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
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
Mining regulation in the Republic of Slovenia
No full textRudarstvo pogojuje gospodarski in civilizacijski napredek družb in držav, saj se mineralne surovine uporabljajo za zadovoljevanje naših najrazličnejših potreb, na primer kot energetski vir, v gradbeništvu, avtomobilski industriji in elektroindustriji. Pandemija COVID-19 je pokazala našo ranljivost v globaliziranem svetu, v katerem smo odvisni od zunanje oskrbe s pomembnimi mineralnimi surovinami.
Slovenska pravna ureditev na področju rudarstva mora biti ne samo ekonomsko učinkovita, temveč mora zasledovati tudi cilj varstva okolja. Avtorica v magistrskem diplomskem delu predstavi pomanjkljivosti slovenske rudarske ureditve v zvezi s podaljševanjem koncesijskih pogodb, pravno naravo Državne rudarske strategije, denacionalizacijskimi postopki, stečajnimi postopki, nezakonitimi rudarskimi deli in hidravličnim lomljenjem. Avtorica predstavi tudi možne rešitve, pri čemer primerja slovensko ureditev z avstrijsko in hrvaško ureditvijo.The mining of mineral resources is the prerequisite to economic growth and to the progression of societies and countries. We use mineral resources to satisfy many of our needs. For example, mineral resources are being used as an energy source, they are also used in construction, the automobile industry, and the electric industry. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed our vulnerability being dependent on the external supply of important mineral resources in this globalized world.
The Slovenian legislation should be not only economically effective but should also pursue the goal of protecting the environment. In this thesis, the author outlines the shortcomings of the Slovenian legislation in relation to the extension of concession contracts, the legal nature of the National Mining Strategy, the bankruptcy processes, illegal mining operations, and hydraulic fracturing. The author also outlines possible solutions to these problems, comparing the Slovenian legislation with the Austrian and the Croatian legislation
Position of agencies as regulators
No full textV magistrskem diplomskem delu z naslovom Položaj agencij kot regulatorjev je prikazana zgodovina agencij ter proces agencifikacije kot prenos pristojnosti iz države na neodvisne regulatorje. Sam razvoj agencij je povezan tudi s pojavom regulativne države, ki je nadomestila intervencijsko državo. V Sloveniji področje javnih agencij ureja Zakon o javnih agencijah, ki le-te uvršča med osebe javnega prava za opravljanje regulatornih, razvojnih ali strokovnih nalog v javnem interesu. Javne agencije so pri opravljanju svojih nalog samostojne in neodvisne od trenutne politike, ponujajo pa visoko stopnjo strokovnosti, legitimnosti pri sprejemanju odločitev in usmerjenosti k uporabnikom na posameznem področju. Avtorica se v nadaljevanju magistrskega diplomskega dela osredotoči predvsem na regulatorno nalogo javnih agencij v Sloveniji, na podlagi katere agencija s podeljenim javnim pooblastilom izdaja splošne akte za izvrševanje javnih pooblastil in upravne akte, izvajanje omenjene naloge pa preizkusi še na primerih regulatornih javnih agencij v Sloveniji.The master\u27s thesis titled Position of agencies as regulators presents the history of agencies and the process of agencification as a transmission of competence from state to independent regulators. The developement of agencies is connected with the concept of regulatory state which substituted the state interventionism. In Slovenia the field of agencies is regulated by the Public Agencies Act, which defines it as an entity of public law to perform regulatory, development and expert tasks that are in the public interest. Public agencies are autonomous and independent from politics, but still offer a high degree of professiononalism, legitimacy at decision making and user orientation on specific fields. Later in the master\u27s thesis the author primarily focuses on regulatory tasks of public agencies in Slovenia. On the basis of regulatory tasks the agency with public power issues general acts for enforcing public power and administrative acts. Lastly the author tests the implementation of previously mentioned tasks on actual regulatory public agencies in Slovenia
Biological effects of airborne pollutants released during cement production assessed with lichens (SW Slovakia)
No full textIn this paper we investigated the biological effects of airborne pollutants released during cement production by means of epiphytic lichens (SW Slovakia). We assessed the effects of dust pollution on lichen diversity around a limestone quarry (on the quarry-facing and the opposite side of Fagus sylvatica boles) and the content of selected elements in samples of the lichen Xanthoria parietina collected around a cement mill, two quarries and urban and rural sites at increasing distance from the sources of pollution. Dust contamination from limestone quarrying affected lichen diversity within a distance of 350 m from the source. Approaching the quarry, the diffusion of basi-nitrophilous species, the decrease of acidophilous species and the asymmetrical distribution of lichens on the tree boles, with a higher coverage of basiphilous species in the side facing the source of dust were observed. These responses, based on the functional traits of the lichen diversity, are helpful in monitoring studies around similar sources of pollution. In samples of X. parietina collected around the quarries and the cement mill, Ca, Ti, Fe, V, Al and Ni were significantly higher than in the surrounding environment. Calcium was a good tracer for dust contamination around the quarries and the cement plant and a clear decrease in its content with increasing distance from the source was found, with normal values reached within 1700 m from the cement mill. Lichens can be successfully used as indicators to integrate instrumental monitoring networks, when air pollution from cement factories is concerned. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
Využití sociálních médií v B2B prodeji
No full textTato diplomová práce se zabývá tím, jak mohou B2B obchodníci využívat sociální média v prodeji. Na základě systematické rešerše literatury, autor zjistil, že akademici, zkoumající danou problematiku, navrhují další výzkum, a to: v kterých konkrétních krocích se dají využít sociální média v prodeji (Salo, 2017). Autor se na základě toho rozhodl zjistit, jaké sociální sítě, různé technologie a pluginy se dají využít v B2B prodeji - tzv. social sellingu. Social selling se v této práci týká primárně procesu akvizice a okrajově péčí o stávající zákazníky. Autor si vybral kvalitativní průzkum pomocí 10 hloubkových polo-strukturovaných rozhovorů, aby odhalil jak, která sociální média to jsou, tak i motivaci prodejců, proč tato média používat/nepoužívat. Aby autor dodržel správnost vyhodnocení výsledků, data byla analyzována pomocí Tématické analýzy, která v této studii vykrystalizovala 2 hlavní strategické přístupy v social sellingu. Tyto přístupy (tzv. Push a Pull strategie) obsahují praktické příklady a konkrétní aktivity, které mohou prodejci využívat v každodenní praxi. Tyto výsledky jsou prezentovány s důrazem na praktičnost a jednoduchost implementace. Tvoří proto hlavní přínos autorovo výzkumu. V poslední části autor zmiňuje výzvy a manažerská doporučení, které mohou obchodníci využít v každodenním pracovním životě.This diploma thesis focuses on social media usage in B2B sales. Based on the systematic literature review conducted by the author, he has found out that recent researchers (Salo, 2017) suggest further research in the area of how and in which sales phase should various social networking sites, technologies and plugins used. To further fill this research gap, author decided to identify these social media and their usage among B2B salespeople in the so-called social selling process. The social selling process in this thesis applies mainly to acquiring new prospects and tangentially to taking care of existing clients (follow-up step). Author has chosen a qualitative research method via conducting 10 in-depth semi-structured interviews to reveal these instruments as well as motivation of a sales person on why to use social media in the selling process. The collected data was analyzed using Thematic analysis to ensure the right procedure and to identify main themes which crystalized into 2 main strategic approaches in social selling. These approaches (Push and Pull) include practical examples of concrete activities which sales people can use in their daily jobs and are presented with focus on practicality and ease of implementation. These also form the main contribution of author`s research. In the last part, author mentions challenges in social selling and recommended managerial implications for salesforce
TeX v jednoduchém unixovém prostředí
No full textsummary:Při ladění TeXového dokumentu potřebujeme mnohokrát opakovaně pouštět TeX, podívat se, jak dopadl výsledek v prohlížeči DVI nebo PDF souboru, mrknout na výpis TeXu na terminálu, podívat se případně do logu a celou činnost opakovat. V tomto článku je ukázáno, jak tuto práci dělá autor článku. Proces "editor-TeX-kuk" je zde podporován jednoduchými unixovými nástroji: bashovým skriptem texloop, který si autor pro tyto účely vytvořil, dále terminálem Xterm a jednoduchým editorem, který umí navázat na klávesovou zkratku spuštění příkazu v systému. Čtenář se zde může inspirovat a přizpůsobit tyto nástroje svým vlastním potřebám. V článku je popsána funkce skriptu texloop, dále je neformálně rozveden dlouholetý vývoj autorova vztahu k textovým editorům a konečně je zde uvedena konfigurace terminálu Xterm, aby vyhovoval českému prostředí jak v kódování ISO-8859-2, tak v kódování UTF-8. Pro kódování UTF-8 si v závěru článku vygenerujeme TeXový formát csplain.summary:By debugging a TeX document it is necessary many times repeatedly to run TeX, to look for the result in DVI or PDF file, to gander the TeX output on the terminal, or eventually to have a look in the log-file, and all that action to repeat. In the paper it is show, how this work is made by author. The process '‘'editor-TeX-look' is supported by simple Unix tools: bash script texloop, created by author for these purposes, Xterm terminal and a simple editor, which is able to link to the shortcut key the activation of a system command. The reader could be inspired with the solution and to adapt these tools to his/her own needs. In the paper the function of the texloop script is described, and further the longstanding evolution of the author's relation to text editors is informal elaborated and finally a configuration of Xterm terminal, suitable for the czech environment with both ISO-8859-2 and UTF-8 encoding is introduced. For UTF-8 encoding the TeX format csplain is generated at the end of the paper
The Law and Healthy Food
No full textV magistrskem diplomskem delu z naslovom Pravo in zdrava hrana je predstavljen pojem zdrave hrane in pomen njegovega normativnega urejanja. Že starejša medicinska spoznanja potrjujejo vpliv hrane na človekovo zdravje in pojav bolezni, zato je ključno, da s pomočjo prava omogočamo, da je na voljo hrana, ki po zaužitju ne predstavlja tveganja za posameznikovo zdravje. V prvem delu magistrskega diplomskega dela je na kratko predstavljen vpliv hrane na pojav bolezni. Ker je zdravje izjemnega pomena za ekonomsko in socialno stabilnost države, ga varujemo tudi s pomočjo živilske zakonodaje, ki skrbi za visoko raven kvalitete živil, s čimer se zmanjša oziroma izniči tveganja nevarnosti za človekovo zdravje. To dosegamo tudi preko zakonodajnega urejanja kemičnih onesnaževalcev hrane, kamor sodijo pesticidi in aditivi. V drugem delu je podrobneje predstavljeno zakonodajno urejanje pesticidov, njihovih ostankov v hrani ter aditivov, katerega namen je preprečiti, da bi njihova uporaba v procesu proizvodnje hrane škodovala posamezniku, ki jo bo zaužil. V nadaljevanju dela sta predstavljeni pravica do zdravja in pravica do hrane. Opisano je razumevanje obeh pravic tako v mednarodni, kot v slovenski ureditvi. Pravica do hrane se v mednarodni sferi zagotavlja široko – ne zgolj kot varstvo pred lakoto, temveč se želi preko nje zagotoviti pravica do ustrezne hrane. Pojem ustrezne hrane je natančno opredelil Odbor za ekonomske, socialne in kulturne pravice. V Splošnem komentarju št. 12 o pravici do ustrezne hrane je definiral pojem »ustreznosti« ter zagotavljanje pravice povezal s trajnostnim razvojem. S tem je pravico do hrane močno približal razumevanju pravice do zdrave hrane. Ker Ustava Republike Slovenije ne vsebuje pravice do hrane, je v zadnjem delu predstavljena možnost uresničitve pravice do zdrave oz. ustrezne hrane v slovenskem pravnem prostoru.In the master thesis entitled The Law and Healthy Food, the notion of healthy food and the significance of its normative regulation are presented. Even older medical findings confirm the impact that food has on human health and the onset of illness, so it is crucial that, with the help of the law, we ensure the availability of food which does not pose a risk to an individual\u27s health after it is consumed. In the first part of the master thesis, the effect of food on the onset of illness is briefly presented. Since health is of the utmost importance for the economic and social stability of the state, it is protected by food legislation, which ensures a high quality of food thus reducing or eliminating the risks of danger to human health. This is also achieved through the legislative regulation of chemical food contaminants, including pesticides and additives. In the second part of the thesis, the legislative regulation of pesticides, their residues in food and additives is presented in greater detail. The aim of this regulation is to prevent their use in the process of food production so as to stop them from harming the individual who will consume the food. Further, the right to health and the right to food are also presented. The understanding of both rights is described in both international and Slovenian regulation. In the international sphere, the right to food is provided for broadly – not just as a protection from famine, but rather as the right to adequate food. The concept of adequate food was specifically defined by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. In the General Comment No. 12 on the right to adequate food, the Committee defined the notion of "adequate" and also linked the provision of this right to the sustainable development. With this, the right to food has come much closer to the meaning of the right to healthy food. Finally, since the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia does not include the right to food, the last part of the thesis presents the possibility of establishing the right to healthy or adequate food in Slovenian legal area
