Lieven Meyer : Boxes Seen As
No full text"BOXES SEEN AS is an installation of transitory form, dealing primarily with industrial prints on packaging from the food industry. Besides its sculptural approach, the work also includes sound as a medium. In the context of the 1 Super-Market Lieven Meyer reflects on the political and historical signification of western’s society’s industrialized global markets, in which, via boxes, print and sculpture play a subordinate and compliant role, similar to propaganda art. Their ideological reference is the human body and its industrially engineered shape and environment inside a perfectly functioning system. Within their permanent cycle of transformation and in a multi sensual way, the exhibition invites the spectator to experience the technocratic aspect of printed matter on corrugated paperboard boxes." -- Publisher's website
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
Globalização, fragmentação e ecumenismo : desafios de um mundo plural
Full text linkA seguir apresentamos aqui um texto de autoria conjunta de dois teólogos formados pela EST, Guilherme Lieven e Sérgio Sauer. O tema é “Globalização, fragmentação e ecumenismo”. Temos aqui uma visão ao mesmo tempo sintética e abrangente de um assunto de grande relevância, talvez mais discutido que realmente compreendido em suas implicações mais graves. Os autores trabalham o tema da globalização tanto de uma perspectiva sociológica como teológica
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
Anatol Lieven military unit during 1918-1920 in Latvia and North Russia
No full textBakalaura darba tēma “Anatola Līvena karaspēka vienības darbība 1918.-1920.g. Latvijā un Ziemeļkrievijā” aptver laiku no Latvijas neatkarības pasludināšanas līdz Krievijas baltās Ziemeļrietumu armijas likvidēšanai. Mērķis ir pētīt Anatola Līvena nodaļas darbību Latvijas un Krievijas Ziemeļrietumu teritorijās noteiktajā laika posmā, konstatējot galvenos darbības aspektus un lomu Baltijas reģionā. A.Līvena nodaļa bija viena no kaujas spējīgākām vienībām pret boļševiku frontē un ir unikāla militāra vienība Baltijas reģionā. Tās darbību var iedalīt trīs galvenajos posmos 1) dibināšanās un darbība līdz 1919. gada aprīlim 2) nodaļas darbība līdz nosūtīšanai uz Igauniju maijs – jūlijs 3) dalība Ziemeļrietumu armijas Pēterburgas uzbrukumam.The topic of Bachelors thesis is “Anatol Lieven military unit during 1918-1920 in Latvia and North Russia” covers the time from proclamation of the independence of Republic of Latvia until dissolution of Russian white Northwest army. The aim of the research is the action of Anatol Lieven military unit actions in Latvia and Russia’s northwest territories in the given time, stating the main aspects of action, and the role in the Baltic region history. A.Lieven military unit was one of most battle - ready units in anti-Bolshevik front, and it is unique military formation in Baltic region. The action of A. Lieven military unit could be divided into three periods 1) the formation of Lieven military unit and the action until April of 1919 2) Lieven units action until departure to Estonia May – July 3) unit action in Northwest army’s Petersburg attack
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
Full text linkThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
Gestures and speech in children with specific language impairment during a naming task and mother-child conversation
No full textSeveral studies have shown that children with specific language impairment (SLI) are less conversationally responsive than typically-developing (TD) children; however, some studies have suggested that these children can use gesture to compensate for their expressive language difficulties, but this issue is still controversial. Our research examined the relationship between spontaneous gesture production and speech in children with SLI compared with TD children during a picture naming task (Study 1) and a naturalistic context as shared book-reading with their mothers (Study 2). In addition, Study 2 investigated the relationship between gesture and speech in maternal communicative strategies, and the potential effectiveness of gestures accompanying maternal speech on the conversational responsiveness of children with SLI.
Fifthteen preschoolers with expressive SLI were compared with 15 age-matched and 15 language-matched TD children. Each child answer during the task and each child and maternal utterance during two videotaped sessions of shared book-reading was coded for modality (Spoken, Gestural, Bimodal), gesture type, communicative function.
In the naming task children with SLI, as younger language-matched children, produced pointing and representational gestures together with spoken responses more than TD peers, F(2,42)=8.94-p=.001-ηp2=.33,-Bonf.(I-J)=14.97-p=.002. Study 2 confirmed that, relative to TD peers, children with SLI used more Bimodal utterances during conversational interaction, F(2,42)=3.48-p=.04-ηp2=.14,-(I-J)=11.95-p=.037. These differences were mirrored in maternal communication: mothers of children with SLI, as mothers of language-matched, produced fewer Spoken and more Bimodal utterances than mothers of TD peers, F(2,42)=4.22-p=.021-ηp2=.17,-(I-J)=12.10-p=.052. In addition, results from sequential analysis revealed that only in SLI group maternal reading accompanied by gestures was significantly followed by child’s initiatives, and when maternal non-informative (without crucial information) repairs were accompanied by gestures, they had a higher probability to elicit adequate answers from children (Fig.1). On the whole, these findings support the hypothesis of a “gesture advantage” in children with SLI, and have implications for educational and clinical practice
