Marceli Januszewicz, syn Marcina. Sylwetka artysty z Wilnem w tle
No full textThis article is dedicated to the painter Marceli Januszewicz (1805 – after 1864) and his family. Having come to study in Vilnius from Podolia at a young age, he devoted many years to drawing the city\u27s monuments. His father Marcin Januszewicz (c. 1780 – after 1842) also studied at Vilnius University under Franciszek Smuglewicz and Jan Rustem; he was known as a talented copyist and picture restorer. The third artist in the family, Stanislaw (1834 – after 1864), son of Marceli, was born in Vilnius and was a talented draughtsman who copied his father\u27s works in his youth. Marceli Januszewicz\u27s life path, which led him to a school in the provincial town of Molodechno, which had a fatal impact on the artist\u27s fate, is discussed most extensively.
Biographies of the artists from the Januszewicz family have been supplemented with new data obtained in the archives, some facts or dates have been clarified and made more precise. An important discovery is that Martin Januszewicz\u27s real name was Marceli, which he used in his personal documents, while in university circles he was called Marcin. This fact is important for the interpretation of the source material.
The second part of the article is dedicated to a discussion of the works of Marceli Januszewicz the younger, questions of authorship and the presentation of newly attributed works to him. Watercolors from the series “Antiquities of the City of Vilnius" are discussed in the context of the artist\u27s relationship with Eustachy Tyszkiewicz. Summarizing the data from various sources, it can be concluded that although Januszewicz was not a member of the Archaeological Commission, he maintained close ties with the activities of the Museum of Antiquities.Artykuł poświęcony jest malarzowi Marcelemu Januszewiczowi (1805–po 1864) i jego rodzinie. Przyjechawszy na studia do Wilna z Podola w młodym wieku, wiele lat poświęcił na rysowanie zabytków miasta. Jego ojciec Marcin Januszewicz (ok 1780–po 1842) również studiował na Uniwersytecie Wileńskim u Franciszka Smuglewicza i Jana Rustema; znany był jako utalentowany kopista i konserwator obrazów. Trzeci artysta z rodziny – Stanisław (1834–po 1864), syn Marcela, urodził się w Wilnie, był utalentowanym rysownikiem, który w młodości kopiował prace ojca. Najobszerniej omówiona została droga życiowa Marcela Januszewicza, która doprowadziła go do szkoły w prowincjonalnym Mołodecznie, co miało fatalny wpływ na losy artysty.
Biografie twórców z rodziny Januszewiczów zostały uzupełnione o nowe dane pozyskane w archiwach, a niektóre fakty lub daty wyjaśniono i doprecyzowano. Istotnym odkryciem jest to, że prawdziwym imieniem Marcina Januszewicza było Marceli, którego używał w dokumentach osobistych, natomiast w środowisku uniwersyteckim nazywano go Marcinem. Fakt ten jest istotny dla interpretacji materiału źródłowego.
Druga część artykułu poświęcona jest omówieniu twórczości Marcela Januszewicza młodszego, kwestiom autorstwa oraz prezentacji nowo przypisanych mu dzieł. Akwarele z cyklu Starożytności miasta Wilna omawiane są w kontekście związków artysty z Eustachym Tyszkiewiczem. Podsumowując dane z różnych źródeł, można stwierdzić, że choć Januszewicz nie był członkiem Komisji Archeologicznej, miał bliskie związki z działalnością Muzeum Starożytności.

The genetic basis of pheochromocytoma
No full textUntil very recently, the majority of hereditary pheochromocytomas were related to the MEN 2 and the VHL. In rare instances, hereditary pheochromocytoma was reported in patients with NF1. In addition, nonsyndromic hereditary pheochromocytomas have been reported. Recently, three more genes (SDHD, SDHB, and SDHC) which are all related subunits of the mitochondrial complex II have been identified to cause susceptibility to pheochromocytoma and/or paraganglioma. Hence, mutation analysis of VHL, RET, SDHB, and SDHD is generally recommended in patients with pheochromocytoma regardless of their family history or other features suggestive for a hereditary form. Mutation analysis should start with VHL and RET. However, in the presence of extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma, it may be more useful to screen for VHL, SDHD and SDHB mutations. It is of interest that various different genes can lead to one type of tumor formation. A common pathway (i.e. oxygen sensing) has been shown for VHL and SDHX. However, although several genes that are involved in the pathogenesis of hereditary pheochromocytoma are known, the precise molecular steps in tumorigenesis are widely unknown. In addition, recent data in MEN 2 pheochromocytomas point to a 'second hit' mechanism as a trigger for tumor formation. The molecular pathogenesis of sporadic pheochromocytomas remains obscure [114]
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
The Thursday Murder Club: Launching a megabrand author - a publishing case study
No full textIn 2020, the Christmas book charts in the UK made headlines: Barack Obama’s eagerly awaited autobiography, The Promised Land, was beaten to the top spot by The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, a debut cosy crime novel set in a retirement village. Not only did Osman’s book beat the former US president’s expected bestseller, it also broke records, becoming the fastest-selling debut crime novel of all time. Although Osman has a certain level of fame in the UK from his TV appearances on shows such as Pointless, his celebrity status does not entirely explain the novel’s huge sales. This article tracks the acquisition, publication, and promotion journey of The Thursday Murder Club in order to understand the industry and cultural context of its success and to interrogate the role of celebrity in the creation of author brands. The findings suggest that the unexpected scale of the success of the book owed to a number of factors, including in-depth editing by the novel’s agent, editor, and author to tighten up the plot, an extensive and strategic promotional campaign, the pandemic (which drove interest in the book’s genre and themes), and the quality of the writing. We find that the book’s success was accentuated by Osman’s celebrity status rather than being entirely reliant on it. This research adds to the growing scholarship on celebrity authorship by means of an in-depth case study and provides insight into the processes behind publishing a ‘celebrity’ book and launching a megabrand author
