  • Youth Perception of Public Spaces in the City

    Open AccessJurgita Jurkevičienė, Paulina BudrytėARTICLEUrban Science2025Cited by: 1References: 8

    For any urban development, the opinion of the final stakeholders is essential. However, the uncensored youth perception regarding the urban environment is rarely included in the decision-making process. Here, we present the youth’s perception of public spaces in the city. The empirical research was conducted in Kaunas, which is a typical tertiary city. That is why such results are comparable with findings from other middle-sized cities around the…

  • The gender gap in the care economy is larger in highly developed countries

    Open AccessKatharina Block, Maria I T Olsson et al.ARTICLEAmerican Psychologist2025

    Despite the growing demand for care economy employees (e.g., nurses, teachers, and social workers), men remain underrepresented in these careers. While economically developed countries support more equal rights for women and men, their labor markets are highly gender segregated (Charles, 1992, 2003). We conducted a focused investigation of this paradoxical pattern in the care economy, testing whether gender gaps in care economy career interest ar…

    Despite global commitments and efforts, a gender‐based division of paid and unpaid work persists. To identify how psychological factors, national policies, and the broader sociocultural context contribute to this inequality, we assessed parental‐leave intentions in young adults (18–30 years old) planning to have children (N = 13,942; 8,880 identified as women; 5,062 identified as men) across 37 countries that varied in parental‐leave policies and…

  • The case for a semiotic method in Earth system science

    Open AccessAlexandra Olteanu, Florian Rabitz et al.ARTICLESign Systems Studies2020Cited by: 1References: 25

    This paper sets a framework for using semiotics as an analytical method for Earth system science. It illustrates the use of such a method by analysing a dataset consisting of 32,383 abstracts of research articles pertaining to Earth system science, modelled as semantic networks. The analysis allows us to explain the epistemological advantages of this method as originating in the systems thinking common in both Earth system science and semiotics. …

  • Social Capital in Social Media Networks

    Open AccessJurgita Jurkevičienė, Eglė ButkevičienėARTICLEFilosofija. Sociologija2018

    New social media such as Facebook and Google+ are web-based communication platforms that enable socially meaningful interactions between contacts in the virtual space (Ellison et al. 2014). Studies show that new social media are particularly conducive to social capital development, as they offer its users the possibility of creating heterogeneous, extremely large electronic social networks (Hampton et al. 2011). This article presents the results …
