Analysing Wage Formation in the South African Labour Markets: The Role of Bargaining Councils
No full textThe role of bargaining councils, the central pillar of collective bargaining in South Africa, in the formation of wages is important in the context of high unemployment rates in South Africa. In this study we find that while institutionalised collective bargaining system covered substantially more formal sector workers in 2005 (30 percent) compared to 1995 (15 percent), this still meant that less than a third of the formally employed were covered by bargaining councils
Tracking COVID 19 Total Deaths Cases and Vaccination Worldwide (up to June 2023) - A Case study
No full text<h3>Abstract</h3><p>Ever since COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, post period of 2 years and 6 months has crushed several countries, affecting more than 8 billion people of global population (June 2023) as civic menace. The connotation of this case study is to get cognizance about top most countries with maximum total COVID 19 death cases worldwide, countries that has fully vaccinated with specific percent and acquainted with the latest COVID confirmed cases in China (1,776), India (298), France (2,525), Germany (489), nil confirmed cases United States of America, Brazil, Japan, Italy, United Kingdom and Turkey, Very high reinfection in Republic of Korea (34,837), Europe (17,456), Russian federation (13,309), Very low confirmed cases less than 10 were recorded in Africa, all relative to population and chances of number of known cases doubling in the month of June, 2023 as per the Data published in CDC and WHO authentic websites. With the primary data, Death rate percent was calculated per 100,000 population with top most COVID 19 (death cases rated) affected countries like USA, Brazil and India after vaccination, the death rate percent has been reduced to (<i>0.87%</i>), (<i>0.32%</i>), (<i>0.037%</i>) respectively and realise the impact of fully vaccination which has controlled the mortality rate being the mass immunized as crucial with the addition to the standard precautions instigated during the control of post pandemic outbreak that has been raised up in this case study.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords</strong></p><p> COVID 19, WHO (World Health Organization), CDC (Centres for Disease Prevention and Control)</p>
Analysing Wage Formation in the South African Labour Market: The Role of Bargaining Councils
No full textThe role of bargaining councils, the central pillar of collective bargaining in South Africa, in the formation of wages is important in the context of high unemployment rates in South Africa. In this study we find that while institutionalised collective bargaining system covered substantially more formal sector workers in 2005 (30 percent) compared to 1995 (15 percent), this still meant that less than a third of the formally employed were covered by bargaining councils. Notwithstanding this, the overall rise in the number of workers covered by bargaining council agreements between 1995 and 2005 was driven almost primarily by the introduction of public sector councils. Thus, bargaining council coverage in the first decade of democracy is characterised by an erosion of coverage within the private sector bargaining council system on the one hand and the rapid rise of this system of bargaining in the public sector. On the other hand the descriptive data and multivariate models show therefore a significant wage premium associated with coverage under public sector councils in 2005, in excess of the large and significant union wage premium. The decline in the bargaining council system in the private sector is accompanied by declining wage premia for formal sector workers covered under private sector bargaining council agreements, with our preferred specification in 2005 indicating no significant private sector bargaining council wage premium.South Africa: bargaining system, bargaining councils, private sector, formal sector

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
