Behind the Iron Curtain: The Surprising Soviet Influence on Western Justice
No full textIn the shadow of the Cold War, as the world watched two superpowers locked in ideological combat, an unexpected legal revolution was quietly unfolding. While politicians and generals strategized over potential battlefields, Soviet legal innovations were stealthily crossing borders, reshaping Western justice systems in ways that would have been unimaginable to many at the time. John Quigley's “Soviet Legal Innovation and the Law of the Western World” unveils this hidden narrative, challenging our understanding of the 20th-century legal evolution and forcing us to reconsider the complex legacy of Soviet jurisprudence in the modern Western legal landscape.
Published in 2007, “Soviet Legal Innovation and the Law of the Western World” by John Quigley offers an interesting examination of the often-underestimated influence of Soviet legal concepts on Western law. Professor Quigley, a law professor at Ohio State University, challenges the commonly held beliefs concerning the relationship between Western and Soviet legal systems throughout the 20th century. The book's central premise is that contrary to popular belief, certain Soviet legal innovations gradually infiltrated Western legal systems, effecting significant and unexpected transformations. Quigley extensively examines this influence across various legal domains, including labor law, family law, human rights, women’s rights, international law, criminal justice, and economic rights. By examining the secret narrative of legal cross-fertilization, the author encourages readers to reevaluate their understanding of the 20th-century legal development and the complex legacy of Soviet jurisprudence within the modern Western legal framework. This book challenges our ideas regarding the Cold War era and provides an insightful investigation of the surprising ways in which legal systems can influence one another across ideological divides.Published versio
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
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
Pengaruh Temperatur Penguapan terhadap Kristalisasi Sukrosa
Get PDFPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari pengaruh temperatur penguapan terhadap kristalisasi sukrosa. Penelitian dilakukan dengan penguapan larutan jenuh pada variasi temperatur 60 0C, 65 0C, 70 0C, 75 0C, 80 0C dan pendinginan hingga suhu akhir 30 0C. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada temperatur penguapan 80 0C didapatkan pembentukan inti dengan jumlah yang lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan temperatur lebih kecil. Rendemen sukrosa tertinggi pada kristalisasi sukrosa adalah 31,87 % didapatkan dari penguapan larutan pada temperatur 80 0C
Strengthening ADR System in Indonesia: Learning from ADR Practices in Hungary
Get PDFIntegrating Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) into legal systems is essential for improving access to justice, decreasing litigation expenses, and promoting enforced outcomes. This article examines the ADR practices in Hungary, a country that has successfully integrated ADR into its legal system, to gain significant insights for Indonesia, as both countries share the same sociocultural practices for communal dispute resolution. This normative legal research examines Hungary's extensive legal framework, the roles of institutional support structures, and the enforcement of ADR awards. The study employs comparative analysis that systematically evaluates pertinent legal documents, institutional reports, and scholarly literature from Hungary and Indonesia. The study found fundamental factors that contribute to the effectiveness of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in Hungary including the existence of a clearly established legislative framework, sufficient institutional infrastructure, and effective regulation to enforce ADR decisions. Indonesia can adopt these techniques to improve its Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) system, resulting in more streamlined, cost-efficient, and fair processes for resolving disputes and to establish a more unified and efficient ADR system
