    Malmökommissionen belyser invandrarkvinnors låga sysselsättningsgrad i Malmö och lyfter även sysselsättning vara en av de viktigaste faktorerna för att uppnå god hälsa. Föreliggande studie har utfört 15 kvalitativa intervjuer på det arbetsintegrerande sociala företaget och kvinnokooperativet Yalla trappan. Syftet med studien är att skapa förståelse för hur det sociala arbetsintegrerande företaget och kvinnokooperativet Yalla trappans praktik- och studieprogram Y-allas väg till arbete arbetar för att stärka invandrade kvinnor i Malmö. Syftet är ävenledes att undersöka hur de deltagande kvinnorna upplever verksamheten och således vilken betydelse Y-allas väg till arbete har för kvinnorna. Intervjumaterialet har analyserats med hjälp av de teoretiska begreppen erkännande, sörjbarhet och empowerment. Den avslutande diskussionen och resultaten lyfter vikten av att Yalla trappan är utformad utifrån deltagarnas behov. Diskussionen och resultaten lyfter även relevansen av att vara delaktig i en stärkande gemenskap för att kunna skapa medvetenhet och förändring. Slutligen problematiserar studien huruvida styrkan som skapas inom verksamheten även erhålls utanför kollektivet.The Malmö Commission highlights the low employment rate of immigrant women in Malmö and underlines employment as being one of the most important factors for achieving good health. This study is conducted through 15 qualitative interviews with women involved in the labor-integrating social enterprise and women cooperative Yalla trappan. The aim of the study is to understand how the Yalla trappan trainee- and study program Y-allas väg till arbete works with strengthening immigrant women in Malmö. The purpose is to examine how the participating women experience the participation and thus the significance of the programme Y-allas väg till arbete. The empirical material has been analyzed through the theoretical concepts of recognition, mournfulness and empowerment. The discussion and results concludes the importance of Yalla trappan being designed based on the needs of the participants at the core. The discussion and results highlights the importance of a strengthening community that enables the creation of awareness and change. Concludingly, the study questions how the strength created within the community can be maintained outside of the collective

    Festivaler – ett jämställt rum? - En kvalitativ studie om ställningstagandet till trygga zoner utifrån feministisk vetenskapsteori

    Abstrakt Syftet med uppsatsen är att lyfta fram debattens åsikter gällande trygga zoner på musikfestivalen Göteborgs Kulturkalas under sommaren 2016 och därigenom analysera åsikterna med hjälp av en idealtypsanalys konstruerad av feministisk vetenskapsteori. Debatten analyseras med hjälp av liberalfeminism och radikalfeminism. Genom valda feministiska inriktningar tydliggörs en differentierad åsiktsbildning samt feminismens komplexitet. Den avslutande diskussionen lyfter vilka aktörer som uttalat sig i debatten och påvisar att majoriteten av aktörerna inte är för en åtgärd i form av trygga zoner. Genom aktörernas inställning till trygga zoner diskuteras deras feministiska ställningstagande vilket resulterar i att större delen av aktörerna innehar en närmare koppling till liberalfeminism än radikalfeminism.Abstract The aim of this paper is to highlight the differentiated point of view on the debate regarding the women-only zones at the music festival Göteborgs Kulturkalas in Sweden during the summer of 2016 and thereby analyzing the attitudes towards these using an ideal type analysis constructed by feminist science theory, which includes liberal- and radical feminism. By using the feminist theory as an outset for the analysis a differentiated set of attitudes is shown, which highlights the complexity of feminism. The final discussion is highlighting the actors who expressed their views in the debate and demonstrating that the vast majority of actors are not for women-only zones. Through the actors’ attitude towards women-only zones, its feminist position is discussed, which results that the majority of actors having a closer association with liberal feminism than radical feminism

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 PDF
    We 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

    Get PDF
    We 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 text
    We 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
