David Marshall and the Struggle for Civil Rights in Singapore
No full textThis paper looks at the career of David Marshall during the years in which he was a\ud
"peripheral politician", as Chan Heng Chee has called him. It was in these years that\ud
his commitment to the causes of human rights and civil rights in Singapore came to\ud
the fore. During his career as an opposition politician and later as a barrister he\ud
regularly championed the causes of freedom of speech and freedom of conscience in\ud
Singapore. He stood against increasing odds for the rights of those who were detained\ud
without trial and who were persecuted for their political beliefs.\ud
His career between 1956 and 1972 saw him take a leading role in a number of\ud
significant issues. These included his opposition to the government’s move to\ud
eliminate trial by jury in Singapore; his campaign for humane treatment for the\ud
detainees of Operation Cold Store; and his defense of freedom of the press when\ud
government critics were arrested, among other actions. This paper will look at\ud
Marshall’s role in these three occasions and evaluate his contribution to the practice\ud
of politics in Singapore and will evaluate the long term impact of his defense of the\ud
rule of law. It will be based on an examination of his speeches and on the materials in\ud
the David Marshall papers

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
Interview with Carl A. Osborne
No full textDr. Carl Osborne served as a professor at University of Minnesota in the School of Veterinary Medicine beginning in 1964. He simultaneously pursued a doctorate, researching the urinary tract, and completed his degree in 1970. Dr. Osborne held a joint appointment with the Department of Pediatrics in the 1970s, working with the pediatric nephrology division. During his time at the University, Dr. Osborne has held several leadership positions, including Chair of Small Animal Clinical Sciences Department from 1976 to 1984 and Chair of the Companion Animals Department. He began the Minnesota Urolith Center in 1984, which continues to research the prevention of and cures for diseases of the urinary system in companion animals. Dr. Osborne has also earned many teaching and research awards over the course of his career, including the Distinguished Teacher Award, and continues to serve on the University's faculty.Dr. Carl Osborne begins with his upbringing, educational background, and childhood relationships with animals. He earned his DVM at Purdue University and took a tenure-track position at the University of Minnesota while he pursued his PhD with a research focus in the urinary tract. He discusses his early years in the Department of Veterinary Medicine, including W. T. S. Thorp’s tenure as dean. He also recounts the relationship of the department to the state legislature in working with large animals and the political influence of the rural population of the state. He describes the potential for retrenchment of the Vet School that occurred in 1988. In reflecting on his time as a researcher, clinician, and teacher, Dr. Osborne shares his philosophies on life, teaching, and veterinary medicine. He describes the leadership changes within and the politics of the school, exploring some of the conflicts that arose over the course of his career. In discussing changing leadership, Dr. Osborne also comments on his own leadership roles. He then describes the internal and external relationships of the vet school, in aligning itself with the Academic Health Center and establishing reciprocity with the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Osborne returns to discussions of leadership within the school in describing the tenures of deans Sidney Ewing, David Thawley, and Bob Dunlop. In returning to his role within the department as clinician, researcher, and teacher, Dr. Osborne again shares his philosophy of veterinary medicine.Tobbell, Dominique A.; Osborne, Carl A.. (2011).

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
