The history of family policy research 11Anne H. Gauthier and Judith C. Koops

Welfare regimes, population health and health inequalities: a research synthesis

“…Also relevant is the Comparative Welfare Entitlements Dataset,72 which, like the Social Citizenship Indicator Programme, provides information on a broad range of social policies for 18 countries from the latter half of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century. A more in-depth analysis of family policies can also be found in the Comparative Family Policy Database, which provides information on family allowances and parental leave regulations for 22 Organisation for Economic Co-ooperation and Development countries from 1960 to 2010 73. In our view, the detailed accounting of main social insurance programmes and family policies makes these harmonised data ideal for investigating both population health and health inequalities, especially when hypothesised pathways foreground income and gender.…”

Flax fiber surface modifications: Effects on fiber physico mechanical and flax/polypropylene interface properties

“…Moreover, properties vary widely relatively depending on their source, age of the plant, moisture content, history of fiber, quality of the plants locations, etc. Finally, the processing temperatures for most biofibers are limited about 200°C [2][3][4][5].…”

An ecological survey of some Inland Saline Waters of Algeria.

“…The maximum southern extension of the sea, which included El Golea, occurred in the Eocene. The presence of living marine organisms in the waters of the Oued Rhir, such as Foraminifera (Gauthier-Lihvre, 1935), the diatom Chuetoceras (Gauthier-Like, 1931) and Palaemonetes varians (Gauthier, 1928 ;Gurney, 1900), must be referred back at least to the Miocene if they are to be considered as marine relicts and not in some manner to have been transported later. During the Quaternary Epoch it is generally agreed that the Oued Rhir formed the lower reaches of a river, the Oued Igharghar, which flowed from the Hoggar Mountains northwards to the foot of the Atlas (text- fig.…”

“…Reported once from North Africa in Gauthier's collection from L. Fetzara on the north coast of Algeria (de Beauchamp, 1930). Gauthier (1928) indicates that the water was saline, but no figures are given. It was the most abundant of the Rotifers in our collections, especially in moderately high salinities.…”
