The abbot Bonifacio Maria Krug on the Gospel notes
Full text linkLa vita di Gesù - pensieri musicali è il nome che attribuì Bonifacio Maria Krug alla raccolta di 6 composizioni pianistiche ispirate ad altrettanti episodi del Vangelo. L’abate compose i sei brani per pianoforte ispirandosi ad una sacralità totalizzante e coerente al movimento ceciliano che tra la fine del 1800 e la prima metà del 1900 esaltava il ritorno alle origini della musica liturgica pura.
Ogni brano è numerato da 1 a 6 e presenta un titolo e un sottotitolo con riferimenti precisi: il titolo cita un luogo (eccetto l’ultimo Alleluia), il sottotitolo la descrizione concisa dell’episodio biblico narrato musicalmente. È come se si volesse compiere un viaggio spirituale calandosi nella realtà di quei luoghi dalla forte connotazione simbolica. Nazareth, Bethlem, Genesareth, Gethsemani e Golgotha scandiscono idealmente le tappe del percorso esistenziale di Cristo sulla Terra, per terminare con l’alleluia, inno d’esultanza per la risurrezione dell’Uomo-Dio.
La ricerca proposta intende fornire un’analisi armonico-formale delle 6 opere sacre per pianoforte composte da Bonifacio Maria Krug, esaminando le scelte formali e tecniche dell’abate benedettino e le sue implicazioni simboliche legate alle Sacre Scritture. L’argomentazione è supportata da frammenti esemplificativi degli spartiti che delineano il profilo creativo musicale dell’Abate- compositore.La vita di Gesù- pensieri musicali is the name Bonifacio Maria Krug gave to the collection of 6 piano compositions inspired to the likewise Gospel episodes. The abbot composed these 6 piano pieces with a complete sacredness coherent with the Cecilian movement which exalted the return of pure liturgical music between the end of 1800 and the first half of 1900. Each piece is numbered from 1 to 6 and has a title and a subtitle. The title indicates a specific place (except the last one, Alleluia); the subtitle describes the Gospel episode the music tells. It is a sort of spiritual journey in the reality of those sacred places. Nazareth, Bethlehem, Genesareth, Gethsemani and Golgotha are ideally the steps of the existential route of Jesus Christ on Earth ending with Alleluia which celebrates the resurrection. This research offers a formal-harmonic analysis of these 6 piano works composed by Bonifacio Maria Krug, examining formal and technical musical choices and symbolic implications related to the Holy Scriptures. This argumentation is supported by some sections of the piano scores which underline the creative profile of the composer-abbot
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
