    Gedetineerde moeders en hun kinderen: de invloed van detentieop ouderschap en welzijn van de kinderen

    No full text
    De afgelopen jaren is het aantal meisjes en vrouwen dat in aanraking is gekomen met politie en justitie gestegen. Kennis over de achtergronden en aanpak van delinquentie bij deze groep is dan ook gewenst, vooral ook omdat het meeste onderzoek in de criminologie gericht is op mannen. Verschillende deskundigen, afkomstig uit de praktijk en de wetenschap, beschrijven niet alleen de stand van zaken in de buitenlandse literatuur, maar ook wat bekend is over criminaliteit bij Nederlandse meisjes en vrouwen. De auteurs gaan in op de delicten die meisjes en vrouwen plegen, hun criminele carrières en mogelijke oorzaken en theoretische verklaringen voor criminaliteit. Hierbij is er specifieke aandacht voor biopsychologischefactoren, gezinsfactoren, leeftijdgenoten, psychiatrische stoornissen en etniciteit. Ookspecifieke dadergroepen komen aan bod, zoals meisjes en vrouwen die ernstig gewelddadig zijn, zedendelicten plegen, en in de georganiseerde misdaad zitten. Vervolgens geven een aantal auteurs inzicht in risicotaxatie en behandeling van delinquente meisjes. Het laatste deel van het boek richt zich vooral op de achtergronden en aanpak van meisjes en vrouwen die met justitie te maken krijgen, in het bijzonder meisjes en vrouwen die in een JJI of tbs-kliniekzitten, begeleid worden door de reclassering of gedetineerd raken. Bij deze laatste groep wordt ingezoomd op de gevolgen die detentie weer voor hun kinderen heeft

    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

    Full text link
    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

    A Monte Carlo Technique to Investigate Signal Delays of Advanced Si BJT's up to High Currents

    No full text
    We present a new Monte Carlo technique to investigate the signal delay of advanced BJTs featuring relevant non-local effects. The method is suited to analyze base and collector signal delays in presence of significant nonequilibrium transport effects and up to high currents, and to verify the physical meaning and applicability of delay expressions for compact models
