“SAMVERKAN ÄR INTE ALLTID LÄTT FÖR ATT DET ÄR OLIKA AKTÖRER, ALLA HAR OLIKA VILJOR OCH MAN MÅSTE FÅ ALLA ATT FÖRSTÅ MÅLET’’ : En kvalitativ studie om socialarbetares erfarenheter av samverkan i arbetet med ungdomar i riskzon för kriminalitet
No full textThe purpose of this study is to explore social workers’ experiences and perceptions of collaboration with actors such as schools and the police in working with youth at risk of criminal behavior. The study is grounded in theoretical frameworks such as activity theory and street-level bureaucracy and builds on national and international research on interprofessional collaboration within social work. The research questions focus on how social workers describe their experience of collaboration, and what factors they perceive as enabling or hindering collaborative efforts. The study applies a qualitative approach and is based on semi-structured interviews with six social workers who are active within social services targeting youth at risk of criminality. The results indicate that collaboration is perceived as both necessary and an integral part of preventive work, particularly when carried out within clear and structured forums such as the SIG (Social Intervention Group) model. Successful collaboration requires shared goals, mutual understanding of professional roles and adequate professional discretion. Identified challenges include confidentiality regulations, unclear division of responsibilities, lack of trust and differing professional logics. These obstacles may be addressed through increased awareness of each actor’s mission and strengthened collaborative structures that support long-term solutions. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of the social worker’s role and conditions within collaborative efforts aimed at youth in risk zones.Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka socialarbetares erfarenheter och upplevelser av samverkan med aktörer som skola och polis i arbetet med ungdomar i riskzon för kriminalitet. Studien har utgångspunkt i teorier som aktivitetsteorin och gräsrotsbyråkrati, och bygger vidare på nationell och internationell forskning om samverkan i socialt arbete. Forskningsfrågorna fokuserar på hur socialarbetare beskriver sina upplevelser av samverkan och vilka faktorer som möjliggör respektive försvårar samverkan. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och bygger på semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex socialarbetare som är verksamma inom socialtjänstens arbete med ungdomar i riskzon för kriminalitet. Resultatet visar att samverkan upplevs som nödvändig och en integrerad del i det förebyggande arbetet, särskilt när det sker i strukturerade och tydliga forum som samverkansmodellen SIG. För att samverkan ska vara gynnsam krävs gemensamma mål, förståelse för varandras professioner och det professionella handlingsutrymmet. De utmaningar som lyfts är bland annat sekretesslagstiftningen, otydliga ansvarsfördelningar, bristande tillit och olika professionella logiker. Dessa hinder kan hanteras genom ökad medvetenhet om varandras uppdrag och stärkta strukturer för samarbete, vilket främjar långsiktiga samverkanslösningar. Studien bidrar med en fördjupad förståelse för socialarbetarens roll och villkor i samverkansarbete med ungdomar i riskzon för kriminalitet
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
