Migration and Time: Duration as an Instrument to Welcome or Restrict
Full text linkStates apply different material conditions to attract or restrict residence of certain types of migrants. But states can also make use of time as an instrument to design more welcoming or more restrictive policies. States can apply faster application procedures for desired migrants. Furthermore, time can be used in a more favourable way to attract desired migrants in regard to duration of residence, access to a form of permanent residence and protection against loss of residence. This contribution makes an analysis of how time is used as an instrument in shaping migration policy by the European Union (EU) legislator in the context of making migration more or less attractive. This analysis shows that two groups are treated more favourably in regard to the use of time in several aspects: EU citizens and economic- and knowledge-related third-country nationals. However, when it comes to the acquisition of permanent residence after a certain period of time, the welcoming policy towards economic- and knowledge-related migrants is no longer obvious
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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
The (Limited) Role of Children’s Rights in EU Family Reunification Law for Beneficiaries of International Protection
No full textMass influx of people from Ukraine: social entitlements and access to the labour market:Netherlands
No full textIn this contribution the entitlements of people fleeing from Ukraine to the Netherlands are researched. These entitlements are based on the Temporary Protection directive of the EU. Firstly the implementation of this directive in Dutch legislation is described, followed by some remarks about the scope of the protection, the procedure to acquire protection and the legal remedies in case of refusal of the status of displaced person. Subsequently, several social policy measures in respect of social entitlements are researched: housing, financial support, healthcare and education. Finally, this contribution gives insight in the way access to the labour market for displaced persons from Ukraine is organised in the Netherlands
Four years after Roemer:what has happened since?
No full textVeel aanbevelingen van de commissie-Roemer over de bescherming van arbeidsmigranten zijn of worden inmiddels in wetgeving omgezet. Maar ondertussen dienen zich andere vragen en problemen aan. Arbeiders komen steeds vaker van buiten de EU; en zijn arbeidsmigranten in de praktijk zelf wel gebaat bij strengere wetgeving? In deze bijdrage wordt een overzicht gegeven van de ontwikkelingen sinds het rapport van de commissie-Roemer in 2020 verscheen
