Interview with Ian Dawson
No full textArtist Boss presents a series of illustrated interviews with Anthony Caro's (1924-2013) studio assistants and critical essays that explore the role of artists' assistants to raise questions concerning the status of production, originality, authenticity, and authorship within the tradition of twentieth-century British sculpture. From varied backgrounds, the assistants' responses illustrate the different ways in which the evolution of sculptural language has been negotiated. They provide immediate access to artists' thought processes and an insight into the complexity of changing roles. Collectively they reflect and offer a range of perspectives on the frequently contentious and widely discussed role of the artist s assistant and modes of sculptural production. Contributors include: Anthony Caro, Guy Martin, James Wolfe (US), Willard Boepple (US), Andre Fauteux (Canada), John Gibbons, Jon Isherwood (US), Shaun Cassidy (US), Ian Dawson, Beth Cullen-Kerridge, Gavin Morris, Tim Peacock, Hywel Livingstone, Jonathan Gilderleeves, William Fausset, Patrick Cunningham, Olivia Bax, Neil Ayling & John Wallbank. Forewords by Tim Marlow and Karen Wilkin Essays by Jenny Dunseath and Mark Wilsher, Dr Michael Petry, Prof K P Cross and Sam Cornis
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
Worker perceptions of disaster risk management in Saudi Arabian hospitals
No full textIn the wake of global health crises, effective Disaster Risk Management (DRM) in healthcare has become more crucial than ever to ensure the continuity of medical services during disasters. In this context, the role of Healthcare Workers (HCWs), including doctors, nurses, and administrators, is pivotal across all DRM phases: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Their experiences and knowledge can provide meaningful insights into the effectiveness of current practices and identify the pathway for future improvements.We conducted two studies that assessed HCWs' perceptions regarding the effectiveness of DRM in Saudi Arabian public hospitals. The first study identified that perceptions of DRM efficacy varied among HCWs, with approximately 42% perceiving it as ineffective. Perceptions significantly differed across DRM phases: 36.5% found it ineffective in mitigation, 45.6% in preparedness, 40.2% in response, and 45.5% in recovery. Notably, there were significant regional variations, with the Central region perceived as the most effective, the Eastern and Western regions, and the Southern region as the least effective. These findings highlighted the need for a deeper understanding of the reasons behind these variations.To build upon the insights gained from our first study, we aimed to identify the factors that might influence HCWs' perceptions of DRM. According to the literature, a positive organisational culture with strong leadership, transparent communication, and efficient information flow might enhance HCWs' disaster response effectiveness. Moreover, HCWs' previous disaster experiences and comprehensive training can improve their preparedness and response capabilities. However, concerns over personal safety and mental health issues, such as anxiety or depression, can negatively impact their participation in DRM. Furthermore, geographical and environmental contexts can be crucial, especially for hospitals in disaster-prone or conflict-affected areas.Despite these insights from the literature, a significant research gap remains in understanding how these factors might influence HCWs' perceptions across the four DRM phases in Saudi Arabia's diverse regional contexts. Our second study addresses this gap by exploring these influencing factors through 24 in-depth semi-structured interviews across four public hospitals in the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Central regions of Saudi Arabia. The results of this study will be used to strengthen HCWs' resilience and guide policy formulation so that resource distribution can be optimised and a culture of preparedness tailored to Saudi Arabia's unique healthcare landscape can be developed. Hence, our findings can be crucial in ensuring that Saudi Arabia's hospital DRM strategies are comprehensive, multifaceted, and region-specific
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
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
