Discussion Conclusion. This case study lies at the intersection of massive shifts in US employment structures, changes in public policy and potential linkages to health and social well-being. The case in Georgia offers in-depth insight into the structural precariousness of contingent work. A policy decision by a statewide official exposed this vulnerability as well as the critical role of the public safety net for this contingent work force. The systematic layoffs of contracted school employees during school breaks in Georgia shifted the economic responsibility from the employer to the state at various times throughout the year. This makes Georgia school workers more vulnerable to the political decisions made at the state level regarding unemployment benefits. If the school workers were employed year round on a twelve month pay scale similar to public school teachers, the reliance on the state’s safety net would diminish. Grassroots organizing was used to pressure policy makers at the state and federal level to effectively remedy the immediate crisis. However, the structural precariousness of these jobs remains, leaving the health and well-being of contracted Georgia school workers vulnerable to the whims of politicians and their employers looking the other way. In the case of the GA school workers, the immediacy of this threat is highlighted by the GA Labor Commissioner’s stated intention to seek new legislation next year (▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇). A critical factor that allowed the US DoL to intervene in Georgia was the fact that the GA Labor Commissioner’s unilateral changes to unemployment compensation (UC) lacked any statutory basis. If legislation in Georgia is passed to amend Georgia’s unemployment insurance rules to legalize a the unemployment denials, the unemployment benefits could be taken away again, this time with less leverage available to the US DoL. The level of participation in the campaign among Georgia school workers was higher than might be expected for a state with very low union density, history of anti-worker policies and recurring retaliation against organizing workers. The participation from workers in various cities outside of Atlanta including Griffin, Macon, Columbus, Savannah, Augusta and Lithia Springs is notable in itself (because worker organizing outside of Atlanta is less common), but more so because many of these workers were not previously connected to worker organizations. Workers acted collectively and almost spontaneously. Along the way, organization be...

Discussion Conclusion. The results show that the most common type of agreement error made by the EFL learners is a grammatical agreement error with a plural count noun, or noun phrase consisting of a count noun, as the subject with a singular verb. The verb most commonly involved in an error is to be and the error is most commonly made by a male student. The second most common agreement error is made with notional agreement, and especially with collective nouns such as family or group. The learners could be confusing the notion of family and group as sets of individuals rather than as collective nouns could be one of the reasons behind the errors. They could also be ambivalent, or ignorant, in their choice between American and British English. Distance errors require long sentences and are thus naturally less common in texts in which short sentences dominate. However, within the sample texts, there are few long sentences and only a handful of relative or subordinate clauses. This might be due to the proficiency level of the learners and may indicate avoidance of distance agreement. A study of the language proficiency of the learners in their native Swedish could shed some light on the issue, since the proficiency of the L1 has been shown to affect the L2. Proximity agreement is barely visible in the data. Since it is a quite informal type of agreement, the written, and more formal, context could explain the absence. The use of proximity agreement might indicate a higher level of proficiency and the incidences of proximity agreement error could be interpreted as an attempt to reach above one's own potential. The relative difference between male and female learners' errors indicates that female learners tend to be more accurate in their writing compared to male learners. The attitudes towards grammar, and perhaps education itself, could prove that female students are more inclined to write correctly whereas the male students are more encouraged to write just anything at all. If the teachers view male and female students differently, it is reasonable to assume that it affects the way the students view themselves and in the end affects the learning. In a few cases in this study, the reason behind the errors might stem from a confusion between plural -s and a contraction of is i.e. 's. The learners who continuously make this kind of error could be overusing a previously learned concept which they do not fully comprehend. If the learner is struggling with contractions and the genitive...

Discussion Conclusion. The surveillance of diabetes complicated pregnancies in Tennessee is conducted through the use of the Birth Statistical System (BSS) and the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) survey data. To date, there has been no formal evaluation conducted to assess the use of the BSS or PRAMS as a surveillance system for diabetes complicated pregnancies. As the first part of a project evaluating surveillance systems for diabetes complicated pregnancy in TN, this poster focuses on the comparison of BSS to PRAMS based on agreement measures between the two systems.
