Global Ethics Forum 2024 : ethical leadership for a re-envisioned future : policy report
Full text linkThe Global Ethics Forum (GEF) 2024, held from 2 to 4 September 2024 at the Geneva Maison de la Paix, marked a significant relaunch of a globally recognised platform for ethical dialogue and action. Under the theme “Re-envisioning the Future in an Ethical Multistakeholder Perspective," the forum convened over 600 participants, including 78 speakers and 32 knowledge partners from 34 countries and 6 continents. The primary purpose of the forum is to inspire ethical leadership and provide a safe space for multistakeholder and intercultural dialogue. The event facilitated critical discussions on ethical leadership, innovative solutions, and policy recommendations to address global challenges. Through these discussions, the forum advanced policy recommendations that amplified the voices of underrepresented groups and set a global agenda that integrates ethics as a cornerstone for peace, governance, and technological innovation
Les Églises de l’Orient arabe face à la mondialisation du dialogue islamo-chrétien
No full textCet article représente une étude comparative des programmes du dialogue interreligieux pour les musulmans et les chrétiens de l’Orient arabe. L’auteur défend la thèse que la période qui suit les attaques terroristes du 11 septembre 2001 voit une évolution majeure sur le plan du dialogue et pose de nouveaux défis pour ses protagonistes. L’entrée en force des grandes institutions politiques musulmanes, sur la scène du dialogue, le propulse en effet sur le plan mondial et inter-civilisationnel, sans pour autant résoudre ses enjeux locaux. Cette situation crée un décalage entre les attentes des chrétiens d’Orient face au dialogue — dialogue qui est vital pour leur présence et le maintien du « vivre ensemble » dans leurs sociétés —, et les attentes des musulmans qui cherchent à corriger par le dialogue l’image de l’islam qui est projetée mondialement. Ce décalage représente un enjeu, voire un risque pour l’avenir du dialogue au Moyen-Orient. Ce risque peut cependant être transformé en une circonstance favorable, suivant les hypothèses conclusives de l’auteur.This paper represents a comparative study of the agendas of interreligious dialogue for Muslims and Christians in the Arab East. The author argues that the period following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 saw a major shift in the dialogue and poses new challenges for its protagonists. Indeed the dynamic involvement of important Muslim political institutions in dialogue propelled it on a global and inter-civilizational level without solving its local issues. This creates a gap between the expectations of Eastern Christians concerning the dialogue — a dialogue that is vital to their presence and living-together with Muslims in their societies — and those of Muslims who seek to globally correct through dialogue the image of Islam. This shift is a challenge, even a risk for the future of dialogue in the Middle East, but it nevertheless can be transformed into an opportunity according to the concluding hypothesis of the author
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
Inclusive AI for a better future : policy dialogue report
Full text linkPanel and expert consultation on "Ethical Reframing of AI: Time for a Geneva Compact?", co-hosted by Globethics in partnership with the Club of Rome, 1-2 November 2023, Maison de la Paix, Geneva, Switzerland, in the framework of the Geneva Peace Week, under the thematic track "Harnessing technologies to build a better future".This Policy Dialogue Report is aimed at fostering
multistakeholder, multidisciplinary, inclusive, and
cross-regional dialogue on recent advancements in
AI ethics policies and practices. It addresses the gap
of independent space to bring together around this
topic a) all sectors encompassing public, private
and civil society organizations, b) diverse world
regions and cultures, and c) multiple disciplines of
not only technology and economics but also social
sciences and humanities, in addition to warranting
meaningful intergenerational participation and
gender-sensitive leadership
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
