    Strateško upravljanje važan je čimbenik svakog segmenta modernog društva pa tako i sporta. Većina lokalnih sredina u Republici Hrvatskoj koristi značajne financijske resurse kako bi uspostavila kvalitetan i efikasan sustav sporta. Strateški pristup podrazumijeva analizu stanja svih segmenata sporta važnih za daljnje funkcioniranje sustava te definiranje ciljeva koje je potrebno ostvariti u određenom vremenskom periodu. Sustav sporta u Novom Marofu analiziran je u nekoliko segmenata koji su važni za daljnji razvoj sporta. Utvrđeni su trenutni pokazatelji stanja sporta u Novom Marofu u različitim segmentima, poput natjecateljskog sporta, školskog sporta, infrastrukture i financija.Strategic management is an important factor in every segment of modern society, including sports. Most local communities in the Republic of Croatia use significant financial resources in order to establish a quality and efficient sports system. The strategic approach involves analyzing the state of all segments of sports important for the further functioning of the system and defining the goals that need to be achieved in a certain period of time. The sports system in Novi Marof has been analyzed in several segments that are important for the further development of sports. Current indicators of the state of sports in Novi Marof in various segments, such as competitive sports, school sports, infrastructure and finance, have been established

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Cilj rada je analizirati stanje sustava sporta u Novom Marofu i doći do uvida u kvantitativne pokazatelje koji su preduvjet za bilo kakvo daljnje strateško planiranje. Isto tako u radu su prikazani neki od primjera strateškoga pristupa upravljanju sportskim sustavom na razini lokalne zajednice. Većina lokalnih sredina u Republici Hrvatskoj koristi značajne financijske resurse kako bi uspostavila kvalitetan i efikasan sustav sporta. Strateški pristup podrazumijeva analizu stanja svih segmenata sporta važnih za daljnje funkcioniranje sustava te definiranje ciljeva koje je potrebno ostvariti u određenom vremenskom periodu. Sustav sporta u Novom Marofu analiziran je u nekoliko segmenata koji su važni za daljnji razvoj sporta. Utvrđeni su trenutačni pokazatelji stanja sporta u Novom Marofu u različitim segmentima, poput natjecateljskoga sporta, školskoga sporta, infrastrukture i financija. U radu je zaključeno kako je stanje sporta u gradu Novom Marofu, u smislu raznolikosti sportske ponude, aktivizma i društvene uloge sporta, zadovoljavajuće. Nešto lošija situacija je kad su u pitanju sportska infrastruktura i financije. Također, jedan od prostora za unaprjeđenje sustava sporta je i donošenje strateškoga dokumenta koji se odnosi samo na ovaj segment društva, iako je sport djelomično spomenut u ostalim strateškim dokumentima.The aim of this paper was to analyze the sports system in the city of Novi Marof and to gain insight into the quantitative indicators that are a prerequisite for any further strategic planning. Also, the paper presents some examples of strategic management of sports systems at the local community level community. Most local communities in the Republic of Croatia use significant financial resources to establish a high-quality and efficient sports system. The strategic approach implies the analysis of the state of all sports segments important for the further functioning of the system and the definition of goals that need to be achieved in a certain period. The sports system in Novi Marof was analyzed in several segments important for further sports development. The current indicators of the state of sports in Novi Marof have been determined in different segments, such as competitive sports, school sports, infrastructure, and finances. The paper concluded that the state of sports in the city of Novi Marof is satisfactory regarding the variety of sports offered, activism, and the social role of sports. The situation could be better in terms of sports infrastructure and finances. Also, one of the areas for improving the sports system is the adoption of a strategic document that refers only to this segment of society, even though the sport is partially mentioned in other strategic documents

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
