RECONSTRUCTION IN EASTERN EUROPE
Get PDFThis present paper analyzes the evolution of the USSR as well as that of Eastern and Central European countries, which were under Soviet influence, after the Yalta and Tehran agreements, between 1944 and 1960 (1962). What were the transformations that occurred in those states, why and how? What were the outcomes? What were the perspectives? These are essential questions which we intended to answer.transition to market economy, Eastern Europe
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTIONS: GLOBALIZING OUTCOMES-COORDINATES OF THE RELATION INTERESTS-CONSTRAINT-SEDUCTION
Get PDFIndustrial revolutions, as a solid foundation of modern globalization, represents the process of transition to mechanization and to the emergence of large mechanized production, manual work being replaced by machine- tools. The industrial revolution will generate deep changes in the world’s economic structure. We are dealing, of course, with an extremely complex, dynamic, sharply upward evolution, taking place in several stages- the definition above referring to the first stage-, or we can notice the existence of several „industrial revolutions”. This paper try to respond to an essential question like: Is globalization a „new process” or did it originate in the mist of time, having evolved to its present forms?industrial revolutions, globalization, internationalization
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
DAN POPESCU PROFESSOR, “DOCTOR HONORIS CAUSA” THE UNIVERSITY OF RENNES 1, FRANCE
No full textAt the end of June, the University of Rennes 1, France, the prestigious institution of higher education (among the top 420 in the world), the ceremony took place for offering the title of "Doctor Honoris Causa" of the French University for three foreign researchers "to high international level, as outlined in these official documents. Among them, the Romanian professor Roman Dan Popescu, from "Lucian Blaga" University of Sibiu, a specialist in political economy, history of economic thought - economic history. The other two teachers were Norwegian Alex Hansen, a professor at the University of Technology in Trondheim, Norway, Physics and the American Richard R. Schrock, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, specializing in chemistry, Nobel Prize for chemistry in 2005.speech, Doctor Honoris Causa
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
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
