    Jean-Jacques Paul und Jake Murdoch, Internationaler Vergleich : Hochschulabsolventen mit Informatikkenntnissen. Ende der 90er Jahre erforderten zwei Drittel aller ausgeschriebenen Stellen von den Hochschulabsolventen sehr gute Informatikkenntnisse, doch bezeichneten lediglich 30% aller Hochschulab solventen ihre Computerkenntnisse als zufrieden stellend. Diese jungen Leute mussten ihre Erstausbildung deshalb vor allem durch Weiterbil- dungsmafînahmen vervollstândigen. Bessere Informatikkenntnisse gehen im Ubrigen mit bes- serer Bezahlung einher. Zu diesen Ergebnissen gelangt eine Erhebung, die mit 35.000 Hoch- schulabsolventen aller Fachbereiche aus elf euro- pâischen Làndern und Japan durchgefiihrt wurde.Jean-Jacques Paul and Jake Murdoch, An international comparison : looking for graduates with computer skills By 1990, two-thirds of all the jobs available for graduates with higher educational qualifications required advanced computer skills. However, only 30 % of these graduates felt that they mastered these skills sufficiently well. Many of them have had to complete [their] initial vocational training by taking continuing training courses. In addition, mastering computer skills usually means earning higher wages. These results were based on a survey carried out on 35 000 people who had graduated in disciplines of all kinds in eleven European countries and Japan.À la fin des années 1990, deux-tiers des emplois requièrent, de la part des diplômés de l'enseignement supérieur, un haut niveau de compétences informatiques. Pourtant, seuls 30 % de ces diplômés se déclarent suffisamment compétents. Ces jeunes ont dû compléter leur formation initiale en recourant notamment à la formation continue. Ces compétences informatiques s'accompagnent d'ailleurs de salaires plus élevés. Ces résultats proviennent d'une enquête réalisée auprès de 35 000 diplômés de toutes disciplines dans onze pays d'Europe et au Japon.Paul Jean-Jacques, Murdoch Jake.

    How Do Second-Generation Immigrant Students Access Higher Education? The Importance of Vocational Routes to Higher Education in Switzerland, France and Germany

    No full text
    We analyse the access to different institutional pathways to higher education for second-generation students, focusing on youths that hold a higher-education entrance certificate. The alternative vocational pathway appears to compensate to some degree, compared to the traditional academic one, for North-African and Southern-European youths in France, those from Turkey in Germany, and to a lesser degree those from Portugal, Turkey, Ex-Yugoslavia, Albania/Kosovo in Switzerland. This is not the case in Switzerland for Western-European, Italian and Spanish youths who indeed access higher education via the academic pathway more often than Swiss youths. Using youth panel and survey data, multinomial models are applied to analyse these choices of pathways

    Pre-Biblical and Old Testament rape law parallels: recurring androcentric themes in historic Biblical text

    No full text
    Rape legislation in ancient Near Eastern texts is very slanted in respect to a pervasive androcentric ideology that drives the punitive outcomes. Unfortunately, evidence shows the lives of women in terms of their perceived societal value are affected (often negatively) in regard to their social status; regardless of region or period. Women did not wield much social power in ancient times and the laws demonstrate resolutions for prescribed transgressions that neglected to include any consideration for the viewpoint of women; who were the primary victims of the rape offense. As a result, women suffered and were historically antagonized by the these laws which failed to protect them. This research will illuminate the disparities by examining the laws in various regions of the period and challenge the underlying themes.M.A.L.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Jake J. Jone

    Poiesis and Obstruction in Art Practice

    No full text
    This PhD thesis examines the concept of poiesis, that is ‘calling into existence that which was not there before’, in the context of obstruction in studio practice. It poses the question ‘Is there a methodology that engages with obstruction which in turn calls new work’? In this thesis, the concept of poiesis emerging from the late Dr. Murray Cox’s ‘Aeolian Mode’, is analyzed alongside a concept of praxis, (a philosophical companion to poiesis), familiar to artistic practice. This thesis describes the orientation of the original idea, The Aeolian Mode, clinically developed by Dr. Murray Cox in Broadmoor Psychiatric Hospital. This PhD seeks to identify if there are similar ‘tenets of approach’ held within the methodology of ‘The Aeolian Mode’, that would be useful or are identifiable in artistic studio practice. This thesis draws on the work of the philosopher, Professor Richard Kearney, specifically Kearney’s ideas on the necessity of ‘the other’ for ‘radical possibility’ to occur. It maps a context of both Freudian and Jungian interpretations of art practice, identifying how these ideas have shaped the way art is seen today. Furthermore, it challenges the Freudian idea of ‘pathography’ and favours a Jungian approach of ‘individuation’ in the understanding of creative processes. It develops a ‘methodology of the conversation’, interviewing students, established artists, tutors about their approaches to obstruction/poiesis in art practice. Additionally, it examines my own obstruction to painting and identifies the methodology that released me from this obstruction. Conducting these interviews on art practice has enabled me to confirm my initial concerns about Freudian ‘pathography’ whilst validating the possibility of the Jungian concept of ‘individuation’ being of use to art practice. Finally, this PhD discusses the implications for further study and research, which have emerged during the ‘methodology of the conversation’ and the task of dissolving my obstruction to painting
