The Perception of Not-for-Proft Organisations on Risks in Partnership with Czech, Sicilian and Castilian-Leonese Schools
No full textNon-proft sector and schools have different trajectories in the sphere of education and yet they both direct to the same goal – well-being of their target groups. What would happen if they joined their interests and transformed it into some kind of cooperation? Is it already happening and if so, how? This chapter focuses on the everyday reality of partnership between non-proft non-governmental organizations and schools, particularly in the area of inclusion of foreign language (FL) students in three European geographical areas – the Czech Republic, Castilla y León Autonomous Community of Spain, and Sicily in Italy. The three-year project aimed to map the extent of such cooperation and allowed us to identify moments that non-profts perceive as critical and that pose threats to a relationship. Our fndings were gained through text coding of openended questions in a questionnaire and were categorized followingly: (1) barriers in exchanging opinions and sharing good practices (2) the visibility of partnership in
teacher training (3) funding challenges (4) support from administration authorities. We believe that a constructive input or feedback from our partner can provide us with meaningful guidance to change our thinking and/or improve our current practice. Therefore, our fndings can serve as an internal audit for possible readjustment of the structure, processes or ethos of educational environments for all interested parties

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
Waves and climate change in the sea of the Hebrides
No full textThere is mounting evidence for the effects of climate change both globally and regionally. Global warming and sea level rise are now established but may appear insignificant locally, although the expected acceleration in rate may make this more noticeable. The most important issue for individuals and communities, who have to make decisions (based on existing evidence) about how to manage response to climate change, is the likely local impact. This may be in terms of secondary effects, e.g changes in rainfall, and may vary greatly from the global average. Wave height in the North Atlantic, as observed from in-situ and altimeter observations, has increased over the last quarter-century. The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) appears to be correlated with increasing wave height in the North Atlantic over recent decades. Prediction of future impacts requires understanding the role of such decadal oscillations and their likely future evolution as well as long-term trends in sea level and wave height due to global warming and possible rapid climate change scenarios. It is important to understand these effects on relatively small scales. Here we examine the impacts of changing wave climate on the rocky coast of NW Scotland, specifically the Sea of the Hebrides. The Sea of the Hebrides is the body of water that lies between the Outer and Inner Hebrides island groups in NW Scotland. The impact of any increase in wave height in the North Atlantic at the coastline will be most significant in this area Crofting, fishing, fish fanning and tourism are the most significant economic activities. Impacts of climate change in this area may include interference to ferries and fishing activity, changes in potential wave energy availability and changes in coastal erosion and habitats. Wave models provide a tool to study detailed impacts of various climate change scenarios. The model system used here comprises three nested models using both the PRO-WAM and SWAN models, from a V North Atlantic model, through a 7.5km Malin/Hebrides Shelf model to a 1.85km Sea of Hebrides model. This allows the effect of winds over the whole North Atlantic to be investigated while also studying the local coastal wave impact including refraction and shoaling around the Western Isles of Scotland and make the connection between the statistical results from altimeter data to the dynamics.</p
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
