Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Theodor W. Adorno: um crítico na era dourada do capitalismo
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Filosofia, Florianópolis, 2015.A presente tese apresenta a teoria crítica tardia de Theodor W. Adorno por meio da análise dos diversos elementos que a compõe: sua dimensão política; seu público-alvo; seu objeto de crítica; suas críticas ao capitalismo, à racionalidade predominante na modernidade, à dominação da natureza e à vida danificada; seu projeto de emancipação e sua justificação normativa. Argumenta-se que, ao contrário do que defende a interpretação predominante, não houve uma substituição do objeto da crítica ao longo do percurso teórico do pensador frankfurtiano, da economia política à razão instrumental ou à dominação da natureza, mas sim uma complementação: de forma que a crítica ao capitalismo seguia sendo necessária, mas já não era mais suficiente como análise dos obstáculos que impedem a emancipação. O trabalho visa tanto expor o procedimento teórico crítico adorniano, a dialética negativa, como também questionar o diagnóstico de época e as tendências sociais observadas pelo autor frankfurtiano, e, na medida em que obtiver sucesso nessa dupla empreitada, almeja conseguir, ainda, estabelecer um diálogo crítico entre o autor, o seu tempo e o nosso.Abstract : This Doctoral Dissertation aims to present the late critical theory of Theodor W. Adorno by analyzing the various elements that compose it: its political dimension; its target audience; its object of criticism; its criticism of capitalism, of the prevailing rationality in modernity, of nature?s domination and of the damaged life; its emancipation project and its normative justification. It is argued that, contrary to the predominant interpretation defends, there was not a replacement of the object of criticism during the theoretical trajectory of the Frankfurtian thinker, from political economy to instrumental reason or to nature?s domination, but rather a complement: so the critique of capitalism was still necessary, but it was no longer sufficient as analysis of the obstacles to emancipation. The work aims to expose both the critical theoretical procedure, the negative dialectics, as well as to question the diagnosis of the time and social trends observed by the Frankfurtian author, and, in the extent that succeeds in this double endeavor, seeks also to be able to establish a critical dialogue between the author, his time and ours
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

Many-electron theory of resonant charge transfer: Role of surface states in He and He+ scattering off Si(100)
No full textA many-electron theory of resonant charge transfer, originally formulated for the scattering of an atom with an empty valence orbital from a surface, is extended to treat the case where the valence orbital is initially occupied by one or two electrons. The scattering of He and He+ from the Si(001) surface is investigated. The interaction is assumed to be with the narrow band of surface states, and not the much wider bulk band. As a result, considerable oscillations are found in the ionization and/or neutralization probabilities as a function of the incident energy.PT: J; CR: AMOS AT, 1989, ADV CHEM PHYS, V76, P335 AMOS AT, 1989, SOLID STATE COMMUN, V71, P449 BLOSS W, 1978, SURF SCI, V72, P277 BRAKO R, 1981, SURF SCI, V108, P253 BURROWS BL, 1984, Q APPL MATH, V42, P73 BURROWS BL, 1990, J PHYS A-MATH GEN, V23, P1101 BURROWS BL, 1991, SURF SCI, V253, P365 CHADI DJ, 1975, PHYS STATUS SOLIDI B, V68, P405 HAGSTRUM HD, 1954, PHYS REV, V96, P336 HAGSTRUM HD, 1961, PHYS REV, V122, P83 HERMAN F, 1963, ATOMIC STRUCTURE CAL IHM J, 1980, PHYS REV B, V21, P4592 MUDA Y, 1980, SURF SCI, V97, P283 MUDA Y, 1988, NUCL INSTRUM METH B, V33, P388 MUDA Y, 1988, PHYS REV B, V37, P7048 PAULING L, 1935, INTRO QUANTUM MECHAN ROBERTS N, 1990, SURF SCI, V236, P112 SOUDA R, 1985, SURF SCI, V150, L59 SOUDA R, 1986, NUCL INSTRUM METH B, V15, P114 SOUDA R, 1986, NUCL INSTRUM METH B, V15, P138 SOUDA R, 1986, SURF SCI, V176, P657 SULSTON KW, 1988, PHYS REV B, V37, P9121 SULSTON KW, 1988, SURF SCI, V197, P555 SULSTON KW, 1989, SURF SCI, V244, P543 WEAKLIEM PC, 1990, SURF SCI, V232, L219 WEISENDANGER R, 1990, SURF SCI, V232, P1; NR: 26; TC: 4; J9: PHYS REV B; PG: 11; GA: HZ245Source type: Electronic(1
Interesariusze i typy orientacji etycznej w kodeksach etycznych firm
No full textThe author presents an analysis of the contents of the codes of ethics in 49 companies
of a different nature: national and international, large and small, as well as, from different areas of
business. The author looks for the frequency of the presence of different types of stakeholders and
ethical conclusions, contrary to many suggestions in the current literature.Babbie E., Podstawy badań społecznych, WN PWN, Warszawa 2008.

HETERODINUCLEAR GROUP-6 METALLACARBORANES - SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF [CLOSO-3,3,3-(CO)3-3-SNPH3-3,1,2-MC2B9H11]-(M = CR, MO, W)
No full textHeterodinuclear group 6 metallacarborane anions [closo-3,3,3-(CO)3-3-SnPh3-3,1,2-MC2B9H11]-(M = Cr, 2; Mo, 3; W, 4) were prepared from the equimolar reaction systems of Tl2C2B9H11/M(CO)3(MeCN)3/SnPh3Cl/(PPN)Cl in MeCN as the [PPN]+ (PPN+ = bis(triphenylphophoranylidene ammonium cation) salts and were characterized by various means including multinuclear NMR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystals of [PPN].4 are monoclinic, C2/c, with a = 45.777(4), b = 11.669(1), c = 26.826(3) angstrom, beta = 125.134(2)degrees, V = 11718 angstrom 3 and Z = 8. Convergence was achieved with R (R(w)) = 6.7 (8.0)% for 5487 (I > 3-sigma(I)) observed reflections. The nido anion C2B9H11(2-) interacts with W via the C2B3 pentagonal] plane and forms the closo WC2B9 geometry. The W-Sn distance of 2.825(1) angstrom and the observation of 1J(Sn-119-W-183) = 262 Hz in Sn-119 NMR spectrum of 4 establish the presence of a W-Sn bonding interaction. The structural integrities of 2, 3 and 4 are similar and each compound remains intact in solution.Korea Science and Engineering
