Current strategies for animal welfare in the food service sector in Norway, UK and Italy
No full textFood service is a vast and diverse market within Europe, and the world, as such it is notoriously hard to define. The definition used here has been the commercial provision of prepared food and/or drink to people who are away from their homes, for consumption shortly after purchase. The structure of the food service markets for Norway, Italy and Sweden is outlined in Chapter 26. This includes in-depth account of the current and potential market for welfare-friendlier foodstuffs in these countries. Chapter 27 describes a canteen-based experiment of offering a welfare-friendlier food product to consumers. Chapter 28 is a synthesis of the research findingss and some concluding point
European meat and dairy retail distribution and supply networks: a comparative study of the current and potential markets for welfare-friendly foodstuffs in six European countries
No full textPart II outlines generic findings about retailing practices for welfare-friendly products. Chapter 10 identifies the importance of retail brands in understanding how the market for welfare-friendly products currently operates through discussing the practices of brand management and how these relate to farm animal welfare. Two major dynamics are identified:- brand protection and assuring for minimum standards of farm animal welfare within the supply network;- positive use of farm animal welfare as a way to differentiate both product ranges and individual products.There is an overview of commercial relations between retailers, manufacturers, farmers/farmer cooperatives and NGOs/industry bodies. Chapter 11 is an overview of the particularities of the market for each of the product sectors - dairy, beef, egg, pork and chicken. Together, chapters 10 and 11 present important actors in the retail distribution and supply networks through examining both the commercial relations between different actors and how there are distinctive differences between product sectors. Chapter 12 presents summaries of the market for each study country, covering: regulation and the general interest in farm animal welfare, how the market for animal welfare-friendly products operates across individual product sectors, and what is the potential for growth in the welfare-friendly market. It explains how countries create an important cultural background for understanding why the market operates differently from country to country. Chapter 13 is a summary of major pan-European bodies and their role in regulation, and wider bodies of representation. It considers how Europe as a trading block is responding to animal welfare.Chapter 14 looks at the impact of global trade on the commercial practices presented in Chapter 10. Here we focus on the Eastern European market, pan-European buying groups, competition between EU and rest of the world, standards and labelling, global politics and health

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
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
