The effect of vocational rehabilitation on the employment outcomes of disability insurance beneficiaries: new evidence from Canada
Authors: Campolieti Michele , Gunderson Morley KL , Smith Jeffrey A 
Published: May 2014

AbstractWe estimate the effects of the vocational rehabilitation (VR) program run by the Canada Pension Plan Disability Program using administrative data. Identification relies on “selection on observed variables” plus careful comparison group selection and institutional knowledge regarding sources of conditional variation in participation. We employ several matching and weighting estimators and emphasize flexible conditioning on variables suggested by theory, the institutional setup and the literature. We find modest, and imprecisely estimated, impacts on employment outcomes for men and larger, sometimes statistically significant, impacts for women. A formal sensitivity analysis finds our results are quite robust to lingering selection on unobserved variables.JEL codesI38; J08; J24

Abstract
This section includes eighty-six short original essays commissioned for the inaugural issue of TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly. Written by emerging academics, community-based writers, and senior scholars, each essay in this special issue, “Postposttranssexual: Key Concepts for a Twenty-First-Century Transgender Studies,” revolves around a particular keyword or concept. Some contributions focus on a concept central to transgender studies; others describe a term of art from another discipline or interdisciplinary area and show how it might relate to transgender studies. While far from providing a complete picture of the field, these keywords begin to elucidate a conceptual vocabulary for transgender studies. Some of the submissions offer a deep and resilient resistance to the entire project of mapping the field terminologically; some reveal yet-unrealized critical potentials for the field; some take existing terms from canonical thinkers and develop the significance for transgender studies; some offer overviews of well-known methodologies and demonstrate their applicability within transgender studies; some suggest how transgender issues play out in various fields; and some map the productive tensions between trans studies and other interdisciplines.

Broken rituals: On the disintegrative power of conflictive media events on English Wikipedia
Authors: Bilić Paško 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
The article studies the integrative social capacities of media events, as hypothesized by Daniel Dayan and Elihu Katz, to understand the transformation of media events in the network era. Media events have become increasingly deterrritorialized and performed within cultures of spatial reach across different mediated centres that transcend national borders. In the global and network age media events are performed not only as integrative, but also as disruptive and conflictive. A case study follows closely the dynamic by which the audience of English Wikipedia editors reacts to global media reports, and reorganizes information to create new event spheres based on specific internal community norms and values. Due to a conflictive event, or a disaster marathon, it was difficult for the community to integrate the available information and it experienced a series of failed performances. The event was filled with anxiety, distrust and disagreements over its nature and outcome. Nonetheless, with the affordances of networked technologies and globally dispersed community of editors, Wikipedia performed the role of an online host community of the event by creating and renegotiating a new definition and meaning of the event.
The ethnocultural film festival as media happening: French-Maghrebi film in Marseille
Authors: Stewart Michelle 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article analyses the efforts of a local film festival to bridge the cultures north and south of the Mediterranean by bringing North African film to Marseille. Marseille’s distance from national broadcast culture underscores the city as an unlikely host for an integrative media event, but allows for an examination of how the small scale of the community film festival provides an important counterpoint to the national thrust of the broadcast media event. Such festivals are non-broadcast media events. They are local, face-to-face, and immediate (i.e., live in a non-broadcast sense). They constitute a form of ‘slow media’, several days of physical presence in the theatre, focused viewing, and shared public discussion between film-makers and audiences. As such, the ethnocultural film festival is a media happening that strives to interrupt the continuous broadcast of official media events that picture the lives of minority communities in ways that run counter to their experience and understanding of them.
Beyond the blue fence: Inequalities and spatial segregation in the development of the London 2012 Olympic media event
Authors: Finlay Christopher 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article presents two cases studies of local resistance to the conscious effort of Olympics actors to use East London as representational space to produce and reinforce dominant nationalist and neo-liberal themes in the 2012 Olympic media event narrative. The blue Olympic fence, a 17.5-kilometre plywood barrier that encased the Olympic Park construction site, is used as a device in both case studies to explore the production and contestation of discourses of Olympic space. It is argued that the blue fence is both the subject and object of discourse about the purposes, values, impacts and flows of Olympics-led development. The first case study is an analysis of alternative representations of East London produced by local political leaders who found themselves on the wrong side of the blue fence and frustrated by the weak community engagement efforts of Olympic organizers. The second case study is an analysis of digital and transmedia projects and texts produced by local East London residents in response to the Olympic blue fence and the Olympic narrative it stood for.
Remaking the ‘World-Class City’: The Commonwealth Games as a media event in ‘Emerging India’
Authors: Sarkar Sreela 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article examines the Delhi Commonwealth Games as a media event that facilitated the creation of a divided ‘global city’ at a time when India is celebrated as a rising economic power. The remaking of the capital city of Delhi promised employment and inclusion for India’s subaltern majority. However, the neo-liberal state in conjunction with powerful corporations was involved in accelerated processes of land grabs that dispossessed many urban poor communities. The English-language press was a powerful force in emphasizing deadlines for urban projects and manufacturing consent for unequal modernization through the spectacle of the Games. ‘India Emerging’ was a common frame used by the international media to point to India’s economic success and to simultaneously question its ability to modernize. The international and national media played a vital role in mobilizing elite support for beautification projects while mainly remaining silent on violent processes of urban cleansing. Further, news frames focused on ‘squalor’ and ‘shame’ associated with a narrow understanding of ‘corruption’ that denied the voices of marginalized communities in the city. It is vital to locate the relationship between sports media events and stratified host cities to understand contemporary debates about contested processes of globalization.
Accounting Rules for the European Communities: A Theoretical Analysis
Authors: Biondi Yuri , Soverchia Michela 
Published: May 2014

AbstractIn the last decade, the European Union (EU) has reformed its accounting system, issuing its own conceptual framework and 18 accounting standards that draw upon the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) issued by the IPSAS Board. The aim of this article is to analyse this renewed EU accounting system that frames and shapes financial accounting and reporting of the European Communities (EC), in order to assess its capacity to “truly and fairly” represent EC economic activity as a non-business entity.The EU accounting rules are analysed from a theoretical perspective that disentangles three different accrual-based accounting representations focusing respectively on wealth (static accounting), cash flow and economic flow (dynamic accounting). Our analysis retains a modified dynamic accounting representation that fits the specific economy of public administration. This modified dynamic accounting representation is then applied to assess the representational quality of the EU accounting system. This legal-economic, normative analysis of consistency with our theoretical model is complemented and somehow corroborated by documental analysis, financial analysis and few semi-structured interviews with EU officials.Generally speaking, our analysis shows that the EU accounting system provides a consistent representation of the EC economic and financial activities, although the reference to the IPSAS has somewhat involved the application of a balance sheet accounting approach that is inconsistent with this representation. In particular, the new EU accounting system has improved on some objectives of financial accounting and reporting, such as: the economic function of redistribution related to the economic solidarity between its constituencies (Member States); the prevention of frauds concerned with transfers and financial operations; the accomplishment of intergenerational and transnational equity, through the recovery of incurred expenditures by constituencies (Member States and, indirectly, taxpayers) located in different places at different times.These findings seem relevant not only to assess the quality of accounting representation provided by the EU accounting system but also in the view of its possible influence on the European Public Sector Accounting Standards – making process launched since 2013. This process is expected to reframe and reshape EU Member States’ accounting systems in the near future.
Survey, Illustrations and Limits of Game Theory for Cyber-Physical Energy Systems
Authors: Bosetti Hadrien , Khan Sohail , Aghaie Hamid , Palensky Peter 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Cyber-physical systems integrate physical components and computational processes,
setting up reciprocal feedback loops between them.
The natural questions arising are how software processes can be integrated with the physical components in a clever way,
and which algorithmic approaches have to be considered according to the objectives pursued.
This paper presents a non-exhaustive review of game-theoretic approaches applied to cyber-physical energy systems.

Stability and convergence of the Sasaki–Ricci flow
Authors: Collins Tristan C. 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
We introduce a holomorphic sheaf

ℰ

${\mathcal{E}}$

on a Sasakian manifold S and study two new notions of stability for

ℰ

${\mathcal{E}}$

along the Sasaki–Ricci flow related to the ‘jumping up’ of the number of global holomorphic sections of

ℰ

${\mathcal{E}}$

at infinity. First, we show that if the Mabuchi K-energy is bounded below, the transverse Riemann tensor is bounded in

C
0

${C^{0}}$

along the flow, and the

C
∞

${C^{\infty}}$

closure of the Sasaki structure on S under the diffeomorphism group does not contain a Sasaki structure with strictly more global holomorphic sections of

ℰ

${\mathcal{E}}$

, then the Sasaki–Ricci flow converges exponentially fast to a Sasaki–Einstein metric. Secondly, we show that if the Futaki invariant vanishes, and the lowest positive eigenvalue of the

∂
¯

${\bar{\partial}}$

Laplacian on global sections of

ℰ

${\mathcal{E}}$

is bounded away from zero uniformly along the flow, then the Sasaki–Ricci flow converges exponentially fast to a Sasaki–Einstein metric.
On Aniconicity
Authors: Leone Massimo 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Why has semiotics focused more on iconicity and resemblance than on aniconicity and dissemblance? Can a semiotic theory of how signs, and in particular icons, tum into non-signs, be formulated? Taking as theoretical point of departure Peirce's triadic conception of signs as consisting in the relation between a representamen and an object through an interpretant, the article explores the evanescence of iconicity and resemblance through several examples of aniconicity and dissemblance: a son who cannot recognize his own father's picture because it is too old; a writer who cannot recognize his own city because it was turned into rubble by aerial bombing; a cubist painter who distorts the pictorial icon of an object so that viewers cannot recognize it; etc. Through these and more examples, the paper points out that semiotics should develop not only a cultural theory of how signs are created, but also a cultural theory of how they are dissolved.

A Tentative Analysis of the Linguistic Roots of Structuralist Literary Criticism — From a Semiotic Interdisciplinary Perspective
Authors: Zhang Lianglin 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
As a revolt against the traditional extrinsic approaches to literature, structuralist literary criticism flourished as an important literary movement in the 1950s and 1960s. However, its difficulties cannot be ignored. The failure of structuralist literary criticism can be found deeply rooted in structural linguistics. In the European tradition of semiology, structuralism is equated with semiotics, as is evidenced in Terence Hawkes’ Structuralism and Semiotics. Guided by the spirit of semiotic interdisciplinarity, the present paper makes an interdisciplinary investigation into the linguistic roots of structuralist literary criticism. First of all, the concept of “a closed system,” initially established by Ferdinand de Saussure in his Course in General Linguistics, occupies a predominant position in structuralist criticism. Secondly, structuralist literary criticism borrows the principle of digging various levels of structures from structural linguistics. Thirdly, the typical notion of relations in structural linguistics is also widely used in structuralist literary analysis. Probing into the linguistic roots of structuralist criticism helps to make clear the cause of the failure of structuralist criticism.
