Nach der Weltwirtschaftskrise : Neuanfänge in der Region?
No full textDie Krise 2008/2009 hat gezeigt, wie stark vernetzt und anfällig die Weltwirtschaft ist. Die langjährige Finanzialisierung der Ökonomie hat zu einem dramatischen Verlauf geführt, der durch eine Verknüpfung von Immobilien-, Finanz- und Währungskrise, eine weltweite Streuung der Verluste, aber auch durch neuartige (supra-)staatliche Reaktionen geprägt war. In diesem Band werden räumlich unterschiedliche Verlaufsformen der Krise in einzelnen Sektoren und Regionen analysiert und Konzepte für ein neues Krisenverständnis in der Stadt- und Regionalforschung entworfen
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
Wirtschaftliches Maximum, völkisches Optimum: Raumwirtschaftstheorie und -politik bei Andreas Predöhl
Full text linkAndreas Predöhl (1893–1974) war ein am Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung Kiel, ausgebildeter
Wirtschaftswissenschaftler. Sozialdemokratisch orientiert und durch seine neoklassisch
basierte Raumwirtschaftstheorie ausgewiesen, galt er in der Weimarer Republik
als Hoffnungsträger einer theoretisch versierten Volkswirtschaftslehre. Nach dem
Machtwechsel richtete er seine Arbeit an den Zielen des Regimes aus. Von 1934 bis
1945 amtierte er als Direktor des Instituts für Weltwirtschaft und war an regionalwirtschaftlichen
Forschungsprojekten für eine Vielzahl von staatlichen Stellen beteiligt,
insbesondere für die wehrwirtschaftliche Planung im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Er entwarf
eine räumlich dimensionierte Entwicklungstheorie des Kapitalismus, die die Bildung
eines Großwirtschaftsraumes legitimierte. Nach 1945 reformulierte er dies als eine Theorie
regionaler Integration. In dem Beitrag wird die Umformung von einem rationaldeduktiven
zu einem historisch-soziologischen Theorieansatz nachgezeichnet.Andreas Predöhl (1893–1974) was a trained economist working at the Institute for
Economic Research in Kiel. Leaning politically towards the Social Democrats, and renowned
for his neo-classically based theory of spatial economy, he was regarded during
the Weimar Republic as the great hope of a theoretically underpinned science of
political economics. With the change of power, his work now took its orientation from
the goals of the new regime. From 1934 to 1945 he held the post of head of the Institute
for World Economy and was involved in a number of research projects on regional economics
for a host of state institutions; in particular he was involved in planning the
military economy during the Second World War. He was the author of a spatially dimensioned
theory of the development of capitalism, which legitimised the establishment
of a greater economic area. After 1945, he recast this theory as a theory of regional
integration. This paper traces the transformation of his theoretical approach from rational/deductive to historical/sociological
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
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
