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
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
Sorte Får Verdiskapning av verdiløs ull
No full textNorge er et ull-land. Vi er opplært til å kle oss med ull innerst, gjerne i flere lag, og vi kjøper garn for en milliard kroner i året. Likevel blir ca. 80% av den norske ulla nedsortert og eksportert ut av landet. C2S regnes som den laveste kvaliteten av de forskjellige ullklassene, og gir ingen inntekt til bonden. Men innenfor denne klassen er det store variasjoner og mange muligheter for bedre ressursutnyttelse. Forskning har vist at ullfibre i forskjellig tykkelse har gode lyddempende egenskaper, og det er denne kvaliteten som ligger til grunn for verdiskapningen i denne oppgaven.
Etter prinsipper fra blant annet materialdrevet design har jeg jobbet med å utforske denne ullas muligheter og egenskaper, samt hvordan materialet i forskjellige former oppleves av mennesker. På bakgrunn av ullas gode lydabsorberende egenskaper ble “lyd i barnehagen” brukt som bakteppe for utforskningen.
Resultatet er en samling myke tepper laget av C2S-ull til bruk i barnehager, der unike produksjonsmetoder for ull er tatt i bruk. Teppene kan festes sammen eller brukes hver for seg, og baserer seg på prinsipper om lyddemping, lek med åpen ende, og taktile opplevelser.
Denne oppgaven er en studie av ulla som materiale, dens muligheter, og dens historie. Studien er også et forsøk på å bedre utnytte C2S, ullklassenes sorte får.Norway is a wool country. We are taught to dress in wool, preferably in several layers, and we spend a billion kroner a year on yarn. Nevertheless, about 80% of Norwegian wool is downgraded and exported out of the country. C2S is considered the lowest quality among the various wool classes and provides no income for the farmer. However, within this class, there are plenty of variations and a vast amount of opportunities for better resource utilization. Research has shown that wool fibers of different thicknesses have good sound-absorbing properties, and it is this quality that forms the basis for value creation in this project.
Following principles of material-driven design, I have worked to explore the possibilities and properties of this wool, as well as how the material in different forms is experienced by people. Given the wool’s excellent sound-absorbing properties, ”sound in the kindergarten” was used as the backdrop for the exploration.
The result is a collection of soft rugs made from C2S wool for use in kindergartens, where unique production methods for wool have been employed. The rugs can be connected together or used separately and are based on principles of sound absorption, open-ended play, and tactile experiences.
This project is a study of wool as a material, its possibilities, and its history. The study is also an attempt to better utilize C2S, the black sheep of the wool classes
Hide and seek : Ett utforskande av nya materialupplevelser i ull
No full textInformationen om att det bränns ull i mängder samtidigt som vi importerar ull talar sitt tydligaspråk att något behöver göras. Ull som är ett hållbart och 100% förnybart material med bådehistoriska och fantastiska egenskaper, vilket gör att det är ett enormt resursslöseri att brännaull som om det vore skräp. Det finns många eldsjälar inom fårbranchen som arbetar för atthitta lösningar för dessa problem. Ullklassificering, att ta fram en nationell agenda överullhantering och försök att öka intresset för ull i allmänhet står på agendan. Utifrån ett hållbarhetsperspektiv såväl som ett personligt intresse och utifrån mina år somstylist har jag undersökt ullens sinnliga egenskaper för att hitta nya materialupplevelser i ettav världens äldsta textila material. Klimatfrågan som är högst aktuell, vilket vi alla på ett ellerannat sätt måste förhålla oss till, samt mitt mål att göra min forskning tillgänglig för alla, göratt mitt arbete har relevans utifrån ett hållbart, samhällsmässigt och kunskapsmässigtperspektiv. Utifrån en materialdriven design, där materialets mening står för att väva in denkänslomässiga kopplingen svensk ull, vill jag med konstnärlig ansats ta mig an arbetet i attutforska, utvärdera och ifrågasätta mig själv. Basen i hela mitt arbete är den materialdrivnaprocessen där jag varvar material och användartester för att bidra med nyamaterialupplevelser av ull. Jag hoppas att mitt arbete gör att vi ser med nya ögon på ull ochatt våra associationer till svensk ull inte enbart ses som en stickad tjocktröja eller ett parlovikkavantar från en gången tid. Jag vill vidga perspektiv och inspirera till att se möjligheter iden materialskatt vi har runt hörnet.The information that wool is burned in quantities while we are importing wool speaks its clearlanguage, something needs to be done. Wool, which is a durable and 100% renewablematerial with both historical connections as well as fantastic properties, is a huge waste ofresources to burn as if it were rubbish. From a sustainability perspective as well as a personal interest, based on my years as astylist, I have investigated the sensual properties of the wool to find new materialexperiences in one of the world's oldest textile materials. The climate issue that is mostup-to-date, which we all have to relate to in one way or another, and that I want to make myresearch available to everyone, means that my work is relevant from a sustainabilityperspective. I have worked from a material-driven design, where the meaning of the material has beenimportant in order to weave the emotional connection to a material. With an artisticapproach, I wanted to take on my work in exploring, evaluating and questioning myself andmy work in a material-driven process, in which I turn materials and user tests to contributewith new material experiences of wool. I hope that my work contributes to seeing Swedishwool with new eyes. With new associations and perspectives. To see opportunities insteadof impossibilities
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
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.

The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law
No full textAbstract
The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals
