The Prevalence and the Possibility of Diagnosis of Infection Caused by Species Brucella ovis in Sheep in Croatia
Get PDFU razdoblju od 2011. do 2015., godine istražena je rasprostranjenost infekcije vrstom
B. ovis u ovnova u Republici Hrvatskoj. U istraživanom razdoblju ukupno je pretraženo
18 324 seruma rasplodnih ovnova, a pozitivne reakcije su utvrđene u 1100 (6%) uzoraka.
Od 521 seruma pretraženih ovaca, pozitivne reakcije utvrđene su u 12 (2,3%). Kliničkim
pregledom adspekcijom i palpacijom testisa i epididimisa u 41,7% serološki pozitivnih
ovnova utvrđena je asimetrija skrotuma i jednostrano uvećanje repa epididimisa.
Patomorfološkim pregledom vidljive promjene poput granuloma, fibroze i atrofija testisa
i epididimisa utvrđene su u 58,3% pretražena testisa ovna. Bakteriološkom pretragom
iz uzoraka testisa i epididimisa ovnova izdvojeno je 20 (76,9%) izolata iz 26 pretraženih
ovnova. Svih 20 izolata molekularnim metodama identificirano je kao vrsta B. ovis. Na
temelju dobivenih rezultata vidljivo je da je zarazni epididimitis uzrokovan vrstom B. ovis
rasprostranjen u većini istraživanih regija u Republici Hrvatskoj.In the period from 2011 to 2015, we examined the prevalence of infection by B. ovis
in rams in the Republic of Croatia. In the period of examination, a total of 18,324 serum
samples breeding rams, positive reactions were established in 1100 (6%) samples.
Of the 521 sera examined sheep, positive reactions were found in 12 (2.3%). Clinical
examination, palpation and adspection testes and epididymis in 41.7% seropositive
rams established the asymmetry of the scrotum and unilaterally increase the tail of
the epididymis. Pathological examination such as granulomas, fibrosis and atrophy of
the testes and epididymis were found in 58.3% searched ram testicles. Bacteriological
examination testicular and epididymal samples from rams, B. ovis isolated in 20 (76.9%)
from 26 searched rams. All 20 isolates by molecular methods have been identified as
species B. ovis. Based on the our results, it is evident that the infectious epididymitis
caused by B. ovis the most prevalent in the investigated region in the Republic of Croatia
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
Foreword
No full textDear authors and readers,
We are pleased to present the second issue of Croatian Veterinary Journal, marking the continuation of the long and respected tradition of Veterinarska stanica, published continuously since 1970. Since 2019, all articles have been published in English, and the new journal title further underscores our commitment to international visibility and accessibility. Beginning in 2026, under its new name, the journal plans to publish six regular issues per year.
The Croatian Veterinary Journal publishes peer-reviewed scientific and professional articles in the fields of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Sciences, and Biotechnology. The journal welcomes original research papers, review articles, short communications, professional papers, case reports, conference reports, and book reviews.
Our mission is to serve veterinary practitioners, researchers, and academics by providing a platform for the exchange of knowledge, supporting evidence-based practice, and fostering scientific advancement. All articles are published in open access under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license, allowing unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction with appropriate citation.

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
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
