South African Medical Journal, 71:533-534.The original publication is available at http://www.samj.org.zaEosinophilic cystitis is a rare condition, only 41 cases having been recorded in the literature. Glanzmann's thrombasthenia has been documented more than 100 times. The presence of these two conditions in one patient has, to our knowledge, not yet been reported in the English-language literature.Publisher’s versio
Die geskiedenis van die ontwikkeling van die onderwys in die distrik Winburg
No full textAfrikaans: Winburg, as eerste Voortrekkersdorp in die Oranje-Vrystaat, het vir ons nog altyd 'n mate van bekoring gehad (want byna elke klip en steen herinner ons aan 'n romantiese verlede), wat verder verskerp is deur ons liefde vir die geskiedenis van die Voortrekker-voorgeslagte en vir die baanbrekerswerk deur hulle verrig. Dit was dan ook aangenaam om in die stofbedekte verlede te gaan delf en aan die roepstem om meer te weet aangaande sy onderwysaangeleenthede, gehoor te gee
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
Die geskiedenis van die St. Andrew-skool, Bloemfontein
No full textVerhandeling (M.Ed.(Opvoedkunde))--Universiteit van die Vrystaat, 1953Die geskiedenis van die St. Andrew-skool kan in twee duidelike tydperke afgebaken word. Die skool is in 1863 gestig en alhoewel dit soms maar 'n wankelbare bestaan gevoer het, het dit bly voortbestaan tot in 1899 toe dit kort na die uitbreek van die oorlog gesluit is. Daar is herhaaldelik pogings aangewend om die skool in die daaropvolgende Jare te heropen, maar weens 'n gebrek aan fondse kon nie een van hierdie pogings slaag nie. Dit was eers in 1916 dat die Engelse gemeenskap vir hulle volgehoue stryd beloon is. Teen die einde van die jaar is daar weer met die St. Andrew-skool 'n begin gemaak.
In die 19e eeu moes daar dikwels aan die kant van die Anglikaanse Kerk groot opofferings gemaak word om die skool aan die gang te hou. Ten spyte van die felt dat daar skynbaar 'n baie goeie gesindheid tussen lede van die Volksraad en die Raad van Opvoeding, die liggaam wat in beheer van die St. Andrew-kollege was, bestaan het, is die versoekskrifte om staatsondersteuning vir die skool meestal van die hand gewys. Af en toe is klein toelaes die skool aangebied, maar die grootste deel van die onkoste moes deur die Anglikaanse Kerk, wat natuurlik groot steun uit Engeland geniet het, gedra word. Die gevolg was dat die skool, wat gedurig in mededinging met die staatsondersteunde Grey-kollege was en gevolglik die skoolgelde so laag moontlik moes hou, in die maer jare maar noustrop getrek het.
Die goeie werk en dienste wat deur die skool tot die opvoeding van die jeug gelewer is, tesame met die tradisie wat deur die jare opgebou is, behoort daartoe aanleiding te gee dat die skool nog meer vrugte in die toekoms afwerp as wat in die verlede die geval was
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
