Immigration and Its Impact on Europe\u27s Societal Security: Examining the Rise of Far-Right Parties (2014-2024)
No full textThis study examines the relationship between immigration and the rise of far-right parties in Europe from 2014 to 2024, focusing on the implications for societal security. It explores how far-right parties have capitalized on immigration, framing it as a critical threat to national identity and social stability. Applying the Copenhagen School’s securitization theory, the research analyzes how these parties have redefined immigration as a national security issue, thereby legitimizing more stringent immigration policies and exclusionary practices. The findings indicate that far-right parties have effectively utilized public anxieties and uncertainties surrounding immigration to influence the political discourse across Europe. This shift has significant socio-political consequences, posing challenges to the European Union’s foundational principles of integration, democracy, and human rights. The study highlights concerns over democratic backsliding, the erosion of social policies, and threats to freedom of movement and human rights. Additionally, it examines the potential impacts on the EU’s cohesion policy, foreign policy, enlargement process, and environmental sustainability. The research underscores a major transformation in Europe’s political landscape with far-reaching implications for the stability of the European Union and its member states
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
تحصیلات عالی و نقش آن در تحقق اهداف انکشاف پایدار
No full textHigher education serves as a crucial catalyst for realizing sustainable development goals, encompassing intellectual growth, spiritual enlightenment, and material progress. As we navigate the sustainable development goals agenda intending to address the world\u27s most urgent challenges by 2030, it becomes evident that improving the quality of higher education is imperative for success. The knowledge and expertise imparted by higher education institutions emerge as strategic assets in our collective endeavor to attain these goals. This study aims to investigate the role of higher education in realizing sustainable development goals. This study, employing qualitative methods grounded in library data, explores how higher education institutions can significantly contribute to sustainable development through education, research, operational practices, and active societal engagement. However, despite commendable efforts, higher education institutions continue to grapple with challenges in the quest for sustainable outcomes. تحصیلات عالی از ابزار مهم برای رسیدن به اهداف انکشاف پایدار است. رشد فکری، تربیه معنوی و توسعۀ مادی کشورها در گرو کارکرد تحصیلات عالی مبتنی بر ارزشهای علمی جهان مدرن است. هدف دستور کار اهداف انکشاف پایدار مقابله با مبرمترین چالشهای جهان تا سال 2030 است که حل این چالشها بدون بلند رفتن کیفی تحصیلات عالی ناممکن میباشد. از اینرو؛ دانش و تخصصی را که مؤسسات تحصیلات عالی میتوانند، ارائه دهند، ابزار استراتژیک برای رسیدن به آن اهداف پنداشته میشود. هدف این مطالعه بررسی نقش تحصیلات عالی در دستیابی به اهداف انکشاف پایدار است. این تحقیق با روش کیفی مبتنی بر دادههای کتابخانهای دریافته است که تحصیلات عالی میتواند از طریق آموزش، تحقیق، عملیات و مشارکت اجتماعی نقش مهمی را در تحقق اهداف انکشاف پایدار بازی نماید. نتایج حاصله تحقیق نشان میدهد که با وجود تلاشهای انجام شده، هنوز هم نهادهای تحصیلات عالی در مسیر دستیابی به نتایج پایداری با چالشهای مواجهاند.تحصیلات عالی از ابزار مهم برای رسیدن به اهداف انکشاف پایدار است. رشد فکری، تربیه معنوی و توسعۀ مادی کشورها در گرو کارکرد تحصیلات عالی مبتنی بر ارزشهای علمی جهان مدرن است. هدف دستور کار اهداف انکشاف پایدار مقابله با مبرمترین چالشهای جهان تا سال 2030 است که حل این چالشها بدون بلند رفتن کیفی تحصیلات عالی ناممکن میباشد. از اینرو؛ دانش و تخصصی را که مؤسسات تحصیلات عالی میتوانند، ارائه دهند، ابزار استراتژیک برای رسیدن به آن اهداف پنداشته میشود. هدف این مطالعه بررسی نقش تحصیلات عالی در دستیابی به اهداف انکشاف پایدار است. این تحقیق با روش کیفی مبتنی بر دادههای کتابخانهای دریافته است که تحصیلات عالی میتواند از طریق آموزش، تحقیق، عملیات و مشارکت اجتماعی نقش مهمی را در تحقق اهداف انکشاف پایدار بازی نماید. نتایج حاصله تحقیق نشان میدهد که با وجود تلاشهای انجام شده، هنوز هم نهادهای تحصیلات عالی در مسیر دستیابی به نتایج پایداری با چالشهای مواجهاند
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
