Bhavna Dave, Kazakhstan
Get PDFBhavna Dave relies upon three different streams of scholarly enquiry (“the new Western historiography of the Soviet era, the postcolonial theory and the ethnographies of post-socialist transition,” p. 11) in order to analyze the evolution of Kazakh “national consciousness”, as embedded in pre-Soviet, Soviet and post-Soviet power relations. The question is explored principally in terms of the language policies adopted in the Soviet and post-Soviet periods. In Dave’s words, “the crucial argumen..

Proceedings of the 47th Annual Moyers Symposium
No full textAt the end of February 2020, we were preparing to attend the 47th Moyers Symposium in Ann Arbor, Michigan with great excitement. This famous international meeting has been held every year on the campus of the University of Michigan and brings together researchers, clinicians, teachers and residents from around the world. It offers this unique opportunity to network with colleagues and friends in a wonderful academic setting.
This past year, the symposium focused on controversies in Orthodontics and the emergence of a consensus. It was such a timely topic for our specialty! New treatment modalities were entering the practice of orthodontics and the very way we practiced our specialty was being challenged by a “do it yourself” approach to treatment. Superb presentations discussed novel and challenging topics for two and a half days during the pre-symposium, giving the audience a sense for the new and the controversies in Orthodontics. New technologies were used to explore the TMD challenge and new appliance designs to treat Class II and Class III applied the principles of old, perhaps forgotten appliances to the demands of the modern patients. The expansion of the maxilla was discussed at length with the introduction of new treatment modalities. The importance of biomechanics as it applies to clear aligners and the principles of accelerated tooth movement were debated. An insightful discussion of the emergence of new trends in practice, took place. Researchers demonstrated that augmented reality and artificial intelligence were entering our specialty and could profoundly impact our future teaching, research and treatment delivery.
We left snow covered Ann Arbor, recharged and refocused after a stimulating exchange of ideas and opinions. The symposium concluded on March 1, 2020 and little did we know about the challenges that laid ahead of us. Rumors of a virus circulating in the Wuhan province of China appeared in the news, followed by the devastation that it left behind. The wave of infections was already reaching Europe and Italy was hit hard. By March 11, 2020 this outbreak of a novel Corona virus was labelled a pandemic, a word that the world had forgotten since the flu outbreak of 1918. Within days, the world and the United States started to shut down to face the unknown. We emerged 10 weeks later and we have been wrestling with the controversies in the information available and the need for a consensus. We have learned from the experiences and experiments of other countries, but in the final analysis, science prevails and science will win.
Controversies will always exist in the field of Orthodontics as they have in the past. Some disappear and some find a second life and resurface. In the end, as providers of care and professionals, we need to examine the data and not settle for empirical evidence. Looking to the future, it is critical that we continue to stay focused on the science that is the foundation of our specialty and the Moyer’s symposium is certainly the place where ideas are discussed and science is presented as a basis to better the clinical practice of orthodontics.
The 47th Annual Moyers Symposium and the 45th Annual International Conference on Craniofacial Research (Presymposium) were held at the University of Michigan on Friday, vii
February 28, 2020 through Sunday, March 1, 2020. This meeting was sponsored by the Department of Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry, School of Dentistry, University of Michigan. The proceeding of this annual meeting is memorialized in the 57th volume of the Craniofacial Growth Series and contains reports, original research, case series and review articles from internationally renowned experts, scientists and clinicians. The 57th volume and the entire Craniofacial Growth Series is made available to the public through the University of Michigan Deep Blue Repository https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/handle/2027.42/146667.
As in previous years, the Symposium honored the late Dr. Robert Moyers, Professor Emeritus of Dentistry and Fellow Emeritus and Founding Director of the Center for Human Growth and Development at the University of Michigan.
We thank Michelle Jones of the Office of Continuing Dental Education for coordinating and managing the Presymposium and the Symposium. We also thank Dawn Bielawski for her invaluable work as Copy Editor and Lea Sarment for verifying all citations and references.

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
