    The current research highlights memory as a central element in memoir writing, which shapes the narrative through both distant and recent recollections. It is based on the book “The Rooster House: A Ukrainian Family Memoir” by Victoria Belim (2024), which was written during the current war unleashed by Russia against Ukraine. It makes the article vital and testifies to its novelty. In the discussed memoir, memory plays a multifaceted role, being represented explicitly and implicitly within the narrative structure. Distant memories are mostly related to the author’s childhood experiences, going back to the Soviet times, while recent memories provide a lens for contemporary reflection and identity construction. Explicit representations of memory are conveyed through direct references using such words as recall, recollection, memories and remember. However, implicit memories can be perceived through vivid descriptions of details, events, emotions and physical sensations which bind the past with the present and bring them to life. It is notable that both explicit and implicit layers of memory enable the author to connect her personal experiences with the historical and cultural background, making the issues touched upon in the memoir not only personal but universal, too. Victoria Belim’s personal recollections turn out crucial in the complicated process of redefining her Ukrainian identity. The memoir’s timeline spans from the author’s personal past to her present, extending toward her personal hopes for the future, for the victory of Ukraine in the war which has been going on for three years. Despite the fact that the author and her family experienced tragic events and were exposed to trauma, and the memoir is permeated through with pain and grief, it affects the reader by its optimism and life-assertiveness.Запропоноване дослідження висвітлює пам’ять як важливий елемент у написанні мемуарів, як явище, що допомагає формувати наратив через віддалені та нещодавні спогади. Матеріалом дослідження слугує сучасний мемуарний роман Вікторії Белім “The Rooster House: A Ukrainian Family Memoir” (2024), написаний під час війни, яку розв’язала Росія проти України. Вибір матеріалу дослідження  свідчить про актуальність статті та її новизну. Будучи представлена у проаналізованому романі, як експліцитно, так і імпліцитно, пам’ять відіграє багатогранну роль. Віддалені спогади здебільшого стосуються дитячих переживань авторки ще за радянських часів, тоді як нещодавні спогади є основою  сучасних роздумів та сприяють формуванню ідентичності. Експліцитні уявлення про пам’ять передаються за допомогою таких лексичних одиниць, як згадувати, спогади, пам’ять і пригадувати. Водночас імпліцитна пам’ять сприймається через яскраві описи деталей, подій, емоцій та фізичних відчуттів, які пов’язують минуле з теперішнім і оживлюють їх. Варто зазначити, що як експліцитні, так і імпліцитні рівні пам’яті дозволяють авторці пов’язати свій особистий досвід із історичним і культурним контекстом, що сприяє перетворенню особистих спогадів на загальнолюдські. Особисті спогади Вікторії Бєлім відіграють вирішальну роль у складному процесі переосмислення її української ідентичності. Хронотоп мемуарів охоплює особисте минуле авторки, її теперішнє та простягається до її особистих сподівань на майбутнє, на перемогу України у війні, яка триває вже три роки. Незважаючи на те, що авторка та її родина зазнали трагічних психологічних травм та пережили трагічні події, а  її мемуари пронизані болем і скорботою, можна зробити висновок, що книга надихає оптимізмом та є життєстверджуючою

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    Get PDF
    We 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

    We 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 text
    We 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
