Police Science or Sence about Police?
No full textOne of the most significant features of the social life of the modern
epoch, are both increasing of the political factor and the role of the scientific
knowledge of the society in guiding social processes. It is an affirmation of
two independent tendencies. These processes are mutually intertwined.
Among them there are numerous of close ties and mutual influences with
different effects for each of them separately and for the social movement as a
whole.
In the relationship between politics and science there are several
different situations. In some conditions arise mutual incentives; the other
comes up to tensions, disagreements and even confrontation. Politics and
social-scientific though are playing one of the most important role mainly
through the direct facing, interacting or colliding, dealing with one other, so
that their mutual behavior becomes a significant social problem
The Discouse Analysis as a Research Procedure
No full textThe actualizing of the discourse analysis (analysis of the discourse, debate,
conversation) especially in the researching of security issues is subject of this paper. The
name discourse analysis is a common name for different approaches that refer to the
critical linguistics, the social semiotics or the critical linguistic analysis, then it is related to
the theoretical tradition developed under the influence of the ethno methodology and the
‗conversational analysis‘. The account is the smallest unit for analysis of the discourse.
The terms in the discourse analysis provide more concrete understanding of what is
primarily in the practice and the analysis of the discourse.
This paper actualizes the question of whether the analysis of the debate provides a detailed
generalization. Then, whether it is representative and what is the representation about. The
analyst is interested in the text, its function rather than its representation and what safety
and reliability of the data is like?
Key words: discourse analysis, data safety, security, ethno methodolog
Socialization and adaptation in the perceptions of the citizens of Republic of Macedonia regarding police work
Full text linkContemporary approaches - when treating socialization as a phenomenon -
appear within the altered research paradigms and considerably altered context of
the contemporary social and particularly political events. The socialization issue
becomes a matter of interest when there is interest in science directed towards
defining the consequences and their impact on the individual behavior regarding
the functioning of the institutions and the system as a whole. The constant and
systematic research of socialization started within the social, and particularly
criminal and other sciences. Therefore, the definitions about socialization,
especially the political one, are quite important in this work and have no tendencies
of being comprehensive. They comprise all roles and emphasize the necessity of
interdisciplinary approach.
Socialization is a process of social learning in which individuals and the
social groups gain relatively permanent orientations and forms of behavior
regarding institutions, processes and values.
This work analyzes the research results from the citizens’ attitudes
regarding the work of the police, and in my personal opinion, the issues regarding
the orientations, processes and values expressed through the process of
socialization will be emphasized. In this context we will focus on the research
results which refer to identification of the individuals with the police, their role,
forms of loyalty, and the general perceptions of the police within the society.
Key words: socialization, political socialization, identifications, values,
processes, institutions
High-resolution stratigraphic framework for Mediterranean sapropel S5: defining temporal relationships between records of Eemian climate variability
No full textA high-resolution stratigraphic framework is presented for sapropel S5, which represents the low-mid latitude climate optimum of the previous interglacial period (Eemian). The framework is based on three sites along a transect from west to east through the eastern Mediterranean, and is further validated using a fourth site. This method allows expression of S5-based proxy records of Eemian climate variability along a standardised depth scale that offers unprecedented possibilities for assessment of spatial gradients and signal leads and lags in an interval where high-resolution (radiocarbon-style) dating cannot be performed. Our lateral comparison of S5 sapropels suggests that the onset of S5 in ODP site 967C (Eratosthenes seamount) was 1–6 centuries delayed relative to the onsets in more westerly sites
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
