Demand and Status of a Scientific Degree in the Non-Academic Labour Market: Regional Case by O. S. Ivanchenko, V. V. Sych

“…As a result of the study it was established that: in employment a scientific degree does not give competitive advantages to the applicant; a scientific degree has no value in the non-academic labour market, does not contribute to the advancement and occupation of a higher position in the enterprise; a scientific degree and the presence of employees with a scientific degree in the staff are considered as image-building, status marker and reputation capital of the enterprise; employers have stereotypes regarding scientific employees, which are associated both with the individual organization of labour processes and the compatibility of the scientific, creative and production process; the non-academic sector lacks a human resources strategy for dealing with such employees and a system of their incentives. …”

An approach to Renaissance margins: some representations of the labyrinth on the Elizabethan stage by Sophie ALATORRE

“…Les textes de trois grands dramaturges que furent Marlowe, Peele et Shakespeare en témoignent : lorsqu’ils abordent des thèmes tels que la réclusion, l’intimité, la déviance ou les stratégies de l’oblique, l’image du labyrinthe est convoquée et permet de décrire une réalité marginale où la parole se délie et le regard critique se développe, et qui, insensiblement, se mue peu à peu vers le centre. …”
