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
The Progress of the Formation of the Post-synodal Exhortation Amoris Laetitia – The Joy of Love with Regard to the Question of Admission to the Sacraments of Divorced and Civilly Remarried
No full textOvaj rad analizirao je crkvene dokumenate, teološke radove i službene nagovore koji su u bitnome utjecali na nastanak apostolske pobudnice Amoris laetitia. Premda sa nerazrješivost ženidbe ne dovodi u pitanje u Tradiciji Crkve, Origen i Bazilije priznaju praksu lokalnih Crkava koje su tolerirale drugu ženidbu za života prvog supružnika uz mogućnost pričesti u određenim okolnostima iako su svjesni da je to u suprotnosti sa Svetim pismom. Crkveni sabori ne dopuštaju drugu ženidbu za života supružnika, no sinode u Verberieu i Compiègneu od druge polovice 8. st. to dozvoljavaju u slučaju preljuba i nemoralnih radnji, uz poziv na apstinenciju i nedužnoj strani. Tridentski sabor (1563.) je potvrdio prethodne sabore (Lyion i Firenca) o tome da nije dozvoljeno u isto vrijeme imati više žena. Pravoslavne Crkve načelom oikonomije dopuštaju drugu ženidbu jer se razvod temelji na moralnoj a ne samo fizičkoj smrti bračne veze. Kardinal Walter Kasper predložio je za današnje vrijeme tumačenje Josepha Ratzingera glede pričesti rastavljenih i civilno vjenčanih koje je nadahnuto Bazilijevim stajalištem i čiji se opis uvjeta i okolnosti u bitnome nalazi u Amoris laetitia. Instrumentum laboris (2014.) izvještava da „među svećenstvom prevladava tendencija da se problem riješi jednostavnim udovoljavanjem zahtjevu za pristup sakramentima.“ Neki sinodski oci su se izjasnili za mogućnost pripuštanja sakramentima pod točno određenim uvjetima u Relatio synodi (2014.). Veritatis splendor u broju 81 kaže da „okolnosti ili nakane nikada neće moći jedan čin po svojem predmetu unutarnje nečastan pretvoriti u 'subjektivno' častan čin ili čin koji se može braniti kao izbor“, no primjer Kongregacije za nauk vjere u Deklaraciji o eutanaziji (1980.) govori za „narav ubojničkog čina koji je po sebi uvijek nedopustiv“ (što znači da je čin: u sebi zao ili intrinsece malum) da „zbog produljenih ili nepodnošljivih bolova, zbog motiva čuvstvenog reda ili zbog raznih drugih razloga (...) osobna odgovornost i može biti smanjena ili čak posve uklonjena“. Amoris laetitia u broju 302 kaže da „negativan sud o objektivnoj situaciji ne uključuje sud o ubrojivosti ili krivnji dotične osobe.“ Odgovor na pitanje dozvole pripuštanja sakramentima rastavljenih i ponovno civilno vjenčanih nije izrijekom naveden u glavnom tekstu Amoris laetitia, već papa Franjo u broju 305, govoreći onima „koji žive u 'neredovitim situacijama'“, kaže da „zbog uvjetovanosti i olakotnih čimbenika, moguće je da u objektivnoj situaciji grijeha – u kojoj ne postoji uopće ili dijelom subjektivna krivnja – osoba može“ primiti „pomoć Crkve“ koja je objašnjena u bilješci 351 kao „pomoć sakramenata“, gdje se još spominje „ispovjedaonica“ i „euharistija“.This thesis has analysed ecclesiastical documents, theological thesis and official lecture which had a big influence on the making of the apostolic exhortation Amoris laetitia. Even though the indissolubility of marriage is unquestionable in the Church's tradition, Origen and Basil accepted that local churches have tolerated a second marriage during the first spouse's lifetime with the possibility of communion under specific circumstances while being aware that it is opposed to the Holy Scripture. Church councils do not allow a second marriage during the first spouse's lifetime, but synods in Verberie and Compiègne have allowed it since the second half of the 8th century in case of infidelity and immoral acts with an appeal to abstinence of the innocent spouse. The Council of Trent (1563) approved of previous councils (Lyion and Florence) when it comes to not being allowed to have more wives at the same time. Orthodox churches allow a second marriage by the principle of oikonomia due to the fact that divorce is not only based on physical, but also on moral death of the union. Cardinal Walter Kasper proposed Joseph Ratzinger's interpretation regarding the communion of divorced and civilly married people which is inspired by Basil's point of view and whose description of the conditions and circumstances can be found in Amoris laetitia. Instrumentum laboris (2014) reports that ''the prevailing tendency among some of the clergy is to resolve the issue by simply complying with the request for access to the sacraments''. Some synod fathers spoke about the possibility of receiving sacraments under precisely specified circumstances in Relatio synodi (2014) which preceded Amoris laetitia. Veritatis splendor in number 81 states that ''circumstances or intentions can never transform an act intrinsically evil by virtue of its object into an act 'subjectively' good or defensible as a choice'', but the example of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Declaration on Euthanasia (1980) states that ''the nature of this act of killing, which will always be in itself something to be rejected'' (which means that the act is: in itself evil or intrinsece malum) and that ''by reason of prolonged and barely tolerable pain, for deeply personal or other reasons (...) the guilt of the individual may be reduced or completely absent''. Amoris laetitia in number 302 states that ''a negative judgment about an objective situation does not imply a judgment about the imputability or culpability of the person involved''. There are distinguishing mitigating circumstances regarding the second marriage between divorced people according to number 298 Amoris laetitia (a second union consolidated over time, with new children, proven fidelity, generous self giving, Christian commitment, a consciousness of its irregularity and of the great difficulty of going back without feeling in conscience that one would fall into new sins).
Amoris laetitia in number 300 issues a examination of conscience (The divorced and remarried should ask themselves: how did they act towards their children when the conjugal union entered into crisis; whether or not they made attempts at reconciliation; what has become of the abandoned party; what consequences the new relationship has on the rest of the family and the community of the faithful; and what example is being set for young people who are preparing for marriage.) Number 300 Amoris laetitia, which talks about the divorced and civilly married, states points of view in favour of avoiding double moral standard and the danger of misunderstanding in case of which every priest can arrange sacramental benefits: responsible personal and pastoral discernment of particular cases in order to recognise the level of responsibility which is different for each case because the consequences or the impacts of some rule do not always necessarily need to be the same. This is also the case with regard to sacramental discipline, since discernment can recognize that in a particular situation no grave fault exists (cf. Evangelii Gaudium, no. 44 and 47). Priests have the duty to accompany the divorced and remarried in helping them to understand their situation according to the teaching of the Church and the guidelines of the bishop because of the examination of conscience concerning the spouse and children from the sacramental marriage and new civil marriage. Observing and distinguishing while talking with the priest in foro interno helps them to become aware of their new state in front of God and to make the right judgement about obstacles to more complete involvement in the life of the Church. The answer to the question of divorced and civilly married people receiving sacraments is not clearly indicated in the main text Amoris laetitia, yet Pope Francis states that at number 305 by saying that ''because of forms of conditioning and mitigating factors, it is possible that in an objective situation of sin – which may not be subjectively culpable, or fully such – a person can'' receive ''the Church’s help'' which is explained in the note 351 as ''the help of the sacrament'' where ''the confessional'' and ''the Eucharist'' are also mentioned
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
