Understanding the perception of occupational psychosocial risk factors in developing countries: setting priorities for action
No full textBook synopsis:
This book is the third volume (2008) in the annual series from the European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology. The discipline of occupational health psychology concerns the application of the principles and practices of psychology to the understanding and management of the dynamic relationship between workers and their work environment. For readers who are unfamiliar with this series a brief overview may be warranted here. Initiated in 2006, the regular volumes offer a set of chapters each of which has its focus on a discreet topic of current pertinence within the occupational health psychology (OHP) umbrella. All contributions are authored by individuals who are recognised by the international community as experts in the particular area of activity on which they are writing. The chapters within each volume are divided across three sections: research, education and professional practice, a structure that reflects the three pillars of activity on which the Academy operates. Chapters are designed to be of interest to a broad range of researchers, practitioners, educators and students of the discipline. Consistent with the Academy's constitutional objective to enhance awareness, knowledge and understanding of OHP, the series is affordably priced to ensure broad access

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
