No full textAutor tekstu, przywołując prywatne wspomnienia, szkicuje subiektywny portret Leszka Mądzika jako twórcy Sceny Plastycznej KUL. Wskazuje na metafizyczną głębię tego autorskiego teatru i na autobiograficzne źródła specyficznego klimatu spektakli, które postrzegać można jako swoistą grę życia i śmierci. Przywołując różne obszary działalności artystycznej Mądzika, podkreśla znaczenie, jakie miała jego osoba i dzieło dla Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego Jana Pawła II.
By referring to his private memories, the author sketches a subjective portrait of Leszek Mądzik as founder of Scena Plastyczna KUL. The author points to a metaphysical depth of the artist’s original theater and to autobiographical roots of the specific atmosphere of his productions, which may be perceived as involving an interplay between life and death. Having discussed different areas of Mądzik’s activity, the author stresses his importance, as a person and as an artist, to John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin
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
Ethics and Eudaimonology
No full textAlong the history of ethics there is a controversy concerning the subject-matter of ethics itself − is it focused on the ways of fulfilling one's life (happiness) or is it the normative theory of the moral duty? The author of the paper takes into considerations three concepts of ethics which were developed by Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas and Antonio Rosmini.
The classical model of replacing ethics by eudaimonology is presented by Aristotle. Eudaimonism is connected in his philosophy of the human praxis with conceiveing of good in terms of the end of human action (teleological concept of good). Eudaimonia consists in fulfillment of the human life as a whole. Therefore the ultimate end of the human life is understood as the immanent end of the human nature. Aristotle identifies the moral good with the good of the human nature (natural fallacy in ethics).
On the one hand the ethics of St. Thomas is dependent on the eudaimonistic views of Aristotle and on the other hand it goes beyond naturalism by pointing out the transcendent ultimate end of the human life which is idendified with God. In his theological thought St. Thomas Aquinas seeks to develop personalism. The good of person is the reason for an attitude of love on which the community of persons is founded. Because of the presence of the eudaimonistic and personalistic elements the ethics of Aquinas remains metodologically inconsistent.
Antonio Rosmini thanks to his inspiration by the ethical thought of I. Kant distinguishes two diffrent practical sciences: eudaimonology and ethics. He refuses, however, Kantian apriorism and acognitivism. The moral duty is justified by the data of the moral experience. For the essence of morality consists in recognition of a being in accordance with its axiological order. Eudaimonology deals with the subjective good which is related to the nature of subject and only ethics discovers the moral obligation of affirming good for its own sake (objective good)
The Guilt and Conscience. (An Ethical Commentary to the Epilogue of Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment)
Full text linkDostoyevsky’s famous novel Crime and Punishment can be interpreted as an argument with Nietzsche’s view on the genealogy of conscience. While Nietzsche believes that conscience is
a product of a disease and inhibits the will to power, Dostoevsky shows the situation of crossing the border as a source of moral illness and self-destruction of the human person. Crime and
Punishment, as well as Dostoevsky’s novel Demons and The Trial of F. Kafka, also criticize modern
and postmodern society, in which there is a strong trend, stimulated by psychoanalysis, to liberate
people from guilt. With reference to Martin Buber’s views, the author of the article formulates a thesis on the ontological nature of guilt, treating its confession as a necessary act of self-enlightenment in conscience.
Examining the structure of conscience in the context of guilt, a deeper level must be indicated, called synderesis in the scholastic tradition. Considering the elements of experience present in the
experience of conscience, the author criticizes the intellectualist interpretation of synderesis. He
takes into account the deep level of understanding of conscience in the category of heart made by
D. v. Hildebrand and the anamnesis category of J. Ratzinger
