    The article deals with a number of recurrent images in the presentation of the theme of childhood by Z. Prilepin, a modern Russian writer. As the characters of his stories look at different things that surround them (such as toys, swings, fruit, etc.) their imagination takes them back to their early years which the author sees as a rather important period of their lives. These material objects take on a symbolic meaning that helps the reader understand the characters' psychology and explain their behaviour.В статье рассматривается ряд повторяющихся в произведениях З. Прилепина художественных образов, способствующих раскрытию темы детства. Доказывается, что предметы быта нередко выполняют в текстах автора роль соединительного звена между настоящим и прошлым персонажей: взгляд на них позволяет взрослым персонажам З. Прилепина мысленно вернуться в свои детские годы и вспомнить события, сыгравшие важную роль в их последующей жизни

    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

    Мир детства и его художественное воплощение в романе З. Прилепина "Патологии"

    The article deals with the evocation of childhood in the novel by Zahar Prilepin “Pathologies”. Children’s images are very important for all Prilepin’s works, in his first novel about warfare the author starts the theme of childhood, which is philosophical as well as psychological. In “Pathologies” we can see the world of childhood and imagination contrasted with the world of war and terror. The force of memory makes it possible to bring back events and situations which seemed to be buried in the past. With the help of memory Prilepin’s characters return to the first years of their lives trying to find safety and freedom. Almost all of these characters have some qualities, more typical for children, not for adults. For example, the hero of “Pathologies”, Egor Tachevsky has rich imagination and sincerity of a child, but on the other hand he is somewhat infantile and egoistic. On the whole, the importance of childhood in the life of every person is constantly marked by the writer. The conception of childhood in Prilepin’s works means not only the concrete period of time or some growing up people. It is also the symbol of tomorrow, the sign of future. This meaning is revealed in the first scene of “Pathologies”, where the main character of the book saves his foster-son from death.В статье рассмотрено художественное воплощение мира детства в произведении З. Прилепина «Патологии». Мотив детства, детские образы являются важнейшими для всего творчества писателя, в частности, большое внимание им уделено в дебютном романе автора о военных действиях в Чечне. Здесь мир детства с его радостным ощущением приятия людей и событий оказывается противопоставленным миру войны с ее болью, страхом, отчаянием. Прошедшее становится своего рода оппозицией к настоящему, жизнь вступает в борьбу со смертью, а сила памяти воскрешает полузабытые события и образы. Непреходящая значимость периода детства в жизни любого человека подчеркнута автором тем, что каждый из его центральных персонажей хранит в себе воспоминания о первых годах своей жизни, обладает теми или иными детскими чертами. Помимо конкретных воплощений, детство в творчестве писателя может выступать еще и в качестве символа, имеющего обобщенное, философское значение, являющегося синонимом будущего, знаком воскресения, как, например, в открывающей роман «Патологии» сцене спасения главным героем своего приемного сына от гибели

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    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
