No full textSimulium curtatum n. sp. (Figs. 6 B, 7 B, 9 B, 11 B, 12) Diagnosis: This species is distinguished morphologically from all other cytoforms of the group by having the stalk of the ventral pair of gill filaments longer than the stalk of the middle triplet, and from all other cytoforms, except S. inthanonense, by having a small postgenal cleft. This species differs morphologically from S. asakoae as follows: Female. Sensory vesicle ca. 0.6 x as long as 3 rd segment of maxillary palp (Fig. 12 C); mid tibia and hind basitarsus darker. Male. Upper eye of 13 vertical columns and 16 horizontal rows of large facets; anterior and posterior margins of ventral plate slightly convex (Fig. 12 I). Pupa. Gill filaments (Fig. 11 B) (3) or (1 + 2) + (1 + 2) + 2 from dorsal to ventral; terminal hooks each with serrated outer margin. Larva. Head spots faintly positive; postgenal cleft (Fig. 9 B) ca. 1.1–1.4 x as long as postgenal bridge; abdominal segments I–III with greenish transverse bands, segment V with reddish-brown transverse band dorsally. Chromosomes. The polytene chromosomes of 23 larvae from two populations (sites 6 and 14) stained well. The centromere regions were not expanded. The banding sequence differed from standard by more than seven fixed inversions: IS- 4 (Fig. 2 A) IIS- 5 (Fig. 4 A), IIL- 7.8, IIL- 9 (Fig. 5 A), IIIS- 2, and multiple inversions in IIIL (IIIL-complex 2, Fig. 6 B). We found two floating inversions, IL- 2 (Fig. 2 B) and IIIL- 9 (Fig. 6 B). Type specimens. Holotype: Male, with associated pupal exuviae and cocoon (in ethanol vial). THAI- LAND, Chiang Mai Province, Siriphum waterfall, Doi Inthanon National Park, 18 º 32 'N 98 º 30 'E, 24.VII. 2005, S. Jitklang and C. Kuvangkadilok. Paratypes: 1 male and 1 female (in glycerin vial), 2 pupae, and 4 mature larvae (transferred from Carnoy’s fixative to 95 % ethanol), same data as holotype. Bionomics. Pupae and larvae were collected from fallen leaves in narrow streams (0.2–2.5 m wide) with low conductivity (mean = 25.03 µs/cm) at high altitudes (950–1615 m) (Table 3). This species was collected with S. asakoae, S. chamlongi, S. inthanonense, S. feuerborni, S. doipuiense, and S. yuphae. Etymology. The specific name curtatum is from Latin, meaning “short”, in reference to the short postgenal cleft of the larva.Published as part of Jitklang, Sanae, Kuvangkadilok, Chaliow, Baimai, Visut, Takaoka, Hiroyuki & Adler, Peter H., 2008, Cytogenetics and morphotaxonomy of the Simulium (Gomphostilbia) ceylonicum species group (Diptera: Simuliidae) in Thailand, pp. 1-28 in Zootaxa 1917 on page 14, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18462

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
Využití sociálních médií v B2B prodeji
No full textTato diplomová práce se zabývá tím, jak mohou B2B obchodníci využívat sociální média v prodeji. Na základě systematické rešerše literatury, autor zjistil, že akademici, zkoumající danou problematiku, navrhují další výzkum, a to: v kterých konkrétních krocích se dají využít sociální média v prodeji (Salo, 2017). Autor se na základě toho rozhodl zjistit, jaké sociální sítě, různé technologie a pluginy se dají využít v B2B prodeji - tzv. social sellingu. Social selling se v této práci týká primárně procesu akvizice a okrajově péčí o stávající zákazníky. Autor si vybral kvalitativní průzkum pomocí 10 hloubkových polo-strukturovaných rozhovorů, aby odhalil jak, která sociální média to jsou, tak i motivaci prodejců, proč tato média používat/nepoužívat. Aby autor dodržel správnost vyhodnocení výsledků, data byla analyzována pomocí Tématické analýzy, která v této studii vykrystalizovala 2 hlavní strategické přístupy v social sellingu. Tyto přístupy (tzv. Push a Pull strategie) obsahují praktické příklady a konkrétní aktivity, které mohou prodejci využívat v každodenní praxi. Tyto výsledky jsou prezentovány s důrazem na praktičnost a jednoduchost implementace. Tvoří proto hlavní přínos autorovo výzkumu. V poslední části autor zmiňuje výzvy a manažerská doporučení, které mohou obchodníci využít v každodenním pracovním životě.This diploma thesis focuses on social media usage in B2B sales. Based on the systematic literature review conducted by the author, he has found out that recent researchers (Salo, 2017) suggest further research in the area of how and in which sales phase should various social networking sites, technologies and plugins used. To further fill this research gap, author decided to identify these social media and their usage among B2B salespeople in the so-called social selling process. The social selling process in this thesis applies mainly to acquiring new prospects and tangentially to taking care of existing clients (follow-up step). Author has chosen a qualitative research method via conducting 10 in-depth semi-structured interviews to reveal these instruments as well as motivation of a sales person on why to use social media in the selling process. The collected data was analyzed using Thematic analysis to ensure the right procedure and to identify main themes which crystalized into 2 main strategic approaches in social selling. These approaches (Push and Pull) include practical examples of concrete activities which sales people can use in their daily jobs and are presented with focus on practicality and ease of implementation. These also form the main contribution of author`s research. In the last part, author mentions challenges in social selling and recommended managerial implications for salesforce
TeX v jednoduchém unixovém prostředí
No full textsummary:Při ladění TeXového dokumentu potřebujeme mnohokrát opakovaně pouštět TeX, podívat se, jak dopadl výsledek v prohlížeči DVI nebo PDF souboru, mrknout na výpis TeXu na terminálu, podívat se případně do logu a celou činnost opakovat. V tomto článku je ukázáno, jak tuto práci dělá autor článku. Proces "editor-TeX-kuk" je zde podporován jednoduchými unixovými nástroji: bashovým skriptem texloop, který si autor pro tyto účely vytvořil, dále terminálem Xterm a jednoduchým editorem, který umí navázat na klávesovou zkratku spuštění příkazu v systému. Čtenář se zde může inspirovat a přizpůsobit tyto nástroje svým vlastním potřebám. V článku je popsána funkce skriptu texloop, dále je neformálně rozveden dlouholetý vývoj autorova vztahu k textovým editorům a konečně je zde uvedena konfigurace terminálu Xterm, aby vyhovoval českému prostředí jak v kódování ISO-8859-2, tak v kódování UTF-8. Pro kódování UTF-8 si v závěru článku vygenerujeme TeXový formát csplain.summary:By debugging a TeX document it is necessary many times repeatedly to run TeX, to look for the result in DVI or PDF file, to gander the TeX output on the terminal, or eventually to have a look in the log-file, and all that action to repeat. In the paper it is show, how this work is made by author. The process '‘'editor-TeX-look' is supported by simple Unix tools: bash script texloop, created by author for these purposes, Xterm terminal and a simple editor, which is able to link to the shortcut key the activation of a system command. The reader could be inspired with the solution and to adapt these tools to his/her own needs. In the paper the function of the texloop script is described, and further the longstanding evolution of the author's relation to text editors is informal elaborated and finally a configuration of Xterm terminal, suitable for the czech environment with both ISO-8859-2 and UTF-8 encoding is introduced. For UTF-8 encoding the TeX format csplain is generated at the end of the paper
