Unpacking (un)conscious social class bias in faculty hiring processes in Chile: PhD prestige granting university and network     

Roxana Chiappa 《Higher Education Quarterly》2023,77(4):756-773

Social class of origin is apparently an imperceptible attribute among doctorate holders seeking academic jobs. Yet, recent studies in different countries reveal that social class of origin may still be influencing the chances of PhD holders from low social class being hired at prestigious universities. Drawing from the theory of social and cultural reproduction, normative ‘fair’ academic hirings frameworks, and qualitative evidence collected in Chile, this research identifies the mechanisms that trigger (un)conscious social class bias in the stages of recruitment and selection of candidates in seven academic departments in economics and industrial engineering (46 interviews). Findings did not prove explicit classism manifestations, but practices of inclusion/exclusion of candidates based on the prestige of PhD-granting universities, and networks. These reproduce the relationship between social class and unequal chances of being connected to prestigious universities. Recommendations to address (un)conscious social class bias in academic hiring are discussed.  相似文献   

What Tahrir Square Has Done for Social Media: A 2012 Snapshot in the Struggle for Political Power in Egypt     

Ramesh Srinivasan 《The Information Society》2014,30(1):71-80

While the debate rages on the role of social media technologies in the initial days of the Egyptian revolution of 2011, a more relevant research question today is the role of social media within an increasingly contested and turbulent political sphere. This article identifies three key modes by which social media is being exploited to impact political power, and uncovers the salience of each of these through 2 years of multisited ethnographies and interviews. First, I argue that political actors across the political spectrum, from liberals to Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan), are using technologies to build wider ranging, heterogeneous, and diverse networks of supporters, expanding their base from a more historically homogeneous core support group. Second, I argue that actors are working to build bridges between older and newer media platforms, recognizing that each platform is increasingly being shaped by the other. Finally, I describe some of the ways that technology is being used by activists to subvert their competition, promoting campaigns of misinformation and hacking at the expense of others.  相似文献   

Creating value in ecosystems: Crossing the chasm between knowledge and business ecosystems   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Bart Clarysse  Mike Wright  Johan Bruneel  Aarti Mahajan 《Research Policy》2014

Policy makers take initiatives to stimulate knowledge ecosystems in technology hotspots. It is implicitly assumed that these ecosystems will lead to value networks through which the participating companies can realize a competitive advantage. Value networks refer to business ecosystems where the value proposition is offered by a group of companies which are mutually complementary. The strategy literature suggests that business ecosystems lead to competitive advantages for each of the partners in the ecosystem. Based on a unique hand-collected database of 138 innovative start-ups in the region of Flanders, we analyze the knowledge and business ecosystem and the financial support network. We find that the knowledge ecosystem is well structured and concentrated around a number of central actors while the business ecosystem is almost non-existent at the local level. Further, we find that the financial support network is almost 100% publicly backed and fails to bridge the knowledge and business ecosystem. The implications for policy makers who tend to focus on the development of local ecosystems are discussed.  相似文献

相遇信息估算概率的机会网络路由协议     

龚丁海 《科技通报》2014,(11)

在分析现有机会网络转发策略的基础上,根据Prophet和Spray and wait协议的特点提出一种相遇信息估算转发概率的机会网络路由协议(BPAS),BPAS以节点相遇的频率、相遇的连通时长和断连时长作为参量引入转发概率的计算,消息转发给转发概率大的节点,使得消息朝更靠近目的节点方向发送。仿真结果表明,BPAS协议与Epidemic协议、Prophet协议和Spray and wait协议相比,能获得更高的消息交付率和更低的通信开销,消息总转发次数更少。实验证明BPAS协议能适应于节点密度较大的机会网络环境。  相似文献

如何能够更好的提高节点定位一直都是WSN研究的重点,本文在DV-HOP定位算法的基础上,从误差精度,锚节点稳定度和反向学习选择-最小二乘估计来对节点定位的3个方面进行改进。首先在定位误差精度中引入混沌优化算法,其次在锚节点处理中引入稳定度概念,最后在未知节点定位中引入反向学习和最小二乘估计。改进后的算法在通信半径和拓扑结构两个方面进行了仿真实验,实验表明,本文算法能够有效的减少计算带来的定位误差,提高定位精度。  相似文献   

基于Noisy-or gate 和贝叶斯网络的研发项目风险评估方法     

张俊光  徐振超  贾赛可 《科技管理研究》2014,(24)

在没有充足样本数据时,为有效地管理各种风险,本文提出了一个全新的研发项目风险评估模型,这个模型主要是基于Noisy-or gate 和贝叶斯网络进行评估。该模型在贝叶斯网络节点满足构成Noisy-or gate模型的前提下,利用历史数据或专家判断得到有效的网络参数,进而推断出每一项风险因素发生的概率,结合风险影响权重得到综合风险影响值,并对比得到高风险因素,为风险管理提供依据。通过与AHP方法评估结果对比表明,该模型可以准确地评估研发项目的风险,从而提高风险管理的效率。  相似文献

王勇  丁恩杰 《科技通报》2014,(10)

无线传感器网络WSN发射功率的优化调度是决定WSN使用寿命和提高WSN性能的关键,WSN路由节点的在进行数据转发时会导致热点随机扩散,发射功率无法难以实现最大化。提出一种基于路由热点循迹修正的WSN发射功率调度算法。设计了WSN节点路由热点循迹数据传输模型,对发射功率消耗能量模型采用一个高斯衰减信道建模,采用直线反馈线性化补偿方式对路由热点的偏移轨迹进行超负荷状态评估,采用贪婪算法生成一条多分簇路由链,对路由循迹轨迹进行修正,得到WSN优化发射功率的调度递推公式,实现能耗最佳的功率优化调度。实验结果表明,采用该优化调度方法,在准确实现热点循迹修正,传输功率较传统方法稳定,波动较小,WSN可靠性和生存性增强。  相似文献   

重构强弱关系：在线社交网络中的三维关系模型及应用     

孙亮  ;戚啸艳  ;郑桂玲 《现代情报》2014,34(9):60-64

关系的概念是社会网络分析的核心,关系强度的测量建立在强弱关系理论基础之上,随着在线社交网络的发展,关系的细分更加必要,三维关系模型旨在改进静态、二元的强弱关系模式,从三个维度对关系强度进行重新构造,即心理维度、结构维度及工具维度。应用文献分析和实证分析的方法,建立了在线网络中的关系测量模型,结果表明,通过量化在线网络中用户的互动行为,可以将每个维度的关系强度归一化为 [0,1] 的连续变量,同现有方法相比,三维关系可以细分关系图谱,在设计SNS功能、隐私控制、朋友推荐及信息扩散等方面,三维关系模型无疑具有重要的理论指导作用。  相似文献
