Le reti sociali e i professionisti in sanità: una review della letteratura
No full textSocial networks and social capital of healthcare professionals have gained momentum. An increasing number of clinical outlets and management journals in this field are welcoming articles in which relational coordination mechanisms are considered as the “right” way to face the numerous challenges of modern healthcare. The higher specialization of providers has to be balanced with the need of integration and coordination that emerging patients’ needs increasingly require. Despite this vivid debate, there is still a lack of systematic analyses of scientific contributions on this topic. This paper is aimed at filling this gap by reviewing 76 articles, which were selected and later analyzed by accessing the ISI Web of Knowledge database. The article reviews the antecedents and consequences of professionals’ social capital discussed in the literature. Knowing these antecedents and consequences, policy makers and managers can better plan and introduce any organizational innovations

The impact of management on medical professionalism: a review
No full textIn the last three decades, medical doctors have increasingly been exposed to management control measures. This phenomenon has been reflected in a number of studies in various disciplines, including sociology, organisation studies, management, and health service research. This article seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the studies dealing with the impact of management on professional control. In particular, it seeks to bridge the diversity of assumptions, theoretical perspectives and conceptual underpinnings at play, by exploring synergies between them and opening up new horizons for research. The review shows how the relationship between clinicians and management has been analysed at an organisational level using two interconnected analytical frameworks focusing on the sociocultural and task-related dimensions of professionalism. In the final discussion, we argue that comparative, longitudinal and cross-sectional research is necessary, and there is a need to overcome the hegemony/resistance framework in current analyses of the impact of management on professionalism. Such an approach would contribute to the revision of macro theories of professionalism and stimulate emerging research by examining different perspectives towards management in medical specialisations. This approach might also stimulate a discussion of medical professionals’ relationships with members of other professional groups, including nurses and healthcare managers
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
Institucionalizace krajske podpory sportu v Ceske republice
No full textV roce 2000 schválila Vláda České republiky Zákon č. 129/2000 Sb. o krajích ČR. Tímto zákonem nejenže vymezila hranice čtrnácti nových krajů, ale zároveň tak na ně delegovala povinnost přispívat k dosažení cílů veřejných politik, mezi nimiž se objevila i podpora sportu. Definování této povinnosti, znovu potvrzené a specifikované Zákonem č. 115/2001 o podpoře sportu, zahájilo proces institucionalizace politiky sportu na krajské úrovni veřejné správy. Kraje tak představovaly novou úroveň veřejné podpory sportu, která byla na nižší úrovni zajištěna obcemi a na úrovni vyšší Vládou ČR, respektive Ministerstvem školství, mládeže a tělovýchovy. Tento krok byl zatím posledním důležitým mezníkem, jenž ovlivnil stávající podobu vztahu veřejné podpory sportu a po pádu socialistického režimu v roce 1989 stále autonomnějšího sportovního hnutí (Chaker, 2004; Dvořák, 2006)
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
