Ignacy Solarz (1891-1940) in Polish post-war educational literature. Conclusions for the contemporaries
No full textIn the article the author tries to analyze the place of Ignacy Solarz and his educational activity in the publishing output of the theoreticians and practitioners of Polish education/andragogics from the end of the Second World War until modern times. The author indicates three post-war waves of increased interest in the achievements of this remarkable education activitist working mostly in rural areas among Polish teachers/andragogues. Each of these waves resulted in an increased number of publications devoted to his educational ideas and practice: firstly in the 1940s, when the authors tried to refer directly to Solarz’s post-war activity, then between the 1960s and the 1980s, when Solarz was mainly presented as a promoter of people’s the People’s Republic of Poland, whose educational ideas could be used for education in the new – people’s – social reality, and lastly at the beginnings of the Third Republic of Poland, when the authors tried to focus on Solarz’s achievements in the context of the search for Polish models of civic education and democratization of rural education. The second part of the article presents a proposition of the author to read anew the educational/andragogic achievements of I. Solarz, emphasizing the common, socially universal educational values and practical educational actions. Only such an approach to Solarz’s legacy, as the author of the article believes, can help to integrate him in the general Polish educational legacy and to save the activist from gradual but clearly progressing sinking into oblivion
General theorem for the existence of iterative roots of homeomorphisms with periodic points
No full textAbstractWe apply Zdun’s factorization theorem (see Zdun (2008) [3]) to give the conditions for the existence and the form of continuous and orientation-preserving iterative roots of homeomorphisms of the circle with a rational rotation number. Our theorem generalizes the previous results given by Jarczyk (2003) in [2], Zdun (2008) in [3] and Solarz (2003, 2009) in [4] and [5]

The Transnational Reconfiguration of Politics and Its Implications for Nation-States and Their Security
No full textThe article is set to discuss the transnational reconfiguration of politics and the implications it has for nation-states and their security. It is a process that international migration has contributed to bring about and has direct connections with the kind of relationships that migrant-sending countries decide to establish with their citizens living abroad. After a definition of the key concepts of this study, such as globalization and transnational politics, the article will focus on two particular aspects of the political participation of transnational migrants, regarding their involvement in the politics of the home countries as well as in that of the host countries. As an example of the former aspect, the case will be presented of Ecuador as a “transnational nation-state”

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
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
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
