    De ruïnes van Kasteel Heers liggen in een kleine gemeente in de droge Haspengouw regio. De lokale economie is voornamelijk gebaseerd op landbouw, met name de teelt van fruitbomen zoals peren en appels. Hoewel Heers als een welvarende gemeente wordt beschouwd, heeft het momenteel te maken met een daling van de jonge bevolking. Tegelijkertijd wordt verwacht dat het aantal inwoners ouder dan 65 de komende jaren aanzienlijk zal toenemen, wat zowel economische als territoriale uitdagingen met zich meebrengt. Bovendien neemt het aantal actieve boeren gestaag af. Bovendien verliest Heers, zoals veel kleine gemeenten, geleidelijk zijn eigen identiteit door verschillende factoren. Daarom is het van cruciaal belang om de identiteit van Heers te versterken om ervoor te zorgen dat de essentie van Heers op lange termijn behouden blijft. Hoewel verdichting bepaalde voordelen met zich mee kan brengen, blijft het behoud en de integratie van de geschiedenis, het karakter en de ziel van de gemeente essentieel. Dit onderzoek heeft tot doel een nieuw model voor te stellen voor landelijke gebieden als landschappen die gevormd worden door zowel residentiële aanwezigheid als agrarische activiteit, waarbij de ruïnes van Kasteel Heers en de omliggende omgeving als katalysator worden gebruikt. Het project beoogt een gerevitaliseerde gemeenschap die de identiteit van Heers weerspiegelt, de landbouw als fundamenteel element reactiveert en nieuwe generaties aantrekt door de overdracht van voorouderlijke landbouwkennis te bevorderen

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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 PDF
    We 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 signaling pathways activated by ROR1 in cancer

    No full text
    The receptor tyrosine kinase orphan receptor 1 (ROR1) is a receptor for WNT5A and related Wnt proteins, that play an important role during embryonic development by regulating cell migration, cell polarity, neural patterning, and organogenesis. ROR1 exerts these functions by transducing signals from the Wnt secreted glycoproteins to the intracellular Wnt/PCP and Wnt/Ca++ pathways. Investigations in adult human cells, particularly cancer cells, have demonstrated that besides these two pathways, the WNT5A/ROR1 axis can activate a number of signaling pathways, including the PI3K/AKT, MAPK, NF-κB, STAT3, and Hippo pathways. Moreover, ROR1 is aberrantly expressed in cancer and was associated with tumor progression and poor survival by promoting cell proliferation, survival, invasion, epithelial to mesenchymal transition, and metastasis. Consequently, numerous therapeutic tools to target ROR1 are currently being evaluated in cancer patients. In this review, we will provide a detailed description of the signaling pathways regulated by ROR1 in cancer and their impact in tumor progression.Fil: Quezada, Maria Josefina.

    ¿Porqué contar la propia vida? ¿Para qué sirve? Señala De Gaulejac (2005) que a las personas les gusta hablar de ellas mismas, contar su propia vida. Incluso cuando ésta no es bella, tiene el sentimiento de decir cosas importantes. Muchas veces en esta búsqueda se juega una posición social, el intento de encontrar ancestros prestigiosos para revalorizarse uno mismo, ahora cada uno, incluso la "pequeña gente", se interesa en su historia. Esto nos remite a una vieja pregunta que los filósofos conocen muy bien: ¿De dónde vengo? ¿Quién soy? Hoy en día cada individuo debe luchar por tener un lugar social y poseer una existencia social e individual. Cada individuo es invitado a volverse autónomo, a producir su existencia. Quiere decir que la existencia social ya no está dada tanto por el grupo, como en la sociedad de otros tiempos, sino remitida a cada individuo que es invitado a construirse, a devenir él mismo. Pero ¿en qué consiste este proceso de construcción de sí mismo? ¿Qué quiere decir afirmar su identidad hasta producir su vida? Estas preguntas planteadas por la sociología clínica son claves para iniciar el análisis de un caso de maltrato escolar, a través del recorrido por momentos clave de su historia de vida.Por que contar a própria vida?

Inclusive quando esta última não é bela, têm o sentimento de dizer coisas importantes. Muitas vezes esta busca envolve uma posição social, a tentativa de encontrar ascendentes prestigiosos para valorizar a si mesmas. Todos, inclusive os jovens, têm interesse na sua história. Isto nos remete a antigas indagações, bem conhecidas pelos filósofos: De onde venho? Quem sou eu? Hoje em dia cada indivíduo deve lutar para obter uma posição social e ter uma existência social e individual. Cada indivíduo é convidado a se tornar autônomo e a produzir a sua existência. Assim, a existência social já não é dada tanto pelo grupo, como na sociedade de outrora, porém é dirigida a cada indivíduo, solicitado a construir-se a si mesmo. Entretanto, em que consiste este processo de construção de si mesmo? Que significa afirmar a sua identidade até "produzir" a sua vida? Estas indagações suscitadas pela sociologia clínica são estratégicas para iniciar a análise de um caso de maltrato escolar, por meio de momentos cruciais da história de vida.Why should we talk about our own lives? What is it useful for? De Gaulejac (2005) says that people enjoy talking about themselves, telling about their own lives. Even if it is not beautiful, they have the feeling to talk about relevant stuff. Many times during this quest, the social status plays an important role: the attempt to find prestigious ancestors to enhance themselves. Everyone, even young people are interested in their family stories. This leads us to philosophical questions: Where do I come from? Who am I? Nowadays, every individual must strive to achieve a social position and get a social and individual existence. Every individual is invited to become independent to 'produce' his/her existence. That means that the social existence is no longer given by the group as in societies in ancient times but by the individual invited to build and become himself. So, what is this process of building himself about? What does 'assert their identity until producing life' mean? These questions raised by the clinical sociology are keys to begin the school bullying analysis by crucial moments of someone's life story
