Plus ça change...? Innovation and continuity in UK youth employment policy during the Great Recession
No full textIn response to rising youth unemployment in the context of the Great Recession, starting in 2010 the UK introduced numerous policy innovations in its youth transitional labour market policy, focusing especially on Active Labour Market Policies (ALMPs) and Vocational Education and Training (VET). But is the intense reform activity indicative of a significant path-shift in policy towards greater social investment, when considered against the UK's pre-crisis institutional
legacy? Focusing on key measures implemented in England between 2010 and 2015, we draw on Hall's (1993) «degrees of change» conceptual framework to analyse the content of recent policy innovations and assess their relative degree of continuity with the UK's characteristic features as a «liberal youth transitions» regime (Pohl and Walther 2007). In our view, despite significant changes in policy instrument design, the UK's policy goals and overall youth transition model exhibit striking continuity with the pre-crisis period. Concerning ALMPs, we find continued emphasis on supply-side policies encouraging young people's early labour market entry, and prioritising work experience. VET shows signs of potential paradigm change, with numerous measures seeking to significantly transform VET and the level of employer involvement. However, the degree of institutional change is limited, as evidence suggests continued employer resistance to stronger coordination mechanisms and a more active role as VET providers rather than consumers
The grotesque on Jonathan Swift`s gulliver`s travels
Get PDFLiterary works become something which cannot be a part from the environment of the author. Simply, an author often produces a literary work as the expression of his/her imagination based on his/her environment. In the world of literature, there are three literary genres: poetry, prose (short story and novel), and drama. Furthermore, this research concentrates in analyzing the novel. The author of the novel which has been chosen as the object of analysis in this research is Jonathan Swift. This research totally identifies the appearances of grotesque on Jonathan Swift`s Gulliver`s Travels. The statements of this research are: How does Jonathan Swift represent the grotesque on Gulliver`s Travels? What is the purpose of grotesque usage on Jonathan Swift`s Gulliver`s Travels? Grotesque as an art and literary term means the expression of the estranged or alienated world. It has strong affinity with the physically abnormal. In analyzing the subject of materials, this research uses the descriptive method by doing the library research or textual analysis to get the descriptive method by doing the library research or textual analysis to get the descriptive data.
The research threats the work as a unity of thought in which the elements are interrelated. As the qualitative research, this research requires theoretical base and reasoning logic. In this case, this research takes the book of Philip Thomson`s Grotesque. Then, this research finds that there are some grotesque`s elements, extravagance, disharmony, abnormality, comic and terrifying, spreads within all of four parts of Gulliver`s Travels. Here, Swift tends to represents this elements of grotesque throughout the characters in each individual parts of Gulliver`s Travels, and hence these characters look as the strange or abnormal characters physically or mentally. This research also finds that the purpose of the grotesque usage on Gulliver`s Travels is aggressiveness. This is cannot be a part with the satire of Swift to the colonialism of England in eighteenth century. As the final conclusion, this research emphasizes the relation of grotesque, satire, and the background of author (Jonathan Swift) on Gulliver`s Travels
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
