Variations on the Author
No full text“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
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
Intelligence of serial killers
No full textV teoretičnem delu diplomske naloge najprej obravnavamo inteligenco, pri čemer nas zanima sam pomen pojma inteligence, njen izvor, razvoj skozi različna starostna obdobja človekovega življenja, primanjkljaje, ki jih nižji ali višji IQ predstavlja za človeka, njena interakcija s socialnim okoljem, kot pospeševalcem slabosti ali prednosti predeterminiranih genetskih lastnosti in nadaljnje usmeritve in predlogi raziskovalnega dela. Poleg inteligence obravnavamo serijske morilce, ki jih po kratkem uvodu v zgodovino tudi razčlenimo na različne tipe, opišemo njihove lastnosti, razložimo sociološke in psihološke teorije o njihovem nastanku in kasnejšem delovanju, omenimo metode preiskovanja serijskih umorov, in sicer metode vedenjskega in geografskega profiliranja.
V razpravi diplomske naloge raziskujemo povezavo med inteligenco in serijskimi morilci. Pri iskanju odgovorov nam postavljajo smernice postavljene hipoteze in naše glavno raziskovalno vprašanje. Skozi raziskavo domače in tuje literature poskušamo najti odgovor, ali in kako stopnja inteligence vpliva na način izvrševanja umora pri serijskih morilcih. Na podlagi ugotovitev podamo predloge in usmeritve za nadaljnjo raziskovalno delo ter predloge za ukrepe, ki bi lahko pripomogli k zmanjšanju nastanka serijskih morilcev.In theorethical part of the thesis we first discuss intelligence, with the very interest of the meaning of its concept, its origin, the development through different age periods of human life, the deficits that lower or higher IQ represents for man, its interaction with the social environment, as a promoter of weaknesses or the advantages of predetermined genetic traits and further orientations and suggestions of research work. In addition to intelligence, we are dealing with serial killers, who are also classified into different types after a short introduction to history, describing their characteristics, explaining the sociological and psychological theories of their origin and subsequent activity, methods of investigating serial killings, which consists of methods of behavioral and geographical profiling.
In discussion part of the thesis, we explore the link between intelligence and serial killers. In search of answers, we are guided by our hypothesis and main research question. Through the study of domestic and foreign literature, we try to find the answer, if and to what extent the level of intelligence affects the way in which murders are committed by serial killers. Based on our findings, we provide suggestions and guidelines for further research work and suggestions for measures that could help reduce the occurence of serial killers

O książce ilustrowanej – rozważania i refleksje Bohdana Butenki
No full textOn an Illustrated Book – Bohdan Butenko’s Deliberations and Reflections A book affects the reader through its verbal and visual strata. Bohdan Butenko is one of the artists who always respect the unity of the text and picture. Himself a graduate from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and a disciple of Marcin Szancer, a co-founder of the “Polish school of illustration”, he illustrated over 200 books mainly for children and teenagers, treating each of them as a separate artistic composition. Research of contemporary illustrators relies on interviews and reviews, which help to confront artists’ work with the opinions of the recipients of their creative ef-forts. Bohdan Butenko readily comments his work both in professional magazines and daily press. An essential element of his work is being in touch with the reader. The artist gives many valuable tips on illustrating books and their composition, emphasising the role of illustrator as a co-creator of a book, who enjoys an equal status with its author. The artist’s reflections are so much more valuable that books with a characteristic “Butenko pinxit” on the cover are always present on the publishing market and receive numerous awards.On an Illustrated Book – Bohdan Butenko’s Deliberations and Reflections A book affects the reader through its verbal and visual strata.

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
