The parties' possible duty of confidentiality in arbitral proceedings according to Austrian law
No full textDie Vertraulichkeit des Schiedsverfahrens wird häufig zu den wesentlichen Vorteilen dieser Art der alternativen Streitbeilegung gezählt. Verfahren bei staatlichen Gerichten sind dagegen nicht vertraulich. Während weitgehend anerkannt ist, dass Schiedsinstitutionen und die Mitglieder eines Schiedsgerichts die Vertraulichkeit des Verfahrens zu wahren haben, bleibt die Problematik der Vertraulichkeitspflicht der Schiedsparteien seit jeher umstritten. Die Ungewissheit lässt sich auf die mangelnden gesetzlichen Regelungen und die fehlende Judikatur in Österreich zurückführen. Aus dieser Tatsache darf jedoch nicht geschlossen werden, dass die Schiedsparteien keine Vertraulichkeitspflicht treffen kann. Demzufolge befasst sich die vorliegende Arbeit mit der Frage, ob die Schiedsparteien trotz uneinheitlicher Meinungen und Ansätze einer impliziten Vertraulichkeitspflicht unterliegen. Es wird primär untersucht, ob sich eine solche Vertraulichkeitspflicht der Parteien als Nebenpflicht der Schiedsvereinbarung ergibt, selbst wenn diese keine ausdrückliche Pflicht zur Geheimhaltung von vertraulichen Informationen vereinbart haben. Aufgrund der internationalen Relevanz der Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit werden zudem nicht-österreichische Regelungen, Meinungen und Gerichtsentscheidungen näher betrachtet, um einen Vergleich zu Österreich ziehen zu können.In comparison to state court proceedings, the confidentiality of arbitration is often regarded as one of the major advantages of this form of alternative dispute resolution. It is widely acknowledged that arbitrators and arbitral institutions are under a duty of confidentiality. Quite to the contrary, the question of whether the parties bear duties of confidentiality remains controversial. This uncertainty is caused by the lack of decisions and explicit legal provisions on this topic under Austrian Law. From that fact, however, one should not infer that no duty of confidentiality applies. Thus, the diploma thesis is primary dealing with the question whether the parties to an arbitration are under an implied duty of confidentiality, although there are no uniform views and approaches on this point. The author analyzes if such a duty of confidentiality is to be derived from an accessory obligation that arises out of the arbitration agreement, even where the parties have not explicitly agreed upon a duty of confidentiality. Due to the international relevance of arbitration, the diploma thesis further deals with non-Austrian legal provisions, opinions and case laws to perform a comparative analysis to Austria.vorgelegt von: Gernot WinterleitnerAbweichender Titel laut Übersetzung des VerfassersDiplomarbeit Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz 2016 R851

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
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
