The “court cases” of General Ye. F. Kern
Full text linkThis article focuses on the battle career of the Russian general, Ye. F. Kern, who dedicated sixty years to the service of the country. General Kern participated in most wars and military campaigns the Russian state was involved in in the last quarter of the 18th-the first quarter of the 19th centuries. Despite being a contemporary and often a companion-in-arms to outstanding Russian public and military officers, he could not secure a dominant position on the military Areopagus. Moreover, in the post-war period his life was scarred by tragedies. In the Russian culture, he became notorious because of his wife. Over the last two centuries, Ye. F. Kern has been described as a “rude” and “ignorant” person destroying the aspirations of a young, courtly, and educated woman towards noble ideals and sublime feelings. This article considers the features of provincial military life in the light of its hardships and routine aggravated by the peculiarities of bureaucracy typical of Russian peripheral centres of the time. The case of Ye. F. Kern helps understand how a Russian general, despite the vicissitudes of fate — battle injuries, career hardships, family discord, and lack of stability — managed to remain true to the once chosen direction in life — service of the country

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
Puccinia urticata F. Kern, Mycologia
No full textC13: Puccinia urticata F. Kern, Mycologia 9: 214, 1917. (Fig. 16) Description: — Spermogonia and aecia not found. Uredinia rarely found. Urediniospores 20.5–25.0 × 17.5–21.5 µm (av. 23.0 × 19.5 µm); walls, 1.4–2.2 µm (av. 1.7 µm). Telia amphigenous, compact, black, erumpent. Teliospores broadly clavate, ellipsoid, mostly conical or rounded at apices, constricted at the septa, attenuate at the bases, 41.0– 55.5 × 15.0–20.0 µm (49.5 × 17.5 µm); walls brown, 0.6–1.3 µm (av. 0.9 µm) thick at sides, 6.0–10.7 µm (av. 8.3 µm) at apices; pedicels persistent, hyaline, 20.5–49.5 µm (av. 30.5 µm) long. Specimens examined from northeastern CHINA: — Jilin Province, South of Changbai Mountain, uredinia and telia on Carex sp., 2 September 2018, HMJAU 8808, 8809. Hosts and distribution in northeastern CHINA (Fig. 1): —Uredinia and telia on Carex sp. (D). Note: —The two cited specimens on Carex are phylogenetically clustered together with P. urticata, although no spermogonial and aecial specimen on Urtica has been collected. The telial stage is morphologically similar to the descriptions of this species by Kern (1917) and Termorshuizen & Swertz (2011), although the teliospores are slightly smaller. Because only a few specimens have been collected the distribution of this species is suspected to be limited to the study area. Puccinia urticata has been treated as P. caricis or P. caricina (Arthur 1934, Hylander et al. 1953, Wilson & Henderson 1966, Hiratsuka et al. 1992, Zhuang et al. 1998, Azbukina 2005, 2015). However, species delimitation of these species, including morphology and host range, are variable among taxonomists. These species are suspected to be a species complex, requiring further study, but here treated as a distinct species, P. urticata.Published as part of Ji, Jingxin, Li, Zhuang, Li, Yu & Kakishima, Makoto, 2022, Phylogenetic approach for identification and life cycles of Puccinia (Pucciniaceae) species on Carex (Cyperaceae) from northeastern China, pp. 221-255 in Phytotaxa 542 (3) on pages 244-245, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.542.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/641673
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
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
