Comment on Cramton and Katzman: Medicare Competitive Bidding Lowered Expenditures
No full textIn contrast to Cramton and Katzmans assertion that Medicare encountered serious problems with its pilot competitive bidding program, Thomas Hoerger of RTI International cites his early evaluations that suggested strikingly positive results.
Comment on Hoerger: Early Pilots of Medicare Auctions Brings No Solace to Auction Experts
Full text linkPeter Cramton and Brett Katzman stick to their guns: Medicare auctions remain fatally flawed and must be fixed. They argue that contrary to Hoerger\u27s comment, no comfort can be drawn from the fact that the market was able to withstand price reductions in early pilots
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Implementing a Classroom-Based ABA Model in a maintained special education school in Wales
Full text linkThere is little guidance for teachers about how best to teach young chil- dren in SEN schools in Wales. Recent research has shown that teaching based on Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is an effective model for Foundation Phase and Key Stage 1 in maintained special needs schools (Foran et al., 2015; Pitts, Gent and Hoerger, 2019). The current study replicated the model and included curriculum measures (P Scales) typically used by educators and the validated, normed-assessments (MSEL and VABSII) commonly used by researchers. Following the classroom-based ABA model implementation, participants made significant gains on curriculum measures and normed-assessments. The data from all assess- ments showed statistically significant gains with medium to large effect sizes. This study demonstrates how teachers can utilise behaviour analytic strategies to prepare students with readiness for learning skills essential for accessing the curriculum. This study outlines how techniques based on the principles of ABA can complement educational provision in maintained SEN schools in Wales.<br/
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
