With charities, government bodies and corporations(entities) that deliver services&nbsp;for and interact with, marginalised and underrepresented&nbsp;communities,&nbsp;it is both an ethical obligation and a practical necessity for the work of these entities to be informed&nbsp;and shaped&nbsp;by members of&nbsp;these communities,&nbsp;and for meaningful participation of community members to occur within&nbsp;decision-making&nbsp;structures.&nbsp;</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; hyphens: none; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Commonly,&nbsp;meaningful participation within&nbsp;decision-making structures&nbsp;of&nbsp;entities&nbsp;involves reference groups,&nbsp;comprised of members of a&nbsp;marginalised community,&nbsp;specifically focused on&nbsp;aspects of the entity’s interactions with&nbsp;a&nbsp;specific target group. Reference groups are great for informing operational aspects&nbsp;(of entities)&nbsp;e.g.&nbsp;advising on&nbsp;service delivery. However,&nbsp;input from reference groups&nbsp;is not sufficient.&nbsp;It is&nbsp;critical&nbsp;for&nbsp;effective, appropriate and inclusive&nbsp;decision-making&nbsp;that&nbsp;people with disabilities&nbsp;are&nbsp;within&nbsp;high-level, decision-making&nbsp;structures (Boards &amp; Board committees) &amp; staff members,&nbsp;with relevant, lived-experience,&nbsp;are&nbsp;employed by the entity to ensure recommendations and input from reference groups are implemented and given value in the&nbsp;entity’s&nbsp;strategic priorities.&nbsp;</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; hyphens: none; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">As a&nbsp;young,&nbsp;disabled person&nbsp;who serves on 3&nbsp;Boards,&nbsp;I am part of the change&nbsp;involving&nbsp;people from marginalised and&nbsp;underrepresented&nbsp;communities,&nbsp;with&nbsp;lived-experience,&nbsp;being part of and making a difference through&nbsp;active participation in&nbsp;high-level,&nbsp;decision-making structures within entities. Being part of the change is not an easy experience.&nbsp;It takes grit,&nbsp;a thick-skin, patience,&nbsp;determination and dedication.&nbsp;More&nbsp;focus is given to getting people with&nbsp;lived-experience on&nbsp;Boards,&nbsp;but&nbsp;the next,&nbsp;and&nbsp;equally&nbsp;important,&nbsp;step is&nbsp;change and action&nbsp;within entities to ensure people from marginalised and underrepresented communities&nbsp;can&nbsp;<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; hyphens: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">meaningfully participate and contribute</span>&nbsp;within the Board environment.&nbsp;It is the challenge to ensure the voices of young&nbsp;and marginalised people are heard and considered within Boards, and we are not left feeling frustrated,&nbsp;undervalued&nbsp;and bored by inaction.</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; hyphens: none; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">My experience,&nbsp;as a young person on Boards &amp; Board&nbsp;Committees in a diverse range of sectors,&nbsp;has gotten me thinking about what it takes to get young people meaningfully&nbsp;involved in governance. Not just tokenistically&nbsp;to meet some predefined quota&nbsp;or societal expectation, but in a meaningful, valuable and respectful way.&nbsp;My&nbsp;recommendations for entities (charities, government bodies &amp; the private sector) to implement to ensure young people on their Boards are supported to&nbsp;meaningfully&nbsp;participate and&nbsp;contribute,&nbsp;and some recommendations to young people to&nbsp;ponder&nbsp;when&nbsp;considering applying for&nbsp;Board&nbsp;positions, are itemised below.&nbsp;</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; hyphens: none; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; hyphens: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Support</span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; hyphens: none; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Properly supported, appropriately experienced young people can learn greatly from Board service and considerably contribute to informed decision-making within the Board environment.&nbsp;</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; hyphens: none; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; hyphens: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">For entities:</span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; hyphens: none; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">a)&nbsp;Buddying:&nbsp;Many Boards&nbsp;‘buddy up’&nbsp;new (young) Board members with existing Board members to educate them about Board processes &amp; conduct,&nbsp;and most importantly to support them to feel more secure within the Board environment and&nbsp;enhance their ability&nbsp;to contribute.&nbsp;Things to consider include:</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; hyphens: none; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">i)&nbsp;Buddying is often a short-term, ‘on-Boarding’ mechanism to provide initial support&nbsp;for new Board members&nbsp;rather than&nbsp;a continued,&nbsp;support mechanism. It is important for young Board members to have a buddy acting as a support for the duration of their time on a Board.&nbsp;</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; hyphens: none; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">ii)&nbsp;Allocation of&nbsp;buddy partners&nbsp;should never be done without discussion with the young Board member and ideally their buddy should be their choice.&nbsp;Ideally, following&nbsp;their first Board meeting,&nbsp;young Board members&nbsp;can be&nbsp;asked who they would like to buddy with. Prior to allocation the Board Chairs/Presidents should act as a support.&nbsp;</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; hyphens: none; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">iii)&nbsp;Buddy allocation&nbsp;should not be regarded&nbsp;as&nbsp;permanent. Young Board members get to know different Board members better throughout their time on a Board and&nbsp;may&nbsp;benefit&nbsp;from&nbsp;support&nbsp;of different Board members for different matters. Also,&nbsp;Board members&nbsp;may change, hence,&nbsp;buddy allocation needs to be flexible.&nbsp;</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; hyphens: none; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">iv)&nbsp;Some&nbsp;Boards refer to buddying as mentoring,&nbsp;which can suggest a&nbsp;paternalistic&nbsp;relationship which may unintentionally&nbsp;intensify&nbsp;the power dynamic&nbsp;imbalance between existing and new young Board members, reducing open conversation&nbsp;and reducing&nbsp;the benefits of buddying.&nbsp;</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; hyphens: none; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">b)&nbsp;Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are confidential external counselling programs offered to employees by employers. Not all entities have EAPs. However, many (particularly those involved in service delivery or areas involving direct interaction with the public) do have EAPs. Board members need to be able to access EAPs, yet many Board members of charities serve voluntarily and cannot access EAPs&nbsp;as they are not regarded as staff. Board members,&nbsp;during their first term, will more than likely discuss&nbsp;psychologically&nbsp;distressing matters or be in&nbsp;psychologically distressing situations&nbsp;while serving on a Board.&nbsp;It is important,&nbsp;both for the health and wellbeing of Board members and Board culture,&nbsp;that Board members are supported through an EAP to confidentially deal with the impact of such experiences with qualified healthcare professionals. For young Board members, who often have small and less established support networks, EAP access is a&nbsp;necessity. &nbsp;</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; hyphens: none; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">c)&nbsp;Training:&nbsp;Training is a major part of supporting young Board members. Training has been covered further under the capacity building recommendations.&nbsp;</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; hyphens: none; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; hyphens: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">For young people:&nbsp;</span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; hyphens: none; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">a)&nbsp;Personal support:&nbsp;To ensure young people’s wellbeing,&nbsp;they should not&nbsp;serve on Boards unless they have a stable close support network. Young people need at least 2 people they have known for 2+ years, who have supported them in the past,&nbsp;to support them during their Board service. The reality of being on Boards,&nbsp;as a young person,&nbsp;is&nbsp;that it is&nbsp;not&nbsp;a&nbsp;smooth&nbsp;process. There will be ups and downs,&nbsp;and&nbsp;sometimes nights (after meetings) when you cannot sleep.&nbsp;For your own well-being you need people who know you&nbsp;and can reliably support you. I am lucky to have 2-4 people (2 family and 2 friends), with similar political views &amp; shared values,&nbsp;who support me.&nbsp;</p></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://pokhackett.blogspot.com/feeds/7981809923836635306/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://pokhackett.blogspot.com/2022/04/physical-disability-australia.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/890427422526765293/posts/default/7981809923836635306'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/890427422526765293/posts/default/7981809923836635306'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://pokhackett.blogspot.com/2022/04/physical-disability-australia.html' title='Physical Disability Australia'/><author><name>Micah Costa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13392553755784934826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890427422526765293.post-1028373821457674916</id><published>2022-04-29T00:48:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2022-04-29T00:48:44.182-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Benefits of Organic Apricot Oil For Hair</title><content type='html'><p>&nbsp;<span style="background-color: white; color: #595959; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Packed with nutrients, fatty acids, and antioxidants, <a href="https://beautytipshalk.com/">apricot oil</a> is a staple in many hair care routines. Known to revitalize, soften, and moisturize hair, this rejuvenating oil is all-natural and highly sought-after. The advantages of using apricot oil for hair maintenance are vast, and you’ll find some of the most prominent perks listed below.</span></p><div style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #595959; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;"></div><p style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #595959; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">&nbsp;</p><h2 style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.95); font-family: Oswald, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 26px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">Boasts Soothing Properties</h2><p style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #595959; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">Infused with oleic acid, apricot oil effortlessly treats hair and scalp issues. As an omega-9 fatty acid, oleic acid provides hair follicles with essential proteins. Best of all, it makes hair softer and more supple. Many apricot oil users claim that their hair is much easier to manage due to the soothing properties found in oleic acid.</p><h2 style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.95); font-family: Oswald, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 26px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">Moisturizes With Ease</h2><p style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #595959; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">Most notably, apricot oil combats dryness. When rubbed into the scalp, apricot oil offers unmatched hydration, providing much-needed relief to flaky scalps. With that said, for those who struggle with dandruff, apricot oil can prove a godsend. Above all else, apricot oil hydrates hair without leaving it oily to the touch.</p><h2 style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.95); font-family: Oswald, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 26px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">Stimulates Hair Growth</h2><p style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #595959; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">Ideal for those who dream of long, luscious hair, apricot oil promotes hair growth. Linoleic acid, another predominant fatty acid, is responsible for this rapid growth. This beloved compound also helps control water loss in hair. With all these wonderful elements working in tandem, the scalp, hair, and follicles thrive.</p><h2 style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.95); font-family: Oswald, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 26px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">Offers A Pleasant Scent</h2><p style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #595959; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">Sometimes, it can be seemingly impossible to keep your hair smelling good. With apricot oil, gone are the days of having to find creative solutions to musty scalp odors. Hallmarked for its sweet, nutty smell, apricot oil delights the senses. It absorbs easily into the skin, resulting in a long-lasting, delightful aroma.</p><h2 style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.95); font-family: Oswald, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 26px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">Works As A Gentle Lubricant</h2><p style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #595959; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">For sensitive scalps, apricot oil alleviates irritation. By providing lubrication to the skin, apricot oil gently tackles problem areas while reducing inflammation. When the apricot oil is rinsed out, the effects don’t wash away with it.

Fortunately, apricot oil for hair absorbs trace amounts of water in the air, protecting the scalp and hair from damp, humid weather. As a result, curls stay in place, straight hair doesn’t frizz, and hairstyles hold their natural shape.</p></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://pokhackett.blogspot.com/feeds/1028373821457674916/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://pokhackett.blogspot.com/2022/04/the-benefits-of-organic-apricot-oil-for.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/890427422526765293/posts/default/1028373821457674916'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/890427422526765293/posts/default/1028373821457674916'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://pokhackett.blogspot.com/2022/04/the-benefits-of-organic-apricot-oil-for.html' title='The Benefits of Organic Apricot Oil For Hair'/><author><name>Micah Costa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13392553755784934826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890427422526765293.post-4065524132146734370</id><published>2022-04-29T00:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2022-04-29T00:18:00.126-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Development and application of global techno-economic parameters for selection and operation of transmission line conductors</title><content type='html'><p>&nbsp;</p><div class="sectionInfo abstractSectionHeading" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><h2 class=" article-section__title section__title " id="d1242884e1" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.25rem; margin: 1em 0px 0.83em;">Abstract</h2></div><div class="abstractSection abstractInFull" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box;">The<a href="https://technorenovation.com/"> financial implications</a> of losses in transmission and distribution line conductors are analysed, with the introduction of two new universal parameters, viz. Financial Burden Constant (FBC) and Critical Operating Hours (COH). Each size of a transmission line conductor has a distinctive value of FBC and COH. Techno-economic issues related to transmission systems can very conveniently be addressed using these parameters. The uniqueness of these two constants lies in their ability to combine all the techno-commercial parameters associated with transmission lines and to assist in the comparison of all techno-economic issues from a global perspective. The paper demonstrates how the design and the selection, operation and renovation of the transmission line conductors can be carried out straightforwardly with the help of FBC and COH. These parameters form convenient and simple tools for evaluating transmission and distribution line projects and operating on a global platform.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box;">&nbsp;the protection issues related to distributed generation in distribution networks are considered. Especially, the requirements for the generation unit's protection are discussed. A new graphical approach is used for finding the unambiguous limits of operation. The method is based on using present network planning systems applied widely among network companies. The features and constraints of these systems are considered. The protection planning and coordination are also discussed in a wider aspect. The method proposed is applied in an example case using actual network data.presents a new approach to solve the short-term unit commitment problem using genetic algorithm-based simulated annealing method for utility system.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box;">&nbsp;The objective of this paper is to find the generation scheduling such that the total operating cost can be minimised when subjected to a variety of constraints. This also means that it is desirable to find the optimal generating unit commitment in the power system for the next H hours. Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are general-purpose optimisation techniques based on principles inspired from the biological evolution using metaphors of mechanisms such as neural section, genetic recombination and survival of the fittest. In this, the unit commitment schedule is coded as a string of symbols. An initial population of parent solutions is generated at random. Here, each schedule is formed by committing all the units according to their initial status ('flat start'). Here, the parents are obtained from a predefined set of solutions, i.e., each and every solution is adjusted to meet the requirements.&nbsp;</p></div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://pokhackett.blogspot.com/feeds/4065524132146734370/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://pokhackett.blogspot.com/2022/04/development-and-application-of-global.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/890427422526765293/posts/default/4065524132146734370'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/890427422526765293/posts/default/4065524132146734370'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://pokhackett.blogspot.com/2022/04/development-and-application-of-global.html' title='Development and application of global techno-economic parameters for selection and operation of transmission line conductors'/><author><name>Micah Costa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13392553755784934826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890427422526765293.post-2677251344291437395</id><published>2022-04-28T23:46:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2022-04-28T23:46:48.770-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ASSOCIATION BETWEEN EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND BULLYING BEHAVIOR IN CHILDREN AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL NO 7, BANYUASIN, PRAJIN, PALEMBANG</title><content type='html'><p>&nbsp;<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Fira Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bolder;">Background:</span><span style="background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Fira Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">&nbsp;</span><span style="background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Fira Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Bullying is a form of repetitive persecution both on <a href="https://lelylifestyles.com/">physical and emotional aggressions</a> and potentially causing mental and physical disorders on perpetrators and victims.
