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
Glosa do postanowienia Sądu Najwyższego z dnia 13 kwietnia 2005 r., sygn. III KK 23/05
Full text linkThe Supreme Court in commented decision claims, that the worker within the meaning of art. 220 § 1 c.c. is a worker within the meaning of the labour law provisions (a person who is specified in art. 2 l.c. as well as art. 22 l.c.). The author share this point of view, and gives additional arguments supporting this thesis; he shares an opinion, that in omission crimes, specific legal duty to prevent the negative effect of crime (in consequential crimes), may come from the decrees to the acts; the author claims – regardless of the above – that this duty may come from some other legal acts
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
Glosa do postanowienia SN z 30 maja 2017 roku, IV KK 164/17
Full text linkCOMMENTARY ON THE DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF 30 MAY 2017, IV KK 164/17The author indicates that it is possible — in a certain state of things — to approve the claim of Article 160 § 1 of the Criminal Code that the immediacy of danger should be associated not so much with the temporal proximity of the effect that may occur in relation to the development of the situation, as with the condition when the inevitable consequence of the further development of the situation without the need for any new dynamizing factors constitutes a risk to one’s life or health.Nevertheless, the author cites and shares the view expressed in the doctrine that four views of criteria of directness can be distinguished in the perspective of imminent danger, based on a time element, an element of probability, an element of sufficient cause, an element of inevitability; sometimes some of the given elements are combined or used alternatively in the determination of immediacy A. Spotowski, Funkcja niebezpieczeństwa w prawie karnym, Warszawa 1990, p. 82. Each separate situation requires — in the perspective of examining whether there exists an “immediate danger” — reference to specific, existing circumstances. The author considers it right that in order to attribute the responsibility to the perpetrator for unintentional crime it is not enough to say that he had been careless. It is necessary to demonstrate that he was aware that his behavior can lead to the prohibited act provided such a possibility, or, did not provide for such possibility, although it could have been provided. The author rejects the view that the crime specified in Article 160 § 1 of the Criminal Code can be committed only by action because in the perspective of this deed — which he proves in the commentary — two forms may exist: action or omission.

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
Employment contract termination without notice due to employee’s fault resulting from committing an evident offence
No full textThe article focuses on the termination of the contract of employment without notice, due to employee’s fault, because of the commission of the obvious crime, during the contract of employment; the crime disallows the further employment on the workplace (what is definied in art. 52 § 1 point 2 L.C.). The author comes to the conclusion, that a obvious crime is a crime which existence is certain, undisputed, there is no objective doubts as to its existence, the evidence of its commission do not raise any doubt; facts of the case ensures, that the employee has committed a crime. The obvious crime is also characterized by the fact, that it make impossible further employment of an employee who committed this obvious crime on the workplace. This impossibility should not be an objective impossibility to continue the employment on the workplace, but in common sense, should argue for an immediate removal this employee from his workplace. However, the author takes the assumption that art. 52 § 1 point 2 L.C. is not compatible with art. 42 paragraph 3 of the Constitution, because it violates the principle of the presumption of innocence. It allows for the assignment of a crime (obvious) to the employee, even though there is no final judgment of the court
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
