Den ufærdige fremtid – aktionsforskningens potentialer og udfordringer
Get PDFI denne antologi undersøges nogle af multiple roller, etiske dilemmaer ogrelationer, der kan være i spil i aktionsforskning. Som kritisk projekt måaktionsforskningen videreudvikles for at kunne udfordre samfundets magtstrukturer og den dominerende diskurs og politik. Bogen er et bidrag tilet af aktionsforskningens kernekarakteristika “A shared commitmentto democratic social change”.Med titlen Den ufærdige fremtid – aktionsforskningens potentialer og udfordringer ønsker vi på én og samme tid at understrege aktionsforskningensgrundforståelse af, at fremtiden er ufærdig, og at aktionsforskningrummer potentialer som bidrag til demokratisk og bæredygtig udviklingaf samfundet
Bornholms Regionskommune 3.0
No full textBornholms Regionskommune vil gerne ændre deres tilgang til fællesskabet mellem kommunen og øens borgere til. Den nye fællesskabstilgang som kommunen gerne vil bruge ligger i tankerne bag kommunen 3.0. Afhandlingen går ind med ustrukturerede -og semistrukturerede interview og undersøger, hvordan fællesskabet mellem Bornholms Regionskommune og dens borgere fungere pt. Og hvad der skal til i fremtiden, hvis det skal lykkes for Bornholms Regionskommune, at blive en Bornholms regionskommune 3.0.”This is the municipality 3.0”, that was the respons from the chief executive of the municipality of Bornholm when responding to the article ”Be my guest” that introduces experience economy to the relation between the administrators and the citizens of the municipality. The chief executive was interested in the thought of fellowship and a more constructive dialogue between the municipality and its citizens which was what the article was suggesting. But what is a municipality 3.0? And what does the municipality of Bornholm need to live up to to become a municipality 3.0? These where the questions that appeared and generated the following problem. Problem descriptionHow does the region of Bornholm ensure a communicative fellowship with each citizen of Bornholm in relation to living up to the ambition of being a municipality 3.0?MethodThe methodological approach is influenced by a pre-understanding of how the systems of the municipality 3.0 and a local community co-exist. To handle the pre-understanding and use it proactively, hermeneutics will form the ontological frame of the thesis. The hermeneutics cover a wide variety of different traditions, theories, methods etc. These share two basic considerations: Understanding and interpretation come before explanation. The social phenomena and actors that are being studied are carriers of connections of meanings and opinions. It is these connections that are to be interpreted and laid out scientifically (Fuglsang 2004).The empirical approach will be made on the basis of Kvale’s (1997) seven stages of interview research.Theory There will be an introductory sub-chapter on the term ”fellowship”. Thereafter the following five categories will decide the selected theories: From five municipalities to one, Citizen service, Becoming digital, Voluntariness and Citizen panel.The categories emerged from the unstructured process of interviews (Glaser og Strauss 1967).ConclusionBornholm has possibilities of becoming a municipality 3.0 in the form of an engaged citizen panel and culture of voluntariness. However, factors such as economy, centralization and becoming digital challenge the feeling of fellowship among the citizens. Becoming digital offers possibilities in relation to netbased fellowships. However, establishing such fellowships demand a greater effort than the municipality has delivered so far. The thesis suggests that a transverse communication unit that works both internally and externally might develop the communication of the municipality in a direction that can develop the sense of fellowship between the municipality and its citizens and allow the municipality to approach being a municipality 3.0. The municipality needs to go ”all-in” if it wants to succeed in becoming a municipality 3.0. <br/
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
