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
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
International leasing
Get PDFPogodba o leasingu je inominatna pogodba, ki v slovenskem pravnem redu ni zakonsko normirana oziroma urejena kot posebni pogodbeni tip, enako kot v večini pravnih redov. Obstajajo različna stališča o tem, ali bi bilo možno pogodbo o leasingu podrediti pod katero od zakonsko urejenih pogodb. Eden izmed prevladujočih razlogov, ki govori proti možnosti podrejanja pogodbe o leasingu pod zakonsko urejene nominatne pogodbene tipe je ta, da se, kot že rečeno, pogodba o leasingu pojavlja v raznovrstnih različicah (modalitetah), ki jo oblikujejo zahteve poslovne prakse. Te različice (modalitete) pogodbe o leasingu pa se ne razlikujejo le v podrobnostih, temveč gre tudi za pogodbe z različno pravno naravo. Za pravilno opredelitev pravne narave leasinga je treba ločiti pravne in ekonomske elemente posla. Ekonomske značilnosti pogodbe, posebej način financiranja, govore le o kavzi pogodbe, ne pa o njeni pravni naravi. Pravno gledano gre za inominatno pogodbo civilnega prava, za katero uporabljamo pravila, ki veljajo za klasične nominatne pogodbe civilnega in gospodarskega pogodbenega prava. V pogodbah o finančnem leasingu, ki se pojavljajo v vrstah različic, se prepletajo elementi najemne in prodajne pogodbe. Pri presoji pravne narave konkretne pogodbe je zato ob upoštevanju tipološke pogodbene svobode treba izhajati iz dogovora strank v konkretnem pogodbenem razmerju.
Mednarodni leasing se je skozi leta v praksi dodobra uveljavil kot pomembna oblika mednarodnega financiranja storitev in dobrin. Kljub temu pa je mogoče zaznati vsesplošno pomanjkanje informacij, literature, strokovnih monografij in ostalih relevantnih podatkov na temo mednarodnega leasinga, kar lahko zavira še uspešnejšo uveljavljanje navedene oblike financiranja v praksi, oziroma usmerja gospodarske subjekte proti ostalim oblikam financiranja. Pri mednarodnem leasingu gre za postopek mednarodne transakcije, kjer se pravica do uporabe predmeta leasinga prenese neposredno ali posredno od lastnika/leasingodajalca (neposredni ali posredni leasing) iz enega pravnega reda, do uporabnika/leasingojemalca iz drugega pravnega reda, brez spremembe lastninske pravice na predmetu pogodbe, za pogodbeno določeno časovno obdobje, v katerem pride do polne amortizacije opreme, dane v leasing. Temeljna obveznost leasingojemalca v tem obdobju je plačevanje leasinških obrokov napram lastniku/leasingodajalcu.
Magistrsko delo sistematično obravnava in primerja instituta domačega in mednarodnega leasinga. Zaradi boljšega razumevanja slednjega, je bralcu podrobno predstavljena temeljna zasnova in razvoj instituta leasinga, prikaz njegovih pojavnih oblik in razvrstitev le teh. Osrednji del magistrskega dela predstavlja analiza instituta mednarodnega leasinga, ki je v teoriji in praksi zelo skromno raziskan. Bralcu skuša na zgoščen način predstaviti ključne teoretične koncepte samega instituta, njegovo zgodovino uporabe, in tudi različne pojavne oblike, ki so se razvile v mednarodni poslovni praksi.A leasing contract is an innominate contract, which is not regulated by law or regulated as a special type of contract in the Slovenian legal order, as in most legal orders. There are different views on whether the leasing contract could be subordinated to any of the statutory contracts. One of the prevailing reasons against the possibility of subordinating the leasing contract to the statutory nominee contract types is that, as already mentioned, the leasing contract appears in a variety of variations (modalities) shaped by the requirements of commercial practice. These variations (modalities) of the leasing contract do not only differ in their details but are also contracts of a different legal nature. To correctly identify the legal nature of a lease, it is necessary to distinguish between the legal and economic elements of the transaction. The economic features of the contract, in particular the method of financing, speak only of the contract\u27s covenant, not of its legal nature. Legally speaking, it is an innominate contract governed by civil law, to which we apply the rules applicable to classic nominate contracts governed by civil and commercial contract law. Finance lease contracts, which come in several variations, intertwine elements of a lease and a sale contract. In assessing the legal nature of a particular contract, it is therefore necessary, having regard to the typological freedom of contract, to take account of the agreement of the parties in the particular contractual relationship.
Over the years, international leasing has become well established in practice as an important form of international financing of services and goods. However, there is a general lack of information, literature, expert monographs, and other relevant data on international leasing, which may hinder the more successful implementation of this form of financing in practice, or steer economic operators towards other forms of financing. International leasing is an international transaction process where the right to use the leased asset is transferred directly or indirectly from the owner/lessor (direct or indirect leasing) in one jurisdiction to the user/lessee in another jurisdiction, without any change in the ownership of the asset, for a contractually defined period of time during which the equipment leased is fully depreciated. The lessee\u27s primary obligation during this period shall be to pay the lease instalments to the owner/lessor.
The master thesis systematically discusses and compares the institutes of domestic and international leasing. In order to provide the reader with a better understanding of the latter, the basic conception and development of the leasing institution is presented in detail, as well as an illustration of its various forms and their classification. The main part of the Master\u27s thesis is an analysis of the international leasing institution, which has been very little researched in theory and practice. It attempts to provide the reader with a concise presentation of the key theoretical concepts of the institute itself, its history of application, and the various forms that have developed in international business practice
The legal position of a limited partner
Get PDFKomanditna družba je osebna družba, v kateri se združujeta dve vrsti družbenikov, pri kateri ima vsak od njiju različni vlogi. Po temeljni zasnovi je upravljanje družbe v rokah komplementarjev, kapital pa družbi zagotavljajo komanditisti. Komplementarji so za obveznosti družbe osebno in neomejeno odgovorni, komanditisti pa praviloma za obveznosti družbe ne odgovarjajo. Za urejanje notranjih pravnih razmerij med družbeniki velja načelo pogodbene svobode, tako da lahko ta razmerja uredijo družbeniki z družbeno pogodbo drugače, kot jih ureja zakon. Nasprotno pa pri pravnih razmerij družbenikov do tretjih velja kogentna pravna ureditev, predvsem zato, da se varujejo interesi upnikov in varnosti pravnega prometa.
Diplomsko delo sistematično obravnava pravni položaj komanditista, vključno z njegovimi specifikami, ob tem pa ga tudi primerja s pravnim položajem komplementarja. V uvodu je predstavljena zgodovina komanditne družbe, ki sega v čas srednjega veka, in njen razvoj do današnjega časa. Sledi obravnava nomotehnične ureditve pravnega položaja komanditista, ki se razlikuje od nomotehnične ureditve pravnega položaja komplementarja, saj se zanj uporabljajo določbe, ki veljajo za položaj družbenika v d.n.o. Pravni položaj komanditista je izrecno urejen v poglavju o k.d. V nadaljevanju je predstavljena ustanovitev same k.d. in njeno preoblikovanje, do katerega pride v primeru sprememb personalnega substrata družbe.
Osrednji del diplomskega dela predstavlja analiza posebnosti pravnega položaja komanditista v luči zakonskih določb ZGD-1 v poglavju o k.d. Analiza je razdeljena na dva dela, in sicer na analizo posebnosti pravnega položaja komanditista v notranjih pravnih razmerjih s komplementarjem in na analizo posebnosti v zunanjih pravnih razmerjih komanditista do tretjih oseb. Posamezni instituti so predstavljeni in primerjani z nemškim pravnim redom, saj je temeljna zasnova k.d. prevzeta iz nemškega prava, če izvzamemo ureditev o pravni osebnosti družbe in izključitvi komanditista iz vodenja družbe.A limited partnership is a type of unlimited company, in which two types of partners are joined, each of them having a different role. On the fundamental concept, managing a partnership is entrusted to general partners, while the capital is provided by limited partners. General partners are liable for a partnership’s obligations personally and with all their assets. In most cases limited partners are not liable for partnership’s obligations. For regulating internal legal relations between partners, there is a principle of a contractual freedom, which means that these relations can be regulated by partners with a partnership agreement differently than is prescribed by law. However, for legal relations between partners and third parties a peremptory norm is valid, mostly to protect the interests of creditors and the safety of legal transactions.
My thesis systematically deals with the legal position of a limited partner, including its specifics, while at the same time comparing it with the legal position of a general partner. In the introduction, the history of a limited partnership is presented, which dates back to the middle ages, following the development of a limited partnership up to the present day. This is followed by handling a nomotechnical regulation of a limited partner’s legal position which differs from a nomotechnical regulation of a general partner’s legal position. As we know, for a general partner’s legal position there are provisions which are valid for the position of a partnership’s partner. The legal position of a limited partner is specifically dealt with in the chapter about limited partnership. This is continued by the presentation of the founding of a limited partnership itself and its transformation, which is possible in case of the changes of partners.
In the main part of my thesis, an analysis of the specifics of a limited partner’s legal position in the light of statutory provisions ZGD-1, chapter about limited partnership, is presented. The analysis is divided into two parts, namely the analysis of a limited partner’s legal position in internal legal relations with a general partner, and the analysis of the specifics in a limited partner’s external legal relations towards third parties. Individual institutes are presented and compared to the German legal system, because the fundamental concept of a limited partnership originates in German law, excluding the regulation of a company’s legal entity and the regulation of the exclusion of a limited partner from partnership’s management
