Sind under the Mughuls : an introduction to, translation of and commentary on the Maẓhar-i Shāhjahānī of Yūsuf Mīrak (1044/1634)
Full text linkStarted as a simple translation of the second half of the
Mazhar-i Shahjahani a matchless compendium on the working of the Mughul
administration in Sind, the present thesis has developed into an
exhaustive history of relations between the Arghuns and Tarkhans of Sind
and the Great Mughul of India from the days of Timur down to the reign
of Jahangir. The thesis comprises three parts: Introduction, Translation
of the second half of the Mazhar-i. Shahjahani, and the Commentary.
The Introduction consists of three Sections. Section I traces the
origin of the Arghuns, their rise to power in Qandahar, their conflicts
with Babur and in doing so sheds significant light on the number, nature
and duration of the latter's campaigns against that important Arghun
stronghold prior to his triumphant advent into Hindustan. The later part
of this Section deals with the Arghun rule in Sind, Humáyün's wanderings
in this region, the mutual rivalries of the successors of Mirza Shah Hasan
Arghün, division of Sind into two independent principalities of Bhakkar
and Thatta and their subsequent absorption into the Mughul Empire.
Section II of the Introduction deals at length with the details
about the author and his family, while Section III seeks to evaluate
the importance of the Mazhar-i. Shahjahani among the histories of Sind
and the 'Mirrors for Princes' written in India, particularly for or
under the Great Mughuls.
To facilitate the finding of answers to the questions arising from
the study of the Translation and to compensate for the absence of an
elaborate index, the Introduction has been divided into convenient
sub-sections.
The Translation is based upon the only surviving (author's
autograph) MS. 7743 of the Mazhar-i Shahjahani preserved in the Library of
the Punjab University, Lahore. While the commonly known administrative
terms, & c., have been retained in their original form, the unfamiliar
technical terms, words and phrases have been rendered into English, but
their Persian versions have been placed alongside in brackets. Those of
the abstruse terms and expressions which could not be found in standard
lexicographical works, they were resolved on the analogy of their usage
by other writers of Persian historical works in India.
The Commentary treats of all types of important points pertaining to
the Translation. The number on the left hand side of the colon at the beginning of each explanation refers to the page of the Translation, while
the one on the right hand side indicates the line where that particular
point occurs. The biographies of the historical personages, & c., have
been written very painstakingly and could be of immense value in the
compilation of a comprehensive history of Sind, whenever that comes to he
written.
The Introduction and Commentary also have the merit of being a
comparative study of the contemporary and secondary sources on the history
of Sind, and even a cursory glance through the foot-notes is enough to
show their thoroughness. They underline the importance of critical
edition of the original historical texts before they are translated into
any other language. They also bring out the necessity of fusion between
the knowledge of Persian and a certain degree of training as historian
before one can undertake the edition or translation of a historical text
on scientific grounds.
In the execution of this enterprise, the present writer has not
infrequently disagreed with his precursors. In criticising their works,
to which he himself owes tremendously, he was inspired by the same lofty
ideals which prompted Hodivala to undertake the writing of the Studies
in Indo-Muslim History and the idea of discrediting or disparaging them
never crossed his mind because he was more than anybody else conscious of
the fact that Hama chlz kamagán ddnand oca kamagán kanüz az madaA na záda
and ('It is the whole of mankind that knows everything, and the whole of
mankind has not yet been born'). Nevertheless, the pursuit of the truth
transcended all considerations and no pain was considered too great to
reach to the facts
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
Algorithms and analysis of dialogue time patterns
Full text linkThe characteristics of a conversation between two people can be determined not only what they say to each other, but also by the rhythm of their dialogue. Their moods, attitudes and attributes may be conveyed in part by time patterns of the speech. The programs described herein can be useful in exploring the relationship between dialogue time patterns and other psychological aspects of human behavior. The measurements of these time patterns can be quickly, inexpensively, and reliably accomplished by the use of a PC.
The programs described herein are capable of calculating the variabilities, the time durations and frequencies of specific vocal parameters useful for assessing speech pattern. The programs perform different statistical analyses to assess the influence of one speaker\u27s vocal parameters on his partners. The conversations between male/female children and adults are analyzed to verify the algorithms. The programs were written in TURBO pascal
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
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
