AUTOGRAFŲ KOLEKCIONAVIMAS ŠIANDIENOS LIETUVOJE
Get PDFCollection of autographs emerged in Europe in the sixteenth century, together with the spread of the written language. In later centuries, this type of collection became popular in many European countries and USA. Relevant media articles and rare exhibitions of autographs show that although collection of autographs does exist in Lithuania as a particular type, knowledge about it is limited. Both autographs and, in general, their collection are the subject of limited scientific research in Lithuania. However, collection of autographs as a phenomenon is out of the scope of the aforementioned research. The present article examines the current Lithuanian collectors of autographs, their collecting motives, thematic composition of collections, methods of collection and sources of collections. The research revealed that collection of autographs is an integral part of certain Professional activity and leisure time of collectors, which is related and complementary to it. Among Lithuanian collectors of autographs, the most popular are the autographs of contemporary famous Lithuanian representatives of art, culture, science, public, politics and sports as well as famous foreign musicians and actors. Personalities, but not themes are selected, the autographs of famous persons, but not of all famous persons of a certain historical period are collected. The autographs of Lithuanian historic personalities, subject to a negative attitude, are not popular as the objects of collection. In Lithuania, the most popular are eclectic (mixed) collections, which consist of unrelated autographs on various themes that are close to the collector. The most important criterion for selection of autographs for these collections is an emotional and intellectual attractiveness of an autograph. It might be argued that even the autographs of negatively viewed personalities can be valuable, if certain historical periods rather than individual persons are chosen as the objects of collection. Thus, selection of themes rather than persons would allow to fully reveal complex epochs of Lithuanian history (wars, occupations), while the aforementioned thematic collections of autographs could be successfully used as iconographic material, for example, to illustrate historical monographs or other works in publishing, or used as educational tool for lectures, etc. Lithuanian collectors usually acquire the autographs of historical persons by purchasing them (in flea markets, antique shops, from other collectors, etc.), while the collectors of autographs of contemporary people generally ask for them personally during various events (concerts, book presentations, etc.). It might be concluded that subject to the nature of collection (of historical persons or collector’s contemporaries), the methods of autograph collection and their sources differ. Personally obtained autographs are the most popular and the most common method to collect autographs in Lithuania. In this way, the collectors get autographs from the following sources: 1) during various events (during concerts, book presentations, scientific conferences); it is the most popular source of autographs; 2) in workplaces, 3) by post after sending the request for autograph to the preferred author; even though this source of obtaining autographs is the most rare. Other methods to collect autographs are the following: 1) through intermediary (the sources are similar as getting the autograph personally); 2) purchase (flea market, antiques, auctions, etc.), 3) gift, 4) accidental findings. In comparison with methods of collecting books (purchase, exchange, gifts, heritage), no exchange of autographs and no heritage cases are found among the current Lithuanian collectors of autographs.Vilniaus universiteto Knygotyros ir dokumentotyros institutas Universiteto g. 3, LT-01513 Vilnius, Lietuva El. paštas: [email protected] autografai pradėti kolekcionuoti XVI a. kartu su raštijos išplitimu. Vėlesniais šimtmečiais ši kolekcionavimo rūšis išpopuliarėjo daugelyje šalių, kartu ir JAV. Straipsniai žiniasklaidoje, kartkartėmis rengiamos autografų parodos liudija, kad autografų rinkimas, kaip kolekcionavimo rūšis, nors ir egzistuoja Lietuvoje, bet apie jį turime nedaug žinių. Tiek autografams, tiek apskritai kolekcionavimui Lietuvoje yra skirtas vienas kitas mokslinis tyrimas, tačiau už tokių tyrimų ribų lieka autografų kolekcionavimas kaip reiškinys. Šiame straipsnyje aptariami šiandienos Lietuvos autografų kolekcininkai ir jų kolekcionavimo motyvai, kolekcijų teminė sudėtis, jų kaupimo būdai ir šaltiniai
Road of a map: from a battlefield to the Wroblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences
No full textLietuvos MA Vrublevskių bibliotekoje esantis 1804 m. Prūsijos karalystės žemėlapis išsiskiria rankraštiniu įrašu, nurodančiu, kad jis paimtas iš 1807 m. Frydlando mūšyje žuvusio rusų karininko. Jame esanti lenkų kariuomenės 12-ojo pėstininkų pulko vado, būsimo generolo Jano Veisenhofo (Jan Weyssenhoff, 1774–1848) proveniencija bei jo biografijos faktai leido nustatyti, kaip šis žemėlapis atsidūrė jo rinkinyje. Minėto generolo kolekcijos rinkinio paveldėtojo, literato Juzefo Veisenhofo (Józef Weyssenhoff, 1860–1932) laiškai Lietuvos MA bibliotekos įkūrėjui Tadui Vrublevskui padėjo patikslinti šio žemėlapio, kaip ir nemažos dalies Veisenhofų knygų ir žemėlapių rinkinio, patekimo į T. Vrublevskio rinkinį (tuo pačiu ir į Biblioteką) aplinkybes. Pasakojimas apie šio išskirtinio žemėlapio istorinį kelią bus ir naujai kuriamame Lietuvos knygos ir mokslo minties muziejuje Bibliopolis. Esminiai žodžiai: 1804 m. Prūsijos karalystės žemėlapis; Janas Veisenhofas; Juzefas Veisenhofas; Tadas Vrublevskis; Jūžintai.A map of the Kingdom of Prussia entitled Generalkarte vom Königreich Preussen (Nürnberg, 1804) and held by the Wroblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences is notable for a handwritten inscription indicating that it was taken from a Russian officer killed in the Battle of Friedland in 1807. The provenance from the Colonel of the 12th Infantry Regiment of the Polish Army, the future General Jan Weyssenhoff (1774–1848), and facts of the latter’s biography made it possible to determine how this map came to his personal collection. The general, who was born and raised at the Andzelmuiža estate in the Rēzekne county (present-day Latvia) and spent most of his life in Poland at the Samoklęski estate near Lublin purchased in 1824 from the Czartoryskis, had an heir, the writer Józef Weyssenhoff (1860–1932). The letters from the latter to the founder of the Wroblewski Library, Tadeusz Wróblewski, were of assistance in clarifying how this map and a considerable part of Weyssenhoffs’ collection of books and maps came to be in Wróblewski’s personal library, which later became a public library. Those books in the holdings of the Wroblewski Library that were formerly owned by the Weyssenhoffs can be identified by bookplates and handwritten inscriptions – the both Weyssenhoffs, the General and the writer, marked their books with ownership marks. The history of the Weyssenhoff family is also closely related to Lithuania. For several centuries (from 1768 to World War I) they had owned the Jūžintai (later, Tarnava) estate. The history of the 1804 map of Prussia will also be presented at Bibliopolis, the Museum of the Lithuanian Book and Scholarly Thought currently under development. Keywords: map of the Kingdom of Prussia from 1804; Jan Weyssenhoff; Józef Weyssenhoff; Tadeusz Wróblewski; Jūžintai
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
New barrow cemeteries in Kaišiadorys District
No full text2007–2008m. lankant archeologinius paminklus Kaišiadorių rajone aptikti keli iki šiol nežinoti arba laikyti sunaikintais pilkapynai. Apie juos informuotas KPC, kurio darbuotojai nustatė paminklų teritorijas. Pilkapynus pasiūlyta įtraukti į NKVR.In 2007, several new barrow cemeteries or ones that were considered destroyed were found in Kaišiadorys District. The KPC was informed of their discovery. It was suggested that the monuments be added to the NKVR. Kalviai Barrow Cemetery III is near Kalviai barrow Cemetery I, which is already known. It contains three mounds 5–6.5 m in diameter and 0.2–0.7 m in height. Signs of collapsed pits are visible at the foot of one of them. 5 mounds and one small cairn (stone paving?) were recorded at Klėriškės barrow cemetery. The barrows are 4–8 m in diameter and 0.15–0.6 m in height. Fragments of stone kerbs or other constructions are visible at the foot or top of the majority of them. Several mounds have been slightly disturbed. At the site of Nemaitonys (Žydiškės) barrow cemetery, which was investigated in 1970 and later destroyed, one somewhat disturbed mound was found. It is 16.5 x 8.5 m in size and about 1 m in height. Two stones are protruding on the sides of the mound. There are six mounds (one of which is uncertain or badly disturbed) and one small cairn at Varkalės barrow cemetery. The barrows are 6.5–13.5 m in diameter and up to 1.5 m in height. A large number of stones: parts of kerbs or paving are visible on the edges or top of the majority of them. Some of the mounds have also been disturbed. On the basis of their appearance and structure, the discovered barrow cemeteries should be dated to the Middle Iron Age
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
