TL;DR: This research highlights a number of features of the programme itself, as well as the broader context within which it was implemented, which are likely to undermine the development of the critical thinking and empowerment which it is argued are key preconditions for programme success.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a comparative perspective to explore the ways in which institutions and networks have influenced entrepreneurial development in Russia and found that Russia's institutional environment is important in explaining its relatively low levels of entrepreneurship development, where the latter is measured in terms of both number of start-ups and existing business owners.

TL;DR: The focus group is a frequently used method in the social sciences and is particularly useful when researchers seek to discover participants' meanings and ways of understanding as discussed by the authors. But the focus group discussion should be regarded as a socially-situated communication, and the various relations this may bear towards different approaches to mass communication, together with their implications for research practice.
Abstract: The focus group is a frequently used method in the social sciences. It is particularly useful when researchers seek to discover participants' meanings and ways of understanding. In this paper we relate the history of the focus group as a research tool, from its original uses by Lazarsfeld and Merton in early communications research to its decline as social science research became more strongly quantitative and experimental. We also explore the recent revival of the focus group in audience reception studies. Contemporary uses of focus groups conducted within the critical tradition are also discussed, leading to a reappraisal of the method and its appropriateness for media and communications research. It is argued that the focus group discussion should be regarded as a socially-situated communication, and the various relations this may bear towards different approaches to mass communication are discussed, together with their implications for research practice.

TL;DR: The stylized facts surveyed in this paper shed new light on the market structure that appears composed of heterogeneous agents and poses several challenges such as the definition of price and of the time-scale, the concepts of risk and efficiency, the modeling of the markets and the learning process.
Abstract: This paper presents stylized facts concerning the spot intra-daily for- eign exchange markets. It first describes intra-daily data and proposes a set of definitions for the variables of interest. Empirical regularities of the foreign ex- change intra-daily data are then grouped under three major topics: the distribution of price changes, the process of price formation and the heterogeneous structure of the market. The stylized facts surveyed in this paper shed new light on the market structure that appears composed of heterogeneous agents. It also poses several challenges such as the definition of price and of the time-scale, the con- cepts of risk and efficiency, the modeling of the markets and the learning process.

TL;DR: In this paper, a session-by-session outcome monitoring system achieved unusually high levels of pre-to-post-treatment data completeness, with low-intensity interventions (such as guided self-help) being particularly helpful for achieving high throughput.
