Characteristics of horse gait during swimming exercise in swimming pool
No full textHorses are frequently brought to the pool, although little is known about how they swim. One aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of the horses’ gait while swimming in a pool; another objective was to search for significant correlations between morphology, signalment, and swimming style. Videoclips were obtained for 39 horses during swimming, along with data regarding breed, age, sex, discipline, reason for swimming (i.e., rehabilitation or training), weight, height at the withers, elbow and stifle, scapulohumeral and coxofemoral angle, and croup inclination. The videos were examined to determine the sequence and maintenance of limb movement, position of the carpus at the end of protraction of the front limb, and height of the croup. Eighteen horses were classified as pacers, 19 as disconnected pacers, two as “rear engine” swimmers depending on their most prominent limb sequence. Seventeen horses maintained the same swimming pattern throughout the entire session, 22 horses did not. Twenty-one horses kept the carpus flexed at the end of protraction of the forelimb, 18 horses kept it extended. Nineteen horses kept the croup horizontal, 13 kept it lower, and seven kept it higher than the withers. Rear engine horses were excluded from the data analysis because of their low prevalence. Inexpe- rienced horses had a higher prevalence of maintenance of the swimming style, rehabilitating horses kept the croup predominantly horizontal or lower than the withers
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

No full textLA FABRICACIÓN DE INDIANAS EN BARCELONA DURANTE EL SIGLO XVIII: MATERIA PRIMA Y PRODUCTO ELABORADO ENTRE EL MERCADO MEDITERRÁNEO Y EL ATLÁNTICO
No full textEl debate histórico sobre el desarrollo de la fabricación de indianas (lienzos de algodón pintados y estampados) y calicó en la Barcelona del siglo XVIII, siempre se ha centrado en el peso del mercado nacional y colonial en esa etapa. Por supuesto, el suministro de algodón en bruto para el procesamiento ha seguido dos rutas principales: la de Malta, a través del cual, en Cataluña y, desde los años 80 del siglo XVIII, a través del canal colonial. Por esta última vía, algodón procedentes de las colonias de América del Sur y los territorios coloniales de América del Norte, llegó a los puertos de Sevilla y Cádiz, para llegar luego Barcelona. De lo contrario, el producto acabado se movía en caminos completamente diferentes. A partir de la política económica inaugurado por Felipe V de Borbón y fortalecido por Carlos III, el paper tiene la intención de poner de relieve la importancia del mercado nacional en el desarrollo de la fabricación de tejidos de algodón impresos, poniendo de relieve, por un lado, el papel de Barcelona como centro de fabricación desarrollado gracias a un proceso de sustitución de importaciones, y por el otro el papel desempeñado por una serie de centros de la Península como los principales centros de consumo y redistribución de las indianas. En particular, las decisiones políticas tomadas por la dinastía de los Borbones destacarán la movilidad de una frontera económica que se mueve de manera diferente a la política

No full textVariations 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
