Relationship between health and social status in Bronze Age culture Maros: necropolises Mokrin and Ostojićevo
Full text linkFilozofski fakultetPredmet istraživanja ove disertacije su skeletni i arheološki markeri zdravstvenog i društvenog
statusa osoba sahranjenih na nekropolama Mokrin i Ostojićevo. Analizirani su skeleti odraslih
individua pronađeni u moriškim grobovima, a posebna pažnja posvećena je analizi hipoplastičnih
defekata gleđi, te markerima nespecifičnog stresa (cribra orbitalia, porotična hiperostoza i
periostoza). Istraživan je odnos između preživljenih epizoda stresa u detinjstvu (praćenih kroz
prisustvo hipoplazije gleđi) i zdravstvenih ishoda i dužine životnog veka. U analizu su uključeni
podaci o polu/rodu i socijalnom statusu.
Cilj istraživanja je da kroz analizu zdravstvenog statusa odgovorimo na pitanja o individualnom i
populacionom zdravlju, vezi preživljenog stresa u detinjstvu sa kasnijim zdravstvenim ishodima,
ali i odnosu zdravlja i društvenog uređenja moriške kulturne grupe.
Pretpostavili smo da će individue koje su preživele epizodu stresa u detinjstvu imati više šanse da
razviju patološke promene kasnije u životu, da će živeti kraće, te da će biti nižeg rasta. Rezultati
istraživanja pokazali su da, merene na ovaj način, epizode stresa preživljene u detinjstvu nisu
uticale na ostvarivanje potencijala telesnog rasta, a da postoje naznake negativnog uticaja na
dužinu životnog veka kod muškaraca i ograničenog negativnog uticaja na zdravstveni status.
Analize odnosa zdravstvenih i društvenih markera upućuju nas na tumačenje društvenog
uređenja moriške kulturne grupe kroz model rangiranih društava po kome razlilke u pristupu
osnovnim resursima koji mogu uticati na zdravstvene ishode ne postoje među pripadnicima
različitog pola/roda i društvenih kategorija.The subjects of research of this dissertation are skeletal and archaeological markers of health and
social status of individuals buried in the necropolises of Mokrin and Ostojićevo. Skeletons of adult
individuals found in Maros graves were analyzed, and special attention was paid to the analysis
of hypoplastic defects of enamel, and markers of non-specific stress (cribra orbitalia, porotic
hyperostosis and periostosis). The relationship between survival of stress episodes in childhood
(monitored through the presence of enamel hypoplasia) and health outcomes and life expectancy
was investigated. Sex/gender and social status data are included in the analysis.
The aim of the research is to answer questions about individual and population health, the
connection between surviving childhood stress and later health outcomes, but also the
relationship between health and social organization of the Maros cultural group.
We hypothesized that individuals who survived an episode of childhood stress would be more
likely to develop pathological changes later in life, to have shorter life expectancy, and to be of
shorter stature. The results of the research showed that, measured in this way, episodes of stress
experienced in childhood did not affect the realization of physical growth potential, and that
there are indications of negative impact on life expectancy in men and limited negative impact on
health status. Analyses of the relationship between health and social markers lead us to interpret
the social organization of Maros cultural group using the model of ranked societies, which posits
that differences in access to basic resources that may affect health outcomes do not exist among
members of different sexes/genders and social categories.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
