Real Wage Cyclicality of Job Stayers, Within-Company Job Movers, and Between-Company Job Movers Using the British New Earnings Survey Panel Data (NESPD) for the period 1975 to 2001 we estimate the wage cyclicality of job stayers (those remaining within single jobs in a given company), within company job movers, and between company job movers. We also examine how the proportion of internal and e...

PURPOSE To evaluate medical students' satisfaction with clinical education during medical internship and the effects of variables in the organizational domain on satisfaction. METHOD A cross-sectional descriptive analytic study in 2000 identified students' satisfaction with clinical education in medical students of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Students' satisfaction was assessed by ...

We consider brave new cochain extensions F (BG+, R) −→ F (EG+, R), where R is either a Lubin-Tate spectrum En or the related 2-periodic Morava K-theory Kn, and G is a finite group. When R is an Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectrum, in some good cases such an extension is a G-Galois extension in the sense of John Rognes, but not always faithful. We prove that for En and Kn these extensions are always fai...

Go-shop provisions have changed the way in which private equity firms execute public-company buyouts. While there has been considerable practitioner commentary on go-shops in the three years since they first appeared, this paper presents the first systematic empirical evidence on this new dealmaking technology. Contrary to the claims of prior commentators, I find that: (1) goshops yield more se...

The basic problem of homotopy theory is to classify spaces and maps between spaces, up to homotopy, by means of invariants like cohomology. In the last decade some striking progress has been made with this problem when the spaces involved are classifying spaces of compact Lie groups. For example, it has been shown, for G connected and simple, that if two self maps of BG agree in rational cohomo...

There are several computer based job classification systems for the labour domain and the purpose of which mainly is to enable search and to collect statistics. The systems typically encode information about the job, the workplace , the employer, the salary, necessary education and experience, duration, hours, need for a driving licence etc. But actual job advertisements, for example such that ...

OBJECTIVE To develop a job-exposure matrix (JEM) for occupational noise in Sweden and to estimate its validity. METHODS The JEM, developed by a group of experienced occupational hygienists, contains 321 job families with information regarding occupational noise from 1970 to 2004. The occupational noise information derives from measurements collected from different sources. The time period lab...

In an earlier paper [JMO], we gave a complete description of all homotopy classes of self maps of the classifying space BG, when G is any compact connected simple Lie group. In this paper, we extend those results to the case where G is any compact connected Lie group, but only considering self maps of BG which are rational equivalences. Most of the paper deals with self maps of the p-adic compl...
