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
Growth performance and immune response of catfish Clarias sp. given probiotics Bacillus megaterium PTB 1.4 and Pediococcus pentosaceus E2211
Get PDFABSTRACT
Motile aeromonad septicaemia (MAS) in catfish can be done by improving the immune responses through probiotic administration. Co-administering probiotics producing digestive enzymes are expected to have an impact on fish growth. This study was aimed to evaluate the effectivity of probiotics B. megaterium PTB 1.4 and P. pentosaceus E2211 to improve the growth performance and immune response of catfish infected by Aeromonas hydrophila. Catfish with the initial body weight of 7.36 ± 0.21 g were reared in a pond. This study was conducted with five treatments, i. e. K- (without probiotic addition and A. hydrophila injection), K+ (no probiotic addition with A. hydrophila injection), Bm (B. megaterium PTB 1.4 addition and A. hydrophila injection), Pp (P. pentosaceus E2211 addition and A. hydrophila injection), and Bm+Pp (B. megaterium PTB 1.4 addition and P. pentosaceus E2211 and A. hydrophila injection). The study results showed that Bm, Pp, and Bm+Pp treatments were able to improve the growth performance of catfish including digestive enzyme activity, daily growth rate, feed conversion ratio, and final biomass with the best results was Bm+Pp treatment. The immune response of catfish before and after the challenge test showed better survival rate, higher total leukocytes, phagocytic activity, respiratory burst, and lysozyme activity on Bm, Pp, and Bm+Pp treatment (P<0.05) than the control treatment. In conclusion, the combination of probiotics B. megaterium PTB 1.4 and P. pentosaceus E2211 in feed synergistically improved the growth performance and immune response on catfish against A. hydrophila infection.

ABSTRAK
Motile aeromonad septicaemia (MAS) pada ikan lele dapat dikendalikan melalui respons imun inang dengan pemberian probiotik. Pemberian bersama probiotik penghasil enzim pencernaan diharapkan dapat berdampak pada pertumbuhan ikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi efektivitas pemberian probiotik B. megaterium PTB 1.4 dan P. pentosaceus E2211 terhadap kinerja pertumbuhan dan respons imun ikan lele terhadap infeksi A. hydrophila. Ikan lele dengan bobot 7.36 ± 0.21 g dipelihara pada kolam beton yang diberi waring. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dengan lima perlakuan, yaitu: K- (tanpa probiotik dan tanpa diinjeksi A. hydrophila), K+ (tanpa probiotik dan diinjeksi A. hydrophila), Bm (diberi B. megaterium PTB 1.4 dan diinjeksi A. hydrophila), Pp (diberi P. pentosaceus E2211 dan diinjeksi A. hydrophila), dan Bm+Pp (diberi B. megaterium PTB 1.4 dan P. pentosaceus E2211 dan diinjeksi A. hydrophila). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perlakuan Bm, Pp, dan Bm+Pp mampu meningkatkan pertumbuhan ikan lele. Aktivitas enzim pencernaan, laju pertumbuhan harian, rasio konversi pakan, dan biomassa panen dengan hasil terbaik yaitu perlakuan Bm+Pp. Respons imun ikan lele dengan kombinasi probiotik B. megaterium PTB 1.4 dan P. pentosaceus E2211 mampu meningkatkan sintasan, total leukosit, aktivitas fagositosis, respiratory burst, dan aktivitas lisozim, baik pada sebelum dan setelah uji tantang. Pemberian kombinasi probiotik B. megaterium PTB 1.4 dan P. pentosaceus E2211 pada pakan mampu bekerja sinergis dalam meningkatkan kinerja pertumbuhan dan respons imun ikan lele terhadap infeksi A. hydrophila.

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
