Digitaalisen väkivallan kitkeminen edellyttää tutkimusta, koulutusta ja asennemuutosta
No full textDigitaalinen väkivalta jää vakavissakin tapauksissa usein tunnistamatta niin tekijöiltä, kohteilta kuin auttavilta tahoilta ja viranomaisilta. Tarvitaan monimuotoista väkivallan tutkimusta, aihepiiriin perehtynyttä koulutusta sekä yleistä asennemuutosta, Marita Husso, Sonja Tihveräinen ja Sisko Piippo Tampereen yliopiston DIGNITEAS-hankkeesta kirjoittavat.nonPeerReviewe
Exploring Professional Agency in Domestic Violence Interventions Within Social and Health Care
Get PDFWhile the existing research on domestic violence (DV) interventions has provided substantial insights into the challenges associated with addressing DV, the factors that facilitate its intervention in social and health care remain under-researched. This study focuses on DV intervention practices that professionals have deemed successful and employs subject-centered sociocultural theories of professional agency to analyze how professional agency is manifested in these situations. To this end, 10 focus group interviews were conducted with 45 experienced social and health care professionals. The collected data were subjected to thematic content analysis. The findings illustrate how professional agency is manifested in various contexts: through understanding DV as a phenomenon and its contextual factors (epistemic agency), launching a process (processual agency), collaborating with other professionals (relational agency), and reflecting on one’s own actions and emotions (reflective agency).peerReviewe
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
Developing Better Services for Intimate Partner Violence: Hearing the Voice of Disabled People
No full textThis article deals with collaborative development work between the public sector and the third sectorin an area of Southern Savo, Finland, from the perspective of disabled victims. The purpose was to create structures for IPV (intimate partner violence) work, developing professionals’ skills in both tackling IPV and service-user involvement. Five NGOs (non-governmental organizations) for disabled people were involved. Professionals were trained to ask about IPV and to gainamore in-depth understanding of the issue (including thespecial features relating to disabled people) andof how to intervene. Care pathways, linking both basic and special services, were also modeled. A permanent and regional NEIPV (Network of Excellence in IPV) was established and is coordinated by both the public and third sectors, including Experts by Experience. Strong basic structures and care pathways are needed so that the special needs of disabled people can be recognized. Raising awareness of violence, routine enquiries modified according to the needs of organizations, and simple care pathways are needed—both in the public sector and for NGOs representing the disabled. Information gained through training will not necessarily be transferred into direct practice without a strong commitment from the managerial level. Establishing organizational guidelines is necessary. This will also promote professionals’ openness toward user knowledge
