Pycha i pogarda - cnoty świata konsumpcji
Get PDFStolz (Dünkel) und Verachtung zählen seit Jahrhunderten zu den Lastern, laut Papst Gregor VI. ist Stolz die erste Kardinalsünde. In der Welt des Konsums unterliegen Werte und Tugenden weitreichenden Veränderungen aufgrund der Eigenart der Welt und der Unterordnung unter die Prinzipien von Wachstum und Profit. Was vor allem zählt, ist Geld. Die Welt des Konsums macht Stolz und Verachtung zu Tugenden, denn ein Mann, der stolz ist und andere verachtet, findet sich gut in einer Welt zurecht, in der es als etwas Gutes und als Zeichen des erreichten Erfolgs angesehen wird, sich durch ostentativen Konsum über andere zu erheben. Stolz und Verachtung, unterstützt durch Arroganz und eine narzisstische Herangehensweise an sich selbst, machen den Menschen zu einem idealen Konsumenten - anfällig für Einfluss, nicht resistent gegen Werbung, auf der Jagd nach dem nächsten "Must-Have" der Saison, ohne das der Konsument in der sozialen Hierarchie nicht hoch genug ist. In dem Artikel zeige ich, wie Stolz und Verachtung von Lastern zu Tugenden der Konsumwelt werden und welche Konsequenzen sie haben, wenn sie zu anerkannten Tugenden des Konsumerismus werden.Pride (conceit) and contempt for centuries have been classified as faults. For the pope Gregor VI pride is the first cardinal sin. In the world of consumption, values and virtues are subject to far-reaching changes due to the specificity of this world and the subordination of everything to the principles of growth and profit. What matters most is money. The world of consumption makes pride and contempt virtues, because a man who is proud and contemptuous is at home in a world where condescension through ostentatious consumption is considered something good and testifies to the success achieved. Pride and contempt, supported by arrogance and a narcissistic attitude towards oneself, make one an ideal consumer - susceptible to influence, not resistant to advertising, chasing the next "must-haves" of the season, without which the consumer is not high enough in the social hierarchy. In the article I show how pride and contempt are transformed from defects to the virtues of the world of consumption and what their consequences are once they become recognized as such. Pycha i pogarda od wieków zaliczane były od wad, papież Grzegorz VI uznał pychę za pierwszy grzech główny w moralności chrześcijańskiej. Warto na to zwrócić uwagę, ponieważ kolejne grzechy główne są według Grzegorza VI pochodnymi pychy. Gdyby nie pycha człowiek nie borykałby się z tyloma pokusami. Metaforycznie rzecz ujmując, pycha „otwiera” człowieka na inne grzechy, czyni go bezbronnym wobec różnych pokus. W świecie konsumpcji wartości i cnoty ulegają daleko idącym zmianom ze względu na specyfikę tego świata i podporządkowanie wszystkiego zasadom wzrostu i zysku. Liczy się przede wszystkim pieniądz. Świat konsumpcji pychę i pogardę czyni cnotami, ponieważ człowiek pyszny i pogardzający innymi świetnie odnajduje się w świecie, w którym wynoszenie się ponad innych poprzez ostentacyjne konsumowanie uznawane jest za coś dobrego i świadczy o osiągniętym sukcesie. Pycha i pogarda, wsparte butą i narcystycznym stosunkiem do siebie samego czynią z człowieka idealnego konsumenta – podatnego na wpływy, nieodpornego na reklamy, goniącego z kolejnymi „must have” sezonu, bez których konsument nie jest wystarczająco wysoko w hierarchii społecznej. W artykule pokazuję, odwołując się do wybranych stanowisk z historii filozofii, jak klasyczne wady moralne: pycha i pogarda stają się obecnie cnotami świata konsumpcji i jakie są ich skutki, gdy już stają się uznanymi cnotami konsumpcjonizmu

No full textGoing 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
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

No full textDispelling 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
MDCT of blunt renal trauma: imaging findings and therapeutic implications
No full textOBJECTIVES:
To show the wide spectrum of computed tomography (CT) findings in blunt renal trauma and to correlate them with consequent therapeutic implications.
METHODS:
This article is the result of a literature review and our personal experience in a level II trauma centre. Here we describe, discuss and illustrate the possible CT findings in blunt renal trauma, and we correlate them with the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) classification and their therapeutic implications.
RESULTS:
CT findings following blunt renal trauma can be grouped into 15 main categories, 12 of them directly correlated with the AAST classification and 3 of them not mentioned in it. Non-operative management, which includes the "watchful waiting" approach, endourological treatments and endovascular treatments, is nowadays widely adopted in blunt renal trauma, and surgery is limited to haemodynamically unstable patients and a minority of haemodynamically stable patients.
CONCLUSIONS:
The interpretation of CT findings in blunt renal trauma may be improved and made faster by the knowledge of their therapeutic consequences.
TEACHING POINTS:
• The majority of blunt renal injuries do not require surgical treatment. • CT findings in blunt renal injury must be evaluated considering their therapeutic consequences. • Some CT findings in blunt renal trauma are not included in the AAST classification
