Ordning och reda på gym
No full textSammanfattning Författare: Pontus Assarsson Handledare: Torbjörn Andersson
Högskola: Malmö Universitet, Institutionen för Lärande och Samhälle, Idrottsvetenskap Syfte: Syftet är att öka förståelsen för hur social ordning skapas och upprätthålls på gym i Malmö. Metod: Tio gymanläggningar i Malmö har besökts av mig personligen där semistrukturerade intervjuer (n=10) genomförts med
gymanläggningsansvariga platschefer. Resultat: Den sociala ordningen på gym i Malmö förstås som att det råder konsensus på ytan men att denna konsensuskultur endast är
skenbar eftersom motsättningar och sociala problem ändå uppstår.
För detta har kontrollsystem och turordningsregler upprättats vilka
förstås som övervaknings- och disciplineringsanordningar som
omformar misskötsamma Malmöbor till rediga individer.

Purpose: The purpose is to increase our understanding of how social order is
created and maintained at gyms in Malmö.
Method: Ten gym facilities in Malmö have been visited by me personally,
here semi-structured interviews (n=10) were carried out with site-
responsible managers.
Results: The social order at gyms in Malmö is understood by the fact that
there is consensus on the surface but that this consensus culture is
only apparent because contradictions and social problems
nevertheless arise. For this, control systems and ordering measures
have been established which are understood as monitoring and
disciplining devices that transform misleading Malmö residents
into tidy individuals.

Syfte: Syftet är att diskutera det moderna gymmet som fenomen samt förklara och förstå fenomenet utifrån svensk och internationell sociologisk forskningslitteratur.
Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie användes som metod för att svara på syftet. Sökningar utfördes i databaserna ASSIA, SPORTDiscus, SAGE Journals och Sociological abstracts. Funna artiklar (15) kvalitetsgranskades och analyserades.
Resultat: Resultatet visa att stora delar av forskningslitteraturen använde sig av fallstudieforskningsdesign med etnografiska och kvalitativa insamlingsmetoder. Till detta visa resultatet att flera forskare kommit att använda olika systematiska sociologiska teoretiska analyser där Pierre Bourdieus kapitalbegrepp och George Ritzers McDonaldiseringsprocess ofta användes.

Purpose: The purpose is to discuss the modern gym as a phenomenon as well as to explain and understand the phenomenon based on Swedish and international sociological literature.
Method: A systematic literature study was used as a method of responding to the purpose. Searches were carried out in the databases ASSIA, SPORTDiscus, SAGE Journals and Sociological abstracts. Found articles (15) were quality-reviewed and analyzed.
Results: The results show that large parts of the scientific literature used case study research design with ethnographic and qualitative methods. In addition, the results show that several researchers have been using different sociological theoretical analyzes where Pierre Bourdieus capital concept and George Ritzers McDonaldization concepts often are applied.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
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
Variations 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
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
