What is the impact of interpersonal trust on a learning organization?
No full textVolkman, Sue
This study addresses the role of interpersonal trust in a learning organization. Theoretical foundations for the learning organization are drawn from work of Senge (2006). The study sample was obtained from 15 members of the board of directors from a merging congregation. Qualitative data was collected through focus groups and a meeting observation to determine the extent of interpersonal trust in productive working relationships. McAllister’s (1995) interpersonal trust survey was administered to determine levels of trust. Analysis concluded high levels of both cognitive-based and affect-based trust within the church board. Analysis from the data on the learning organization found five key elements of the learning organization in practice. Results conclude that interpersonal trust serves to facilitate organizational learning by strengthening productive working relationships. These relationships serve as the impetus for productive organizational outcomes
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
Overexpression of Actin in AcMNPV-Infected Cells Interferes with Polyhedrin Synthesis and Polyhedra Formation
No full textAbstractAutographa californicaM nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) terminates host protein synthesis during the late stage of infection, at approximately 14 hr postinfection (hpi). If infection takes place in the presence of cytochalasin D (CD), however, host actin synthesis is transiently stimulated and continues to be synthesized until approximately 30 hpi, and the hyperexpression of polyhedrin is delayed from about 20 hpi until about 36 hpi (S. N. Talhouk and L.E. Volkman,Virology182, 626–634, 1991; N. Wei and L.E. Volkman,Virology191, 42–48, 1992). To investigate whether these events are causally related, i.e., whether actin synthesis negatively affects polyhedrin synthesis, we constructed recombinant viruses that expressed actin at various levels during infection. We found that the expression of actin by a strong promoter interfered with polyhedrin synthesis at a posttranscriptional level. It also interfered with polyhedra formation, which may suggest a mechanism for the observed paucity of polyhedra in infected midgut columnar epithelial cellsin vivo
Spar
No full textKaren Volkman's award-winning collection Spar has as its central form a highly compressed, musical variant of the prose poem. Volkman develops a new lyric density that marries the immediacy of image-centered poetry to the rhythmic resources of prose. Her first poem begins, "Someone was searching for a Form of Fire," and this wild urge to seek form--and thus definition--in the most uncontainable of elements propels the book forward; each poem maps the mind's evolving positions in response to its variable and perilous encounters. Sometimes the encounter is romantic or purely carnal, a sensual landscape of human relations. At other times, nature itself has an almost humanly emotional connection to the speaker.Intro -- Create Desire -- I won't go in today -- Shrewd star -- The problem of these -- ''Why are you here'' -- If it be event -- Meet me two years -- More feet on more -- May -- What, I said -- There Comes a time -- What we know -- Kiss Me Deadly -- O verb, o void -- Lady of the lake -- August could ask -- Yellow drapes -- Although the paths -- There was a stare -- And when the nights -- It could be a bird -- Poem (My hayseed harlequin) -- Or would triumph -- Octaves, ovations -- The first greeting -- I was watching -- Now I promise -- When kiss spells -- Betrayal -- He deciphers -- Tender feather -- Yes the red flower -- A story left -- I never wish to -- Dear noon -- Shadow of a Doubt -- The rain falls -- Winter Abstract -- A light says why -- O coronet -- The end of the day -- Implorers, connivers -- What I meet of -- And the urge is less -- Poem (Black corners of winter) -- I have a friend -- To take, to make -- Do not think, beloved -- Lost he says -- Heroic Roses -- No noise subtracts -- I believe there is -- We did thingsKaren Volkman's award-winning collection Spar has as its central form a highly compressed, musical variant of the prose poem.

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
