Power Through Repose
Get PDFAnnie Payson Call's classic guide, Power Through Repose, addresses the endemic problem of "Americanitis" and nervous strain, arguing that the exhaustion prevalent in modern life stems not from overwork itself, but from the unconscious, superfluous tension and misuse of the body and nervous force. Challenging the reliance on passive rest-cures and medicines, Call offers a systematic, step-by-step training process for achieving true, restorative repose, teaching readers how to fully relax the muscles—even during sleep—and maintain a true economy of effort in both physical and mental activity. By advocating for a conscious and rational obedience to Nature's laws, this book provides essential methods for training the mind and body to release tension, regain vital energy, and ultimately achieve a state of inner freedom and powerful, effortless control.Annie Payson Call'un klasik rehberi Power Through Repose (Dinginlikle Gelen Güç), "Amerikanit" olarak adlandırılan yaygın sinirsel gerginlik sorununu ele almakta ve modern yaşamdaki tükenmişliğin aşırı çalışmaktan değil, vücudun ve sinir gücünün bilinçsiz, gereksiz gerilimi ve yanlış kullanımından kaynaklandığını savunmaktadır. Pasif dinlenme tedavilerine ve ilaçlara bel bağlanmasını eleştiren Call, gerçek ve onarıcı dinginliğe ulaşmak için sistematik, adım adım bir eğitim süreci sunarak okuyuculara kasları tamamen nasıl gevşeteceklerini—uyku sırasında bile—ve hem fiziksel hem de zihinsel aktivitede gerçek bir çaba ekonomisini nasıl sürdüreceklerini öğretmektedir. Bu kitap, Doğa'nın yasalarına bilinçli ve rasyonel bir şekilde itaat etmeyi savunarak, gerilimi serbest bırakmak, yaşamsal enerjiyi geri kazanmak ve nihayetinde içsel bir özgürlük ve güçlü, zahmetsiz bir kontrol durumuna ulaşmak için temel yöntemler sunmaktadır
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
