    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    “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 link
    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

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) might be taken into consideration as relatively novel method for brain repair. This article aims at analysis the extent to which the available ooprtunities are being exploited, including limitations associated with therapeutic use of HBOT in the therapy of post-stroke patients. Despite HBOT constitutes promising method in post-stroke patients  further research is needed to better define the role of HBOT in the therapy of post-stroke patients

Structural integration as a method holistic impact on the myofascial system Integracja strukturalna, jako metoda holistycznego oddziaływania na układ mięśniowo-powięziowy 1 Natański Dawid, 1 Ożóg Piotr, 2 Zukow Walery, 1 Goch Aleksander 1Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Health Sciences, Ludwik Rydygier Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Poland 2Department of Spatial Management and Tourism, Faculty of Earth Sciences, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Torun, Poland Abstract Myofascial tissue in recent years has aroused great interest. Evidenced by the increase in the amount of research on it. Modern studies provide a large amount of information on this tissue. Initially underestimated and imported exclusively to muscle tissue sheaths, modern science reveals a completely new face. Recent studies show that it is involved in the creation of various structures such as the even: straps, ligaments and joint capsules. These results shed a completely new light on the impact of the fascial tissue for organ motion. For a full understanding of continuity, complexity and the role of fascial tissue for the locomotor system should take into account the distribution of such tissue in relation to the various "layers", in which it occurs. The overall breakdown is as follows: superficial fascial tissue - reticular, deep fascia, epimysium, perimysium and endomysium. The concept tensegration, which is derived from a combination of English words and tension- tension integity - integrity, first described by Richard Buckminster Fuller and Snelson Kenteha. Its essence in the simplest way to introduce referring to the building, which consists of rigid elements and flexible joints. Actuation force on any element of the system tensegrational degrades the forces applied to more structure elements. Buildings based on this principle derive a significant resistance to external forces. An example might be the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, thanks to its structure based on the principle can withstand strong earthquakes. The main objective of the therapist to strike a balance of structural and appropriate arrangement of the various parts of the body in the gravitational field. Therapy myofascial tissues are very interesting form of therapy. Following through its holistic impact distinguishes it from the classical approach of manual therapy, which focuses mostly on local disturbances. Through the use of this form of therapy it is possible to obtain stable therapeutic effects. Reduction in local or global disturbance of soft tissue tension. Therapy improves posture and pattern of global traffic patterns economy translating into traffic. So that the structural integration is a therapy that is dedicated not only to people suffering from pain. Following through its holistic impact of the success it can be used in people who want to influence the attitude correction. An interesting direction seems to be the use of musculo-fascial therapy in athletes. Keywords: Structural integration; Method holistic impact; System myofascia

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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

    We 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
