“…Larger networks translate to greater diversity, offer access to a wide variety of capital, resources, and opportunities; and increase access to non-redundant and often times innovative information [BEGGS & AL., 1996A;ROGERS, 1995;SHRUM & BEGGS, 1997]. Contrary to expectation, level of graduate education exhibit a non-robust influence, which readily disappears when email access and use are included in the model, while place of graduate education does not play any significant role in network size determination.…”

Based on a face-to-face survey of 312 scientists from government research institutes and state universities in two Philippine locations -Los Baños, Laguna and Muñoz, Nueva Ecija -we examine how graduate training and digital factors shape the professional network of scientists at the "Global South." Results suggest that scientists prefer face-to-face interaction; there is no compelling evidence that digitally-mediated interaction will replace meaningful face-to-face interaction. What is evident is that among none face-to-face modes of communication a reordering maybe in progress.The effect of digital factors -expressed through advance hardware-software-user interaction skills -lies on network features pertaining to size, proportion of male and of core-based alters, and locational diversity. International graduate training and ascribed factors (gender and number of children) also configure the professional network of scientists -actors traditionally viewed as the epitome of rationality and objectivity. We argue that these factors influence knowledge production through a system of patronage and a culture that celebrates patrifocality. We forward the hypothesis that knowledge production at the "Global South" closely fits CALLON'S [1995] extended translation model of science.

This study investigates the status of female entrepreneurs in the Greek countryside as formed in the recent years owed to the emergence of agritourism. Agritourism has provided opportunities for additional income in localities through the utilization of knowledge of traditional customs, recipes, folk art. Women entrepreneurs in the sector often function within a context of adverse circumstances, pertaining to their multiple responsibilities at home and at work. Organization of women in producers' cooperatives has facilitated their endeavor with regard to commitment, mutual support and pooling knowledge. On the other hand, major obstacles include lack of management education and insufficient marketing of local products. Even though status of women has been upgraded to an extent due to their additional contribution to the family income, conservative stereotypes about their role remain still intact in the countryside.

“…With respect to geographical positioning, given that networks in rural settings tend to contain ties of greater intensity and density and be based more on kinship and neighbourhood solidarities rather than other types of logics (Beggs et al 1996), we also expect the integrative function to be higher in rural areas than in urban areas.…”

This article contributes to a better understanding of the social acceptance of the investment model of volunteering, that is, the view that volunteering can enhance employability through the development of professionally relevant knowledge and competences. Based on the analysis of Eurobarometer data, the article explores: (1) the prevalence of the investment model of volunteering in the EU-27 countries and the extent to which this varies between individuals with the potential to make hiring decisions (IHP) and the general population, (2) the demographic factors associated with the acceptance of this model, (3) whether national differences in the acceptance of the model are better explained by variation between countries or cross-national demographic factors and (4) whether national institutional characteristics related to the competitiveness of the national labour market, the specificity of the education system, the strength of the continuing vocational training system and cultural factors influence acceptance. The results show that the acceptance of the investment model of volunteering is relatively widespread in Europe and that variation in the acceptance of the investment model amongst the general population is driven by both individual (age and class) and between-country differences (related to the strength of training for unemployed people), but variation is more attributable to differences between countries than cross-national demographic groups. IHP, on the other hand, tend to be more homogenous in their acceptance of the investment model than the general population.
