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
ELEVEN FACES OF JAN GOGOL, JR.
No full textAuthor Jan Rendl in his thesis attempts to look at the world of ideas and educator Jan
Gogola ml. through the eleven chapters in which each chapter somehow characterizes itself by Jan Gogola ml. and each of them somehow determines its creative ideas of it through the metaphor of a football match when Jan Gogola, with its characters, movies himself a teammate, as well as defensively. It gives goals with their situations as well as occasionally digging his opponents ankles.
Jan Gogola ml. thus embodies one stage of the Department of Documentary Film at FAMU, which often stands at the intersection between teaching activities and Karel Vachek among students who applied by them during their seminars psychological methods that work must be peculiarly associated with the author of the film

Coping strategies as determinants of quality of life in stroke patients: a longitudinal study
No full textBackground: quality of life (QoL) is reduced for stroke patients and coping strategies have been suggested as determinants of QoL. Thus far the relationship between coping and QoL has only been examined in small-scale cross-sectional designs. Therefore, the current study set out to examine this relationship in a longitudinal setting. Methods: stroke patients who were discharged home were interviewed at 4 different time points; just before discharge (T1), and 2 months (T2), 5 months (T3) and 9–12 months after discharge (T4). QoL was measured by the EQ-5D index score and the SF-36 utility score and coping expressed in terms of tenacious goal pursuit and flexible goal adjustment. Modified Rankin scale was assessed as a measure of general functioning. Results: eighty stroke patients were included. Coping was not predictive of QoL at T1 and T2 but rather at T3 and T4. At T4 both coping strategies determined the levels of QoL as measured with the EQ-5D index score; higher levels of tenacious goal pursuit as well as flexible goal adjustment were associated with higher levels of QoL. This regression model explained 44% of the variance. Conclusions: Coping is a powerful determinant of QoL, but only more than 5 months after discharge; before this time QoL is mainly determined by general functioning. Both coping strategies were important determinants of Qo
