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
Smuteční síň Roudnice nad Labem
Full text linkPráce se zabývá územím navazující na městský hřbitov Roudnicenad Labem a na Nový židovský hřbitov.Snaží se využít potenciál místa a navázat na stávající okolí hřbitovůa doplnit tak scházející pomyslný blok mezi nimi. Návrh obsahujeanalýzu místa s výhledy na přírodní dominanty a architektonickéřešení nově navržené stavby smuteční síně a jejího provozu. Záměrem je také návrh parkových zahrad, které napomáhají propojitokolí a návaznost na stávající hřbitovy.The work deals with the area adjacent to the town cemetery in Roudnicenad Labem and the New Jewish Cemetery.It seeks to exploit the potential of the site and build on the existing surroundings of the cemeteries and to complete the missing imaginary block between them.The proposal includesan analysis of the site with views of natural landmarks and architecturaldesign of the newly proposed funeral parlour building and its operation. Intent is also the design of park gardens that help to connectthe surrounding area and the continuity with the existing cemeteries.
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
Conversion of Andělka Power Plant
No full textDiplomová práce se zabývá konverzí bývalé parní elektrárny v Andělské Hoře u Chrastavy na auto-moto muzeum a nové rekreační a naučné středisko. Cílem je vystavit celoživotní sbírku historických vozidel bratrů Nejedlých, zpřístupnit ji veřejnosti a podpořit její další rozvoj a edukativní potenciál.
Projekt nevychází z konkrétního zadání, ale z vlastního zájmu o tuto tématiku.
Řešené území se nachází v severních Čechách, přibližně 6 km severozápadně od Liberce.
Přespolní elektrárna v Andělské Hoře, nebo také Elektrárna Andělka, vstoupila do provozu v roce 1914, objekt je tvořen z rozvodny, strojovny a kotelny č.I. a V roce 1923 byla rozšířena v severní části o kotelnu č.2. a věž.
V roce 1966 byla elektrárna zastavena a sloužila několik let jako teplárna. Dnes slouží jako skladiště.
Hlavním tématem je rozdělení stávající budovy parní elektrárny do několika nových funkčních celků, které zajistí budoucí udržitelnost a životaschopnost této historické industriální stavby. V rámci krajinných úprav bude navržena revitalizace venkovního volného prostoru pro pořádání akcí pro veřejnost případně pro dočasné ubytování (kemp), venkovní výstava veteránů a akce s nimi spojené a konverze podružných staveb areálu bývalé elektrárny na depozitář vozidel a zázemí kempu.
Ve stávajícím objektu budou navrženy prostory pro tyto funkce:
1. Renovační dílny (lakovna, sklad materiálů, servis a renovace historických vozidel, karosářské práce)
2. Kanceláře a multifunkční prostory pro besedy, workshopy a vzdělávání.
3. Muzeum (expozice motocyklů, pohonů, letectví, vojenská a civilní expozice).
4. Digital detox retreat.
5. Vestavba jednoduchého ubytování pro majitele elektrárny.
6. Gastronomický provozThe diploma thesis deals with the conversion of the former steam power plant in Andělská Hora near Chrastava into an auto-moto museum and a new recreational and educational centre. The aim is to exhibit the lifetime collection of historical vehicles of the Nejedlý brothers, to make it accessible to the public and to support its further development and educational potential.
The project is not based on a specific brief, but on our own interest in the subject.
The area in question is located in northern Bohemia, approximately 6 km northwest of Liberec.
The power station in Andělská Hora, or also the Andělka Power Station, came into operation in 1914, the building consists of a substation, engine room and boiler room No. I. In 1923 it was extended in the northern part by boiler room No. 2 and a tower.
In 1966, the plant was shut down and served as a heating plant for several years. Today it serves as a warehouse.
The main theme is the division of the existing steam plant building into several new functional units that will ensure the future sustainability and viability of this historic industrial structure. The landscaping will propose the revitalisation of the outdoor open space for public events or temporary accommodation (camping), an outdoor vintage car exhibition and associated events and the conversion of the ancillary buildings on the former power station site into a vehicle depository and camping facilities.
Space will be designed in the existing building for these functions:
1. renovation workshops (paint shop, materials storage, servicing and renovation of historic vehicles, body work)
2. offices and multifunctional spaces for meetings, workshops and education.
3. Museum (motorcycles, drives, aviation, military and civil exhibitions).
4. Digital detox retreat.
5. Building simple accommodation for the owner of the power station.
6. restaurant

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
