Lilith: um monstro feminino em Jorge Luis Borges, Dante Gabriel Rossetti e Primo Levi
Full text linkThe study of monstrosity belongs to many fields of knowledge, as well as to various periods of analysis. Since the Ancient Times, philosophers, writers, jurists and other studious have been questioning the constitution of the monstrous figure and also its connection to Evil. Currently, many studies of classificatory content have been developed, towards establishing lists that divide the monsters, based on specific criteria and parameters. On the other hand, the basis of this work is the theory developed by Jeffrey Jerome Cohen in his article a cultura dos monstros: sete teses. The author proposes a different way to analyze the monster, one that allows us to bring him closer to the culture in which he has been created, through intrinsic links between both. Therefore, it becomes possible to develop a critical analysis of the monster, that has from this point on a strong reason to be, that could be social, cultural, among others. The chosen figure for this study is Lilith, described in the Jewish literature as Adam´s first wife. The main goal, in this paper, is that to analyze her in the legendary scope and also in the chosen artistic developments, both the literary and plastic ones. She will be analyzed in the work of Jorge Luis Borges, Primo Levi and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, according to Cohen´s theory. It is aimed to determine if Lilith, in the chosen works and under the applied analysis focus, affirms herself as a monster.O estudo da monstruosidade faz parte de vários campos do conhecimento, além de compreender diversos períodos de análise. Desde a Antiguidade, filósofos, literatos, juristas e outros estudiosos questionavam a constituição da figura monstruosa, assim como a sua relação com o Mal. Na Modernidade, vários estudos de teor classificatório foram desenvolvidos com o intuito de estabelecer listas que dividissem os monstros, tendo por base determinados critérios e parâmetros. Neste trabalho, por sua vez, o fundamento para o estudo da monstruosidade é a teoria desenvolvida por Jeffrey Jerome Cohen no artigo a cultura dos monstros: sete teses. Nele, Cohen propõe uma leitura do monstro que permite aproximá-lo da cultura em que foi criado, a partir de relações intrínsecas entre ambos. Dessa forma, torna-se possível a análise crítica do monstro, que passa a ter uma razão de ser, que pode ser social, cultural, entre outras. Nesse sentido, a figura escolhida para análise sob essa ótica foi Lilith, definida na mitologia judaica como a primeira mulher de Adão. O objetivo principal, então, é o de analisá-la no âmbito lendário, além de desdobramentos literários e plásticos dos quais ela faz parte. O recorte escolhido para esse estudo faz parte das obras de Jorge Luis Borges, Primo Levi e Dante Gabriel Rossetti, lidos de acordo com a teoria de Cohen. Intentase determinar se Lilith, nas obras escolhidas e sob esse foco de análise, afirma-se como um monstro

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
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
