No full textkatedra: KKV; přílohy: 14 prospektů, 1 dvd, 2 jehly; rozsah: 63The bachelor´ s thesis solved the problems of a machine-made hand stitch, which has become an integral part of industrial textile production. A broad area of the hand stitch application still remains at the finishing confection operations, repair operations, and adjustment of confection products. The bachelor´ s thesis is based on information obtained from literature, Internet, and personal knowledge when working with sewing machines, especially those made by the AMF Reece company. To achieve the objective of the bachelor´ s thesis, it was necessary to explain the history of the machine-made hand stitch, and to analyze the sewing technology offered on the market at the moment. The main objective of the bachelor´ s thesis consisted in labor-saving modifications of the AMF Reece sewing machine for machine-made hand stitch.Bakalářská práce řešila problematiku strojové tvorby ručního stehu, který se stal nedílnou součástí průmyslové textilní výroby. Velká oblast využití ručního stehu nadále zůstává při dokončovacích konfekčních pracích, při opravách a úpravě konfekčních výrobků. Bakalářská práce vycházela z informací, které byly získány z literatury, internetu a osobních poznatků při práci s šicími stroji především od firmy AMF Reece. Pro dosažení cíle bakalářské práce bylo nezbytné objasnit historii strojové tvorby ručního stehu a analyzovat šicí techniku aktuálně nabízenou na trhu. Hlavním cílem bakalářské práce byly racionalizační úpravy šicího stroje pro tvorbu ručního stehu firmy AMF Reece

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Young women's use of a microbicide surrogate: The complex influence of relationship characteristics and perceived male partners' evaluations
No full textThis is the post-print version of the article. The official published version can be found at the link below.Currently in clinical trials, vaginal microbicides are proposed as a female-initiated method of sexually transmitted infection prevention. Much of microbicide acceptability research has been conducted outside of the United States and frequently without consideration of the social interaction between sex partners, ignoring the complex gender and power structures often inherent in young women’s (heterosexual) relationships. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to build on existing microbicide research by exploring the role of male partners and relationship characteristics on young women’s use of a microbicide surrogate, an inert vaginal moisturizer (VM), in a large city in the United States. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with 40 young women (18–23 years old; 85% African American; 47.5% mothers) following use of the VM during coital events for a 4 week period. Overall, the results indicated that relationship dynamics and perceptions of male partners influenced VM evaluation. These two factors suggest that relationship context will need to be considered in the promotion of vaginal microbicides. The findings offer insights into how future acceptability and use of microbicides will be influenced by gendered power dynamics. The results also underscore the importance of incorporating men into microbicide promotion efforts while encouraging a dialogue that focuses attention on power inequities that can exist in heterosexual relationships. Detailed understanding of these issues is essential for successful microbicide acceptability, social marketing, education, and use.This study was funded by a grant from National Institutes of Health (NIHU19AI 31494) as well as research awards to the first author: Friends of the Kinsey Institute Research Grant Award, Indiana University’s School of HPER Graduate Student Grant-in-Aid of Research Award, William L.

Variations on the Author
No full text“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
