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
Shear band reflection from a rigid boundary
No full textA widespread opinion in the community of researchers working in the area of mechanics of materials is that shear bands are reflected by a rigid boundary. This opinion is based on some experimental results and a few numerical computations. However, whether this reflection may indeed be predicted theoretically, and which rules it follows remains an open question. Through the derivation of a new Green's function, valid for a prestressed elastic half-space with its straight boundary rigidly constrained, it is shown that shear bands are indeed reflected (see Fig. 1). Besides, reflection does not follow the usual Snell's law and, instead, shear bands maintain the inclination dictated by the
constitutive equations of the material. This result, obtained within an incremental formulation [1] (valid for an incompressible elastic material deformed in plane strain), surprisingly leads to a closed-form solution and is illustrated with the J2-deformation theory of plasticity, designed to mimic the behavior of metals. Our results pave the way to new applications in the realm of wave guiding metamaterials that are capable of material instabilities
SULL’AZIONABILITÀ DEI DIRITTI UMANI DELLE DONNE STRANIERE VITTIME DI VIOLENZA. CRITICITÀ IN AMBITO PENALE
Full text linkAbstract: La lotta al fenomeno sociale della violenza maschile contro le donne basata sul genere grazie all’impulso delle diverse espressioni del femminismo e all’impegno profuso dalla comunità internazionale, sta ricevendo a livello nazionale una diversa attenzione ri-spetto ad un tempo. Il presente lavoro intende prendere in esame alcune problematiche collegate all’azionabilità dei diritti da parte delle donne migranti in relazione alle norme adottate dal legislatore in questi ultimi anni. Si tratta di dispositivi che hanno privilegiato gli aspetti collegati alla repressione senza preoccuparsi della persistenza di dimensioni materiali e non, fondamentali in materia di effettività e giustiziabilità dei diritti, soprattutto quando le parti offese sono donne che, per il fatto di essere straniere, sperimentano situazioni di par-ticolare vulnerabilità. Insomma prevedere diritti senza favorire l’accesso alla giustizia rischia di rendere di fatto non effettive le garanzie fissate nella legislazione interna. Nell’intelaiatura dei diritti umani si riflette un’esperienza occidentale che è stata fortemente messa in discus-sione dal femminismo giuridico con l’intento di vedere anche nell’arena giudiziaria un luogo entro il quale poter agire per decostruire l’assetto sociale sotteso alle diseguaglianze. L’esperienza concreta di chi opera nell’assistenza legale alle donne straniere intreccia neces-sariamente queste specificità: il tema della violenza nelle relazioni domestiche è centrale nel-la vita di queste donne, sia nella fase iniziale di “approdo”, sia nella fase successiva di stabi-lizzazione e persino in quella stabilizzata, normalmente all’interno dello stesso contesto di provenienza. Alla mancanza di supporti (economici, culturali, linguistici, ma anche di assi-stenza legale dedicata - ad eccezione di quella offerta dai centri anti-violenza) fa da contral-tare un crescente ricorso (o tentativo di ricorso) al sistema giustizia anche da parte delle donne di origine straniera che vivono in Italia; un percorso in larga parte segnato da ostaco-li importanti che richiamano per l’appunto il tema dell’azionabilità dei diritti e delle discri-minazioni in chiave intersezionale, che il sistema giustizia da un lato riflette dall’altro rischia di riproporre. È obbligo degli Stati occuparsi pienamente di questo fenomeno anche garan-tendo strumenti di ausilio linguistico, culturale e legale finalizzati e idonei a garantire la pie-na possibilità di accesso al sistema giustizia per le donne straniere presenti nel nostro terri-torio. In questo senso tentiamo di analizzare i dati disponibili, la casistica che abbiamo in-crociato, le difficoltà e le possibili sperimentazioni di apertura del sistema in direzione delle donne straniere che vi si rivolgono.
AURORA D’AGOSTINO, PAOLA DEGANI
Donne straniere, diritti u 196 mani, questioni di genere
Abstract: The fight against the social phenomenon of gender-based male violence against women, thanks to the impulse of the several expressions of feminism and the efforts made by the international community, is receiving different attention at the national level than it once did. This paper aims to examine some issues related to the applicability of rights by migrant women in relation to the laws adopted by the legislature in recent years. These are provisions that have emphasized issues related to the punishment without concern for the persistence of material and non-material dimensions that are fundamental in the area of the effectiveness and justiciability of rights, especially when the victims are women who, due to the fact of being foreigners, experience situations of particular vulnerability. In short, providing rights without fostering access to justice risks rendering the guarantees estab-lished in domestic legislation ineffective in practice. Reflected in the framing of human rights is a Western experience that has been strongly challenged by legal feminist theory with the intention of considering the judicial arena a place within which to act for decon-structing the social order, while underlying inequalities. The concrete experience of those who work in legal aid to foreign women necessarily intertwines these specificities: the issue of violence in domestic relations is central in the lives of these women, both in the initial "landing" phase and in the later stabilized and even stabilized phase, normally within the same context of origin. The lack of support (economic, cultural, linguistic but also dedicat-ed legal assistance - except that offered by anti-violence centers) is counterbalanced by a growing recourse (or attempted recourse) to the justice system even by women of foreign origin living in Italy; a path largely marked by serious obstacles that recall precisely the issue of the enforceability of rights and discrimination in an intersectional key that the justice system on the one hand reflects on the other risks re-proposing. It is the obligation of states to fully deal with this phenomenon also by guaranteeing linguistic, cultural and legal aid tools aimed at and suitable for guaranteeing the full possibility of access to the justice system for foreign women present in our territory. The paper attempts to analyze the avail-able data, the case histories we have crossed, the difficulties and possible experiments in opening the system in the direction of the foreign women who turn to it
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
