    IAB assumes that the labour, capital and goods markets will adjust themselves to the drop in the supply of labour at least in the long term. For this reason it is not sensible to forecast "a gap in skilled labour" - of any size whatsoever. Having said that, a mis-match may come about on the labour market in respect to certain qualifications,cupations or regions and this may mean that vacant jobs cannot be filled in many la-bour market segments. After the Hartz reforms, the tensions on the labour market increased markedly during the economic upturn of the years 2006/07 and 2010/11. At the end of 2012, the de-mand for labour declined slightly in the wake of the weak economy but nevertheless shortages continue to be visible in individual regions and fields of work. At the end of 2012, the economic situation in Germany had become cloudy under the pull of the Euro crisis. However, for 2013, a recovery is to be expected. The labour market will be able to pick up again, even if it is not able to live up to the old trend. At the same time, employment ought to develop somewhat more favourably than unemployment. The Euro crisis has led to a redirection of the migration flows, especially those from central and eastern European countries to Germany. In 2011 the net immigration of foreign citizens amounted to 279,000 persons; for 2012 a net immigration of 340,000 to 380,000 persons is to be expected. This high level is surely due to the positive la-bour market development in Germany and the comparatively poor situation in the European crisis states. In the mid- and long term, immigration from other EU states will drop. The largest potential for immigration lies with the third countries. If participation in employment continues to rise, the labour force potential in Germany will drop at a net immigration of 100,000 persons by 7.3 million by 2035 and at a net immigration of 200,000 persons by 5.4 million persons. This decrease must not be confused with "a gap in skilled labour". In order to ensure the sustainable development of the labour force potential in Ger-many, an active strategy towards the mobilisation of domestic potential is necessary, especially of women and older persons, but also the targeted recruitment of qualified skilled workers from abroad along with their integration into the labour market. Immi-gration from third countries in particular would have to be higher if a drop in the labour force potential is to be clearly limited.Das IAB geht davon aus, dass sich die Arbeits-, Kapital- und Gütermärkte zumindest längerfristig an den Rückgang des Arbeitsangebotes anpassen werden. Die Progno-se einer „Fachkräftelücke“, in welcher Größenordnung auch immer, ist deshalb nicht sinnvoll. Allerdings kann es zu Mismatch auf dem Arbeitsmarkt in qualifikatorischer, beruflicher und regionaler Hinsicht kommen, so dass in vielen Arbeitsmarktsegmen-ten offene Stellen nicht besetzt werden können. Nach den Hartz-Reformen stieg die Arbeitsmarktanspannung im Aufschwung der Jahre 2006/07 und 2010/11 deutlich an. Zum Jahresende 2012 ist die Arbeitsnach-frage im Zuge der Konjunkturschwäche etwas zurückgegangen. Dennoch sind in ein-zelnen Regionen und Berufsfeldern weiterhin Engpässe sichtbar. Zum Ende des Jah-res 2012 hat sich die konjunkturelle Lage in Deutschland im Sog der Eurokrise einge-trübt. Für das Jahr 2013 ist jedoch mit einer Erholung zu rechnen. Der Arbeitsmarkt wird dann wieder zulegen, allerdings nicht an den alten Trend anknüpfen können. Dabei dürfte sich die Beschäftigung etwas besser entwickeln als die Arbeitslosigkeit. Die Eurokrise hat zu einer Umlenkung der Migrationsströme vor allem aus den mittel- und osteuropäischen Staaten nach Deutschland geführt. Im Jahr 2011 belief sich die Nettozuwanderung von ausländischen Staatsbürgern auf 279.000 Personen, für 2012 ist mit einer Nettozuwanderung von 340.000 bis 380.000 Personen zu rechnen. Die-ses hohe Niveau ist wohl auf die positive Arbeitsmarktentwicklung in Deutschland und der vergleichsweise schlechten Lage in den europäischen Krisenstaaten zurückzu-führen. Mittel- und langfristig wird die Zuwanderung aus anderen EU-Staaten sinken. Die großen Wanderungspotenziale der Zukunft liegen in den Drittstaaten. Das Erwerbspersonenpotenzial wird in Deutschland bis zum Jahr 2035 bei einer stei-genden Erwerbsbeteiligung und einer Nettozuwanderung von 100.000 Personen um 7,3 Millionen und bei einer Nettozuwanderung von 200.000 Personen um 5,4 Millio-nen Personen zurückgehen. Dieser Rückgang ist nicht mit einer „Fachkräftelücke“ zu verwechseln. Um das Erwerbspersonenpotenzial in Deutschland nachhaltig zu entwickeln, ist eine aktive Strategie zur Mobilisierung inländischer Potenziale insbesondere von Frauen und Älteren, aber auch die gezielte Anwerbung von qualifizierten Fachkräften aus dem Ausland sowie deren Integration in den Arbeitsmarkt notwendig. Insbesondere die Zuwanderung aus Drittstaaten müsste höher ausfallen, wenn der Rückgang des Erwerbspersonenpotenzials deutlich begrenzt werden soll

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    Full text link
    We 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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
