description: The main objective of this study is to carry out a critical analysis of short stories by Indian writer Premachand and Sri Lankan writer Martin Wickramasinghe to figure out how Children’s Problems are depicted. Many researchers have already been conducted on the works of Premchand and Martin Wickramasinghe separately. However, no comparative research has been found on the representation of children’s problems in their short stories. Hindi Language and Literature are taught as undergraduate subjects in Sri Lankan universities. Premachand's short stories encompass a part of such syllabi. Comparative researches on Premchand and Martin Wickramasinghe carried out in Sri Lanka or India are insufficient. Thus, another objective of the study is to widen the scope of knowledge on Premchand and Martin Wickramasinghe’s literary works. The main method of research in this study was textual analysis of Premachand’s and Martin Wickramasinghe’s short stories. In order to find out how Children’s Problems are portrayed in their short stories, the following steps have been followed, Reading Premchand’s short stories deeply, collecting data ; Reading of Martin Wickramasinghe’s Short Stories deeply, collecting data; Completing the Analysis and categorizing the data obtained; Comparing and making conclusions. Five significant short stories can be identified from Premchand, related to Children’s harassments. namely ‘Iid gaha’ (Iid Festival), ‘alagojha’ (Separation), ‘mritak Bhoj’ (alms in the funeral), ‘dudh ka dam’ ( value of Mother’s Milk) and ‘taintar’ (The girl who born after two boys). Three significant short stories discussing the same issue from the Sri Lankan writer Martin Wickramasinghe are also identified. They were ‘vinodasvadaya’ (The enjoyment), ‘Kuvenihami’(A name of a Woman) and ‘Budures’ (The Ray of Load Budhdha). One significant short story was selected from each writer related to the gentleness of Children. They were ‘budi kaki’ (The Old Grand Mother) by Premchand, and ‘Begal’ (fake) by the Martin Wickramasinghe.
Semiclassical quantization of non-Hamiltonian dynamical systems without memory

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose a new method of quantization of a wide class of dynamical systems that originates directly from the equations of motion. The method is based on the correspondence between the classical and the quantum Poisson brackets, postulated by Dirac. This correspondence applied to open (non-Hamiltonian) systems allows one to point out the way of transition from the quantum description based on the Lindblad equation to the dynamical description of their classical analogs by the equations of motion and vice versa. As the examples of using of the method we describe the procedure of the quantization of three widely considered dynamical systems: 1) the harmonic oscillator with friction, 2) the oscillator with a nonlinear damping that simulates the process of the emergence of the limit cycle, and 3) the system of two periodic rotators with a weak interaction that synchronizes their oscillations. We discuss a possible application of the method for a description of quantum fluctuations in Josephson junctions with a strong damping and for the quantization of open magnetic systems with a dissipation and a pumping.

description: Zika virus (ZIKV) has been circulating in human networks over 70 years since its first appearance in Africa, yet little is known about whether the viral 3′-terminal sequence and nonstructural (NS) protein diverged genetically from ancient ZIKV have different effects on viral replication and virulence in currently prevailing Asian lineage ZIKV. Here we show, by a reverse genetics approach using an infectious cDNA clone for a consensus sequence (Con1) of ZIKV, which represents Asian ZIKV strains, and another clone derived from the MR766 strain isolated in Uganda, Africa in 1947, that the 3′-end sequence –UUUCU-3′ homogeneously present in MR766 genome and the –GUCU-3′ sequence strictly conserved in Asian ZIKV isolates are functionally equivalent in viral replication and gene expression. By gene swapping experiments using the two infectious cDNA clones, we show that the NS1–5 proteins of MR766 enhance replication competence of ZIKV Con1. The Con1, which was less virulent than MR766, acquired severe bilateral hindlimb paralysis when its NS1–5 genes were replaced by the counterparts of MR766 in type I interferon receptor (IFNAR1)-deficient A129 mice. Moreover, MR766 NS5 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) alone also rendered the Con1 virulent, despite there being no difference in RdRp activity between MR766 and Con1 NS5 proteins. By contrast, the Con1 derivatives expressing MR766 Nsps, like Con1, did not develop severe disease in wild-type mice treated with an IFNAR1 blocking antibody. Together, our findings uncover an unprecedented role for ZIKV NS proteins in determining viral pathogenicity in immunocompromised hosts.
Deflection of light and particles by moving gravitational lenses

description: Various authors have investigated the problem of light deflection by radially moving gravitational lenses - with inconsistent results. In this paper we generalize the calculations for arbitrary lens velocities and show that, to first order in the lens velocity v, the deflection angles scales with 1-v. We discuss the seeming inconsistency of relativistic light deflection with the classical picture of moving test particles by generalizing the lens effect to test particles of arbitrary velocity, including light as a limiting case. We show that the effect of radial motion of the lens is very different for slowly moving test particles and light and that a critical test particle velocity exists for which the motion of the lens has no effect on the deflection angle to first order. An interesting and not immediately intuitive result is obtained in the limit of a highly relativistic motion of the lens towards the observer, where the deflection angle of light reduces to zero. This phenomenon is elucidated in terms of moving refractive media. Furthermore, we discuss the dragging of inertial frames in the field of a moving lens and the corresponding Lense-Thirring precession, in order to shed more light on the geometrical effects in the surroundings of a moving mass. In a second part we discuss the effect of transversal motion on the observed redshift of lensed sources. We demonstrate how a simple kinematic calculation explains the effects for arbitrary velocities of the lens and test particles. Additionally we include the transversal motion of the source and observer to show that all three velocities can be combined into an effective relative transversal velocity similar to the approach used in microlensing studies.

Subjects: classificationCode: 31
subject: Biological sciences

description: The aim of this study was to characterize the antibiotic activity associated with a cell-free extract of marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. SW21. This bacterium produces a potent antibiotic compound that inhibited the growth of sixty-one strains of bacteria and delayed the growth of ten strains of bacteria and fungi. The compound was produced, in its most robust form, in 3-day-old bacterial lawns grown on agar, and was stable at both 4°C and -20°C. Physical and chemical analyses suggest that the compound is a 75 - 100-kDa protein. These characteristics, along with the significance of the environment that Pseudoalteromonas sp. SW21 was isolated from, indicate that the antibiotic activity exhibited by the SW21 cell-free extract may be due to a new class of antibiotic with a novel mechanism of action, making the compound ideal for further drug development.

description: A project known as "Physics in Films" currently underway at UCF is designed to generate renewed interest and excitement in the standard "Physical Science" course. In the initial, developmental phase of the project the instructors selected films without regard to genre and theme. They only demanded that the selected films would cover nearly all the traditional topics of the typical "Physical Science" course. The project met with unprecedented success that motivated a rapid and more sophisticated expansion. In the current phase the authors demonstrate that the method is very flexible, accommodating the movie preferences of any instructor. The authors are developing versions of the course that have different "flavors", that is, "Physics in Films" course packages built around particular genres or themes. For example, during the 2003 summer terms we class-tested the flavors "Physics in Films: Superheroes" and "Physics in Films: Pseudoscience". Additional flavors are under development. This talk summarizes part of our experiences and presents some of the results from our courses. Overall, the method opens an effective way to help large masses to overcome science illiteracy.

description: The purpose of this research study is to uncover or synthesize strategies that professional orchestras can use to better engage with their shifting communities, and to connect this community engagement to an organizational sustainability advantage (“the hometown advantage”) for the orchestra. Only recently has the idea of sustainability through community engagement become a consideration for arts managers and researchers. A review of literature supports the notion that there is a sustainability advantage for organizations that connect with the unique cultural distinctions of their community, plan and program with authenticity and integrity, and involve and empower the locals within their community through collective ownership. An examination of five case studies extends this framework to create a more cohesive and credible set of actionable strategies for orchestras to incorporate. The conclusions of this study recommend a shift toward approaching community engagement as the co-creation of meaning-making experiences that carry shared cultural values. The findings of this research are beneficial for professional orchestras because they provide a possible strategy for navigating the contemporary issues that affect the sustainable relevance of these orchestras within the communities they serve.

description: In this paper, we consider an overlay satellite-terrestrial network (OSTN) where an opportunistically selected terrestrial internet-of-things (IoT) network assists the primary satellite communications as well as accesses the spectrum for its own communications under hybrid interference received from extra-terrestrial sources (ETSs) and terrestrial sources (TSs). Herein, the IoT network adopts power-domain multiplexing to amplify-and-forward the superposed satellite and IoT signals. Considering a unified analytical framework for shadowed-Rician fading with integer/non-integer Nakagami-\emph{m} parameter for satellite and interfering ETSs links along with the integer/non-integer Nakagami-\emph{m} fading for terrestrial IoT and interfering TSs links, we derive the outage probability (OP) of both satellite and IoT networks. Further, we derive the respective asymptotic OP expressions to reveal the diversity order of both satellite and IoT networks under the two conditions, namely when the transmit power of interferers: $(a)$ remains fixed; and $(b)$ varies proportional to the transmit powers of main satellite and IoT users. We show that the proposed OSTN with adaptive power-splitting factor benefits the IoT network while guaranteeing certain quality-of-service (QoS) of satellite network. We verify the numerical results by simulations.

description: We find that in the ferromagnetic semiconductor EuS, near its Curie temperature, a single band-edge photon generates a spin polaron (SP), whose magnetic moment approaches 20,000 Bohr magnetons. This is much larger than the supergiant photoinduced SPs in antiferromagnetic europium chalcogenides, reported previously. The larger SP in ferromagnetic EuS, and still larger expected for EuO, is explained by a larger Bohr radius of the photoexcited electron state, which encircles and polarizes a greater number of lattice spins. However, because the wave function of the photoexcited electron spreads over a greater volume, the photoexcited electron exchange interaction with individual lattice spins weakens, which makes the SP more easily quenched thermally.

description: This article reports first results of a long-term observational program aimed to study the earliest evolution of jet/disk systems in low-mass YSOs by means of VLBI observations of the 22.2 GHz water masers. We report here data for the cluster of low-mass YSOs in the Serpens molecular core and for the single object RNO~15-FIR. Towards Serpens SMM1, the most luminous sub-mm source of the Serpens cluster, the water maser emission comes from two small (< 5 AU in size) clusters of features separated by ~25 AU, having line of sight velocities strongly red-shifted (by more than 10 km/s) with respect to the LSR velocity of the molecular cloud. The two maser clusters are oriented on the sky along a direction that is approximately perpendicular to the axis of the radio continuum jet observed with the VLA towards SMM1. The spatial and velocity distribution of the maser features lead us to favor the interpretation that the maser emission is excited by interaction of the receding lobe of the jet with dense gas in the accretion disk surrounding the YSO in SMM1. Towards RNO~15-FIR, the few detected maser features have both positions and (absolute) velocities aligned along a direction that is parallel to the axis of the molecular outflow observed on much larger angular scales. In this case the maser emission likely emerges from dense, shocked molecular clumps displaced along the axis of the jet emerging from the YSO. The protostar in Serpens SMM1 is more massive than the one in RNO~15-FIR. We discuss the case where a high mass ejection rate can generate jets sufficiently powerful to sweep away from their course the densest portions of circumstellar gas. In this case, the excitation conditions for water masers might preferably occur at the interface between the jet and the accretion disk, rather than along the jet axis.

description: In today's complex and dynamic environment firm competitiveness is inevitable. This means therefore, that for better positioning and to remain ahead of rivals, firms can pursue suitable strategies especially being a cost leader. Empirical studies show that cost strategies influence competitiveness and growth of a firm (Tehrani, 2003). This study sought to determine the influence of cost strategy on the performance of manufacturing firms in Kenya. According to Porter (1995) firms that pursue cost leadership can achieve better competitive advantage leading to improved performance. Additionally, he asserts that firms are able to defend their market since lower cost can enable them earn better returns. Firms that adopt cost strategy, therefore, endeavor to lower cost in terms of production in the industry. The study utilized Porter's (1980) framework with the foundation of Dynamic capability theory by David Teece & Gary Pisano in 1994 and stakeholders theory(Harrison, Bosse & Phillips, 2010) and goal setting theory by Locke & Latham (2006). The study adopted cross sectional descriptive survey, guided by positivist philosophy. This is because the study intended to observe a phenomenon and report it as it is. The study aimed to study all large manufacturers in Kenya. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire. Through use of percentages, mean scores and standard deviation the data was described. Regression analysis was used to test the hypothesis. The study found that cost strategy had a significant influence on the performance of manufacturing firms in Kenya.

description: Measurements of the near threshold Lambda and Sigma0 production via the pp-->pK+Lambda/Sigma0 reaction at COSY--11 have shown that the Lambda/Sigma0 cross section ratio exceeds the value at high excess energies Q>=300 MeV by an order of magnitude. For a better understanding additional data have been taken between 13 MeV and 60 MeV excess energy. Within the first 20 MeV excess energy a strong decrease of the cross section ratio is observed, with a less steep decrease in the higher excess energy range. A description of the data with a parametrisation including p-Y final state interactions suggests a much smaller p-Sigma0 FSI compared to the p-Lambda system.

description: The existence of sterile neutrino is an open question in neutrino physics up to now. The method of neutrino oscillometry provides a powerful tool to test the common 3+1 sterile neutrino hypothesis, i.e. three active flavors and one sterile falvor. There are several antineutrino sources can be used for this method. One of them is the well known isotope chain of $^{144}{\rm Ce}-$$^{144}{\rm Pr}$ with initial activity around 50-100 kCi. It has compact size and might be installed either outside or inside the detector. Another one is the short-lived isotope $\rm^8Li$, which can be produced in nuclear reaction of a proton beam hitting beryllium target. The Lithium source has only the out-of-detector option due to its large size. The proposed Jinping water-based liquid scintillator detector will be used as a detection volume. Above experimental setups will allow us to cover the current best fit values of oscillation parameters with 90% C.L. At the same time, it is sensitive to the region of Neutrino-4 result.

description: In order to study the inner parts of the circumstellar material around optically faint, infrared bright objects, we present the first medium-resolution spectropolarimetric data taken in the near-infrared. In this paper we discuss Pa beta line data of GL 490, a well-known embedded massive young stellar object, and of MWC 349A and MWC 342, two optically faint stars that are proposed to be in the pre-main sequence phase of evolution. As a check on the method, the classical Be star zeta Tau, known to display line polarization changes at optical wavelengths, was observed as well. Three of our targets show a ``line effect'' across Pa beta. For zeta Tau and MWC 349A this line effect is due to depolarisation by a circumstellar electron-scattering disk. In both cases, the position angle of the polarisation is consistent with that of the larger scale disks imaged at other wavelengths, validating infrared spectropolarimetry as a means to detect flattening on small scales. The tentative detection of a rotation in the polarization position angle at Pa beta in the embedded massive young stellar object GL 490 suggests the presence of a small scale rotating accretion disk with an inner hole - similar to those recently discovered at optical wavelengths in Herbig Ae and T Tauri stars.

REPRESENTING RIVALRY ON THE EVE OF REVOLUTION: ADÉLAÏDE LABILLE-GUIARD'S PORTRAIT OF MADAME ADÉLAÏDE OF FRANCE AND ELISABETH VIGÉE-LEBRUN'S PORTRAIT OF MARIE ANTOINETTE WITH HER CHILDREN

description: My thesis places Adélaïde Labille-Guiard’s 1787 portrait of Madame Adélaïde, daughter of King Louis XV, in the context of royal power struggles on the eve of the 1789 revolution. I consider the portrait as a form of public self-fashioning, in which the patron sought to position herself as a dutiful daughter to Louis XV and thereby to remind viewers of the Bourbon dynasty’s glorious history. Exhibited in the Salon of 1787, at a moment of growing discontent with the reign of Louis XVI, the portrait helped to distance Madame Adélaïde from her nephew and his notorious Queen, Marie Antoinette, whose portrait by Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun hung in the same room. Previous interpretations of this work have interrogated the motives of the painter, emphasizing Labille-Guiard’s pursuit of influential patrons and her career ambitions. Building on those accounts, I shift focus to the role of the patron, Madame Adélaïde, in shaping this image. I construe its complex iconography as a response to Marie Antoinette’s public digressions, which included Vigée-Lebrun’s controversial portrait of the queen “en chemise,” exhibited at the Salon of 1783. I provide a close reading of Labille-Guiard’s painting and its reception vis-à-vis Vigée-Lebrun’s 1787 portrait of Marie Antoinette, which presented the Queen as mother and vessel for the continuation of the Bourbon line. Examining these female patrons’ use of large-scale Salon portraits to shape their public image, and that of the monarchy more broadly, I conclude that each woman presented herself as an ideal royal figure, and as a solution for the future direction of France at a time of burgeoning political unrest.

We consider a model which generalize the (flat) FRW one by introducing a first order inhomogeneous term, whose dynamics is induced by an effective cosmological constant. The 3-metric tensor is constituted by a dominant term, corresponding to an isotropic-like component, while the amplitude of the first order one is controlled by a ``small'' function $η(t)$. In a Universe filled with ultrarelativistic matter and a real self-interacting scalar field, we discuss the resulting dynamics, up to first order in $η$, when the scalar field performs a slow roll on a plateau of a symmetry breaking configuration and induces an effective cosmological constant. We show how the spatial distribution of the ultrarelativistic matter and of the scalar field admits an arbitrary form but nevertheless, due to the required inflationary e-folding, it cannot play a serious dynamical role in tracing the process of structures formation (via the Harrison--Zeldovic spectrum). As a consequence, this paper reinforces the idea that the inflationary scenario is incompatible with a classical origin of the large scale structures.

description: This paper examines the role of English usage in the social integration of adherents through a study of Nigerian Pentecostal Christian songs. The study adopts Societal Multilingualism as the relevant linguistic approach. This is because the concept explains the use of more than two languages by an individual, a group or society as it is the situation in Nigeria. Data for the study were collected from 20 Pentecostal Churches in Calabar, a cosmopolitan city, by means of participant observation, audio tape recording of 28 songs and unstructured interview with 40 randomly selected congregants. The collated data form the analyzable corpus. Findings indicate that English lexical items perform integrating and accommodating roles through multilingual language practices such as code mixing, code switching, interpretation and Nigerianisms. By these practices, the faithful participate actively, and reveal a deep sense of belonging, linguistic inclusion and mutual trust. The songs‟ lyrics also highlight the sensitivity to Nigerian English, and to the area‟s linguistic diversity since participants are from diverse ethnolinguistic backgrounds. These realisations emphasize the relevance of English usage in Nigerian multilingual worship settings
REPRESENTING RIVALRY ON THE EVE OF REVOLUTION: ADÉLAÏDE LABILLE-GUIARD'S PORTRAIT OF MADAME ADÉLAÏDE OF FRANCE AND ELISABETH VIGÉE-LEBRUN'S PORTRAIT OF MARIE ANTOINETTE WITH HER CHILDREN

description: My thesis places Adélaïde Labille-Guiard’s 1787 portrait of Madame Adélaïde, daughter of King Louis XV, in the context of royal power struggles on the eve of the 1789 revolution. I consider the portrait as a form of public self-fashioning, in which the patron sought to position herself as a dutiful daughter to Louis XV and thereby to remind viewers of the Bourbon dynasty’s glorious history. Exhibited in the Salon of 1787, at a moment of growing discontent with the reign of Louis XVI, the portrait helped to distance Madame Adélaïde from her nephew and his notorious Queen, Marie Antoinette, whose portrait by Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun hung in the same room. Previous interpretations of this work have interrogated the motives of the painter, emphasizing Labille-Guiard’s pursuit of influential patrons and her career ambitions. Building on those accounts, I shift focus to the role of the patron, Madame Adélaïde, in shaping this image. I construe its complex iconography as a response to Marie Antoinette’s public digressions, which included Vigée-Lebrun’s controversial portrait of the queen “en chemise,” exhibited at the Salon of 1783. I provide a close reading of Labille-Guiard’s painting and its reception vis-à-vis Vigée-Lebrun’s 1787 portrait of Marie Antoinette, which presented the Queen as mother and vessel for the continuation of the Bourbon line. Examining these female patrons’ use of large-scale Salon portraits to shape their public image, and that of the monarchy more broadly, I conclude that each woman presented herself as an ideal royal figure, and as a solution for the future direction of France at a time of burgeoning political unrest.

description: Clickbaits are online articles with deliberately designed misleading titles for luring more and more readers to open the intended web page. Clickbaits are used to tempted visitors to click on a particular link either to monetize the landing page or to spread the false news for sensationalization. The presence of clickbaits on any news aggregator portal may lead to unpleasant experience to readers. Automatic detection of clickbait headlines from news headlines has been a challenging issue for the machine learning community. A lot of methods have been proposed for preventing clickbait articles in recent past. However, the recent techniques available in detecting clickbaits are not much robust. This paper proposes a hybrid categorization technique for separating clickbait and non-clickbait articles by integrating different features, sentence structure, and clustering. During preliminary categorization, the headlines are separated using eleven features. After that, the headlines are recategorized using sentence formality, syntactic similarity measures. In the last phase, the headlines are again recategorized by applying clustering using word vector similarity based on t-Stochastic Neighbourhood Embedding (t-SNE) approach. After categorization of these headlines, machine learning models are applied to the data set to evaluate machine learning algorithms. The obtained experimental results indicate the proposed hybrid model is more robust, reliable and efficient than any individual categorization techniques for the real-world dataset we used.

The Influence of Edge Effects on Mantled Howler Monkey (Alouatta palliata) Food Resource Use and Availability in a Fragmented Forest
Creators: name: Russell, Dorian G.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Three-quarters of primate species are seeing habitat-related population declines, and nearly half of tropical forest area is in fragmented landscape. Previous research revealed challenges for mantled howler monkeys in rainforest fragments, including local extirpations. This study sought to deepen understanding of mantled howler monkey ecology in fragments by comparing food resource use and availability in edge and core zones. Mantled howler monkeys were observed at the La Suerte Biological Field Station in Costa Rica from May to August 2017 using a focal animal point sampling method incorporating food resource identifications. Habitat quality was assessed through vegetation survey plots investigating species richness, tree density, tree maturity, and canopy connectivity in edge and core zones. Time spent feeding and characteristics of feeding trees did not significantly vary in edge and core, however, forest density and canopy connectivity differences in edge and core were observed.

description: Представленное в этой книге монографическое исследование посвящено анализу категории «социальный порядок» и процессов трансформации социального порядка в современном мире. Имеющийся теоретический и эмпирический материал дает основание для вывода о том, что социальный порядок представляет собой не только упорядоченный, рационально организованный социальный мир. Он также включает в себя элементы спонтанности, хаотичности, неорганизованности. Он есть одновременно и структура, и процесс ее непрерывного реконструирования, непосредственными участниками которого являются люди, преследующие свои интересы. Особое внимание уделено процессам хаотизации современного социального порядка, драйверами которого являются глобализация, информатизация и компьютеризация, медиатизация и цифровизация. Сформулированы основные риски и вызовы, которые возникают перед социальными сообществами, вовлеченными в эти процессы. Поставлен вопрос о формах гражданского сопротивления несправедливому социальному порядку. Издание предназначено для студентов, аспирантов и преподавателей социальных дисциплин, а также лиц, интересующихся проблемами социального порядка.

description: We study the possible signals of a pion string associated with the QCD chiral phase transition in LHC Pb - Pb collision at energy $ \sqrt{s}=5.5$ TeV. In terms of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism we discuss the production and evolution of the pion string. The pion string is not topologically stable, it decays into neutral pions and sigma mesons which in turn decay into pions. Our results show that all the neutral pions from the pion string are distributed at the low momentum and the ratio of neutral to charged pions from the pion string violates the isospin symmetry. For the momentum spectra of the total pions, the signal from the sigma particle decay which is from the pion string will be affected by the large decay width of the sigma significantly.

description: We present approximation methods which lead to law of large numbers and fluctuation results for functionals of $Λ$-coalescents, both in the dust-free case and in the case with a dust component. Our focus is on the tree length (or total branch length) and the total external branch length, as well as the time to the most recent common ancestor and the size of the last merger. In the second part we discuss evolving coalescents. For certain Beta-coalescents we analyse fluctuations of a class of functionals in appropriate time scales. Finally we review results of Gufler on the representation of evolving $Λ$-coalescents in terms of the lookdown space.

description: Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel for 1984 - 1990, I analyze the entrance of young individuals into the German labor market. The experience of apprentices is compared to the experience of graduates from universities, full-time vocational schools, and secondary schools. The main findings are: apprentices experience fewer unemployment spells in the transition to their first full-time employment than non-apprentices; among apprentices those trained in large firms have the smoothest transition to employment; once employed, however, apprentices (whether they stay in their training firm or not) and non-apprentices look very similar in terms of job stability (tenure); and an estimated 70 percent of trainees leave their training firm within a 5 year period. The findings are consistent with the view that apprenticeship training generates general, portable skills rather than firm-specific skills.
