Der Wettlauf zwischen dem Hasen und dem Igel
No full textThat this is a popular story is attested to by the fact that this is the second independent publication of it I have found. The other, from 1954, has the same title and was done by the Kinderbuchverlag in East Berlin. Like that work, this one has lively hedgehog illustrations. Here they remind one of Steiff's great hedgehog characters. Neither the text nor the illustrations run into the problems caused in the other version by allowing the wife hedgehog wife to wear a distinguishing babushka when she is supposed to look exactly like her husband! In fact, a particular picture is given on the upper right of 3 to show how alike the two are. The strategy of the race is clear to the reader from the start in this version, and the repeated hedgehog-line has its effect: Ich bin schon da! In this version the hare does seventy-four laps, and then his pride brings him death. Apparently Sadler's musical version first appeared in a publication from the Mannheim Musikverlag.Language note: GermanFrei nach einer alten Fabel von Maria Massa Georgi; Als Singspiel bearbeitet von Helmut Sadle
Der Wettlauf zwischen dem Igel und dem Hasen auf der kleinen Heide bei Buxtehude
No full textIs this famous story of the race between the hare and the hedgehog a fable? I admit that the charm of this booklet made me say yes for now, at least to including the booklet in the collection. This is hedgehog life as we children knew it from Steiff toys. This 32-page pamphlet has an illustration on every right-hand page, once the story starts. The main character here is Der Swinegel. He talks with the hare at a junction with signs pointing to Hamburg and Buxtehude. The cutest picture in the booklet may be that of mother hedgehog giving baths to her hedgehog children, while one of them sits on the hedgehog pot. Another strong image shows the hare lying on the field exhausted after the race. The moral is twofold: despise no one, and choose a wife that looks just like you! Might this booklet have been a souvenir booklet done by the city itself? Buxtehude is not far outside Hamburg. The last page shows the seal of Buxtehude. The introduction at the beginning of the pamphlet is titled not from the story but simply Buxtehude. According to this introduction, the story was given its final form in 1840 by Wilhelm Schröder from Oldendorf in niederdeutscher Mundart. The Brothers Grimm took over this version in their collection. The verso of the title-page says that it is a second edition but does not say when the first might have been.Language note: German2.

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
