Baroque Architecture of Varaždin County
No full textBarokna arhitektura Varaždinske županije zauzima istaknuto mjesto u okviru hrvatske kulturne i umjetničke baštine. Kao stil koji se razvio u 17. i 18. stoljeću pod snažnim utjecajem Katoličke crkve, društvenih promjena i tadašnje političke stvarnosti Habsburške Monarhije, barok je oblikovao vizualni identitet brojnih europskih gradova, a osobito je ostavio traga u sjevernoj Hrvatskoj. U tom kontekstu, Varaždinska županija, a posebice grad Varaždin, postaju ključna točka barokne graditeljske aktivnosti na kontinentu. Varaždin je kroz povijest bio sjedište županije, privremena prijestolnica i središte plemićkih obitelji, crkvenih redova i kulturnih institucija. Takav status omogućio je intenzivnu graditeljsku djelatnost koja je u velikoj mjeri bila obilježena baroknim stilom. Sakralna arhitektura tog razdoblja – crkve, kapele i samostani – svjedoče o ulozi religije i obnove Crkve nakon Tridentskog koncila. Istovremeno, svjetovna arhitektura – raskošne palače, gradska vijećnica, dvorci u okolici – pokazuje moć i bogatstvo plemstva koje je željelo izraziti društveni status kroz arhitektonske projekte. Posebno se ističu palače obitelji Erdödy, Patačić i Drašković, dvorac Batthyany u Ludbregu te brojni franjevački i isusovački sakralni objekti.
Barokna arhitektura u Varaždinskoj županiji nije samo estetski ili povijesni spomenik prošlosti, već i važan resurs suvremenog društva. Njezina vrijednost prepoznaje se i u turističkoj ponudi regije – kroz manifestacije poput Špancirfesta, tematskih tura i kulturnog turizma koji privlače brojne posjetitelje u ovaj „barokni biser sjevera“. No, uz turističku eksploataciju neophodno je istaknuti važnost stručne zaštite, obnove i edukacije javnosti o vrijednosti ove baštine kako bi se očuvala za buduće generacije.
Ova tema pruža uvid u višeslojnost baroknog razdoblja – od povijesnog i stilskog konteksta, preko konkretnih arhitektonskih ostvarenja, do suvremenih izazova u njihovom očuvanju i valorizaciji. Ujedno otvara prostor za raspravu o ulozi kulturne baštine u oblikovanju lokalnog identiteta, društvene kohezije i održivog razvoja ruralnih i urbanih sredina.Baroque Architecture of Varaždin County holds a prominent place within the Croatian cultural and artistic heritage. As a style that developed in the 17th and 18th centuries under the strong influence of the Catholic Church, social changes, and the political reality of the Habsburg Monarchy, Baroque shaped the visual identity of numerous European cities, leaving a particularly strong mark on northern Croatia. In this context, Varaždin County—especially the city of Varaždin—became a key center of Baroque architectural activity on the continent. Historically, Varaždin served as the county seat, a temporary capital, and a hub of noble families, religious orders, and cultural institutions. This status enabled intensive architectural activity, largely characterized by the Baroque style. The sacred architecture of the period—churches, chapels, and monasteries—bears witness to the role of religion and the Catholic Church’s renewal after the Council of Trent. At the same time, secular architecture—lavish palaces, the city hall, and castles in the surrounding area—reflects the power and wealth of the nobility, who sought to express their social status through architectural projects. Notable examples include the palaces of the Erdödy, Patačić, and Drašković families, the Batthyany Castle in Ludbreg, and numerous Franciscan and Jesuit sacred buildings.
Baroque architecture in Varaždin County is not merely an aesthetic or historical monument of the past but also an important resource for contemporary society. Its value is recognized in the region's tourism offer—through events such as Špancirfest, thematic tours, and cultural tourism that attracts many visitors to this "Baroque gem of the North." However, alongside tourism exploitation, it is essential to emphasize the importance of professional conservation, restoration, and public education about the value of this heritage to preserve it for future generations.
This topic provides insight into the multi-layered nature of the Baroque era—from its historical and stylistic context to specific architectural achievements, and contemporary challenges in their preservation and valorization. It also opens space for discussion about the role of cultural heritage in shaping local identity, social cohesion, and the sustainable development of both rural and urban areas
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
