    The 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” 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

    U diplomskom radu razradit će se tematika glasovnog korisničkog sučelja (engl. Voice User interface, skraćeno VUI). Glasovno korisničko sučelje je tehnologija prepoznavanja govora koja omogućuje interakciju s računalima, pametnim telefonima ili drugim uređajima pomoću razumnih naredbi ili pitanja. Ono što čini VUI jedinstvenim jest to što koristi glas kao primarni način interakcije, za razliku od tradicionalnih načina interakcije pomoću kombinacije tipkovnice i miša ili zaslona osjetljivog na dodir. U današnje vrijeme VUI se koristi u automobilima, pametnim kućnim sustavima, računalnim operativnim sustavima, kućanskim aparatima kao što su perilice rublja, mikrovalne pećnice i televizijski daljinski upravljači. Uz to treba spomenuti kako se primarni način interakcije s virtualnim asistentima na pametnim telefonima i zvučnicima odvija glasovnim naredbama. Mnoge mobilne i računalne aplikacije omogućuju korisnicima odrađivanje automatiziranih usluga i svakodnevnih zadataka na brži te intuitivniji način pomoću glasovnih naredbi. VUI pomaže korisnicima u obavljanju zadataka kao što su: pretraživanje interneta, kupovina, slušanje glazbe, postavljanje alarma i podsjetnika, dobivanje informacija o vremenu i prometu. Tijekom povijesti se mijenjao način komunikacije između korisnika i računala, a što će biti u budućnosti može se samo nagađati. Komunikacija u budućnosti će se vrlo vjerojatno orijentirati na novi način interakcije korisnika s računalom pomoću glasovnih naredbi, a za što je potrebno glasovno korisničko sučelje.In this thesis the subject matter of voice user interface will be elaborated (VUI). Voice user interface is a voice recognition technology which enables interaction with computers, smart phones or other devices using reasonable commands or questions. What makes VUI unique is that is uses voice as a primary way of interaction, unlike traditional ways of interaction using a combination of keyboard and mouse or touch screen. In these days VUI is used in automobiles, smart phones and household appliances such as washing machines, microwave ovens and television remote controls. We also have to mention that the primary way of interaction with virtual assistants on smart phones and speakers is achieved by vocal commands. Many mobile and computer applications provide users with automatized services and everyday tasks in a faster and more intuitive way using vocal commands. VUI helps users in accomplishing tasks such as internet search, shopping, listening to music, alarm and reminder settings and weather and traffic information. Ways of communication between the user and the computer has changed throughout history and we can only guess what will happen in the future. Future communications will most probably focus on new ways of interaction between users and computer through vocal commands which requires voice user interface

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We 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

    Unlikely Heroes in Dystopian Film and the Changing Modes of Representing Justice

    Junaci su ljudi kojima se pripisuje najveći doprinos u društvenim sukobima i promjenama. Junaci se slave kroz cijelu povijest i pridaje im se velika važnost, stoga je relevantno analizirati prikaz takvih osoba. Svaki društveni sukob ima specifične uvjete i nepravde, ali svaki "uzdigne" neku osobu u junaka. Za svrhu rada, analizirana su tri filmska junaka iz filmova "V for Vendetta", "District 9" i "The Big Lebowski". U radu se analizira junake u svijetu prožetom nejednakim pristupom resursima, krizama i sukobima, te nepravde s kojima se sukobljavaju. Naglasak je na distopijskom okruženju i na nepravdama koje su prikazane. Ključni pojmovi rada su junaci, distopija i pravda. Heroj ili junak je pojam kojim se naziva čovjeka koji demonstrira kvalitete poput izvanredne hrabrosti ili plemenitosti, ili koji je ostvario izvanredna postignuća. Osim klasičnih branitelja i ratnih junaka, za junake se često smatraju i reformatori, istraživači, sportaši i slično. Budući da je junak neslužbena titula, čest je slučaj da nečiji heroj ne predstavlja heroja drugima, te čak može predstaviti antiheroja. Distopija je oblik društva koji je smatrano kao nepovoljno, okrutno i zastrašujuće. Utopija se uglavnom manifestira kao društvo u izrazito negativnim ekonomskim, ekološkim, političkim i društvenim uvjetima. Distopija bi bila suprotnost Utopiji. Pravda je jedan od najvažnijih moralnih i političkih koncepata. Pravda je u bliskom odnosu sa zakonima pojedinog društva, točnije, svaka kultura i društvo imaju svoj koncept pravde. Pravda je intelektualni i moralni konstrukt, te kao takva nije apsolutna ili nepromjenjiva, te je često opravdanje ili uzrok sukoba. Temeljna znanstvena metoda korištena u izradi rada je analiza narativa. Rad je podijeljen u četiri poglavlja. U prvom poglavlju "Pojmovi" ukratko objašnjavam pojmove junaka, distopije i pravde. U daljnjim poglavljima analiziram filmove, njihove junake i koncept pravde u njima. U filmovi su junaci definirani kroz sukob, napore i požrtvovnost, te može reći da nije ugodno biti junak, no unatoč tome, filmska junaštva su česta tematika i inspiracija. Iz filmova se zaključuje da su junaci neizostavni dio društva, te da svako vrijeme i mjesto zahtjeva i stvara svog junaka.Heroes are people attributed for great contribution in social conflicts and changes. Heroes are glorified throughout history and great importance is attributed to them, so it is important to analyze representation of such persons. Every social conflict has specific conditions and injustices, but each "elevates" certain person to a hero title. For the purpose of the work, three movie heroes from "V for Vendetta", "District 9" and "The Big Lebowski" have been analyzed. In work analyzes heroes in the world perceived by unequal access to resources, crises and conflicts, and the injustices they face. The emphasis is on the distrophic environment and the injustices that are depicted. The key terms of work are heroes, dystopia and justice. Hero is a term by which people who demonstrates qualities such as extraordinary courage or nobility, or who has achieved remarkable achievements are called. Apart from classical protectors and war heroes, heroes are often considered reformers, researchers, athletes, and the like. Since the hero is an unofficial title, it is common for one's hero not to represent heroes to others or even an anti-hero. Dystopia is a form of society that is considered unfavorable, cruel and frightening. Utopia is generally manifested as a society in extremely negative economic, ecological, political and social conditions. Dystopia would be the opposite of Utopia. Justice is one of the most important moral and political concepts. Justice is closely related to the laws of a particular society, more precisely, every culture and society have their own concept of justice. Justice is an intellectual and moral construct, and as such is not absolute or unchangeable, and is often a justification or a cause of conflict. The basic scientific method used in the work is narrative analysis. The work is divided into four chapters. In the first chapter, "Concepts", I briefly explain the terms of heroes, dystopia and justice. In the following chapters I analyze the movies, their heroes, and the concept of justice in them. In the movies, heroes are defined through conflict, effort and sacrifice, and it could be said that it is not a pleasurable to be a hero, but in spite of this, movie heroes are a frequent theme and inspiration. From the movies it is concluded that heroes are an indispensable part of society, and that every time and place demands and creates its hero

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    U današnje su vrijeme reklame prisutne svuda oko nas. Oglašavanje i reklamiranje su dva pojma bez kojih je nemoguće zamisliti današnje doba. Cilj oglašavanja, odnosno reklamiranje, je prodaja reklamiranog proizvoda ili usluge, a na koje sve načine utječe na potrošače saznat ćete ako nastavite čitati. U ovome radu će biti općenito prikazano što znači pojam reklama i oglašavanja. U sklopu toga biti će opisan razvoj reklama kroz povijest, te će biti spomenuta najznačajnija otkrića koja su stvorila nove medijske revolucije, odnosno koje su utjecale na novi način reklamiranja u povijesti. Rad će se najviše fokusirati na televizijske reklame, zatim će biti objašnjene vrste reklama, principi i načini privlačenja pažnje te važni čimbenici reklamiranja. Uz to će biti spomenuti prednosti i nedostaci televizijskih reklama. Na konkretnim primjerima ( npr. reklama sa Super Bowla 2016) će biti analizirane tri reklame prema kojima je napravljena anketa, te će biti prikazani rezultati odgovora ispitanika.In modern times advertisements are all around us. Advertising and marketing are two things without whom today's world could simply not be. Selling of our products and services are usually the main goal of marketing actions. In this paper we will show how marketing affects consumers and define what marketing and advertising is. To do that, we will discuss development of marketing throughout the history, greatest marketing ideas that created media revolutions and new ways of media advertising. We will mostly focus on television advertising, different types of commercials, principes and ways of attracting consumers and other important factors of marketing. Parallel with that we will discuss advantages and lacks of tv commercials. We will try to use practical examples (like Super Bowl 2016) where we will analyze three different commercials and use them in poll to get modern results
