Film-making in socio-culturally sensitive areas : lessons from the Bo-Kaap
No full textBibliography: leaves 22-24.The main issues around filming in the Bo-Kaap are the need for film crews to respect the area's cultural norms, and for the community to benefit from the inconvenience of hosting film shoots. Recommendations to mitigate costs and enhance benefits of filming, according to the principles of sustainability, include formulating location-specific filming conditions; encouraging local involvement in the film industry; developing a film permitting bylaw; formalising a Professional Code of Conduct for film crews; and establishing an environmental and cultural trust fund for donations from film companies
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
Environmental management of filming in the City of Cape Town : a baseline study report & a draft situation analysis
Get PDFThe City of Cape Town has become increasingly important as a venue for filming activities, particularly since the mid to late 1990s. The area is attractive to film companies because it offers a considerable diversity of locations (many of great natural beauty) within a small geographic area; favourable weather; the availability of sunny locations during northern hemisphere winters; good film crews; sound infrastructure and accommodation; and better production value given that the cost of filming in South Africa is still highly competitive by international standards. Cape Town's economy benefits significantly from the film industry, which was estimated as having spent close to R500 million in total expenditure over the last year (Yutar, 2001). This puts the film industry as second only to tourism in terms of income generation. The industry is growing rapidly: between October 2000 and the end of March 2001 there were 1 530 shoots, compared with 911 during the same period a year earlier (Yutar, 2001 ). Toe industry also promotes Cape Town - particularly as a tourist destination - through international media exposure. This encouraging financial news, however, has been offset for many locals by the inconvenience and disturbance caused by filming activities such as closed roads, and the threat to the tranquility and quality of life in Cape Town. The challenge for environmental management is to find ways to continue to attract film-making and its much-needed revenue to the area, without compromising Cape Town's unique natural and socio-cultural character. As part of the attempt to meet this challenge, the City of Cape Town Environmental Management Department has commissioned Yebo Environmental Services and Environmental Science Masters students from the University of Cape Town to conduct a Baseline Study and Situation Analysis of Environmental Management of Filming Activities in the City of Cape Town. Toe latter will include recommendations for future management. Toe Baseline Study Report aims to provide an overview of the current situation and identification of key issues to inform the Draft Situation Analysis, which will be presen1ed at a stakeholder workshop on 11 May 2001. The Baseline Study Report and the Draft Situation Analysis are intended as documents that are linked but also "stand-alone
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
