Anti-sexual harassment policies in the workplace: lessons from India
No full textLegal compliance is crucial for effective anti-sexual harassment legislation. But Anukriti Dixit shows how a focus on compliance disregards caste, sexual orientation or religious status. These neglected hierarchies inherent in anti-sexual harassment policies are key to combatting sexual harassment in the workplaces of Indi
Heteronormative policies in India and Switzerland
No full textThe family is the first gatekeeper of conservative regimes. Now, more than ever, such regimes are gaining political mileage in the global North and global South. Anukriti Dixit explores the violence of heteronormativity and its related fundamentalist ideals through two social phenomena: the recent rise of ‘honour killing’ of queer persons in India and the rise of violence against queer and trans people in Switzerlan

Extending decavanadate cyclability through hybridization for high-energy supercapacitors
No full textVanadium-based polyoxometalates (POMs) or polyoxovanadates can provide high specific capacitance and energy due to their lower mass as compared to other heavier polyoxometalates. However, due to their poor cyclability, polyoxovanadates have been rarely considered for energy storage applications. Immobilizing POM nanoclusters in activated carbon (AC) matrix is a very good way to fully harness their fast electroactivity while improving their stability. In this study, hybrid electrodes made of AC supported decavanadate POM nanoclusters with high-rate capabilities and improved cyclability were synthesized. AC-sodium decavanadate was first prepared and then sodium was substituted with an organic cation (tetrabutylammonium) to synthesize AC-tetrabutylammonium decavanadate. Both materials were characterized and tested in an asymmetric configuration with an organic electrolyte. The electrodes demonstrated fast and reversible redox activity leading to an improvement in specific capacitance. The asymmetric cells showed high specific energy and power (35.5 Wh kg−1 at 68 W kg−1) and 91 % capacitance retention after 5000 cycles.Funding from Ministerio de Ciencia Innovacion y Universidades (MCIU), Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI) and the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) (grant PID2021–128390OB-I00, TED2021–130205B-C21, and PLEC2022–009328) are gratefully acknowledged.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Varieties of Nationalism in Postcolonial, Neoliberal and Hetero-Patriarchal Times
No full textWhat forms of ‘nationalist’ power have been realized––or have now become imaginable––as a result of heteropatriarchal, postcolonial neoliberal nationalist narratives? What situated forms of oppression and co-optation persist through the dissemination of such logics? What is new about the individual responsibility, isolated agency and atomic ‘agents’ who are the subjects of such imagined or actual regimes (Davies, 1991)? The Panels in the ECPR section 'Varieties of Nationalism in Postcolonial, Neoliberal and Hetero-Patriarchal Times', explore various accounts of the rise of right-wing nationalism and their specific invocation of the ‘postcolonial’ as well as their moves towards individual responsibility, a politics of austerity and a re-institutionalization of hetero-patriarchy (Brown, 2015)
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
