Context:
The Foundation organised, together with the European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs and the Galician regional government, a European conference on social exclusion: a major challenge for public welfare services. The Foundation recently published a comparative study as part of the EPOC project which assesses the extent to which direct participation can humanise work while increasing profitability. The study is based on 195 personal interviews with senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries. As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also included. Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee. <t>Case Studies</t> Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community.

The context describes selecting initiatives and policies/practices related to workplace training and development for aging workers for "further in depth case study." This aligns with sense 1, which focuses on studying social units (in this case, organizational initiatives and practices) to understand what factors contribute to their success. The study examines workplace and community-based programs and their effectiveness, rather than analyzing individuals from a psychological or medical perspective (sense 2).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "case_study" is most appropriate.

The context discusses:
- A comparative study assessing direct participation and work humanization
- A portfolio of 25-30 initiatives in each national report
- These initiatives present policies and practices to improve recruitment, training, and development of aging workers
- "For each country, two or three initiatives have been selected for further in depth case study"

Now let's look at the two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=case_study%1:10:00:: - "a careful study of some social unit (as a corporation or division within a corporation) that attempts to determine what factors led to its success or failure"
   - This focuses on studying a social unit (like a corporation) to determine factors of success or failure
   - The context mentions studying initiatives/policies and practices

2. sense_key=case_study%1:04:00:: - "a detailed analysis of a person or group from a social or psychological or medical point of view"
   - This is about analyzing a person or group from social/psychological/medical perspectives

Looking at the context more carefully: "For each country, two or three initiatives have been selected for further in depth case study."

The initiatives here are policies and practices related to recruitment, training, and development of aging workers. These are more like organizational/social unit practices rather than individual person analysis.

Sense 1 seems to fit better because:
- It's about studying social units/initiatives to understand what works
- The focus is on examining policies and practices (practices of corporations/organizations)
- The study is examining success factors in workplace initiatives

Sense 2 would be more appropriate if the case study was about analyzing individual persons or groups psychologically/medically, which is not the case here.

Therefore, the best sense is sense 1 (index 1).

The phrase "national report" in this context refers to reports organized at the nation/country level across the fifteen European countries studied. The word describes something that belongs to or is applicable to an entire nation, fitting the definition "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country." Each country produced its own national report containing relevant initiatives.

finish_reason: stop

role: assistant

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context where "national" appears:

"Each <t>national</t> report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives..."

The context is about a comparative study that assessed direct participation across fifteen European countries. The passage mentions that each "national report" contains initiatives for different countries. This suggests the reports are organized by country.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country" - This is very general and broad
2. "limited to or in the interests of a particular nation" - This suggests nationalism/isolationism, which doesn't fit
3. "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country" - This fits well - a national report would be a report for/about/belonging to an entire nation
4. "owned or maintained for the public by the national government" - This is too specific to public facilities/parks
5. "inside the country" - This is similar to sense 3 but emphasizes geography/interior
6. "characteristic of or peculiar to the people of a nation" - This is about cultural traits, not applicable
7. "of or relating to nationality" - This is about nationality status, not the right meaning

Looking at the context: "Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices..."

A "national report" here clearly means a report that is at the national level - one report per country/nation. This aligns best with sense 3: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country" because the report belongs to/represents an entire nation.

Sense 1 is also possible but is more general. Sense 3 is more specific and directly applicable.

I'll go with sense 3.

The context describes a "national report" that "contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices." This is clearly a written document presenting findings about employment initiatives and policies across different countries. This matches sense 1 (report%1:10:03::) - "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group" - which explicitly includes synonyms like "study" and "written report" that align perfectly with the formal, documentary nature of what is being described.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to find the best sense for "report" in this passage.

The relevant sentence is: "Each national <t>report</t> contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community."

So we're talking about a "national report" that contains a portfolio of initiatives. It's describing policies and practices related to employment and social affairs.

Let me examine each sense:

1. **sense_key=report%1:10:03::** "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group" - synonyms: study, written report - This fits well! The context mentions this is a written document containing findings about initiatives/policies/practices.

2. **sense_key=report%1:10:01::** "the act of informing by verbal report" - This is about the act of informing, which doesn't fit. The context is about a physical document.

3. **sense_key=report%1:10:00::** "a short account of the news" - This is about news, which doesn't fit the context about a written document containing policy initiatives.

4. **sense_key=report%1:11:00::** "a sharp explosive sound" - Clearly not applicable here.

5. **sense_key=report%1:10:04::** "a written evaluation of a student's scholarship and deportment" - This is specifically about student evaluations, which doesn't match.

6. **sense_key=report%1:10:02::** "an essay (especially one written as an assignment)" - This could fit as it's a written document, but the context suggests something more formal and comprehensive (a portfolio of 25-30 initiatives).

7. **sense_key=report%1:09:00::** "the general estimation that the public has for a person" - Not applicable.

Sense 1 is the clear match here—a formal written document presenting findings about policies and practices for aging workers. The sense index is 1.

The word "contains" in this context means that each national report includes or comprises a portfolio of initiatives. This is clearly the sense of "have as a component" (sense 1), which is directly exemplified by "The record contains many old songs from the 1930's" - structurally parallel to the target sentence about a report containing a portfolio of initiatives. The focus is on what is included within the report, making "comprise" the most appropriate synonym here.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the target word "contains" to find the best sense.

Context: "Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives..."

The word "contains" here means that the national report has or includes a portfolio of initiatives within it. The report holds this portfolio.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=contain%2:42:00:: - "include or contain; have as a component" with synonyms "incorporate, comprise" and example "The record contains many old songs from the 1930's" - This seems very relevant. A report containing a portfolio means it includes it as a component.

2. sense_key=contain%2:42:13:: - "contain or hold; have within" with synonyms "hold, bear, carry" - This is also about having something within it.

3. sense_key=contain%2:41:00:: - "lessen the intensity of; temper; hold in restraint" - This is about restraint/control, not applicable here.

4. sense_key=contain%2:42:06:: - "be divisible by" - Not applicable, this is mathematical.

5. sense_key=contain%2:42:14:: - "be capable of holding or containing" with example "This box won't take all the items; The flask holds one gallon" - This is about capacity.

6. sense_key=contain%2:33:00:: - "hold back, as of a danger or an enemy; check the expansion" - Not applicable, this is about restraint in a different sense.

Between senses 1, 2, and 5:
- Sense 1 emphasizes "include or contain; have as a component" with the synonym "comprise"
- Sense 2 is "contain or hold; have within"
- Sense 5 is about capacity "be capable of holding"

The sentence "Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives" is saying that the report includes/comprises these initiatives.

The focus here is on what gets included rather than the physical capacity to hold something. Sense 1 best captures this meaning—the one emphasizing composition and inclusion—and its example about a record containing songs parallels our sentence structure perfectly.

The context shows that the initiatives "best present policies and practices," meaning they showcase or exhibit these policies and practices. This aligns with sense 1, which defines "present" as "give an exhibition of to an interested audience" with synonyms including "show," "exhibit," and "demonstrate."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to find the best sense for "present" in this passage.

The sentence is: "Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community."

In this context, "present" means to show, exhibit, or showcase these policies and practices. The initiatives "present" (display/show) the policies and practices.

Let me review the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=present%2:39:00:: | definition=give an exhibition of to an interested audience | synonyms=show, demo, exhibit, demonstrate - This could work - the initiatives showcase/show the policies and practices

2. sense_key=present%2:32:00:: | definition=bring forward and present to the mind | synonyms=represent, lay out - This is about representing or laying out information to someone's mind

3. sense_key=present%2:36:00:: | definition=perform (a play), especially on a stage | synonyms=stage, represent - About performing a play

4. sense_key=present%2:40:01:: | definition=hand over formally | synonyms=submit - About handing over

5. sense_key=present%2:42:00:: | definition=introduce | synonyms=pose - About introducing

6. sense_key=present%2:40:02:: | definition=give, especially as an honor or reward | synonyms=award - About giving as a reward
The remaining senses don't fit well. Sense 7 refers to giving a gift, sense 8 is about delivering speeches, sense 9 involves introducing people to each other, sense 10 concerns artistic portrayal, sense 11 means confronting someone with something, and sense 12 relates to formal debuts. None of these align with showcasing policies and practices in an informational context.

Sense 1 (present%2:39:00::) - meaning "give an exhibition of to an interested audience" with synonyms like show, demo, exhibit, demonstrate - captures the intended meaning most accurately. The initiatives display their policies and practices through these exhibitions. While sense 2 could work, it's less precise since "bring forward and present to the mind" doesn't convey the same demonstrative quality as "give an exhibition of."

The word "policies" in this context refers to plans of action adopted by organizations (employers and governments) regarding recruitment, training, and development of ageing workers. This aligns with sense 1: "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group." The passage discusses organizational initiatives that present both policies and practices, clearly indicating plans or courses of action rather than insurance documents (sense 3) or political argumentation (sense 2).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to understand what "policies" means here.

In the sentence: "Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present <t>policies</t> and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community."

The context is about:
- Initiatives to present policies and practices
- These are about improving recruitment, training, and development of ageing workers
- They're in the context of social affairs, European Commission, social exclusion
- These are organizational/governmental/institutional approaches

Let me look at the three senses:

1. Sense 1: "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group" - This fits well. Policies for recruitment and training are plans of action adopted by organizations.

2. Sense 2: "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government" - This is more about the reasoning/argumentation for policies, not the policies themselves.

3. Sense 3: "written contract or certificate of insurance" - This is clearly wrong. We're not talking about insurance policies here.

The word "policies" refers to courses of action or plans that organizations/governments adopt. This is sense 1: "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group."

The context makes it clear these are organizational policies about HR practices (recruitment, training, development), not insurance policies (sense 3), and not arguments rationalizing action (sense 2).

The answer is sense 1.

Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "practice" best fits the usage.

The target sentence is:
"Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and <t>practices</t> to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community."

Here, "practices" is being used in plural form to refer to specific methods or ways of doing things related to improving recruitment, training, and development of aging workers.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "a customary way of operation or behavior" - This could fit, as practices refer to customary ways of doing things. The example "it is their practice to give annual raises" shows a customary behavior.

2. "systematic training by multiple repetitions" - This doesn't fit well. The context isn't about repetitive training exercises.

3. "translating an idea into action" / praxis - This could fit. "Practices" in the context are concrete implementations of policies and ideas.

4. "the exercise of a profession" - This doesn't fit. The context is not about professional services like law or medicine.

5. "knowledge of how something is usually done" - Similar to sense 1, this refers to customary ways.

Looking at the context more carefully: "policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers" - these are specific methods, approaches, or ways of doing things. The word "practices" here refers to concrete methods or procedures that implement policies.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate: "a customary way of operation or behavior" - practices are ways that things are customarily done, methods or procedures.

Sense 3 could also work, but it's more about the translation from theory to practice in general philosophical terms.

I believe sense 1 is the best fit because it refers to established ways of doing things (practices), which is what the passage is describing - various initiatives showing different methods/practices for improving worker development.

The target word "improve" is used transitively in this context: "policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development." The structure shows a direct object (the recruitment, training and development) being made better, which corresponds to the transitive sense "to make better" (similar to the example "The editor improved the manuscript with his changes"). The second sense is intransitive and would not take a direct object.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "improve" is being used.

The target word is "improve" in the phrase: "initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers"

Looking at the two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=improve%2:30:01:: | definition=to make better | synonyms=better, amend, ameliorate, meliorate | examples=The editor improved the manuscript with his changes
   - This is a transitive verb meaning "to make something better"
   - The example shows the editor (agent) improving the manuscript (object)

2. sense_key=improve%2:30:00:: | definition=get better | synonyms=better, ameliorate, meliorate | examples=The weather improved toward evening
   - This is an intransitive verb meaning "to become better"
   - The example shows the weather becoming better on its own

In the context sentence, "improve the recruitment, training and development" - here "improve" has a direct object ("the recruitment, training and development"). This is clearly a transitive construction where something is being made better.

The structure is: "policies and practices to improve [the recruitment, training and development]"

This matches the first sense (improve%2:30:01::) which is the transitive verb "to make better" with an object.

The second sense (improve%2:30:00::) is intransitive and wouldn't take a direct object like this.

The answer should be sense 1, which would be indexed as 1.

The context clearly refers to professional development activities designed to improve worker capabilities in the workplace. The phrase "recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community" indicates an activity that leads to skilled behavior, which matches sense 1. Sense 2 (good upbringing/breeding) is inappropriate in this workplace policy context.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "training" in this passage.

The sentence is: "Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community."

The context discusses initiatives that improve recruitment, training, and development of aging workers. This is clearly in a workplace/professional development context.

Let me examine the two candidate senses:

1. Sense 1: "activity leading to skilled behavior" | synonyms: preparation, grooming
   - This refers to the process of teaching or developing skills and competencies
   - This fits the context of improving worker capabilities

2. Sense 2: "the result of good upbringing (especially knowledge of correct social behavior)" | synonyms: education, breeding
   - This refers to the result of proper upbringing and social education
   - This is more about etiquette and social behavior
   - The examples mention "a woman of breeding and refinement"

In the context of the passage, "training" refers to professional development activities designed to improve the skills of aging workers in the workplace. This is clearly about the activity or process of skill development (sense 1), not about social upbringing or breeding (sense 2).

The answer should be sense 1.

The context describes "policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers." In this usage, "development" refers to the act of improving and refining workers' skills and capabilities through training and workplace practices. This aligns with sense 1's definition of "act of improving by expanding or enlarging or refining," where the focus is on enhancing workers' professional abilities and growth.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the target word "development" in the sentence:

"Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community."

The context is about improving:
- recruitment of ageing workers
- training of ageing workers
- development of ageing workers

This is about improving the capabilities, skills, and progress of workers as they age. We're talking about making improvements to workers themselves, their abilities, their career progression.

Let me look at each sense:

1. sense_key=development%1:04:01:: - "act of improving by expanding or enlarging or refining" - This could fit, as it's about improving/refining workers
2. sense_key=development%1:22:02:: - "a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage" - This could also fit, describing the process of workers progressing to more advanced stages
3. sense_key=development%1:22:01:: - "(biology) the process of an individual organism growing organically" - This is specifically biological growth, not quite right
4. sense_key=development%1:11:01:: - "a recent event that has some relevance" - This doesn't fit, not about events
5. sense_key=development%1:04:02:: - "the act of making some area of land or water more profitable" - Not about land/water, about people
6. sense_key=development%1:15:00:: - "a district that has been developed" - Not about a district
7. sense_key=development%1:26:00:: - "a state in which things are improving" - Could fit
8. sense_key=development%1:22:00:: - "processing a photosensitive material" - Not relevant
9. sense_key=development%1:10:00:: - "(music) the section of a composition" - Not relevant
10. sense_key=development%1:22:03:: - "a recent event that has some relevance" - Not relevant

Between the two strongest candidates, sense 1 captures the core meaning here—the act of improving and refining workers' capabilities through structured programs. While sense 2 describes progression through stages, sense 1 more directly aligns with the active improvement of workers' skills and abilities in the context of training initiatives.

The context clearly refers to "ageing workers" in the workplace setting, discussing their recruitment, training, and development. This refers to people who work at specific occupations, which is sense 1. The passage is about employment and workplace practices, not about class ideology (sense 2), insects (sense 3), or action-oriented individuals in general (sense 4).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context of "workers" in this passage.

The sentence is: "Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community."

The context is about:
- Recruitment, training, and development
- Work place
- These are clearly people employed in jobs

Now let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "a person who works at a specific occupation" - This fits. Workers are people who work at specific occupations, and the context is about recruitment, training, and development in the workplace.

2. "a member of the working class (not necessarily employed)" - This is more ideological/sociological, emphasizing class distinction. The example "workers of the world--unite!" is political. While technically could apply, it's not the best fit.

3. "sterile member of a colony of social insects" - This is clearly about insects (ants, bees, etc.), not applicable here.

4. "a person who acts and gets things done" - This is about someone who is action-oriented and gets results. This could potentially apply, but it's a more abstract/colloquial sense.

Given the context about workplace recruitment, training, and development, sense 1 is clearly the best fit. The passage is talking about actual people employed in jobs/occupations, specifically "ageing workers" who are being recruited and trained in the workplace.

The answer should be: {"sense_index": 1}

Let me analyze the context for the word "community" in this text.

The sentence reads: "...policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community."

The text is discussing initiatives and policies related to employment, training, and development of older workers. It mentions these initiatives happen in both "the work place and the community."

Now let me examine each sense:

1. "a group of people living in a particular local area" - This refers to a local area/neighborhood where people live. This could fit if we're talking about the local community around a workplace.

2. "common ownership" - This doesn't fit the context at all.

3. "a group of nations having common interests" - This doesn't fit. The context is about local/national employment and worker development.

4. "agreement as to goals" / "community of interests" - This doesn't fit the context. It's not referring to a shared interest.

5. "a district where people live; occupied primarily by private residences" - This is similar to sense 1, a residential district/neighborhood.

6. "(ecology) a group of interdependent organisms" - This is a biological term, clearly doesn't fit.

The most likely candidates are senses 1 and 5, which are closely related - both refer to a local area where people live.

Given the context of "in both the work place and the community," it seems to be referring to the local area/neighborhood where people live, as opposed to the workplace. This is the most common use of "community" to mean the local area inhabited by people.

Sense 1 is the most general and fits best: "a group of people living in a particular local area"

This sense captures the idea that initiatives for training and development of ageing workers should happen both in the workplace and in the community (the broader local area where people live).

The answer should be sense 1.

The context discusses a comparative study across "fifteen European countries" where initiatives are analyzed for each nation. The phrase "for each country, two or three initiatives have been selected" refers to the different geographical territories of European nations where policies and practices are being studied. This matches sense 2, which defines country as "the territory occupied by a nation," as evidenced by the example "he visited several European countries."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "country" here.

The sentence states: "For each country, two or three initiatives have been selected for further in depth case study."

The context is about a comparative study across fifteen European countries involving interviews with social partners and analysis of initiatives in different nations. The document discusses policies and practices in different European nations.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. sense_key=country%1:14:00:: - "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - This refers to the nation-state as a political entity.

2. sense_key=country%1:15:00:: - "the territory occupied by a nation" - This refers to the geographical territory.

3. sense_key=country%1:14:01:: - "the people who live in a nation or country" - This refers to the population/nation of people.

4. sense_key=country%1:15:01:: - "an area outside of cities and towns" - This refers to rural areas. This doesn't fit at all.

5. sense_key=country%1:15:02:: - "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary" - This is too vague and doesn't fit the context.

In the context: "For each country, two or three initiatives have been selected..."

The passage discusses studies across "fifteen European countries" with "national level peak organisations" and policies in different nations. When they say "for each country," they're referring to each nation/state in Europe.

This could be either:
- Sense 1: The nation as a political entity (state)
- Sense 2: The territory occupied by a nation
- Sense 3: The people who live in a nation

Given the context mentions "fifteen European countries" and discusses "national level peak organisations," the most natural interpretation is sense 2 - "the territory occupied by a nation" - because we're talking about conducting studies in different nations across Europe.

Both sense 1 and sense 2 fit well in this administrative and policy context. However, sense 2 remains the most fitting interpretation—the geographical territories of European nations where these comparative studies are being conducted.

The Foundation recently published a comparative study as part of the EPOC project which assesses the extent to which direct participation can humanise work while increasing profitability. The study is based on 195 personal interviews with senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries. As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also included. Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee. Case Studies Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community. For each country, two or three initiatives have been selected for further in depth <t>case study</t>. These case studies analysed the background of the initiatives, their impact on employment patterns and work organisations and assessed the benefits and problems of the initiative.

The context describes case studies of organizational initiatives (policies and practices for aging workers), analyzing their backgrounds, impact on employment and work organizations, and assessing benefits and problems. This aligns with sense 1, which defines case study as examining a social unit to determine factors of success or failure, rather than sense 2, which focuses on analyzing individuals from a psychological or medical perspective.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "case study" is being used.

The context discusses:
- A comparative study by the Foundation as part of the EPOC project
- Assessment of direct participation and work humanization
- Study based on 195 personal interviews with senior officials
- Various countries and sectors included
- The passage then mentions "Case Studies" and describes selecting "two or three initiatives have been selected for further in depth case study"
- These case studies "analysed the background of the initiatives, their impact on employment patterns and work organisations and assessed the benefits and problems of the initiative"

Now let me consider the two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=case_study%1:10:00:: | definition=a careful study of some social unit (as a corporation or division within a corporation) that attempts to determine what factors led to its success or failure
   - This refers to studying a social unit (like a corporation or organizational division)
   - Focuses on determining factors of success or failure

2. sense_key=case_study%1:04:00:: | definition=a detailed analysis of a person or group from a social or psychological or medical point of view
   - This refers to analyzing a person or group
   - From social, psychological, or medical perspectives

In this context, the case studies are examining "initiatives" (policies and practices for improving recruitment, training and development of aging workers). These initiatives are organizational/policy efforts, not individual persons. The case studies analyze:
- Background of the initiatives
- Impact on employment patterns and work organizations
- Benefits and problems of the initiative

This fits better with sense 1, which deals with studying social units and organizational initiatives to understand what made them succeed or fail. Sense 2 is more about analyzing individual persons or groups from a psychological/medical point of view, which doesn't fit this context well.
The initiatives being examined are organizational efforts rather than individual subjects, and the analysis focuses on organizational impact and success factors, making sense 1 the correct choice.

The context describes case studies of initiatives analyzing "the background of the initiatives, their impact on employment patterns and work organisations and assessed the benefits and problems of the initiative." This aligns with Sense 1, which defines case study as a careful study of a social unit (here, policy and practice initiatives) to determine factors contributing to success or failure. The focus is on organizational/programmatic analysis rather than on analyzing individual persons or groups from psychological/medical perspectives, which would be Sense 2.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "case study" is being used.

The target surface form is "case studies" in the context of a study about employment and training of aging workers across European countries.

Looking at the context:
- The passage discusses national reports containing initiatives about recruitment, training, and development of ageing workers
- Two or three initiatives per country were selected for further in-depth case study
- The case studies "analysed the background of the initiatives, their impact on employment patterns and work organisations and assessed the benefits and problems of the initiative"

Now let me examine the two candidate senses:

Sense 1: "a careful study of some social unit (as a corporation or division within a corporation) that attempts to determine what factors led to its success or failure"
- This focuses on studying a social unit/organization to determine success/failure factors
- The context mentions studying initiatives and their impacts on employment patterns, benefits and problems

Sense 2: "a detailed analysis of a person or group from a social or psychological or medical point of view"
- This focuses on analyzing a person or group from social/psychological/medical perspectives

In the given context, the case studies are analyzing initiatives (policy and practice implementations), their backgrounds, impacts on employment patterns, work organizations, and assessing benefits and problems. This is more about studying the initiatives/programs themselves (which could be considered social units or organizational initiatives) to understand their success, impact, and effectiveness.

This better matches Sense 1, which talks about studying social units to determine what factors led to success or failure. The initiatives being studied are essentially organizational/social programs being analyzed for their outcomes and impacts.

Sense 2 (analyzing persons or groups from psychological/social/medical perspectives) doesn't fit as well because the focus is on initiatives and programs, not on individual persons or groups from those specific perspectives.

The answer should be sense 1.

The verb "analysed" in this context refers to examining the case studies in detail to understand their essential features and meaning—specifically the background of initiatives, their impacts on employment patterns, and their benefits and problems. This matches sense 1: "consider in detail and subject to an analysis in order to discover essential features or meaning." The other senses are either too technical (sense 3, involving mathematical or chemical analysis) or irrelevant (sense 4, psychoanalysis; sense 2, which is less general).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "analysed" is being used.

The sentence states: "These case studies analysed the background of the initiatives, their impact on employment patterns and work organisations and assessed the benefits and problems of the initiative."

The case studies examined:
1. The background of the initiatives
2. Their impact on employment patterns and work organisations
3. The benefits and problems of the initiative

Looking at the four candidate senses:

1. sense_key=analyse%2:31:00:: - "consider in detail and subject to an analysis in order to discover essential features or meaning" - This is about examining something in detail to understand its essential features or meaning. Examples: analyze a sonnet, analyze evidence in a trial.

2. sense_key=analyse%2:31:04:: - "break down into components or essential features" - This is specifically about breaking something down. Example: analyze today's financial market.

3. sense_key=analyse%2:31:01:: - "make a mathematical, chemical, or grammatical analysis of; break down into components or essential features" - This is about technical/formal analysis. Examples: analyze a specimen, analyze a sentence.

4. sense_key=analyse%2:31:02:: - "subject to psychoanalytic treatment" - This is about psychoanalysis, which doesn't fit the context at all.

In the context, the case studies "analysed the background of the initiatives" and their impacts. This is about examining and studying something in detail to understand its features and meaning, not necessarily breaking it down into technical components or treating it with psychoanalysis.

Sense 1 seems the most appropriate - it's about considering something in detail and subjecting it to analysis to discover essential features or meaning. This matches the context where the case studies examined the background, impact, and benefits/problems of initiatives.

Sense 3 is more technical/formal, focusing on mathematical, chemical, or grammatical analysis, which doesn't seem to fit as well.
The first sense best captures what's happening in the passage.

The target word "background" in this context refers to essential contextual information needed to understand the initiatives. The sentence indicates that case studies examined "the background of the initiatives" as foundational information necessary for understanding their characteristics, impacts, and outcomes. This matches sense 3: "information that is essential to understanding a situation or problem" with synonyms "background knowledge."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context where "background" appears in the sentence:

"These case studies analysed the background of the initiatives, their impact on employment patterns and work organisations and assessed the benefits and problems of the initiative."

Here, "background" refers to the contextual information, history, or foundational circumstances of the initiatives. The sentence is saying that case studies examined:
1. The background of the initiatives (what led to them, their context)
2. Their impact on employment patterns and work organisations
3. The benefits and problems

Let me check each sense:

1. sense_key=background%1:07:00:: - "a person's social heritage: previous experience or training" - This is about personal background, not applicable here
2. sense_key=background%1:09:00:: - "the part of a scene (or picture) that lies behind objects in the foreground" - This is visual/pictorial, not applicable
3. sense_key=background%1:09:01:: - "information that is essential to understanding a situation or problem" - This fits! The background of the initiatives is the essential information needed to understand them
4. sense_key=background%1:11:00:: - "extraneous signals that can be confused with the phenomenon to be observed" - Not applicable
5. sense_key=background%1:11:01:: - "relatively unimportant or inconspicuous accompanying situation" - This could fit partially but not as well
6. sense_key=background%1:26:00:: - "the state of the environment in which a situation exists" - This could fit, it's about the context/setting
7. sense_key=background%1:06:01:: - computer science term, not applicable
8. sense_key=background%1:06:00:: - stage scenery, not applicable
9. Sense 3 best captures the meaning here—the essential contextual information needed to comprehend the initiatives. The sense_index is 3.

The context discusses how initiatives "impact on employment patterns and work organisations," referring to the effects or consequences of these initiatives. This aligns with sense 2 (a forceful consequence; a strong effect), which is exemplified by phrases like "the book had an important impact on my thinking." The sentence is describing the consequence or influence of the initiatives on employment, making this the most appropriate sense.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "impact" is most appropriate.

The sentence reads: "These case studies analysed the background of the initiatives, their impact on employment patterns and work organisations and assessed the benefits and problems of the initiative."

In this context, "impact" refers to the effect or influence that these initiatives have on employment patterns and work organizations. Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=impact%1:11:00:: | definition=the striking of one body against another
   - This is the physical collision sense. Not applicable here.

2. sense_key=impact%1:19:00:: | definition=a forceful consequence; a strong effect | synonyms=wallop | examples=the book had an important impact on my thinking; the book packs a wallop
   - This fits well. The initiatives have an effect/consequence on employment patterns and work organizations.

3. sense_key=impact%1:04:00:: | definition=influencing strongly | synonyms=impingement, encroachment | examples=they resented the impingement of American values on European culture
   - This also seems relevant. The initiatives influence employment patterns.

4. sense_key=impact%1:04:01:: | definition=the violent interaction of individuals or groups entering into combat | synonyms=shock | examples=the armies met in the shock of battle
   - This is clearly not applicable; there's no combat or conflict involved.

Between senses 2 and 3:
- Sense 2: "a forceful consequence; a strong effect" - focuses on the result/consequence
- Sense 3: "influencing strongly" - focuses on the action of influencing

The context is about how initiatives affect employment patterns and work organizations. The phrase "impact on employment patterns" suggests we're talking about the effect or consequence of the initiatives, not just the action of influencing. Sense 2 is the better choice as it emphasizes the consequence/effect, which matches the usage in the sentence better.

The target word is "employment" used in the phrase "their impact on employment patterns and work organisations".

Let me analyze the context:
- The text discusses initiatives to improve recruitment, training and development of aging workers
- It mentions analyzing "the background of the initiatives, their impact on employment patterns and work organisations"
- This is about policies and practices in the workplace

Now let me examine each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=employment%1:26:00:: - "the state of being employed or having a job" - This refers to the condition of having employment.

2. sense_key=employment%1:04:00:: - "the occupation for which you are paid" - This is similar to work.

3. sense_key=employment%1:04:02:: - "the act of giving someone a job" - This is the hiring/engagement action.

4. sense_key=employment%1:04:01:: - "the act of using" - This refers to use/usage.

In the context "their impact on employment patterns and work organisations", the word "employment" refers to patterns related to people being employed or having jobs. It's describing employment patterns - how employment is structured, who is employed, etc.

This best fits sense 1: "the state of being employed or having a job" because "employment patterns" would refer to patterns of employment status and job situations.

The answer should be 1.
