Edyta Stein w pamięci Wrocławia
The article seeks to explore the role of Edith Stein’s memory in creating the contemporary identity of the city of Wrocław. The author distinguishes between two forms of this memory, that is to say remembrance and symbolic places (lieux de mémoire). The places of remembrance of Edith Stein, who was born in Breslau, are connected with her biography and the time she spend in this city. The symbolic places of the memory of Edith Stein represent the values of her life (such as the European Peace Cross, meticulously analysed by the author). Both forms of memory variously transformed the space of the city in significant landscape
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
Wspólnota naszych snów. O pamięci zapisanej w marzeniach sennych
The article presents Stefan Bednarek’s concept of studying dreams as a kind of collective memory. He claimed that in dreams one can find a condensed “Polish idiom: historically formed collective images of the national past.” Symbols, myths, legends and fantasies that manifest themselves in dreams can and do constitute cultural heritage (which consists of a literary canon as well as products of popular culture). It is possible to compose a national dream book out of them. In this concept dreams are treated as hidden sources of history of culture. Dreams offer an entrance to experience and emotions which are not easy of access; they are entwined with values that we ascribe to occurrences in our personal lives as well as to historic events. The sources that most commonly make note of dreams are memoirs and biographies. The article presents Bednarek’s culturological research on the dreams of Polish people in the PRL period (especially during martial law) with a mind to answer the question of whether we can also find such a community of our dreams today.Artykuł przedstawia koncepcję Stefana Bednarka badania snów jako rodzaju pamięci zbiorowej. Zdaniem autora w snach można w skondensowanej formie odnaleźć „polski idiom: ukształtowany w toku dziejów zespół wyobrażeń na temat przeszłości narodu”. Obecne w snach symbole, mity, legendy i fantazmaty są dziedzictwem kultury, na które składa się zarówno kanon literacki, jak i wytwory kultury popularnej. Ułożyć z nich można swego rodzaju narodowy sennik. Sny w tej koncepcji traktowane są jako ukryte źródła historii kultury, dające dostęp do doświadczeń i emocji inaczej trudno dostępnych, związanych z wartościami, jakie przypisujemy zarówno temu, co nam się indywidualnie przydarza, jak i momentom wspólnej historii. Ich zapisem są przede wszystkim wspomnienia i biograficzne relacje. Tekst prezentuje badania Bednarka nad snami Polaków w okresie PRL-u i stanu wojennego w perspektywie pytania o to, czy dziś także możemy odnaleźć wspólnotę naszych snów
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
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
