Sheepskin Effects in the Returns to Education: Accounting for Enrolment and Completion Effects

This paper contributes to the literature by separately analysing the signalling (or sheepskin) effects of the enrolment in and the completion of vocational education and training as well as higher education. Moreover, we investigate the persistence of these sheepskin effects over time. We take advantage of the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth, which contains comprehensive information about completed and uncompleted courses and subsequent labour market outcomes. We find that signalling effects form a substantial part of the total return to education but that they vary by type of course. In addition, we show that both course attendance and course completion contribute to the overall signalling effects.Return to education, signalling effects, post-secondary education

New Trends Aimed at Increasing The Socio-Political Activity of Women in the New Uzbekistan

The article analyzes the role of women in Uzbekistan in public life, their role in our socio-political life, the attention paid to them today and the coverage of these issues in the media. It also highlights the role of women in government today and their role models for other women in our society, and how relevant these issues are today around the world. In addition, the state policy on the further formation of women in society was discussed. Not only the participation of women in the political process, but also their involvement in entrepreneurial activities, as well as measures to support them from the social point of view

Dynamics of Household Joblessness: Evidence from Australian Micro-Data 2001–2007

This paper investigates the persistence over time of living in a jobless household, aiming to disentangle the roles of state dependence and unobserved heterogeneity. In addition, the potential heterogeneity of state dependence is examined through estimation of interaction terms with the lagged household joblessness variable. Finally, the robustness of results is explored through the use of alternative definitions of household joblessness each based on different variables available in our data. Using the two definitions that are most different, we find substantial state dependence which is larger for women than for men under both definitions. That is, being in a jobless household in the previous year increases the probability of currently living in a jobless household by 7.7 to 17.2 percentage points for men and 12.7 to 25.1 percentage points for women. Although state dependence clearly is an important factor, as are a number of observed characteristics, unobserved heterogeneity also plays an importantrole for men and women: 32 to 40 per cent of the unexplained variance can be attributed to unobserved heterogeneity for men, and for women this is 42 to 46 per cent. A few characteristics (age, disability, student status, living outside of major cities, having a university degree, presence of preschool children) seem to affect the level of state dependence to some extent. However, aside from the age effect, which can increase state dependence by up to 50 per cent for men aged 60 to 64, the level of state dependence seems fairly homogenous amongst men and amongst women.Household joblessness, state dependence, unobserved heterogeneity

Problems Of Typology Of Speech Genres

types of speech genres, the fact that the speech genre and the genetically close phenomena bordering on it are considered to be relevant issues of the theory of speech genre. The classification of speech genres is one of the most discussed and complex areas of the theory of modern speech genres, there is no universally accepted typology of speech genres, except for the list of speech genres, but the rich and useful experience of typological research is very important for linguistics

The Eminence of an Incompetent Forensic Expert Versus the Innocence of the Defendant

Globally, nearly all criminal investigations revolve around one key element–forensic evidence. Technology also aids forensic investigations which help experts reach a verdict directed at the real perpetrator—the defendant or someone else. Forensic investigations are highlighted by the media as something supernatural; forensic investigators get to find out what happened at the crime scene before anyone else. As a result, general society tends to assume expert testimony to be 100% accurate. However, general society may not be aware of the fact that under Federal Rule of Evidence 702, a person may qualify to be an expert witness if he has at least some specialized knowledge that “will help the trier of fact to understand the evidence.” Given the broad scope of the expert’s directive under this rule, anyone with a basic degree in a science-related field can become an expert witness. Therefore, we run the risk of having forensic testimony based on wrong science, but which nonetheless takes over the jury’s verdict.

On projective group properties of the 6D6D pseudo-Riemannian space

We study the six-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian spaces with two time-like coordinates that admit non-homothetic infinitesimal projective transformations. The metrics are manifestly obtained and the projective group properties are determined. We also find a generic defining of projective motion in the 6-dimensional rigid h-space.Comment: 4 pages, talk presented at the "Integrable Systems-2005", Prague, 200

Relationship between the Operational Risk, Operations and Information Management in Russian Banking Sector

The paper considers the issue of operational risk management in Russian commercial banks. The correlation and regression analysis also revealed the dependence of the operational risk level on liquidity risks (current and long-term liquidity ratios) and crediting risks (the amount of overdue debt, the aggregate risk for bank insiders, and reserves for possible losses on loans and equivalent debt). It has been proved that with the growth of current and long-term liquidity ratios, overdue debts and reserves for possible losses on a loan, loan debt and its equivalent ratios, the operational risks of credit organizations in Russia grow, whereas with an increase in the aggregate risk for bank insiders (H10.1), the level of operational risks of the banking sector is reduced. The values of operational risk in the banking sector of the Russian Federation are predicted on the basis of the scenario approach for 2019-2020. As part of the pessimistic and moderate growth scenario, an increase in the level of operational risks is predicted, which makes it necessary to implement new approaches to managing this type of risk in credit institutions and introduce new methods of managing operational risk by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation
