    Fil: Todeschini, Federico. Universidad de San Andrés. Departamento de Economía; Argentina.This paper analyzes the effectiveness of a job search program using instrumental variables. The instruments used are travel time in public transport to the place where activities are done, and difference between enrollment and start of activities. In line with the literature, the intervention improves labor participation. We also see the lack of a general pattern regarding the greater or lesser immediate impacts of SORF activities. If anything, there would seem to be a certain tendency for the effects of participation to improve in the medium term. This finding goes against a significant part of the existing literature that concludes that the impact of job-search and orientation interventions tends to fade away within a few months of completing participation. In the case of SORF, the effect of participation increases six months and nine months later

    The most vulnerable ‘NEETs’ in Spain tend to come from families with the lowest levels of education.

    A number of policies aimed at tackling the problem of ‘NEETs’ (young people who are not in education, employment, or training) have been implemented throughout Europe. Miquel Àngel Alegre and Federico Todeschini assess the extent of the problem in Spain. They argue that as NEETs are a highly diverse group, it is useful to make a distinction between ‘vulnerable’ and ‘severely vulnerable’ individuals. They find that the most vulnerable NEETs are found far more frequently in families where neither parent has entered higher education, and that once young people find themselves in a NEET situation it is extremely difficult for them to escape it

    Epithelial abnormalities in cystic ovarian endometriosis

    Objective. To evaluate the prevalence of epithelial abnormalities in cystic ovarian endometriosis. Methods. In this observational study, the specimens of 388 consecutive patients undergoing a surgical procedure whose final diagnosis included cystic ovarian endometriosis were histopathologically reviewed. The prevalence and patient characteristics of cases featuring epithelial metaplasia, hyperplasia, atypia, and endometrioid carcinoma arising in endometriosis were analyzed. Results. The epithelial lining was evaluable in 339 cases. Left-sided cysts were significantly more common than right-sided ones (P < 0.0001). The observed prevalence was 12.1% for metaplasia, 9.4% for hyperplasia, 5.9% for atypia, and 4.1% for endometrioid carcinoma arising in endometriosis. Complex hyperplasia, but not simple hyperplasia or metaplasia, was significantly more common in cases with associated endometrioid carcinoma than in all other cases (P < 0.00001). A statistically significant trend for increasing age from normal epithelium to carcinoma was observed (P < 0.001). Conclusions. Epithelial abnormalities are a common finding in cystic ovarian endometriosis. Despite their clinical significance being still debated, complex hyperplasia and atypia can be associated with malignant transformation of endometriosis. Their observation in a surgical specimen, particularly in older patients, should indicate a careful examination of the entire lining of the cyst and a strict follow-up of the patient

    »It contained harbours that pleased me like sonnets«. Kleine Poetik der diegetischen Karte

    In this article, Federico Italiano explores the relationship between literature and cartography. Beginning with Stevenson’s Treasure Island, the author frames the topic through a general theoretical lens on the spatial dimension of literary texts. He then focuses on a specific phenomenon of literary "carticity"—the diegetic presence of the map, that is, the map as an integral element of the narrative structure. Among others, Italiano examines the works of Houellebecq and Cormac McCarthy
