    Sobre el origen del Analitismo en la lengua vasca

    In this work doctors Yuri Vl. Zytsar (San Petersburg, Technique University) and Roberto Serrano (Zaraobe High school, Amurrio) propose a new way for understanding the Basque language’s “analitismo”, related to roman languages. In their opinion, this analytic character of Basque is previous to the analitismo which appears in the roman languages around Basque. The analytic character of Basque has also a very different nature. In a very documented work they propose a new way for Basque language’s analitismo and so on for roman language’s analitismo in western Europe as well. They try to make evident that apparent parallelism between these languages is not true.En el presente trabajo los doctores Yuri Vl. Zytsar (San Peterburgo, Universidad Técnica) y Roberto Serrano (Instituto Zaraobe, Amurrio) proponen un nuevo punto de vista con referencia al analitismo de la lengua vasca en su relación con las lenguas romances. En su opinión este carácter analítico del euskara es anterior al analitismo que aparece en las lenguas romances de su entorno, además de ser de una naturaleza totalmente diferente. En un trabajo muy documentado proponen un punto de vista nuevo para la cuestión del analitismo de la lengua vasca y, por extensión, el analitismo de las lenguas romances de Europa occidental, intentan demostrar la falsedad del aparente paralelismo existente entre estas lenguas.Eskuetan daukagun lan honetan Yuri Vl. Zytsar (San Peterburgo, Unibertsitate Teknikoa) eta Roberto Serrano (Zaraobe Institutua, Amurrio) doktoreek euskararen analitismoari buruzko ikuspuntu berria proposatzen dute, hizkuntza erromantzeen harreman estuan. Beraien iritziz, euskararen izaera analitikoa, guztiz desberdina izateaz gain, inguruko hizkuntza erromantzeetan agertzen den analitismoa baino lehenagokoa da. Lana oso dokumentatuta dago eta bertan euskararen analitismoaren problema, eta era berean Mendebaldeko Europako hizkuntza erromantzeena, ikuspuntu berriaz aztertzen dute eta haien artean egon litekeen paralelismoa egiazkoa ez dela agerian uzten saiatzen dira

    Implementation in Minimax Regret Equilibrium

    This note studies the problem of implementing social choice correspondences in environments where individuals have doubts about the rationality of their opponents. We postulate the concept of "-minimax regret as our solution concept and show that social choice correspondences that are Maskin monotonic and satisfy the no-veto power condition are implementable in "-minimax regret equilibrium for all " ? [0, 1).Implementation; minimax regret; Maskin monotonicity.

    The Measurement of Intellectual Influence: the Views of a Sceptic

    Full text link
    In an extremely interesting paper, Palacios-Huerta and Volij (2004) [PV] introduce the axiomatic method to the problem of how to rank academic journals on the basis of their mutual citations. They characterize the invariant method as the only one satisfying a list of five appealing properties. In this note, I show an impossibility result, by identifying a sixth property that is violated by the invariant method. Further, I question the appeal of the PV axioms, when applied over larger domains of problems that take into account making distinctions among types of citations.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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
