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
Prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites among primary school students as a public health issue: A comparative study between rural and urban areas.
Get PDFThe main purpose of the research work is to study the diversity of the etiological structure of gastrointestinal parasites among primary school students in rural and urban settlements of the Turkestan region by identifying and comparing the frequency of their occurrence and spread.
Gastrointestinal parasitic infections pose a serious public health problem worldwide, especially in rural areas of developing countries. There is evidence that about 3.5 billion people worldwide have been infected with parasitic infections, of which about 450 million (about 30%) children have been infected with gastrointestinal parasites. It is known that primary school students are in a vulnerable group at risk of contracting gastrointestinal parasitic infections due to immaturity of the immune system, non-compliance with hygiene measures, oral activity. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 870 million children live in an endemic zone with gastrointestinal worms and annually lead to the death of 15 million young children, most of whom are widespread in developing countries, mainly on the Asian and African continents.
The scientific novelty of the study is that for the first time the etiological structure of gastrointestinal parasites occurring among primary school students of rural and urban settlements of Turkestan region will be revealed, the frequency of their occurrence and distribution will be studied. The influence of various levels of the economic and social factor of rural and urban settlements on the frequency of gastrointestinal parasites is also investigated. To contribute to the World Health Organization on behalf of the Republic of Kazakhstan. As a result of the study, the occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in children in our state, which is among the developing countries, will be revealed or not revealed, compared with each other in socio-economic conditions with other developed and underdeveloped states.Бұл ғылыми-зерттеу жұмысының басты мақсаты – Түркістан облысының ауылдық және қалалық елді мекендеріндегі бастауыш сынып оқушылары арасында асқорыту жүйесі паразиттерінің этиологиялық құрылымының әртүрлілігін зерттеу, олардың кездесу жиілігі мен таралуын анықтап, салыстыру болып табылады. Асқорыту жүйесінің паразитарлық инфекциялары әлем бойынша, әсіресе дамушы елдердің ауылдық аймақтарында, қоғамдық денсаулық сақтау үшін елеулі мәселе болып табылады. Деректерге сәйкес, әлемде шамамен 3,5 миллиард адам паразитарлық инфекциялармен жұқтырылған, олардың ішінде шамамен 450 миллионы (яғни 30%-ға жуығы) балалар болып табылады және олар асқорыту жүйесінің паразиттерімен зақымданған. Бастауыш сынып оқушылары иммундық жүйесінің толық жетілмеуі, гигиеналық талаптарды сақтамауы және заттарды ауыз арқылы қабылдау әдеттеріне байланысты қауіп тобындағы балалар қатарына жатады. Дүниежүзілік денсаулық сақтау ұйымының (ДДҰ) мәліметтері бойынша, әлемде 870 миллион бала ішек құрттарымен эндемиялық аймақтарда өмір сүреді және жыл сайын 15 миллионнан астам жас баланың өліміне себеп болады, олардың көпшілігі Азия және Африка құрлықтарындағы дамушы елдерде тіркеледі.
Зерттеудің ғылыми жаңалығы – алғаш рет Түркістан облысының ауылдық және қалалық мектептеріндегі бастауыш сынып оқушылары арасында кездесетін асқорыту жүйесінің паразиттерінің этиологиялық құрылымы анықталып, олардың таралу жиілігі мен кездесу жиілігі зерттелетін болады. Сонымен қатар, ауылдық және қалалық елді мекендердің әртүрлі әлеуметтік-экономикалық деңгейлерінің асқорыту жүйесі паразиттерінің таралу жиілігіне әсері талданады. Бұл зерттеу нәтижелері арқылы Қазақстан Республикасы атынан Дүниежүзілік денсаулық сақтау ұйымына өз үлесін қосу мүмкіндігі қарастырылады. Зерттеу нәтижесінде елімізде, дамушы елдердің қатарына жататын мемлекет ретінде, балалар арасында асқорыту паразиттерінің бар-жоғы анықталып, әлеуметтік-экономикалық жағдайлары әртүрлі дамыған және даму деңгейі төмен елдермен салыстырмалы талдау жасалады.
Основной целью научно-исследовательской работы является изучение многообразия этиологической структуры желудочно-кишечных паразитов среди учащихся начальных классов школ сельских и городских поселений Туркестанской области путем выявления и сравнения между собой частоты их встречаемости и распространения.
Желудочно-кишечные паразитарные инфекции представляют серьезную проблему для общественного здравоохранения во всем мире, особенно в сельской местности развивающихся государств. Есть данные о том, что во всем мире паразитарными инфекциями заразились около 3,5 миллиарда человек, из которых около 450 миллионов (около 30%) детей были заражены желудочно-кишечными паразитами. Известно, что учащиеся начальных классов входят в уязвимую группу по риску заражения желудочно-кишечными паразитарными инфекциями из-за незрелости иммунной системы, несоблюдения гигиенических мер, пероральной активности. По данным Всемирной организации здравоохранения (ВОЗ), 870 миллионов детей живут в эндемичной зоне с желудочно-кишечными гельминтами и ежегодно приводят к гибели 15 миллионов детей раннего возраста, большая часть которых широко распространена в развивающихся странах, в основном на Азиатском и Африканском континентах.
Научная новизна исследования состоит в том, что впервые будет выявлена этиологическая структура желудочно-кишечных паразитов, встречающихся среди учащихся начальных классов школ сельских и городских поселений Туркестанской области, будет изучена частота их встречаемости и распространения. Исследуется также влияние различных уровней экономико-социального фактора сельских и городских поселений на частоту распространения желудочно-кишечных паразитов. Внести свой вклад во Всемирную организацию здравоохранения от имени Республики Казахстан. В результате исследования будут выявлено или не выявлено встречаемости желудочно-кишечных паразитов у детей в нашем государстве, относящемся к числу развивающихся стран, сравнивается между собой в социально-экономических условиях с другими развитыми и отстающими в развитии государствами.

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.
