На пути в Мекку: Одесса как общеимперский центр мусульманского паломничества
No full textThe article considers Odessa's role as a key transport hub in the pilgrimage route of Russian Muslims. The author demonstrates how the Hajj industry infrastructure developed in Odessa throughout the 19 — early 20 centuries and how it affected the formation of the local Muslim community. The pilgrimage infrastructure of Odessa formed in the pre-revolutionary period was used in the Soviet era to carry out the Hajj of 1927, which overall had a positive effect on the policy of the Soviet government towards pilgrims.В статье рассматривается роль Одессы как ключевого транспортного узла в паломническом маршруте российских мусульман. Автор показывает, как на протяжении XIX – начала XX вв. формировалась инфраструктура хадж-индустрии в Одессе, и какое влияние она оказывала на формирование одесской мусульманской общины. Особо отмечается, как сложившаяся в дореволюционный период паломническая инфраструктура Одессы использовалась в советское время для проведения хаджа 1927 г., оказав в целом благоприятное влияние на политику советской власти по отношению к советским паломникам
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
Рецензия на сборник о концепте традиционного ислама под ред. Р.Беккина
No full textBook reviewВозможно, сегодня в исламском и околоисламском дискурсе постсоветского пространства нет более дискуссионного и противоречивого понятия, чем «традиционный ислам». И неудивительно, что появляется все больше академических работ, призванных обозначить содержательные рамки этого самого «традиционного ислама». Одной из подобных академических попыток дать представление о концепте традиционного ислама и является сборник статей под редакцией известного российско-шведского исследователя ислама Рената Беккина.
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
«Запретный» ислам в советской Украине
Full text linkOne of the least studied and documented periods of the existence of Islam in Ukraine is the Soviet period. In Soviet Ukraine, Muslims were present, as evidenced by the existence of mosques in several major cities, Muslim cemeteries, and a number of ethnonyms (for example, the suburb of Kiev called Tatarka). These were primarily the Volga Tatars, who constituted a significant, if not the largest part of the Muslims of Ukraine both in the pre-war and post-war periods — even after the transfer of Crimean region to Ukraine in 1954, as Crimean Muslims remained deported in Central Asia. Another group of Ukrainian Muslims were the so-called Polish-Lithuanian Tatars, who lived mainly in Western Ukraine. However, for the authorities of the Ukrainian Soviet Republic they did not exist. Muslims could not register a religious community and were forced to perform religious rituals illegally, at the risk of encountering oppression by law enforcement.In my paper I will consider the phenomenon of Muslim communities in Soviet Ukraine, the features of their existence and religious life. I will show that, despite the actual prohibition of the existence of organised forms of Islam, Ukrainian Muslims continued to be part of a wider discourse of «Soviet» Islam, maintaining unoffcial links with the centers of Islamic life in the USSR. I will also touch on the issue of strategies for preserving ethnic and confessional identity by Ukrainian Muslims in the face of the threat of cultural and religious assimilation.For the research, I used materials from personal archives, own field studies, interviews, local lore publications in local and republican press, biographical materials, as well as studies on this topic by Ukrainian authors.Одним из наименее изученных и задокументированных периодов существования ислама в Украине является советский период. В советской Украине мусульмане присутствовали, о чем свидетельствует наличие в ряде крупных городов мечетей, мусульманских кладбищ, а также ряд этнонимов (например, киевский район Татарка). Это были прежде всего поволжские татары, составлявшие значительную, если не основную часть мусульман Украины как в довоенный, так и в послевоенный период — даже после присоединения в 1954 г. Крыма, поскольку крымские мусульмане оставались в депортации в Средней Азии. Другой группой украинских мусульман были т.н. польско-литовские татары, проживавшие главным образом в Западной Украине. Однако для властей УССР они не существовали. Мусульмане не могли зарегистрировать религиозную общину и вынужденно отправляли религиозные обряды подпольно, рискуя столкнуться с притеснениями со стороны правоохранительных органов.В своей статье я рассмотрю феномен мусульманских общин в советской Украине, особенности их существования и религиозной жизни. Я покажу, что, несмотря на фактический запрет существования организованных форм ислама, украинские мусульмане продолжали оставаться частью более широкого дискурса «советского» ислама, сохраняя неофициальные связи с центрами исламской жизни СССР. Я также коснусь вопроса стратегий сохранения этноконфессиональной идентичности украинскими мусульманами в условиях угрозы культурно-религиозной ассимиляции.В исследовании использованы материалы личных архивов, собственных полевых исследований, интервью, публикации краеведческого характера в местной и республиканской прессе, биографические материалы, а также исследования на данную тему украинских авторов
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
