Art in the Age of Likeability: Nietzschean Perspectives
No full textContemporary performative art seems opposed to Nietzsche’s spiritual aristocracy because it promotes a democratisation and anarchisation of art through the involvement of the public as performer, as well as the creators’ identification with their artwork. Social media have gone a step further, by linking performances to an even stricter submission to the verdict of the public. However, art in the age of likeability also preserves distinctive Nietzschean features. In the end, whether a form of creativity is prone to nihilism or life-affirming rests entirely on the spiritual health or sickness of the creator
Psychological Issues in Education and Health. Proceedings of 1st Scientific Meeting University of Evora and University of Leipzig
No full textMental Health, Stress, Learning, Emotional Intelligence & Resilience are important topics of current clinical and pedagogical Research in many universities of the world.
In the frame of the collaboration agreement between the University of Evora (Portugal) and the University of Leipzig (Germany) in the field of Psychology, a group of Psychologists of both institutions and guests from the United States and Indonesia met in Evora on 13th May, 2016, in order to explain each other their current research interests and present results in the above mentioned topics of research. The goal was to exchange points of views on Psychology, science and society.
During this scientific meeting, several papers on the application of Psychology in the fields of education, public health, clinical disorders, child development and social issues were discussed. Thirteen of them have been selected to be part of the present volume, which contains the results of those fruitful discussions.
The main issues that are matter of concern in modern societies are here represented, like
• drug consumption,
• healthy habits of living,
• learning at school and at the university,
• depression,
• teachers health
• health in the retirement phase of life,
• personal resilience,
• stress in different populations and groups &
• citizenship and media.
All participants were aware of the existence of common mental health and education problems at an international level and of the important role of Psychology to make a contribution for the solution of those problems in the present world.
The aim of this volume is to give a glance on current developments of research on such topics in different countries (Portugal, USA, Indonesia, Sri Lanka & Germany).Universidade de Évora & Universidade de Leipzi
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
Psychological Issues in Education and Health.
No full textThe Department of Psychology of University of EƵvora, the Institute for Psychology of University of Leipzig
and University of Madeira organized jointly the IV Leipzig-Évora Scientific Meeting in Psychology | 1st
International Scientific Meeting in Psychology, with the purpose of consolidating academic and scientific
cooperation between institutions, fostering mutual knowledge of scholars, scientists and students,
broadening common scientific production and reinforcing institutional relations.
The meeting was a forum of scientific discussion and interchange of information on the current research
fields of the participants.
This volume contains the main contributions presented by scholars of Leipzig and Évora, as well as by
guests from the University of Madeira (Portugal), the University of Veracruz (Mexico), the National
Autonomous University of Mexico (Mexico), the West Saxony University of Applied Sciences (Germany),
the Arizona State University (EUA), and the Catholic University of Angola(Angola).
Papers on the application of Psychology in the fields of health, well-being, education, child development
and clinical were discussed. The main areas of research and application in modern Psychology are here
represented, like
· Stress management
· Attention of elderly persons
· Health and Well-being
· Psychological consequences of disasters
· Research on personality
· Learning at school and at the university
· Emotional development
· Familyinteractions
The aim of this volume is to inform other scientists on the current developments of research on
Psychology in our universities.UMA, UEVORA, ULEIPZI
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
