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
The genre-composition and linguistic features of Bohdan Zholdakʼs screenplay “Ukry”
No full textУ цій роботі аналізуються жанрово-композиційні та мовні особливості сценарію Богдана Жолдака «Укри» як одного з найвиразніших прикладів сучасної української бойової прози. У циклі новел, що охоплює сценарій, зображено воєнні події періоду антитерористичної операції на Донбасі (2014–2018). У новелах реалістично відтворюються військові операції, повсякденне життя військових і цивільного населення, а також психологічні аспекти війни. Робота складається з трьох розділів. У першому розділі розглядається літературний контекст і творчість Богдана Жолдака з особливою увагою до його стилю та внеску в сучасну українську літературу. У другому розділі детально аналізуються наративна структура, тематичні особливості та персонажі, при цьому акцент робиться на жанровому розмаїтті твору – від бойової прози до гротеску й чорного гумору. У третьому розділі аналізуються мовні та стилістичні особливості твору з акцентом на використання військової термінології, фразеологізмів та експресивної лексики. Проведене дослідження підтверджує, що «Укри» – це не лише зображення воєнної реальності, а й літературний експеримент, у якому автор поєднує іронію, реалізм та драматизм, пропонуючи унікальний погляд на війну з перспективи військових і цивільних.U ovom se radu analiziraju žanrovsko-kompozicijske i jezične značajke scenarija Bogdana Žoldaka Ukri kao jednog od najupečatljivijih primjera suvremene ukrajinske ratne proze. U ciklusu novela koje obuhvaća scenarij prikazana su ratna zbivanja perioda antiterorističke operacije na Donbasu (2014. – 2018.). U novelama se realistično prikazuju vojne operacije, svakodnevni život vojnika i civilnog stanovništva, ali i psihološki aspekti rata. Rad se sastoji od tri poglavlja. U prvom poglavlju razmatra se književni kontekst i stvaralaštvo Bogdana Žoldaka s posebnim osvrtom na njegov stil i doprinos suvremenoj ukrajinskoj književnosti. U drugom poglavlju detaljno se analiziraju narativna struktura, tematske osobitosti i likovi, pri čemu se naglasak stavlja na njegovu žanrovsku raznolikost – od ratne proze do groteske i crnog humora. U trećem se poglavlju analiziraju jezične i stilske značajke djela s posebnim fokusom na uporabu vojne terminologije, frazeologizama i ekspresivnog leksika. Provedeno istraživanje potvrđuje da Ukri nisu samo prikaz ratne stvarnosti, već i književni eksperiment u kojem autor kombinira ironiju, realizam i dramatiku, pružajući jedinstven uvid u rat iz perspektive vojnika i civila.This thesis analyzes the genre-compositional and linguistic features of Bogdan Zholdak’s screenplay Ukry as one of the most striking examples of contemporary Ukrainian war prose. The cycle of short stories presented in the screenplay portrays the events of the Anti-Terrorist Operation in Donbas (2014–2018). The stories realistically depict military operations, the everyday lives of soldiers and civilians, as well as the psychological aspects of war. The thesis consists of three chapters. The first chapter examines the literary context and creative work of Bogdan Zholdak, with a specific focus on his style and contributions to modern Ukrainian literature. The second chapter provides a detailed analysis of narrative structure, thematic elements, and characters, with an emphasizing on the diversity of genres employed – ranging from war prose to grotesque and dark humor. The third chapter examines the linguistic and stylistic features of the work, focusing on the use of military terminology, idioms, and expressive vocabulary. The research confirms that Ukry is not only a portrayal of wartime reality but also a literary experiment in which the author combines irony, realism, and drama, offering a unique perspective on war from both the soldiers’ and civilians’ viewpoints
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
Regulation of Toll-like receptors signaling by vesicle transport protein ZFYVE27
Full text linkToll like receptors (TLRs) represent members of the pattern recognition receptors and are responsible for discriminating self from non-self. In the human body, this function is executed by 11 specialized receptors present on the cell surface or in endosomal compartments of immune cells. These potent receptors, which induce secretion of inflammatory and anti-viral cytokines, need tight regulation to protect the host against systemic effects.
The LPS sensing TLR4 is present on the cell surface and in phagosomes of immune cells. ZFYVE27 is a membrane protein localized in the tubular endoplasmic reticulum required for protrusion outgrowth during neurite formation in neuronal cells. Preliminary data from our research group suggested an effect of the vesicle transport protein ZFYVE27 on TLR4-mediated signaling. ZFYVE27 silencing was shown to impair TLR4-mediated signaling in human macrophages and macrophage-like THP-1 cells.
In this study we have narrowed down the effect of ZFYVE27 silencing on TLR4-mediated signaling to intracellular TLR4 signaling and examined a possible effect of ZFYVE27 on phagocytosis of Gram-negative bacteria. ZFYVE27 knockout cell lines were generated and tested in their LPS response to optimize the experimental conditions and generate a model cell line to expand the insight into the function of different protein domains of ZFYVE27. Moreover, pilot experiments on intracellular TLRs suggested a more general effect of ZFYVE27 on TLRs signaling. ZFYVE27 silencing prolonged TLR8- and TLR9-mediated signaling (endosomal TLRs), and these results should be confirmed and examined further.
Detailed insight into the regulation network of TLRs can reveal additional targets for treatment strategies of different types of cancers, autoimmune and inflammatory disorders

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
