This paper explores the potential role of adverse working conditions in the determination of workers’ sickness absences. Our data contain detailed information on the prevalence of job disamenities at the workplace from a representative sample of Finnish workers. The results from reduced-form models reveal that workers facing adverse working conditions tend to have a greater number of sickness absences. In addition, reduced-form models clearly show that regional labour market conditions are an important determinant of sickness absences. Hence, sickness absences are more common in regions of low unemployment. Recursive models suggest that the prevalence of harms at the workplace is associated with job dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction with workers’ sickness absences.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. Andrew Goodwin
Andrew Goodwin had 7 key ideas that he believed could be
identified within a music video. He also believed that each
one of these ideas could be found within most, if not all,
music videos. For example, he stated that music videos
demonstrate genre characteristics, for example a stage
performance in a metal video or a dance performance in a
boy/girl band music video. Throughout my music video
analysis I intend on addressing the different ideas that
Goodwin suggested existed within a music video.
3. Genre Characteristics
For my third analysis I have decided to choose a song that is similar to the genres that I have
analyzed before, but not exactly the same genre, as to try and fully understand the concept
behind creating a music video. I chose the song ‘Far Away’ by the band ‘Nickleback’. This song
falls into the genre of acoustic-rock. Within these videos it is common for them to portray strong
feelings through the use of lyrics and visuals. Nickleback do this very well within the video for
‘Far Away’ as it consists of a couple where the male has a dangerous job, which he gets called
to do within the video. As he gets the call the woman becomes annoyed and very worried as this
is clearly pointed out through her performance and a two shot of the characters in which she
turns away from the man. Later within the video the idea of the woman feeling worried is
reinforced as she switches the TV channel, which is followed by a close up on the TV to show
she has changed it to the local news stations so that she can keep track of the fire that her
partner has gone to try and extinguish. Finally the woman shows intense sorrow and depression
near the end of the video – made clear through the use of a medium-close up and shallow focus
- as she receives word that a tree has fallen upon her partner. This is then followed by an
enormous amount of relief as she sees that her partner has made it home alive. This is effective
as the audience that it is intended for could relate to the pain of nearly loosing someone that they
love. Throughout the video, it is intercut with performance shots from the band. This is common
in a song like this as the performance links with the rock section of the genre while the narrative
links greatly to the acoustic genre.
4. Relationship between lyrics
and visuals
Throughout the video there is a few moments in which the lyrics and
visuals link together. One point of this is when Chad Kroger sings the
line ‘If I don’t see you anymore’ and the female character watches the
man leave, knowing that it may be the last time that she will get to see
him. This is effective as it gets the audience thinking about what
exactly the male has as a job that could be so dangerous that the
woman may never see him again. Later in the song the Kroger sings
the line ‘I forgive you’ which is quite contradictory to the scene playing
out. The male character at this point is being left stranded in this
dangerous place by the helicopter, which would be a difficult thing to
forgive as this causes a tree to fall on him instead of him being safely
on the helicopter. Leading onto my next point, Kroger sings ‘Keep
breathing’ as the video uses a multi-take to make it seem as though
the male character has been crushed by a falling tree.
5. Close-ups of the artist?
Throughout the video there is a lot of close ups of the artist, mainly
Chad Kroger. This is because he is the lead singer within in the
band and the close-up shots follow the common conventions of a
music video. Nearly every scene that has performance in it
includes a close up of Chad Kroger. This has likely been done as
he is the main face of the band ‘Nickleback’ therefore he is a major
selling point for the band. Thus when the music video ahs been
recorded the director has decided to include lots of close-up shots
on Chad Kroger. As you can see in the images below, when the
director has taken these close-up shots he has made use of the
rule of thirds technique to frame Chad Kroger.
6. Notion to looking?
Throughout the music video there is some notion to looking. It begins with the
female character looking away from the male to try and avoid eye contact with
him. This two shot helps to portray the feelings that the woman has at this
moment in time so that the audience can clearly understand the narrative of
the video without having to think about it too much, which could possibly lead
the audience to be put off from the rest of the video. Secondly the male
character is seen looking at the helicopter and shouting as it takes off leaving
them behind. The mise-en-scene of this shot, most importantly the
performance from the actor, heavily impacts upon the audience as they can
clearly see that just from the facial expressions of the actor, he has lost hope
and realizes the danger of the situation that he has managed to find himself
stuck in. Finally, the female character looks across the fireman in one of the
final shots of the video with depression as she notices that her partner is not
among them. Her expression suddenly changes to the opposite as she sees
her partner emerge from behind the other firemen. This is effective as it makes
the audience feel relief and joy for this woman as she finds out that the man
that she loves is still alive.
7. Is the video category
illustration, amplification or
contradictory?
Personally, I believe that the video falls into the category of amplification as it
amplifies the feelings that the song is about within the music video. It also
amplifies the lyrics through the use of visuals. The narrative is about a
firefighter being called away from his partner to take care of a forest fire in
which it is suggested that he dies, just to be revealed at the end that he did not
in fact die. The song is about loving someone, it is clear that in the narrative
the woman is in love with the man who is believed to have died. Throughout
the video it shows this by shots of the woman appearing to be incredibly
worried about the man as he has been called out to do such a dangerous job,
followed by her becoming depressed and crying when she hears that he has
not returned with his fellow firemen. Finally, it portrays the idea of love by her
reaction of joy, relief and happiness at the end of the video when she notices
the man walk out from behind the other firemen.
