Households are now integrated into finance on the supply side, through the securitization of their debt but also of their payments, and on the demand side through their savings. Households have collectively become net risk absorbers. What about the systemic issues of the financial loop in which households are now inserted? Considering the omnipotence of finance that transfers risks to households, the social institutionalization of default risk is now required.
Paper
Households as corporate firms : an analysis of household finance using integrated household surveys and corporate financial accounting
\"This investigation proposes a conceptual framework for measurement necessary for an analysis of household finance and economic development. The authors build on and, where appropriate, modify corporate financial accounts to create balance sheets, income statements, and statements of cash flows for households in developing countries, using an integrated household survey. The authors also illustrate how to apply the accounts to an analysis of household finance that includes productivity of household enterprises, capital structure, liquidity, financing, and portfolio management. The conceptualization of this analysis has important implications for measurement, questionnaire design, the modeling of household decisions, and the analysis of panel data\"--Provided by publisher.

Victims of Compromise
This essay gives a brief overview of the authorship debate of Colossians and Ephesians, and argues that the letters, authored mainly by his co-workers, were written as an attempt to compromise between Paul’s controversial views and the congregations of Asia Minor. The household code of Colossians is analysed as a possible accompaniment to the letter to Philemon and the sending back of Onesimus, using the Pauline passage on submission in Ro- mans 13 as a basis, complemented by known Graeco-Roman traditions on the household. Slaves, and not women were the primary addressees of this probably earliest Christian household code, but undoubtedly then the status of women became an issue of contention. The essay argues that Ephesians was written as a modification to the Colossians letter, which had left out key controversial Pauline terms. The letter to the Ephesians pleads for unity, re- introduces Pauline terms in formulations acceptable to the mainstream con- gregations, and carefully formulates a position on women in the household, which was to become dominant in the early church. It is argued that the household codes were regarded as a necessary compromise at the time but were not initially intended to suppress the participation and leadership of women. However, the controversy heated up and became more bitter, leading to the later Pastoral Letters and other early Christian writings, completely suppressing women’s leadership in the church.

The Competitive Saving Motive: Evidence from Rising Sex Ratios and Savings Rates in China
The high and rising household savings rate in China is not easily reconciled with the traditional explanations that emphasize life cycle factors, the precautionary saving motive, financial development, or habit formation. This paper proposes a new competitive saving motive: as the sex ratio rises, Chinese parents with a son raise their savings in a competitive manner in order to improve their son’s relative attractiveness for marriage. The pressure on savings spills over to other households. Both cross-regional and household-level evidence supports this hypothesis. This factor can potentially account for about half the actual increase in the household savings rate during 1990–2007.

Evsel Atık Ayırma Davranışlarının Araştırılması: Genişletilmiş Atık Ayırma Modeli
Evlerde, halka açık yerlerde ve iş yerlerinde kullanılmayan veya çöp durumunda olan maddelere evsel atık denir. Evsel atıklara kâğıt, poşet, kutu, yiyecek, pil, metaller, plastikler, giysiler, mobilyalar, şişe, su, sıvı yağ, sıvı deterjanlar, karton, ambalaj, ilaç şişesi ve kutusu, eski elektronik araçlar, maske, eldiven örnek olarak verilebilir. Evsel atıkların ayrıştırılması doğal kaynakların korunması, temiz bir çevrede yaşama imkânı oluşturması ve enerji tasarrufu nedeniyle ekonomiye katkı sağlaması açısından son derece önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, Ajzen’in Planlı Davranış Teorisi (PDT) modeli temel alınarak modele evsel atık ayırma bilgisi, çevresel kaygı, suçluluk hissi, evsel atık ayırmaya yönelik teşvik ve evsel atık ayırma bilgisini ölçmek için oluşturulan bilgi olmak üzere 4 faktör ilave edilerek, bireylerin atık ayırmaya yönelik davranışlarını araştırmak amacıyla Genişletilmiş Atık Ayırma Modeli (GAAM) önerilmiştir. Önerilen model yapısal eşitlik modellemesi kullanılarak test edilmiş ve modelin uygunluğu çeşitli uyum ölçütlerine göre değerlendirilmiştir. Substances that are no longer used in homes, public places and workplaces or thar are in the form of garbage are called household waste. Examples of household waste are paper, bags, boxes, food, batteries, metals, plastics, clothes, furniture, bottles, water, oil, liquid detergents, cardboard, packaging, medicine bottles and boxes, old electronic tools, masks, gloves. Separation of household waste is extremely important in terms of protecting natural resources, creating the opportunity to live in a clean environment and contributing to the economy due to energy savings. In this study, based on Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model, 4 factors were added to the model, namely, knowledge of household waste sorting, environmental concern, feeling of guilt, incentives for household waste sorting, and knowledge formed to measure household waste sorting knowledge. The Extended Waste Separation Model (EWSM) has been proposed to investigate individuals behavior towards waste separation. The proposed model was tested using structural equation modeling and the fit of the model was evaluated according to various fit criteria.
