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
Activist poster and an analysis of LGBTQ+ activist posters and a preparation of a series of posters
No full textNamen diplomskega dela je bil obravnavati aktivistični plakat skozi zgodovino in njegovo vlogo v protestih in aktivizmu. Posebej se je osredotočalo na plakat v aktivizmu lezbijk, gejev, transspolnih oseb in oseb, ki se opredeljujejo kot kvir (LGBTQ+).
Skozi zgodovino so umetniki in aktivisti za izražanje družbenega in političnega nezadovoljstva uporabljali plakat. S pomočjo te umetniške oblike so aktivisti opolnomočili posameznike in skupnosti. Tvorile so se prepoznavne podobe, simboli in slogani, ki so bili ključni del družbenih gibanj in njihovih uspehov. Kljub spletu in družbenim medijem plakat v 21. stoletju še vedno ostaja priljubljena oblika javnega govora, preko katerega se obravnava širok spekter vprašanj, kot so globalno segrevanje, pravice žensk, zaščita divjih živali itd.
V teoretičnem delu diplomskega dela je bil najprej raziskan razvoj aktivističnega plakata skozi zgodovino in opisane so bile družbenopolitične razmere v zgodovini, zaradi katerih so nastali določeni aktivistični plakati. V nadaljevanju so bili podrobneje predstavljeni plakati, ki so nastali zaradi potreb aktivizma LGBTQ+. Sledilo je nekaj primerov teh plakatov, ki sta jim dodani razlaga in likovna analizaopisan je bil tudi stil aktivističnega plakata.
Na osnovi smernic, ki so bile podane v teoretičnem delu, se je izdelalo tri plakate na temo aktivizma LGBTQ+, katerih cilj je bil ozaveščati o tematikah, kot so biseksualnost, spolne norme in vidnost LGBTQ+. Za oblikovanje plakatov se je uporabljalo programsko opremo Adobe (Illustrator, InDesign). Izdelani plakati so bili analizirani s podatki, pridobljenimi s spletno anketo, nato pa je bila opravljena tudi vsebinska in likovna analiza teh plakatov.The purpose of the thesis was to present the activist poster and its role in protests and activism through history. It was mainly focused on the posters in LGBTQ+ activism.
Throughout history, both artists and citizens have used posters to express social and political discontent. Through this art form activists empowered individuals and communities. Through posters they produced recognizable images, symbols in slogans that were a key part of social movements and their success. Despite the development of internet and social media in 21st century the poster still remains a popular form of public speech and is used to address a wide range of issues such as global warming, women’s rights, wildlife protection, etc.
In the theoretical part of the thesis the development of the activist poster throughout history was researched and the socio-political situations that were the reason for creation of activist posters, were described. Furthermore the posters, created for the needs of LGBTQ+ activism, were described in more detail. What followed were some examples of these posters, their interpretation and art analysis. The style of the activist poster was also described.
With the guidelines obtained in the theoretical part, three posters on the topic of LGBTQ+ activism were made. Their purpose was to raise awareness of topics such as bisexuality, gender norms and LGBTQ+ visibility. The practical part was carried out using Adobe software (Illustrator, InDesign). Created posters were analyzed with data obtained through an online survey. What followed was their content and art analysis
A REVIEW OF GOOD SOCIAL CONTROL PRACTICES IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF MARIBOR
Get PDFV Mestni občini Maribor (v nadaljevanju MO Maribor) za varnost skrbijo izvajalci družbenega nadzorstva: policija, zapori, sodišča, carinska služba in tožilstvo. Veliko vlogo pri zagotavljanju varnosti v lokalni skupnosti imajo tudi gasilci, reševalci nujne medicinske pomoči, redarska služba, civilna zaščita in vojska. V diplomskem delu smo predstavili problematiko učinkovitosti sodelovanja med izvajalci družbenega nadzorstva ter vlogo organov pri zagotavljanju varnosti v MO Maribor.
V raziskovalnem delu smo na podlagi informativnih razgovorov ugotavljali, na kakšen način sodelujejo institucije družbenega nadzorstva in ali je sodelovanje učinkovito ali ne. Rezultati so pokazali, da sodelovanje večina ocenjuje kot učinkovito, je pa treba za večjo zagotavljanje varnosti v MO Maribor vpeljati nekaj sprememb. Podatki kažejo, da bi bilo za učinkovitejše sodelovanje treba zmanjšati predvsem odzivni čas. To pomeni, da bi se vsi hitreje odzivali na probleme, ki se pojavljajo v samih postopkih. Večkrat bi bilo treba organizirati skupna izobraževanja oz. srečanja, kjer bi organi lahko izmenjali razna mnenja in dileme, ki se pojavljajo pri samem delu. S tem bi zagotovili učinkovitejše medsebojno sodelovanje. Na podlagi analize statističnih podatkov smo ugotavljali, ali je mesto Maribor varno mesto v primerjavi z Ljubljano in Celjem. Podatki so pokazali, da je Maribor varnejše mesto v primerjavi z obema izbranima mestoma, a kljub temu menimo, da bi bilo treba uvesti spremembe (učinkovitejše sodelovanje med izvajalci družbenega nadzora, več nadzora na ulicah, zmanjšanje stopnje brezposelnosti), ki bi zmanjšale stopnjo kriminalitete v mestu in s tem še povečale stopnjo varnosti v MO Maribor.
Sodelovanje med izvajalci družbenega nadzorstva je v večini učinkovito, a hkrati nakazuje, da bi bilo treba uvesti izboljšave, ki bi pripomogle k večji učinkovitosti. Predlogi izboljšav so: skupna izobraževanja različnih izvajalcev družbenega nadzorstva, učinkovitejše izvajanje postopkov, večkratna druženja različnih izvajalcev, kjer bodo lahko brez zadržkov govorili o težavah, vključevanje in sodelovanje različnih organov pri različnih postopkih ter uvedba team buildingov, kjer bi se izvajalci družili izven delovnega okolja in tako stkali prijateljske vezi, ki bi morda kasneje privedle do lažjega komuniciranja različnih izvajalcev družbenega nadzorstva in s tem k učinkovitejšemu delu.Social service inspectorate (police, prisons, courts, customs and the prosecution) takes care of security in the municipality of Maribor. Great role in providing security in local community play firefighters, emergency medical service, municipal police, civil protection and the forces. Diploma thesis deals with issues that concern the effectiveness of cooperation between the social control contractors and the authorities’ role in providing safety in municipality of Maribor.
On the basis of informative discussions the empirical part of diploma paper established how different social control institutions cooperate and if this cooperation is effective or not. The results showed that the cooperation is mostly evaluated as effective, although it would be necessary to provide better security in municipality of Maribor with certain changes. The data shows that for more effective cooperation they should shorten the response time. That means all would response faster to problems that occur in various procedures. There should be more often organised common courses or meetings where could authorities share different opinions and dilemmas that cause problems in their work, so they could ensure more effective cooperation. On the basis of statistical data analysis we were establishing other the city of Maribor is safe in comparison to Ljubljana and Celje. The results showed that Maribor is safer than both other chosen cities, but despite that we believe that changes should be made (more effective cooperation among social control contractors, tighter control on the streets, lower the degree of unemployment), that would reduce the degree of crime rate and increase the degree of safety in municipality of Maribor.
The cooperation among social control contractors is mostly effective, but at the same time it indicates that the improvements which should be made would aid to higher effectiveness. Suggestions for improvements: common courses for various social control contractors, more effective procedure performing, multiple contractors socialising, were they could speak their minds about problems without any impediments, including in cooperation of different authorities in various procedures, team-building introduction, where contractors would socialise outside work environment and form friendly relationships which could lead to further better communication among different social control contractors and more effective work
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
