Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s Novels: Tools for Teaching Multicultural Literature
No full textThe primary objective of this research paper is to discuss the way in which literary works of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni can be used as an efficient educational tool when teaching multicultural literature. Her novels and short stories with immigrant themes support cultural and gender-related motifs that allow critical student discussion and help the learners obtain multicultural comprehension. The paper evaluates Divakaruni’s literary methods through evaluation of narrative voice and characterization together with thematic analysis of multicultural content. A qualitative research design coupled textual investigation of selected Divakaruni’s works together with a review of multicultural literature scholarship formed the research methodology. Research outcomes demonstrate how Divakaruni’s writings create important chances to teach empathy skills while stimulating logical analysis so learners better grasp modern multicultural life. This paper ends with the author discussing study boundaries while presenting recommended research paths for upcoming investigations
The role of dietary proteins in atherosclerosis
No full textA series of experiments were carried out to investigate the role of dietary proteins in atherosclerosis with particular emphasis on the involvement of dietary protein in the immunological induction of atheroma and in cholesterol metabolism. Experiments 1 and 3 failed to produce complicated arterial lesions in rabbits by the combined effects of cholesterol feeding and serum antibody production to dietary protein. Clearly, the magnitude of the immune response to dietary protein was insufficient to mimic the effect of cholesterol feeding coupled with the immunological injury induced by serum sickness or graft rejection. The most significant observation to emerge from this part of the study was the development of immune tolerance to a given dietary protein in weanling rabbits induced by exposing their dams to the particular protein during the pre-weaning period. It was not possible to identify the nature of the tolerizing factor nor the critical stage of exposure i.e. in utero or during lactation.Several experiments were designed to investigate the hypocholesterolaemic effect of vegetable proteins. The possible role of plant saponins as the effective agents in soya bean induced hypocholesterolaemia was investigated. The increased excretion of faecal sterols due to saponin was not associated with a reduction in serum cholesterol. Furthermore, in studies with rats and hamsters fed hypercholesterolaemic diets (12 cholesterol + 0.252 cholic acid) there was no evidence that the dietary fibre (cellulose) reduced the serum cholesterol and no evidence to suggest that the addition of saponin to the diets altered the result. It was therefore concluded that whereas saponin may reduce the absorption of cholesterol, it does not alter the effect of dietary protein or fibre on serum cholesterol. It was also found that at nitrogen intakes of near maintenance, the hypocholesterolaemic effect of soya was still evident, although somewhat reduced. The nutritive value of methionine supplemented soya bean and cow's milk protein were compared in young rabbits. There was no evidence that nitrogen digestibility, nitrogen balance or the utilization of absorbed nitrogen differed between the two protein sources. From the above studies it may be concluded that dietary protein may exert a significant effect on the development of atherosclerosis partly through its effect on cholesterol metabolism and partly through its possible immunological injury.</p

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
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
