Sport, nacionalizam i medijska konstrukcija zbilje: Treća titula prvaka svijeta u košarci usred vrhunca jugoslavenske političke krize
Full text linkSport ovisi o dominantnoj kulturi i njezinim vrijednostima. Društveni značaj sporta mijenja se s društvenim promjenama. Odnos sporta i nacionalizma u društveno-humanističkim znanostima često je istraživan u okviru tematike raspada Jugoslavije. Hromadžić (2014) medije drži polugama moći za hegemonijsku prevlast društvenih elita, a Hardt i Negri (2003) ističu da je ključna uloga medija da oblikuju javne diskurse. Usred političke i ekonomske krize 1980-ih jugoslavenski košarkaši postižu iznimne uspjehe. Opće mjesto kolektivnog sjećanja te epohe pobjeda je u finalu SP-a u Argentini u kolovozu 1990. godine. Prvi je cilj rada utvrditi i usporediti retoriku hrvatskih i srpskih tiskovina o košarkaškoj reprezentaciji Jugoslavije tijekom kolovoza i rujna 1990. u dnevnim listovima (Vjesnik, Večernji list, Slobodna Dalmacija, Sportske novosti, Politika, Borba, Dnevnik, Sport) i tjednicima (Sprint, Slobodni tjednik, Nedjeljna Dalmacija, Tempo, Nin, Duga). Drugi je cilj, korištenjem odabranih medijskih priloga nakon 1990., utvrditi konstrukciju diskursa o aferi „Divčeva gaženja hrvatske zastave“. U realizaciji istraživanja koristili smo metodu studija slučaja. Studija slučaja obuhvatna je istraživačka metoda koja uključuje korištenje različitih metodoloških alata, a usredotočena je na događaje unutar njihova konkretnog društvenog konteksta. U radu polazimo od teze da je „afera Divac“ tijekom 1990-ih medijskim rekonstrukcijama i nacionalističkim reinterpretacijama u javnosti postala svojevrsni mit
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
Corporate Social Responsibility in Hanball
No full textOpći je cilj ovoga rada bio kvalitativnom metodom intervjua opaziti i opisati pojave
društveno odgovornog poslovanja u rukometu u Hrvatskoj. Provedeno je istraživanje sa 10
sudionika. Sudionici su bili podijeljeni u četiri kategorije: DOP eksperti, sportski novinari,
menadžment te djelatnici u rukometu (trener, igrač, sudac, osoba zaposlena u rukometnoj
organizaciji). Sudionici istraživanja bili su upitani o stavovima o suvremenom sportu, odnosu
hrvatske lige i ostalih liga, o društveno odgovornom poslovanju i održivom razvoju te o
praksama društveno odgovornog poslovanja u rukometu. Sudionici vide veliki potencijal u
hrvatskoj rukometnoj ligi, međutim zbog financijskog stanja klubova smatraju kako hrvatska
liga zaostaje za velikim europskim ligama, dok, govoreći o ligama u regiji, smatraju kako je
hrvatska liga u rangu za slovenskom ligom. Dio sudionika vidi sport kao moderno tehnološki
aspekt najrazvijeniji do sada, dok drugi dio smatra kako se sport previše komercijalizirao i
izgubio nekadašnje vrijednosti. Devet od deset sudionika znalo je definirat pojam DOP-a, dok
su održivi razvoj sudionici uglavnom poistovjećivali isključivo na prirodnoj, odnosno ekološkoj
razini. Sudionici su se tokom provođenja intervjua izjasnili kako su čuli za prakse DOP-a, koji
se uglavnom provodi na društvenoj razini (razne humanitarne akcije, inicijative lokalne
zajednice, razne društvene inicijative itd.) u hrvatskom rukometu. Smatraju kako se DOP
aktivnosti mogu najviše primijeniti poticanjem humanitarstva i humanitarnih inicijativa,
promicanjem sporta kao sredstva socijalizacije, moralnošću, radom i odgojem djece i zaštitom
klime.The general goal of this paper was to observe and describe the phenomena of Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) in handball in Croatia using a qualitative interview method. Interviews were survey conducted with 10 participants. Participants were divided into four categories: CSR experts, sports journalists, management and handball staff (coach, player, referee,
person employed in a handball organization). Research participants were asked about their
views on modern sports, the quality of Croatian league compared with other leagues, CSR and
sustainable development, and the practices of CSR in handball. Participants see great potential
in the Croatian handball league, but due to the financial condition of the clubs, they believe that
the Croatian league lags behind the major European leagues, while, speaking of leagues in the
region, they believe that the Croatian league is only behind the Slovenian league. Part of the
participants sees sport as a modern technological aspect the most developed so far, while the
other part believes that sport has become too commercialized and lost its former values. Nine
out of ten participants knew how to define the term CSR, while sustainable development was
mostly identified by the participants exclusively at the natural and ecological level. During the
interview, the participants stated that they had heard about the practices of CSR, which is
mainly carried out at the social level (various humanitarian actions, local community initiatives,
various social initiatives, etc.) in Croatian handball. They believe that CSR activities can be
best applied by encouraging humanitarian and humanitarian initiatives, promoting sports as a
means of socialization, morality, work and raising children, and protecting the climate. On the
other hand, the biggest challenges were identified as image building, financial gain, strategic
team building and increasing concern for society. The biggest benefits for handball organizations in the implementation of CSR policies are listed as building image, financial benefit, strategic team building and increasing care for society
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
The 1st International Scientific Conference the Role of Sport in Society Women, Sport, and Social Change: book of abstracts
No full textAs it has its own forms of organisation and its own culture, sport has a powerful influence on the lives of many members of society. Regular participation in physical activity and sport is key to the health, well-being, and optimal development of children and adolescents (WHO, 2020). Sport is a complex social practice, and as such, cannot be reduced to the broad belief that it is an exclusively or exceedingly positive social phenomenon (Elias and Dunning, 1986). For example, men in sport are still hold higher positions of power and influence than women. The majority of sports worldwide are defined as primarily male activities, which results in half of the world population being excluded or discouraged from participating in many sports (Coakley & Pike, 2009). Therefore, in the study of sports in the social sciences and humanities, gender relations impose themselves as a key research topic. Gender inequality has its roots in pre-modern societies. Among numerous other elements, gender relations are one of those that disprove the myth that sport has an exclusively positive impact on individuals, groups, and society. In most modern societies, sport is still exceptionally patriarchal in nature, and as such, is directed towards maintaining existing gender inequalities. Research shows that the negative impact of gender roles and stereotypes on the participation of girls and women in sport and physical activities leads to gender inequality and discrimination (Bartoluci and Baršic, 2020; Greblo Jurakic et al., 2021) in the Croatian context. Girls are less likely to engage in sporting activities and more frequently give up on sport, especially during adolescence (Pedišic et al., 2023). Changes in this context of social relations are take place slowly. The history of women in sport for most of the twentieth century consisted of individual and collective efforts to overcome exclusion and discrimination and to persistently seek spaces where women could take part in sport. Until the 1960s, the myth that aggressive, vigorous sports would harm the female body and its reproductive role were broadly accepted (Coakley, 2020). Opportunities to participate in certain sports have increased significantly in societies where women's rights are respected, but access to sports venues is difficult to ensure in cases where male participants are already competing for access to sports venues and social resources. Although steps have been taken towards gender equality, modern sport is still burdened with numerous problems and inequalities. Additionally, numerous new issues and public debates have arisen regarding the position and rights of LGBTIQ people in sport. We dare to claim that most societies do not have enough scientific conferences that bring together researchers and scientists who study the topics of gender and sport. We thus advocate a multidisciplinary approach to this topic and a pluralism of theoretical paradigms and perspectives. This conference intends to approach sport in a way that enables the inclusion of researchers of various methodological and theoretical backgrounds and ensure dialogue between various actors in order to provide insight into the possibility of implementing scientific discoveries in social practices tied to gender relations in sport. In this way, we wish to promote diversity and equality, within the framework of which sports and competition can serve to facilitate cooperation between various actors on the local, national, and international level. This international conference is our collective attempt to contribute to existing scientific knowledge on the topic of sport and gender in sociology, kinesiology, history, psychology, political science, ethnology, philosophy, and other related fields. We are convinced that this is just the beginning of our long journey together, because it is our goal to make this conference a regular one with longitudinal character, bringing together scientists who study various dimensions of sport in social life, with a focus on social change. Sport can serve as a mirror for society, as well as a resource for social change with the goal of attaining gender equality
