Privacy Paradox: A Predictive Processing Approach
No full textVarovanje zasebnosti v digitalnem svetu predstavlja vse večji izziv za posameznike in družbo. Čeprav posamezniki običajno izražajo skrb glede zaščite svoje digitalne zasebnosti, se njihov odnos mnogokrat ne odraža v njihovem vedenju – opisano neskladje poznamo pod izrazom paradoks zasebnosti. Namen tega magistrskega dela je na podlagi pristopa napovedne obdelave ponuditi nov vpogled v razumevanje paradoksa zasebnosti in njegove povezanosti s funkcionalnimi načeli, ki jih ta pristop predlaga. Metodološki pristop temelji na razvoju konceptualnega modela paradoksa zasebnosti z vidika napovednega procesiranja, ki temelji na apliciranju načel pristopa napovednega procesiranja na koncepte paradoksa zasebnosti. Predlagana razlaga nakazuje, da se paradoks lahko pojavi, ker uporabniki ustvarjajo abstraktne in kontekstualno nespecifične napovedi v zvezi z digitalno zasebnostjo, ki se ne prenesejo v specifične digitalne kontekste. To neskladje je še večje, ker se razkrivanje podatkov dogaja v kontekstih, ki pogosto nimajo jasnih senzoričnih signalov o zasebnosti ali pa uporabnikom predstavljajo zavajajoče senzorične signale. Pomanjkanje senzoričnih signalov preprečuje nastanek napovedne napake in procesa njene minimizacije, s katerim bi lahko uporabniki posodobili prepričanja o digitalni zasebnosti na način, ki bi ustrezal njihovemu odnosu do digitalne zasebnosti. Model je primerjan z obstoječimi pristopi za razumevanje paradoksa zasebnosti in ovrednoten s pristopom študij primera obstoječih empiričnih dokazov. Predlagane so praktične implikacije za uporabnike in oblikovalce politik, ki delujejo na področju varovanja digitalne zasebnosti, ter usmeritve za prihodnje raziskave.Protecting privacy in today\u27s digital landscape has become a pressing challenge for both individuals and society at large. Despite expressing concerns about digital privacy, individuals often struggle to align their attitudes with their actual behaviour – a phenomenon known as the privacy paradox. Drawing from the predictive processing approach, this master\u27s thesis aims to offer fresh insights into understanding the privacy paradox and its relationship with the functional principles proposed by the approach. The methodology involves developing a conceptual account of the privacy paradox from a predictive processing perspective, which is based on syntheses of knowledge derived from principles of the predictive processing approach and conceptual analysis of the privacy paradox. The proposed account suggests that the paradox may emerge due to users generating abstract and contextually non-specific predictions regarding digital privacy, which fail to translate into specific digital contexts. This discrepancy is furthered by data disclosure occurring within contexts that often lack clear privacy sensory signals or present users with misleading sensory cues. The lack of sensory signals prevents the occurrence of prediction error minimisation, with which the users\u27 beliefs about digital privacy could be updated in a way that correlates to their attitudes. The account is compared to existing approaches for understanding the privacy paradox and evaluated through a case study approach of existing empirical evidence. Practical implications for individuals and policymakers working in the realm of digital privacy protection and direction for future research are proposed
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
