Potter′s sequence: A story of the rare, rarer and the rarest
No full textPotter′s syndrome is a rare condition affecting one in 2000-5000. We present here two autopsy cases of Potter′s syndrome, with the rare finding of discoid adrenals and the even rarer finding of in situ neuroblastoma in one of the cases
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
Harry Potter\'s readers and readings
No full textHarry Potter, a série escrita pela britânica J.K. Rowling, é mundialmente famosa por ter quebrado vários recordes de venda: até o ano de 2017, os sete livros já haviam vendido mais de meio bilhão de exemplares mundo afora, criando uma extensa rede de leitores apaixonados pelas aventuras de Harry, Rony e Hermione. Em um primeiro momento, este trabalho tenta entender quais elementos da narrativa de Harry Potter contribuiriam para a geração de tamanha comoção. Ao dividir a obra em três blocos narrativos, analiso como foram construídos o espaço da narrativa (Hogwarts), a relação de amizade entre o trio principal de personagens, bem como o crescimento e amadurecimento do próprio Harry, tendo em vista os paradigmas da novela romanesca estudados por Frye e do romance de formação, segundo os estudos de Bakhtin, Lukács e Moretti. Realizo, ainda, uma pesquisa de campo com leitores empíricos da série com o objetivo de constatar se a minha leitura analítica justificaria o fato de Harry Potter ser uma obra literária de extrema relevância na vida de tantos leitores. Os resultados coletados mostram a reflexão que estes leitores fazem sobre o espaço da narrativa, sobre o trio de personagens principais e sobre a importância que a série teve em suas formações pessoais e em suas formações enquanto leitores. Por fim, debato a respeito dos elementos que fariam Harry Potter se perpetuar no tempo, além de apontar como a experiência e a memória afetiva que os leitores da série criam com ela são bastante relevantes para a construção do olhar crítico sobre o texto de Harry Potter.Harry Potter, the series of books written by J.K. Rowling, is worldwide famous for breaking several sales records: until 2017, the seven books have already sold five hundred million copies in the entire planet, creating a network of readers that love the adventures of Harry, Rony and Hermione. Firstly, this dissertation intends to understand which Harry Potter\'s narrative elements contributed to generate all this commotion. By splitting Rowling\'s work in three different narrative blocks, I analyze how the space of narrative (Hogwarts) was constructed, the friendship between the three main characters and Harry\'s growing and evolution, according to the romance paradigms studied by Frye and Bildungsroman, according to Bakhtin, Lukács and Moretti\'s studies. In addition, we did a field research with Harry Potter\'s empirical readers, aiming to note if my analytical reading would justify the fact that Harry Potter is an extremely important book in the lives of so many readers. The results that were collected show the observations that these readers do about the space of narrative, the three main characters and the importance that the series had on their personal formation and on their formation as readers. Finally, I debate about the elements that make Harry Potter endure on time, as well as to indicate how experience and affective memory are very important to build a critical approach on Harry Potter\'s text
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
