Cheap Learning
Open AccessLeonardo Castro-González, Yi-Ling Chung et al.ARTICLESociological Methods & Research2025References: 99
The field of machine learning has recently made significant progress in reducing the requirements for labeled training data when building new models. These 'cheaper' learning techniques hold significant potential for the social sciences, where development of large labeled training datasets is often a significant practical impediment. In this article we review three 'cheap' techniques that have developed in recent years: Weak supervision, transfer…
How Do Combinations of Transition Activities Available to Children and Families Predict Successful Kindergarten Transitions
Open AccessKyle Demeo Cook, Stacy Ehrlich Loewe et al.ARTICLEEarly Education and Development2024
Research Findings: The transition to kindergarten can be challenging for children and families.

In the wake of the Dobbs decision withdrawing federal constitutional protection for reproductive rights, the United States is in the throes of federalist conflicts.

Econationalism in Soviet literature
Nikolai M Dronin, John Francis et al.ARTICLEThe Soviet and Post-Soviet Review2017References: 2
Literature was a significant vehicle for ecological thinking in the post-World War ii Soviet Union. In early 1950 a group of Russian writers known as ‘villagers’ advanced environmental themes, equating preservation of the environment in the face of frenzied industrialization and modernization with the preservation of Russian culture itself. The work of the villagers – so known for their focus on the history and condition of the Russian village – …
David Cameron and Conservative Renewal
Gillian Peele, John FrancisEDITORBOOKDavid Cameron and Conservative…2016
The book explores the process of rebuilding the Conservative Party under David Cameron’s leadership since 2005. It argues that Cameron’s strategy was wide-ranging and multi-faceted and that it evolved through several stages from a coherent programme of explicit modernisation into a more diffuse set of reforms. This development was partly a result of changed thinking within the Party and partly because of the pressure of external events, especiall…
