Positive and Negative Aspects of Choral Competitions
Cilj je ovog rada prikazati pozitivne i negativne aspekte zborskih natjecanja. Rad se osvrće na povijesni razvoj zborskog pjevanja – od samih početaka glazbe pa sve do 21. stoljeća, kada je zborska glazba znatno kompleksnija i popularnija u svijetu glazbe. U radu se navode pozitivne i negativne strane zborskih natjecanja u odgoju i obrazovanju te kakva je uloga natjecanja pri motivaciji učenika, zatim karakteristike uspješnog dirigenta kao središnje osobe svakog pjevačkog zbora te karakteristike dirigenta koje su pjevači istaknuli kao važne za uspješan rad. U radu je istaknuta kultura rada s pjevačkim zborom, zatim koji su sve elementi potrebni za uspješne zborske pokuse i pripremu te na koncu, odlazak zbora na natjecanje. U radu se opisuje uloga i utjecaj zborskih natjecanja na pjevački zbor, dirigente i širu zajednicu.The aim of this paper is to explain positive and negative aspects of choral competitions. The paper looks at the development of choral singing throughout history - from the very beginnings of music until the 21st century, when choral music is significantly more complex and popular in the world of music. The paper states the positive and negative sides of competition in education and the role of competition in student motivation. Also, the characteristics of a successful conductor are stated because he is the core of the choir, and the conductor's characteristics are highlighted by singers which are important for successful work. The work highlights the culture of working with the choir, as well as what elements are necessary for successful choir rehearsals and preparation, and finally, the choir going to the competition. The paper describes the role and impact of choral competitions on choirs, conductors and the wider community

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
We 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
We 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
We 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
