Realism Analysis in Suzanne Collin‟s Novel “Mockingjay”
Full text linkThis thesis was a research about Realism Analysis in Suzanne Collin‟s Novel Mockingjay. The objectives of this research was to found and describe types of realism which viewed from moral realism on utterances in the novel Mockingjay by
using McDowell‟s theory about types of realism. This research used descriptive qualitative method. The source of data was Suzanne Collin‟s Novel Mockingjay, which were published in 2012. In collecting the research data the writer used note taking as her instrument to get the data.
In this novel, the writer found kinds of realism viewed that were from moral realism. They are Moral Requirement Hypothetical Imperative (MRHI), Values and Secondary Qualities (VASQ), Virtues and Reason (VAR). The writer found the author way to perform realism in Suzanne Collin‟s novel “Mockingjay”, from the moral requirement hypothetical imperative Katniss join in the arena to fight district
from President Snow, the second kind is values and secondary qualities where this action is just known by herself. And virtues and reason, Katniss did something for nation because social need it. The implication of this research is to give understanding to the reader that increases their reading and knowledge about realism. The reader and educator should
give more attention to the students in learning English process especially the way to understand literature in the text based on the context
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
Affinities of nutty and green-smelling pyrazines and thiazoles to odorant-binding proteins, in relation with their lipophilicity
No full textThirty-two green- and/or nutty-smelling compounds, most of them pyrazine and thiazole derivatives, were tested in ligand binding assays with purified 19 kDa bovine and 22 kDa porcine olfactive binding proteins (OBPs). Unlike the nutty ones, all the green odorants were found to be good ligands for both proteins. Lipophilicity appears as an interesting discriminating physicochemical parameter, predictive of the affinity for OBPs and of the related odour profile
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
