Humanological Motives for “Philosophy of Human Safety and Security Versus Ontological Constructivism”
Full text linkThe paper starts from the “new poverty of philosophy” and the dominance of ontological (critical) constructivism in security studies, which reduces thinking to mere construction and erases the difference between philosophy and ideology. In contrast, the author develops a humanologically motivated philosophy of security as an attempt to restore the security of thought and regain an authentic understanding of freedom of thought beyond a purely negative concept of freedom. Through a hermeneutical reading of Hobbes’s model of the state of nature and legitimation, the thesis is derived that security is a fundamental, existential interest of the human being, from which both the social state and the concept of a security entity arise. On that basis an entological theory of security is formulated, in which identity, integrity, and sovereignty are the key criteria for the fulfillment of the security interest and the basis for the development of security culture and strategic security culture. In a broader context, the humanological approach allows linking the philosophy of human security with democracy as a communicative community that avoids both the universalist totalitarianism of ideologies and the technocratic governance of people. The philosophy of security thus proves to be an applied philosophy that establishes a feedback loop between theoretical and practical knowledge and offers an integral model for the study of contemporary security phenomena
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
Menadžment ljudskih i društvenih resursa i nacionalna bezbednost
No full textThe paper is concerned with the role of the Managament in the field of National Security. Theoretical framework of the Managament is analised in perspective of the two main aspects, classical and humanological one, which are concerned as possible approaches to improvement of the conception of the National Security. Espaccialy, the role of the Human and Societal resources is concived In corse of introducing an Humanological Model of developing National Security Standards.U tekstu se razmatra uloga menadžmenta u oblasti nacionalne bezbednosti. Analizira se teorijski okvir menadžmenta i to sa stanovišta analize dva glavna aspekta, klasičnog i humanološkog a koji se uzimaju u obzir kao mogući pristupi unapređenju koncepta nacionalne bezbednosti. U radu se naročito sagledava uloga ljudskih i društvenih resursa u razvoju humanološkog modela razvoja nacionalne bezbednosti
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
