European Values Study 2017: Finnish Data
No full textSuomen European Values Study 2017 -aineisto on väestötutkimus, joka kartoittaa monipuolisesti suomalaisten moraalisia, uskonnollisia, yhteiskunnallisia ja sosiaalisia asenteita sekä arvoja. Kyselyssä käsitellään muun muassa eri ihmisryhmien välistä tasa-arvoa ja suvaitsevaisuutta sekä uskonnollista käyttäytymistä, demokratiaa ja kansalaisuutta. Kyselyn aluksi vastaajalta tiedustellaan hänelle tärkeimpiä asioita elämässä sekä subjektiivisia kokemuksia onnellisuudestaan ja terveydentilastaan. Seuraavaksi kysytään järjestötoimintaan osallistumisesta ja luottamuksesta sekä ennakkoluuloista eri ihmisryhmien välillä. Tästä seuraa väittämät työnteosta. Vastaajalta tiedustellaan mm. mitkä ovat hänelle tärkeimpiä asioita työssä ja miten suhtautuu työttömyyteen. Seuraavat kysymykset koskevat uskonnollista käyttäytymistä, parisuhdetta ja perhe-elämää. Vastaajalta kysytään uskontokuntiin kuulumisesta ja sisältyykö hänen elämäänsä uskonnollisia tapoja, kuten rukoilua ja kirkossa käyntiä. Edelleen kysytään parisuhteen onnistumiseen vaikuttavista tekijöistä, uskosta avioliittoinstituutioon, sukupuolten välisestä työnjaosta ja tasa-arvosta sekä siitä, mitkä ovat lasten toivottavimpia ominaisuuksia. Seuraavat kysymykset koskevat poliittisia asenteita ja käyttäytymistä, kansanvaltaa ja yhteiskunnan järjestystä. Vastaajalta tiedustellaan osallistumisesta politiikkaan, yksilön ja yhteiskunnan vastuunjaosta, suhtautumisesta vapaisiin markkinoihin ja yhteiskunnan tulevaisuuden kannalta tärkeimmistä asioista. Seuraavaksi vastaajalta kysyttiin luottamuksesta eri yhteiskunnan instituutioihin ja demokratiasta. Esimerkiksi vastaajalta tiedusteltiin, mitkä ovat välttämättömiä demokratian ominaisuuksia ja miten arvioi demokratian toteutumista Suomessa tällä hetkellä. Kyselyn lopussa kysymykset koskevat eri asioiden, kuten prostituution ja kuolemanrangaistuksen hyväksyttävyyttä, alueellista identiteettiä ja sen määrittelemistä, vaalikäyttäytymistä ja suhtautumista maahanmuuttajiin. Vastaajalle esitettiin lopussa myös väitteitä liittyen ympäristöasioihin, viranomaisten oikeuksista kansalaisten tietoihin ja sosiaaliseen vastuunkantoon läheisistä ja tuntemattomista. Aineistossa on runsaasti taustamuuttujia, kuten vastaajan ikä, sukupuoli, siviilisääty, syntymämaa, lasten lukumäärä, koulutus, pääasiallinen toiminta, tulot ja vanhempien koulutukset. Kyselyssä on tietoja myös vastaajan puolisosta.The European Values Study is a population-level study charting Finnish moral views, religious and social attitudes, and values. The 2017 EVS survey focused on equality between groups of people, tolerance, religious behaviour, democracy, and citizenship. First, the respondents were asked what they considered to be the most important things in their lives, and how they perceived their happiness and health. The respondents' participation in association work was also queried as well as trust in and prejudice against different groups of people. Next, the respondents were presented with a set of attitudinal statements concerning work which charted, for instance, the most important aspects of work and views on unemployment. The next questions covered the respondents' religious behaviour, relationships and family life. They were asked whether they belonged to a religious community and whether they had religious habits, such as praying or going to the church. The respondents' views were charted on factors affecting the success of a relationship, work division and equality between genders, and trust in the institution of marriage. They were also asked which characteristics they considered important in a good child. The respondents' political attitudes and behaviour were examined next with questions concerning participation in politics, responsibilities of the individual and of the society, the free market, and the future of society. The respondents' trust in different institutions in society was also charted, and views on the state of democracy were examined. For instance, the respondents were asked what they considered the essential features of democracy and how well democracy functioned in Finland at the time of the survey. Finally, questions charted the respondents' values with questions concerning, for instance, the acceptability of prostitution or death penalty, regional identity and how it is defined, behaviour in elections, and attitudes toward immigrants. The respondents were also presented with attitudinal statements regarding environmental issues, authorities' access to citizens' personal information, social responsibility of relatives, friends and unknown people. Background variables included age, gender, marital status, country where R was born, number of children, education, economic activity, income, and parents' educational background. Background information concerning the respondents' spouses was also collected

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
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
