Variations on the Author
No full text“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
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Obstetrics and Gynecology Trainees Face Higher Musculoskeletal Demands than General Surgery Trainees in Simulated Laparoscopic Tasks—An Observational Study
No full textBackground/Objectives: Laparoscopic surgery has become the pre-eminent surgical approach for performing general surgical and gynecological operations, but it can lead to musculoskeletal disorder in surgeons. This study aimed to investigate the musculoskeletal demands of completing four core laparoscopic skills tasks amongst Obstetrics and Gynecology (O&G) and General Surgery (GS) trainees, recognizing that differences between specialties may create different ergonomic and muscular demands. Methods: Ten O&G and ten GS trainees both performed the same four tasks to evaluate their core laparoscopic skills whilst using electromyography (EMG) to assess the physical demand of each task in the trainee groups as a percent of maximum voluntary contraction. Results: O&G trainees had significantly higher muscle activity when completing a hand–eye coordination (HEC) task (167.9 ± 63.8 vs. 92.5 ± 31.3%, p = 0.019), bimanual coordination (BMC) task (205.6 ± 80.7 vs. 106.9 ± 47.0%, p = 0.017), and suturing (267.7 ± 121.6 vs. 122.2 ± 33.0%, p = 0.016) task in the right trapezius and deltoid muscle groups compared to GS trainees. No difference was observed between trainee groups in the laparoscopic camera navigation (LCN) task (p = 0.438). Conclusions: There appears to be increased muscular activity in O&G compared to GS trainees during the same simulated laparoscopic tasks. The findings should inform training policy around the optimization of ergonomics to minimize the risk of musculoskeletal disorder

Sanal organizasyonların ortaya çıkış nedenleri ve başarı koşulları
No full textSon yıllarda yaşanan hızlı değişim örgüt yapılarında ve yönetim anlayışında önemli değişikliklere yol açmıştır.Bu değişikliklerin başında müşteri isteklerine hızlı ve en doğru cevabı verme zorunluluğu olmuştur.İşte bu zorunluluk çeşitli organizasyon yapılarıyla birlikte bu tezin konusu olan Sanal Organizasyonların da ortaya çıkmasına yol açmıştır. Sanal organizasyonların ortaya çıkış nedenleri incelendiğinde bu nedenlerin;sanal organizasyonların pazara girişte ve müşteri ihtiyaçlarına cevap vermede sağladığı hız,projeye katılan kişi veya işletmelerin üyeliklerinin sabit olmamasının sağladığı esneklik,çekirdek yeteneklerin paylaşılması nedeniyle o proje için gerekli niteliklere sahip kişi veya işletmelerin projeye dahil edilmesi diğerlerinin çıkarılmasının sağladığı avantaj,her türlü finansal harcamaların paylaşılmasının avantajı,müşteriler için ürün üretmek yerine çözüm üretmenin sağladığı avantaj,değişik projelere değişik şirketlerin ve dolayısıyla değişik insanların ve fikirlerin girmesi ile daha yaratıcı fikirlerin üretilebilmesi ve tüm bunların gerçekleştirilebilmesinde bilişim teknolojisindeki gelişmelerin kolaylaştırıcı rolü olduğu görülmektedir. Sanal organizasyonların başarı koşulları araştırıldığında ise bu koşulların; İnsan Kaynağı Politikaları, Uygulama ve İş'te Eğitim, Elektronik İşbirliği ve İletişim Teknolojisi, Organizasyonel Kültür ve Ekip Üyeleri Yetenekleri olduğu görülür.ABSTRACT The quick change that exist recently has caused some important changes in organization structures and management understanding.The most important of the changes is to give a right and quick reply to the customer requests.This necessity has caused to exist various organization structures like virtual organizations which is the subject of this thesis. When the reasons of the existence of virtual organizations are examined, this reasons are seen as;virtual organizations' speed in order to supply answer to costumer requests and to enter the market,the flexibility which is supplied by the people or companies who join the project and whose membership is not constant, the advantage that is supplied by getting in the people or companies who have the qualifications that are needed for the project and getting out the others by the help of sharing the core competencies, the advantage of sharing each kind of financial spendings, the advantage of producing solution instead of producing product for the costumer, the possibility of producing more creative thoughts by the help of entering different companies and consequently different people and different thoughts to different projects and to be able to materialize all of these the facilitative role of developments in informatics tecnology is seen. When the success conditions of virtual organizations are researched this conditions are seen as; Human Source Politics, Practice and Training in Work, Electronic Cooperation and Communication Technology, Organizational Culture and Team Members' Capabilities
