Susie L. Meyers Bobb letters, MSS.3658
No full textAbstract: Correspondence between family and friends of the Bobb, Raymond, and Meyers families of Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Iowa. The letters date from 1873-1922, and most of them are written to Susie L. Meyers Bobb, who was likely also Susie L. Raymond.Scope and Content Note: Contains letters written to and from various members of the Bobb, Raymond, and Meyers families of Illinois, Iowa, and Pennsylvania. Most of the letters are written to Susie L. Meyers, who was later Susie L. Bobb. There are also letters to a Susie L. Raymond, who is probably the same woman. Susie's sister Anna Meyers Yarger wrote a number of the letters. The letters discuss family and community life.Biographical/Historical Note: Susie L. Meyers, daughter of Reuben and Sarah Meyers, was born in 1867 in Illinois. She married Eugene Bobb around 1897 or 1898. Eugene Bobb was one of two surviving sons of Dr. Daniel and Arminda Bobb of Dakota, Illinois. Eugene's surviving brother was Dwight. Eugene had previously married Lillie Clump, who died in 1897. Susie Meyers Bobb most likely was previously married to an Austin Raymond

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?
No full textIn this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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

Fundamentos da teoria juridica em Norberto Bobbio
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Ciencias JuridicasDentre as questões importantes, controvertidas e que seguem atuais no campo do saber jurídico, encontramos aquela que indaga "por quais motivos o direito obriga, de onde extrai sua validade". Em princípio, tema que pode ser objeto de várias disciplinas, se apresenta neste trabalho como um problema de filosofia jurídica e de teoria geral do direito, remetendo às fontes e aos fundamentos do saber jurídico. Para uns, o direito obriga por acreditar-se, em princípio, que ele pode ser justo; para outros, porque ele advém de uma autoridade estatal e institucionalizada. Os primeiros, se enquadram nas denominadas teorias do direito natural ou jusnaturalistas; os segundos, nas denominadas teorias do positivismo jurídico. Os jusnaturalistas encontram sua justificação na fé, na crendice ou em algum conceito de natureza das coisas; os positivistas, numa dada racionalidade formal e argumentativa que vem sendo edificada desde HOBBES, KANT e outros. Afim de estudar este tema foi que nos voltamos para a teoria jurídica neoempirista de NORBERTO BOBBIO, - também denominada de "novo racionalismo"- que visa a uma aproximação das liberdades formais com as igualdades substanciais, numa síntese entre positivismo jurídico e jusnaturalismo. Como se pretendeu demonstrar, uma hermenêutica crítica do direito e do estado que se empenhe na resposta dos "porquês" da obrigação jurídica, da validade do direito, deve buscar uma resposta mediada entre o jusnaturalismo e o positivismo jurídico. Acentuando, contudo, a proeminência de um direito advindo da autoridade jurídico-política do estado, da impossibilidade de uma liberdade e de uma justiça puramente natural. Muito embora as críticas de vários setores, essa cultura jurídico-instituída vem impondo algo de essencial às comunidades: a restrição ao exercício do poder e parâmetros mínimos para a determinação do justo. Com efeito, constatou-se que os postulados neoempiristas da teoria jurídica em BOBBIO levam à discussão de uma metodologia na própria obra de BOBBIO, que tem por escopo a idéia de justiça e de democracia, e que, portanto, demonstra que o direito obriga por razões políticas vinculadas à estruturação da sociedade moderna
