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

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
The term diplegia should be enhanced. Part II: contribution to validation of a new rehabilitation oriented classification,
No full textRecent proposals of classification for cerebral palsy (CP), mainly revised for
epidemiological purposes, suggest to abandon the use of the term diplegia.
Conversely, in this paper data are presented to support the proposal to maintain
the distinction between spastic tetraplegia and diplegia, and to subdivide this
latter according to four main clinical patterns of walking observable in these
children. This proposal of classification was validated by testing a group of 467
subjects with CP, of whom 213 with diplegia and 115 with tetraplegia,
consecutively admitted between January 2005 and December 2006 to two national
reference centers for this disability. The results were compared with findings
obtained by other methods of classifying gross and fine motor function and
associated disorders. The subjects with tetraplegia strongly differ from those of
diplegia, both for motor functions and for other disabilities. The four main
walking patterns of spastic diplegia were easily recognizable and observers were
able to assign most of the subjects to one form of the classification.
Significant correlations between walking forms of diplegia and distribution of
Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels were found. Some of the
forms significantly differ also for fine motor and mental disability. These
findings suggest that in clinical practice the category of diplegia not only can
be kept as a separate form of CP, but it may be enhanced, through the
identification of different subcategories of children, divided according to their
walking patterns
