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
Dissociative identity disorder in forensic field: Case report and literature review
No full textDissociative identity disorder is characterized by the disintegration of identity into two or more distinct personality states and the inability to recall everyday events, important personal information, and/or traumatic events. The distinctive elements, which constitute the core symptoms of the disorder, are identity confusion, identity alteration, and amnesia. We present the case of a 47yearold man who contacted a hitman to kill his wife's motherinlaw. After being arrested, the man claimed to know nothing about the affair and to be possessed by his fatherinlaw, who had died a few years earlier in a car accident. According to the defendant's narration, the fatherinlaw possessed the man and planned the death of his daughter and wife in revenge. A forensic psychopathological evaluation was performed to determine whether the man was suffering from DID or whether he was simulating possession. the assessment of these cases remains a very complex challenge from a medicolegal point of view and for court decisions. The assessment of the patient should be carried out by several independent psychiatrists by means of multiple tests (i.e. Dissociative Experiences Scale, Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule, selfassessment questionnaires, analysis of verbal and nonverbal behaviour) and a multidisciplinary approach. In this way, an evidencebased approach can be developed to answer the fundamental question: how to distinguish real pathology from a simulation?
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

La Dirección Provincial de Responsabilidad Fiscal en la Provincia de Santa Cruz
No full textLa provincia de Santa Cruz se encuentra adherida a la ley N° 25.917 de Responsabilidad Fiscal por ley N° 2.733/2004, y a su modificatoria, ley N° 27.428 de Responsabilidad Fiscal y Buenas Prácticas de Gobierno, por ley N° 3.587/2018.\nSin embargo, no fue hasta mediados de 2021 que la provincia sanciono su ley de Administración Financiera y de los Sistemas de Control del Sector Publico Provincial por ley N° 3.755, modificada y reglamentada en 2022 por ley N° 3.810 y decreto reglamentario N° 1.678 y entrada en vigencia a partir del 1 de enero de 2023.\nPrevio a esto, para dar cumplimiento a los requerimientos de la ley de Responsabilidad Fiscal, y ante la falta de un marco normativo acorde, la provincia de Santa Cruz crea en el año 2010 la Dirección Provincial de Responsabilidad Fiscal, dependiente de la Secretaría de Estado de Hacienda y Crédito Público. La sanción por parte de la Provincia de Santa Cruz, de la ley N° 3.755 de Administración Financiera y de los Sistemas de Control del Sector Publico Provincial, y su modificatoria, ley N° 3.810, nos obliga a replantearnos el papel que la Dirección Provincial de Responsabilidad Fiscal debería cumplir bajo este nuevo marco normativo.\nEl objetivo del presente trabajo es, en primer lugar, proponer un nuevo esquema de trabajo para la Dirección Provincial de Responsabilidad Fiscal, más acorde a las misiones y funciones para las que fue creada y, en segundo lugar, tratar de determinar bajo el nuevo esquema de la ley de Administración Financiera y de los Sistemas de Control del Sector Publico Provincial, las distintas competencias en cuanto a la producción de la información fiscal.\nEn este sentido, resulta necesario, que las distintas jurisdicciones y entidades sean capaces no solo de captar y registrar los datos, sino también de analizarlos y producir su propia información fiscal. En este contexto, la Dirección Provincial de Responsabilidad Fiscal, cumpliría un rol de asistencia técnica y asesoramiento a los jurisdicciones y entidades con el fin de que puedan cumplimentar con este objetivo.Fil: Colombo, Claudia Vanesa.
