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
Migrant survivors of conflict-related sexual violence accessing a specialist health service in Turin, Italy: a qualitative analysis of clinical forensic interview transcripts.
Get PDFIntroduction: The Sexual Violence Relief center Soccorso Violenza Sessuale (SVS) is a specialist service, situated in Sant’Anna Hospital, an Obstetrics and Gynecology facility in Turin, North-West Italy. The study aimed to qualitatively analyze the transcripts of interviews routinely conducted by gynecologist and midwife in the first part of the medical examination of migrant patients accessing care at SVS after being subjected to conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) in their home country or during migration and to explore the adverse outcomes of such violence on their health.
Methods: Interview transcripts were purposely selected to include adult migrant patients (age > 18) subjected to CRSV in the different phases of migration and accessing SVS from January 1st, 2014, to September 4th, 2023. Data was extracted from the SVS archive, anonymized, and thematically analyzed.
Results and discussion: In total, 43 interview transcripts were eligible for inclusion. All of them were related to cisgender women of Sub-Saharan origin describing different forms of violence as a driver for migration. CRSV was disclosed by 18 survivors as occurring in their home country and by 31 in transit (e.g., Libya), the most reported type being rape. 49% of the patients described adverse physical outcomes of CRSV, while 72% reported psychological sequelae. The
findings confirm high levels and different modalities of violence throughout the migratory route. Qualitative analysis of interview transcripts served as a valuable source for understanding how survivors described the CRSV they endured, its consequences, as well as other violence encountered during migration
La violenza sessuale legata a conflitti esperita da donne migranti
No full textLa violenza sessuale legata a conflitti (conflict-related sexual violence, CRSV) è una forma di
violenza digenere e una violazione dei diritti umani, in particolare dei diritti sessuali e riproduttivi.
Inoltre, è stata riconosciuta come un problema di salute pubblica e globale. Nel 2022 nel 94% dei casi
di CRSV documentati dalle Nazioni Unite le vittime erano donne o ragazze. Il conflitto e la CRSV
possono provocare flussi migratori. La CRSV influenza negativamente gli aspetti fisici, psicologici e
sociali della salute di survivors. Questi possono essere esacerbati da un tardivo accesso alle cure, che
per le e i survivors migranti talvolta avviene solo nel paese d’arrivo.
Verranno presentati i risultati di uno studio qualitativo condotto analizzando i trascritti del colloquio
costituente la prima delle fasi della documentazione clinico-forense durante la presa in carico di
donne migranti survivors di CRSV presso il Centro Soccorso Violenza Sessuale - SVS del Presidio
Ospedaliero S. Anna di Torino. Verrà messo in evidenza il racconto della violenza, insieme alle
conseguenze negative sulla salute esperite dalle pazienti
Violence against women: findings from a dataset collected in healthcare facilities in Piedmont (North-West Italy)
No full textGender-based violence (GBV) is a violation of human rights, and violence against women is its most widespread manifestation, affecting individuals from all cultures, ethnicities, social classes and age groups. According to the WHO, one in three women worldwide has experienced some form of GBV in her lifetime, and around a third of violence against women is perpetrated by their partner. The WHO has coined the term 'Intimate Partner Violence' (IPV) to describe any violent behaviour within an intimate relationship. IPV is one of the most common forms of violence against women and includes all acts of a physical, sexual, psychological, economic violence that occur in a family or relationship, at times constituting the prelude to femicide.
A study conducted by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights in 2014 found that 22% of women surveyed had suffered physical and/or sexual violence at the hands of their partner, 43% had been victims of psychological violence and 18% had suffered economic violence. In Italy, a telephone survey conducted in the same period by the National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) revealed a similar situation: 22.4% of the female population have suffered psychological violence at the hands of their current partner, 13.6% are or have been victims of physical and/or sexual violence, and around 11.8% of women have suffered some form of physical or sexual violence during pregnancy. The survey also showed
that in Italy partners or ex-partners often are the perpetrators of the most severe forms of violence including femicide.
This presentation will analyse the spread of the phenomenon by presenting the findings from a dataset collected in different healthcare facilities in Piedmont (North-West Italy) concerning different types of violence against women, including intimate partner violence, domestic violence, non-partner violence, physical and psychological violence, drug facilitated sexual assault, sexual violence, abuse during pregnancy, and femicide. It will show how violence accompanies women throughout their lives and how often it is perpetrated by a partner or ex-partner or an acquaintance, regardless of the form of violence suffered, compared to violence perpetrated by an unknown person. It will also display
how cross-cutting GBV is, affecting populations from different age groups, geographical origins, pregnancy status, and other marginalized identities
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
