Jordanian Foreign Policy in Confrontation with Extremism and Terrorism: the International Alliance is a Model
No full textThe study aims at researching in the Jordanian foreign Policy in confrontation with extremism and terrorism through concentration on factors and determinates that pushed Jordan to enter the International Alliance in fighting terrorism, especially fighting Da’ish organization. Corresponding to that significance of the study appears through discussing the role of the foreign policy and its instruments in limiting the phenomenon of extremism and terrorism and the most important strategies that the states should follow in light of the internal and external environmental impacts in confronting extremism and terrorism within the preventive procedures and terrorist crises management. The study employed the method of decision making in achieving objectives of study and its questions where the main question emerged: what are the most important determinants of the Jordanian Foreign Policy in joining the International Alliance against the terrorism, especially fighting the organization of the Islamic State “Da’ish”?.The study deduced a number of results from the most important of them is that: Jordan could take a group of procedures and arrangements at the level of the foreign policy through the period (2011-2017) in confronting extremism ant terrorism within activation of military, diplomatic and media instruments, where the economic instrument appeared from the weakest instruments of the foreign policy and a negative factor in the process of decision-making. The study proved that the joining of Jordan to the International Alliance to fight Dai’sh Organization as a result of great impact of the geographic determinant, and availability of the organization at geographic territories forming a strategic danger on Jordan. The study also recommended with the necessity of treating the social and economic problems as an important side and supporter in enhancing the instruments of the Jordanian Foreign Policy
The Impact of Christian Zionism on the American Decision Towards the Palestinian-Israeli conflict: A comparative study of Republican presidents: Reagan, Bush Jr., and Trump
Get PDFتحدّدت مشكلة الدراسة في التعرّف على تأثير الحركة الصهيونية المسيحية –باعتباره تيّارا فكريا دينيا- على توجّهات السياسة الأمريكية خلال فترة الرؤساء الجمهوريين تجاه الصراع الفلسطيني الإسرائيلي. وهدفت الدراسة إلى تسليط الضوء على الحركة الصهيونية المسيحية والتعرّف على معتقداتها الفكرية، وبالتالي تحليل وبيان دورها في توجّهات الحزب الجمهوري الأمريكي تجاه الصراع الفلسطيني الإسرائيلي ومستجداته من خلال مقارنة سياسات الرؤساء الجمهوريين السابقين رونالد ريغان وجورج بوش الابن ودونالد ترامب.
انطلقت الدراسة من تساؤل أساسي وجوهري مفاده: هل ساهم الفكر الصهيوني المسيحي في التأثير على سياسة الحزب الجمهوري الأمريكي خلال فترة حكم الرؤساء رونالد ريغان، جورج بوش الابن، ودونالد ترامب في اتجاه تصعيد الصراع الفلسطيني الإسرائيلي؟.
استخدمت الدراسة المنهج المقارن لتحليل دور الفكر الصهيوني المسيحي في التأثير على القرار السياسي للحزب الجمهوري الأمريكي تجاه الصراع الفلسطيني الإسرائيلي.
وقد توصّلت الدراسة إلى العديد من النتائج، أبرزها أنّها أكّدت على أنّ الفكر الصهيوني المسيحي النّابع من معتقدات ونبوءاتٍ توراتية قد أثّر بصورةٍ مباشرة على القرار السياسي للحزب الجمهوري الأمريكي في اتجاه تصعيد الصراع الفلسطيني الإسرائيلي، ولعلّ قرار الرئيس الأمريكي الجمهوري السابق "دونالد ترامب" وتوقيعه على وثيقة الاعتراف بالقدس عاصمةً لإسرائيل ونقل السفارة الأمريكية إليها لهو خير دليلٍ على هذا التصعيد.The study's problem is to identify the influence of the Christian Zionist movement—as a religious, intellectual current—on American policy during the Republican presidents' periods towards the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The study aimed to shed light on the Christian Zionist movement and identify its intellectual beliefs, and thus analyze and clarify its role in the trends of the American Republican Party towards the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and its developments by comparing the policies of former Republican presidents Ronald Reagan, George Bush Jr., and Donald Trump.
The study starts with a fundamental question: Did Christian Zionist thought contribute to influencing the policy of the American Republican Party during the administrations of Presidents Ronald Reagan, George Bush Jr., and Donald Trump in the direction of escalating the Palestinian-Israeli conflict?
The study used the comparative approach to analyze the role of Christian Zionist thought in influencing the political decision of the American Republican Party towards the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
The study reaches many results, most notably that it confirmed that Christian Zionist thought stemming from Biblical beliefs and prophecies had directly influenced the political decision of the American Republican Party towards escalating the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the decision of former Republican US President Donald Trump and his signing of a document Recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and moving the American embassy to it is the best evidence of this escalation
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
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
