Meeting the sexual health needs of young people living on the street
No full textIn this chapter, the situations faced by children and young people on the street are discussed alongside the risks to their sexual health. The available literature concerning the sexual health of street-living young people is described alongside findings from some recently conducted research among street-living young people in Zimbabwe. As such, the chapter explores how factors identified in the broader literature intersect and affect real lives. While recognising that living on the street presents profound and indisputable challenges to young people's sexual health and wider well-being, the chapter discusses the importance of approaches to sexual health promotion that are both meaningful and contextualised within young people's life circumstances. It discusses. the inadequacies of viewing street living young people solely through a lens that focuses on their passivity, victimisation and their need for protection. Such an approach risks both misrepresenting the challenges that these young people face and undermining their collective capacity to define their own responses. Rather, we argue that programme responses which strike a balance between acknowledging street-living young people's vulnerability and enabling them to take greater control over factors affecting their sexual health are more likely to have a positive impact on their well-being
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dynamic contextual analysis of young people's sexual health: a context specific approach to understanding barriers to, and opportunities for, change
No full textSexuality, Gender, Citizenship and Social Justice: Education’s Queer Relations
No full textRasmussen, Cover, Aggleton and Marshall provide a critical examination of sexual citizenship, by exploring key conceptual ideas that often underpin commonplace understandings of sexuality, citizenship and social justice, and trying to unsettle them. The chapter then explores how curriculum reform intersects with debates about sexual citizenship and social justice in education. The authors then turn to some of the critiques of educational reforms associated with citizenship discourses in the area of disability, religion and what Quinn and Meiners term ‘gay wins’. The chapter concludes with some provocations for future research related to sexuality education, education and belonging that purposefully eschews ‘citizenship’
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
