Luitzen Egbertus Jan Brouwer
Get PDFThe Dutch mathematician Luitzen Egbertus Jan Brouwer (1889-1966) is famous in topology due to some relevant theorems (like the fixed point theorem) and he is well known both in the history of mathematics and in philosophy as the father of intuitionism. What strongly characterizes his scientific production is the strict linking between his Weltanschauung and his project of a constructive mathematics. Namely, starting with a mystical viewpoint about life, Brouwer has realized his project of building mathematics independently of language and without applicative aims: it is as an exploitation of the potentialities of our intuition of time.Il matematico olandese Luitzen Egbertus Jan Brouwer (1881-1966) è noto nella topologia per alcuni importanti teoremi (ad esempio, il teorema del punto fisso), mentre nella storia della matematica e nella filosofia è conosciuto come il padre dell'Intuizionismo. Ciò che caratterizza fortemente la sua produzione scientifica è lo stretto legame tra la sua visione del mondo e il suo progetto di una matematica costruttiva. A partire da una concezione mistica della vita, infatti, Brouwer ha portato avanti un progetto di edificazione della matematica come realizzazione, indipendente dal linguaggio e senza finalità applicative, delle potenzialità presenti nella nostra intuizione del tempo

Professor Jan Brouwer pleit voor aanstelling buurtrechters naar Brits model
No full textHangjongeren, burengerucht, geluidsoverlast, stankoverlast. De typische woonproblemen van de huidige tijd lijken moeilijk te bestrijden. Volgens hoogleraar algemene rechtswetenschappen Jan Brouwer zou het al een stuk beter gaan als de verantwoordelijkheid voor de openbare orde deels zou worden overgeheveld van de burgemeester naar de buurten zelf.
Brouwer pleit voor het Britse systeem, waarin wijken de mogelijkheid hebben om aan te dringen op het nemen van maatregelen. Op initiatief van een wijk zou bijvoorbeeld een door de overheid aangestelde buurtrechter iemand kunnen dwingen verplicht af te kicken.
Tot nu waren dit soort stelsels nog taboe in Nederland omdat de sterke nadruk die we hier leggen op de rechten van het individu vroeg of laat altijd in conflict komen met de belangen van het collectief.
Aad Naafs, voorzitter van de wijkvereniging Oosterparkwijk, ziet niks in de instelling van deze opgewaardeerde straatcoaches. Wijkagenten zijn volgens hem uitstekend in staat zijn om overlast tegen te gaan. Maar dan moeten ze niet gelijk weer verdwijnen als het even goed gaat, want dan komt de overlast ook weer terug. De preventieve werking van de aanwezigheid van wijkagenten is dus minstens zo belangrijk.
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
