The study investigates the importance of poor local labor market conditions in explaining the labor market behavior of married women in urban India. Using nationally representative employment data, we empirically test for the existence of a discouraged worker effect arising from either of two mechanisms: (i) unexplained gender wage gap, or (ii) degree of underemployment. A three-stage, district-level analysis of female labor market behavior was undertaken, and selectivity bias was controlled for by using censored probit in the second stage and trivariate probit with Geweke–Hajivassiliou–Keane smooth recursive simulator technique in the third stage of this multilevel framework. We find evidence that the wage gap discourages women from participating in the labor market and the prevalence of underemployment, in terms of overqualification by occupation, discourages them from exploring better job opportunities by making on-job search efforts.

Abstract This research investigates the gendered labor market consequences of immigrant social networks. Based on a nationally representative sample and using alternative analytic strategies, the present study investigates how and the extent to which informal job search, that is, finding a job through a personal contact, is associated with the earnings outcome for male and female immigrant workers in South Korea. Unlike most previous studies, it distinguishes between job contact sources: bonding and bridging. Contrary to the notion that immigrant women are ‘doubly disadvantaged’ in the labor market, findings indicate that informal job search yields lower monthly income for male workers only. In addition, significant evidence suggests that for the male subsample, securing a job through a bonding (co-ethnic) tie results in an earnings penalty. Negative income returns on using a bridging (inter-ethnic) tie, on the other hand, receive conditional empirical support.

Berdasarkan hasil penelitian pada penelitian ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa Input dalam pelaksanaan sudah sesuai dengan tuntutan masyarakat dan dukungan, proses pelaksanaan dari tahap I hingga tahap II terjadi keterlambatan penanaman satu hingga dua tahun, pelaksanaan terjadi permasalahan mulai dari pembagian lahan kepada masyarakat yang lambat oleh tim penjaringan. Kondisi lahan pada tahap I dan tahap II digolongkan baik dan produktif, namun pada kondisi lahan tahap III digolongkan gagal panen (puso) karena lahan digenangi banjir sehingga 75% tanaman mati. Outcome sudah diterima oleh masyarakat berupa hasil tahap TBS tahap I dan tahap II. Dampak dalam masyarakat terjadi perubahan dalam hal pendapatan, pemanfaatan waktu, dan kebutuhan pendidikan.</p><p><em>Kata Kunci  : Input, Proses Kebijakan, Output, Outcome, Dampak</em><em>.</em></p>

Critics have argued that Elizabeth Gaskell's first novel, Mary Barton (1848), is split by a conflict between the modes of realism and romance. But the conflict does not render the novel incoherent, because Gaskell surpasses both modes through a utopian narrative that breaks with the conflict of form and gives coherence to the whole novel. Gaskell not only depicts what Thomas Carlyle called the ‘Condition of England’ in her work but also develops, through three stages, the utopia that will redeem this condition. The first stage is romantic nostalgia, a backward glance at Eden from the countryside surrounding Manchester. The second stage occurs in Manchester, as Gaskell mixes romance with a realistic mode, tracing a utopian drive toward death. The third stage is the utopian break with romantic and realistic accounts of the Condition of England and with the inadequate preceding conceptions of utopia. This third stage transforms narrative modes and figures a new mode of production.

The first stage of this project aims to identify assessment measures which include items on voice-hearing by way of a systematic review. The second stage is the development of a brief framework of categories of positive experiences of voice hearing, using a triangulated approach, drawing on views from both professionals and people with lived experience. The third stage will involve using the framework to identify any positve aspects of voice-hearing included in the voice hearing assessments identified in stage 1.

The existential crisis of nihilism in schizophrenia has been reported since the early days of psychiatry. Taking first-person accounts concerning nihilistic experiences of both the self and the world as vantage point, we aim to develop a dynamic existential model of the pathological development of existential nihilism. Since the phenomenology of such a crisis is intrinsically subjective, we especially take the immediate and pre-reflective first-person perspective’s (FPP) experience (instead of objectified symptoms and diagnoses) of schizophrenia into consideration. The hereby developed existential model consists of 3 conceptualized stages that are nested into each other, which defines what we mean by existential. At the same time, the model intrinsically converges with the phenomenological concept of the self-world structure notable inside our existential framework. Regarding the 3 individual stages, we suggest that the onset or first stage of nihilistic pathogenesis is reflected by phenomenological solipsism, that is, a general disruption of the FPP experience. Paradigmatically, this initial disruption contains the well-known crisis of common sense in schizophrenia. The following second stage of epistemological solipsism negatively affects all possible perspectives of experience, that is, the first-, second-, and third-person perspectives of subjectivity. Therefore, within the second stage, solipsism expands from a disruption of immediate and pre-reflective experience (first stage) to a disruption of reflective experience and principal knowledge (second stage), as mirrored in abnormal epistemological limitations of principal knowledge. Finally, the experience of the annihilation of healthy self-consciousness into the ultimate collapse of the individual’s existence defines the third stage. The schizophrenic individual consequently loses her/his vital experience since the intentional structure of consciousness including any sense of reality breaks down. Such a descriptive-interpretative existential model of nihilism in schizophrenia may ultimately serve as input for future psychopathological investigations of nihilism in general, including, for instance, its manifestation in depression.
