    No full text
    Dr. Wilson T. Sowder (1910 – 2007) received his MD from the University of Virginia in 1932 and his master’s degree in public health from Johns Hopkins University in 1934. In 1940, he was assigned by the US secretary of the Navy to serve as a venereal control officer in Pensacola, Florida. At only 35 years of age, he was chosen to serve as state health officer of Florida, a position he held until 1974. During this oral history interview, Dr. Sowder reminisces about the early days of public health in Florida. He recalls working with the military and madams to combat sexually transmitted disease in Florida and outlines his role in creating and consolidating county health departments throughout the state. He talks about the importance of diplomacy, keeping public health out of politics, and reveals his tactics for approaching the legislature. He describes several political challenges he encountered, including conflicts with naturopathy over narcotics prescription privileges and the Department of Agriculture’s attempt to take over dairy inspections. He also talks about public health’s dwindling jurisdiction, including its loss of narcotics oversight and mental health. Finally, Dr. Sowder gives his thoughts on the importance of teaching the public to take responsibility for their healthcare

    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

    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
