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
Systematic clinical examination of the locomotor system in physical medicine and rheumatology

Klinički pregled u medicinskoj djelatnosti jedan je od najvažnijih koraka u postavljanju ispravne dijagnoze. Zadatak je svakog kliničara da ga izvede točno i precizno. Primjena slikovnih metoda i dijagnostičkih testova nikada ne smije zamijeniti klinički pregled. Prvi kontakt iznimno je bitan da bi se uspostavio dobar odnos između pacijenta i liječnika te može biti od presudne važnosti pri daljnjem liječenju bolesti. Prije početka pregleda od pacijenta treba dobiti pristanak. Higijena kliničara tijekom svakog pregleda treba biti na visokoj razini. Najčešći razlog dolaska pacijenta je bol. Određeni dijelovi pregleda često u pacijenata izazivaju bol, a zadatak je liječnika da pacijent bude informiran i pripremljen na čitav tijek pregleda. Pregled započinjemo promatranjem ulaska pacijenta u ordinaciju. Pomagala za kretanje, vrsta hoda pa čak i obuća, mogu biti indikacija o kakvoj se bolesti radi. Tijekom uzimanja anamneze sastavni iznimno je bitno postaviti pacijentu ciljana pitanja. Pravilo „pogledaj-osjeti-pomakni“ sastavni je dio kliničkog pregleda.

Postavljanje ispravne dijagnoze te što brže izlječenje pacijenta cilj je svakog liječnika.The increase in elderly population throughout Europe has led to a proportional increase in the incidence of diseases of the musculosceletal system. Clinical examination is one of the most important steps in establishing the corect diagnosis in physical medicine and rheumatology, as is in the entire medicine. It is the task of every clinician to perform it accurately and precisely. The use of imaging methods and diagnostic tests should never replace a clinical examination. First contact between the patient and their clinician is extremely important to establishing a good relationship which is necessary for treatment, especially in case of a chronic disease. Before starting the examination consent needs to be obtained from the patient. Hygiene during each examination should be at a high level. Pain is the most common reason why patients choose to see the doctor. Certain parts of the examination often cause pain in patients, and it is the clinician's task is to inform the patient and prepare them beforehand. Examination begins by observing the patient immediately upon their arrival. Aids for movement, type of gait and even footwear can narrow down the differential diagnosis. During anamnesis it is extremely important to ask targeted questions. The "look-feel-move" rule is an integral part of the clinical examination. During the inspection, it is important to ensure the visibility of the parts of the body that are being examined. Palpation can cause discomfort to the patient and should be applied with understanding. Patient's inability to perform certain movements further helps clinicians reach the correct diagnosis. Making the correct diagnosis and curing the patient as quickly as possible is the goal of every doctor
The Analysis of Advanced Traveler Information Systems
Get PDFNapredni sustavi za informiranje putnika su osmišljeni kako bi pravovremeno, točno i pouzdano pružili informacije putnicima i na takav način doprinijeli lakši, sigurniji, efikasniji, efektivniji i ekonomičniji odabir putovanja ili nekakvog puta putnicima koji ih koriste, odnosno korisnicima. Pojavom novih tehnologija kao što su pametni telefoni, njihove aplikacije i slični uređaji se uvelike povećala upotreba naprednih sustava informiranja putnika. Potrebne informacije mogu bit dostupne korisnicima putem različitih medija, no u današnja vremena mediji za prijenos podataka koji se najčešće koriste su GPS signal i Internet mreža. Bitno je napomenuti da se informacije korisnicima mogu pružiti prije početka putovanja što se naziva predputno informiranje i za vrijeme samog putovanja što se naziva putno informiranje. Oba oblika informiranja moraju biti stvarnovremenskiažurni. Ovaj rad razmatra informiranje putnika općenito, načine njihove implementacije te opisuje postojeće sustave.Advance systems for informing travelers are designed to provide timely, accurate and reliable information to travelers and help them to make a decision about choosing easier, safer, more efficient, more effective and more economical way to travel. New technology like smart phones, their apps and similar devices increased using level of advanced systems for informing travelers. Necessary information can be delivered through a variety of mean, but today information transport which is more used is GPS signal and Internet network. It is important to remark that information can be delivered before trip and it is called pre-trip information and during the trip, it is called travel information. Both forms of information delivery need to be real-time updated. This work considers traveler information in general, ways of their implementation and describes existing systems

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
