Job quality of young adults in the USA has been eroding since the Great Recession of 2007. The intensity of job search activities are a well-established predictor of employment, yet little is known whether job search intensity is associated with the quality of subsequent secured employment. This study examined the 2013 sample of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) (N?=?1566), which follows a sample of American youth born between 1980 and 1984 and contains reliable measures of job search activities and job quality. Multivariate regression models examined whether job search activities were associated with pay, paid vacation days, full time job status, regular work schedule, and availability of a union contract, controlling for demographic factors. The results demonstrated that the number of job search activities completed was positively associated with multiple positive employment-related outcomes. Programs to assist individuals in the job search process may benefit from these results when offering strategies for successfully securing employment of a higher quality that may offer increased quality of life. 相似文献

Survival sex is associated with many health problems, including increased substance use and HIV risk. Current research on survival sex among homeless individuals has given little attention to the unique effects of how length and number of homeless episodes influence engagement in survival sex. Using secondary data analysis from the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area Drug Study (DC*MADS) (N = 783), the authors examined the relationship of days and number of times homeless to engagement in survival sex, while controlling for other sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Results showed that length of homelessness and number of homeless episodes, as well as current age, previous drug use, depression, and institutionalization, increased the odds of engaging in survival sex. Results support current efforts on interventions to transition homeless individuals into housing as rapidly as possible. Service providers assisting the homeless can affect engagement in survival sex and its associated risks through creating referral networks for integrated treatment programs for co-occurring substance use and mental health problems while advocating for early housing interventions and increased housing retention. Further research is needed regarding the ways in which length of homeless episodes affects risky behaviors such as survival sex, with a particular focus on all age groups. 相似文献

This article contributes to the literature on culture wars work by examining how anti‐evolutionists neutralize the framing of their position as religious. Their efforts are uncovered by analyzing 570 letters to the editor published in American newspapers in the months surrounding a nationally covered 2005 federal judicial decision on the legality of the Dover PA, school board's decision to undermine evolutionary theory in the classroom. Anti‐evolutionists neutralized the framing of their position as religious through the processes of selective acknowledgement and disagreement with the problematic framing. These findings provide insights into the anti‐evolutionist movement, the nature of the culture wars, and the basic ways in which problematic frames are neutralized. First, it shows how public anti‐evolutionist discourse has not followed its leaders' efforts to minimize the religious motivations of the movement. Second, the wide variety of neutralizations partially explains the persistence of many cultural disputes. Third, this study calls attention to the under theorized role of disagreement and agreement in undoing problematic definitions of the situation. 相似文献

Foster care involvement due to parental substance use is a common problem with many challenges associated with service delivery. Using administrative data from a Midwestern state between the years 2009 and 2015 (N = 17,420), this study examines characteristics of substance-abusing families at the time of entry into the foster care system and estimates the risk of reentry subsequent to reunification. Bivariate findings and survival analysis for reentry suggests substance-using parents are more likely to be involved in additional allegations associated with foster care involvement. These results highlight the need for improved services integration and coordinated delivery among service systems. 相似文献

The hierarchical model for load balancing on two machines 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Following previous work, we consider the hierarchical load balancing model on two machines of possibly different speeds. We
first focus on maximizing the minimum machine load and show that no competitive algorithm exists for this problem. We overcome
this barrier in two ways, both related to previously known models. The first one is fractional assignment, where each job
can be arbitrarily split between the machines. The second one is a semi-online model where the sum of jobs is known in advance.
We design algorithms of best possible competitive ratios for both these cases. Furthermore, we show that the combination of
the two models leads to the existence of an optimal algorithm (i.e., an algorithm of competitive ratio 1). This algorithm
is clearly optimal for the makespan minimization problem as well. For the latter problem, we consider the fractional assignment
model and design an algorithm of best possible competitive ratio for it.
This work was submitted as the M.Sc. thesis of the first author. 相似文献
