Trapped? Exploring the lives of young women in France and England who are labelled NEET and economically inactive

2021

International audience; Through a comparison of France and the UK, this paper analyses the position of young women who are defined as not in education, employment or training (NEET) and economically inactive (EI). Little is known about the NEET EI group and how this status shapes young people’s lives during school-to-work transition. Consequently, the NEET EI group remains a ‘hidden’ problem in many countries and impacts to a much greater extent on young women, due to their propensity to assume caring responsibilities. Despite France and the UK having very different types of policy intervention and welfare support, there are similarities between them in terms of NEET EI populations and the …

Young women’s contradictory expectations and their perceived capabilities for future work-family reconciliation in Finland

2022

This paper explores young women’s expectations on future work-family reconciliation in Finland, a Nordic country well-known for the promotion of gender equality. Utilising Sen’s capabilities approach, we content-analysed thirty individual interviews to identify differences in women’s expectations and their perceived capabilities in future work and care. The results showed that irrespective of their labour market status and educational attainment, the women’s expectations were contradictory, reflecting a current Finnish gender culture that embraces both the ideal of shared parenthood and the primacy of maternal care. Between-group differences were also found. The employed women perceived the…

Narratives and Counter-Narratives about Radicalization: Experiences of Moderation of an Online Communication Campaign

2021

This paper presents the results of a cyber-ethnographic study. The research analyzes the dynamics that make, calm and increase the radicalization narratives. This study is part of the Oltre project (ISF - DG Migration and Home Affairs, EU) which directly involved 42 Italian and second generation youths in the dissemination and moderation of an online communication campaign in order to prevent radicalized behaviors. This paper illustrates how the young “moderators” interacted each other, highlighting how counter-narratives can represent useful tools for deconstructing "complex" issues such as radicalization. Furthermore, the paper shows (using social network analysis) how on the social media…

Seven years of youth transition to work before and during the economic crisis in France

2017

International audience; The transition from school-to-work is a process structured by demand for labour, employer behaviour, public policy measures and structural employment changes. However youths experience also other temporalities, that are context related, and that take place in a given country at the beginning of their working careers. In general youths entering the labour market are overexposed to economic fluctuations (Fondeur and Minni, 2004). The aim of this paper is to identify the consequences of the 2008 financial crisis in France, by comparing the trajectories of two youth cohorts over seven years. We use labour market segmentation theory developed by Doeringer and Piore (1971)…

Towards a Contingency Framework for Engineering an Enterprise Architecture Planning Method

2007

Enterprise architecture (EA) has a key role in managing and relating business strategies and processes, information systems, and IC technologies. EA planning devises an EA plan with development steps to make necessary enhancements to the current state of the affairs in EA. Accomplishing EA planning in a systematic and efficient manner requires the availability of frameworks and methods suitable to the situation at hand. The selection and adaptation of these methodical artifacts for the use of EA planning is often quite challenging in practice. We argue that the contingency approach can help in these activities of method engineering (ME), and present a contingency framework (named here EACon…

Cadmium Metal–Organic Frameworks Based on Ditopic Triazamacrocyclic Linkers: Unusual Structural Features and Selective CO 2 Capture

2017

International audience; Two three-dimensional cadmium metal organic frameworks with general formula [Cd-2(L-1)(H2O)(3)](NO3)(0.7)(HCOO)(0.2)Br-0.1 (Cd2L1, L-1 = 1,4,7-tris(4-carboxybenzy1)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) and Cd(HL2)(H2O)(2) (CdL2, L-2 = 1,4,7-tris(3-(4-benzoate)prop-2-yn-1-yl)-1,4,7-triazacydononane) based on 1,4,7-triazacyclononane N-functionalized by different arylcarboxylic acids were prepared under solvothermal conditions and characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis and porosity measurements. The crystal structure of Cd2L1 reveals a cationic net with a bcs topology,. and nodes are constituted by dinuclear cadmium complexes, in which each cadmium atom adopts a hexacoordin…

Biodegradable Metal-Organic Framework-Based Microrobots (MOFBOTs).

2020

Microrobots and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been identified as promising carriers for drug delivery applications. While clinical applications of microrobots are limited by their low drug loading efficiencies and the poor degradability of the materials used for their fabrication, MOFs lack motility and targeted drug delivery capabilities. The combination of these two fields marks the beginning of a new era; MOF‐based small‐scale robots (MOFBOTs) for biomedical applications. Yet, biodegradability is a major hurdle in the field of micro‐ and nanoswimmers including small‐scale robots. Here, a highly integrated MOFBOT that is able to realize magnetic locomotion, drug delivery, and selec…

The emergence of liminal cyberspace : challenges for the ontological work in cybersecurity

2022

This philosophy-oriented paper examines cybersecurity and its ontological work in relation to spaces which are created by conventional perimeter security model and Zero Trust model. We argue that security works by a code of inclusion and exclusion, e.g., an individual user seeking access is either included or excluded in relation to the system. Therefore, cybersecurity divides the space through employing the code of inclusion/exclusion which directly affects the agency of users. We examine how the growing complexity of network environment makes information and cybersecurity to struggle with the simplicity of the inclusion/exclusion code. The simplified bifurcation is held by maintaining a s…

Zarządzanie funkcją środowiskową w rolnictwie - źródło nowych rent gospodarstw rolnych

2016

W Unii Europejskiej ekologizacja rolnictwa stanowi wstępny etap takiej jego transformacji, która umożliwi gospodarstwom rolnym, rozmieszczonym w różnych miejscach przestrzeni europejskiej, trwały udział w kreowaniu zielonego wzrostu. Praca jest próbą odpowiedzi na pytanie: Czy dzięki doskonaleniu zarządzania funkcją środowiskową towarowe gospodarstwa rolne regionu opolskiego mogą przygotować się do wyzwań związanych z gospodarką sieciową i zadań obecnego etapu ich modernizacji? W opracowaniu przedstawiono rolę polityki ekologicznej w definiowaniu obecnego etapu modernizacji gospodarstw rolnych, mechanizmy jej integracji z celami WPR do 2020 r. oraz strategią Europa 2020. Ustalenia te stanow…
