The Role of Outdoor Recreation Activities in the Dimension of Meeting Basic Psychological Needs
No full textWOS: 000513670400010As a consequence of rapid urbanization and busy work schedule, time spent in nature incrementally goes down in each day whereas, in reality, being in the nature and taking part in open-area activities render both physical and mental advantages. This study thus aims to investigate the effect of outdoor recreation activities in nature (sea-kayaking, canyoning, mountain biking, trekking and antique-city touring) in terms of meeting basic psychological needs of human beings. Research population is composed of domestic tourists staying on vacation in Mugla- Gokova town and sampling consists 24 volunteers who had no initial plans to partake in any sports or nature activity before coming for vacation and yet consented to contribute to the research. In the study; personal information form designed by the researcher and Five-point Likert type of Scale of Basic Psychological Needs (BPN) of which adaptation into Turkish language (2003) was completed by Sunbul and his colleagues have been selected. Findings of the study revealed that; scores obtained from scale of basic psychological needs and its subdimensions after participating in outdoor recreation activities were significantly above the scores obtained before the activity and rendered effect was in a positive direction and in the level of "strong effect" (d>0,50)
Evaluation of the Relationship between Self-Esteem and Risk-Taking Behaviors of Students Who Taking Elective Physical Education Course
No full textWOS: 000490561600004This research was carried out to examine the self-esteem and risk-taking levels of the university students taking elective physical education and sports courses. For this purpose, the self-esteem and risk-taking levels of the university students who participated in the study were examined according to different socio-demographic characteristics and the results obtained were interpreted. 101 students participated in the study who prefered physical education and sports courses as an elective course in Mugla Sitki Kocman University in 2018-2019 fall season. All participants were involved in the study voluntarily. A three-part questionnaire was used as data collection tool in the research. The first part of the research includes the personal information form about the participants, the second part of the research involves "Self-Esteem Scale" and the third part of the research includes the Risk-Taking Scale. Data were analyzed by using SPSS16.0 program. When the results of the research are generally evaluated, there is a significant and negative relationship between self-esteem and risk-taking behavior. It is possible to turn to risk behaviors in order to avoid or deal with negative emotions that arise from low self-esteem, such as feeling worthless and unimportant oneself and not being liked by others
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
