Former builders and constractors and now the poorest and discriminated pensioners
Get PDFIt is a real fact that the generation of the current pensioners during their active productive life have created a lot of various facilities that are still available and successfully utilized for the benefits of citizens. Especially, in former socialist countries they created enormous amounts of facilities that later on during the privatization as a part of the transformation process from the former socialist command economy to current market economy have become the property of the foreign investors

THE LETHAL EURO CRISIS: NOT THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS BUT THE EUROZONE GOVERNANCE IS RESPONSIBLE
Get PDFThe paper deals with some experiences as gathered from our research in the area of the European Integration within the EU in general and with the current handling of the ongoing global economic and financial crisis in particular. That in addition to various other negative impacts on the Internal market of the EU has brought with itself also a direct thread to the very existence of its common currency Euro and the entire Eurozone and finally also the EU itself. The paper in more details presents some of the main reasons for these negative development and impact on Euro. It analyses some of the hectic and unsystematic reactions and measures as taken by the EU institutions in order to save its common currency from a total collapse and/or its splitting into two “sub-currencies” as a stronger north and weaker south Euro currencies, Eurozone extra “government”, etc. That all after the decade long total ignorance of the Maastricht Treaty and its convergence criteria for the common currency. If its criteria have been observed strictly by all Euro zone members including of course also by Germany and France and/or otherwise all being penalized including those latter ones by the EU institutions there would be no such a deep crisis of Euro as it has been going on for already more than seven years

Some current trends in support of e-gov by contemporary smart technologies
Get PDFSince its inception by the Lisbon strategy 2000 on e-Europe strategy and then its continuation through i2010 strategy up to now with the Horizon 2020 in support of the Innovative Europe 2020, the applications of smart ICT in the EU has passed a rather complex and sometimes also a quite controversial development .In general it has been hampered by several key factors like e.g. the original Lisbon strategy adopted in year 2000 has been adopted by then only 15 EU member states
while very soon the EU has been enlarged by 15 (2004) and then by another 2 (2007) mostly less developed CEECs and recently last year by another one new member up to current EU 28.The other and a very negative factor has been a lethal and still ongoing Euro crisis that since its start in year 2008 has substantially and quite negatively influenced priorities and also financial means for the Union’s strategies related to the future EU as the most advanced and innovative Union being based on the knowledge based economy and information society.In the following parts of this paper we are dealing with the current status as achieved in
the development of the future EU as the e-Europe as well as we are trying to find the ways and means how to accelerate the entire development in this respect within the selected ten sectors of the future e-Europe.

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
