“Very few identify themselves as perpetrators of violence” : A study of what enables and hinders the detection of perpetrators of domestic violence in the investigative work within the social services
No full textStudien har som syfte att undersöka vad som hindrar och möjliggör upptäckt av våldsutövare i arbetet med ekonomiskt bistånd och våld i nära relationer inom socialtjänsten. Studien baseras på kvalitativa, semistrukturerade intervjuer med åtta yrkesverksamma handläggare inom dessa två områden. Empirin analyseras utifrån Lispkys teori om gräsrotsbyråkraten samt Losekes socialkonstruktionistiska teori om sociala problem. Till det läggs perspektiv från Weiner om attribution samt Christies teori om det ideala offret. Studien visar att handläggare över lag är positiva till att arbeta med upptäckt av våldsutövare, även om detta släpar efter i relation till ett mer väletablerat arbete med upptäckt av våldsutsatta. Kunskapen om upptäckt utgår därför från den utsatta, och anpassade rutiner och verktyg saknas ännu i stor utsträckning för upptäckt av utövare. Möjligheter till upptäckt finns i ökad kunskap, systematiskt frågande och ett gott bemötande. Bemötandets möjligheter finns i en tillitsfull relation mellan handläggare och klient, där det kan skapas utrymme för självreflektion och öppenhet. För detta krävs också en helhetssyn för att inte missa signaler som tyder på våld. Synen på våldsutövaren är dubbel. Å ena sidan beskrivs en förändringsbar individ som på grund av omständigheter utanför dennes kontroll har drivits till att använda våld. Parallellt med denna bild målas en manipulativ person, driven av vilja till makt och kontroll. Båda är ovilliga att be om och ta emot stöd och hjälp. I förhållande till den tudelade bilden av våldsutövaren går även att skönja ett dubbelt förhållningssätt där handläggaren på ett teoretiskt plan understryker våldsutövarens behov av stöd till förändring samtidigt som man i praktiken känner ett motstånd och en ovilja att hjälpa en förövare.This study aimes to investigate what hinders and enables the detection of perpetrators of violence in the work with economic assistance and domestic violence within social services. The study is based on qualitative, semi-structured interviews with eight professionals working in these two areas. The empirical data were analyzed using Lipsky’s theory of street-level bureaucracy and Loseke’s social constructionist theory of social problems. Additionally, perspectives from Weiner on attribution and Christie on the ideal victim were incorporated. The study shows that caseworkers are generally positive about working with the detection of perpetrators of violence, even though this work lags compared to the more well-established work on detecting victims of violence. Knowledge about detection is therefore based on working with the victims, and adapted routines and tools are still largely lacking for the detection of perpetrators. Opportunities for detection of perpetration of violence lie in increased knowledge, systematic questions, and positive engagement. Positive engagement creates opportunities through a trusting relationship between the caseworker and the client, where space can be created for self-reflection and openness. This also requires a holistic view not to miss signals indicating violence. The view of the perpetrator is dual. On the one hand, a changeable individual is described, who due to circumstances beyond his control has been driven to use violence. Alongside this image, a manipulative person driven by a desire for power and control is portrayed. Both are unwilling to ask for and receive support and help. In relation to the dual image of the nature of the perpetrator, a dual approach can also be discerned, where the caseworker theoretically emphasizes the perpetrator’s need for support to change while in practice feeling resistance and reluctance to help a perpetrator

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
