Wie "tickt" Karl Rahner? : theologisches Erkennen und Argumentieren
No full textDer Text der Rahner Lecture 2014 von Karl H. Neufeld geht aus von dem Verhältnis Rahners zur Hochschule für Philosophie in München, an der der Vortrag gehalten wurde. Neufeld spricht über das Verhältnis von Philosophie und Theologie im Werk Rahners. Die "Umdestination" Rahners durch den Jesuitenorden vom Ziel einer philosophiegeschichtlichen Professur zur Übernahme eines theologischen Lehrstuhl in Innsbruck ist nur äußerlich durch die abgebrochene philosophische Promotion in Freiburg i.Br. ausgelöst. Anhand eines Aufsatz von 1940 zu Heidegger und eines Vortrags zur Existentialphilosophie von 1954 skizziert Neufeld das Verhältnis von Philosophie und Theologie in Rahners Denken. Der zweite Teil behandelt das Verhältnis zur Geschichte, der dritte spricht - als Beispiel eines Dialogs mit humanistischem Denken - über die Präsentation der ungarischen Ausgabe von Rahners "Grundkurs des Glaubens" 1984 in Budapest

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
Adjusting to Globalization: Challenges for the Canadian Banking System
No full textThe mid-1960s were the good old days for Canadian bankers before the Canadian banking system was opened up to foreign competition. Now it is a whole new competitive ball game as Edward P. Neufeld points out in his paper on the challenges that globalization poses for the Canadian banking system. He argues that the ability of Canadian institutions to withstand increasing foreign competition will depend on their economic efficiency relative to that of the encroaching competitors. In his view, the forces that have facilitated globalization of financial services have also made obsolete past measures of economies of scale and of the “optimum” size of financial institutions, and past guidelines concerning excessive domestic market concentration are no longer reliable. For Canadian financial institutions to experience solid growth in the future will require them to be internationally competitive at home and abroad. But unfortunately they have been slipping down the list of important international financial institutions as measured by the size of their assets and of their capital bases, and as a result their non-interest costs are 10 to 20 per cent higher than they would be if mergers were permitted. Otherwise, the forces of globalization will generate a persistent tendency towards increased foreign ownership of Canadian financial institutions, as has already begun to happen, and towards an increase in non-Canadian executives running them. Neufeld is very concerned that Bill C-8, which is the new legislation reforming the financial service sector passed this year, contains discrimina- tory measures that will undermine the international competitiveness of the Canadian banking system. These include: a restrictive and politicized bank merger policy, which risks preventing Canadian banks from achieving the economies of scale that their much larger international competitors are achieving; the continued prohibition against the distribution of life insurance through bank branches, which directly restricts competition in the Canadian market; the continued exclusion of the banks from the car leasing business, a business almost completely dominated by foreign institutions; and the threat in the bill directed at the large Canadian banks, and not at smaller competing institutions or foreign institutions located in Canada or entering the Canadian market through the Internet, that if they do not provide certain low-cost services they will be forced to do so. In Neufeld’s view, the most glaring weakness of the new policy as concerns competition is its failure to recognize clearly that by far the most important source of future competition will be large international institutions operating directly in Canada and through the Internet from outside Canada. He regards the merger process as flawed in that it is tortuous, and therefore inevitably subject to long delays, and risks being hostage to short-term political considerations. Neufeld believes that the key question that needs to be addressed is not whether Canadians will get the world-class financial services they require, because international competition will ensure that, but whether the services will be provided by Canadian banks or foreign financial institutions.Canada, Banking, Banks, Financial Services, Mergers, Market Concentration, Bill C-8
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
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
Letter from R. R. Zellick, Assistant Trust Officer, Anglo California National Bank of San Francisco, to Joseph R. Goodman, October 2, 1942
No full textLetter from R. R. Zellick, Assistant Trust Officer at The Anglo California National Bank of San Francisco, to Joseph R. Goodman, regarding property owned by Dave Tatsuno. Zellick mentions a dispute between current tenants and Tatsuno, and that Tatsuno has asked Goodman to help locate trustworthy tenants.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
