DOES A PLACE CALLED HOME BY PREETI SHENOY SUCESSFULLY WIN EVERYONE’S HEART?
Full text linkThe goal of this research is to offer a Marxist reading of the book, focusing on the ways in which the narrative presents class conflict and social caste inequalities. The book begins with an introduction to the main characters and themes of the work. It draws attention to how important context is in an Indian culture, where people's identities and destiny are greatly influenced by the intersection of the caste and class systems. The second segment looks at the analysis from a Marxist perspective. It explains the key tenets of Marxist thought, with an emphasis on how the theory attempts to shed light on the hidden power structures of class-based society. Marx's criticism of caste discrimination as a tool to subjugate the working class and preserve social order is also discussed.
The 2nd section of the thesis presents the main instances and instances from the book that illustrates the caste and social status disparities. The study examines how the protagonists' socioeconomic circumstances impact their prospects for growth and success. The text portrays the characters belonging to lower castes and classes as being subjected to marginalization, alienation, and exploitation. This demonstrates the practical effects of caste discrimination and class strife in contemporary Indian society. The study will conclude with a succinct Marxist overview of the main findings. It draws attention to how Preeti Shenoy's portrayal of caste and class disparities in A Place Called Home speaks to broader social issues and the necessity of Marxist theory in understanding and addressing such injustices.. The study also emphasizes the value of literature as a means of discussing important topics related to societal development and transformation. This Marxist analysis of A Place Called Home elucidates the fascinating interplay between social stratification and caste in an Indian context. The study encourages readers to pose questions about the current quo via its critical investigation of social structures and personality dynamics, shedding light on the realities of advantage, oppression, along with struggle that endure within the greater fabric of society
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
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
A Glance on the Portrayal of Socio-economic Class Differences Among its Characters in the Novel "A Place Called Home" by Preeti Shenoy
Full text linkThrough the lens of Indian civilization, Preeti Shenoy's A Place Called Home examines the complex web of interpersonal ties. The purpose of this study is to provide a Marxist interpretation of the book, with an emphasis on the ways in which class conflict and discrimination based on social caste play out in the story. The first part of the book serves as an introduction to the story's main characters and topics. It emphasizes the importance of the setting in an Indian environment, where the points of intersection of class and caste systems play a vital part in determining the identities and destiny of the individuals. In the second section, the analysis via the Marxist perspective is discussed. It explains the key tenets of Marxist thought, with an emphasis on how the theory attempts to shed light on the hidden power structures of class-based society. Marx's criticism of caste discrimination as a tool to subjugate the working class and preserve social order is also discussed.
The novel's primary examples and incidents that show the inequalities in caste and social status are presented in the thesis's third part. The study looks at how the protagonists' socioeconomic backgrounds affect their chances for success and advancement. The characters from the lower classes and castes are shown in the text as experiencing exploitation, marginalization, and alienation. This serves to illustrate the real-world ramifications of class conflict and caste prejudice in modern Indian culture. The study will end with a brief summary of the study's key results from a Marxist perspective. It highlights how Preeti Shenoy's depiction of class and caste divisions in A Place Called Home reflects larger social difficulties and the need of Marxist theory in comprehending and combating such inequalities. The study also emphasizes the value of literature as a means of discussing important topics related to societal development and transformation. This Marxist analysis of A Place Called Home elucidates the fascinating interplay between social stratification and caste in an Indian context. The study encourages readers to pose questions about the current quo via its critical investigation of social structures and personality dynamics, shedding light on the realities of advantage, oppression, along with struggle that endure within the greater fabric of society
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
