    How to use the dataset

    This dataset is a great resource for those looking to find an optimal work solution based on keywords, location and time parameters. With this information, users can quickly and easily search through job offers that best fit their needs. Here are some tips on how to use this dataset to its fullest potential:

    • Start by identifying what type of job offer you want to find. The keyword column will help you narrow down your search by allowing you to search for job postings that contain the word or phrase you are looking for.

    • Next, consider where the job is located – the Location column tells you where in the world each posting is from so make sure it’s somewhere that suits your needs!

    • Finally, consider when the position is available – look at the Time frame column which gives an indication of when each posting was made as well as if it’s a full-time/ part-time role or even if it’s a casual/temporary position from day one so make sure it meets your requirements first before applying!

    • Additionally, if details such as hours per week or further schedule information are important criteria then there is also info provided under Horari and Temps Oferta columns too! Now that all three criteria have been ticked off - key words, location and time frame - then take a look at Empresa (Company Name) and Nom_Oferta (Post Name) columns too in order to get an idea of who will be employing you should you land the gig!

      All these pieces of data put together should give any motivated individual all they need in order to seek out an optimal work solution - keep hunting good luck!

    Research Ideas

    • Machine learning can be used to groups job offers in order to facilitate the identification of similarities and differences between them. This could allow users to specifically target their search for a work solution.
    • The data can be used to compare job offerings across different areas or types of jobs, enabling users to make better informed decisions in terms of their career options and goals.
    • It may also provide an insight into the local job market, enabling companies and employers to identify where there is potential for new opportunities or possible trends that simply may have previously gone unnoticed

    Description

    Access to information (ATI) policies are often praised for strengthening transparency, accountability, and trust in public institutions, yet evidence that they improve institutional performance is mixed. We argue that an important impediment to the effective operation of such policies is the failure of bureaucrats to comply with information requests that could expose poor performance. Analyzing a new dataset on the performance of approximately 20,000 aid projects financed by 12 donor agencies in 183 countries, we find that enforcement matters: the adoption of ATI policies by agencies is associated with better project outcomes when these policies include independent appeals processes for denied information requests but with no improvement when they do not. We also recover evidence that project staff adjust their behavior in anticipation of ATI appeals, and that the performance dividends of appeals processes increase when bottom-up collective action is easier and mechanisms of project oversight are weak.

    Description

    The fact that Internet companies may record our personal data and track our online behavior for commercial or political purpose has emphasized aspects related to online privacy. This has also led to the development of search engines that promise no tracking and privacy. Search engines also have a major role in spreading low-quality health information such as that of anti-vaccine websites. This study investigates the relationship between search engines' approach to privacy and the scientific quality of the information they return. We analyzed the first 30 webpages returned searching “vaccines autism” in English, Spanish, Italian, and French. The results show that not only “alternative” search engines (Duckduckgo, Ecosia, Qwant, Swisscows, and Mojeek) but also other commercial engines (Bing, Yahoo) often return more anti-vaccine pages (10–53%) than Google.com (0%). Some localized versions of Google, however, returned more anti-vaccine webpages (up to 10%) than Google.com. Health information returned by search engines has an impact on public health and, specifically, in the acceptance of vaccines. The issue of information quality when seeking information for making health-related decisions also impact the ethical aspect represented by the right to an informed consent. Our study suggests that designing a search engine that is privacy savvy and avoids issues with filter bubbles that can result from user-tracking is necessary but insufficient; instead, mechanisms should be developed to test search engines from the perspective of information quality (particularly for health-related webpages) before they can be deemed trustworthy providers of public health information.
