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
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
Healthcare for children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia
No full textUvod: Vsako prezgodnje rojstvo otroka prikrajša tako za njegov anatomski kot tudi za njegov fiziološki razvoj v maternici, dolgoročno gledano pa mu brez dvoma oteži uspešno in učinkovito pripravo na življenje izven nje. V takih okoliščinah je otrok izpostavljen povečani ravni tveganja za pojav in nadaljnji razvoj različnih zdravstvenih in razvojnih težav. Po rojstvu je število zapletov ravno pri prezgodaj rojenih novorojenčkih toliko večje predvsem zaradi njihove izrazito nizke porodne teže, možna so tudi neprijetna tveganja. Med najbolj poznanimi kliničnimi težavami, ki pestijo prezgodaj rojene novorojenčke, so obporodno dušenje, dihalne težave, hipotermija, hipoglikemija in hiperglikemija, anemija, težave s prehranjevanjem, počasno pridobivanje telesne teže, okužbe, nevrološke težave, povečano tveganje za sindrom nenadne dojenčkove smrti in veliko drugega. Zaplet, ki je v zadnjih letih deležen veliko pozornosti, je bronhopulmonalna displazija (BPD), ki je v strokovnem svetu poznana kot najpogostejša in neželena kronična pljučna bolezen, ki se razvije pri nedonošenčkih. Povzroči težje dolgotrajne posledice, saj so pljuča spremenjena, dihalne poti in pljučno žilje pa majhnega obsega. Zaradi navedenega je potrebno otroku zagotoviti dolgotrajno zdravljenje s kisikom, v določenih okoliščinah tudi dihalno podporo z aparati, pri tem pa nadobudno paziti, da se preprečujejo morebitne okužbe in se dela na izboljšavi telesne zmogljivosti. V kolikor želimo prezgodaj rojenega otroka obdržati pri življenju, zmanjšati število morebitnih zapletov in nuditi učinkovito podporo v teh, zanj kritičnih trenutkih, je potrebno zagotoviti natančen zdravstveni pristop, v enotah za intenzivno nego in terapijo novorojenčkov prepoznati njegove potrebe ter spremljati in nuditi ustrezno zdravljenje vse do trenutka, ko se doseže otrokova funkcionalna zrelost. Ustrezna zdravstvena nega in strokovno podkovano osebje sta ključnega pomena v celotnem procesu oskrbe novorojenčka z izredno nizko porodno težo. Namen: S pomočjo diplomskega dela smo želeli ugotoviti dejansko vlogo zdravstvenega osebja, ki s strokovno naravnano zdravstveno nego nudi podporo otroku in njegovim staršem, zagotavlja izboljšano kakovost življenja, otroka spremlja na poti okrevanja, obenem pa učinkovito znižuje stroške zdravljenja v bolnišničnem okolju. Obenem smo želeli izpostaviti tudi pomen preventivne dejavnosti, ki lahko številne neželene zaplete in tveganja prepreči. Rezultati: Strokovne študije so dokazale, da v kolikor novorojenčku zagotovimo ustrezno in predano zdravstveno nego ob uporabi zahtevnih naprav, ima novorojenček večje možnosti za preživetje, pri tem pa se zmanjša število zapletov. Razprava in zaključek: Po opravljeni študiji strokovne literature smo ugotovili, da je dobro organizirana zdravstvena oskrba ključnega pomena že v času nosečnosti, ki deluje na preventivi in zmanjšanju tveganj za nastanek neželenih posledic. Centralizacija zdravljenja je eden od ključnih dejavnikov pri učinkovitem spopadanju s težavami, ki se pojavijo zaradi otrokovega prezgodnjega rojstva.Introduction: Any premature birth deprives the child of both its anatomical and physiological development in the womb, and in the long run, without a doubt, a child may have difficulty adjusting to a life outside the womb in an efficient and successful way. In such circumstances, the child is exposed to an increased level of risk of the occurence and further development of various health and developmental issues. The number of possible complications after birth is particularly high in preterm infants, mainly due to their extremely low birth weight, along with other possible unpleasant risks. Among some of the most well-known clinical problems, affecting preterm newborns, are postnatal choking, respiratory issues, hypothermia, hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia, anemia, eating disorders, slow weight gain, infections, neurological problems, increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome and many others. A complication that has received significant attention in recent years is no doubt Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), known in the academic world as a form of the most common and unwanted chronic lung disease that affects newborns, most often those who are born prematurely. There is severe and significant long-term impairment of pulmonary function, as the lungs are altered and the airways, including pulmonary vessels, are reduced in size. Due to the above, it is necessary to provide the child with long-term oxygen therapy and in certain circumstances to give respiratory support with adequate devices. These special measures should be taken to prevent possible infections and at the same time to improve physical performance. In order to keep preterm infants alive, reduce the number of potential complications and offer efficient support at these critical moments, it is essential to ensure a precise healthcare approach and supportive care, identify their needs in neonatal intensive care units, and finaly monitor and provide appropriate treatment until the child\u27s functional maturity is reached. Adequate professional nursing care and both highly trained and skilled nurse staff are crucial throughout the entire process when it comes to caring for a newborn with extremely low birth weight. Purpose: With the help of the diploma work we wanted to determine and identify the actual role of the healthcare staff, who through profesionally oriented healthcare provide support to the child and his parents, ensure an improved quality of life, and accompany the child on the road to recovery, while effectively reducing the cost of treatment in the hospital setting. At the same time, it was our wish to highlight the importance of preventive action, which can put a stop to many adverse events and risks. Results: Expert studies have shown that if a newborn is given appropriate and dedicated healthcare while working with sophisticated equipment and devices, it no doubt increases the newborn\u27s chances of survival, while reducing a high number of complications. Discussion and conclusion: After producing a literature review, we found out that well-organized healthcare is of particular importance already during pregnancy since it works to prevent and reduce the risk of unwanted consequences. Centralisation of treatment is one of the key factors in effectively dealing with the problems caused by premature birth

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.
