How a Mandatory Activation Program Reduces Unemployment Durations: The Effects of Distance
No full textIn an experimental setting some Danish unemployed workers were assigned to an activation program while others were not. Unemployed who were assigned to the activation program found a job more quickly. We show that the activation effect increases with the distance between the place of residence of the unemployed worker and the place where the activation took place. We also find that the quality of the post-unemployment jobs was not affected by the activation program. Both findings confirm that activation programs mainly work because they are compulsory and unemployed don’t like them.Unemployment insurance;unemployment duration;experiment;activation programs

Article and Author Level Measurements
No full textArticle and author level measurements have been discussed in this Unit. Author and researcher identifiers are absolutely essential for searching databases in the WWW because a name like D Singh can harbour a number of names such as Dan Singh, Dhan Singh, Dhyan Singh, Darbara Singh, Daulat Singh, Durlabh Singh and more. The ResearcherID.com, launched by Thomson Reuters, is a web-based global registry of authors and researchers that individualises each and every name. Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) is also a registry that uniquely identifies an author or researcher. Both have been discussed in this Unit. Article Level Metrics (Altmetrics) has been treated in this Unit with the discussion as to how altmetrics can be measured with Altmetric.com and ImpactStory.org. Altmetrics for Online Journals has also been touched. There are a number of academic social networks of which ResearchGate.net, Academia.edu, GetCited.org, etc. have been discussed. Regional journal networks with bibliometric indicators are also in existence. Two networks of this type such as SciELO – Scientific Electronic Library Online, and Redalyc have been dealt with. This Unit discusses in details aspects such as Unique Identifiers for Authors and Researchers; Article Level Metrics (Altmetrics); Academic Social Networks; and Regional Journal Networks with Bibliometric Indicators
Z problematyki wartości duchowych rosyjskiego prawosławia – „Dziennik pisarza” emigranta B.K. Zajcewa
No full textThe prose written by a representative of the First Wave of Russian Emigration
– B.K. Zaytsev – has been investigated in Poland since the 1980s, and at the beginning
of the 21st century we know that there are some academic centers and researchers that
have dedicated their work to different aspects of the prose written by the author
of ’A Writer’s Diary’.
This article examines Zaytsev’s essays devoted to the spiritual values of the Russian Orthodox Church. Their essence is described in Zaytsev’s essays about John of
Kronstadt or the Optina Hermitage, which is where Russian notables such as N. Gogol,
V. Solovyov, K. Leontyev, F. Dostoyevsky or even L. Tolstoy himself came to seek advice.
Zaytsev’s essays: ‘The history of the Russian soul’ and ‘One more time about Athos’ are
very important as they provide an understanding of the values of the Russian Orthodox
Church. In the latter the author contemplates his visit to the monks of Athos reminiscing
about their kindness, rectitude and modesty which, according to Zaytsev, ‘calmed
his own soul’
