project relationLa ricerca di Veit Stratmann utilizza il non realizzato e il concetto di non realizzabilità come strumento per affrontare - in linea con una tradizione concettuale - criticamente discorsi politici o economici-politici, spesso legati al concetto di sicurezza e alle strutture del potere, tentando di dare una forma chiara al discorso e mettendo in discussione il ruolo stesso dell’artista, riflettendo sull’impossibilità e l’inefficienza come elementi per la produzione di un progetto. The Rhine Swing consiste in una gigantesca altalena pensata per oscillare sopra il fiume Reno, tra le località di Daubensand (Alsazia, Francia) e Schwanau (Baden, Germania), luogo individuato dall’artista per la relativamente ridotta ampiezza del fiume così come per la bellezza del paesaggio. Rappresentazione - non priva di ironia - della cooperazione Franco-Tedesca, questo progetto contiene una prima analisi di fattibilità attraverso uno studio delle modalità di accesso, di funzionamento, di utilizzo e delle necessità di sicurezza, studio che si rivela strumento per l’artista funzionale a una critica in primis della forma progettuale e più in generale delle dinamiche economico-politiche in atto tra i paesi europei.Veit Stratmann research makes use of the unrealised and the concept of unrealisability as a tool to deal with - in line with a conceptual tradition - political or economic-political
discourses, often connected with the concept of security and with the structures of power, from a critical point of view and trying to give a clear form to the discourse while questioning the role of the artist himself, reflecting on impossibility and inefficiency as elements for the production of a project. The Rhine Swing is a project for a giant swing to be placed over the Rhine River, between the locations of Daubensand (Alsace, France) and Schwanau (Baden, Germany), a site identified by the artist for the relatively low amplitude of the river as well as the beauty of the landscape. A representation - not without irony - of the Franco-German cooperation, this project contains a first feasibility analysis through a study of the modalities of access, operation and use together with the security requirements, a study which reveal himself as a functional tool for the artist to criticise the design method and, more generally, the economic and political dynamics between the European countries
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
