    U organizacijama gdje su uspostavljeni hijerarhijski odnosi lakše je definirati zadatke, ovlaštenja, odgovornosti i kompetencije pojedinih radnih mjesta. To podrazumijeva jasno definiranu organizacijsku shemu kao i druge elemente organizacijske strukture (informacijski tokovi, procesi i dr.). Ljude u procesima i organizaciji u cjelini potrebno je shematski i stvarno međusobno povezati, tako da svaki zaposlenik zna svoju poziciju i status kao i linije komunikacija i obvezne suradnje. Pri tom se uspostavljaju linijski i hijerarhijski odnosi koji se moraju temeljiti na principu podređenosti svakog zaposlenika u organizaciji samo jednom rukovoditelju.In organizations where hierarchical relationships are established, it is easier to define the tasks, authorizations, responsibilities and competencies of individual positions. This implies a clearly defined organizational scheme as well as other elements of the organizational structure (information flows, processes, etc.). People in the processes and the organization as a whole need to be connected schematically and really, so that each employee knows his position and status as well as the lines of communication and mandatory cooperation. In doing so, line and hierarchical relationships are established, which must be based on the principle of subordination of each employee in the organization to only one manager

    Ovaj rad ispituje kako su prošle i sadašnje promotivne aktivnosti oblikovale imidž otoka Hvara, rasvjetljavajući odnose između glavnih otočkih turističkih središta i otočke periferije. Prva od četiri faze procesa brendiranja destinacije temelji se na kritičkoj analizi identiteta otočkih gradova i sela. Kako bi se ispitale marketinške inicijative cijelog otoka i njegovih pet naselja, u radu je dan pregled literature iz područja brendiranja otoka i brendiranja turističkih destinacija. Uz povijesni pristup koristi i metodu deskriptivne analize. Dosadašnja istraživanja pokazala su da je percepcija otoka izvedena iz percepcije grada Hvara. Slika o otoku Hvaru kao destinaciji fragmentirana je i nije utemeljena na stvarnim lokalnim posebnostima, već otok prikazuje isključivo kao destinaciju sunca i mora. Kako bi se razvila raznolika turistička ponuda ključno je bolje korištenje brendiranja kao alata za uspostavljanje jedinstvenog imidža destinacije temeljenog na posebnostima otoka i, kao rezultat toga, za jačanje lokalnih otočkih identiteta.This paper examines how past and present promotional activities shaped the image of the island of Hvar, shedding light on the relationship between the island's main tourist centers and the island's periphery. The first of the four stages of the destination branding process is based on a critical analysis of the identity of island towns and villages. In order to examine the marketing initiatives of the entire island and its five settlements, the paper provides an overview of the literature in the area of island branding and tourism destination branding. In addition to the historical approach, he also uses the method of descriptive analysis. Previous research has shown that the perception of the island is derived from the perception of the city of Hvar. The image of the island of Hvar as a destination is fragmented and not based on real local peculiarities, but shows the island exclusively as a sun and sea destination. In order to develop a diverse tourist offer, it is essential to better use branding as a tool for establishing a unique destination image based on the island's peculiarities and, as a result, for strengthening local island identities

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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
