    Filan's Quantum Love is a biographical novel about the life of one of the most important personalities of the Albanian world of the 20th century. Since the author is a participant in the events then the witnessing role of the novel is of particular importance. There is no other novel in Albanian literature that gives a better description of the situation in Kosovo after the Second World War. The narrator recounts the events by skipping some of them. He fo- cuses on the events, which he selects for the impact they have had on his memory as well as their weight in people's lives. The structure of the novel allows the author to say a lot in a few words. The novel is divided into two parts: the electronic letters sent to Dardha and the stories that tell about Filan's life. The first part deals with Filan's present, and the stories with his past. There are many names in the novel, many characters that Filan's life has encountered, but there is only one character that is completely cons- tructed. Despite this some characters, though episodic, remain long in the reader's memory. The events and situations that are narrated in the novel have a general character as well. They affect not only Filan's life, but also the lives of all the people. Dialogue is an important component of the text. In many stories we have Filan's confrontation with a character. Such situations are characteri- zed by dialogues, which are in function of defining of the characters, but also in function of testimony for a while. The most frequent dialogues are in the form of questions-answers. The variety of narrative perspectives sets Filan's Quantum Love apart. Different situations, meeting people of different profiles make the story, but also the dialogue to have the tone, color and discourse that ref- lects the situations, events and the general atmosphere. In Filan's Quantum Love we also know the inner world of the man who has not hidden his actions and thoughts. Rare are personalities like Adem Demaçi who, throughout their lives, have had in full compliance the word and the action. As a novel about an extraordinary man and about an unusual time; as a novel of artistic and evidential value Filan's Quantum Love should be included in school curricula so that pupils and students, through art, recog- nize an important period in the life of the Albanian people and, why not, recognize one of the most special and important figures of the nation. Despite the fact that the literary work is analyzed separately from the name of its author, the name of Adem Demaçi will always be in the mind of the reader whenever Adem Dema is read.Punimi trajton njërën prej veprave më të mira të Adem Demaçit: romanin autobiografik Dashuria kuantike e Filanit, në të cilën, duke rrëfyer me “kapërcime”, autori mbulon një kohë rreth gjysmëshekullore. Ngjarjet, situatat, mjedisi, personazhet janë të vërteta, natyrisht të plotësuara me tisin e fiksionit. Autori është dëshmitar dhe pjesëmarrës i ngjarjeve, prandaj vlera doku- mentare e librit është e një rëndësie të veçantë. Adem Demaçi dëshmon përmes rrëfimit, por edhe përmes dialogëve e përsiatjeve. Në këtë punim trajtohen tematika, dialogu, personazhet, vlera dëshmuese dhe përgjithësuese e romanit. Adem Demaçi edhe kësaj radhe, pavarësisht se shkruan roman autobio- grafik, duke rrëfyer për ngjarjet dhe situatat në të cilat e ka shpënë jeta, jep imazhin dhe atmosferën e një kohe jo të zakonshme në historinë e popullit të tij

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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 link
    We 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

    We 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 text
    In 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.
