Theatre talks evolve into talking theatre
No full textTheatre audiences, and potential theatre audiences, are important to me. I believe that without an audience there is little point in performing, and without commitment to audience reception there is little point trying to evolve as an artist or theatre organisation

EVOLVE-HBV Study: Materials to support community dialogue, public engagement and education about Hepatitis B Virus infection in a rural population in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa
No full textThese materials have been generated to support the EVOLVE-HBV study based at the Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI) in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, working in collaboration with the Francis Crick Institute. The resources include a report of the sub-project 'Beliefs, Behaviours and Barriers that influence access to hepatitis B interventions' funded by a UCL Grand Challenges Award.This work has been led by an interdisciplinary team including Social Scientists, the AHRI Public Engagement team, clinicians and laboratory scientists working with the Community Advisory Board in the uMkhanyakude District of KwaZulu Natal. Study objectives:Our ultimate goal is to improve prevention, treatment and care for people living with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in rural South Africa. The objective of community interactions is to involve local populations as stakeholders and codesigners in translational research and in the design and implementation of pathways for HBV prevention, diagnosis and treatment.Specific aims:Aim 1. To measure how HBV is understood within a rural South African community, including transmission beliefs and stigmatization, and to understand experiences and expectations of living with HBV.Aim 2. To work with the community to develop accessible and acceptable clinical care pathways, including preventive interventions, which consider social, clinical, logistical, and economic barriers.Aim 3. Longer term, to obtain community input and feedback on the pathways developed, to further refine proposed intervention approaches.Ethics and governanceThis work has been approved under the terms of the EVOLVE-HBV project ethics: University of KwaZulu Natal (UKZN) Biomedical Research Ethics Committee (BREC, ref. 00004495/2022) and University College London, UK ethics committee (ref. 23221/001 EVOLVE-HBV). Participants in community engagement events were informed of the aims of the programme (in advance and on the day of participation), and provided their consent for the taking and sharing of photographs, and for the collation of their experiences and feedback in anonymised form. </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
