Attitudes of Spanish speakers in Sweden towards code-switching
No full textEl multilingüismo se ha vuelto más común hoy en día debido a la globalización y las redes sociales en Internet. Cuando una persona bilingüe mezcla dos idiomas en la misma oración, se llama cambio de código. El objetivo de esta investigación es investigar la actitud hacia el cambio de código entre los hispanohablantes residentes en Suecia y la frecuencia con la que lo utilizan. Al utilizar la variable edad, estamos investigando si el uso y las actitudes difieren según la edad del informante. El estudio se realizó en Suecia. Los métodos aplicados fueron un cuestionario en Google Forms y tres entrevistas. Con base en el análisis, descubrimos que el cambio de código sirve para múltiples propósitos. Descubrimos que cuanto más jóvenes eran los informantes, más común era el cambio de código. También descubrimos que losinformantes de 25 a 49 años tienen una actitud más positiva del uso del cambio decódigo con la familia y los amigos, mientras que el uso del cambio de código en el trabajo o en la escuela es más aceptado por los informantes de 50 años en adelante. Todos nuestros informantes coincidieron en que el cambio de código enriquece el intercambio cultural en Suecia.Multilingualism has become more common nowadays due to globalization and social media on the Internet. When a bilingual person mixes two languages in the same sentence it is called code-switching. The aim of this research is to investigate the attitude towards code-switching among Spanish speakers residing in Sweden and how frequently they use it. By using the variable age, we are investigating if the use and the attitudes differ by the age of the informant. The study was made in Sweden. The methods applied were a questionnaire in Google Forms and three interviews. Based on the analysis, we found that code-switching serves multiple purposes. We found out that the younger the informants were, the more common it was to code-switch. We also discovered that the informants aged 25-49 years have a more positive attitude towards using code-switching with family and friends, while the use of code-switching at work or at school is more accepted by informants from 50 years old and up. All our informants agreed to the fact that code-switching enriches the cultural exchange in Sweden

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
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
