Farm wives' business and household decision involvement in times of economicstress

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to analyse the involvement of farm wives in decision-making discussions during periods of economic stress. The results of regression analyses revealed that the perceptual variables ascertained a greater portion of the variance than the farm and family characteristics in involvement in discussions. The farm women who had spent a longer time in farming were less involved in farm household decisions. Satisfaction about the manner in which financial issues are discussed had a positive relationship with all types of decision involvement.

The largest buildings in the world 7,000 years ago

Article Abstract:

Neolithic people living in Central Europe 7000 years ago built longhouses that were the largest free-standing structures in the world at that time. The structures were up to 120 ft long, usually less than 30 ft wide, and made of timber. Construction would have taken between 2000 and 4000 hours. The longhouses generally occur in clusters of five to ten, all oriented in about the same direction, probably groups of farmsteads rather than villages. The only traces left from the longhouses are round stains that the vertical posts made in the soil.

Relocating gender and morbidity: examining men's and women's health in contemporary Western societies

Article Abstract:

Empirical evidence on gender and health has remained largely unchallenged in developed Western societies despite social, political and economic changes. This is particularly true in terms of gender differences which have become the norm and have influenced expected economic functions of men and women. Thus, research is needed to update these views and to eradicate misconceptions regarding men's and women's health.
