This book was released on 2002 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Privatization has become a catchword the world over, championed by some as a panacea for all ills, and branded by others as the cause behind increasing social inequalities. Education is not exempt from this loaded debate. In both developed and developing countries, for different raisons, schools are facing pressure to privatize the management and financing of education. This booklet proposes a certain number of criteria to evaluate the effectiveness of privatization policies, including efficiency and equity considerations. It weighs up the positive and negative aspects of privatization, and explores the different forms that it can take. In an area where the debate up until now has often been based more on ideology than evidence, the authors make a clear presentation of the different issues at stake for all parties concerned, in both developed and developing countries.

Book Synopsis The Causal Effect of Studying on Academic Performance by : Todd R. Stinebrickner
Download or read book The Causal Effect of Studying on Academic Performance written by Todd R. Stinebrickner and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the large amount of attention that has been paid recently to understanding the determinants of educational outcomes, knowledge of the causal effect of the most fundamental input in the education production function - students' study time and effort - has remained virtually non-existent. In this paper, we examine the causal effect of studying on grade performance using an Instrumental Variable estimator. Our approach takes advantage of a unique natural experiment and is possible because we have collected unique longitudinal data that provides detailed information about all aspects of this experiment. Important for understanding the potential impact of a wide array of education policies, the results suggest that human capital accumulation is far from predetermined at the time of college entrance.

Book Synopsis A Clinician's Handbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry by : Christopher Gillberg
Download or read book A Clinician's Handbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry written by Christopher Gillberg and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-02-09 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 2006, this authoritative clinical handbook provides a detailed overview of the main disorders encountered by child and adolescent psychiatrists in clinical practice, ranging from eating, sleep and affective disorders to substance abuse, gender identity disorder and sexual abuse. The approach is evidence based and emphasis is on good clinical practice and quality control of patient care. In contrast to other books in the field, the authors' intention is not to cover exhaustively all the relevant science, but rather to present in condensed form any research findings that are significant for clinical practice. For coherence, each chapter is constructed in the same way: introduction, definition and classification, epidemiology, the clinical picture, aetiology, treatment and outcome. The disorders covered are based on the ICD- 10 and DSM-IV classifications, and appendices include documents for assessment of intervention planning and evaluation.
Book Synopsis Achieving Justice by : Toril Aalberg
Download or read book Achieving Justice written by Toril Aalberg and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2003-03-17 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a systematic and extensive comparative analysis of public beliefs about social justice. Contrary to previous studies it attempts to link public opinion to the philosophical debate on distributive justice, but more importantly it connects the different opinion surveys with the current economic and political situation in the various countries. What can explain the cross-national variations, and if opinions do change over time, why is this so? Are people’s beliefs influenced by existing welfare practices in the country? Do different policy regimes trigger different pattern of belief among the members of society? This book should be of interest to researchers and students both in the field of Comparative Opinion Studies, but also those interested in the relationship between public opinion and the political elite.
Download or read book Voter Turnout written by Meredith Rolfe and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-13 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops and empirically tests a social theory of political participation. It overturns prior understandings of why some people (such as college-degree holders, churchgoers and citizens in national rather than local elections) vote more often than others. The book shows that the standard demographic variables are not proxies for variation in the individual costs and benefits of participation, but for systematic variation in the patterns of social ties between potential voters. Potential voters who move in larger social circles, particularly those including politicians and other mobilizing actors, have more access to the flurry of electoral activity prodding citizens to vote and increasing political discussion. Treating voting as a socially defined practice instead of as an individual choice over personal payoffs, a social theory of participation is derived from a mathematical model with behavioral foundations that is empirically calibrated and tested using multiple methods and data sources.

How were professional communities of mental health clinicians, policy-makers and researchers mobilized to respond to the emerging needs post disaster? What are the lessons learned from the work conducted after 9/11, and the implications for future disaster mental health work and preparedness efforts? Yuval Neria and his team are uniquely placed to answer these questions having been involved in modifying ongoing trials and setting up new ones in New York to address these issues straight after the attacks. No psychiatrist, mental health professional or policy-maker should be without this book.
Download or read book Time Matters written by Andrew Abbott and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2001-07-15 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do variables really tell us? When exactly do inventions occur? Why do we always miss turning points as they transpire? When does what doesn't happen mean as much, if not more, than what does? Andrew Abbott considers these fascinating questions in Time Matters, a diverse series of essays that constitutes the most extensive analysis of temporality in social science today. Ranging from abstract theoretical reflection to pointed methodological critique, Abbott demonstrates the inevitably theoretical character of any methodology. Time Matters focuses particularly on questions of time, events, and causality. Abbott grounds each essay in straightforward examinations of actual social scientific analyses. Throughout, he demonstrates the crucial assumptions we make about causes and events, about actors and interaction and about time and meaning every time we employ methods of social analysis, whether in academic disciplines, market research, public opinion polling, or even evaluation research. Turning current assumptions on their heads, Abbott not only outlines the theoretical orthodoxies of empirical social science, he sketches new alternatives, laying down foundations for a new body of social theory.

Book Synopsis Cross-National Public Opinion about Homosexuality by : Amy Adamczyk
Download or read book Cross-National Public Opinion about Homosexuality written by Amy Adamczyk and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public opinion about homosexuality varies substantially around the world. While residents in some nations have embraced gay rights as human rights, people in many other countries find homosexuality unacceptable. What creates such big differences in attitudes? This book shows that cross-national differences in opinion can be explained by the strength of democratic institutions, the level of economic development, and the religious context of the places where people live. Amy Adamczyk uses survey data from almost ninety societies, case studies of various countries, content analysis of newspaper articles, and in-depth interviews to examine how demographic and individual characteristics influence acceptance of homosexuality.
