Sickness Absence and Peer Effects -Evidence from a Swedish Municipality
No full textIn this paper we use detailed employment records to study to what extent sickness absence among work group colleagues influences individual sickness absence. Our results indicate an overall positive peer effect. However, further analysis show peer behavior to be important for women’s sickness absence, but not for men’s, and that woman are only affected by their female co-workers. Our findings also suggest that it, on average, takes two to three years for a new employee to become influenced by the absence pattern of the work group. In light of our results, we cannot rule out the possibility of social norms being important to the individual sick leave decision.Peer effects; sickness absence; social norms

Childhood Peer Status and the Clustering of Adverse Living Conditions in Adulthood
No full textWithin the context of the school class, children attain a social position in the peer hierarchy to which varying amounts of status are attached. Several studies have shown that children’s peer status is associated with a wide range of social and health-related outcomes. These studies commonly target separate outcomes, paying little attention to the fact that such circumstances are likely to go hand in hand. The overarching aim of the present study was therefore to examine the impact of childhood peer status on the clustering of living conditions in adulthood. Based on a 1953 cohort born in Stockholm, Sweden, multinomial regression analysis demonstrated that children who had lower peer status also had exceedingly high risks of ending up in more problem-burdened clusters as adults. Moreover, these associations remained after adjusting for a variety of family-related circumstances. We conclude that peer status constitutes a central aspect of children’s upbringing with important consequences for subsequent life chances, over and above the influences originating from the family.childhood; peer status; cohort; life course; outcome profiles; living conditions
Self-archiving practice and the influence of publisher policies in the social sciences
No full textAuthors in different disciplines exhibit very different behaviours on the so-called ‘green’ road to open access, i.e. self-archiving. This study looks at the self-archiving behaviour of authors publishing in leading journals in six social science disciplines. It tests the hypothesis that authors are self-archiving according to the norms of their respective disciplines rather than following self-archiving policies of publishers, and that, as a result, they are self-archiving significant numbers of publisher PDF versions. It finds significant levels of
self-archiving, as well as significant self-archiving of
the publisher PDF version, in all the disciplines
investigated. Publishers’ self-archiving policies have
no influence on author self-archiving practice
Karnavaldan büyülü gerçekçiliğe: Berci kristin çöp masallari
No full textWith her different subjects and unique style Latife Tekin is a distunguished author of Turkish literature in the years following 1980s. Having synthesized the reality and the fantasy Tekin seems to have developed a new narration technique. Latife Tekin's Berji Kristin: Tales from Garbage Hills, which was published in 1984, arouse disagreement among some critics on the genre of this work. Since the concept of "magical realism" was not commonly known in Turkish literature of this era, some critics employed unsuitable instruments to interpret Berji Kristin: Tales from the Garbage Hills. It stands out in its unique way of using language, folkloric elements, and containment of supernatural events. In this study, after discussing the arguments based on Berji Kristin: Tales from Garbage Hills, the work will be examined with regard to Bakhtin's concept of carnivalesque novel. Thus, this article will prove that Berji Kristin: Tales from Garbage Hills has carnivalesque spirit with the employment of magic, reality, and fantasy

Kristin Linklater, Freeing the Natural Voice, in Orkney
No full textThis chapter is based on an interview with Kristin Linklater, master voice teacher for over 50 years in the United States and widely known internationally. On retiring as Emerita Professor after 16 years at Columbia University in New York, Kristin returned to her island birthplace on the Mainland, Orkney, north of Scotland to set up the Kristin Linklater Voice Centre (KLVC). The KLVC opened in 2014 and has offered residential workshops for students from over 35 different countries led by Kristin and increasingly by her fellow teachers and colleagues. The interview explores practice as research, charting how her teaching has developed since her return to her birthplace, drawing students and colleagues from around world to form a workshop laboratory and ‘community of practice’ on this remote island. It highlights how a particular regional landscape, Orkney, has shaped her and how, after returning to live there after 70 years of living away, Kristin is beginning to shape Orkney. © The Author(s) 2020
