Determinants of young Poles’ election participation – conditions and challenges
No full textThe source of this data are reports from international research centers, the Central Statistical Office, as well as national programs and strategies dealing with youth issues. The article also presents the results of a research project coordinated by the author of the article. The study ‚Determinants of young Poles’ election participation in 2019’ was carried out by the INDICATOR Marketing Research Center at the request of Konrad Adenauer Foundation by means of computer-assisted telephone interviews (so-called CATI). 1200 interviews were carried out on a nationwide group of people aged 18–30. The sample was representative due to such variables as: gender, age, voivodship, size of the city of residence. The study was carried out on September 5–23, 2019. The conducted analyzes are a valuable source of information on the political attitudes of contemporary Polish youth, and also indicate the lack of involvement of Polish youth in social and political life and the great potential of this group of voters to influence the election result
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
Partycypacja młodych Polaków w wyborach parlamentarnych w 2023 r. – determinanty aktywności wyborczej
Get PDFAuthor presents an analysis of the electoral participation of young Poles in the context of the 2023 parliamentary elections. The sources of knowledge in the article are data from the author’s research project, which was carried out thanks to the funding obtained from a research grant of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Poland. The survey results analysis, supplemented by a literature search and analysis of secondary data, constitutes the article’s essence. The survey was conducted on March 13–30, 2023, using CATI computer-assisted telephone interviews. It was measured on a nationwide sample of 1,200 people aged 18–30, allowing conclusions about the general population that was surveyed. The sample was representative of such variables as gender, age, province, and size of residence. The research project provided relevant data to answer the highlighted research question on the factors that influenced the participation of young Poles in the 2023 parliamentary elections. In the course of the analysis, the hypotheses related to the theoretical approaches within the behavioral approach and new institutionalism were verified. Quantitative methods appropriate to the neopositivist paradigm were used to verify the hypotheses. The conclusions of the analysis have important implications for understanding changes in Poland’s political landscape, taking into account the role of the young electorate in this process.Autor przedstawia analizę partycypacji wyborczej młodych Polaków w kontekście wyborów parlamentarnych w 2023 roku. Źródłem wiedzy w artykule są dane z autorskiego projektu badawczego, który został zrealizowany dzięki pozyskanemu dofinansowaniu z grantu badawczego Fundacji Konrada Adenauera w Polsce. Analiza wyników badania, uzupełniona o kwerendę literatury przedmiotu i analizę danych wtórnych, stanowi istotę artykułu. Badanie zrealizowane zostało 13–30 marca 2023 r. metodą wywiadów telefonicznych wspomaganych komputerowo CATI. Pomiaru dokonano na ogólnopolskiej próbie 1200 osób w wieku 18–30 lat, umożliwiającej wnioskowanie na ogół badanej populacji. Próba była reprezentatywna ze względu na takie zmienne jak: płeć, wiek, województwo, wielkość miejsca zamieszkania. Projekt badawczy dostarczył istotnych danych, dzięki którym możliwe jest uzyskanie odpowiedzi na wyróżnione pytanie badawcze dotyczące czynników, które wpłynęły na udział młodych Polaków w wyborach parlamentarnych w 2023 r. W toku analizy zweryfikowano hipotezy, które odnoszą się do ujęć teoretycznych w ramach nurtu behawioralnego oraz nowego instytucjonalizmu. Narzędziem służącym weryfikacji hipotez są metody ilościowe właściwe dla paradygmatu neopozytywistycznego. Wnioski z analizy mają istotne implikacje dla zrozumienia zmian w krajobrazie politycznym Polski, z uwzględnieniem roli młodego elektoratu w tym procesie
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
