    The case for theological ethics: an appreciation of Ernil Brunner and Reinhold Niebuhr as moral theologians

    No full text
    The purpose of this thesis is to test the hypothesis that Christian ethics is not merely a department of general ethics, but is essentially theological. The reason for choosing these two theologians is that Brunner is in danger of eclipse, and Niebuhr deserves to continue being widely read. The thesis attempts to exhibit the methods each used to clarify the Christian faith and relate it to selected structures of society.METHOD: The thesis proceeds thus: 1) The first chapter is biographical and a study of their respective environments, as well as an appraisal of other theological and secular positions contemporary with them. 2) The second chapter is an examination of how each dealt with the subject of natural law. 3) The thesis moves on to examine their views on the questions of love, law and revel at ion. 4) At this point the thesis deals with both theologians separately to evaluate their particular emphases. 5) The final part of the thesis examines how each applied theological issues to particular situations. Those selected are 'The State' and 'The Problem of War'. The reason for the choice is that both were writing at a particularly turbulent period of world history. This part of the thesis is descriptive and not critical and is intended to serve as illustrative of the methods they used to apply theology to social and political issues

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    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

    Isophya pavelii Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1882 (Figs 6, 7, 33, 58, 82, 107, 133, 137, 191) Isophya pavelii Brunner von Wattenwyl: Brunner von Wayyenwyl 1882 (sp.n.). Isophya rammei Peshev (Chobanov 2009 b, syn. n.): Peshev 1981 (sp.n.). Morphological description: see the references above; Bey-Bienko 1954; Can 1959 a, b; Harz 1969; Peshev 1981 (as I. rammei); Ünal 2003; Chobanov 2009 b. Bioacoustics: Chobanov 2009 b. Karyotype: Warchałowska-Śliwa et al. 2008 (as I. rammei). The species is well characterised in the above-mentioned sources. Distribution (Fig. 191) and phenology: The main range of the species covers the middle mountain ranges of the Pontic region of Northwestern Anatolia (up to 1800 m). The species was described from the region of Istanbul and is possibly distributed along the Black-Sea coast of European Turkey and Istranca Mts, though until present it was only found in two localities in Bulgaria (Strandzha Mts) at 300–350 m alt., where it inhabits mesoxerophyte semi-ruderalized meadows and scrub surrounded by oak forests. Nymphs—III–V(–VI), imago—V–VII(–VIII in mountains).Published as part of Dragan P. Chobanov, Beata Grzywacz, Ionuţ Ş. Iorgu, Battal Cιplak, Maya B.

Its karyology is not known.</p> <p> <i>Diagnosis</i>: It well differs from <i>I. speciosa</i> and all other representatives of the group by the widened apex of male cerci (compare Figs 103, 180 B with 104, 181B) and the structure of male stridulatory row (compare Fig. 180 A with 181A). Male stridulatory file bears 72–112 teeth (Can 1959a); in a specimen collected near Sögüt in Western Anatolia the file had 95 teeth and a length of about 2.7 mm (Fig. 180 A). Male song (Heller 1988) consists of single elaborated syllables of three parts lasting about 3.4 s at>17°С (compare Heller 1988: p. 231, Abb. 33) and thus about 2–3 s at higher temperature.</p> <p> <i>Distribution (Fig. 195) and phenology</i>: Known from the southeasternmost Balkan Peninsula (S European Turkey) and NW Anatolia. Depending on the altitude nymphs may emerge quite early (possibly in February– March to April) and imagines occur between April–May and June (lowlands)–August (mountains).</p>Published as part of <i>Dragan P.
