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
Combining GIS and FAO's crop water productivity model for the estimation of water footprinting in a temporary river catchment
No full textIn the arid and semi-arid areas such as those in southern Europe, the correct management of water is of fundamental importance as well as the estimation of water consumption associated with human activities. Considering a temporary river catchment, the Water Footprint (WF) methodology allows direct and indirect estimation of water consumption required for the production of a given product. Furthermore, the WF estimation often involves the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) that allows to process climate, land use and soil type data. With the intent of strengthening existing methodologies applied at basin scale, this study deals with the estimation of WF in a temporary river catchment combining GIS and FAO's (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) crop water productivity model. In detail, with reference to each municipality in the Candelaro catchment area (2330 km2, Southern Italy), the blue and green component of WF was calculated for the agricultural products. Additionally, the role of treated wastewater, intended as a strategy of water deficit compensation at basin scale, was addressed. Results showed a WF of 686 Mm3/year with a greater contribution from the green than the blue component. The wheat was the cultivation that required the largest quantity of rainwater while tomato was the product that contributed to the increased demand for irrigation water, which accounted for about 50% of the blue component. The other agricultural products that contributed to the demand for blue water were grapes and olive trees. Finally, the treated wastewater can substantially contribute to covering the water deficit; results showed a contribution of 30%–40% of water savings. © 2018 Institution of Chemical Engineer
Testis-Sparing Surgery for Benign Pathologies in Children: A Report of Two Cases
Get PDFAbstract
Aim: The aim of this report is to describe two cases of testis-sparing surgery and to discuss the
feasibility, safety and outcome of this treatment modality.
Patients and Methods: We here present the cases of two boys, a 12-year-old and a 7-year-old,
exhibiting a Large-Cell Calcifying Sertoli Cell Tumor (LCCSCT) and a Leydig Cell Tumor (LCT)
respectively. All operations were performed through an inguinal approach by cold ischemia and
with organ-sparing surgery.
Results: Neither of the patients exhibited intraoperative or postoperative complications. After a
mean follow-up of 25 months (range 16–34) the patients were free of disease.
Conclusion: Testis-sparing surgery by cold ischemia and frozen-section examination is advisable
for pediatric patients with benign testicular masses
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
