Armed violence and poverty in Somalia: a case study for the Armed Violence and Poverty Initiative
No full textYesThis report on Somalia is one of 13 case studies. This research draws upon secondary data sources including existing research studies, reports and evaluations commissioned by operational agencies, and early warning and survey data where this has been available. These secondary sources have been complemented by interviews with government officers, aid policymakers and practitioners, researchers and members of the local population. This work was carried out in Nairobi in February and September 2004. The author would like to thank the many Somali, international NGOs, UN and donor bodies based there. The report has also benefited greatly from inputs from Dr June Rock. The author would also like to thank Mark Bradbury and Reg Green for comments on an earlier draft; however, they are not responsible for any shortcomings in this final version. The analysis and opinions expressed in this report are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views or policy of DFID or the UK government

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?
No full textIn this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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

Near-infrared photobiomodulation therapy on HD10.6 human sensory neurons cell culture
No full textPURPOSE: We investigated the molecular effects of near-infrared photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) on HD10.6 human sensory neuron cell cultures. This study explores the utility of PBMT in modulating the functionality of sensory neurons in vitro with a potential translational effect on analgesia, a significant concern in clinical settings, particularly in pediatrics where non-invasive treatments are crucial. METHODS: HD10.6 human sensory neuron cell model was employed in the study. The 800 and 970 PBMT was tested on the cells and mitochondria related parameters and TRP channel functionality were evaluated after irradiation. RESULTS: We found that PBMT affects mitochondrial dynamics and reduces oxidative stress, influenced calcium ion flow, pivotal in nociception signaling, and modified the expression of TRPV1 and TRPA1 receptors post-irradiation. CONCLUSIONS: This study observed a potential impact of PBMT on sensory neurons through various cellular mechanisms. These findings may contribute to the understanding of PBMT's mechanistic effects on human sensory neurons, not yet explored in in-vitro model, pointing to its potential utility as a supportive treatment for non-invasive pain management in pediatric care
