KATAR'DA GELİŞEN TOPLUMSAL TEHDİT ALGILARI VE GELİŞEN BALADNA KAVRAMI
No full textThis dissertation aims to examine the changing societal security perception in Qatar by testing a hypothesis: while migration-induced demographic imbalances and their associated existential threats created societal security concerns in Qatar akin to those in other Gulf States, the 2017 Gulf crisis marked a turning point. The crisis encouraged Qatar to adopt a more inclusive approach to societal security, expanding its core values beyond the traditional tribal framework toward an inclusive vision encapsulated by the term Baladna—a unifying symbol of national pride and collective identity. The dissertation also contributes to the theory of societal security by integrating Qatar’s evolving framework into the broader literature. Initially, societal concerns in Qatar were addressed within the context of state or political security, consistent with the Copenhagen School’s foundational understanding of security. During the 1990s and 2000s, Qatar’s perspective evolved with an emphasis on identity-related threats, focusing on migration and horizontal competition. However, the 2017 Gulf crisis marked a departure from this trajectory. While Qatar’s pre-2017 threat perceptions mirrored those of its neighbors, the crisis catalyzed the emergence of a distinct societal security perspective. This new framework, referred
to in this dissertation as Baladna, shifts focus from identity-oriented concerns to encompass life-giving functions and an all-hazards approach, paralleling the ‘New Nordic Understanding of Security’.Bu tez, Katar'da değişen toplumsal güvenlik incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Geçmişte göçün neden olduğu demografik dengesizlikler ve bu dengesizliklerle ilişkili varoluşsal tehditler, Katar'da diğer Körfez ülkelerine benzer toplumsal güvenlik endişeleri yaratmıştır. Ancak, 2017 Körfez Krizi bu duruma bir dönüm noktası olmuştur. Kriz, Katar'ın toplumsal güvenlik konusunda daha kapsayıcı bir yaklaşım benimsemesini teşvik etmiş ve temel değerlerini geleneksel kabile çerçevesinin ötesine taşıyarak, ulusal ve kolektif kimliğin birleştirici bir sembolü olan Baladna (Ülkemiz) terimiyle özetlenen kapsayıcı bir vizyona yöneltmiştir.
Teorik bir çerçevede ele alındığında ise: Başlangıçta Katar'daki toplumsal kaygılar, Kopenhag Okulu'nun ortaya koydugu temel güvenlik anlayışıyla tutarlı bir şekilde, devlet ya da siyasi güvenlik bağlamında ele alınmıştır. Ancak 1990'lı ve 2000'li yıllarda, Katar'ın bu bakış açısı kimlik odaklı tehditlere vurgu yaparak ve göç ile yatay rekabete odaklanarak gelişmiştir. Bununla birlikte, 2017 Körfez Krizi bu yörüngede bir sapmaya neden olmuştur. Katar'ın kriz öncesi tehdit algıları komşularınınkine benzerken, kriz sonrasında Baladna olarak adlandırılan ve "Yeni
İskandinav Güvenlik Anlayışı" ile paralellik gösteren yeni bir toplumsal güvenlik perspektifi ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu çerçeve, kimlik odaklı kaygılardan ziyade hayat veren işlevler ve tüm tehlikeleri kapsayan bir yaklaşımı merkezine almıştır.Ph.D. - Doctoral Progra
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
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
