    Ist es möglich ein Bild als ein eigenes Zeichensystem zu betrachten? Text und Bild werden in dieser Arbeit als parallele, gleichwertige Zeichensysteme verstanden, die im Grunde vier besondere Gemeinsamkeiten haben: Beide Systeme haben einen ähnlichen Ablauf. Es gibt die Überlagerung bestimmter Einheiten, die zur Textkohärenz und zur Textkohäsion beitragen. Beide Systeme haben außerdem das gleiche Ziel, nämlich gewisse Themen und Inhalte an den Rezipienten zu transportieren. Der Produzent eines verbalen oder visuellen Textes will die Welt deuten, so wird die Produktion immer zum Vorgang einer Selbstreflexion und gleichzeitig einer Diskussion mit der Außenwelt. Die vierte Gemeinsamkeit liegt darin, dass der Rezipient in beiden Fällen am Aufbauprozess des Endproduktes beteiligt ist. Hierbei wird der visuelle Text durch folgende Etappen vermessen: die elementare Teilung und allgemeine Symmetriebetrachtungen, die Anwendung des Thaleskreises und der Platonsichen Körper, sowie die Analyse von interferierenden Parametern, die zur Spannung im Text beitragen. Dabei wird dieser immer auch im historischen Kontext betrachtet. Diese Methode wurde auf dreizehn Werke Caravaggios angewandt. Vier Werke beruhen auf Texten der griechischen Mythologie, der Rest auf Texten des Alten Testaments. Die Ziele dieser Untersuchung sind vielfältig. Auf der Makroebene sollen die Fragen beantwortet werden, was man eigentlich sieht, was dies bedeuten kann und in welchem Kontext das Werk betrachtet werden muss. In dieser Phase müssen Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede zwischen sprachlichen und visuellen Text analysiert werden. Auf der Makroebene wird der Frage nachgegangen, worin die Analogie zwischen Sprache und Bild überhaupt besteht. Die Metaebene verfolgt das Ziel einer Annäherung aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven. Der Ausgangspunkt ist die Semiotik, die in Verbindung mit der Geometrie eine Basis zur Entschlüsselung der gewählten Bilder Caravaggios formt. Meine Überzeugung ist, dass die verbale Sprache, die Visuelle und die Sprache der Mathematik eine Einheit bilden. Die Anwendung dieser Methode ist ohne das ständige Verweben von Mathematik, Linguistik und Kunst nicht denkbar, wodurch sich der interdisziplinäre Charakter von selbst erklärt.Is it possible to consider an image as a self-contained symbolic system? In this paper text and image will be understand as parallel and equal symbolic systems, which share four exceptional commonalities: Both systems have a similar procedures. There is an interference of certain parameters which adds to the coherence or cohesion of a text. Furthermore both systems have the same aim to deliver specific contents to the recipient. The creator of a verbal or visual text wants to reinterpret the world, which leads to the production being a way of self-reflection and a discussion with his surroundings at the same time. The fourth commonality is due to fact that in both cases the recipient is part of the construction process of the final product. Within this process the visual text will be analysed in the following steps: the elementary partitioning and general symmetry inspections, the appliance of Thales' theorem and platonic solids as well as the analysis of interfering parameters that add to the visual tension. Within this process the text will also be observed in regard to its historical context. This method was applied to 13 works by Caravaggio. Four works based on texts from the Greek mythology, the rest based on texts from the old testament. The objectives of this examination are multifarious. On a macro scale it seeks to answer the question as to what can actually be seen, what this could possibly mean and in which context the work has to be considered. In this phase similarities and differences between the lyrical and the visual text are analysed. This part seeks to answer the question as to wherein the analogy between language and image consists of. The meta scale seeks to approach the subject from various perspectives. Starting point is semiotics which, in connection with geometry, serves as the basis for the decoding of Caravaggio's works. I am convinced that verbal, visual and mathematical language together have to be considered as one entity. The appliance of this method would not be possible without the constant interweaving of mathematics, linguistics and art by which means the interdisciplinary character explains itself

    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

    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

    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    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
