Proline organocatalysis as a new tool for the asymmetric synthesis of ulosonic acid precursors
No full textPEP and aldolase mimicry is the key for a direct organocatalytic entry to precursors of ulosonic acids, biomolecules of enormous importance in biology, chemistry and medicine; in the key aldol reaction the dimethylacetal of pyruvic aldehyde is used as phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) equivalent and the amino acid proline functions as an organocatalyst, imitating the enzym
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
Zum Problem der Vorannahmen und Psychopathologisierungen in der Arbeit mit Schmerzpatienten
No full textAusgehend von der Frage, wovon die Lebenssituation von Patienten mit chronischen Schmerzen gekennzeichnet ist, werden unter Einbezug des Konzeptes des Informierten Leibes als ein Kernkonzept der Integrativen Therapie die Vorannahmen und die Psychopathologisierungen, denen die Patienten ausgesetzt sind, sowie die Idee der Schmerzbewältigung kritisch beleuchtet und als Behinderung im therapeutischen Prozess angesehen. Der hohe Stellenwert der Arbeit an der persönlichen Souveränität und das Bewussthalten, dass ein vollständiges Verstehen des anderen im therapeutischen Prozess unerreichbar ist, werden herausgearbeitet.Starting from the question of what is the life situation of patients with chronic pain, including the concept of the informed body as a core concept of Integrative Therapy, the presuppositions and psychopathologizations to which the patients are exposed, as well as the idea of pain management are critically examined regarded as a disability in the therapeutic process. The high value of work on personal sovereignty and the awareness that a complete understanding of the other in the therapeutic process is unattainable are highlighted.https://www.fpi-publikation.de/polyloge/30-2017-enders-d-vorannahmen-und-psychopathologisierungen-arbeit-mit-schmerzpatienten/peerReviewedpublishedVersio
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
