Berlinde de Bruyckere. Mit Texten von E. Alloa, G. Carrion-Murayari, A. Mengoni Ed. Marc Fehlmann, Birgit Verwiebe
No full textMit ihren Werken hat die belgische Künstlerin Berlinde De Bruyckere in den vergangenen Jahren weltweit große Anerkennung erfahren. 2013 bespielte sie den belgischen Pavillon auf der Biennale in Venedig mit ihrer Installation "Kreupelhout", die zumPublikumsrenner avancierte. Das ist die erste Monografie ihres ouvres der letzten zwanzig Jahre auf Deutsch. Das Werk von Berlinde De Bruyckere geht im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes unter die Haut. Ihre Skulpturen und Installationen führen die Verletzlichkeit des menschlichen Körpers vor Augen. In expressiven Arbeiten aus Wachs, Holz, Wolle, Stofffetzen oder Tierfellen thematisiert sie Leben und Tod, Einsamkeit und Fragilität von Mensch, Tier und Pflanzenwelt. Die verstörende Wucht ihrer beeindruckenden Arbeiten kommt in großformatigen Abbildungen intensiv zum Tragen. In enger Zusammenarbeit mit De Bruyckere entstand das aufwendige Layout dieser Publikation. Drei philosophische Essays reflektieren das Werk dieser besonderen Künstlerin und regen den Leser zum Nachdenken über die menschliche Existenz an

Full text linkThe 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

No full textVariations on the Author
Full text link“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
Heterogeneity in preferences for primary care consultations: results from a discrete choice experiments
Full text linkAbstract: Purpose: The increasing importance of flexibility in the general practitioner (GP) -patient consultation approach in primary care requires healthcare managers and physicians to find a balance among all the potentially important characteristics of consultation. This study used a discrete choice experiment (DCE) to assess patients’ preferences for different attributes of GP consultation and how the rate at which they traded between different attributes is affected by socio-demographic characteristics and past experiences with primary care services .
Methods: A survey was conducted to a sample of 6970 residents in Tuscany region, Italy. Besides socio-demographic characteristics the survey collected information about participants’ past experience with GP consultation in the last 12 months. Moreover, participants were asked to select their preferred option in a series of pairwise choices, defined by the following attributes: level of involvement in decision making, amount of information received from the GP and waiting time for the visit.
Results: Results revealed that receiving information from the GP was more important than being involved in the decisions and that, approximately, a complete involvement had the same importance as a partial involvement. Participants' past experience with GP’s consultation appeared to have the greatest influence on the involvement level. The amount of information required by the respondents was also influenced by a complex interplay of personal and contextual factors.
Conclusions: This large-scale study extends the body of literature on DCE applications for different GP consultation approaches, providing new information about the influence that patients’ socio-demographic characteristics and past experiences could have on consultation preferences
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
