zur Diskussion um eine gesetzliche Regelung der "Sterbehilfe"
No full textSoftcover, 92 S.: 11,00 €Softcover, 17x24Die rechtlichen Grundsätze für die »Sterbehilfe« sind seit langem in Wissenschaft, Praxis und Rechtsprechung umstritten. Ende 2004 haben das Bundesjustizministerium und die Enquete-Kommission »Ethik und Recht der modernen Medizin« des Bundestags Gesetzentwürfe vorgelegt, die sich in zentralen Fragen erheblich unterscheiden. Erfolgreich wird ein Gesetz nur sein, wenn man sich zuvor Klarheit verschafft, worum es bei der »Sterbehilfe« geht und wie die geltende Rechtslage ist. Volker Lipp untersucht deshalb eingehend das geltende Recht der »Sterbehilfe« und setzt sich auf dieser Grundlage mit den aktuellen Gesetzgebungsvorschlägen detailliert auseinander

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
Volker LIPP: Die Grundlagen des deutschen Unterhaltsrechts
Full text linkapplication/pdf本講演は，ドイツにおける扶養法の根拠を検討するものである。ここにいう根拠とは，扶養義務の社会・経済的あるいは倫理的な理由づけではなく，実定法における扶養義務の法解釈学的な根拠であり正当化を意味している。
本講演では，まず，実定扶養法の機能と意味，その歴史的生成過程，比較法的考察がなされ，その上で，現行扶養法の規律とその根拠が，子の扶養，親の扶養，その他の血族扶養および離婚後扶養の個別領域ごとに考察されている。
ドイツ民法制定当初は，婚姻と血族関係が扶養法の根拠であったが，現在では同性者間の生活パートナー関係と，婚外子の父母の共同の親性（gemeinsame Elternschaft）も扶養義務の根拠とされている。結論として，法律上の扶養義務は社会的関係や単なる生物学上の関係に直接的に基づくのではなく，基本的に，法律上の身分関係によって媒介された家族法上の責任であることが述べられている。departmental bulletin pape
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
