Seksuele toestemming over de grenzen heen
No full textAs Belgium is flaunting its new legislation in sexual penal law, placing consent at the centre
of sexual crimes, several European countries have also felt the need to reform. More
and more countries are making a switch from the coercion model to the consent model,
under the influence of both the Treaty of Istanbul and the #MeToo movement. There is,
however, not one single definition of consent. It entails many variables, from ‘no means no’
to the other end of the spectrum with ‘yes means yes’. As Belgium has moved towards a
middle ground, the legislation of several European countries is studied and compared using
the notion of consent within the offences of rape and sexual assault. Research shows
that, while France is not up for a change and Germany is only taking its first steps towards
a consent model, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden are introducing more resolute
changes, challenging the borders of the ‘yes means yes’-vision. Valuable lessons can be
drawn from the evaluation of these changes, which could be implemented in the future
Nieuwe generatie, oude normaal : de invloed van seksuele scripts op de normalisering van grensoverschrijding
No full textStaggering prevalence figures reveal the presence of sexual harassment among Flemish
youth. Shrugging this behaviour off facilitates a culture of normalisation. When looking
for the origin of this normalisation culture, researchers have come across heteronormative
gender roles that can be framed in the traditional heterosexual script. The aim of this
research is to uncover the role that sexual scripts play in experiencing and interpreting
physical sexual harassment. By conducting 14 semi-structured in-depth interviews, the
sexual scripts and perceptions of physical sexual harassment among Flemish youngsters
were questioned. Results showed that most of the adolescents had internalised a mixed
script that contained both elements of the traditional script as well as more modern, egalitarian
scripts. There are however still strong indicators for the presence of traditional
courtship strategies and the sexual double standard. Adolescents and their environment
who internalised a traditional script, were more likely to normalise physical sexual harassment
than youngsters with mixed scripts. However, sexual harassment at parties seems
to be universally normalised to the point at least half of the girls interviewed felt unsafe.
Further research needs to be conducted on this phenomenon and the ways sexual scripts
can be influenced to create a shift towards more egalitarian scripts
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
De rol van seksuele scripts in seksueel grensoverschrijdend gedrag
No full textEén op tee Vlaamse jongeren met seksuele ervaring werd al ongewenst aangeraakt. Ook generatie Z worstelt duidelijk met seksueel grensoverschrijdend gedrag, en zowel daders als slachtoffers reageren vaak schouderophalend of berustend. Die banalisering aanpakken vergt o.m. een bijstelling van de kijk van jongeren op relaties, genernormen en seksualiteit. ie wordt sterk bepaald door hun seksuele scripts - cultureel voorgeschreven en genderspecifieke scenario's voor seksueel contact
