Life and Work of Jan Mertl
No full textHlavním cílem této práce je představit Jana Mertla a jeho dílo. Jan Mertl byl český sociolog. Narodil se v roce 1904 a zemřel v roce 1978 při autonehodě. Hlavními oblastmi jeho zájmu byly stát, politické strany a byrokracie. Jan Mertl byl zastáncem silného státu a dobře fungujícího byrokratického aparátu. V této práci popisuji jeho názory na tato témata. Jan Mertl byl členem pražské sociologické školy a snažil se přistupovat k vědeckému výzkumu nestranně. Jednou z částí této práce je popis jeho názorů na sociologický výzkum. Během nacistické okupace byl Jan Mertl místopředsedou Českého svazu pro spolupráci s Němci a po druhé světové válce byl obviněn z kolaborace a byl souzen. Díky svědeckým výpovědím a odbornému posudku Dr. Otakara Machotky byl Jan Mertl zproštěn obžaloby, ale jeho akademická kariéra přesto skončila. Toto téma je důležitou součástí mé práce, protože obvinění z kolaborace vážně ovlivnilo Mertlův život. Na konci své práce porovnávám Mertlovy názory na stát s nacistickými představami. Důvodem, proč jsem se rozhodl udělat toto srovnání, je Mertlovo obvinění z kolaborace. Chtěl jsem zjistit, jak se Mertlova představa podobala představám nacistické ideologie. Během mé práce jsem dospěl k závěru, že dílo Jana Mertla je stále aktuální.Katedra politologie a mezinárodních vztahůObhájenoMain goal of this work is to introduce Jan Mertl and his work. Jan Mertl was a Czech sociologist. He was born in 1904 and died in 1978 during a car accident. Main objects of his interest were state, political parties and bureaucracy. Jan Mertl was a supporter of strong state and good working bureaucracy. In this work I am describing his opinions about these topics. Jan Mertl was a member of the prague sociologic school and he tried to do science impartially. One part of this work is description of his opinions to sociologic research. During the Nazi occupation, Jan Mertl was a vice-chairman of the Czech Union for collaboration with Germans, and after Second World War he was accused of collaboration with Nazis and he was judged. Due to the testimonies and an expert opinion of Dr. Otakar Machotka, Jan Mertl was at the end acquitted, but his academic career has ended. This matter is an important part of my work, because the accusation of collaboration seriously affected Mertl's life. In the end of this work I am comparing Mertl's opinions on state with Nazi's opinions. The reason why I decided to do this comparison is Mertl's accusation of collaboration. I wanted to discover how are Mertl's opinions similar with Nazi's opinions. During my work I came to the conclusion that Jan Mertl's work is still actual
Jan Mertl and the concept of the "authoritative democracy"
No full textJan Mertl and the Concept of "Authoritative Democracy" Abstract: This text focuses on the shift that the political sociologist Jan Mertl has undergone in the 1930s, moving away from empirial sociological analysis through a critique of the Czechoslovak republic to the support of the concept of limited, "authoritative" democracy. My work seeks to identify the essential contemporary influences and ideological conflicts that may have contributed to the fact that Jan Mertl shifted his attention to a strong state as the only guarantee of basic political unity. Keywords: democracy, authoritarianism, pluralism, partisanshi
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
