Hirsch Family Collection, Halberstadt 1765-1980 Bulk dates: 1810-1910
No full textThe Hirsch Family, Halberstadt Collection documents the lives of Hirsch family members in the city of Halberstadt and the business of Aron Hirsch & Sohn located there. Included in the collection are personal papers such as vital documents and correspondence, business records including balance sheets and account books, correspondence, certificates and official announcements. Other papers include family trees, genealogical notes, and articles and essays about the family and their business.The following individuals are mentioned in this collection:Auerbach, Siegfried; Hildesheimer, A; Hirsch, Aron; Hirsch, Benjamin; Hirsch, Siegmund; Rau, Max; Rau, Moses; Schmidt, Rudolf; Schwab, Hermann; Tramer, Hans; Weltsch, Robert.In 1780 the Rabbi Naphtali Hirsch Gumprecht Göttingen moved to Halberstadt to attend the city's "Klaus" (an institution for Talmudic study). His eldest son was Aron Gumprecht Göttingen, born in Halberstadt in 1783. Following the Napoleonic edict that required Jews to select surnames in 1808, Aron chose the name "Hirsch."In 1805 Aron Hirsch (1783-1842) founded a metal business, taking advantage of existing copper and silver mines in the nearby Harz mountains. Eventually, his son Joseph (1809-1871) and other relatives joined the new family business “Aron Hirsch & Sohn”, which expanded to trade in copper, tin, zinc, and lead, as well as in alloys and chemicals. By the mid-1800s Halberstadt had become a center of the metal trade in Europe. Throughout his life, Joseph Hirsch was not only active in the Jewish community of Halberstadt, but he also initiated charitable institutions city-wide. He befriended Halberstadt’s well-known rabbi Benjamin Hirsch Auerbach, whose children, Julie and Selig married Joseph Hirsch’s children Benjamin and Rosa.In 1863, Joseph Hirsch’s brother Gustav (1822-1898) extended the firm to include the brass works (Messingwerke) near Eberswald in Prussia, close to the Finow Canal.Following Joseph Hirsch’s death in 1871, his eldest son Benjamin took over the firm's leadership. Benjamin Hirsch (1840-1911) was instrumental in expanding the firm's international connections to London, New York and Australia, and he acquired the mines of Tetiutse near Vladivostock in Russia, whose government forced him to change his religion. As his father before him, Benjamin Hirsch was head of the Jewish community in Halberstadt, and he helped found the local B'nai B'rith Lodge and bestowed aid to many other Jewish philanthropies.In 1906 the firm created the Hirsch, Kupfer und Messingwerke AG in Berlin, specializing in alloys from the brass and copper works near Eberswald and Ilsenburg. The metal trade continued under the name Aron Hirsch & Sohn, and was still administrated from the parent firm in Halberstadt. Following the death of Benjamin Hirsch in 1911, his nephew Aron (1858-1941; son of Benjamin’s brother Siegmund, 1831-1877) took over the leadership of Hirsch, Kupfer und Messingwerke AG in Berlin, passing on the leadership to his own son, Siegmund after World War I. In 1938, following the liquidation of Hirsch, Kupfer und Messingwerke AG in 1932, Siegmund Hirsch went to Egypt, where he established the Egyptian Copper Works.The final head of Aron Hirsch & Sohn in Halberstadt was Benjamin Hirsch’s youngest son Emil (1870-1938). In 1938 Emil Hirsch went to Amsterdam, where he died the very same year.12 p. inventoryProcesseddigitize

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
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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

koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
