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 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. Visits and interviews with key personnel were also undertaken. These national studies will form the basis of a European <t>report</t> which synthesises overall practices. The report and a casebook of initiatives will be published in 1996 and provide the backdrop for a conference to be staged in Autumn, 1996.

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `overall%5:00:00:general:00`: involving only main features (e.g., "the overall pattern of his life")
        2.  `overall%5:00:00:gross:00`: including everything (e.g., "the overall cost")

    *   The sentence is: "These national studies will form the basis of a European report which synthesises overall practices."
    *   The report is based on national studies (portfolios of initiatives).
    *   The goal is to "synthesise overall practices."
    *   "Synthesise" means to combine various elements into a coherent whole.
    *   "Overall practices" here refers to the general patterns, commonalities, or the broad picture derived from the various national reports, rather than a literal sum of every single practice (which would be "including everything" in a gross sense).

    *   Sense 1 (general): "involving only main features". This fits well with "synthesises overall practices," as a synthesis typically focuses on the main features or general trends across different cases.
    *   Sense 2 (gross): "including everything". This usually refers to totals (like "overall cost" or "overall weight"). While "overall practices" could theoretically mean "all practices," the word "synthesises" strongly suggests a distillation to main features/generalities rather than a simple summation.

    *   "Overall pattern" (Sense 1) is very similar to "overall practices" in the context of a synthesis report.
    *   "Overall cost" (Sense 2) is a quantitative total.

    *   The context is a report synthesizing findings from multiple national studies. This is a qualitative synthesis of general trends/main features.
    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.

*   Target lemma: `practice`
    *   Target surface form: `practices`
    *   Context: The text discusses a conference on social exclusion, national reports on initiatives to improve recruitment, training, and development of ageing workers, and a European report that synthesizes overall "practices".
    *   Specific sentence: "These national studies will form the basis of a European report which synthesises overall <t>practices</t>."

    *   Sense 1: `practice%1:04:00::` - a customary way of operation or behavior (synonym: pattern). Example: "it is their practice to give annual raises".
    *   Sense 2: `practice%1:04:02::` - systematic training by multiple repetitions (synonym: exercise, drill). Example: "practice makes perfect".
    *   Sense 3: `practice%1:04:04::` - translating an idea into action (synonym: praxis). Example: "a hard theory to put into practice".
    *   Sense 4: `practice%1:04:03::` - the exercise of a profession. Example: "the practice of the law".
    *   Sense 5: `practice%1:09:00::` - knowledge of how something is usually done. Example: "it is not the local practice to wear shorts to dinner".

    *   The text mentions "initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers".
    *   The "practices" being synthesized in the European report are the actual methods, ways of operating, or behaviors implemented in the initiatives across different countries.
    *   Sense 1 ("a customary way of operation or behavior") fits well here. It refers to the actual methods used in the workplace or community.
    *   Sense 2 (training/drill) is incorrect.
    *   Sense 3 (translating idea into action/praxis) is close, but "practices" in the plural usually refers to the specific methods/ways of doing things (Sense 1) rather than the abstract concept of praxis.
    *   Sense 4 (profession) is incorrect.
    *   Sense 5 (knowledge of how something is usually done) is similar to Sense 1, but Sense 1 focuses more on the *way* of operation, whereas Sense 5 focuses on the *knowledge* of it. The report synthesizes the *ways* (the practices) used in the initiatives.

    *   "policies and practices" is a common collocation referring to rules (policies) and the actual ways things are done (practices).
    *   Sense 1: "a customary way of operation or behavior". This aligns perfectly with "policies and practices".

    *   Sense 1: `practice%1:04:00::` (customary way of operation)
    *   Sense 2: `practice%1:04:02::` (training)
    *   Sense 3: `practice%1:04:04::` (praxis)
    *   Sense 4: `practice%1:04:03::` (profession)
    *   Sense 5: `practice%1:09:00::` (knowledge)

    The context "synthesises overall practices" refers to the methods/ways of operating identified in the case studies. This is Sense 1.

    *   Sense 2 (`prepare and issue for public distribution or sale`): This fits perfectly. A report and a casebook are issued for distribution.
    *   Sense 3 (`have (one's written work) issued for publication`): This sense focuses on the author (e.g., "She published 25 books"). In the target sentence, the subject is the *work itself* ("The report and a casebook... will be published"), not the author.

    *   Sense 2 is the most comprehensive and accurate description of making a report and casebook available to the public. Sense 1 is too narrow (just the printing part), and Sense 3 is for the author's perspective.

    *   The report and casebook will "provide the backdrop for a conference to be staged in Autumn, 1996."
    *   "Staged" suggests an event or a meeting.
    *   The purpose is likely to discuss the findings of the reports.

    *   Sense 1: "a prearranged meeting for consultation or exchange of information or discussion (especially one with a formal agenda)". This fits perfectly. A professional gathering to discuss the results of a study/report.
    *   Sense 2: "an association of sports teams". This is completely irrelevant.
    *   Sense 3: "a discussion among participants who have an agreed (serious) topic". While similar to Sense 1, Sense 1 specifically mentions a "prearranged meeting" and "formal agenda," which better fits the context of a "staged" event following the publication of a formal report. Sense 3 is more about the act of discussion itself (like a group discussion).

    *   The word "staged" strongly implies a planned event/meeting (Sense 1) rather than just a discussion (Sense 3).
    *   The context of a European report and a casebook being published as a "backdrop" points toward a formal professional conference.

    *   Sense 2 fits perfectly: "a conference to be staged" means a conference to be organized and carried out.

    *   This implies "Foundation" is an organization or institution.
    *   Sense 2 ("an institution supported by an endowment") fits this description perfectly.

    *   Sense 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are all either abstract concepts, physical structures, or actions, none of which can "aim to document" or "analyse" things.

    *   "The Foundation aims to document..."
    *   The Foundation (an organization) has an intention or a goal to perform a specific action (documenting characteristics and analyzing causes).

    *   Sense 2: "propose or intend" (Example: "I aim to arrive at noon"). This matches perfectly.
    *   Sense 7: "have an ambitious plan or a lofty goal" (Example: "aspire"). While documenting characteristics is a goal, "aims to [verb]" is the standard construction for "intends to [verb]". Sense 2 is the more general and precise fit for "intends to".

    *   Sense 2 is the most direct fit for "aims to [do something]".

    *   Sense 1: "record in detail" - This fits perfectly. The Foundation wants to record the characteristics of age barriers.

        3.  `characteristic%1:10:00::`: the integer part of a logarithm.
        4.  `characteristic%1:07:01::`: any measurable property of a device.

    *   The sentence is about documenting the "characteristics of age barriers in job recruitment and training."
    *   "Age barriers" are social/organizational phenomena.
    *   "Characteristics" here refers to the features, attributes, or qualities that define or describe these age barriers.

    *   Sense 3 (logarithm) is completely irrelevant.
    *   Sense 4 (device property) is completely irrelevant.
    *   Sense 1 (prominent attribute or aspect) and Sense 2 (distinguishing quality) are very similar.

    *   Sense 1: "a prominent attribute or aspect of something" (synonym: feature). Example: "generosity is one of his best characteristics".
    *   Sense 2: "a distinguishing quality".

    In the context of "documenting the characteristics of age barriers," the goal is to describe the features or aspects of how these barriers manifest. "Feature" (synonym for Sense 1) fits well here. "Distinguishing quality" (Sense 2) usually implies something that sets one thing apart from another. While age barriers might have distinguishing qualities, the general intent of "documenting the characteristics" in a report/study is usually to describe the attributes or aspects (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: prominent attribute or aspect.
    *   Sense 2: distinguishing quality.
    *   Context: "document the characteristics of age barriers".
    *   If you document the characteristics of a problem, you are documenting its features/attributes.

    Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2 in WordNet:
    - `characteristic%1:09:00::` (feature) is often used for general attributes.
    - `characteristic%1:07:00::` (distinguishing quality) is often used for things that make something unique.

    In this context, "characteristics of age barriers" refers to the general attributes or features of those barriers. Sense 1 is the broader and more fitting term for "features" or "aspects" of a social phenomenon.

    *   Sense 1: "a prominent attribute or aspect of something"
    *   Sense 2: "a distinguishing quality"
    *   The phrase "document the characteristics" strongly aligns with "document the features/attributes".

    Wait, let me double-check if there's a nuance I'm missing.
    Sense 1: feature, attribute, aspect.
    Sense 2: distinguishing quality.

    In many WordNet versions, these are very close. However, "prominent attribute or aspect" (Sense 1) is a better fit for describing the nature of a social issue like "age barriers" than "distinguishing quality" (Sense 2), which implies a contrast.

    Let's re-read: "The Foundation aims to document the characteristics of age barriers in job recruitment and training and to analyse their causes."
    They want to know *what* these barriers look like (their attributes/features).

    Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

    *   The phrase is "age barriers in job recruitment and training".
    *   "Age barriers" refers to discrimination or restrictions based on a person's age (how old they are).
    *   This relates to the "time of life" or the specific number of years a person has lived, which determines their eligibility or qualification for a job.

    *   Sense 1: "how long something has existed" - This is more about the age of an object or a system.
    *   Sense 2: "an era of history" - Not applicable here.
    *   Sense 3: "a time of life (usually defined in years) at which some particular qualification or power arises" - This fits well. "Age barriers" are based on the time of life (years) which might be seen as a qualification or disqualification for a job.
    *   Sense 4: "a prolonged period of time" - Not applicable.
    *   Sense 5: "a late time of life" - While age barriers often affect older people, they can also affect younger people. Sense 3 is more general and covers the concept of age as a metric of life stage.

    *   Sense 3 specifically mentions "a time of life (usually defined in years) at which some particular qualification or power arises". In the context of "age barriers in job recruitment", the "qualification" is the age requirement (or lack thereof).

    *   Sense 1: Object age.
    *   Sense 2: Historical era.
    *   Sense 3: Life stage/years lived.
    *   Sense 4: Long duration.
    *   Sense 5: Old age.

    The context "age barriers in job recruitment" clearly refers to the age of the applicants (their life stage/years lived). Sense 3 is the best fit.

    *   The context discusses "employment patterns," "work organisations," and "age barriers in job recruitment." This clearly points to the concept of employment/occupation.
    *   Sense 1: "the principal activity in your life that you do to earn money" (occupation). This is the standard meaning of "job" in "job recruitment."

    *   The sentence is: "The Foundation aims to document the characteristics of age barriers in job recruitment and training and to analyse their causes."
    *   The object of "analyse" is "their causes" (the causes of age barriers).

    *   Sense 4 (psychoanalytic) is clearly wrong.
    *   Sense 3 (mathematical, chemical, grammatical) is too specific and doesn't fit "causes of age barriers."
    *   Sense 2 (break down into components) is a more technical/structural form of analysis.
    *   Sense 1 (consider in detail... to discover essential features or meaning) fits perfectly. Analyzing the "causes" of a social phenomenon (age barriers) involves studying and examining them to understand the underlying reasons.

    *   Sense 1: "consider in detail and subject to an analysis in order to discover essential features or meaning" -> Fits "analyse their causes".
    *   Sense 2: "break down into components or essential features" -> Less fitting than Sense 1 for "causes".

    *   The context is a report on employment patterns and age barriers. This is a social science/policy context.
    *   "Analyse their causes" means to study the reasons behind the barriers.
    *   Sense 1 is the general sense of "examine/study" to understand something.

    *   The sentence is: "The Foundation aims to document the characteristics of age barriers in job recruitment and training and to analyse their causes."

    *   The goal is to analyze *why* these age barriers exist (the origin or the factors that produce them).

    *   Sense 1: "events that provide the generative force that is the origin of something" (e.g., cause of the crash). This fits well. It refers to the underlying reasons/factors that lead to the existence of the age barriers.
    *   Sense 2: "a justification for something existing or happening" (e.g., no cause to complain). This is more about a *reason* or *justification* (e.g., "I have cause to be angry"). Age barriers aren't usually "justified" in this sense; the study is looking for the *origin* or *source* of the problem.
    *   Sense 3: "a series of actions advancing a principle" (e.g., cause of world peace). Not applicable.
    *   Sense 4: "any entity that produces an effect or is responsible for events or results" (causal agent). This is very similar to Sense 1, but Sense 1 specifically mentions "origin of something," which fits "analyzing the causes of [a social phenomenon]" better than "causal agent."

    *   Sense 1: "events that provide the generative force that is the origin of something"
    *   Sense 4: "any entity that produces an effect or is responsible for events or results"
    *   In the context of "analyzing the causes of age barriers," we are looking for the factors/events/reasons that lead to these barriers. Sense 1 is the standard meaning for "the cause of [a problem/phenomenon]."

    *   Sense 1: "they are trying to determine the cause of the crash" -> "analyse their causes [of age barriers]"
    *   Sense 2: "he had no cause to complain" -> "analyse their causes" (doesn't fit)
    *   Sense 3: "worked in the cause of world peace" -> "analyse their causes" (doesn't fit)
    *   Sense 4: "causal agent" -> "analyse their causes" (less common for social phenomena than Sense 1)

    Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
