Nancy Gibbs
No full textNancy was a child of the "Stolen Generation", born at Tanumbirini Station. Her mother Lilian Maria from the Tanami Desert and her father Joseph Hans Croft (Hans) was German. Nancy was taken from her family at the age of 3 and sent to the Kahlin Home. There she was named Nancy, which her father was allowed to choose for her. When she was 5 her mother visited her but the manager wouldn't let her into the home and she was not allowed to speak in her native tongue only English which she was able to do, it was devastating for Nancy and her mother. Hans worked in Darwin and would often visit Nancy at the home, taking her out ignoring the authorities. She was an intelligent girl and the Kahlin home authorities wanted to send her to a boarding school until they discovered she had leprosy, her father left Darwin and returned to Germany and she was sent to the Leprosarium on Channel Island. Nancy discovered that her mother was also a patient there, sadly her mother left and that was the last time she saw her.While at the leprosarium she would help staff with patients and trained as a nurse and Jack Jones who managed the communications also taught Nancy morse code so she could send messages, order medical and food supplies in his absence. When the Japanese bombed Darwin an American officer took her morse code machine, she then sent messages by torch to Darwin. When Jack and Elsie Jones left Channel Island in 1944 Nancy took over the communications role. Nancy was given a certificate of recognition for her contribution to the war effort in 1955. While at the leprosarium she met Jack Gibbs, although they never married, they were together for 48 years. After they left the leprosarium and travelled around the Territory. Jack died in the April 1996 Jack and Nancy moved into Juninga in 2005.NurseCommunications operatorIndigenous Australia
Varicella Encephalitis and Vaccinia Encephalitis with Nancy Gibbs
No full textIn this paper, Winnicott and Gibbs present two cases, one under the care of Winnicott and Gibbs of varicella encephalitis, and the other a case under the care of Dr H. B. Russell of vaccinia encephalitis. Both cases were patients at the Queen’s Hospital for Children. The two cases are very similar in type and looked clinically like rather severe cases of typical epidemic encephalitis lethargica; in both cases, there was complete recovery.</p
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
