Befolkning og intern konflikt
No full textDenne studiens hovedformål har vært å skape en dypere forståelse av hvorfor befolkningsrike land oftere opplever utbrudd av intern konflikt enn andre. Temaet er lite forsket på, selv om sammenhengen mellom konflikt og befolkningsstørrelse viser seg å være ett av få robuste resultater i litteraturen og forskningen. Denne analysen baserer seg på tanken om at det er andre faktorer som har en høy korrelasjon med befolkning som kan være med på å forklare dette forholdet. Fire ulike aspekter har blitt testet: (1) geografisk størrelse og avstand, (2) etnisk mangfold, (3) en større masse å rekruttere fra, og (4) økonomiske insentiver og korrupsjon. Analysen baserer seg på 6 tilhørende hypoteser. Resultatet av de kjørte regresjonsanalysene finner belegg for å anta at både geografisk størrelse, antall etniske relevante grupper og antall etniske ekskluderte grupper er med og påvirker forholdet mellom befolkningsstørrelse og konflikt. Videre viser regresjonsanalysene at det finnes belegg for at både størrelse på rural befolkning og størrelse på BNP påvirker den aktuelle sammenhengen, men her er resultatene noe mer usikre. Antall unge menn viser seg å være vanskelig å bruke som indikator, ettersom denne korrelerer sterkt med befolkningsstørrelse, og gir derfor uklare svar som er vanskelige å tolke

The theme for this paper has not been investigated as much as other themes that concerns civil conflict, despite the robust empirical findings in the literature that connects conflict to bigger populations. This analysis is based on the thought that other factors that describe a country and correlate with population can influence the relationship between population and conflict. Four different aspects have been tested: (1) geographical size and distance, (2) ethnic diversity, (3) a bigger mass to recruit from, and (4) financial incentives and corruption. The analysis is based on 6 associated hypotheses. The result of the regression analysis shows that both geographical size, number of ethnic relevant groups and number of ethnic excluded groups has a significant impact on the relationship between civil conflict and population size. The regression analysis also shows that the size of the rural population and the total GDP of the country has an impact on the relationship, but these results are much more uncertain compared to the other factors. It also shows that the variable that measure young men is not an appropriate measure to use with population size, because of the too high correlation between these variables. This makes it hard to say whether the size of young men in a country also affects the relationship between civil conflict and population size
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
