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

Get PDFWydział Studiów EdukacyjnychCelem niniejszej pracy była próba ukazania procesu doświadczania macierzyństwa wśród kobiet z uszkodzonym słuchem. Przez doświadczanie macierzyństwa przyjęto te aspekty przeżyć, które są otwarte, na to co nowe w biografiach badanych kobiet. Wykluczono zatem przypadkowość, która jest możliwa w życiu tych kobiet, które nie chcą macierzyństwa bądź jest ono dla nich tylko nietrwałym epizodem.
Zastosowano metodę badań jakościowych o charakterze częściowo ustrukturyzowanym. Założono pewien zakres swobody wypowiedzi narratorek, które z pomocą pytań odtwarzały swoje drogi życiowe. Znaczna część wypowiedzi respondentek wskazywała na uszkodzenie słuchu, jako czynnik będący źródłem lęku w doświadczaniu macierzyństwa. Respondentki podkreślały, iż posiadana dysfunkcja zmusza je, jako matki, do posiadania podwyższonej koncentracji w opiece nad dzieckiem. W grupie Głuchych matek często występowała autorefleksja dotycząca stereotypów społecznych dotyczących niesłyszących matek. Głuche kobiety chociaż posiadają mocniejsze poczucie własnej wartości w roli matki, to rzadziej są skłonne do dewaloryzowania siebie w kontekście posiadanej dysfunkcji. Jednocześnie częściej opowiadają o dyskryminacjach, z jakimi spotykają się w swoich środowiskach społecznych (stereotyp „głuchy to głupi”). Wyniki niniejszej pracy wzmacniają myślenie emancypacyjne dotyczące niepełnosprawnych kobiet.The aim of this study was to present the process of experiencing motherhood among hearing-impaired women. Through the experience of motherhood, those aspects of the experience that are open to what is new in the biographies of the surveyed women were adopted. Therefore, the randomness that is possible in the lives of those women who do not want motherhood or which for them is only a temporary episode was excluded.
The partially structured qualitative research method was used. A certain degree of freedom of expression was assumed for the narrators who recreated their life paths with the help of questions. A significant part of the respondents' statements indicated hearing impairment as a factor that was a source of anxiety in experiencing motherhood. The respondents emphasized that their dysfunction forces them, as mothers, to have increased concentration in caring for the child. In the group of Deaf mothers, there was often self-reflection regarding social stereotypes about deaf mothers. Deaf women, although they have a stronger self-esteem as mothers, are less likely to devalue themselves in the context of their dysfunction. At the same time, they talk more often about the discrimination they face in their social environments (the stereotype "deaf is stupid"). The results of this study reinforce emancipatory thinking about disabled women
Difficulties and Examples of Support in the Education Process in the Environment of People with Hearing Impairments
Get PDFThe article presents the problems of deaf and hard of hearing people in education. This topic is widely analyzed. The text describes the difficulties experienced by students at school, at various stages of learning, and the barriers experienced by deaf and hard of hearing students at higher education levels. In general, the hearing deficit entails various communication complications. The person with hearing impairment has a limited opportunity to have different experiences and what is most important in the text – hearing loss or deafness often makes it impossible to gain an optimal education. There are different methods of educating people from the non-hearing environment, depending on the degree of hearing impairment. Hearing impaired student often has difficulty understanding Polish, as it is not always their first language (their first language may be the Polish sign language). Hearing impaired students sometimes don’t understand academic texts because they have weaker poorer vocabulary due to their communication dysfunction. Another issue is the social isolation of many people with hearing impairments which often have a dilemma which environment to integrate with – with hearing or hearing impaired? Teaching staff approaches such people in different ways. Stereotypes do not help in educational progress (for example, the assumption that such students communicate only in sign language). It is important to be aware of the types of hearing loss and the different types of hearing (each hearing impaired hears differently and needs an individual approach). Finally, the article discusses the issue of education of people with hearing impairment from the category of “space”. Through “space” you can understand here the environment (school space, classes and associated architectural-acoustic barriers) as well as the language of the Deaf. The sign language is specifically designed for living space (some of the signatures must be shown in the specified movement and direction, depending on the intention of the sender).4324726115Studia Edukacyjn

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
