    The paper explores the social interaction that takes place during the initial phases of videoconferences. The focus is on the problem of absent participants, which is often considered a reason for delaying the official beginning of the meeting. One of the resources that the participants have is to reach the absent participant by cellphone. We observed a recurrent pattern of action whereby one of the participants disengages from the video meeting to reach the missing person by phone. This negotiation process moves through four steps: 1) the detection of the problem, 2) the offer to call the missing person by one participant, 3) the acceptance of this offer by the moderator, and 4) the temporary absence of the participant from the video meeting to make the phone call. Our data concern videoconferencing in the context of international teachertraining in German as a foreign language (LEELU project, https://www.leelu.eu/english/)

    L’articolo presenta i primi risultati di una ricerca qualitativa sulla scrittura in lingua straniera con l’aiuto di Google Traduttore. In questo lavoro prendiamo in esame i processi, cioè le forme di costruzione delle strutture verbali e discorsive nel mentre si articolano dal vivo durante la costruzione di una traduzione di sito web di carattere turistico. Lo studio si è svolto nell’anno accademico 2013/2014 e si è basato sulla videoregistrazione di circa 12 ore di lavoro in gruppi di 4 persone mentre progettano, lavorano e producono la stesura di parti della homepage in lingua tedesca di un sito turistico. Il lavoro mette in risalto sia le potenzialità che i limiti dell’utilizzo delle risorse online di traduzione a livelli di base nell’apprendimento di una lingua straniera.This article presents the first results of a qualitative research study on writing in a foreign language with the help of Google Translator. The article examines the processes of rendering, that is, the construction of verbal and discursive forms expressed during group discussion on the translation of a tourist website. This study took place in the 2013/2014 academic year, and it was based on a video recording of about 12 hours of group work by four students while planning and producing a draft of the German translation of the homepage of an Italian tourist site. The work highlights both the advantages and disadvantages of the use of an online translation resource by students with basic knowledge of a foreign language

    Diplomsko delo se ukvarja s problemom darovanja organov. Predvsem se osredotoča na etičnost darovanja (tako živi kot mrtvi darovalec) ter kakšen je odziv različnih religij na to temoali darovanje podpirajo ali ne. Pri večini izbranih religij je opravljen tudi krajši intervju in s tem je pridobljen točni vpogled v to, ali se religije strinjajo z darovanjem ali ne. Diplomsko delo se posveča tudi napredku medicinske znanosti, do kje religije le-tega podpirajo oziroma kje postavijo mejo. Opravljen je tudi intervju s predstavnico organizacije Slovenija Transplant, ki natančno predstavi delovanje društva in potek transplantacije ter tudi neke zadržke oziroma zavrnitve darovanja. Nato sledi analiza ankete, kjer anketiranci odgovarjajo na vprašanja, povezana z darovanjem, ali so za ali proti. Kakšen je njihov odnos do medicine, ali so mnenja, da religije podpirajo darovanje ali ne. Pri tem je opaziti, da anketiranci še vedno niso dovolj seznanjeni z dotičnim problemom. Veliko jih tudi ne sprejema možganske smrti kot dejanske smrti. Veliko je sicer pristašev darovanja, vendar pa se jih je le malo zares opredelilo, saj je opredeljenih le 1 % prebivalcev. Religije načeloma podpirajo darovanje organov, vendar imajo določene religije tudi kakšne zadržke oziroma pogoje, da pride do darovanja. Enako velja pri medicinski znanosti. Tudi tu imajo religije neke zadržke oziroma postavijo neko mejo, ki je medicina ne bi smela preseči.The thesis discusses the problem of organ donation. The main focus is the ethics of donating (by either an alive or a dead donor) and the response of different religions to that matter: if they support the donation or are against it. A short interview was done with members of most of the chosen religions, so an exact insight to the matter is given. The thesis also discusses the progress of the medical science, how much it is supported by religions and where is the line. Also, an interview with a representative of Slovenija Transplant was doneit presents the activities of the organization and the process of a transplant and also some restraints and rejections of a transplant. Then follows an analysis of an opinion poll about organ donation: what is people\u27s opinion about medicine, do they think that religions support the donation or not. It has been found out that people still do not know much about this problem. A lot of them does not consider brain death as actual death. A lot of them support the donation, but only few actually opted as only 1% of people is opted. In general, religions support organ donation, but some of them have some restrains or conditions for the donation. It is the same with medical science where religions have some restrains as well and put bounds to the medical progress

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The 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

    No full text
    “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

    No full text
    We 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
