Get PDFهدفت الدراسة الحالية إلى بناء برنامج تعليمي مقترح قائم على تطبيقات الذكاء الاصطناعي، وقياس فاعليته في تنمية المفاهيم الجغرافية الحديثة لدى الطلاب الموهوبين بالمرحلة الثانوية في المملكة العربية السعودية. ولتحقيق ذلك، اختيرت عينة عشوائية متيسرة بلغت (37) طالبًا من مجتمع الدراسة، وقد وقع الاختيار على إحدى المدارس الثانوية – نظام المقررات – في مدينة الطائف عشوائيًا، وعلى خمسة طلاب من مجموعة الدراسة لإجراء دراسة الحالة، بعد الحصول على موافقتهم للمشاركة. واتبعت الدراسة منهجية التثليث، التي تضمنت ثلاث مناهج بحثية، وهي: المنهج الوصفي الوثائقي لبناء البرنامج التعليمي المقترح، والمنهج شبه التجريبي– ذو تصميم المجموعة الواحدة لقياس فاعلية البرنامج التعليمي المقترح، ومنهج دراسة الحالة لإثراء الدراسة بالبيانات النوعية التي تدعم تفسير النتائج الكمية. وجمعت بيانات الدراسة الكمية باستخدام اختبار التحصيل المعرفي للمفاهيم الجغرافية الحديثة، أيضًا استخدمت لجمع البيانات النوعية أسئلة المقابلة شبه المقننة. وحُللت البيانات الكمية بالأساليب الإحصائية الوصفية والاستدلالية المناسبة باستخدام برنامج (SPSS)، ورُتبت البيانات النوعية وصُنفت لدراسة الحالة، وعُرضت نتائجها بالطريقة المستندة إلى الطريقة المجذرة لتحليل البيانات النوعية. وكشفت نتائج الدراسة في جانبها الكمي عن وجود فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية عند مستوى الدلالة (0.01 ≥ α)، بين متوسطي درجات مجموعة الدراسة في التطبيقين القبلي والبعدي للمتغير المعتمد في اختبار التحصيل المعرفي للمفاهيم الجغرافية الحديثة، لصالح التطبيق البعدي. كشفت النتائج أيضًا عن تأثير كبير(مرتفع) للبرنامج التعليمي المقترح؛ فقد بلغ معامل التأثير (7.28)، ووصلت نسبة معامل بلاك للكسب المعدل للمتغير المعتمد إلى (1.27)، مما يدل على فاعلية عالية للمتغير المعتمد على البرنامج التعليمي. كما أكدت النتائج النوعية على الدور الرائد للبرنامج التعليمي في تزويد الطلاب الموهوبين بالمفاهيم الجغرافية الحديثة؛ لارتباطها بواقعهم الحالي. وبناءً على نتائج الدراسة؛ قُدمت مجموعة من التوصيات والمقترحات ذات الصلة.The current study aims to build a proposed educational program based on artificial intelligence applications, and measure its effectiveness in developing modern geographical concepts among gifted students at the secondary stage in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. To achieve that, an available random sample of (37) students was selected from the study community, where one of the secondary schools - the course system - in the Taif city was randomly selected, and five students from the study group were selected to conduct the case study after obtaining their consent to participate. The study adopted the triangulation methodology, which included three research methods, namely: The documentary descriptive approach to build the proposed educational program, the semi-experimental approach – with a single group design – to measure the effectiveness of the proposed educational program, and the case study approach to enrich the study with qualitative data that support the interpretation of quantitative findings. Quantitative study data were collected using the Cognitive Achievement Test for Modern Geographical Concepts. The quasi-codified interview questions were also used to collect qualitative data. Quantitative data were analyzed by appropriate descriptive and inferential statistical methods using the SPSS; the qualitative data of the case study were arranged and classified, while its findings were displayed in a manner based on the rooted method of qualitative data analysis. The findings of the study in its quantitative aspect disclosed the existence of statistically significant differences at the level of significance (0.01≥α) between the average scores of the study group in the pre- and post-applications of the variable adopted in the cognitive achievement test for modern geographical concepts dimensional application, in favor of the post-application. The findings also revealed a significant (high) impact of the proposed educational program, with an impact factor of (7.28). The ratio of the block coefficient of adjusted gain for the dependent variable reached (1.27), which indicates the high effectiveness of the variable dependent on the educational program. The qualitative findings also confirmed the pioneering role of the educational program in providing gifted students with modern geographical concepts, as they relate to their current reality. Based on the findings of the study, a list of relevant recommendations and proposals were presented
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
