China's Economic Reform: Two Levels of Dual Economic Institutions in the Market Socialism
No full text中國經濟改革的特殊之處在於轉型的過程中保留了相當程度的國有企業，同時也開放和逐步健全了混合所有制的財產制度，也就是柯爾奈(J?anos Kornai)所謂的「雙重經濟體制」。除此之外，中國在國有企業的改革內容裡，更建立了國有企業本身的雙執制，也就是以市場機制和計畫經濟同時調節國有企業的運作。兩個層次的雙重經濟體制(雙層雙重經濟體制：two levels of dual economic institutions)同時運作，一方面透過保留下來的國有企業可以穩定改革帶來的衝擊，一方面透過和有化健全的過程可以追求改革所欲提高的市場生產效率。雙層雙重經濟體制運作的最主要邏輯，在於國家在經濟轉型過程中始終保持主導的地位，透過兩種體制的建立，政府意圖在穩定中尋求經濟的成長。The economic reform in China led by Deng was to form an economy based on a marketed socialist economy system. Yet the system cannot guarantee the success of the reform. In regards to the specific character of the economic reform in China, J?nos Komai suggests the so-called "dual economic systems." During the transition period, China not only retains the state-run enterprises to some extent, but also improves the mixed-ownership system openly and gradually. Moreover, it also establishes the two levels of dual economic institutions, which adjust the operation of the state-run enterprises by the market system and the planned economy. In doing so, the retained state-run enterprises can reduce the impact of the reform, while the private ones can seek for a higher efficiency of the market productivity. The major logic concerning the two levels of dual economic institutions lies on the state's dominant position during the transition period. The intention of the government is to look for a stable economic growth through the establishment of the dual systems. This article will focus on the logic of the two levels of dual economic institutions as well as the state role in the new institutions. I will also discuss the influence of the two levels of dual economic institutions on the economic reform
Lack of efficacy of troglitazone at clinically achievable concentrations, with or without 9-cis retinoic acid or cytotoxic agents, for hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines
No full textAlthough the PPARg agonist troglitazone has been shown to induce growth inhibition of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells at high
concentration, this study indicates troglitazone does not significantly inhibit the growth of HCC cells at clinically achievable
concentrations (1–10 mM), and this lack of activity could not be improved by the addition of 9-cis-retinoic acid. Furthermore, no
synergistic effect was found between troglitazone and cytotoxic anticancer agents

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
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
