Saxo og Rigsdagen i Besancon
No full textArtiklen omhandler Rigsdagen i Besancon 1162 og Saxos beretning herom. Saxo er den mest udførlige kilde til denne begivenhed, men kan ikke fuldstændig tages for gode varer. Dette hænger sammen med, at Saxo havde sin egen agenda. Saxo beskriver kong Valdemar som den retfærdige konge, men kejseren er den falske, troløse hersker, der lokker Valdemar i fordærv. I virkeligheden var Valdemars tilstedeværelse udtryk for realpolitik fra dansk side, da man på et tidspunkt, hvor kejseren stod stærkt, anså det som hensigtsmæssigt at sværge lensed til ham for at udgå voldsomme repressalier. En svaghed hos Saxo er den manglende storpolitiske referanceramme, og simplificerer frontlinierne i det kirkepolitiske skisma, der da deler Europa. Det tyske kejserrige er således ikke en monolitisk størrelse, men selv splittet og kejseren har kun opbakning i den del af sit bagland. Da begivenhederne går ham imod, mister kejseren yderligere hjemlig opbakning, ligesom den danske lensed ikke får nogle videregående konsekvenser herhjemme
<strong>Middelalderens forskelligartede lærdomstraditioner.</strong>:Videnshorisonter hos Bartolomæus Anglicus og i Kongespejlet
No full textArtiklens tema er spændvidden i højmiddelalderens geografiske viden. To forskellige videnshorisonter konstrasteres med Bartolomæus Anglicus' verdensencyklopedi fra midten af 1200-tallet og det samtidige norske Kongespejl. Det førstnævnte værk bærer tydeligt præg af en central- og sydeuropæisk lærdomskultur, med stor reverens for den antikke lærdomstradition og en svagt udviklet empiri. Dette viser sig tydeligt i det geografiske afsnit, der indeholder meget lidt konkret viden om Norden. Det norske Kongespejl fra samme tid derimod er præget af en gennemgående accept af empirisk viden, nysgerrighed og kritisk sans. I det geografiske afsnit om Nordhavet gengives et samtidsaktuelt erfaringsniveau. I en levende beskrivelse gøres det her klart for læseren, at jorden er rund, og fænomenet nordlys søges videnskabeligt forklaret. Forskellene mellem de to teksters beskrivelser viser med al tydelighed, hvor stor en kontrast der i datiden fandtes mellem en nordisk og en centraleuropæisk lærdomshorisont - en forskel, der primært skyldes forfatternes forskellige sociale og kulturgeografiske baggrund. This article deals with different high medieval perspectives on European geography as perceived by Scandinavians and central Europeans. The classical, erudite European tradition is represented by the Franciscan encyclopedist Bartholomew Anglicus (c. 1190-1250), whose geographical lore is contrasted to the Nordic worldview of the Norwegian King's Mirror from the middle of the 13th century. The central European tradition is almost exclusively characterized by reverence for ancient tradition, whereas the Norse approach is based on a blend of learning and vivid empiricism. There are practically no correspondences between Bartholomew's reproduction of obsolete information and the empiricism and spontaneity of the Norwegian observer. However, both share a basic acceptance of the Ptolemaic system.The King's Mirror is composed as a classical dialogue between a master and a pupil - here a father and his son. The father dwells at length on the merchant's trade and includes a wealth of current information on the Northern Seas. Among other things he passes on his knowledge of Greenland and Iceland, the fauna of the North Atlantic and its mirabilia. Of special interest to the modern reader are his attempts at explaining the spherical form of the Earth and the Aurora Borealis. He repeatedly advocates personal experience as opposed to uncritical compilation.</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
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
