The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on maritime passenger traffic in the European Union
No full textPomorskoputnički promet je grana pomorstva koja je vrlo uspješna, posebice kada je riječ o kružnim putovanjima. Međutim, pojava COVID-19 pandemije uzrokovala je brojne negativne utjecaje na cjelokupnu pomorsku industriju. Predviđanja su ukazivala da je pomorska industrija trebala biti u znatnom porastu 2020. godine, no neočekivanom pojavom pandemije ona se nisu ostvarila. Prema provedenim istraživanjima i dostupnim podatcima, industrija se nakon popuštanja epidemioloških mjera postepeno oporavlja, ali da bi promet prometovao intenzitetom kao nekada, luke i svi ostali sudionici bi trebali težiti za unaprijeđenjem cijelog pomorskog sustava. U ovom radu usporedit će se kretanje pomorskoputničkog prometa u odabranim zemljama Europske unije u razdoblju prije pandemije, tijekom pandemije i poslije pandemije. Posebno će se istaknuti promjene koje su vidljive u ponašanju putnika na kružnim putovanjima i u primjeni novih pomorskih tehnologija.Maritime passenger traffic is a branch of shipping that is very good, especially when it comes to successful cruises. However, the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic caused numerous negative impacts on the entire maritime industry. Predictions indicated that the maritime industry would grow significantly in 2020, but not a single unexpected pandemic has materialized. According to the conducted research and the available data, the industry is gradually recovering after the release of epidemiological measures, but in order for traffic to flow as intensively as before, ports and all other participants should strive to improve the entire maritime system. This paper will compare the movement of maritime passenger traffic in selected countries of the European Union in the period before the pandemic, during the pandemic and after the pandemic. The changes that are visible in the behavior of passengers on cruises through maritime technologies will be highlighted in particular
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
Agency appointment agreement
No full textCilj završnog rada je opisati ugovor o pomorskoj agenciji, odnosno na koji način se taj ugovor koristi u praksi, tko su njegove ugovorne strane, kako navedeni ugovor može nastati, u kojim oblicima se može pronaći i objasniti na koji način prestaje te koliko traje. Ugovor o pomorskoj agenciji obuhvaća najvažnije stavke o pomorsko-agencijskom poslovanju, a to su obveze agenta i obveze nalogodavca. Sam ugovor objašnjava pravni posao između ugovornih strana. Bitno je znati da ugovor o pomorskoj agenciji ima svoje bitne elemente i ugovorne odredbe (klauzule) gdje ugovorne strane dogovorom mogu mijenjati, brisati i nadodati druge ugovorne odredbe (klauzule) u ugovoru. Rad će se osvrtati i na standardne ugovore koji su često korišteni u samoj praksi, a najbitniji za znati je Ugovor o općoj agenciji iz 2017. godine za kojeg se smatra da je budućnost ugovora o pomorskoj agenciji te privikavanje na taj ugovor još uvijek traje.The aim of this research paper is to describe a maritime agency contract, how the contract is used in practice, who are its contracting parties, how the said contract may arise, in what forms can it be found, and explain how it ends and how long it lasts. The contract of a maritime agency covers the most important items in the maritime agency business, these being the obligations of the agent and the client. The contract itself explains the legal work between the contractors. It is important to know that a maritime agency contract has its essential and contractual provisions (clauses), where the contracting parties may, by agreement, amend, remove, and add other contractual provisions (clauses) in the contract. The paper will also look at the standard contracts that are often used as common practice, as well as the 2017 General Agency Agreement which is currently being introduced and is considered to be the future standard for the shipping agency contract
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
