Status Attainment in the Netherlands 1811-1941 - Study 1
No full textSocieties have distinct social structures and individuals are positioned within the structure, or hierarchy, of the society. The broad consensus within social science is that an individual's position is partially ascribed by their social background and partially by their own achievements. The relative influence of social background and personal achievement remains an empirical question. in a society where social background is relatively more important it is plausible that an individual will attain a status position that is similar to their parents. Conversely, in a society where personal achievement is more influential it is plausible that a greater degree of discrepancy between status position and social background may be observed.This study examines the extent to which macro level developments have been able to shift the relative importance of background and achievement for status attainment in the Netherlands during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The present thesis distinguishes six macro level developments that are sometimes referred to as 'modernization': industrialization, educational expansion, mass communication, mass transportation, urbanization and in-migration. For each of the developments hypotheses are derived on how they influence status attainment through marriage as well as intergenerational status attainment.The hypotheses are tested using hierarchical linear analyses. Large scale individual level datasets are augmented with contextual data on each of the macro level developments. The approach taken provides new insights in spatial and temporal variation in the status attainment process. Moreover, it allows hypotheses on 'modernization' to be tested on their home ground: in a period before and during industrialization.Data of Study 1 are not available via DANS EASY, but can be obtained via the International Institute of Social History - IISG - Amsterdam - The Netherlands.</p

This study examines the extent to which macro level developments have been able to shift the relative importance of background and achievement for status attainment in the Netherlands during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The present thesis distinguishes six macro level developments that are sometimes referred to as 'modernization': industrialization, educational expansion, mass communication, mass transportation, urbanization and in-migration.

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

Nieuwe data, ‘nieuwe’ methode?:Een sociologisch historische toepassing van multiniveau-analyse
No full textDiverse technische en methodische ontwikkelingen hebben grootschalig vergelijkend onderzoek naar historische sociale stratificatie mogelijk gemaakt. Met de kwantiteit van de onderzoekspopulatie is echter ook de diversiteit van de onderzoekspopulatie toegenomen. Aan de ene kant biedt deze variatie mogelijkheden voor onderzoek naar de invloed van contextuele kenmerken op het proces van statusverwerving. Aan de andere kant betekent het vaak dat de onderzoekseenheden uit één en dezelfde context niet onafhankelijk zijn, een belangrijke aanname bij veel gebruikte regressietechnieken. In een dergelijk geval raden statistici het gebruik van multiniveauanalyse aan. Na een beknopte uitleg van deze techniek volgt een toepassing ervan. Hierbij wordt onderzocht of het verband tussen beroepsstatus van vaders en zonen in Zeeland eind negentiende en begin twintigste eeuw verschilde tussen gemeenten en over de tijd. Tevens wordt getoetst of dergelijke verschillen samenhangen met urbanisering, migratie en religie

Horsemastership part 3: international perspectives of its therapeutic value
No full textIn previous opinion articles written by the authors, it has been proposed that horsemastership is an effective medium for therapy and education for young adults with additional needs. However, the existing research to support this proposal is informal and limited. Therefore, the first author carried out an international piece of research into the value of horsemastership to this group of people. A questionnaire using both quantitative and qualitative methods was completed by 21 professionals of various disciplines and countries who used horsemastership for therapeutic and educational purposes. This article gives a brief description of the methodology, including justification for the design selected, and discusses the relevance and implications of the results of this study. To pull together the three articles written by the authors, a final conclusion on the value of horsemastership to people with additional needs is drawn.<br/
Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers
No full textIn the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)
