Judicial Conduct: A Rethinking in Creating Public Confidence
Full text linkThe very edifice of Indian democracy is judiciary. The subordinate judiciary is said to be the kingpin in the hierarchical system of administration of justice. The role of the judges and their judicial integrity has to be displayed magnanimously. Any conduct of judge is under the radar of public scrutiny. So, confidence building is a continuing effort and a most important driving force. Refinement of the judicial conduct is necessitated in order to promote the trust of the public in the judicial system. The regulation of the judicial conduct is required to accomplish the values and virtues of the judges. The “Bangalore Principles of Judicial Conduct” intends to conceive the ethical standards for the judges. The expectation from a judge is of being independent, impartial, having integrity and creating confidence in the public. The morality and integrity of the judiciary is of utmost importance in any modern democratic society. A Judge shall exercise competence and diligence in performance of the judicial office. A judge is predictable self-restrictions and the conduct shall be consistent with the dignity of the judicial office. Judiciary shall bear the prime responsibility for the promotion and maintenance of highest standards of judicial conduct. Judge should never allow private interest or interest of the family members to override the prestige of the judicial office. Lack of integrity and character of the judge will affect or agitate the confidence of the litigating public. A greater responsibility is imposed on the trial court judge, who will have day-to-day contact with the litigant during the court proceedings. This responsibility is to build an atmosphere of trust amongst all the stakeholders in the judicial system. The author in this paper examines the important elements required for the enhancement of the public trust in the judicial system and the judicial response in upholding the ethical values
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
Role of the Indian Police in the Management of Law and Order and Enforcement of Human Rights During Covid-19 in India: An Analysis
Full text linkThe COVID-19 pandemic took the world by storm. Governments worldwide were caught unaware and had to resort to emergency measures to combat the rapid transmission of the coronavirus. The measures commonly adopted to prevent the pandemic were the imposition of lockdowns and movement restrictions in several countries across the globe. India, too, imposed stringent restrictions on movement as a measure to control the spread of the virus. For imposing the lockdown measures and ensuring that the people follow the rules laid down for territorial mobility, the role of the police was pivotal as well as crucial. They had to perform twin functions of securing brassbound lockdown arrangements and making essential and emergency services, including food sanitation and healthcare, accessible to the common people. The primary role of the police is to regulate and maintain law and order. The catastrophic situation required the police force to look beyond its traditional role and perform additional duties of assisting with supplies of essential goods, enforcement of mask mandates, social distancing measures and regulation of crowds in the hospitals. They ensured assistance when the patients required critical assistance in securing medical aid and life-saving equipment like oxygen cylinders. However, there were also reports of police brutality and excessive use of force to enforce public health and social measures.
The study analyses how the police performed their role in maintaining law and order when the COVID-19 pandemic struck India. The police performed several tasks, which included the enforcement of the lockdown, ensuring access to vaccines and facilitating the course of people during health emergencies. However, there were also negative police responses, where they engaged in brutality and harshness against the general public. The paper also suggests how the negative aspects of policing during the Pandemic can be improved in the future
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
