No full textCilj ovog rada bio je istraživati, analizirati i valorizirati fenomen crkve sv. Blaža u Vodnjanu, s pripadajućom Zbirkom sakralnih umjetnosti, Svetim tijelima i relikvijama svetaca, kao vrijedan primjer kulturno-povijesnog spomenika Vodnjanštine. Predstavlja reprezentativan izdanak ovoga područja i cjelokupne kulturne baštine, koja doživljava u zadnje vrijeme vrlo pozitivne trenutke, posebice kroz prizmu turizma. Sve je više interesa i želje u otkrivanju novih destinacija od strane stručnjaka, u svojstvu istraživanja, ali i od strane običnih posjetitelja. Fenomen vjerskog i sakralnog turizma, kao poseban oblik turizma, nesumnjivo predstavlja važnu i atraktivnu realnost u svrhu promicanja i popularizacije kulturne baštine. Takvu vrstu turizma karakterizira stalni trend rasta te nesumnjivo predstavlja zanimljivu stvarnost, s ekonomskog i gospodarskog gledišta. Istraživanje je provedeno metodom analize sadržaja, gdje je obuhvaćena sva dostupna stručna literatura u obliku udžbenika, monografija, zapisa crkvenih stručnjaka, internetskih izvora i osobnih svećeničkih zapisa.The aim of this paper was to investigate, analyze and valorize the phenomenon of the church of Saint Blaž (Blaise) in Vodnjan, with its Collection of Sacral Arts, Sacred Bodies and Relics of Saints, as a valuable example of the cultural and historical monument of Vodnjan area. It represents a symbolic instance of this area and the entire cultural heritage, which has been experiencing very positive moments recently, especially in tourism. There is more and more interest and desire in discovering new destinations not only by experts who use it for their research, but also by "ordinary" visitors. The phenomenon of religious and sacral tourism, as a special form of tourism, undoubtedly represents an important and attractive reality for the purpose of promoting and popularizing cultural heritage. This type of tourism is characterized by a constant trend of growth, and undoubtedly represents an interesting reality, from an economic point of view. The research was carried out using the method of content analysis, where all available professional literature was applied, in the form of textbooks, monographs, records of church experts, internet sources and priest’s personal records
The art of dry-stone walling
No full textUmijeće suhozidne gradnje predstavlja jedinstveni i dragocjeni primjer nematerijalne kulturne baštine. Ova tehnika tradicijskog graditeljstva, u kojoj se kao materijal koristi isključivo kamen, nije samo jedan oblik arhitekture već i nematerijalno dobro izraženo kroz puno povijesnih, kulturnih i društvenih značenja. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio je analizirati umijeće suhozidne gradnje kao nematerijalno dobro, ispitujući njegovu kulturnu vrijednost, tehnike gradnje, tradicionalne prakse i aktualne izazove za njegovu zaštitu. Kroz rad je prikazan povijesni pregled suhozidne gradnje, od njezinih početaka u drevnim civilizacijama do njezinog širenja u novije doba. Istraženi su različiti stilovi i tehnike usvojene u različitim kulturama, na temelju suhozida i tradicionalnih građevina. Komparativnom analizom ukazalo se na sličnosti i razlike u graditeljskim praksama te njihovo kulturno značenje. UNESCO kao krovna organizacija, ali i mnoge druge zemlje, priznali su i zaštitili umijeće suhozidne gradnje kao vrijedan oblik nematerijalne kulturne baštine, naglašavajući njezinu važnost ne samo kao tehniku gradnje, već i kao izraz lokalne kulture i identiteta. U tom kontekstu suhozidna gradnja nije samo način gradnje, već postaje simbol održivosti i prilagodbe izazovima okoliša. Danas se može kazati da suhozidna gradnja na neki način doživljava svoju renesansu, zahvaljujući rastućem interesu za održivom arhitekturom i ekološko prihvatljivim tehnikama. Ovaj oblik gradnje je ekološki prihvatljiv jer koristi lokalne materijale i zahtijeva malo ili nimalo energije za gradnju. Osim toga, suhozidne konstrukcije često su otpornije na ekstremne vremenske prilike kao što su poplave i potresi, od tradicionalne gradnje. Zaključno, suhozidna gradnja predstavlja tehniku gradnje bogate povijesti i kulturnog značaja. Kroz stoljeća i različite civilizacije pokazala je ljudsku sposobnost prilagodbe i interakcije s okolišem. Danas, dok se suočavamo s izazovima klimatskih promjena i održivosti, bitno je ponovno otkriti i unaprijediti ove tradicionalne prakse koje nam nude inovativna i ekološki prihvatljiva rješenja. Suhozidna gradnja nije samo nasljeđe prošlosti, već i prilika za izgradnju održive budućnosti.The art of dry stone walling represents a unique and valuable example of intangible cultural heritage. This traditional building technique, in which stone is used exclusively as the material, is not just a form of architecture but also an intangible asset expressed through a wealth of historical, cultural, and social meanings. The aim of this thesis was to analyze the art of dry stone walling as intangible heritage by examining its cultural value, construction techniques, traditional practices, and current challenges for its protection. The paper provides a historical overview of dry stone walling, from its beginnings in ancient civilizations to its expansion in modern times. Various styles and techniques adopted in different cultures based on dry stone walls and traditional buildings have been explored. A comparative analysis higlighted similarities and differences in construction as a valuable form of intagible cultural heritage, emphasizing its importance not only as a building technique but also as an expression of local culture and identity. UNESCO, as the leading organization, along with many other countries, has recognized and protected the art of dry stone walling as a valuable form of intangible cultural heritage, emphasizing its importance not only as a building technique but also as an expression of local culture and identity. In this context, dry stone walling is not just a method of building but becomes a symbol of sustainability and adaptation to environmental challenges. Today, it can be said that dry stone walling is experiencing a sort of renaissance, thanks to the growing interest in sustainable architecture and environmentally friendly techniques. This form of walling is ecologically friendly because it uses local materials and requires little or no energy for walling. Additionally, dry stone structures are often more resistant to extreme weather conditions than traditional buildings. In conclusion, dry stone walling represents a building technique rich in history and cultural significance. Throughout centuries and different civilizations, it has demonstrated human adaptability and interaction with the environment. Today, as we face the challenges of climate change and sustainability, it is essential to rediscover and enhance these traditional practices, which offer innovative and environmentally friendly solutions. Dry stone walling is not just a heritage of the past, but also an opportunity for building a sustainable future

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
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
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
