Die betekenis van ds. Dirk Postma se bevordering van Christelike onderwys vir negentiende-eeuse Nederland en vir Suid-Afrika vandag
No full textThe Rev. Dirk Postma was not only the founder of the Reformed Church of South Africa (Gereformeerde Kerk), but also made significant contributions in the field of education. In this article the leading role he played with regard to the promotion of Christian education in the Netherlands (IH4H-1859) and in South Africa (1859-1890) is outlined. He was responsible for the establishment of the first Christian school in Zwolle and his dynamic involvement in education in South Africa had the result, among others, that the Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education came into being. His worthwhile activities in the sen’icc of Christian education are an example for present-day Christian educators in South Africa to tackle the educational problems which are rife at present and possibly to solve them in a like manner

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

Reducing analogue trauma symptoms by computerized reappraisal training-Considering a cognitive prophylaxis?
No full textBackground and objectivesDistressing intrusions are a hallmark of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Dysfunctional appraisal of these symptoms may exacerbate the disorder, and conversely may lead to further intrusive memories. This raises the intriguing possibility that learning to ‘reappraise’ potential symptoms more functionally may protect against such symptoms. Woud, Holmes, Postma, Dalgleish, and Mackintosh (2012) found that ‘reappraisal training’ when delivered after an analogue stressful event reduced later intrusive memories and other posttraumatic symptoms. The present study aimed to investigate whether reappraisal training administered before a stressful event is also beneficial.MethodsParticipants first received positive or negative reappraisal training (CBM-App training) using a series of scripted vignettes. Subsequently, participants were exposed to a film with traumatic content. Effects of the CBM-App training procedure were assessed via three distinct outcome measures, namely: (a) post-training appraisals of novel ambiguous vignettes, (b) change scores on the Post Traumatic Cognitions Inventory (PTCI), and (c) intrusive symptom diary.ResultsCBM-App training successfully induced training-congruent appraisal styles. Moreover, those trained positively reported less distress arising from their intrusive memories of the trauma film during the subsequent week than those trained negatively. However, the induced appraisal bias only partly affected PTCI scores.LimitationsParticipants used their own negative event as a reference for the PTCI assessments. The events may have differed regarding their emotional impact. There was no control group.ConclusionsCBM-App training has also some beneficial effects when applied before a stressful event and may serve as a cognitive prophylaxis against trauma-related symptomatology

Ferdinand Postma : ’n Herinnering*
No full textOnder hierdie drie woorde wil ek saamvat hoc professor Postma in sy huis en in die publiek opgetree het. Ek kan baie dinge wat hy gedoen het goed onthou. Sommige is kleiner dingetjies, maar wat tog tiperend is van ’n per- soon wat vastigheid onder eie voete gehad het en dit beklemtoon het as eis vir die lewe. Hierdie drie woorde het hy gebruik by ’n geleentheid toe hy gelukwense gerig het aan huwelikspaartjies, en onmiddellik lees u daarin nie die ligsinnigheid en fleurigheid wat soms grapmakenderwys in sulke omstan- dighede geuiter word nie. Die huwelik is ’n begin van ’n nuwe lewe en sy kenmerke moet wees: tydhou, koershou en aanhou
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

Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
