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
Promjene strukture kostiju kao kontraindikacija za metode manualne medicine

is needed. lt could be measured and diagnosed by X-rays or other diagnostic proceedures
which could show the structure of bones and joints. Apsolute contraindicaion for osteopatic
manipulation are osteoprotic changes on the local and systemic level and relative for vertebral
spine and vertibral joints. Results of non compliense and ignoring of contraindications as well
as malpractise of manual treatment could be catastrophic and probably fatal
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
Specialna HumanUP masaža zatilja pri osebah z zatilnim glavobolom
Get PDFZatilni glavoboli predstavljajo približno 60 % kroničnih glavobolov, povzročenih zaradi sprememb v vratnem delu hrbtenice. Možen vzrok za nastanek teh glavobolov je tenzijski pritisk obvratnih mišic na nasadišča vretenc, posebej atlasa. HumanUP je metoda, kjer z vibracijskim pritiskom poskušamo spremeniti prikrajšavo in minimalno dislokacijo vretenc na način, da z masažnim aparatom masiramo nasadišča obvretenčnih mišic. Testirali smo 90 pacientov, v raziskavo pa smo jih vključili 72, ki so izpolnjevali vključitvene kriterije. Bolečine smo testirali s standardiziranimi vprašalniki, VAS, MSQ, MIDAS in HIT-6 in z linearnimi meritvami gibljivosti sklepov vratnega dela hrbtenice. Raziskava je je trajala 6 mesecev. Pri 87,5 % pacientov se je intenziteta bolečine po prvem tretmaju zmanjšala za 42 %, po drugem tretmaju za 53 % in po tretjem tretmaju za 77 %. Merjenja antefleksije, retrofleksije in notranje rotacije so pokazala izboljšanje gibljivosti za najmanj 26 % že po prvem tretmaju, za 45 % po drugem in za 55 % po tretjem tretmaju. Predstavljena masaža zatilja po metodi HumanUP je nova oblika fizioterapije, ki nas usmerja v razmišljanje o vzrokih vratnih bolečin ter zatilnih glavobolov. Raziskavo bomo nadaljevali in analizirali vzroke nastanka zatilnih glavobolov ter vratnih sindromov
