Law, state and the family : the politics of child custody.
No full textLaw State and the Family: the Politics of Child
Custody is an examination of the development of law
and legal practices in relation to mothers and the
legal custody of children. It maps the history of
statute law and re-reads legal practice focusing
upon the way in which these practices reproduce and
sustain the conditions of motherhood.
The first section documents the construction of
the infant as a legal subject and the emergence of
mothers legal rights in relation to children under the
nineteenth century Guardianship Acts. The second
section examines debates regarding the role of the
state in the area of children and divorce following
the Second World War. This section also examines
the influence of ideologies of welfare upon the legal
treatment of different categories of children during
this period. In addition, this section also analyses
the limited role which the law plays in the majority
of decisions concerning custody of children following
divorce. The third section documents and analyses
women's experiences of contesting custody of their
children through an empirical study of a sample of
lesbian mothers. The focus is upon both the courts
and legal processes involving lawyers and divorce
court welfare officers. This section reveals the
influences of notions of good mothering and perceptions
of female sexuality upon those legal processes.
The final section is concerned with contemporary
debates in the 1980s regarding the role of the state
generally in the area of children and divorce and
particularly, discussions of the role of law in constructing children's relationships with fathers.
This section addresses the issues of 'joint custody'
of children and conciliation schemes through a
discussion of the implications of these practices in
America. This section concludes with a discussion
of the general trend away from 'law' and legal rules
in this area, towards 'private ordering' in conciliations. Finally, it sets out the implications of
that trend for feminist discussions of future policy
in the area of children and divorce in Britain
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
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
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
The Brophy Kit: A Manual Hemodialysis Device for Neonates
No full textINTRODUCTION: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in critically ill neonates, including very and extremely low birth weight (VLBW, ELBW) neonates. In severe cases, kidney replacement therapy (KRT) may be warranted. Currently, available KRT devices are only indicated for those weighing ≥ 2.5 kg and require a double lumen or 2 separate single lumen catheters. We miniaturized the Kirpa Kit manual dialysis device, naming it the Brophy Kit, and we assessed its in vitro clearance and ultrafiltration (UF) performance. METHODS: We diluted packed red blood cells to a normal hematocrit (Hct: 31.1%-36.8%) and conducted 12 clearance and 3 UF experiments. A cycle consisted of aspirating 10 ml of blood from the blood bag, passing it through a hemofilter, and returning it in a circular path. For clearance experiments, we tested 4 configurations, with varied timing and volume of saline flushes to refresh the dialysis compartment, then measured blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and potassium concentrations every 5 cycles. For each UF cycle, 1 ml of ultrafiltrate was removed, and Hct was measured every 10 cycles. RESULTS: Median BUN and potassium reduction were 31.0% (interquartile range [IQR]: 17.6-37.9) and 35.0% (IQR: 26.9-41.7), respectively, after 30 clearance cycles. Median Hct increased to 52.6% (IQR: 52.5-53.8) after 60 UF cycles, more than the expected Hct (47.7%). CONCLUSION: The Brophy Kit performs in vitro clearance efficiently and UF consistently. The Brophy Kit may address a technological KRT gap for small neonates because of its minimal extracorporeal volume and ability to function with single lumen access
