Variations on the Author
No full text“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
Zygmunt Gloger’s ethnographic and folkloric heritage in the context of cultural and educational activities of “Nasza Niwa”
No full textThe article focuses on the role of one of the first Belarusian periodicals, “Nasza Niwa”, on the development of Belarusian ethnographic and folklore studies. The author sees a parallel between Zygmunt Gloger’s writings and the cultural and educational initiatives undertaken by the periodical’s publisher. He describes the editorial board’s contribution to the development of research on Belarusian legends carried out by Wacłau Łastowski, his work as a secretary in the editorial board, the writings of Olgierd Bulba, and Sz. Jadwigin’s (Anton Lawicki’s) Letters from the Road, which contain notes on local history. The article shows a change in the editorial board’s priorities concerning national culture.Paweł Nawojczyk – doc. dr, absolwent Wydziału Filologicznego Białoruskiego Uniwersytetu Państwowego w Mińsku (1989).

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

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
Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1902-1907

Long-term variations in fish assemblage, macrophyte community, and water quality in Lake Rotoroa (Hamilton Lake)
No full textLake Rotoroa (37º48’S, 175º16’E) is a small, shallow, polymictic lake located on the western side of Hamilton City. The lake covers an area of 0.54 km2 with a mean depth of 2.4 m, catchment and riparian margins have been significantly modified into a suburban park-like setting. Due to its urban location and recreational value, exotic flora and fauna have been intentionally and unintentionally introduced. This has resulted in fluctuations in water quality and changes in phytoplankton, fish, and macrophyte assemblages over the past 60 years. The overall aim of this thesis is to summarise the fluctuations in water quality and macrophyte community of Lake Rotoroa associated with introduction of exotic species, and to develop a general understanding of the ecosystem response. This study involved collating and analysing available information on fish assemblages, macrophyte community, and water quality in Lake Rotoroa. Data from nine fish surveys undertaken between 1976 and 2012 has been combined. Water quality and macrophyte data was supplied by NIWA, who have undertaken monitoring for Hamilton City Council as part of the national lakes monitoring programme.
Fishing methods have varied from gill, trap, and fyke netting between 1976 and 2001, with boat electrofishing surveys between 2003 and 2012. Lake Rotoroa has a relatively diverse freshwater fish fauna, comprising two native and six exotic fish species. The fish assemblage is now dominated by the native shortfin eel (Anguilla australis), European perch (Perca fluviatilis), brown bullhead catfish (Ameiurus nebulosus), and tench (Tinca tinca), with low densities of rudd (Scardinius erythrophthalmus) and goldfish (Carassius auratus). Fish density and biomass have varied throughout the survey period, to some extent related to the environmental conditions and macrophyte cover.
Macrophyte coverage and water quality have undergone considerable changes in the last 30 years, with the collapses of macrophytes stimulating decreases in water quality and increased perch abundance. In 1990, the macrophyte community collapsed with an associated release of nutrients into the water column, causing the lake to become supertrophic. Between 1992 and 2010, water quality improved, with a decrease phosphorus concentrations that apparently limited phytoplankton biomass and improved water clarity. This allowed macrophytes to recolonise the lake to 30% lake bed coverage in 2005 and a consequent improvement from supertrophic to a eutrophic state. Since 2009, the macrophyte community has undergone another collapse, with only a few clumps of native charophytes and Egeria densa present in 2011. The reduction of macrophytes has been accompanied by a decrease in water clarity. The collapse has been attributed to disturbance by grazing from the herbivorous rudd and foraging benthic feeding fish, although other stresses such as decreased water clarity and microcystins may also have had an influence.
Further research is needed on the selectivity between passive and active fish capture methods used to allow accurate comparisons between the two methods. This will allow for density and biomass estimates to be made for the passive fishing methods previously used and allow greater insight into changes in abundance of fish populations in Lake Rotoroa
