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

Mikroklimatski uvjeti su vrlo bitan element očuvanja ljudskog zdravlja i zadovoljstva na radnom mjestu. Drugim riječima, nepovoljni mikroklimatski uvjeti dovode do zdravstvenih problema koji rezultiraju narušavanjem zdravlja radnika i/ili pojave profesionalnih bolesti zbog čega nepovoljno utječu na radnu sposobnost te dovode do smanjenja učinkovitosti i proizvodnosti samog poduzeća. Mikroklimatski čimbenici se dijele na toplinske te kemijske i biološke. Budući je tema ovoga rada utjecaj toplinskih mikroklimatskih čimbenika na zdravlje radnika i radni okoliš, u radu su pobliže objašnjeni toplinski mikroklimatski čimbenici koji obuhvaćaju: temperaturu zraka, temperaturu zračenja plohe, brzinu strujanja zraka, vlažnost zraka i tlak zraka. Nadalje, opisani su uređaji i postupak mjerenja nabrojenih čimbenika te izrada procjene rizika. Također, definiran je pojam toplinske udobnosti, kao i faktori koji utječu na nju te su obrađeni mogući poremećaji u regulaciji temperature. Opisano je kojim indeksima se ocjenjuje djelovanje topline okoline na udobnost radnika te su navedene mjere zaštite od toplinskih mikroklimatskih čimbenika.

Microclimatic conditions are a very important element of preserving human health and satisfaction at the workplace. In other words, unfavorable microclimate conditions lead to health problems that result in the deterioration of workers' health and/or the appearance of occupational diseases, which adversely affect the ability to work and lead to a decrease in the efficiency and productivity of the company itself. Microclimatic factors are divided into thermal, chemical and biological factors. Since the topic of this paper is the influence of thermal microclimatic factors on the health of workers and the working environment, thermal microclimatic factors are explained in more detail in the paper, which include: air temperature, surface radiation temperature, air flow speed, air humidity and air pressure. Furthermore, the devices and the procedure for measuring the listed factors and creating a risk assessment are described. Also, the concept of thermal comfort is defined, as well as the factors that influence it, and possible disorders in temperature regulation are addressed. It is described which indices are used to assess the effect of ambient heat on worker comfort, and protection measures against thermal microclimate factors are listed.
For the satisfaction of workers at the workplace, their safety and the quality of work are very important, because only a satisfied worker can be an efficient worker

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
