No full textWydział Nauk Politycznych i DziennikarstwaRozprawa doktorska opisuje przemiany, jakie nastąpiły w Kostrzynie nad Odrą w latach 1989-2013. W pierwszym rozdziale pracy opisana została historia miasta od jego powstania po 1989 rok. Po II wojnie światowej miasto znalazło się w polskich rękach. Kostrzyn stał się miastem granicznym. Opuszczonym i zniszczonym. Pierwszymi jego mieszkańcami byli żołnierze, kolejarze i pocztowcy. Miasto odżyło dzięki odbudowie Kostrzyńskiej Fabryki Celulozy i Papieru. W późniejszym czasie na rozwój miasta wpływała kolej, duża liczna stacjonującego wojska, otwarcie przejścia granicznego, handel oraz otwarcie specjalnej strefy ekonomicznej. W dalszej części pracy autor opisał wybory samorządowe, parlamentarne i prezydenckie. W trzecim rozdziale opisana została gospodarka. Dzięki rozwiniętemu przemysłowi, przejściu granicznemu, bazarowi, korzystnemu położeniu geograficznemu i dobrze funkcjonującej władzy samorządowej, miast stało się jednym z najbogatszych w regionie. Czwarty rozdział przedstawia przemiany życia społecznego. Opisany został rynek pracy, demografia, pomoc społeczne, ochrona zdrowia, bezpieczeństwo publiczne oraz działania związane z kilkoma powodziami, które miały miejsce w Kostrzynie nad Odrą w opisywanym czasie. Piąty rozdział poświęcony został oświacie, kulturze, sportowi i rekreacji. W ostatnim rozdziale Kostrzyn nad Odrą opisany został jako miasto europejskie.Doctoral thesis describes the changes that took place in Kostrzyn in the years 1989-2013. The first chapter describes the history of the city since its inception up until 1989 year. After World War II the city was in Polish hands. Kostrzyn became a border town. Abandoned and destroyed. Its first inhabitants were the soldiers, railwaymen and postmen. The town revived thanks to the restoration of Kostrzyn Cellulose and Paper Factory. Railway, numerous large stationed troops, opening of the border crossing, local trade as well as opening of the special economic zone - later affected on the development of the town. In the next part, the author described the local elections, parliamentary and presidential elections. Kostrzyn is a town that really trusts their authorities. This made it possible to realize a number of controversial projects such as Woodstock Festival. In the third chapter was described the town’s economy. The fourth chapter presents the transformation of social life. It describes the labour market, demography, social assistance, health care, public safety and the activities associated with several floods that occurred in Kostrzyn in the described time. The fifth chapter is devoted to the education, culture, sport and recreation. The author described the education, community centre activities, libraries, museums, sport events and tourism. In the last chapter Kostrzyn has been described as a European city
The European Social Fund as a Tool for Making People with Disabilities Professionally Active in Poland 2004-2006
No full textThe European Social Fund is one of the instruments used to prevent the unemployment
of people with disabilities in Poland. The Author of the paper assesses the degree
to which in 2004–2006 Poland made use of the ESF financial resources under ‘Measure
1.4’ of the Sectoral Operational Programme for Human Resources Development.
It is EFS funds and other EU resources that may, at least partially, prevent numerous
problems. This may be achieved by the organization of vocational training and psychology
workshops for people with disabilities and for those who collaborate with
them
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
