HUMAN CAPITAL -DRIVING FORSE OF INTELECTUAL CAPITAL IN CREATING FUTURE
Full text linkAbstract In time characterized by complex and uncertain business environment and working conditions; where small, medium but even large (and up till yesterday) successful companies are failing on daily basis, it is important to have economy models which will ensure reestablishment of value system of industrial era, models which will give expected, positive, results. In general, this is not the case since there is no compatibility of models with requirements of information era. So, those negative results together with market positions taken by those who understand changes better, emphasises need for understanding and implementing change management in companies. When trying to overcome mentioned obstacles in coping with changes and demolished value system, key success variable was detected -human capital as the best source of creative energy. In this study, human capital, as in many studies before, is recognised as driving force of intellectual capital and as well as synergy effect of conatival, motivational, cognitional, social, moral and communicational dimension.

EDUCATION AS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT SUBSTRUCTION ON THE PATH TO KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY
Full text linkLisabonskom su agendom zemlje Europske unije svojim ciljem razvoja do 2010. godine definirale postizanje najveće konkurentnosti i postajanje društvom znanja. Ovako definirani ciljevi su varijabla jer su nekima, prije svega razvijenim zemljama EU15 već sada standard, drugima su realna perspektiva dok su nekima čista utopija. Jednim od najznačajnijih stupova za postizanje ovoga cilja smatra se obrazovanje. U Hrvatskoj je započeo proces prilagodbe obrazovnog procesa koji zahtijeva temeljnu promjenu u procesu mišljenja i prijelaz s klasičnih «adaptivnih» modela utemeljenih na primanju informacija, na «stvaralačke» modele učenja činjenjem i stalnim povećavanjem svojih sposobnosti za stvaranje svoje budućnosti. Prepreka na ovome putu mogu biti roditelji i nastavnici koji su u vremenu digitalnog rascjepa zadržali tržišnu i vlasničku orijentaciju svojstvenu industrijskom društvu i time postali nekompetentni za rješavanje problema i kreiranje budućnosti svoje informacijski, mrežno i pristupom orijentirane djece.The aim of the Lisbon Agenda for the countries of the European Union is to achieve the highest competence and to become knowledge-driven society by 2010.The goals defined this way are a variable because in some developed countries of EU15 they have already become the standard, for the others they are real perspective, whereas for some they are pure utopia. Education is considered to be one of the most important pillars to achieve this goal. The adjustment of education process has already started in Croatia. It calls for fundamental change in the process of thinking and shifting from classic “adaptive” models based on receiving information to more “creative” models of learning by improving the abilities to create better future. The obstacle in this course may be the parents and teachers, who in the era of digital gap have kept market and owner orientation, the characteristic of industrial society, thus becoming incompetent to solve the problems and create the future of their computer and network oriented children
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
