    I dagsläget finns det begränsat med svenska studier som belyser riskfaktorer vad gäller att unga män utövar olika former av våld i par- eller dejtingrelationer. Uppsatsen är en litteraturöversikt där 13 artiklar inkluderats och analyserats tematiskt. Studiens syfte är att undersöka vilka riskfaktorer som i tidigare forskning identifierats som centrala för utövandet av våld i intima relationer hos unga män mellan 10 – 26 år.  Analysen visar på flera riskfaktorer på olika nivåer, vilka bedöms centrala för utövandet av våld hos unga män. På individnivå förekommer faktorer som kön, känslor, makt och kontroll samt alkohol och droger. Riskfaktorer i barndomen utgörs av att bevittna och utsättas för våld i hemmet. Analysen visar även på riskfaktorer utanför individen och familjen där faktorer som skola, vänner, grannskap, samhället och normer samspelar. Resultatet belyser att våld i ungas relationer är ett komplext problem där flera riskfaktorer överlappar varandra. Detta är varför det praktiska sociala arbetet behöver utveckla och innehålla preventiva insatser på flera nivåer, samt över tid och inte enbart fokusera på insatser som vänder sig till individer när våldet redan är ett faktum.  Currently, there are limited Swedish studies that shed light on risk factors of young men perpetrating different forms of violence in couple- or dating relationships. The essay is a literature review in which 13 articles are included and analyzed thematically. The purpose of the study is to investigate which risk factors that have been identified in previous research as central for the development of violent behavior in partner or dating relationships in young men between the ages of 10 and 26. The analysis shows several risk factors at different levels, which are considered central to use violence. At the individual level, there are factors such as gender, emotions, power and control as well as alcohol and drugs. Risk factors in childhood consist of the influence of witnessing and being exposed to violence at home. The analysis also shows risk factors outside the individual and the family where factors such as school, friends, neighbourhood, society and norms interrelate. The results show that violence in young individuals relationships is a complex problem where several risk factors overlap, which is why practical social work needs to develop and contain preventive efforts at several levels, as well as over time, and not only focus on efforts that address individuals when the violence is already a fact.

    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
