Radiopoetro - War and Medicine
The aim of war is to inflict death in the greatest number and permanent injury among enemy troops, while the aim of medicine is to regain physical and mental health, to maintain medical wellbeing and to prevent diseases and physical disability. Therefore, the aims of war and medicine are in conflict.
Paleinology is the science of war and peacewhich studies the causes of war and the conditions for peace and to search for means to realize those conditions, and for the necessary actions to prevent war and to promote peace.
At present war is highly mechanized due to the development of technology, and this in turn is brought abou tby the advance of science. The mechanization of war makes possible mass killing, not limited anymore to combatants but includes civilians and children as well, who are ignorant of the purpose of the war. Weapon technology grows rapidly because it is not hampered by economic considerations as is business, but it is forced by political conflictss.
Pure science changes human concepts concerning nature, himself and his fate. Applied science has greater influence and attracts wider attention, especially since it is applied to war. Thus, ethics has to follow closely the development of technology.
Key Words: war and medicine polemology - human aggression - recombinant DNA - medical ethic
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
