Evaluation of information system with special concern in effectiveness
No full textThe goal of this thesis is to work up an overview about problematic relating to evaluation of use and effectiveness of IS/IT in organization. The accent in analyzing and evaluating is placed on soft metrics of IS/IT and its character. Author creates a task to specify and make clear why to evaluate IS/IT and which utility such evaluation brings. Other goal is to explain possible approaches of evaluating and the differences between them. The thesis is divided into two logical parts. First part contains theoretical base focused on soft metrics of measuring IS/IT. The second part is focused on describing practical measurement of IS/IT in organization. For full description of given area, author presents important aspects of public sector and significant law restrictions. This thesis presents one of the possible approaches to evaluate IS/IT in organization. Its benefit lies in connecting theoretical base with practical example, which author considers "best practice" in area of elaborated problematic
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
Support of BPMN Standard on OpenPonk Platform
No full textJedním z problémů při kreslení procesních diagramů je, že autor špatně spojí nebo chybně využije elementy. Tím způsobí nejasnosti a další práce s tímto diagramem ho může přivést ke špatnému výsledku. Tento problém se snaží vyřešit tato práce. Literární rešerše se zabývá analýzou využití procesních diagramů při řízení podniku. Analýzou nastroje, který umožňuje kreslit takové diagramy. Dále analyzuje pravidla, pomoci kterých se nakreslené diagramy dají verifikovat. Praktická část navázána na implementaci modulu pro platformu OpenPonk, který umožňuje kreslit procesní diagramy a ověřovat jejich správnost.One of the problems in drawing process diagrams is that the author mistakenly combines or mistakes the elements. This causes confusion and further work with this diagram can lead to a poor result. The problem is trying to solve this problem. Literary research deals with the analysis of the use of process diagrams in company management. An analysis of tools that allows you to draw such diagrams. It also analyzes the rules that can be used to verify the diagrams dialed. The practical part followed the implementation of the OpenPonk module, which allows you to draw and verify the process diagrams
Mobile Enterprise Architecture Process Analytic Tool Based on the DEMO Methodology
Get PDFPráce se zabývá problematikou vizualizace podnikových procesů v reálném čase a následné zpracování nasbíraných dat do grafických přehledů. Hlavním témeatem je zaměření se na metodiku DEMO, která přináší jiný způsob a také pohled na modelování podnikových procesů. Cílem práce je navrhnout přístup vizualizace procesů modelovaných metodikou DEMO. Kromě vizualizace je cílem vytvořit mobilní aplikaci formou proof-of-concept, která obsahuje navrhované přístupy a také vizualizaci nasbíraných dat do různých grafických přehledů, které mohou pomoci lépe řídit podnik. Práce je zaměřena více teoreticky, kde autor řeší různé přístupy vizualizací. K ověření navrhovaných přístupů je vytvořena mobilní aplikace, která demonstruje vizualizaci na modelových příkladech.Thesis is focused on business process visualisation in real-time and processing collected data and displaying them within graphical overviews. Main focus is on DEMO methodology in the thesis, which brings another approach how business process modelling can be done. Goal of thesis is to propose a way how process visualisation through DEMO can be done. Besides visualisation, second goal is to create mobile application in form of proof-of-concept, which contains proposed approaches and visualisation of collected data within various graphical overviews. This can help people to lead better their business. Thesis is more theoretical, author is focused on propose various visualisation approaches. The simple mobile application is implemented to verify proposed approach, where visualisation is demonstrated on model examples
