Intracranial Hemorrhage, Cysts, Tumors, and Destructive Lesions
No full textDestructive cerebral lesions are the result of an insult to a normally developed fetal brain. The most common causes are hemorrhage, hypoxia-ischemia, and infections. However, the pathophysiology is unclear in many cases. The prognosis is usually poor. This chapter describes the main features of fetal intracranial destructive lesions, including intracranial hemorrhages, porencephaly, hydranencephaly, and schizencephaly. Other intracranial lesions that develop late in gestation, including intracranial cysts and intracranial tumors, are also described
Picturing Intimacy
Full text linkTaking as a point of departure the Italian American community in Boston and its process of collective remembrance surrounding Saint Anthony’s Feast, we addressing the limits and potential of montage. We argue that the multi-vocality and multi-temporality of social networks can be incorporated into the linearity of a narrated film. We discuss how editing found footage into the film Christmas in August (2013, http://christmasinaugust.altervista.org/) was a way to explore the assemblages of diasporic identity and cultural intimacy for Boston’s Italian Americans. We focus specifically on the significance of social networks as mediators, and of montage as a tool to capture the virtual narratives and identities performed in the Facebook Group Page of St. Anthony’s Feast. We look at the Internet as both an archive source and a field of performance for acts of commemoration and remembering, and argue that montage is the most suited editing technique to reproduce the intimacy and irony expressed by the protagonists in their performance of Italian-ness.Prenant comme point de départ la communauté italo-américaine à Boston et les techniques de mémoire collective déployées autour de la fête de Saint Antoine, nous abordons les limites et les potentiels des techniques de montage. Nous prétendons que la multi-vocalité et la multi-temporalité des réseaux sociaux peuvent être inclus dans la linéarité d'un film. Nous discutons de la manière dont le montage de film récupéré/ détourné comme dans le film Noël, au mois d'Aout (2013 http://christmasinaugust.altervista.org/) est une façon d'explorer les modalités de recomposition d'une identité diasporique et d'une intimité culturelle pour les italo-américains de Boston. Nous nous concentrons plus spécifiquement sur l'importance des réseaux sociaux comme de possibles médiateurs et du montage comme d'un outil pour capturer les récits et identités virtuels mises en scène sur la page Facebook des fêtes de Saint Antoine. Nous avons considéré internet comme sources d'archives et un terrain de performance propice aux inscriptions de souvenirs et de mémoires. Nous démontrons que le montage est la technique la plus adaptée pour rendre compte de l'intimité et de l'ironie exprimées par les protagonistes pour exprimer leur "italianité".Tomando como punto de partida a la comunidad italiana americana en Boston y su proceso de recuerdo colectivo alrededor de la Fiesta de San Antonio, abordamos los límites y potencialidades del montaje. Argumentamos que la multi-vocalidad y la multi-temporalidad de las redes sociales pueden ser incorporadas en la linealidad de una película narrativa. Discutimos cómo la edición de archivos encontrados para la película La Navidad de agosto (2013, http://christmasinaugust.altervista.org/) fue una manera, para los italianos de Boston, de explorar las recomposiciones de la identidad diaspórica y de la intimidad cultural. Nos centramos específicamente en la importancia de las redes sociales como mediadores y del montaje como una herramienta para capturar las narrativas e identidades virtuales representadas en la página del grupo de Facebook de la Fiesta de San Antonio. Consideramos Internet a la vez como fuente de archivo y como campo de actuación para los actos de conmemoración y recuedo, y argumentamos que el montaje es la técnica de edición más adecuada para reproducir la intimidad y la ironía expresadas por los protagonistas en su representación de la “italianidad”
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
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
