Going 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
Dispelling 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
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
"Indossare" i tatuaggi: studio del tatuaggio nell'Antico Egitto sui resti umani, archeologici e iconografici.
No full textIl presente elaborato di tesi affronta il tema della pratica del tatuaggio nell’Antico Egitto e, sotto l’aspetto strutturale, si compone di tre grandi sezioni, due cataloghi e cinque capitoli. La prima parte illustra l’argomento da un punto di vista più generico, in relazione alle civiltà al di fuori dell’Egitto. La seconda parte è dedicata allo studio della tradizione del tatuaggio in Egitto da un punto di vista storico-evolutivo dei dati archeologici, tracciando i punti salienti che hanno contribuito a ricomporre il suo percorso mutevole nel corso dei secoli e la sua possibile origine, cui seguono un breve studio etimologico della parola mtnw, termine con cui si potrebbe configurare la parola antico-egiziana relativa ai tatuaggi. All’interno di questa seconda sezione, sono stati redatti anche due cataloghi: nel primo si affronta la descrizione e l’analisi di tutti quegli oggetti e dei vari supporti che esibiscono segni e simboli riconducibili ai tatuaggi nelle sue molteplici forme; nel secondo, invece, lo studio di tutti i resti mummificati rinvenuti in Egitto che presentano i tatuaggi sul corpo, e tratta, con particolare enfasi, gli aspetti concernenti gli studi antropologici. Infine, a chiusura del lavoro, nella terza e ultima parte, si traggono le conclusioni e le interpretazioni legate alle funzioni del tatuaggio nell’Antico Egitto, deducibili dalle indagini sopracitate. I dati delle testimonianze indirette e dirette raccolti precedentemente nei due cataloghi, inoltre, sono stati elaborati in maniera più schematica nell’Appendice I a fine della dissertazione. Invece, i dati sommari relativi alle funzioni del tatuaggio trovano spazio nell’Appendice II.
This thesis deals with the practice of tattooing in ancient Egypt and consists from a structural point of view of three major sections, two catalogues and five chapters. The first part illustrates the topic from a more general perspective, in relation to civilizations outside Egypt. The second part is dedicated to the diachronic study of the tradition of tattooing in Egypt through archaeological data, tracing the main points that have helped to recompose the path that has changed over the centuries and the possible origin of tattooing. This historical section is followed by a brief etymological study of the word mtnw, probably the ancient Egyptian word for tattooing. In this second section, two catalogues have also been compiled: the first deals with the description and analysis of all those objects and various supports that bear signs and symbols that can be traced back to tattoos in their various forms; the second, on the other hand, deals with the study of all mummified remains found in Egypt that represent tattoos on the body, with particular emphasis on aspects that concern anthropological studies. Finally, the third and final part draws conclusions and interpretations on the functions of tattoos in ancient Egypt on basis of the above-mentioned investigations. Moreover, the data of the indirect and direct testimonies previously collected in the two catalogues have been elaborated in a schematic way in Appendix I at the end of the thesis; while Appendix II contains summarized data on the functions of tattooing

Communication needs and speech disorders: the use of Augmentative Communication Alternative at school age
No full textopenAbstract
Questa tesi vuole mettere in luce il lavoro didattico e linguistico che svolgo da anni a scuola e nei domicili privati dei bambini che seguo, con passione e dedizione.
Penso che la scuola e noi futuri insegnanti abbiamo il dovere di indagare ed aiutare i nostri alunni che hanno più difficoltà ad esprimersi e a farsi capire.
L’uso dei segni, della Comunicazione Aumentativa Alternativa (CAA), delle immagini, dei simboli, della gestualità, può giovare ed aumentare le capacità comunicative ed espressive di soggetti con disturbi del linguaggio.
Partendo dalle teorie legate alla nascita ed allo sviluppo delle CAA nel primo capitolo di questa tesi, passeremo al lavoro in team multifunzionale al linguaggio, presentando il caso di una bambina che seguo da circa 8 anni e che ora comunica vocalmente ed è felice ed inclusa.
L’utilizzo di strumenti compensativi comunicativi, ha portato infine nel tempo ad uno sviluppo delle principali aree linguistiche che riporterò attraverso dati, grafici e tabelle nel capitolo 2.
Nel capitolo 3 si affronteranno le fasi dello sviluppo tipico legato all’acquisizione del linguaggio, paragonandolo al nostro lavoro di equipe ed alle competenze dell’alunna nel tempo, questa tesi verte ad analizzare le similitudini ed i possibili miglioramenti futuri.
Le osservazioni finali dell’intervento e quindi di questo scritto potranno essere utili non solo alla scuola ed ai futuri interventi didattici e linguistici per soggetti scolari con disturbi del linguaggio specifici, ma anche per possibili future ricerche in ambito di Linguistica nell’ambito di riabilitazione linguistica.
Concluderò il mio lavoro con una panoramica rispetto allo sviluppo globale delle competenze di linguaggio della bambina negli ambiti fonetico fonologici, sintattici, morfologici e pragmatici.Abstract
This thesis aims to highlight the teaching and linguistic work I have been doing for years at school and in the private homes of the children I follow, with passion and dedication.
I think that the school and we future teachers have a duty to investigate and help our pupils who have more difficulty in expressing themselves and making themselves understood.
The use of signs, Alternative Augmentative Communication (CAA), images, symbols, gestures, can benefit and increase the communicative and expressive skills of subjects with language disorders.
Starting from the theories related to the birth and development of the CAA in the first chapter of this thesis, we will move to work in multifunctional team to language, presenting the case of a child who I have been following for about 8 years and who now communicates vocally and is happy and included.
The use of communication compensatory tools, finally led over time to a development of the main linguistic areas that I will report through data, graphs and tables in chapter 2.
In Chapter 3 we will address the phases of typical development related to the acquisition of language, comparing it to our team work and the skills of the student over time, this thesis focuses on analyzing similarities and possible future improvements.
The final observations of the intervention and therefore of this paper may be useful not only to the school and to future teaching and linguistic interventions for school subjects with specific language disorders, but also for possible future research in the field of Linguistics in the field of linguistic rehabilitation.
I will conclude my work with an overview of the overall development of the child’s language skills in phonological, syntactic, morphological and pragmatic phonetics
