Historical works of Alexander Guagnini
Full text linkWydział HistorycznyCelem dysertacji jest przybliżenie twórczości historycznej Aleksandra Gwagnina, pochodzącego z Werony Włocha żyjącego na przełomie XVI i XVII w. Gwagnin związał swoje losy z Rzeczpospolitą Obojga Narodów działając jako żołnierz, informator i organizator hut szkła. Jednak werończyk został zapamiętany dzięki opisowi Sarmacji Europskiej, wydanemu najpierw w języku łacińskim jako Sarmatiae Europeae descriptio (1574, 1578), a następnie w języku polskim jako Kronika Sarmacyey Europskiey (1611). Na kartach dzieła Gwagnin ukazał poszczególne krainy Rzeczypospolitej, między innymi Polskę, Litwę i Prusy oraz jej sąsiadów – Wielkie Księstwo Moskiewskie i tatarskie ziemie. Praca cieszyła się popularnością pomimo pretensji, jakie zgłosił wobec dzieła Maciej Stryjkowski. Dysertacja jest podzielona na sześć rozdziałów. Pierwszy przybliża życiorys Włocha, drugi charakteryzuje jego dzieła występujące w różnych wariantach, trzeci omawia dedykacje. Pozostałe przybliżają poszczególne zagadnienia pojawiające się na kartach Sarmacji takie jak: chorografia, władza oraz wizerunek Wielkiego Księstwa Moskiewskiego. W pracy pojawiają się wielokrotne odwołania do innych autorów, w tym Macieja Stryjkowskiego. Zwrócono należytą uwagę na informację o istnieniu wydania Sarmatiae Europeae descriptio z 1574 r., a także na anonimowy tekst Vita Despothi Principis Moldaviae, którego autorem mógł być Gwagnin.The purpose of this thesis is to give overview of historical works of Aleksander Guagnini. Guagnini was an Italian from Verona, who lived at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. He came to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, where he was soldier, informer and organizer of glass works. But most of all, Guagnini is remembered as an author of the description of European Sarmatia, first published in Latin as Sarmatiae Europeae descriptio (1574, 1578), and then in Polish as the Kronika Sarmacyey Europskiey (1611). In this work, Guagnini showed lands of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, including Poland, Lithuania and Prussia, as well as its neighbors – the Grand Duchy of Moscow and Tatars. The work was popular despite the claims of Maciej Stryjkowski. The thesis is divided into six chapters. The first chapter presents the biography of Guagnini. The next chapter contains the description of his works. The third chapter is the analysis of dedication letters. Other chapters bring closer various issues in the work, such as: chorography, political power and the image of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. The thesis includes references to other authors, including Maciej Stryjkowski. An important element of thesis is description of edition of 1574 of Sarmatiae Europeae descriptio, as well as the anonymous text of Vita Despothi Principis Moldaviae, which author could have been Guagnini

These texts contain large amounts of information about old forms of administration. A good example of that kind of narrative source is the description of European Sarmatia written by Alessandro Guagnini. The author of this text was Italian, who lived in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the turn of sixteenth and seventeenth century. This text was a historical and geographical relation about the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and its neighbours. It was reprinted in different editions and in few languages having a considerable impact on a perception of abovementioned state and even Central and Eastern Europe as well. In modern times Guagnini’s works have been quite forgotten, nevertheless its renewed analysis leads to interesting information at various levels. One of them is presentation of government model in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The described state consisted of few great regions each of which had its own administrative division, history and customs. Together they merged into a great political entity ruled by one monarch and approaching unification. The purpose of this article is to present administrative division in the pages of the described chronicle and how that division was ideologically legitimated by appealing to ancient Sarmatia
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
