Abraham of Freising, a legendary bishop (957-994)
No full textOn the 21st of December 957, Abraham followed in the footsteps of
Lantpert to become the new and by that time already fourteenth bishop
of Freising, or fifteenth if we consider Corbinian as the founding bishop.
Very different from his rather plain predecessor, Abraham had a very interesting and lively personality. With an episcopate spanning a period
of nearly four decades, the bishop certainly left his mark on the diocese
by extending its territory, connections and prestige. Unfortunately, the
sources on Abraham of Freising are scarce, but it is still possible to recreate the surprisingly exciting life of the bishop, if we puzzle together the
information taken from multiple and very diverse sources.Abraham je 21. decembra 957 nasledil Lamberta in postal 14. freisinški škof (oziroma 15., če upoštevamo Korbinijana kot ustanovnega škofa).
Abraham je bil precej drugačen od svojega preprostega predhodnika, saj
je bil izredno zanimiva in živahna osebnost. S svojim skoraj štiri desetletja trajajočim delovanjem je v škofiji pustil močan pečat, saj je razširil
njeno ozemlje in povezave ter povečal njen ugled. Žal so poročila o Abrahamu skopa, vendar je kljub temu iz številnih različnih virov mogoče poustvariti sestavljanko škofovega presenetljivo razburljivega življenja
The 'Cura pastoralis' fragment from the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia : a completely different story
No full textThe fragment “Cura pastoralis” is the oldest manuscript fragment in Slovenia and is kept in the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia under the file number AS 1073, II–1r. It consists of one bifolium. One side of it is very badly damaged, as the fragment was once used for the binding of a book that served as the marriage register of the town of Trbovlje between 1669 and 1704. The register is still kept in the Diocesan Archives of Maribor. The bifolium is cataloged as a fragment of a ninth-century manuscript containing the “Cura pastoralis” of Gregory the Great. After a thorough examination, however, it turned out to be part of a work by Paterius of Brescia, Gregory the Great’s first secretary, which may have seen the light of day in the Freising scriptorium. There are some physical and content-related similarities between the fragment and the oldest complete manuscript in Slovenia, the Ecloga of Lathcen, which was written in the same period, namely at the end of the first half of the ninth century
Freising and the Slavs : possible literary witnesses of the Freising Mission in Carantania found in present day Carinthia
No full textMore than sixty years ago, four Carolingian fragments from religious manuscripts were discovered in Carinthia. The research done on these fragments was only superficial. Three of the discovered fragments can be linked to the mission conducted by the diocese of Freising. We know the Bavarian diocese of Freising was an active player in the Carantanian missionary field, but it is hard to tell how extensive their missionary area was and when they began to contribute to the conversion. The reinvestigation of these fragments is an important step in the reconstruction of the Freising missionary efforts towards the Carantani as they form evidence of missionary activity
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
