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
Lepiej funkcjonuję, gdy się ze mną komunikujesz! – terapia logopedyczna z dziećmi niemówiącymi
Get PDFThe disabled children who are unable to speak need motivation to communicate. Speech therapy should be an extraordinary meeting for a child, which will be important for him/her, and to which he/she wants to come back. Boguslawa Beata Kaczmarek rightly states that „creating opportunities for communication to people who, because of various disorders, are unable to operate verbal communication, is a huge challenge, requiring application not of the only one, the traditional approach to speech therapy, but courageous searching for new forms that will give effective improvement in communication of speech impaired people”.The purposes of the following article are :• presentation of the arguments for the implementation and practical application of AAC systems in working with children with speech impairment,• presentation of techniques of introducing methods of AAC in daily speech therapy of children with speech impairment,• presentation of the literature on AAC along with the names of web pages as well as of the ways of specific help that can be applied in everyday work.Dzieci niepełnosprawne z upośledzoną funkcją mówienia potrzebują motywacji do tego, by się komunikować. Terapia logopedyczna ma być dla dziecka niezwykłym spotkaniem, które będzie dla niego ważne i do którego będzie chciało wracać. Bogusława Beata Kaczmarek słusznie twierdzi, iż „stworzenie możliwości porozumiewania się osobom, które z racji różnych zaburzeń nie są w stanie posługiwać się mową werbalną, jest wielkim wyzwaniem wymagającym zastosowania nie tylko jednego, tradycyjnego podejścia logopedycznego, ale odważnych poszukiwań nowych form niosących skuteczną poprawę komunikacji osobom niemówiącym”32.Celami zaprezentowanego artykułu są:• przedstawienie argumentów przemawiających za wprowadzeniem i praktycznym stosowaniem systemów AAC w pracy z dziećmi niemówiącymi,• prezentacja technik wprowadzania metod AAC w codzienną pracę logopedyczną z dziećmi niemówiącymi, • zaprezentowanie literatury dotyczącej AAC wraz z nazwami stron internetowych, konkretnych pomocy, które można zastosować w codziennej pracy
Proaktywne i reaktywne strategie radzenia sobie z trudnymi zachowaniami u dzieci ze spektrum autyzmu. Studium przypadku
Get PDFThe article presents a portion of therapeutic work with difficult be-haviors in students with autism spectrum disorders. The author’s work in this area was inspired by several publications by authors dealing with the subject of autism, such as G. LaVigna and his Positive Behaviour Support model for chil-dren with developmental disorders, including children with autism; Z. Grun-towski and his six-step problem-solving process for dealing with difficult be-haviors; H. Olechnowicz and her reflective approach to therapeutic work with individuals with autism. An important feature of this paper is that it highlights the importance of under-standing the contexts in which autistic persons exhibit difficult behaviors and the feasibility of applying a positive support plan based on proactive and reac-tive strategies. The author of the article believes that self-reflection, continuous learning and creating functional solutions are prerequisites for anyone willing to undertake effective therapeutic work with people with autism.W przedstawionym artykule zaprezentowano fragment pracy tera-peutycznej na temat trudnych zachowań u ucznia z zaburzeniami ze spektrum autyzmu. Inspiracją do podjęcia działań w tym zakresie stała się lektura publi-kacji autorów zajmujących się tematyką autyzmu, m.in. Gary’ego De LaVigna, twórcy Pozytywnego Modelu Wsparcia dla dzieci z zaburzeniami w rozwoju, w tym dla dzieci z autyzmem; Zygmunta Gruntowskiego, który zaproponował sześciokrokowy proces rozwiązywania problemów związanych z trudnymi za-chowaniami; Hanny Olechnowicz, twórczyni refleksyjnego podejścia do pracy terapeutycznej z osobami z autyzmem. Ważnym aspektem w prezentowanym artykule jest zwrócenie uwagi na znaczenie i zrozumienie kontekstów pojawiających się trudnych zachowań prezentowanych przez osoby z autyzmem oraz możliwości zastosowania pozytywnego Planu Wspar-cia opartego na strategiach proaktywnych i reaktywnych. Według autora niniejsze-go artykułu niezbędnym krokiem w podjęciu pracy terapeutycznej jest autorefleksja oraz nieustanne uczenie się i tworzenie funkcjonalnych rozwiązań, które pomagają przetrwać i ułatwiają zarówno życie, jak i pracę z osobami z autyzmem
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
