Applying Ragin's Crisp and Fuzzy Set QCA to Large Datasets: Social Class and Educational Achievement in the National Child Development Study [PDF]
The paper explores the use of Charles Ragin's Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) in both its crisp and fuzzy set versions in the study of the relations between social class origin, sex, 'ability' and subsequent educational achievement.

The hidden burden of sleep in adolescents with idiopathic generalized epilepsy
Abstract Background Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies (IGEs) are electroclinical syndromes characterized by distinct seizure types, EEG patterns, and presumed polygenic inheritance. While seizure prognosis is often favorable, sleep disturbances, behavioral and emotional difficulties, and executive function impairment are common, especially during ...

Nonprofit Governance and Financial Stability: A Study of Government‐Funded Social Services
ABSTRACT Nonprofit social service providers are essential in delivering vital services, often with public funding. This study adopts a contingency perspective to explore the relationship between organizational governance and financial stability in publicly funded nonprofit organizations. We use a combination of comparative multilevel analysis (CMA) and
