Attentional dysfunctions following left parietal infarction
No full textBabinsky R, Spiske K, Neufert C, Engel H, Markowitsch HJ. Attentional dysfunctions following left parietal infarction. NEUROLOGY PSYCHIATRY AND BRAIN RESEARCH. 1996;4(3):139-142.Dysfunctions in spatial attention and neglect are frequently observed after right parietal lobe damage. We present the case of a 32-year-old male patient with a left parietal stroke involving the supramarginal and angular gyri. He showed no signs of perceptual, language, memory or intellectual deterioration, but disturbances in spatial attention and somatosensory awareness for his contralateral side. A small zone of the left parietal cortex seems to be essential for attentional processes and deficits are not compensated by the right hemisphere
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
Clinical case report: Memory functions after anterior communicating artery aneurysm rupture
No full textBabinsky R, Spiske K, Markowitsch HJ, Engel H. Clinical case report: Memory functions after anterior communicating artery aneurysm rupture. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF NEUROSCIENCE. 1997;91(3-4):265-275.The case of a patient suffering from rupture of an aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery is reported. The hematoma was located in the basal forebrain, one of the anatomical regions associated with mnestic functions. Memory and other cognitive functions were studied. The patient performed. well on all non-mnestic tests, but showed significant memory impairment. Anterograde memory was deficient not only in recall, but also in recognition. Performance on remote memory tests showed some differentiation. The patient remembered autobiographical material and famous faces correctly, but presented deficits on a Famous Events Test. This dissociation represents a difference in emotional content or familiarity of the material; the performance in tests using material with a higher emotional content was unremarkable. Lesions within the basal forebrain seem to deteriorate anterograde and remote memory, but performance may be inconspicuous if test material of high emotional content or familiarity is used
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
