“…However, we are unable to examine other motivations of employers associated with gifts. Probably, employers expect reciprocity or attempt to reinforce the asymmetric relationship (Kontos, 2014;Tappert and Dobner, 2015); these arguments call for more detailed analysis.…”

“…Employers sometimes try to make domestic workers feel like one of the family by giving advice assistance and gifts out of kindness, benevolence or to demonstrate care (Bakan and Stasiulis, 1997;Kontos, 2014;Tappert and Dobner, 2015). Gifts can range from old or second-hand clothes, to furniture and gadgets, and left-over food (Bakan and Stasiulis, 1997); but there are also examples of more expensive support like paying for children's education (Kontos, 2014).…”

“…However, it is argued that these 'gifts' reinforce the inequality and asymmetry of the employment relationship. They are substitutes for benefits or higher wages (Romero, 1992) and lead to demands for loyalty and reciprocity, notably expecting workers to be available at any time, or to do overtime without pay (Kontos, 2014;Tappert and Dobner, 2015).…”

Policy makers and researchers are alarmed by the pervasive substandard working conditions and mistreatment in domestic work worldwide. Using an original dataset from a sample of domestic workers in Portugal (n=684), our study explores types of abuse and harassment and tries to unveil the potential factors affecting the likelihood of having been a victim. Empirical evidence pointed to three segments of domestic workers: victims of labour abuses related to contract and wages, victims of multiple abuses including mistreatment and also psychological and sexual harassment, and a segment with no occurrence of abuse. Informal workers are more often victims of labour abuses, while migrants, especially Brazilian women, are more likely to report all types of abuse and harassment. On the other hand, carers of the elderly often suffered multiple abuses. The results suggest that despite the prevalence of labour abuses in Portugal, the most severe abuses are uncommon.

“…Maternalism obscures paid work and unpaid services. Tappert and Dobner (2015), Lan (2006), andSotelo (2001) agreed that maternalism is a one-way relationship that claims loyalty and reinforces inequalities. Personalism is a two-way relationship based on mutual respect with the recognition of the domestic worker as an individual and as a person.…”

Concrete structure is a compulsory course in Civil Engineering. The problem that occurs is that students do not understand the basics of structural analysis. A media that connects fundamental structural analysis with concrete structures have not yet been developed. The purpose of this research is to develop interactive IT-based learning media in this subject. This research is development research. The data collection was conducted with testing and questionnaires that were then analyzed by using quantitative descriptive techniques. The results of this study are as follows:(1) the results of student responses get an average score of 45.1 and are in the very good category;(2) the student learning outcomes test has an average value of 74.84; (3) the concrete structure of learning media that needs to be improved is the appearance of the color composition to make it more attractive. CONCLUSIONS ConclusionsBased on the results of research and discussion, it can be concluded as follows.-The results of student responses to the concrete structure learning media got a total score of 1489, with an average of 45.1, which falls in the very good category. -Student learning outcomes test after the application of concrete structure learning media had an average score of 74.84, a minimum score of 60, and a maximum value of 90. -In terms of feasibility, the concrete structure learning media is feasible to use, and what needs to be improved is the appearance of the color composition to make it more attractive. SuggestionsBased on the conclusions above, several things can be suggested, as follows:-Students like learning with interesting media, so they feel happy in learning, for that each subject needs to be have interesting media and make it easier for students to learn. -The institution should provide training in making media, to improve the quality of learning media for each lecturer. -Students should make good use of the advances in technology and media that have been provided with positive things, such as accessing learning materials on the web, e-learning, journals, and e-books, and so on. -Future research should be conducted with more in-depth research on concrete structure learning media in other ranges of material and with a more attractive appearance.
