Gerontologiske forståelsesrammer – hvad er (god) aldring?
No full textDet gerontologiske felt har på forskellig vis forsøgt at forstå og give mening til aldring som fænomen gennem formuleringen af begreber og begrebsrammer. Disse begreber og begrebsrammer har italesat forskellige forståelser af hvad aldring er, hvilken viden om aldring, det er vigtigt at producere, samt forskellige normer og idealer for god aldring. De både afspejler og har samtidig haft indflydelse på forskningspraksisser og policy-making, men kan også ses som forståelsesrammer, der har påvirket – og er blevet påvirket af – levede liv og hverdagspraksisser. Gennem en historisk præsentation og kritisk diskussion af centrale gerontologisk begrebsrammer som disengagement theory (oversat: ’afviklingsteori’ eller ’tilbagetrækningsteori’), activity theory (oversat ’aktivitetsteori’), og, særligt, succesfuld aldring, tegnes et billede af den udvikling og bevægelse i begreber, normer og praksisser, som har karakteriseret det gerontologiske felt op til i dag. Kapitlet afsluttes med en kort diskussion af begrebet aktiv aldring, samt nogle kritiske spørgsmål og en opfordring til at tænke kritisk over, hvor denne udvikling bør bevæge sig hen fremover
The establishment and functioning of the PRIMORE (European PRImary care MultiprOfessional REsearcher network) Project
No full textThere is a need for multiprofessional comprehensive studies to better understand the relationship between design and provision of primary care and long-term care and health outcomes. The PRIMORE (PRImary care MultiprOfessional REsearcher network) project aims at bringing together researchers with different backgrounds and from a wide range of professional groups within the fields of primary care research and long-term care research to develop and share knowledge for the benefit of research on municipal health and care services, and eventually, the quality of municipal health and care in Europe. Main activities of the project will be network development, capacity building, providing a platform where multiprofessional primary care research activities can take place and publishing position papers
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
