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
Stress and resilience in kindergarten hospital ward pre-school teachers
No full textVzgojitelji v bolnišničnih oddelkih vrtcev so ključni člen zdravstvenega in vzgojno-izobraževalnega sistema. Vsakodnevno se srečujejo z zahtevnimi in kompleksnimi nalogami, ki od njih zahtevajo visoko mero strokovnosti, empatije in občutka odgovornosti. Takšno delo prinaša številne izzive, med katerimi je eden najpogostejših in pomembnejših ravno stres. Izvira lahko iz različnih dejavniki, kot so psihična in fizična obremenitev, odgovornostjo do otrok, nenehne spremembe na delovnem mestu, prostorske in kadrovske stiske, smrti, nestalnost otrok … Stres, ki ga doživljajo vzgojitelji, ima pomembne posledice na njihovem psihičnem in fizičnem zdravju, hkrati pa negativno vpliva na njihovo kakovost in storilnost na delovnem mestu. Med posamezniki pa obstajajo razlike v sposobnosti obvladovanju stresa, kar je povezano s konceptom rezilientnosti. Slednje označuje posameznikovo sposobnost, da se učinkovito spopada s stresnimi in nepričakovanimi situacijami, pri tem pa ohrani dobo počutje ter se hitro povrne na prejšnje stanje ali pa se prilagodi novim okoliščinam. Razumevanje stresa, razvoj rezilientnosti in nenehno strokovno izpopolnjevanje pomembno prispeva k ohranjanju in izboljševanju kakovosti pedagoškega dela ter zagotavljanju dobrega počutja zaposlenih v bolnišničnih oddelkih.
V okviru magistrskega dela smo želeli izvedeti, kako se vzgojitelji bolnišničnih oddelkov spopadajo s stresom in razvijajo svojo rezilientnost. V ta namen smo izvedli raziskavo, v kateri je sodelovalo 18 anketirancev ter 9 intervjuvank. Želeli smo ugotoviti, kateri stresorji so prisotni pri njihovem delu, kako stresno je njihovo delo ter na kakšen način razvijajo rezilientnost pri sebi. Zanimal nas je tudi njihov pogled na rezilientnost in profesionalni razvoj. Z anketo smo pridobili splošen vpogled v stresnost dela, nato pa smo ga z intervjuji še poglobili in pridobili podrobnejši ter bolj oseben vpogled vsakega posameznika.
Rezultati so pokazali, da je dojemanje stresa močno povezano z delovno dobo, bolnišničnih oddelkom ter osebnostnimi lastnostmi posameznega vzgojitelja. Več kot imajo vzgojitelji delovnih izkušenj, manj stresa doživljajo. K temu pripomorejo izkušnje, prilagodljivost, vzdržljivost, odgovornost, rezilientnost ter želja po profesionalnem razvoju. Vzgojitelji zase menijo, da so rezilientni, slednje pa se kaže kot želja po iskanju novih rešitev, razumevanju svojih čustev in odzivov na nepredvidljive situacije. Kljub temu da težke situacije sprejemajo kot del njihovega dela, pa se jih velikokrat tudi čustveno dotaknejo. Pri tem pa poudarjajo pomen kvalitetnih, pristnih in sodelovalnih odnosov znotraj pedagoških in zdravstvenih timov na posameznih oddelkih.Teachers in hospital kindergarten ward are a key component of the healthcare and educational system. They encounter demanding and complex tasks daily, requiring a high level of professionalism, empathy, and a sense of responsibility from them. Such work brings numerous challenges, among which one of the most common and significant is stress. It can originate from various factors, such as psychological and physical strain, responsibility towards children, constant changes in the workplace, spatial and staffing constraints, deaths, instability of children, and more. The stress experienced by teachers has significant consequences on their psychological and physical health, while also negatively impacting their quality and performance in the workplace. However, there are differences among individuals in their ability to manage stress, which is associated with the concept of resilience. Resilience denotes an individual\u27s ability to effectively cope with stressful and unexpected situations while maintaining their well-being and quickly returning to previous states or adapting to new circumstances. Understanding stress, developing resilience, and continuous professional development significantly contribute to maintaining and improving the quality of pedagogical work and ensuring the well-being of employees in hospital departments.
In this master’s thesis we investigated how kindergarten teachers in hospital ward cope with stress, and we conducted a research study which involved 18 respondents and 9 interviewees. We aimed to determine the stressors present in their work, how stressful their work is, and how they develop resilience within themselves. We were also interested in their views on resilience and professional development. Through the survey, we gained a general insight into the stressfulness of their work, and then through interviews, we delved deeper and obtained a more detailed and personal insight from everyone.
The results showed that the perception of stress is strongly associated with work experience, hospital ward, and the personality traits of the individual teachers. The more experience teachers have, the less stress they experience. This is influenced by experience, adaptability, endurance, responsibility, resilience, and a desire for professional development. Teachers perceive themselves as resilient, which is evident in their desire to seek new solutions, understand their emotions and responses to unpredictable situations. Despite accepting difficult situations as part of their work, they are often emotionally affected by them. They emphasize the importance of quality, authentic, and collaborative relationships within pedagogical and healthcare teams in individual departments
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
Phisical activities of children and their parents before and during covid-19 pandemics
Get PDFThe purpose of the diploma thesis was to find out how measures to COVID-19 impacted physical activity of Preschool children and their parents. In the research we included 131 parents of children between 1 and 6 years old. In the acquired sample we tested how physical activity of parents and children before the pandemic and how activity changed as a result of measures to COVID-19. We looked into the change of children’s interest in physical activities before and during the pandemic. Data was collected through online questionnaire which we then shared with parents on various social media platforms. The questionnaire was active in January 2021. Results were analyzed with the computer program Microsoft Excel. We analyzed the data in three phases. In the first phase, we processed the data numerically and checked the difference in the frequency and in time spent on physical activity before and during the pandemic. In the second phase, we calculated the percentages in order to determine differences in previously mentioned variables. In the last phase, we presented the results using graphs and tables. We also added the interpretation of every graph and table and then compared our results with other research and literature that we found on similar topics.
The analysis showed that the frequency of physical activities of children and parents changed, namely in 55 % of respondents. In 44 % of respondents the frequency of physical activities decreased, while in 11 % of respondents the frequency increased. The research also showed that 44 % of respondents also reduced the time spent on physical activity between half an hour and one hour. We also found out that the interest in physical activity in children changed due to COVID-19 measures. The change in interest was both positive and negative
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
