    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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

    Kinerja Reproduksi Ternak Kuda Kerja di Kabupaten Bantul, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (Reproductive Performances of Working Mare at Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta Special Province)

    The experiment was conducted to determine reproductive performances of working mare at Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta Special Province. One hundred and fourten mares were used in the experiment coming from 94 respondens.Samples were collected from district of Sewon, Banguntapan and Pleret. The parameters observed were first mating age, service per conception (S/C), postpartum mating (PPM), foaling interval (F/I), body weight, working hours, andfeed consumption. The collected data were analyzed descriptively. The average of first mating age, service per conception (S/C), postpartum mating (PPM), foaling interval (FI) were 31.42±4.62 months, 2.85±0,81; 94.69±32.42days; 493.65 ± 43.01 days (ranged in 1-5 S/C; 35-180 days; 395-594 days); body weight, working hours, and feed consumption were 273.65±43.64 kg, 8 hours 11 minutes/day, 16.02±2.17 kg respectively. The conclusion of theexperiment were that the reproductive performances of working horse at Bantul Regency in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta is generally less than the normal performances reproductive of horse.(Key words: Reproduction performance, Working horse, Bantul Regency

    Suplementasi Hormon Gonadotropin Pada Medium Maturasi In Vitro Untuk Meningkatkan Perkembangan Embrio Stadium 4 Sel Kambing Bligon

    The study was carried out to investigate the effect of gonadotropin hormone supplementation into in vitro maturation medium on maturation, fertilization and embryo development of Bligon goats. This research steps consist of oocyte collection, in vitro maturation, in vitro fertilization, and in vitro embryo development. At the maturation stage the oocyte that had been collected and divided into two groups based on the maturation medium, that was tissue culture medium (TCM) with supplementation of GnRH 0 IU/mL and GnRH 25 IU/mL. Oocyte and embryo morphology data were analyzed descriptively. Maturation rate and embryo development data were analyzed by using independent sample t-test. Fertilization data was analyzed descriptively. The result showed the percentages of mature oocytes from gonadotropin supplementation of 0 IU/mL and 25 IU/mL were 54.10±25.97 and 54.89±26.44%, respectively. Expansion cumulus cells surrounding the oocytes might indicated the mature oocytes. Cleavage rate of the 2 cells stage were 13,02±11,09 and 27,01±16,65%; respectively, and for the 4 cells stage were 10,16±10,01% and 16,67±14.91%. Embryos obtained from the treatment, indicated uniform of blastomeres in the size, tight, compact, intact, and round-spherical shape. It could be concluded that supplementation of gonadotropin hormone into in vitro maturation medium could not increase the rate of oocyte maturation and 4 cell embryo development, but it could increase 2 cell embryo development of Bligon goats. Hormone supplementation could improved the maturation and embryo quality

    Supplementation of Follicle Stimulating Hormon Into In vitro Maturation Medium to Increase Oocytes Maturation and 4 Cell Stadium Embryo Development of Bligon Goat

    The study was carried out to investigate the effect of follicle stimulating hormon (FSH) into in vitro maturation medium to increase oocytes maturation and 4 cell stadium embryo development of Bligon goat. Goat ovaries were obtained from a slaughterhouse and transported to the laboratory in a flask of NaCl at temperature of 31 – 34°C. Oocytes were aspirated from 2 – 6 mm of follicles into a 3 mL syringe (23G needle) that contained Dulbecco’s Phosphate-Buffered Saline. Oocytes were divided into three groups, i.e tissue culture medium (TCM) with FSH supplementation 0, 50, and 100 IU/mL. Oocytes were put into those medium and incubated on 39°C, 5% CO2, and 95% humidity for 24 hours. Matured oocytes were fertilized with capacitated frozen thawed-semen and incubated on 39°C, 5% CO2, and 95% humidity for 5 hours. Fertilized oocytes were washed for 3 times in TCM and incubated in the same condition for embryo culture. The data of FSH supplementation and embryo development were analyzed using randomized completely one way classification. The results showed that the percentages of mature oocytes from FSH supplementation 0, 50, and 100 IU/mL were 70,48±23,22, 78,48±15,80, and 80,29±12,86%, respectively. Cleavage rate of the two cells stage were 36,00±14,22, 44,00±33,94, and 57,45±31,78%, respectively, and for the 4 cells stage were 27,33±22,04, 35,33±40,73, and 39,45±20,38%. It is concluded that supplementation of FSH in the maturation medium could not increase the percentages of in vitro maturation and embryo development

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We 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
