Florence D. Richard letter to Lucile Atcherson, August 7, 1914
No full textFlorence D. Richard, the President of the Ohio Woman's Christian Temperance Union in 1914, sent this letter to Lucile Atcherson of the Franklin County Woman's Christian Temperance Union on August 7, 1914. Richard asserts that she and the other women of the temperance movement in Ohio would continue to support the suffragists. Richard tells Atcherson that she is glad the two organizations were supportive and on good terms, and affirms that she would continue to do all she could to support the cause of suffrage.
The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex

Michel Foucault and Judith Butler: troubling Butler's appropriation of Foucault's work
No full textOne of the main influences on Judith Butler‘s thinking has been the work of Michel Foucault. Although this relationship is often commented on, it is rarely discussed in any detail. My thesis makes a contribution in this area. It presents an analysis of Foucault‘s work with the aim of countering Butler‘s representation of his thinking. In the first part of the thesis, I show how Butler initially interprets Foucault‘s project through Nietzschean genealogy, psychoanalysis and Derridean discourse, and how she later develops this interpretation in line with the progress of her own project. In the main part of the thesis, I present an analysis of Foucault‘s thinking in the period from The Archaeology of Knowledge (1969) to The History of Sexuality volume 1 (1976). This analysis focuses on the aspect of his work which has most influenced Butler‘s thinking: namely the notion of a relationship between knowledge, discourse and power. The other issues in his work which Butler addresses—genealogy, the subject, the body, abnormality, and sexuality—are discussed within this framework. I show how, in the early 1970s, Foucault develops the notion of power-knowledge, and sets out a relationship between power-knowledge and discourse which is overlooked by Butler. I argue that Butler interprets Foucaultian power through the notions of repression and social norms, and ignores the concepts of technology and strategy which form a key part of Foucault‘s thinking. I show how, from The Archaeology of Knowledge on, Foucault develops a socio-historical ontology and a genealogy of the subject, both of which are at variance with Butler‘s interpretation of his thinking
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Neocoenyra duplex Butler 1886
No full textNeocoenyra duplex Butler, 1886 Larsen 1996: pl. 30, fig. 444 i. d ’ Abrera 1997: 245 (2 figs). SI: Figure 10a – d. Forewing length: male 15.0 – 18.0 mm [mean (n = 13) 16.66 mm, SD = 0.559]; female 17.0 – 20.5 mm [mean (n = 8) 18.61 mm, SD = 1.086]. Records According to Kielland (1990, p. 88), this butterfly occurs in arid thorn-bush, at 1400 – 1900 m, in northern Tanzania (with an isolated record from Mbeya). Included here as a member of the lower slopes fauna on the basis of ten male and three female specimens in OUMNH collected by Rogers in 1905 and 1906 at Taveta, c. 2500 ft (see also Butler 1901, p. 23), and, in BMNH, three males from West Kilimanjaro collected by Cooper at 4500 – 5000 ft., two males from Taveta (ex Rogers), and a further example from Taveta (sex uncertain). Not encountered by Liseki (2009) at 2000 m or above. More widely, according to Ackery et al. (1995, p. 315), this monotypic species ranges from Somalia southwards to Uganda and the Rwanda /DRC border.Published as part of Liseki, Steven D. & Vane-Wright, Richard I., 2015, Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) of Mount Kilimanjaro: Nymphalidae subfamilies Libytheinae, Danainae, Satyrinae and Charaxinae, pp. 865-904 in Journal of Natural History 50 on page 877, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2015.1091106, http://zenodo.org/record/399010
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Building a Purposeful Research Agenda
No full textIn this second installment of the CLSC Director’s Corner, Joshua Arostegui, the center’s research director and chair of China studies, and the center\u27s director, Richard Butler, discuss the center’s research agenda. Previously, Butler outlined the center’s mission and how the research agenda answers large campaign questions across the perspectives of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), the United States, and US allies and partners
Neocoenyra gregorii Butler 1894
No full textNeocoenyra gregorii Butler, 1894 Larsen 1996: pl. 30, fig. 445 i,ii. d ’ Abrera 1997: 245 (2 figs). SI: Figure 10e – h. Forewing length: male 17.5 – 21.5 mm [mean (n = 8) 19.80 mm, SD = 1.032]; female 18.0 – 23.0 mm [mean (n = 6) 20.52 mm, SD = 1.038]. Records Open areas at 1200 – 2200 m in the Northern Highlands and Singida area; possibly also at Iringa, and in the Mpanda and Kigoma districts (Kielland 1990, p. 89). Not encountered by Liseki (2009), but included here as a member of the lower slopes fauna on the basis of a single male collected by Cooper on West Kilimanjaro at 4500 – 5000 ft (BMNH). In addition, the BMNH has a male from Mt Meru, June – July 1938, also ex Cooper. However, there does not appear to be any Kilimanjaro or Taveta material in OUMNH. Beyond Tanzania this species occurs in Somalia, Kenya, Uganda, DRC (east) and Malawi, at altitudes up to 3000 m (Larsen 1996, p. 279). Larsen (1996, p. 280) also recorded it from Zambia, but this was not substantiated by Heath et al. (2002). The status of this species on Kilimanjaro requires further investigation.Published as part of Liseki, Steven D. & Vane-Wright, Richard I., 2015, Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) of Mount Kilimanjaro: Nymphalidae subfamilies Libytheinae, Danainae, Satyrinae and Charaxinae, pp. 865-904 in Journal of Natural History 50 on pages 877-878, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2015.1091106, http://zenodo.org/record/399010
