Variations on the Author
No full text“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
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Robustness of Triple Sampling Inference Procedures to Underlying Distributions
No full textIn this study, the sensitivity of the sequential normal-based triple sampling procedure for estimatingthe population mean to departures from normality is discussed. We assume only that the underlyingpopulation has finite but unknown first six moments. Two main inferential methodologies areconsidered. First point estimation of the unknown population mean is investigated where a squarederror loss function with linear sampling cost is assumed to control the risk of estimating the unknownpopulation mean by the corresponding sample measure. We find that the behaviour of the estimatorsand of the sample size depends asymptotically on both the skewness and kurtosis of the underlyingdistribution and we quantify this dependence. Moreover, the asymptotic regret of using the triplesampling inference instead of the fixed sample size approach, had the nuisance parameter beenknown, is a finite but non-vanishing quantity that depends on the kurtosis of the underlyingdistribution. We also supplement our findings with a simulation experiment to study the performanceof the estimators and the sample size in a range of conditions and compare the asymptotic and finitesample results. The second part of the thesis deals with constructing a triple sampling fixed widthconfidence interval for the unknown population mean with a prescribed width and coverage whileprotecting the interval against Type II error. An account is given of the sensitivity of the normal-basedtriple sampling sequential confidence interval for the population when the first six moments areassumed to exist but are unknown. First, triple sampling sequential confidence intervals for the meanare constructed using Hall’s (1981) methodology. Hence asymptotic characteristics of the constructedinterval are discussed and justified. Then an asymptotic second order approximation of a continuouslydifferentiable and bounded function of the stopping time is given to calculate both asymptoticcoverage based on a second order Edgeworth asymptotic expansion and the Type II error probability.The impact of several parameters on the Type II error probability is explored for various continuousdistributions. Finally, a simulation experiment is performed to investigate the methods in finite samplecases and to compare the finite sample and asymptotic results
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Por uma tradução do mais antigo texto em Íidiche: Yousef HaTsadik de 1382
No full textEste artigo apresenta a tradução e análise do texto Yousef haTsadik ("José, o Justo"), parte do códice T.-S 10k22, integrante da Coleção Taylor-Schechter da Universidade de Cambridge. Esse códice, conhecido como Yiddish Codex, inclui os mais antigos textos conhecidos em ídiche, datados de 1382. O texto traduzido, de caráter devocional e poético, reflete os valores éticos e espirituais do judaísmo medieval e pertence ao gênero "épico midrashico", que combina temas bíblicos e tradições pós-bíblicas em forma de épico. A análise paleográfica, contextual e laboratorial confirma sua origem asquenazita no Sacro Império Romano-Germânico. A tradução foi baseada em uma cópia digitalizada do manuscrito, permitindo avanços na interpretação paleográfica e soluções literárias que respeitam a fidelidade e o estilo do texto original
