Defining Good Governance
No full textGood governance is a widely debated concept that is interpreted in different ways across disciplines such as political science, economics, and public administration. From a praxeological perspective, which emphasizes human action and practical outcomes, good governance can be understood as the actions, decisions, and behaviours that promote efficient, effective, and ethical administration. This chapter aims to define good governance from a praxeological perspective, considering the practical implications of governance processes and outcomes
Sustainable Development
No full textThis chapter analyzes the implementation of the United Nations' 2015 SDGs and the obstacles encountered throughout their execution. The 17 SDGs provide a comprehensive framework for tackling and resolving crucial concerns such as gender parity, poverty, food insecurity, public health, education, and climate change. The main impediments to achieving these goals by 2025 are social conflicts, financial constraints, official apathy, and corruption. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the already strained global healthcare systems. Education is given priority as a crucial factor in promoting sustainable development, fostering critical thinking skills, preserving the environment, promoting sustainable ways of living, and encouraging active participation in society. The chapter promotes the incorporation of sustainable development principles into curriculum and highlights the importance of international collaboration in reducing the disparity between industrialized and developing nations
Corporate Governance and Sustainable Development
No full textCorporate governance has become one of the burning topics of our times. With the emergence of new markets, corporations are engaged in cutthroat competition in their quest for raw materials and natural resources for economic growth. Many of these natural resources are scarce, not renewable and depleted. The livelihood of humans and animals is in danger. Some species are on the brink of extinction; the ecological crisis is a reality. One of the main reasons for this scandal and catastrophe is the frantic race for profit. Corporations are under tremendous pressure to prioritise shareholders' values at the expense of other stakeholders' interests. Greedness and unethical behaviour are parts of corporate governance scandals that led to the financial crisis of 2008, global poverty, terrorism, etc. All these issues are real existential threats to present and future generations. Thus, strict regulation of corporate governance is essential for ethical reasons. Sustainable business and sustainable development are cru
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
