Historiography and the revolt history teaching
No full textThis presented study deals with the basic grounds for historiography especially with regard to the historie awareness and the revolt history teaching under present conditions of so called postmodern period in development of Slovakia. The author briefly glosses the fundamental levels of the Slovak revolt history presentation in context of the national, regional, and of the research of so called dailiness history, of prospective resource base as well as of their relevance for both the educational processes and the presentation in public
Konfliktné fenomény európskej identity, národná identita a výchova mládeže
Get PDFThe paper deals with the conflicting phenomena and the potential of creating a European identity which is in understanding the current period of relatively different sometimes controversial and even at European level. In the second part the author pays attention to the basic historical stages and factors for relevant events in European identity in relation to the national identity of Slovaks especially in Central Europe (Austro-Hungarian) context but also in European coordinates of contemporary history as well as today. The paper is a didactic concept of problems and therefore is in its third part in focus The educational relevance of focusing on educating youth (university students) to modern democratic citizenship with an illustration of teaching in a particular school subjectVotech Kori
The Role of Character Education and its Equivalent Subjects in the School Curriculum in Slovakia and Selected European Countries
No full textThe authors present results from the project APVV-0372–06: Conceptual approaches to Character Education as a school subject in Slovakia and in selected European countries. The literal translation of its Slovak name is Ethical Education. The aim of the methodology used in the project—the analysis and comparison of current conceptions of Character Education or its equivalent subjects in Slovakia with the selected European countries—was to design a new study programme for future teachers of the course. This article focuses in more detail on the results of the comparison of approaches and trends in various European countries towards Character Education as part of state school curricula. The question was whether this subject was compulsory, optional, or substitutive for Religious Education. This article compares the position of Religious Education versus Character Education in selected regions in order to understand the purposes and goals for the respective courses
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
