From Maritain to the «Brazilian Revolution»: the Social Thought of the Juventude Estudantil Católica (JEC) and Juventude Estudantil Universitária Católica (JUC)
No full textThe essay reconstructs some decisive stages in the history of JEC
(Juventude Estudantil Católica) and JUC (Juventude Universitária Católica)
in Brazil between the 1950s and 1960s, highlighting the influence of the
francophone model of “specialized” Catholic Action on the history of the
two Brazilian student movements. Since the second half of the 1950s, the
Brazilian JEC and JUC had expressed a desire to move beyond an approach
that focused exclusively on the religious education in favor of a model that
combined both faith education and social action. This led the leaders of
the JEC and JUC to look for models that they initially found in Maritain’s
thought, as documented by the debate around the «Ideal Histórico» at the
turn of the Fifties and Sixties, or in the theory of «Engajamento», which
they took from the model of French Catholic Action. In just a few years,
however, young Brazilians would come to a radical critique of the
foundations of Maritain’s thought, from which they had started, outlining
the theoretical and practical basis for the Theology of Liberation
elaborated by Gutiérrez in the early 1970s. The events of the JEC and JUC,
even with some peculiarities, represent a paradigmatic anticipation of some
processes that will affect some of the Catholic Action youth groups in
South America and Europe after 1968

Associazionismo giovanile cattolico nell'Italia degli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta. A proposito di Gioventù Studentesca. Storia di un movimento cattolico dalla ricostruzione alla contestazione di Marta Busani
No full textIl contributo analizza il volume dedicato da Marta Busani a Gioventù Studentesca nel quadro delle trasformazioni che hanno investito i luoghi dell’educazione cattolica tra anni Cinquanta e Sessanta, tenendo conto delle più recenti acquisizioni storiografiche. Quella di GS, in effetti, è la storia di una delle esperienze educative più significative del secondo dopoguerra italiano, sorta in primo tempo all’interno dell’Azione Cattolica e poi passata attraverso un percorso di maturazione che è sfociato nella nascita di un vero e proprio movimento ecclesiale.In the light of the latest historiographical findings, the essay analyses Marta Busani’s text on the Italian Catholic youth movement Gioventù Studentesca, contextualising it against the backdrop of the transformations characterising the Catholic associations between the 1950s and 1960s. The history of GS is indeed one of the most important educational experiences of Postwar Italy: initially emerging within Catholic Action, Gioventù Studentesca then underwent a process of development that culminated in its establishment as a fully-fledged ecclesial movement
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
