La ristrutturazione digitale: una nuova sfida per i servizi pubblici per l’impiego
No full textNegli ultimi anni sono stati fatti ulteriori passi avanti nella direzione di una ristrutturazione digitale degli SPI; tuttavia, l’ammodernamento dei CPI risulta ancora in modalità patchwork, con un Centro-nord più all’avanguardia rispetto al resto dell’Italia
Il welfare del lavoro. Il ruolo dei servizi per l'impiego
No full textDa oltre un ventennio, l’Europa fa molto affidamento sulla modernizzazione delle istituzioni del mercato del lavoro spingendo ad investire sulle politiche attive e sui servizi per l’impiego. Aumentare l’occupabilità delle persone è anche una risposta alla crisi economico-finanziaria iniziata nel 2007, che rende sempre più difficile per gli Stati assicurare politiche di sostegno. In un contesto lavorativo sempre più frammentato e differenziato, quali sono le risposte intraprese dai servizi per l’impiego in Italia per rispondere alle nuove sfide emergenti? Quali sono le criticità e le opportunità dei Centri per l’impiego pubblici a cui si affiancano sempre più le Agenzie per il lavoro private e i servizi di Orientamento e Placement delle Università? Quanto pesa il contesto territoriale? La ricerca presentata ha cercato di monitorare e valutare i servizi offerti al fine di proporre soluzioni praticabili, intercettando best practices esportabili da un territorio all’altro e individuando i punti critici su cui è necessario intervenire
The Best Offer: Monitoring and Analysis of Best Practices of the Centres for Public and Private Employment and University Orientation and Placement Services
No full textThe authors consider a case where the hierarchical and market-based modes run parallel and analyse the dysfunctionality of their coexistence. Along the example of job centres of the public labour administration and private labour agencies the complementary ad-vantages are revealed. They plead for connecting both organisation structures, in order to meet the real needs of the clients who are to be consulted and placed. In particular, this article reports the first results of a survey conducted regarding Public and Private Employment Offices, and the University Orientation and Placement Services within the region of Lazio. The objective is to understand the functioning of the orientation and placement and to identify the best practices exportable from one territory to another. On a methodological level, a quality analysis was carried out through in depth interviews aimed at operators and managers of public and private employment offices. The functioning of the services in terms of: tasks performed by operators and managers, liaison with business matching between labour supply and demand, and type of contracts offered, were all analysed. To identify the best practices, the authors have monitored the services offered by the various employment centres, including universities, by comparing them with the quality standards set by “Italia Lavoro” (Italia Lavoro e Ministero del lavoro 2014). In addition, a map of exportable services from one territory to another was constructed
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
