Cernavodă – Columbia D puzzle : the Skull Complex
No full textThis paper focuses on the re‐ analysis of a feature from the Late Neolithic Hamangia cemetery at Cernavodă – Columbia D (Constanţa County, Romania), excavated at the middle of the last century. The analysis took place in several stages : processing of archaeological information, anthropological re‐ evaluation, combination of the two sets of data, and interpretation. The sample of the re‐ analysed human osteological material includes 11 fragmentary crania and several dozens of other cranial and postcranial remains. Two of the crania present interesting characteristics : one was cut, broken, with a postmortem trepanation, and was polished, while the other bears the traces of a benign tumoral cyst. Another skull fragment bears traces of postmortem burning. In addition to human remains, this feature yielded a pig mandible, freshwater mussel shells, a bolder, a pottery sherd and a fragment of a stalactite/ stalagmite.Lucrarea este concentrată pe reanalizarea unui complex din cimitirul neolitic Hamangia de la Cernavodă – Columbia D (jud. Constanţa, România), cercetat arheologic la mijlocul secolului trecut. Analiza a parcurs mai multe etape : procesarea informaţiilor arheologice, reevaluarea antropologică, combinarea şi interpretarea celor două seturi de date. Eşantionul scheletic uman re‐ analizat este format din 11 calote craniene şi alte câteva zeci de resturi craniene șI postcraniene. Două calote prezintă caracteristici deosebite ; una a fost decalotată, ruptă, trepanată postmortem şi şlefuită, iar alta prezintă urmele unui chist benign tumoral. La acestea adăugăm un fragment cranian cu urme de arsură (incinerare postmortem). Pe lângă resturi scheletice umane, complexul a conţinut şi o mandibulă de porc, scoici de apă dulce, o piatră, un fragment ceramic şi un fragment de stalagmită/ stalactită.Kogălniceanu Raluca, Simalcsik Angela.

Peisaje şi contexte actuale: un tumul de pământ cercetat în localitatea Coada Izvorului, judeţul Prahova / Present landscapes and contexts: a burial mound excavated at Coada Izvorului, Prahova County
No full textThe aim of this study is to provide extensive information regarding the results of the archaeological research carried out during the autumn of 2017 in Coada Izvorului locality, Măneşti commune (Prahova County). Within less than two weeks, the Prahova County Museum of History and Archaeology excavated using mechanised equipment an earth mound with a height of 1.2 m and a diameter of 35 m. It contained a total number of three graves, two of which were prehistoric, dating from the first half of the 3rd millennium BC, while the third was assigned to the Turkic nomad populations from the beginning of the 2nd millennium AD. No grave goods were found in the prehistoric burials, however the later one had two iron items, respectively an arrowhead and a ring, both of which were poorly preserved.Scopul acestui studiu este de a oferi informaţii extinse cu privire la rezultatele cercetărilor arheologice derulate în toamna anului 2017 în localitatea Coada Izvorului (com. Măneşti, jud. Prahova). În mai puţin de două săptămâni, o echipă de arheologi de la Muzeul Judeţean de Istorie şi Arheologie Prahova a săpat, cu mijloace mecanizate, un tumul de pământ, înalt de aproximativ 1,20 m şi cu diametrul de circa 35 m. În total au fost descoperite trei morminte, dintre care două preistorice, datate în prima jumătate a mileniului al III‐ lea î. Hr., și un al treilea atribuit populaţiilor turanice de la începutul mileniului al II‐ lea d. Hr. Mormintele preistorice nu au avut inventar, iar în cel turanic se aflau două piese din fier, respectiv un vârf de săgeată şi o verigă, ambele slab conservate.Frînculeasa Alin, Preda Bianca, Simalcsik Angela, Negrea Octav.

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
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
