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
ВИКОРИСТАННЯ У ПРОФЕСІЙНІЙ ПІДГОТОВЦІ МАЙБУТНІХ ФАХІВЦІВ БУДІВЕЛЬНОЇ ГАЛУЗІ ІННОВАЦІЙНИХ ЕНЕРГОЕФЕКТИВНИХ ТЕХНОЛОГІЙ
No full textThe relevance: of developing and implementing energy-efficient technologies in the modern construction industry is driven by Russia\u27s ongoing energy-intensive war against Ukraine, which necessitates the formation of energy-saving behavior among all citizens and specialists and the implementation of energy-efficient technologies in all energy-consuming sectors of the domestic economy, one of which is construction.
Aim: To substantiate the importance of using modern building materials and innovative energy-efficient technologies in the professional training of vocational (vocational-technical) education students in the construction field to enhance energy efficiency, energy saving, and rational use of thermal energy in the modern construction industry of Ukraine.
Methods: Analysis of scientific sources, regulatory legal documents, and empirical data – to prove the importance of using modern building materials and innovative energy-efficient technologies in the professional training of vocational (vocational-technical) education students in the construction field; theoretical analysis, synthesis, and generalization – to form conclusions regarding the peculiarities of applying modern building materials and energy-efficient technologies in the educational process of vocational (vocational-technical) education institutions in the construction field.
Results: The main energy-economic indicators of Ukraine were identified and compared with those of other countries, revealing them to be negative (electricity consumption in Ukraine is 60%, while in France it is 40%, and in Great Britain – 35.8%); it was substantiated that the professional training of construction specialists requires familiarizing students with the problems and principles of sustainable development in construction (minimizing energy and material resource consumption during the construction and operation of building structures, reducing the negative impact of construction on the environment; comprehensive analysis of energy, environmental, economic, and socio-social issues of building construction, etc.).
Conclusions: It has been substantiated that to ensure the rational use of material and energy resources, increase energy saving in Ukraine\u27s housing and communal sector, and strengthen its energy independence, it is necessary to include in the content of professional training for future construction industry specialists familiarization with innovative energy-saving technologies in construction (design of energy-efficient buildings, energy performance certificates for buildings, thermal modernization of the housing stock, use of modern thermal insulation materials, installation of energy-saving windows, application of energy-saving engineering technologies and heating systems), environmental characteristics of energy-saving technologies, principles of energy-saving measures, etc.Актуальність розроблення і впровадження енергоефективних технологій в сучасній будівельній галузі зумовлюється продовженням енергетично виснажливої війни рф проти України, що потребує формування у всіх громадян і фахівців енергозаощадливої поведінки та впровадження енергоефективних технологій у всі енергозатратні галузі вітчизняної економіки, однією з яких є будівельна.
Мета: обґрунтувати важливість використання сучасних будівельних матеріалів та новітніх енергоефективних технологій у професійній підготовці здобувачів професійної (професійно-технічної) освіти будівельного профілю для посилення енергоефективності, енергозбереження, раціонального використання теплової енергії в сучасній будівельній галузі України.
Методи: аналіз наукових джерел, нормативно-правових документів та емпіричних даних – для доведення важливості використання сучасних будівельних матеріалів і новітніх енергоефективних технологій у професійній підготовці здобувачів професійної (професійно-технічної) освіти будівельного профілю; теоретичний аналіз, синтез та узагальнення – для формування висновків щодо особливостей застосування сучасних будівельних матеріалів та енергоефективних технологій в освітньому процесі закладів професійної (професійно-технічної) освіти будівельного профілю.
Результати: виявлено основні енергоекономічні показники України порівняно з показниками інших країн і з’ясовано, що вони є негативними (витрати електроенергії в Україні становлять 60%, тоді як у Франції – 40%, а Великобританії – 35,8%); обґрунтовано, що професійна підготовка фахівців будівельного профілю потребує ознайомлення здобувачів освіти з проблемами і принципами збалансованого розвитку у будівництві (мінімізація витрат енергії та матеріальних ресурсів у процесі спорудження та експлуатації будівельних конструкцій, зменшення негативного впливу будівництва на навколишнє середовище; комплексний аналіз енергетичної, екологічної, економічної га суспільно-соціальної проблематики зведення будівельних об’єктів тощо).
Висновки: обґрунтовано, що для забезпечення раціонального використання матеріальних і енергетичних ресурсів, підвищення енергозбереження житлово-комунального сектору України та посилення її енергетичної незалежності необхідно включити до змісту професійної підготовки майбутніх фахівців будівельної галузі ознайомлення з інноваційними енергозберігаючими технологіями у будівництві (проєктування енергоефективних будинків, енергетичний паспорт будинку, термомодернізація житлового фонду, використання сучасних теплоізоляційних матеріалів, встановлення енергозберігаючих вікон, застосування енергозберігаючих інженерних технологій та систем опалення), екологічними характеристиками енергозберігаючих технологій, принципами енергозберігаючих заходів тощо
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
