Ivan Morozov and Sergei Shchukin: Two Russian patrons and collectors of modern French ar
Get PDFThe collections of Sergei Shchukin and Ivan Morozov as an object of the research were not chosen by chance. I have always been amazed by the zeal and talent with which these collections were created in a rather traditional Russian Empire of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Coming to the Pushkin Museum and State Hermitage Museum, visitors have a unique opportunity to admire the beauty of carefully collected masterpieces by well-known, prominent artists such as Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, Paul Gauguin, Paul Cézanne and even Pablo Picasso. How did it happen that Sergei Shchukin and Ivan Morozov, descendants from merchant families, discovered the gift of an art collector? How did Sergei Shchukin and Ivan Morozov manage to collect so many famous paintings of French Impressionist art in the patriarchal, conservative Russian Empire? To answer these questions, I conducted an in-depth analysis based on the available data, which were presented in academic publications, books, websites, articles. Bit by bit, material was collected about the personal lives of Sergei Shchukin and Ivan Morozov, their hobbies and contributions to the family business. One of the goals of this research is to trace the evolution of Shchukin and Morozov taste of art collecting, follow their path of the formation of collections through the prism of political, economic, social and cultural changes in the country. It is also essential to demonstrate the internationally recognized status of Shchukin and Morozov collections of works of art.As coleções de Sergei Shchukin e Ivan Morozov como objeto da pesquisa não foram escolhidas por acaso. Sempre me surpreendi o zelo e o talento com que estas coleções foram criadas no Império Russo, num país bastante tradicional do final do século 19 e início do século 20.
Chegando ao Museu Pushkin e ao Museu Hermitage do Estado, os visitantes têm uma oportunidade única de admirar a beleza das obras-primas cuidadosamente recolhidas por artistas bem conhecidos e destacados, como Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, Paul Gauguin, Paul Cézanne e até Pablo Picasso. Como aconteceu que Sergei Shchukin e Ivan Morozov, descendentes de famílias de comerciantes, descobriram o dom de um colecionador de arte? Como Sergei Shchukin e Ivan Morozov conseguiram colecionar tantas pinturas famosas de arte impressionista francesa no patriarcal e conservador Império Russo? Para responder a estas questões, realizei uma análise aprofundada com base nos dados disponíveis, que foram apresentados em publicações académicas, livros, sites, artigos. Pouco a pouco, o material foi coletado sobre a vida pessoal de Sergei Shchukin e Ivan Morozov, os seus passatempos e contribuições para os negócios da família. Um dos objetivos desta investigação é traçar a evolução de Shchukin e Morozov gosto de coleta de arte, seguir o caminho da formação destas coleções através do prisma das mudanças políticas, econômicas sociais e culturais no país. Também é essencial demonstrar o estatuto internacionalmente reconhecido das coleções de obras de arte de Shchukin e Morozov

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
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
