«Musikken er som en lyttende venn». En spørreskjemaundersøkelse om musikkbruk i utfordrende situasjoner og livsfaser.
No full textAbstract -
This study explores the experiences of a selection of people using music on their own, through situations and life stages normally considered as challenging, and how music is used as a coping resource. An online, anonymous questionnaire with 278 completed responses, provided the source of data. The survey consisted of both multiple choice and open-ended questions. It was mainly the latter, where the respondents could write their own answers, that laid the foundation of the presented theory. The results show that music is used by the respondents in many different parts of everyday life – even in challenging times. Half of the respondents reported that, in these times, the importance of music was found in factors different from when they usually listen to music. Music helped respondents become aware of their own emotions, offering the chance to both vent and regulate their emotions. Music also helped respondents feel they were not alone and gave them a feeling of being understood. Music provided an opportunity for relaxation and tranquility, yet could also provide joy, hope and motivation, as well as creating dreams. Similarly, music could also amplify any negative emotions. Music therapists have useful expertise about the influence of music, which may be applied to guide people in their use of music as a coping resource.

Datamaterialet ble innhentet via en nettbasert, anonym spørreskjemaundersøkelse med 278 gjennomførte besvarelser. I tillegg til spørsmål med forhåndsgitte svaralternativer, ble det benyttet åpne spørsmål der respondentene kunne svare med egne ord. Det er i hovedsak disse åpne besvarelsene som har dannet grunnlaget for teorien som blir presentert. Resultatene viser at respondentene benytter musikk i mange ulike deler av hverdagen – også i utfordrende perioder. For halvparten av respondentene var det andre faktorer i musikken som da ble viktige, sammenliknet med musikklytting ellers. Musikk hjalp respondenter å bli bevisst følelsene, få utløp for disse, samt regulere følelser. Musikk bidro også til en følelse av å ikke være alene og en opplevelse av å bli forstått. Musikk gav mulighet for avkobling og ro, og kunne også gi glede, håp motivasjon og skape drømmer. Men, musikk kunne også forsterke de vanskelige følelsene. Musikkterapeuter innehar nyttig kompetanse om musikkens påvirkningskraft og kan benyttes som veiledere rundt egen musikkbruk som en mestringsressurs.

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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
