Learning diaries and learning analytics, tools that can be integrated to understand study processes? Difficulty ratings and online activity tracking
No full textThe aim of this research was to analyze the contribution that a self-observation tool (the diary) can offer in a Blended University course with university students. A group of 67 university students observed their listening, reading and study behaviors by recording it in a lecture diary. These behaviors were also tracked and recorded as Log data by the Learning Management System used (Moodle). The research questions we tried to answer were about: a) the ability of students to judge the difficulty of the teaching material and to regulate their behavior on this judgment, assuming that a growth in the judgment of difficulty (indicated through the diary) should have corresponded to an increase in the number of performed activities (recorded via the logs); furthermore: b) they concern the possibility of relating effort to performance, assuming that an increase of the number of activities (recorded by log and declared through the diary) would have improved memory and learning. The main factor underlying the research can be defined as the consistency between student judgments and data obtained from the tracking of logs. Finally: c) we considered the relationship between profit and participation in presence or at a distance. Cues from self-observation and automatic recording of behaviors were then compared. The hypothesis was only partially confirmed by the results obtained. The ability to evaluate the different effort required by the proposed teaching material was problematic. The information contribution that can be obtained from the proposed tool for self-observation, the diary, is also under discussion, although it is useful in order to involve the end user in the evaluation and self-regulation process
Giallumi della vite in Trentino-Alto Adige
No full textI giallumi della vite sono malattie che ogni anno causano ingenti danni e notevoli perdite economiche in viticoltura; la loro presenza è sempre più frequente nei vigneti delle province di Trento e Bolzano. Per aumentare le conoscenze sulla diversità genetica dei fitoplasmi in Trentino-Alto Adige nell’estate del 2021 sono stati raccolti in alcuni vigneti delle due provincie campioni vegetali che sono stati analizzati per verificare la presenza e l’identità dei fitoplasmi
Vergilbungskrankheiten der Reben in Trentino-Sűdtirol
No full textDie Vergilbungskrankheiten der Reben verursachen jährlich beträchtliche Schäden und wirtschaftliche Verluste im Weinbau. Sie kommen immer häufiger auch in den Rebanlagen der Provinzen Trient und
Bozen-Südtirol vor. Um mehr über das Vorkommen, die Identität und die genetischen Unterschiede der Phytoplasmen in Trentino-Südtirol zu erfahren, wurden im Sommer 2021 in einigen Rebanlagen dieser Region Pflanzenproben gesammelt und analysiert
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
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
