Cigaretter och cancer
No full textSMT publicerade i nr 6, 1998 en artikel av professor Lars-Olov Bygren med effekter av kampanjen mot rökning. Bygrens skeptiska inställning till sådana kampanjer har väckt protester, det råder ingen tvekan om att förekomsten av rökning skulle ligga på väsentligt högre nivåer om ansträngningar att förebygga tobaksbruk aldrig genomförts. Detta framhålles i nedanstående inlägg av med dr Mats Lambe, inst för medicinsk epidemiologi, Karolinska Institutet och docent Göran Boethius, överläkare vid lungkliniken i Östersund
The Driver's Exposure to Risk of Accident
No full text The driving habits in three population groups in Central Sweden have been investigated by means of a mailed questionnaire containing questions about the previous calendar year and a driving journal for the subsequent week. The samples totalled 22575 individuals. The non-response was 15%, 19% and 10% respectively, but has not been found to affect the results to any great extent. There were appreciable differences in age and sex as concerns average distances driven, distribution as to type of motor vehicle, time of day and week, driving in rural or built-up areas, on working or spare time, etc. The most interesting groups at risk were the oldest and the youngest drivers. They had in common relatively low average mileages, and to a great extent rode mopeds and drove during their spare time. The youngest, in addition, drove relatively often during the night hours, with borrowed vehicles and in built-up areas. Driving experience (in number of years since the first licence) and age influenced the average mileage in contrary directions, i.e. mileage decreased with passage of time since the first licence and increased with age. The accident frequency per distance driven seemed high for lorry, moped and motorcycle. It was high among the youngest and the oldest drivers, among those with less than five years of driving experience and finally it was high during the night. On the whole a large part of the differences in accident rates was explained by the exposure to risk. Even traffic offences were a function of this exposure. The conclusion drawn from the discussion is that motor vehicles have a central bearing on the population, that the risk differs radically between driver groups and that it should be possible to devise preventive measures out of these differences. </jats:p

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
