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
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
THE IMPACT OF RECREATIONAL EXERCISE ON BACK PAIN
No full textTjelesna aktivnost ima puno pozitivnih učinaka na ljudsko tijelo. Utječe na brojne organske sustave poput mišićnog, kardiovaskularnog, respiratornog, endokrinog te utječe i na mentalno zdravlje pojedinca. Bol je neugodno iskustvo koje nastaje obradom živčanih signala na perifernim receptorima. Brojni su uzroci boli u kralježnici no činjenica je da je sjedilački način života uvelike utjecao na povećanje broja ljudi koji pate od križobolje te su sve veće potrebe njenog liječenja. Kako bi liječenje boli u kralježnici bilo uspješno, izrazito je važan multidisciplinaran tim a primjenjuje se farmakoterapija, invazivni i minimalnoinvazivni postupci liječenja, komplementarne metode liječenja, kognitivno-bihevioralna terapija i fizikalna terapija. Cilj fizikalne terapije je smanjiti bol, povećati kvalitetu života i radnu sposobnost te educirati pacijenta. Kod boli su uključeni tjelesni, emocionalni i kognitivni procesi a svaka osoba proživljava bol na drugačiji način. Za smanjenje boli mogu se koristiti TENS, laser, magnetoterapija, masaže, postupci hlađenja, grijanja, ultrazvuk, metode električne struje te naročito provođenje određenih vježbi. Osim što utječe na smanjenje boli, vježbanje pozitivno utječe i na razvoj funkcionalnih, psihofizičkih i motoričkih sposobnosti, smanjuje stres, pozitivno utječe na raspoloženje i motivaciju, dovodi do pozitivnih emocija i poboljšava vlastitu sliku o sebi. Razlikuju se tri faze boli: akutna, subkronična i kronična faza. U akutnoj fazi se provode opuštajući položaji kako bi se popustio pritisak i rasteretila kralježnica. U subakutnoj fazi se izvode vježbe istezanja, mobilnosti, disanja, vježbe stabilnosti, vježbe za razvoj jakosti i koordinaciju, a u kroničnoj fazi se provode iste vježbe no mijenja se opterećenje i intenzitet vježbanja. Ovisno o fazi boli, fizioterapeut odabire vježbe te odlučuje o načinu njihovog provođenja.
Cilj ovog rada je opisati i prezentirati osnovne modele i spoznaje utjecaja tjelesne aktivnosti na smanjenje boli u kralježnici.Physical activity has many positive effects on the human body. It affects numerous organ systems such as muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine and also affects the mental health of the individual. Pain is an unpleasant experience that arises from the processing of nerve signals at peripheral receptors. There are numerous causes of pain in the spine, but the fact is that a sedentary lifestyle has greatly influenced the increase in the number of people suffering from low back pain, and the need for its treatment is increasing. In order for the treatment of spinal pain to be successful, a multidisciplinary team is extremely important and pharmacotherapy, invasive and minimally invasive treatment procedures, complementary treatment methods, cognitive-behavioral therapy and physical therapy are applied. The goal of physical therapy is to reduce pain, increase quality of life and work ability, and educate the patient. Physical, emotional and cognitive processes are involved in pain, and each person experiences pain in a different way. TENS, laser, magnetotherapy, massages, cooling and heating procedures, ultrasound, electric current methods, and especially certain exercises can be used to reduce pain. Except for reducing pain, exercise has a positive effect on the development of functional, psychophysical and motor skills, reduces stress, positively affects mood and motivation, leads to positive emotions and improves one's self-image. There are three phases of pain: acute, subchronic and chronic phase. In the acute phase, relaxing positions are performed to relieve pressure and decompress the spine. In the subacute phase, stretching exercises, mobility, breathing, stability exercises, exercises for developing strength and coordination are performed, and in the chronic phase, the same exercises are performed, but the load and intensity of the exercises are changed. Depending on the stage of the pain, the physiotherapist selects exercises and decides on the way to perform them.
The aim of this work is to describe and present the basic models and knowledge of the impact of physical activity on the reduction of pain in the spine
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
