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
Динаміка психопатологічних порушень та рівня соціального функціонування у хворих на шизофренію під впливом комплексного лікування
Get PDFAim of the research: Assessment of the effectiveness of art therapy in the system of therapy and rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia.Objects and methods: During the study, a comprehensive clinical-psychopathological and psychodiagnostic study of 125 patients, both sexes, at the age of 20-45 years (average age 35.0±2.0 years) with diagnosed schizophrenia in the stabilization of the condition was performed. The main group (who took part in art therapy) was 95 people (54 women and 41 men). The control group included 30 patients (16 women and 14 men) who received standard regulated therapy in the hospital.Results. In the course of the study, the system of art therapy in the complex therapy of patients with schizophrenia was proposed and their effectiveness was proved.Under the influence of art therapy in the complex treatment of schizophrenia, rapid reduction of psychopathological symptoms, normalization of the emotional state, stabilization of patients' behavior, improvement of cognitive parameters, increase of psychophysical activity of patients is noted, which is confirmed by data of dynamic analysis of clinical and psychopathological violations on PANSS scale.There is a pronounced positive dynamics of the level of social functioning in patients with schizophrenia, which included in the traditional complex of treatment and rehabilitation measures art therapy on the scale of general behavioral dysfunction, dysfunction when performing social roles in society; functioning of patients in the hospital and dysfunctional modifying factors.Conclusions. Under the influence of art therapy in the complex treatment of schizophrenia, a rapid reduction in psychopathological symptoms, an increase in the duration and quality of remission is observed, which is confirmed by the data of the dynamic analysis of clinical and psychopathological disorders on the PANSS scale.Against the background of art therapy in 82.2 % of patients with schizophrenia was achieved a stable therapeutic effect, 11.1 % - the state remained without dynamics, and 6.7 % - there was a relapse of the disease. In patients with schizophrenia, optimization of the coping strategy of problem-solving behavior with the predominance of coping-oriented problem solving is noted.У ході дослідження запропонована система арт-терапії в комплексному лікуванні та реабілітації хворих на параноїдну шизофренію. Під впливом арт-терапії у комплексному лікуванні шизофренії відмічається швидка редукція психопатологічної симптоматики, нормалізація емоціонального стану, стабілізація поведінки хворих, поліпшення когнітивних показників, підвищення психофізичної активності хворих, що підтверджувалося даними динамічного аналізу клініко-психопатологічних порушень за шкалою PANS
Розробка методології арт-терапії в системі терапії хворих на шизофренію
Get PDFAim: The development and probation of the methodology of art-therapy in the system of therapy and rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia.Materials and methods: During the research out the complex clinical-psychopathological and psychodiagnostic examination of 125 patients of both sexes, 20–45 years old (mean age 35,0±2,0 years ) with the established diagnosis schizophrenia in the period of stabilization was carried. The main group (patients took part in art-therapy) included 95 persons (54 women and 41 men). The control one included 30 хворих (16 women and 14 men), who received the standard regulated therapy at a hospital.Research results. During the research the two-stage system of art-therapy in the complex therapy of patients with schizophrenia was offered and its effectiveness was proved. There was established the expressed positive dynamics of the level of social functioning of patients and positive dynamics of positive, negative and general psychopathological syndromes by РANSS scale.Art-therapy favors the fast social reintegration of patients with schizophrenia, improvement of their life quality.Conclusion. The art-therapeutic intervention of patients with schizophrenia must be directed on: patients’ busy being at the expanse of their involvement in meaningful activity; development and support of their creative skills; sensor stimulation; reaction to feelings and experience of positive emotions, connected with the creative activity and its results; support and development of communicative skills, independence and self-organization; psychological integration of patients. Art-therapy for patients with schizophrenia, based on elaborated principles, is characterized by the higher effectiveness comparing with traditionally used methodsУ ході дослідження запропонована двоетапна система арт-терапії в комплексній терапії хворих на шизофренію та доведено їх ефективність.

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
