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
Effects of hypothyroidism on pancreatic islet development and tissue insulin signalling pathways in the ovine fetus
No full textThyroid hormones are important regulators of fetal growth and maturation, although their mechanism of action and interactions with other hormones are unclear. The overall aim of the project was to elucidate the effects of hypothyroidism on the growth and development of the sheep fetus in late gestation. Specifically, the project investigated the extent to which the changes in fetal growth induced by thyroid hormone deficiency were mediated by changes in pancreatic islet development and insulin signalling in fetal tissues. In nineteen twin-bearing pregnant ewes at 105-110 days of gestation (dGA; term~145dGA) and under general anaesthesia, one fetus was thyroidectomised, while the other was sham-operated. At either 129 or 143dGA, umbilical blood samples and a variety of fetal tissues were collected after euthanasia.
Hypothyroidism in utero did not affect fetal bodyweight but impaired skeletal growth and led to disproportionate patterns of organ growth. A 30-40% increase in pancreatic β-cell mass was observed in the thyroid deficient fetuses, compared to sham controls, and this was associated with increased plasma insulin and leptin concentrations. In studies using isolated fetal ovine pancreatic islets, β-cell proliferation in vitro was inhibited by T3 in a dose-dependent manner but was stimulated by the highest dose of insulin. Pancreatic β-cell proliferation was inhibited at low, and stimulated at high, leptin concentrations. Perirenal adipose tissue was enlarged in the hypothyroid fetuses due to an increase in the proportion of unilocular adipocytes, characteristic of white adipose tissue. The greater relative unilocular adipocyte mass was caused by hyperplasia in association with upregulation of the insulin signalling pathway. Kidneys of hypothyroid fetuses had no apparent changes in glomerular or tubular structure, but a greater water content may have accounted for the increased kidney mass seen in the thyroid deficient fetuses, compared to sham controls. No changes in insulin signalling or sodium transporter expression were seen in the kidneys of the hypothyroid fetuses.
This research demonstrates that the thyroid hormones are required in the ovine fetus during late gestation for the normal development of the endocrine pancreas, adipose tissue and kidney. Alterations in organ development in response to hypothyroidism may have short and long term consequences for carbohydrate metabolism, obesity and renal function
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
