Ze studiów nad Karolem Perthéesem
Full text linkIn relation to the research project focused on the work of Karol Perthées, the author examines three main issues. First, he supports the recently disputed claim that the cartographer was the illegitimate son of Herman Keyserling, a Russian diplomat from Courland, by exploring Perthées’s early life in this context. Next, he discusses how Perthées is depicted in select paintings by his father-in-law, Bernard Bellotti. Lastly, he analyses the descriptions of the Krakow diocese parishes preserved in fragments among Perthées’s cartographic sketches.W związku z zespołowym projektem badań nad działalnością Karola Perthéesa autor porusza trzy zagadnienia. Uzasadnia kwestionowany ostatnio pogląd, że kartograf był synem naturalnym Hermana Keyserlinga, rosyjskiego dyplomaty rodem z Kurlandii, omawiając w nawiązaniu do tego pierwsze ćwierćwiecze życia. Rozważa sprawę wizerunku Perthéesa na wybranych obrazach jego teścia Bernarda Bellotta. Na koniec analizuje plebańskie opisy parafii diecezji krakowskiej, które we fragmentach zachowały się wśród szkiców kartograficznych Perthéesa
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
Granica mazowiecko-litewska między Wizną a Grodnem z 1358 r. /The Mazovian-Lithuanian Border between Wizna and Grodno from 1358/
No full textThe document which makes the basis of the present article was issued in Grodno on August 14, 1358. The issuer was Kestutis, a Lithuanian duke, while the receiver was duke Siemovit III, who – as the Polish king Casimir the Great’s liege – ruled as the only duke in Mazovia. The document states that Kestutis made an agreement with Siemovit by virtue of which the border between the lands of Lithuania and Mazovia was established on the basis of what the representatives of both parties determined. In a 2000 edition of the document the publishers found the document forged. The examination of the original performed by experts in paleography showed that the document is authentic. The Kingdom of Poland concluded some kind of an agreement with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in 1356, the result of which was a longer period of peace between those countries. This helped regulate the controversial matters on the border between Mazovia (Wizna area and Goniądz district) and Lithuania (Grodno territory). That frontier territory was covered with woods, where permanent settlements were situated only on the outskirts, close to the rivers Narew and Biebrza from the side of Mazovia, and close to the river Niemen from the side of Lithuania. A lack of settlement was due to frequent invasions in the 14th century by Lithuanians and the Teutonic Knights, which order had their own state in Prussia. The Polish population, Mazovians, entered the woods from the west, while the Ruthenians approached from the east but before the border was established, the frontier was no man’s land in the political sense. The author of the present article does not agree with the thesis which predominated in the literature of the subject that until 1358 the Mazovian border with Lithuania had run about 12–15 km away from Grodno. Those were only the territorial claims of Mazovian dukes. The document emphasizes that both Lithuania and Mazovia recognized a need to determine the border and its course was established by their representatives (mediators), five from each side. The first map presents the whole border described in the document from 1358, while the second one shows the details of the final part of the border on the basis of the source from 1784. It is only the initial part between the rivers Ełk and Netta which did not come into life (in 1360 the Teutonic Knights occupied Rajgrod). The whole further section of the border proved to be the most lasting in that area. Since the end of the 14th century it was the inner border in Lithuania and when in 1569 the Sejm of the Lublin union joined Podlasie voivodeship to the Crown the 1358 border became established as a part of the Polish-Lithuanian border. It remained without any changes till the collapse of the Republic in 1795. This justifies the decision to use the method of retrogression to reconstruct the border. The section of the border seen in the second map was presented in the literature of the subject in a completely different way and this is the reason to show this map
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
