Philosophy as the Rationality of a Worldview. On the 70th Anniversary of the Birth of Ivan Macan (1939 -2009)
Get PDFPrilog je napisan povodom sedamdesete godišnjice života isusovca Ivana Macana, cijenjenoga profesora filozofije na Filozofskom fakultetu Družbe Isusove u Zagrebu i njegova prvog dekana, uglednoga člana Hrvatske pokrajine Družbe Isusove te velikoga zaslužnika časopisa Obnovljeni život, s kojim je počeo surađivati već u prvoj godini njegova ponovnog izlaženja (1971). Autor želi najprije upoznati čitatelje s osnovnim biografskim podacima jubilarca, zatim se osvrnuti na njegov lik kao profesora i pedagoga, a potom iznijeti na vidjelo i njegovo filozofsko stvaranje, u kojemu osobito mjesto zauzimaju bavljenje L. Wittgensteinom, izvrsno sročeni udžbenici nekih filozofskih disciplina te prilozi iz teoretske i praktične filozofije, kojima valja pribrojiti i neke adhortativne napise. Naposljetku se donosi i cjelokupna Macanova bibliografija.This article was written to mark the seventieth year of life of Ivan Macan, S.J., the esteemed Professor of Philosophy at the Faculty of Philosophy of the Society of Jesus in Zagreb and the Faculty's first dean, whose merits include his continual contributions to the Journal Obnovljeni život since the first year of its renewed publication (1971). The author wishes to familiarize the readers with the jubilarian's basic biographical data, to portray his work as professor and pedagogue, to bring to the fore his philosophical creativeness, among which his reflections on Wittgenstein take a prominent place, as well as his excellently worded textbooks on certain philosophical disciplines and articles on theoretical and practical philosophy, which include also his adhortative writings. Finally, Ivan Macan's entire bibliography is presented
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
Centesimus Annus. The Social Encyclic of Pope John Paul II
Get PDFA hundred years ago an important event occurred, i.e. publication of the first social encyclic of pope Leon XIII who, as supreme teacher, elucidated the Church's attitutde towards social problems, especially the then acute workers' question. The author discusses the contents and the leading thoughts of the recently published encyclic of the present Pope
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
Faith as a Human Experience: a Philosophical-Anthropological Approach
Get PDFTemu „Vjera kao ljudsko iskustvo“ autor članka obrađuje tako da pokušava protumačiti glavne tematske pojmove, a to su: iskustvo, ljudsko iskustvo, religiozno iskustvo, „transcendentalno“ iskustvo, vjerovanje, vjera, iskustvo vjere, u prvomu redu vjere u Boga. On se suočava s raznim mišljenjima, osobito na polju filozofije, posebice onih filozofa koji se kritički odnose prema svakomu religijskom stavu. Posebnu pozornost posvećuje kritici govora o Bogu (teološkim stavovima) i mogućem razrješavanju problema. Pokazuje se da čisto filozofski pristup nalazi teškoće u opravdavanju religijskih tvrdnji i stavova. Ukratko se dotiče i teškoća na području psihologije, obraćajući se najviše poznatom psihologu religije C. G. Jungu.In the present paper the author deals with the topic of "Religion as a human experience," trying to interpret the main thematic concepts, which are: experience, human experience, religious experience, "transcendental" experience, belief, faith, faith experience, and above all faith in God. He is faced with a variety of opinions, especially in the field of philosophy, particularly those philosophers who are critical of any religious viewpoint. Particular attention is devoted to criticism of religious language (speaking about God or theological statements) seeking solutions of the problems. It has been pointed out that in a purely philosophical approach is difficult to justify religious claims and attitudes. At the end the author briefly touches on the difficulties in the field of psychology, addressing the most famous Swiss psychologist of religion C. G. Jung
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
