An Interview with Eugene Marten
No full textEugene Marten – An IntroductionBy Stéphane VanderhaegheEugene Marten is the author of five novels: In the Blind (2003), Waste (2008), Firework (2010), Layman’s Report (2013), and Pure Life (2022).

The effectiveness of referrals in the social work treatment of pregnant women, 1993
No full textThe purpose of this study was to determine if the skills employed by the social worker during the referral process had an impact on the clients pattern and frequency of substance abuse and frequency of pre-natal visits to a doctor. The instrument utilized in this study is an original questionnaire developed by the author. The questionnaire has eighteen items related to social worker skills, techniques, and methods that were identified by the Client-System Interaction Approach as being important to social work practice. The questionnaire had eleven items related to the clients substance abuse and pre-natal medical care. The results of this study demonstrated that during the referral process a social worker should assume the roles of Educator, Mediator and Consultant and utilize the skills of confrontation, a demand for work, the utilization of contracts, to be firm in dealing with authority issues, to employ focused listening in understanding a clients' chemical substance pattern, and to make the actual referral. This study demonstrated that the social workers utilization of these skills will decrease the frequency of the clients substance abuse and increase the frequency of the clients visits to the referral agency
Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers
No full textIn the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)
Failed marital relationships in the plays of Eugene O'Neill, 2005
No full textThis study examines the marital relationships in the plays of Eugene O'Neill and discusses how these relationships fail due to women's challenge to the patriarchal system. It shows how the conventions of society negatively impact marriages, creating barriers between spouses based on the belief in men's superiority to women. The main conventions discussed are the prohibition of marriage between men and women of different socio-economic statuses and the demand for male domination over female. This research explains how O'Neill's view of women is colored by the beliefs of the patriarchal society of his time and, thus, his portrayal of his male and female characters is unrealistic and biased. This we can see when we examine the marital relationship in his plays. When we look at O'Neill's plays, we see that the success of the marital relationship is conditioned by women's submission to men. O'Neill portrays women who rebel against their husbands as destroyers of their families. Thus, he does not lay blame for the failure of marriages on both women and men; rather, he blames women only. However, when we analyze female characters in O'Neill's plays, we get a picture that contradicts his dark portrayal of them
Collaboration in Iranian Scientific Publications
No full textThis study looks at international collaboration in Iranian scientific publications through the ISI Science Citation Index® (SCI) for the years 1995-1999, inclusive. These results are compared to and contrasted with the earlier findings for the periods covering 1985-1994 (Osareh & Wilson 2000). The results of Iran's increasing productivity over a 15-year period are presented. Iran doubled its output in the first two five-year periods and increased 2.8-fold from the second to the third five-year period. The rise in Iran's scientific publication output is due mainly to factors such as the ending of the war, better economic conditions, recent changes in the Iranian government's policy, basic changes in the political environment brought about by the Reformers, expansion of the Iranian presses for national publications, and the recent return of a large number of students trained overseas through government scholarships. External changes also account for the increased productivity, e.g., the acceptance of three Iranian source journals by the SCI, increased access to international databases through the Internet and better electronic communication facilities for international collaboration. One of the most important and significant factors that caused this dramatic rise seems to be the government's research policies in the last few years. Since 1999, the Iran Science, Research and Technology Ministry, has encouraged researchers to publish their non-Farsi language articles in highly ranked international scientific journals, for example, by giving prizes to researchers who publish their articles in ISI-ranked journals
Consumers' Willingness to Pay for Treatment-Induced Quality Attributes in Anjou Pears
No full textEthylene treatments provide an effective method for shortening post-harvest ripening periods for winter Anjou pears and allow market availability throughout the year. However, pear quality may vary under different treatments. A sensory experiment and a consumer survey including questions that address valuation, assessments of sensory characteristics, purchasing habits, and demographics were conducted. Analyses indicate that treatment-induced quality losses significantly affect consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP). Mean WTP for each treatment reveals that consumers prefer pears with a six-day ethylene treatment and are willing to pay a premium of $0.25/pound compared to the market price.pears, sensory, willingness to pay, Consumer/Household Economics, Crop Production/Industries, Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,
