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
Psychological aspects of an early psychophysiological rehabilitation for patients after a heart attack
Get PDFSrčno-žilne bolezni so v razvitem delu sveta in tudi v Sloveniji že desetletja zelo razširjen vzrok obolevnosti in umrljivosti odraslih. Najpogostejša bolezen srca je nepredvidljiv in življenjsko nevaren srčni infarkt, ki lahko pri bolniku povzroči številne psihološke posledice. V literaturi je moč zaslediti, da se lahko srčni bolniki po srčnem infarktu srečujejo z anksioznostjo, depresijo in z bolj intenzivnim doživljanjem stresa. V magistrskem delu smo želeli preveriti učinke programa zgodnje psihofiziološke rehabilitacije (v nadaljevanju ZPFR program) na zmanjšanje anksioznih in depresivnih simptomov, na zaznavo stresa in psihološko fleksibilnost, na psihološko blagostanje, vsakodnevno funkcioniranje ter rizično vedenje. Vpliv ZPFR-programa smo preverjali pri dveh skupinah, in sicer pri eksperimentalni skupini, ki je sedem tednov obiskovala srečanja, usmerjena na psihoedukacijo, tehnike sproščanja in vaje čuječnosti, in pri kontrolni skupini, ki srečanj ni obiskovala. V raziskavi smo uporabili pet merskih pripomočkov: lestvico bolnišnične anksioznosti in depresije, lestvico zaznanega stresa, lestvico kazalca blaginje, vprašalnik za merjenje izida terapije in vprašalnik sprejemanja in akcije. Rezultati so pokazali, da je ZPFR-program pripomogel k zmanjšanju simptomov anksioznosti in ohranjanju trenutnih simptomov depresije, prav tako pa so udeleženci po ZPFR-programu zaznavali nižji stres in boljše vsakodnevno funkcioniranje. Na podlagi rezultatov je razvidno, da pri udeležencih kontrolne skupine ni prišlo do pomembnih sprememb na lestvici anksioznosti, nasprotno pa so udeleženci programa poročali o večji prisotnosti depresivnih simptomov in višji zaznavi stresa. Program ZPFR ni pripomogel k izboljšanju psihološkega blagostanja in psihološke fleksibilnosti, saj sta obe skupini poročali o podobnih vrednostih ne glede na čas ali udeleženost. Na podlagi rezultatov lahko zaključimo, da ima psihološka podpora v obliki ZPFR-programa določene blagodejne učinke na duševno zdravje srčnih bolnikov v našem vzorcu. Študija osvetljuje pomembnost večje informiranosti ter psihološke podpore za srčne bolnike. Študija hkrati ponuja smernice za nove raziskave na tem področju ter ponuja smernice za razmislek o vzpostavitvi ZPFR-programa, katerega bi lahko tudi prilagodili za številne druge bolnike.Cardiovascular diseases have been a widespread cause of adult morbidity and mortality in the developed part of the world and in Slovenia for decades. The most common heart disease is an unpredictable and life-threatening heart attack, which can have a number of psychological consequences for a patient. In literature it can be seen that cardiac patients after a heart attack may experience anxiety, depression, and a more intense experience of stress. In the master\u27s thesis we wanted to examine the effects of the program of early psychophysiological rehabilitation (in continuation ZPFR program) on the reduction of anxiety and depressive symptoms, on the perception of stress and psychological flexibility, on psychological well-being, daily functioning and risky behavior. The impact of the ZPFR program was examined in two groups, mainly the experimental group, which attended psychoeducation, relaxation techniques and mindfulness exercises for seven weeks, and the control group, which did not attend the meetings. Five measurement tools were used in the study: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, Five Well-Being Index, the CORE outcome Measure, and the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire. The results showed that the ZPFR program helped reduce anxiety symptoms and maintain current symptoms of depression, and participants under the ZPFR program perceived lower stress levels and better daily functioning. Based on the results, it is evident that there were no significant changes in the anxiety scale in the participants of the control group, on the contrary, the participants in the program reported a higher presence of depressive symptoms and a higher perception of stress. The ZPFR program did not help to improve psychological well-being and psychological flexibility, as both groups reported similar values regardless of time or participation. Based on the results, we can conclude that psychological support in the form of a ZPFR program has certain beneficial effects on the mental health of cardiac patients in our sample. The study highlights the importance of greater information and psychological support for cardiac patients. At the same time, the study provides guidelines for the future research in this area and provides guidelines for considering the establishment of a ZPFR program, which could also be adapted for many other patients
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
