DIAGNOSTIC KARATE TESTS
No full textThe basic condition of a successful process of karate training is making diagnosis of any sportsman. Assessment is usually done by a coach and it is a part of technical process; quantity measurements are also a part of the evaluation which contains these tests. The suggested diagnostic karate tests are based on the knowledge of the specific karate characteristics and on the research which was done so far (Zulić 1985, Milošević and Zulić 1988, Jovanović 1981, 1988, Mudrić 1994, Doder 1998, 2000, 2005, Babiak, Doder, Savić, Golik2001, Savić, Doder, Babiak 2002). Karate as a type of sport demands diagnosis of many relevant characteristics, abilities and features that are thought to be predominant in the analysis of this kind of sport. Knowing all relevant anthropologic karate dimensions it is possible to select necessary instruments for measuring and to test those dimensions that karate results depend on. Considering all scientific knowledge and achievements in this field the fallowing tests are suggested: Morphologic measures: body height, arm span, arm length, pelvis width, hand ankle diameter, knees diameter, elbow diameter, body weight, parameters of one’s chest, stomach, the upper and lower part of one’s arm and legs, then to examine the skin fold of any sportsman’s arms, back, stomach and legs. Functional diagnosis: measuring of the maximum amount of oxygen breathed in. Mobility tests: the speed of simple movements, the speed of karate technique, deep bow on the bench, shoulders capability of moving, the static strength of hands, legs, shoulders and middle part of a body, jump height, an average jump, and the percentage of maximum achievement in jumping
A logic with big-stepped probabilities that can model nonmonotonic reasoning of system P
No full textWe develop a sound and strongly complete axiomatic system for probabilistic
logic in which we can model nonmonotonic (or default) reasoning. We discuss
the connection between previously developed logics and the two sublogics of
the logic presented here.</jats:p
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
