Shaping an ASEM (Higher) Education Area: Hybrid Sectoral Regionalism from Within
No full textThere is now a growing literature on regions and regionalisms, and on the role of the higher education sector in regional projects, such as Europe. The main thrust of this chapter is to bring these two into conversation with each other through examining how a region and sector relate to each other in terms of the consequences of sectoral cooperation for the region, on the one hand, and of regional cooperation on the sector, on the other. My entry point is the construction of a new ‘regional sectoral space’ between Asia and Europe, designated as an Asia–Europe Meeting (ASEM) Education Area by the ASEM Ministers of Education in 2011. In particular, the chapter seeks answers to the following questions: How and through what process has the ASEM education process emerged as a region-building project? How and why was higher education made a key priority on the ASEM education agenda? Three aspects to this distinctive regionalizing process will be developed in this chapter. The first is that the ASEM Education Area is a hybrid in that it develops traits from novel combinations of the Bologna Process, on the one hand, and Asian experiences on the other, through its regional educational cooperation activities. The second is that it is sectoral. That is, it refers to those processes in the higher education sector which are distinct from, and thus different to, ASEM cooperation in other sectors (such as trade, public health, environment, transport or security). The third, regionalism from within, is used to explain the distinct features of the ASEM education process that have been shaped by the national interests of member countries and the inter-subjective knowledge which has emerged from within the community of actors who are endogenous to the higher education sector
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
TRUONG DANG QUE AND HIS CONTRIBUTIONS UNDER THE REIGN OF KING MINH MENH (1820 – 1841)
Get PDFLà một đại thần của vương triều Nguyễn, Trương Đăng Quế đã có những cống hiến trên nhiều lĩnh vực. Đặc biệt, dưới triều vua Minh Mệnh (1820-1841), với chính sách dùng người linh hoạt, trọng thực tài của nhà vua, Trương Đăng Quế đang ở độ tuổi sung sức nhất đã có những điều kiện thuận lợi để thể hiện phẩm chất, năng lực của mình; có nhiều cống hiến quan trọng cho vương triều, cho đất nước. Bằng các phương pháp của khoa học lịch sử, dựa vào tài liệu chính sử, bài viết tập trung phân tích, làm rõ những hoạt động của Trương Đăng Quế trong thời kì trị vì của vua Minh Mệnh. Đồng thời, qua đó còn cho thấy quan điểm và cách dùng người của vua Minh Mệnh; nguyên nhân, bối cảnh lịch sử của cải cách hành chính cũng như những công việc mà nhà vua vẫn phải tiếp tục tiến hành để hoàn thiện công cuộc cải cách. Trương Đăng Quế chính là một trong những cận thần thân tín hỗ trợ đắc lực cho Minh Mệnh trong các hoạt động nhằm tăng cường hiệu lực quản lí của Nhà nước trung ương tập quyền.Truong Dang Que, a high official of the Nguyen dynasty in the 19th century, is known for his contributions to various fields. Specifically, under the reign of King Minh Menh (1820-1841), with the king\u27s policy that advocates flexibility in human management and talent-oriented, Truong Dang Que, who was in his prime, had favorable conditions to demonstrate his qualities and abilities, thus having many important contributions to the dynasty and the country. Using historical methods and based on official historical documents, the article focuses on analyzing and clarifying Truong Dang Que\u27s activities during the reign of King Minh Menh. Besides, it also shows the point of view and human management of King Minh Menh as well as the work that the king must continue to complete the administrative reform. Truong Dang Que was one of the trusted courtiers who effectively supported King Minh Menh to continue his ideas on reform implementation to strengthen the management effectiveness of the centralized state
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
