Orientamento educativo e disuguaglianze di fronte all’istruzione universitaria in Italia: risultati da un esperimento randomizzato
No full textThe participation in tertiary education in Italy is characterised by sharp vertical and horizontal inequalities, linked to social origins, and by a marked mismatch between the demand for skilled jobs and the distribution of graduates across fields of study. These two problems may derive from the lack of information about the profitability of the investment in tertiary education among students and families. We explored this issue by designing a counselling intervention to provide high school seniors with up-dated and high-quality information about costs of university and post-secondary vocational courses attendance, occupational returns guaranteed by the various fields of study and the chances of successfully completing them. We tested the effect of our initiative on high school senior students’ decisions to enrol either at university or post-secondary vocational courses through a randomized controlled trial. It started in October 2013 and involved about 9,000 students from 62 schools in the provinces of Milan, Vicenza, Bologna and Salerno. We found that treated students did not increase their participation in tertiary education compared to that of control students. However, they were induced to change their initial choice of the field of study moving away from those poorly rewarding towards either highly rewarding ones (students from advantaged families) or post-secondary vocational education (students from disadvantaged families). We explained these effects resorting the rational action theory models
Lasciare il lavoro, e poi? Transizioni occupazionali all’ombra della pandemia
No full textThe increase in job resignations during the pandemic period has brought back to the centre of the public and scientific debate the role that job plays within personal biographies. Based on a questionnaire administered to a representative sample of Italian adults in the summer of 2023, the Be-Change survey supplemented existing data with an in-depth look at the motivations and outcomes of job transitions. What emerged is that job-to-job mobility leads to an improvement in perceived economic
and living conditions, and in the quality of both working and personal life. The literature on the Great Resignation has focused on choices made by workers – albeit influenced by the crisis. This research, instead, emphasizes the consequences of the pandemic, as they have been suffered by workers, in terms of unemployment and inactivity, with a specific attention to the inequalities related to individual ascribed and acquired characteristics
I lavori e le retribuzioni dei sociologi
No full textIn Italia, il tema della condizione occupazionale dei giovani laureati – per tasso di occupazione, retribuzioni e congruenza con le competenze acquisite – pone diversi interrogativi rilevanti. Per i laureati in Sociologia la ricerca qui presentata fa emergere una forte articolazione della collocazione lavorativa in cui profili a marcata connotazione sociologica si affiancano a profili più sfumati. Se diversi sono gli ambiti in cui le competenze proprie della Sociologia possono essere applicate con successo, i dati suggeriscono anche un ripensamento di contenuti e modalità dell’offerta formativa
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
