Challenges of children's multilingual development (from the perspective of adult speakers)
No full textVišejezičnost je složen fenomen čije definicije u literaturi nisu jednoznačne niti univerzalne. Najčešće se višejezičnost razumijeva kao poznavanje i upotreba dvaju jezika od strane iste osobe. Ni oko učinka višejezičnosti na jezični i cjelokupni djetetov razvoj, nema slaganja. Jedni smatraju da višejezični razvoj djece može donijeti brojne izazove, no većinom se stručnjaci slažu da višejezičnost donosi brojne pozitivne učinke. Naravno, višejezičnost, kao i sve ostalo, ima svoje prednosti i nedostatke.
Temeljni je cilj ovog diplomskog rada ispitati s kojim se izazovima, prednostima, nedostacima i poteškoćama suočavaju višejezični govornici. Provedeno je stoga istraživanje kojim se htjelo odgovoriti na pitanja podržavaju li roditelji razvoj višejezične u djece, s kojim su se poteškoćama susreli višejezični govornici u kontekstu obrazovanja i socijalnih interakcija te što smatraju prednostima, a što nedostacima višejezičnosti. Također, nastojalo se detaljnije istražiti neke od sastavnica okolinskog utjecaja na dječji višejezični razvoj. S obzirom na to da se uz pojam višejezičnosti veže i kultura, istraživanjem se željelo ispitati i kako višejezični govornici gledaju na odnos jezika i kulture te kako to utječe na njihov identitet i samopouzdanje. Istraživanje je provedeno metodom polustrukturiranog intervjua. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo devet sudionika od kojih je šest ženskog spola i tri muškoga spola. Ispitanici su bili u dobi od dvadeset i tri do trideset godina, odnosno, izazovi dječjeg višejezičnog razvoja ispitali su se iz perspektive odraslih govornika. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da su prednosti višejezičnosti brojne i da dominiraju nad pojedinim poteškoćama i negativnim iskustvima. Većina ispitanika tvrdi da se ni nije susrela s nedostacima. Među nedostacima koje su ispitanici izdvojili ističu se miješanje jezika i osjećaj manje pripadnosti skupini. Također, istraživanje je pokazalo kako roditelji i okolina imaju velik utjecaj na višejezični razvoj djece.Multilingualism is a complex phenomenon whose definitions in the literature are not unambiguous or universal. Most often, multilingualism is understood as the knowledge and use of two languages by the same person. There is no agreement about the effect of multilingualism on the child's linguistic and overall development either. Some believe that the multilingual development of children can bring many challenges, but most experts agree that multilingualism brings many positive effects. Of course, multilingualism, like everything else, has its advantages and disadvantages. The main goal of this thesis is to examine what challenges, advantages, disadvantages and difficulties multilingual speakers face. Therefore, research was conducted to answer the questions of whether parents support the development of multilingualism in children, what difficulties multilingual speakers encountered in the context of education and social interactions, and what they consider the advantages and disadvantages of multilingualism. Also, an effort was made to investigate in more detail some of the components of the environmental influence on children's multilingual development. Given that the concept of multilingualism is also linked to culture, the research also wanted to examine how multilingual speakers view the relationship between language and culture and how this affects their identity and self-confidence. The research was conducted using a semi-structured interview method. Nine participants took part in the research, of which six were female and three were male. The respondents were between the ages of twenty-three and thirty, that is, the challenges of children's multilingual development were examined from the perspective of adult speakers. The research results showed that the advantages of multilingualism are numerous and that they dominate certain difficulties and negative experiences. Most of the respondents claim that they have not even encountered any shortcomings. Among the shortcomings identified by the respondents are the mixing of languages and the feeling of less belonging to a group. Also, research has shown that parents and the environment have a great influence on children's multilingual development

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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 PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
