Det skandinaviske 1700-tallsmotivet «pasjonsviseren» - Undersøkelser og behandling av et overmalt og endret maleri
No full textMotivet pasjonsviseren regnes som et av to særegne skandinaviske motiver innen en religiøs motivkrets og finnes bevart i form av både grafiske fremstillinger og malte eksemplarer.Vinteren 2013 ankom et av maleriene konserveringsstudiets atelier, og denne masteroppgaven omhandler innledende analyser og etterfølgende konserveringsbehandling av dette maleriet. Ved innledende undersøkelser var det mulig å spore en omfattende behandlingshistorikk. Spesielt utfordrende var omfanget av overmalinger som dekket originale fargestrukturer. Samtidig var de originale fargestrukturene dekket av en misfarget ferniss som spesielt påvirket de lyse og hvite fargeområdene. De innledende undersøkelsene kartla også originale materialer og maleriets tilstand. Maleriet gjennomgikk strukturell behandling, rensing og visuell reintegrering. Det var rensingen av overmalinger og ferniss som medførte de største utfordringene. Sannsynligvis var materialene oljeholdige, noe som trolig også var tilfelle for de originale underliggende fargestrukturene. Denne materialkombinasjonen resulterte i en løselighetsproblematikk. I tillegg var de originale fargestrukturene nedbrutte og overrenset ved en tidligere behandling. Overflaten var teksturert med ferniss og sekundære farger i fordypningene, og fargestrukturen som helhet var sensitiv ovenfor vann og løsemidler i kombinasjon med mekanisk bearbeidelse. Under rensingen ble det kontinuerlig lagt vekt på å undersøke og justere tilnærmingen for en mest mulig skånsom behandling. Det ble eksperimentert med ulike påføringsmetoder som bruk av pensel eller bomullspinne, grad av mekanisk bearbeidelse på overflate, virketid, intervaller mellom påføringer av rensemedier, påføringsrekkefølge og konsentrasjon på rensemedier satt opp mot graden av mekanisk bearbeidelse. På denne måten var det mulig å erfare potensialet som ligger i et enkelt rensemedium. Under arbeidet ble det valgt å utført en selektiv rensing av etiske og bevaringsmessige hensyn. Behandlingen ble begrenset til de lyse fargeområdene, samt de mest visuelt forstyrrende overmalingene. Det ble vektlagt å redusere fremfor å fjerne alt av sekundært materiale Det ligger imidlertid en stor grad av subjektivitet i dette valget av tilnærming. Derfor ble det foretatt en spørreundersøkelse hvor formålet var å få en mer generell vurdering om hva som ble ansett som det viktigst i motivet og hva som preget opplevelsen av motivet før behandlingen, om det var overmalinger, skader eller motivelementene
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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.
