The art of falconry and the possibility of its touristic valorization
No full textVeć tisućama godina u mnogim krajevima svijeta postoji tradicija sokolarstva, tj. korištenja sokolova u svrhu lova na divljač. Prema Blaineu (2002) sokolarenje jest umijeće korištenja ptica grabljivica u službi čovjeka, a Žižanović (2004) ističe da je riječ o „lovu s pomoću sokolova i srodnih ptica grabljivica i vježbanju tih ptica za lov“. Povijest umijeća sokolarenja stara je gotovo kao povijest najranijih razvijenih civilizacija. Važnost ovog umijeća prepoznao je i UNESCO te je 2010. godine uvršteno na popis svjetske nematerijalne kulturne baštine više zemalja (UAE, Belgija, Češka, Francuska, Južna Koreja, Mongolija, Maroko, Katar, Saudijska Arabija, Sirija i Španjolska), a 2012. godine priključile su se Austrija i Mađarska. Moglo bi se ustvrditi kako kulturni značaj umijeća sokolarenja počiva na tisućljetnoj prisutnosti tokom povijesti čovječanstva i na njegovom multinacionalnom karakteru. UNESCO sokolarstvo koristi kao primjer dobre prakse na području međunarodne suradnje koja je, iako raširena po kulturološki vrlo različitim zemljama, opet konkretna manifestacija žive sokolarske tradicije. Turističke manifestacije u čijem je fokusu umijeće sokolarenja počele su se razvijati početkom 21. stoljeća s ciljem očuvanja, veće promocije i širenja svijesti javnosti o značaju ovoga umijeća. Zaključno, turističko vrednovanje umijeća sokolarenja ima svojih pozitivnih i negativnih strana. Pozitivni aspekti ogledaju se u promociji i zaštiti umijeća, upoznavanju šire javnosti s ovim tradicijskim umijećem te ekonomskim i drugim koristima koji bi proizašli kao rezultat. Negativni aspekti odnose se na komodifikaciju i dekontekstualizaciju umijeća gdje ono gubi svoj izvorni značaj, iskorištavanje i eventualno zlostavljanje ptica grabljivica te otuđivanje od istinskih nositelja ove kulturne baštine. Republika Hrvatska ima velik potencijal za dodatan razvoj lovnog turizma i ostalih sličnih niša. S obzirom da je sokolarstvo jedan od segmenata koji pripadaju u domenu lovnog turizma treba sagledati kakve se sve mogućnosti turističke valorizacije umijeća sokolarenja mogu realizirati.For thousands of years, there has been a tradition of falconry in many parts of the world, i.e. using falcons for the purpose of hunting game. According to Blaine (2002), falconry is the art of using birds of prey in the service of man, and Žižanović (2004) points out that it is about "hunting with the help of falcons and related birds of prey and training these birds for hunting". The history of the art of falconry is almost as old as the history of the earliest developed civilizations. The importance of this art was recognized by UNESCO and in 2010 it was included in the list of world intangible cultural heritage of several countries (UAE, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, South Korea, Mongolia, Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Spain), and in 2012 Austria and Hungary joined. It could be argued that the cultural significance of the art of falconry rests on its millennial presence throughout the history of mankind and on its multinational character. UNESCO uses falconry as an example of good practice in the field of international cooperation, which, although spread over culturally very different countries, is again a concrete manifestation of a living falconry tradition. Tourist events focusing on the art of falconry began to develop at the beginning of the 21st century with the aim of preserving, promoting and spreading public awareness of the importance of this art. In conclusion, tourist evaluation of the art of falconry has its positive and negative sides. The positive aspects are reflected in the promotion and protection of the art, familiarizing the general public with this traditional art, and the economic and other benefits that would arise as a result. The negative aspects refer to the commodification and decontextualization of art where it loses its original significance, the exploitation and possible abuse of birds of prey, and alienation from the true bearers of this cultural heritage. The Republic of Croatia has great potential for further development of hunting tourism and other similar niches. Given that falconry is one of the segments that belong to the domain of hunting tourism, it is necessary to look at all the possibilities of touristic valorization of the art of falconry that can be realize

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
