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
Inventory management in Valio Eesti AS
Get PDFKäesoleva bakalaureusetöö eesmärgiks on leida Valio Eesti AS-i moosi- ja pakkematerjalide
varude haldamise paremad võimalused, et pika ja mitmekesise tooteportfelliga ettevõttel
teostada varude juhtimist võimalikult praktiliselt ja tulemuslikult.
Ettevõtte põhitegevuseks on piimatoodete tootmine, tootmistegevuse arendamine ja
piimatoodete turustamine. Valio Eesti AS-s toodetakse üle 300 erineva värskepiimatoote ja
juustusordi. Valio Eesti AS tuntumad brändid on Alma, Gefilus, Atleet, Gouda ja Forte.
Bakalaureusetöös on antud ülevaade varudest, varude juhtimise vajadustest ja
võimalikkusest. Töös on kirjeldatud erinevaid varude juhtimise meetodeid ja nende
meetodite koostöötamise sünergiat. Samuti on iseloomustatud varude täiendamise võimalusi
ning optimaalse tellimiskoguse leidmist.
Töö sisaldab Valio Eesti AS-i tutvustavat ülevaadet tema tegevusalast, paiknemisest,
tooteportfellist, koostööpartneritest ja konkurentidest. Järgnevalt on kirjeldatud ettevõtte
varusid, analüüsitud varude struktuuri ja sellega seotud muutusi. Põhjalik ülevaade on antud
Valio Eesti AS-i moosi- ja pakkematerjalide varudest. Moosi- ja pakkematerjalide varudega
on teostatud analüüse erinevate meetoditega, et leida varude praktilisemaid haldamise
võimalusi. Moosi- ja pakkematerjalide varude tooteartiklitega on teostatud ABC analüüs,
XYZ analüüs, koostatud ABC-XYZ maatriks. Samuti on leitud olulisema väärtusega
mooside ja pakkematerjalide tooteartiklitele optimaalne tellimiskogus.
Varude juhtimine uuritavas ettevõttes on keeruline. Turu nõudluse muutus on väga kiire,
samuti laieneb ettevõtte tooteportfell hoogsasti. Otstarbekamate ja objektiivsemate tulemuste
saavutamiseks oleks vajalik niisugune analüüsidepakett läbi viia 2-4 korda aastas. See
võimaldaks Valio Eesti AS-is paindlikumalt ja tulemuslikumalt varusid hallata.The main goal of this bachelor's thesis is to discover a better solution for managing Valio
Eesti AS inventory of jam and packing material, so that its inventory management can be
performed practically and efficiently across a large and diverse product line.
This document provides an overview of inventory, reasons for managing inventory
effectively, and various options of inventory management. Multiple inventory management
methods are described with the synergies they provide. In addition, several options of reordering
inventory and the optimal order quantity have been discussed.
A review of Valio Eesti AS business areas, location, production lines, partners, and
competition in the industry has been provided. Furthermore, there is an analysis of Valio
Eesti AS inventory structure and on recent changes that have taken place.
This in depth discussion covers Valio Eesti AS jam and packing material inventory. Multiple
analyses have been performed on jam and packing material inventory to find the most
optimal management methods. Analyses that has been performed includes ABC analysis,
XYZ analysis, and a ABC-XYZ analysis matrix. The optimal order quantity has also been
found for jam and packaging materials through analysis.
Managing inventory in the underlying company is difficult. Market demand changes rapidly
and the company's product line is continuously expanding. For discovering advantageous and
objective solutions, this analysis needs to be performed at least 2-4 times every year. It would
provide an opportunity for Valio Eesti AS to be flexible and effective when managing its
inventory
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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 textWe 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
