Get PDFThe article investigates the methodological foundations of the formation of a logistics management system for material flows at the regional level. The significance of logistics management as a scientific direction in the modern economy and its role in optimization of flow movement of different saturations, both material and intangible, are analyzed. The impact of logistics on the transport and business processes efficiency, cost reduction, improvement of the quality of goods and services, and increase of companies competitiveness, is investigated. The aim of the article is development the scientific and methodological principles of logistics management of material flows at the regional level, identification the main problems of its implementation and propose ways for its solutions. The research methodology incorporates several general scientific approaches, including empirical methods (observation, comparison), theoretical methods (transition from abstract to concrete), and universal scientific methods (abstraction and specification, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, analogy), among others. The importance of addressing the scientific issue presented in this study stems from the fact that, despite a substantial body of research in logistics management, numerous unresolved questions persist, requiring further exploration and practical application. These include designing adaptive models for regional logistics system management, accounting for economic development characteristics, infrastructure nuances, and transport accessibility. The studyʼs findings indicate that implementing robust logistics strategies enhances competitiveness of enterprises, reduces costs, refines transport flows, and elevates logistics service quality. The widespread implementation of modern digital technologies is proposed, which will significantly improve the efficiency of logistics flows, ensure accurate demand forecasting, and optimize supply chains. Accordingly, the author proposes improving logistics management in the regional economy through the application of innovative technologies, optimization of material and logistics flow management, and optimization of logistics chains efficiency. The study’s originality and applied significance lie in substantiating a methodological approach whose implementation can facilitate the development of effective logistics process management mechanisms, thereby improving service quality, lowering costs, and fostering regional economic stability. The study’s conclusions affirm that logistics management is a crucial instrument for optimizing material, information, financial, and service flows at the regional level. The effective execution of logistics strategies strengthens business competitiveness, minimizes expenses, enhances transport flow coordination, and improves logistics service standards. The research findings hold potential benefits for logistics enterprises at various levels.У статті досліджено методологічні основи формування системи логістичного менеджменту матеріальних потоків на регіональному рівні. Проаналізовано значення логістичного менеджменту як наукового напряму в сучасній економіці та його роль в оптимізації руху потоків різного насичення, як матеріальних, так і нематеріальних. Досліджено вплив логістики на ефективність транспортних і підприємницьких процесів, зниження витрат, покращення якості товарів і послуг та підвищення конкуренто-спроможності компаній. Метою статті є розробка науково-методичних засад логістичного менеджменту матеріальних потоків на регіональному рівні, визначення основних проблем його впровадження та пошук напрямів подолання. У межах дослідження застосовано низку загальнонаукових методів, зокрема емпіричні (спостереження, порівняння) та теоретичні (перехід від абстрактного до конкретного), а також такі прийоми, як аналіз і синтез, індукція та дедукція, аналогія, абстрагування й конкретизація. Актуальність порушеної в статті наукової проблеми обумовлена тим, що, незважаючи на значний обсяг досліджень у сфері логістичного менеджменту, залишаються питання, які потребують подальшого опрацювання та практичного застосування. Зокрема, важливим є створення адаптивних моделей управління логістичними системами на регіональному рівні, які враховували б особливості економічного розвитку, інфраструктури та транспортної доступності. Результати дослідження наступні: впровадження ефективних логістичних стратегій сприяє підвищенню конкурентоспроможності підприємств, зниженню витрат, оптимізації транспортних потоків та покращенню якості логістичних послуг. Запропоновано широке впровадження сучасних цифрових технологій, що дозволить значно покращити результативність логістичних потоків, забезпечити точне прогнозування попиту та оптимізувати ланцюги постачання. Таким чином, автором запропоновано удосконалення логістичного менеджменту в регіональній економіці шляхом застосування інноваційних технологій, оптимізації керування матеріально-логістичними потоками та оптимізації ефективності логістичних ланцюгів, що є ключовими аспектами дослідження. Його унікальність і практична значущість полягають у розробці методологічного підходу, впровадження якого сприятиме створенню дієвих механізмів управління логістичними процесами. Це, у свою чергу, сприятиме покращенню рівня сервісу, зменшенню витрат і забезпеченню сталого розвитку економіки регіону. Висновки дослідження наступні: управління логістичними процесами є ключовим інструментом для оптимізації матеріальних, інформаційних, фінансових та сервісних потоків на регіональному рівні. Застосування ефективних логістичних стратегій сприяє зростанню конкурентоспро-можності компаній, скороченню витрат, покращенню транспортних потоків та підвищенню якості логістичних послуг. Отримані результати дослідження можуть бути корисними для логістичних підприємств різних масштабів діяльності
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
