Regulierender Staat und konfliktschlichtendes Recht | Festschrift für Matthias Schmidt-Preuß zum 70. Geburtstag
No full textAm 1.9.2018 vollendete Matthias Schmidt-Preuß sein 70. Lebensjahr. Aus diesem Anlass widmen ihm Freunde, Kollegen und Schüler diese Festschrift. In dem Werk werden zum einen die drei Kerngebiete des Jubilars, das subjektive öffentliche Recht, die gesteuerte Selbstregulierung und das Recht der Netzwirtschaften adressiert. Zum anderen erfolgt die Aufnahme weiterer Themenfelder, um dem breiten Œuvre des Geehrten gerecht zu werden.Die Festschrift spiegelt den Lebensweg von Schmidt-Preuß, der nach zehnjähriger Ministerialtätigkeit den Weg zurück in die Wissenschaft fand und Lehrstühle an den Universitäten Erlangen-Nürnberg (1993–2002) sowie Bonn (2002–2017) bekleidete, auch in personeller Hinsicht wider. Prägnanten Ausdruck hierfür liefert das Autorenfeld der insgesamt 55 Beiträge, dem neben renommierten Professorinnen und Professoren auch nicht minder namhafte Praktikerinnen und Praktiker aus Behörden, Gerichten und Anwaltschaft angehören.Autorinnen und Autoren, Herausgeber und Verlag danken dem Jubilar für vielfältige Begegnungen und persönliche Gespräche. Sie alle freuen sich auch in Zukunft auf mannigfaltige Denkanstöße aus seiner Feder und dedizieren ihm diese Publikation zum 70. Geburtstag.»Festschrift for Matthias Schmidt-Preuß – Regulatory State and Conflict-Resolving Law«The Festschrift is dedicated to Matthias Schmidt-Preuß on his 70th birthday. On the one hand, it addresses the key research fields of the honoree: subjective rights vis à-vis the public authorities, regulated self-regulation and the law of network economies. On the other hand, other topics were included in order to reflect the Schmid-Preuß's broad œuvre in the areas of Constitutional and Administrative Law, in German and European Economic Law, in Antitrust and Regulatory Law as well as in Energy and Environmental Law
Species compensatory responses and biodiversity biodiversityecosystem function relations
No full textAnthropogenic activities affect ecosystems and alter community dynamics and species interactions, which can have with significant consequences for biodiversity function relations. Current knowledge on the role of biodiversity in mediating ecosystem processes and functions is largely derived from controlled, biodiversity manipulation experiments. However, these studies rarely account for species compensatory responses that potentially represent an important ecological response to perturbations in natural systems. Incorporating species compensation into empirical studies or predictive models has the potential to fundamentally change perceptions of the ecosystem consequences associated with changing biodiversity, but has received little attention.Here, I explicitly incorporate aspects of biodiversity change that have not previously been included within the biodiversity-ecosystem function framework. By adopting a range of approaches, including trait-based models, laboratory-based mesocosm experiments and field observations, I explore the role of compensation in marine benthic communities. Results show that scenarios of species loss that include community compensatory responses are fundamentally different to those where response mechanisms are excluded. However, the ecosystem consequences of compensation depend on the type and expression of compensation. I demonstrate that the functional traits of the species driving the compensatory response, and their relative abundance within the community, is highly important in determining the functional outcome of altered biodiversity. Although, a consistent feature across communities, irrespective of the driver of perturbation, the functional consequences of compensatory responses are also dependent on environmental context.The general paradigm that emerges is that compensatory responses exist in natural systems and are likely to alter the form of biodiversity-function relations, leading to changes in ecosystem properties that differ from current expectation. I conclude that, in order to project the ecosystem consequences of anticipated levels of biodiversity change, it will be necessary to acknowledge the role of compensation in natural systems to ensure the benefits that ecosystems provide society are sustained.<br/
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
