This paper introduces the "Gendercheck Editor", a tool to check German texts for gender discriminatory formulations. It relays on shallow rule-based techniques as used in the Controlled Language Authoring Technology (CLAT). The paper outlines major sources of gender imbalances in German texts. It gives a background on the underlying CLAT technology and describes the marking and annotation strategy to automatically detect and visualize the questionable pieces of text. The paper provides a detailed evaluation of the editor.
A competitive hospital environment can effectively demote leave-taking medical employees in their jobs. Despite sufficient financial arrangements high-commitment staff will only take parental leave of adequate length when an institutional framework protects their status. Data support four requirements: 1. Formal recognition of the leave taker's status pre-leave. 2. Establishment of a written ("claimable") return policy. 3. Substitution scheme for each individual, preferably by a locum. 4. Redirection of funds to facilitate part-time work schemes temporarily after return.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
