Planetary health: human health in an era of global environmental change/ Dr Jennifer Cole.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index.Planetary Health - the idea that human health and the health of the environment are inextricably linked - promotes the preservation of natural systems for the benefit of human health. This book reviews the varied approaches to the subject, as well as providing case study chapters on the main links between human health and environmental change.Introduction to planetary health / Jennifer Cole -- Key concepts in planetary health / Jennifer Cole -- The evolutionary biology approach : a natural baseline for human health / Jennifer Cole -- The natural capital approach : opportunities and challenges / Andrew Farlow -- The one earth approach : planetary health in an era of limits / Stephen Quilley and Katharine Zywert -- The transhuman approach : technoscience and nature / Alex Foster -- Trends in human health / Jennifer Cole -- The demographic transition / Jennifer Cole -- The epidemiological transition / Jennifer Cole -- The ecological transition / Jennifer Cole -- Agriculture : land use, food systems and biodiversity / Jennifer Cole -- Urbanization, living standards and sustainability / Jennifer Cole -- Energy use, greenhouse gas emissions and global warming / Jennifer Cole -- Environment protection : a key tool for planetary health / Jennifer Cole -- Conclusions : equity, distribution and planetary health / Jennifer Cole -- Climate change, land use and waterborne infectious disease / Janey Messina -- Sanitation, clean energy, and fertilizer / Jennifer Cole -- Trees, wellbeing, and urban greening / Alice Milner and Tim Harris -- Livestock, antibiotics, and GHG emissions / Harriet Bartlett.1 online resourc
Data for: Sound, structure and meaning: The bases of prominence ratings in English, French and Spanish
No full textThree Excel spreadsheets contain prominence rating data and accompanying word-level phonological, syntactic, discourse and acoustic properties from a prominence rating study of English, French and Spanish. Prominence ratings obtained from untrained raters, for samples of conversational speech in English, French and Spanish. Spreadsheets are organized with each word from the speech excerpt presented on a separate row of the spreadsheet, with acoustic measures, part of speech, and frequency, and individual raters’ prominence ratings specified in columns. The spreadsheets include legends for all variable names, and information about acoustic measures calculated in the spreadsheet. The methods by which these data were obtained are described in the related research article (Cole, Hualde, Smith, Eager, Mahrt, Napoleão de Souza, Journal of Phonetics, in press).This work was supported by a grant to Jennifer Cole, José I. Hualde and Caroline Smith from the National Science Foundation [BCS 1251343 and 1251134]

Jennifer Cole, Forget Colonialism? Sacrifice and Art of Memory in Madagascar
Get PDFL’ouvrage de Jennifer Cole alimente et développe, sous un angle original, quelques-unes des problématiques importantes de l’ethnologie contemporaine, notamment celles qui renvoient à la production d’un univers local, sur la base de pratiques sociales spécifiques arrimées au contexte plus large d’un monde globalisé. C’est ce qui fait sa force et fait qu’il intéressera les lecteurs au-delà des spécialistes de Madagascar. En effet, la réflexion et la discussion qu’il initie combinent des outils ..
Humility, Free Will Beliefs, and Existential Angst
No full textIn Chapter 15, Thomas Nadelhoffer and Jennifer Cole Wright investigate the relationship between free will beliefs (or the lack thereof) and existential anxiety. In an attempt to shed light on this relationship, they set out to test whether trait humility can serve as a “buffer” between the two—that is, are people who are high in dispositional humility less likely to experience existential anxiety in the face of skepticism about free will? Given the perspectival and attitudinal nature of humility, Nadelhoffer and Wright predict that humble people will be less anxious in the face of stories about the purported death of free will (or the reduction of the mind to the brain). In a series of four studies, they test their hypothesis, with mixed results.,The findings, however, tell us something important about the current use of primes in studies designed to manipulate people’s belief in free will (usually to measure their pro- or antisocial effects).</p
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
