Does shame bring out the worst in narcissists? On moral emotions and immoral behaviors
No full textGenerations of psychologists, philosophers, anthropologists, and lay-persons have viewed shame, alongside with guilt, as a quintessent moral emotion (e.g., Darwin, 1872; Emde & Oppenheim, 1995; Spiecker, 1991; Williams, 1993). As Gaylin (1979, p. 76) so eloquently wrote, “shame and guilt are noble emotions essential in the maintenance of civilized society, and vital for the development of some of the most refined and elegant qualities of human potential”. Applied and practical efforts have also focused on shame and guilt as joint causes of virtuous behaviour. For example, the main goal of the increasingly popular notion of “reintegrative shaming” in the so-called restorative justice conferences (where stakeholders of a delinquent act convene to confront the offender with the consequences of his/her act) is to instil a sense of shame or guilt in the offender in order to inhibit future misbehaviour (Braithwaite, 1989; Retzinger & Scheff, 1996). Likewise, most readers will remember the “shaming corner” as the place they feared to be directed to after having committed a “moral wrong” in their elementary school classroom (Maxwell & Reichenbach, 2005)
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
Simultaneous Process Optimisation and Molecular Design: Development of a group contribution method for a physically based equation of state
No full textIn this report the range of compounds that can be considered for simultaneous optimisation of process parameters and molecular structure through the CoMT-CAMD method is largely increased. The approach is extended by expanding a database of component PCP-SAFT parameters and development and implementation of a group contribution method GCP-SAFT. Before implementation of these approaches, the amount of structures for consideration was about one hundred, but it was shown here that this amount can be increased to over 1,000 and 100,000 respectively through implementation of an expanded PCP-SAFT parameter database and development of a group-contribution method (GCP-SAFT) respectively. An expanded PCP-SAFT parameter database was created by fitting measurements from the DIPPR database When this expanded database, containing PCP-SAFT parameters for 1371 components, is used for structure mapping, the value of the minimisation goal function (Second order Taylor Expansion approximation) can be decreased by an order of magnitude, compared to results obtained by Steur (2009). This indicates that the potential process performance, utilising real molecules, can be further increased by increasing the amount of molecules taken into consideration. The thermodynamic behaviour of components, for which no measurements have been performed, can be predicted through the development of a group contribution method for a physically based equation of state: Group Contribution Polar Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (GCP-SAFT). Three related group contribution approaches, derived from homogeneous fluid theory, showed very similar accuracy for the prediction of adapted non-associative PC-SAFT parameters. Therefore the approach developed by Vijande et al (2004) was adopted here as well, where the molecular parameters m , ms 3 and me k are linearly dependant on contributions for thecontained functional groups. This approach was expanded to associative and polar components constituting a maximum of a single dipolar or associative group. Molecular quadrupolar moments and binary interaction parameters were left out of consideration. Both dipolar and associative group contribution parameters were obtained by simple averaging. The prediction of dipole moments was relatively accurate, with AARE values for this parameter generally below 10% (36 out of 45 polar functional groups). Furthermore it is shown that the assumption of constant relative associative volume is rather strong for the homologous series of alcohols, whereas it is not well, statistically, supported for acids and amines. This is mainly due to the rejection of associative behaviour (negligible converged e AB k and k AB values) for a large portion of these series of compounds by the algorithm that fits PCP-SAFT parameters. AARE values for molecular adapted PCP-SAFT parameters m ,ms 3 and m2s 3e k are 9.28; 2.87 and 5.58% respectively for the GCP-SAFT method that takes dipolar and associative behaviour into account. This is less accurately than literature values obtained for the same model but can be largely explained through the incorporation of associative components. It is expected that Simultaneous Process Optimisation and Molecular Design overall prediction accuracy for mixtures will increase through the added prediction of dipolar and associative parameters. Model constants were fitted to 593 component PCP-SAFT parameter sets, which contained data for 75 associative components. This produced a set of 66 first order functional groups for which GCP-SAFT contributions are known. The confidence of this method is limited to components with a maximum of three branches, as the linear equations for m ,ms 3 and m2s 3e k are biased for cyclic and highly branched structures. These 66 functional groups were utilised in a sample structure generation algorithm to conveniently generate over a 100,000 different non-linear, non-aromatic structures and corresponding GCP-SAFT parameter sets that can be taken into account in simultaneous process optimisation and molecular design.Engineering ThermodynamicsProcess and EnergyMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin
