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
PREVENTION AND REHABILITATION OF TYPICAL INJURIES IN SPORTS CLIMBING
No full textSportsko penjanje postaje sve popularnije, privlačeći sve veći broj ljudi koji se žele uključiti u tu aktivnost. Međutim, zbog same prirode sporta, sportaši su izloženi različitim ozljedama, stoga je važno provoditi odgovarajuću prevenciju i rehabilitaciju kako bi se očuvala njihova sportska izvedba i smanjila mogućnost ponovnih ozljeda. Glavni cilj ovog diplomskog rada jest pružiti pregled najučestalijih ozljeda u sportskom penjanju i predložiti strategije koje će pomoći u prevenciji i rehabilitaciji tih ozljeda. U uvodu se predstavljaju osnovne informacije o sportskom penjanju i važnosti prevencije i rehabilitacije ozljeda. Nakon toga, drugi dio rada detaljno analizira ozljede koje se najčešće javljaju u sportskom penjanja. To uključuje ozljede šake i prstiju, ozljede lakta, ramena i koljena. Prekomjerno opterećenje, ponavljajući pokreti, loša tehnika i padovi su glavni uzroci tih ozljeda. Detaljno su opisani simptomi, dijagnostičke metode i klasifikacija ozljeda kako bi se pravilno identificirale i liječile. U posljednjem poglavlju rada iznesene su osnovne smjernice za prevenciju ozljeda u sportskom penjanju. To uključuje zagrijavanje prije aktivnosti, mijenjanje tipa treninga i jačanje mišića kako bi se pripremili za opterećenje, te pravilnu tehniku i opremu za trening. Također se ističe važnost edukacije sportaša o pravilnoj periodizaciji, važnosti pravilne prehrane i kvalitetnog odmora. Također je važno educirati sportaše o prevenciji i pravovremenom tretmanu ozljeda. Daljnja istraživanja mogu se usmjeriti na razvoj naprednih metoda prevencije i rehabilitacije kako bi se poboljšala sigurnost i izvedba sportaša u sportskom penjanju.Sport climbing is becoming more and more popular, attracting an increasing number of people who want to get involved in the activity. However, due to the very nature of sports, athletes are exposed to various injuries, therefore it is important to carry out appropriate prevention and rehabilitation in order to preserve their sports performance and reduce the possibility of repeated injuries. The main goal of this thesis is to provide an overview of the most common injuries in sport climbing and to propose strategies that will help in the prevention and rehabilitation of these injuries. The introduction presents basic information about sport climbing and the importance of injury prevention and rehabilitation. After that, the second part of the paper analyzes in detail the injuries that most often occur in the sport of climbing. These include hand and finger injuries, as well as elbow, shoulder and knee injuries. Overloading, repetitive movements, poor technique and falls are the main causes of these injuries. Symptoms, diagnostic methods and classification of injuries are described in detail in order to properly identify and treat them. In the last chapter of the paper, the basic guidelines for the prevention of injuries in sport climbing are presented. This includes warming up before activity, changing the type of training and strengthening the muscles to prepare for the load, and proper technique and equipment. The importance of educating athletes about proper periodization, the importance of proper nutrition and sufficient rest is also emphasized. Further research can be focused on the development of advanced prevention and rehabilitation methods to improve the safety and performance of sport climbing athletes
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
