    У статті висвітлено особливості музично-імпровізаційних умінь підлітків та розглянуто можливі підходи до заохочення дітей музичною імпровізацією. На основі загальнонаукових та конкретно-наукових методів дослідження виявлено психологічні аспекти заохочення підлітків до музично-імпровізаційної діяльності (зменшенні страху перед помилками, психотерапевтична підтримка). Сконцентровано увагу на соціальні фактори та соціальне оточення, котрі відіграють особливу роль у розвитку музично-імпровізаційних умінь дітей підліткового віку. Узагальнено педагогічні підходи до заохочення підлітків музичною імпровізацією, котрі прослідковуються завдяки інтеграції музичної імпровізації в освітній процес (створення безпечного середовища, поступове введення музичної імпровізації, використання різних жанрів музики) та використанню сучасних технологій (музичні програми та додатки, онлайн-платформи).The article highlights the peculiarities of musical improvisational skills of adolescents and considers possible approaches to encouraging children to use musical improvisation. On the basis of general scientific and specific scientific research methods, the psychological aspects of encouraging adolescents to engage in musical improvisational activities (reducing the fear of mistakes, psychotherapeutic support) are revealed. Attention is focused on social factors and social environment, which play a special role in the development of musical and improvisational skills of adolescent children. The pedagogical approaches to encouraging adolescents to use musical improvisation are generalized, which can be traced through the integration of musical improvisation into the educational process (creating a safe environment, gradual introduction of musical improvisation, using different genres of music) and the use of modern technologies (music programs and applications, online platforms)

    У статті висвітлено особливості музичної імпровізації та її вплив на розвиток творчого потенціалу підлітків. На основі застосування широкого спектру методів наукового дослідження виокремлено основні характеристики музичної імпровізації, деталізовано поняття «музична імпровізація», охарактеризовано історичні основи становлення музичної імпровізації. Аргументовано доцільність музичної імпровізації на розвиток творчого потенціалу дітей підліткового віку. Доведено, музична імпровізація стимулює креативне мислення, сприяє емоційному вираженню та формуванню унікального музичного стилю у підлітків. Обґрунтовано, під час музичної імпровізації підлітки вчаться працювати в команді, удосконалюють навички слухання та співпраці, означений процес допомагає дітям долати страх помилок і розвивати впевненість у своїх творчих здібностях.The article highlights the features of musical improvisation and its influence on the development of adolescents' creative potential. Based on the use of a wide range of scientific research methods, the main characteristics of musical improvisation are highlighted, the concept of "musical improvisation" is detailed, the historical foundations of the formation of musical improvisation are characterized. The expediency of musical improvisation for the development of the creative potential of adolescent children is substantiated. It is proved that musical improvisation stimulates creative thinking, promotes emotional expression and the formation of a unique musical style in adolescents. It is substantiated that during musical improvisation, adolescents learn to work in a team, improve their listening and collaboration skills, and this process helps children overcome the fear of mistakes and develop confidence in their creative abilities

    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

    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

    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
