Socializace sportem
No full textPresent days, oft en called Information Age, or Computer Age are characterized by the decrease of natural social interaction between people. Th us the social potential of sports activities is shift ing to the centre of scholar’s attention. Not only the worldwire spread, popularity, active participating and its media coverage make sports the social phenomenon of the day. Various aspects of sport make it possible to infl uence the society and visa versa. Th e research of socializing power of sports has traditionally diff ered between socializing into sports, socializing during sports, or through sport and fi nally socializing directly in sports. However nowadays, the width of sport disciplines that involves wide range of physical activities at various intensity levels makes it almost impossible to make any generalizations based on results coming from more sport fi elds (individual, collective) and foremost performance levels (recreational, performance level, top athlete level). Moreover, reasons for getting involved in sport activities can be rather individualized. Th is implies foremost the necessity to off er kids and the youth colourful variety of sport activites in all performance levels.</jats:p
Současné vnímání sportu vysokoškolskou mládeží
No full textWe were looking for an answer for a question “How do students of a technical university perceive sports” in a short survey. To answer this question we used Likert scale with 11 levels (-5 to +5). To evaluate pros and cons of recreational and professional sports more closely in terms of quality – method of analysing personal documents were used. Documents considered in this case were free answers and non-bounded opinions of students to this topic. CTU students perceive sports in a very positive manner. Average ranking of +3.15 on the scale. They expressed 1342 statements concerning recreational and professional sports. It’s 9.2 statements per student in average. There were 449 positive to 185 negative statements addressing recreational sports. Students clearly declared all of the main positive aspects of recreational sports. Independency, freedom and time flexibility, fun, relaxation and maintaining physical condition. They also outlined some major disadvantages as financial and time demands and injury probabilities. Students found 340 positive and 368 negative features of professional sports. Some of the positive features were described as development of moral qualities, highly maintained physical condition, the possibility of high financial incomes and social experience. They are also fully aware of the main drawbacks – health problems, one and only main life focus, problematic moral and social aspects.</jats:p
Veřejné mínění o výstavbě Národního olympijského centra v Nymburce
No full textThe main objective of this article is to determine public opinion in Nymburk and the surrounding municipalities on the intended construction of the National Olympic Center in Nymburk, based on surveys. The research method used in this survey was interviews – electronic and written questionnaires. The authors’ questionnaire was drawn up to determine public opinion of the construction of the National Olympic Center in Nymburk. Based on the data obtained, it was found out that the public opinion of the construction of the National Olympic Center is largely positive (85% of the respondents). The public is open to this project, people want a modern sport center and support its development despite the large expense and scope of the project.</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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
