Working towards an international consensus on criteria for assessing Internet Gaming Disorder: a critical commentary on Petry et al. (2014)
No full textThis commentary paper critically discusses the recent debate paper by Petry et al. (2014) that argued there was now an international consensus for assessing Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD). Our collective opinions vary considerably regarding many different aspects of online gaming. However, we contend that the paper by Petry and colleagues does not provide a true and representative international community of researchers in this area. This paper critically discusses and provides commentary on (i) the representativeness of the international group that wrote the 'consensus' paper, and (ii) each of the IGD criteria. The paper also includes a brief discussion on initiatives that could be taken to move the field towards consensus. It is hoped that this paper will foster debate in the IGD field and lead to improved theory, better methodologically designed studies, and more robust empirical evidence as regards problematic gaming and its psychosocial consequences and impact
A dignidade do adolescente autor de ato infracional: o poder judiciário como instrumento de efetivação
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Jurídicas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito, Florianópolis, 2009.Esta dissertação de mestrado tem como objeto o estudo da dignidade do adolescente autor de ato infracional e o Poder Judiciário como instrumento de efetivação. A opção pela análise e correlação dos temas Poder Judiciário, princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana e adolescente autor de ato infracional deve-se, primeiramente, ao fato de estarem intimamente ligados frente a uma efetiva concretização do Estado Democrático de Direito disposto na Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil de 1988. E, em segundo lugar, por tais temas serem comumente representados mais pelas omissões, ou pelo senso comum, do que por debates e estudos que realmente contribuam, daí a preocupação de romper com uma herança jurídica tradicional. Para se chegar às conclusões, partiu-se da análise do histórico e considerações conceituais da dignidade da pessoa humana, bem como o estudo de sua trajetória nas Cartas Constitucionais brasileiras até a Constituição vigente. Em seguida, examinou-se o escorço histórico e os conceitos das medidas sócio-educativas e do ato infracional no Direito brasileiro para então, ao término do trabalho, se verificar o papel do Poder Judiciário como instrumento de efetivação do princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana em relação ao adolescente autor de ato infracional, dando-se ênfase à realidade do Estado de Santa Catarina.This master dissertation aims to study the teenager in conflict with law dignity and the Judiciary as an warranter. The choice of analysing and relating the Judiciary, Human Dignity legal principle and adolescent author of breaking laws derives, first, from the fact of being closely linked to each other in view of an effective accomplishment of the Constitutional Democratic State established in the Federal Constitution of 1988. In second place, because these subjects are more usually represented for omissions or for common sense than for debates and studies that really contribute, reason of the concern for breaching a traditional judicial heritage. To reach the conclusions, we started by analysing the historic outline and considerations about the concept of Human Dignity and, as well, studying its path through brazilian Constitutions until the current one. After, the historic outline and concepts of socio-educational measures were analysed, besides the offensive acts in brazilian law. Bringing the job to completion, we verified the role played by the Judiciary as an instrument to achieve the Human Dignity legal principle, towards the teenager in conflict with law, giving emphasis on the reality in Santa Catarina

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
Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?
No full textIn this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
