Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
The social impact of privatization in Ethiopia
No full textMBL Research ReportThis paper examines the social impact of privatization in Ethiopia. The paper explains the survey
result concerning the major social implications or impact issues such as retrenchment or lay –
offs, changes in price of product or services, product output, income of employees in privatized
companies. The paper also examines the changes in working conditions and the relationship
between the management and employees and the management and the labor union. Data are
collected from 6 privatized enterprises and other governmental agencies and Confederation of
Ethiopian Trade Unions and industry federations. As for study purpose, mixed (qualitative and
quantitative) method was used. 120 employees of the privatized enterprises were randomly
selected but 108 employees responded to questionnaires. The study revealed that the number
of employees retrenched from the privatized enterprises was significant. But satisfactory work
has not been done to help and support the retrenched employees to be re-employed or start
their own mini-businesses under safety net schemes. The study also revealed that there were
significant changes in product, output, quality and income of employees. There was an increase
in product output and quality in enterprises which have taken improvement actions in
technological, organizational structure and input supplies. The increase in income was also seen
in enterprises which have taken fast improvement action. A decrease in income of employees
was observed in enterprises which have not taken improvement actions. The relationship
between management and employees and labor union was in bad conditions in most of
privatized enterprises.M. B. L.Graduate School of Business Leadershi
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
Effect of Na/Al and curing moisture conditions on sodium aluminosilicate hydrate (N–A–S–H) geopolymers’ hydric properties
No full textAnthropogenic climate change is one of the main reasons for mainstreaming sustainability in all sectors. Reducing the carbon footprint of the built environment is one of the sustainability goals which is universally accepted. Reducing the carbon emissions from buildings entails cutting back operational and embodied carbon. Geopolymers are one of these materials that have been under focus recently for their capacity to reduce these two sources’ emissions in buildings. In this study, the authors added to their previous work on understanding aerated geopolymers’ performance as building materials. This article presents the effect of Na/Al ratio and curing moisture on the moisture storage, transfer, and moisture buffering capacity (MBC) of aerated geopolymers. The impact of vapor gradient and exposure to variable environmental conditions (temperature and relative humidity(%RH)) are also surveyed. Generally, the results show correlations between hydric performance and the tested experimental parameters. This stems from the influence of Na/Al and curing relative humidity on the degree of geopolymerization, rate of reaction, porosity, and phase composition of metakaolin-based geopolymers. Vapor permeability and moisture diffusivity increased with rising alkali oxide content because of the higher degree decomposition of porogen and pore stabilization effect of rapid polycondensation. Moisture permeability and diffusivity also showed direct relationships with curing relative humidity. Low relative humidity results in the rapid loss of inter-layer water and leads to densification of the matrix, while high %RH curing is suitable for pore formation and stability. The MBC of the samples increases with increasing Na/Al because of increased porosity leading to access to more gel pores. However, at high values, the sub-carbonation (internal carbonation) and carbonation lead to the formation of sodium carbonate, which is highly hydrophilic and influences the material's moisture exchange capacity negatively. This justifies the lower MBC at Na/Al=1. A similar observation was made when curing moisture content was increased. The influence of the Na/Al and curing moisture on the pore statistics of the geopolymer matrix are observed by their adsorption isotherms. At lower curing humidity and Na/Al, the samples tend to be less macroporous, dominated mainly by micropores. This is evidenced by the onset of capillary condensation at low %RH because of raid pore filling. The results also demonstrate the critical role Na/Al plays in determining the resulting matrix's microstructural integrity. This is evidenced by the low durability of the sample with Na/Al equal to 1.2. The samples’ loss of structural integrity is because of carbonation-triggered retardation of strength development and stress put on micropores because of sub-carbonation-driven crystallization
