    The internationalization of the Kosovo issue in the international arena had been quite a process difficult, which was influenced by different actors. First of all, it should be noted that since In the 1990s, the peaceful policy followed by the albanians led by the historical leader Ibrahim In its beginnings, Rugova was seen as necessary. This necessity was described as right. until 1995, when the Dayton Conference was held. After holding the Conference of At Dayton, the abanians felt excluded and their case was not discussed at all Conference, this was thought to be a clear order for the Albanians from the international factor. Even in this conference there were diplomats who responded to the Albanians as to why it was not discussed their issue at the Rambuje Conference, he had said that they had been invited to Rambuje those who had fought. So it was necessary to think about the radicalization of the movement and its actions. Albanians in relation to the violence and genocide that was continuing to happen to them in Kosovo by the Milosevic regime. Thus, after the massacres that began to take place in Qireza and Likošan and Prekaz, it was clearly seen that only with an armed war, maybe the Albanians could be dealt with higher levels of international diplomacy and could become part of the Conferences international like that of Rambuje. Rambuje was rightly described as the highest level of internationalization of the Kosovo issue, this also forgives the liberation war of the KLA that they had albanians started. So, without this war, a conference of such a level would hardly be organized international and that the Kosovo issue would be treated so seriously by the Community International. Therefore, I think that the Rambouillet Conference was the beginning of a new chapter for Kosovo and the albanians, a chapter which will culminate with the liberation of Kosovo from Serbia and its independence in 2008.Ndërkombëtarizimi i çështjes së Kosovës në arenën ndërkombëtare kishte qenë një proces mjaftë i vështirë, në të cilën kishin ndikuar akterë nga më të ndryshëm. Sëpari duhet theksuar që nga vitet 1990 politika paqësore e ndjekur nga shqiptarët në krye me liderin historik Ibrahim Rugovën në fillimet e saj ishte parë e domosdoshme. Kjo domosdoshmëri u cilësua si e drejt deri në vitet 1995, kur edhe ishte mbajtur Konferenca e Dejtonit. Pas mbajtjes së Konferencës së Dejtonit shqiptarët ishin ndjerë të përjashtuar dhe çështja e tyre nuk ishte diskutuar fare në këtë Konferencë, kjo mendohej se ishte një porosi e qartë për shqiptarët nga faktori ndërkombëtar. Bile në këtë konferencë kishte pasur diplomat që si përgjigje ndaj shqiptarëve se pse nuk ishte diskutuar çështja e tyre në Konferencën e Rambujesë, ai kishte thënë që në Rambuje ishin ftuar ata që kishin luftuar. Pra duhej të mendohej për radikalizimin e lëvizjes dhe veprimeve të shqiptarëve në raport me dhunën dhe gjenocidin që po vazhdonte të ndodhte ndaj tyre në Kosovë nga regjimi i Millosheviçit. Kështu pas masakrave që filluan të ndodhnin në Qirezë e Likoshan e Prekaz, shihej qartë që vetëm me luftë të armatosur ndoshta shqiptarët mund të trajtoheshin në nivele më të larta të diplomacisë ndërkombëtare dhe mund të bëheshin pjesë e Konferencave ndërkombëtare si ajo e Rambujesë. Rambuje ishte cilësuar me plotë të drejt si niveli më i lartë i ndërkombëtarizimit të çështjes së Kosovës, kjo fal edhe luftës çlirimtare të UÇK-së që kishin filluar shqiptarët. Pra pa këtë luftë vështirë që do të organizohej një konferencë e nivelit të tillë ndërkombëtare dhe që do të trajtohej çështja e Kosovës në mënyrë kaq serioze nga Bashkësia Ndërkombëtare. Prandaj mendoj që Konferenca e Rambujesë ishte një fillim i një kapitulli të ri për Kosovën dhe shqiptarët, kapitull i cili do të kulmoj me çlirimin e Kosovës nga Serbia dhe pavarësinë e saj në vitin 2008

    This research deals with the overall situation in Kosovo during the period of international administration, with particular focus on the March 2004 unrest in Kosovo and the consequences and effects of these developments on the Kosovo status process. By consulting documents, reports, and literature, a clearer overview can be created of the effects these disturbances had on the initiation of negotiations regarding Kosovo’s status. It is evident that such an escalatory situation was the result of numerous social, political, and economic circumstances. One of the factors that contributed to the outbreak of the unrest, as noted by many political experts, was the error made by the UN Interim Administration in Kosovo, which had failed to clarify Kosovo’s future status. The lack of clarity regarding Kosovo’s future began to generate concern and frustration among the local population, particularly among Albanians. Thus, even a small spark was enough for the situation to erupt. An incident that quickly escalated occurred with the drowning of three Albanian children in the Ibar River in Mitrovica. The rapid escalation of the demonstrations in Kosovo in 2004 was a clear indicator of how fragile the political, social, and economic situation in Kosovo was. This prompted the international factor, especially the UN, to take the process of initiating negotiations on Kosovo’s status much more seriously. Although these disturbances damaged Kosovo’s international reputation, an undeniable fact is that they accelerated the opening of talks regarding Kosovo’s status - a necessary decision that could no longer be postponed. Many international diplomats, including Holbrooke, Kai Eide, and Martti Ahtisaari, agreed with this assessment. Consequently, in 2005, preparations began with the formation of the negotiating team that would represent Kosovo in the Vienna talks. The March 2004 unrest was a clear signal that the status quo could no longer be maintained by the UN Interim Administration in Kosovo.Ky hulumtim ka të bëjë me situatën e përgjithshme në Kosovë gjatë administrimit ndërkombëtar, me fokus të veçantë trazirat e marsit të vitit 2004 në Kosovë dhe pasojat dhe efektet e këtyre zhvillimeve në procesin e statusit të Kosovës. Përmes konsultimit të dokumenteve, raporteve dhe literaturës mund të krijohet një pasqyrë më e qartë e efekteve që prodhuan këto trazira në procesin e fillimit të bisedimeve për statusin e Kosovës. Shihet qartë që deri te një situatë e tillë eskaluese kishin sjellë shumë rrethana sociale, politike dhe ekonomike. Një nga faktorët që kishte ndikuar në fillimin e trazirave, që ishte konstatuar nga shumë ekspertë politikë, ishte gabimi që kishte bërë administrata e përkohshme ndërkombëtare e OKB-së në Kosovë, që nuk kishte qartësuar statusin e ardhshëm të Kosovës. Mosqartësimi i statusit të ardhshëm të Kosovës kishte filluar të shkaktonte shqetësime dhe frustrime te popullata vendore, sidomos tek ajo shqiptare. Prandaj mjaftonte një shkëndijë e vogël që situata të shpërthente. Një incident eskalues, i cili u përhap shumë shpejt, ndodhi me mbytjen e tre fëmijëve shqiptarë në lumin Ibër në Mitrovicë. Zgjerimi shumë i shpejtë i demonstratave në Kosovë në vitin 2004 ishte një tregues i qartë se sa e brishtë ishte situata politike, sociale dhe ekonomike në Kosovë, andaj kjo bëri që faktori ndërkombëtar, sidomos OKB-ja, të fillonte të merrej shumë më seriozisht me procesin e hapjes së bisedimeve për statusin e Kosovës. Edhe pse këto trazira dëmtuan reputacionin ndërkombëtar të Kosovës, një fakt i pamohueshëm është se u përshpejtua hapja e bisedimeve rreth statusit të Kosovës që ishte një vendim i duhur dhe nuk mund të shtyhej më tutje çështja e statusit politik të Kosovës. Me këtë konstatim ishin pajtuar edhe shumë diplomatë ndërkombëtarë si: Holbrooke, Kai Eide, Martti Ahtisaari, prandaj pas një viti, në vitin 2005 edhe filluan përgatitjet duke u krijuar ekipi negociator që do të përfaqësonte Kosovën në bisedimet e Vjenës. Trazirat e marsit të vitit 2004 ishin një sinjal se status quo-ja nuk mund të vazhdonte më tej nga administrata e përkohshme e OKB-së në Kosovë

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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
