AN ISLAND IN TWO TERRITORIES: KALYMNOS BETWEEN THE GREEK REVOLUTION AND OTTOMAN RULE (1824-1825)
No full textΔεν διατίθεται περίληψη στα ελληνικά.In early 1825, as the Greek Revolution in mainland Greece was entering a critical phase, a conflict between the island community of Kalymnos and the local prefect appointed by the central revolutionary administration escalated when the prefect reported to his superiors the secret relations between Kalymnos and the Ottoman authorities of neighbouring islands. It quickly became obvious that the community leaders of Kalymnos had sought to maintain official links with both the Greek and Ottoman ad¬ministrations, effectively acknowledging the simultaneous sovereignty of both rival powers over their island. Taking into account island’s location, economic profile, community politics, and limited institutional access to central revolutionary authorities to explain this seemingly paradoxical situation, this article examines the political choices of the inhabitants of Kalymnos during the Revolution as strategies for adapting to the unprecedented conditions created in the Aegean by the Greek War of Independence. In addition, the attitudes of the other two main actors involved in the episode, the local prefect and the Greek central admin¬istration, are studied, in an attempt to interpret their actions. Through the examination of this episode and the stance of Kalymnos, it is argued that the historiography on the frequent switches of allegiance by ethnic Greeks during the Revolution, which until now has focused exclusively on Roumeli and the Peloponnese, should expand to include the double loyalties of certain island communities of the Aegean
Rural Social Inequality in Nineteenth-Century Greece: Agricultural Wealth and Farming Income in the Southern Peloponnese (1830)
Get PDFThis article forms a part of a research project on agricultural wealth and farming income in the southern Peloponnese, as attested by a series of land surveys undertaken at the end of the Greek Revolution in territories controlled by the administration of Greek Governor Ioannis Kapodistrias in 1830. The article argues that the 1830 land survey forms an important primary source, unparalleled for nineteenth-century Greece, that so far has not been exploited by historians. Drawing evidence from a sample consisting of a numberof rural communities in the provinces of Agios Petros (modern North Kynouria) and Arkadiá (modern Trifyllia), the article discusses wealth and income inequality in early nineteenth-century rural Greece, challenging the prevailing view of an egalitarian society with little discernible social differences
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
The large landed estate owners of nineteenth-century Euboea
No full textThis doctoral dissertation explores the history of the large landed estate owners of the Greek island of Euboea for a period of about eighty years, from 1830 to 1910. After the end of the Greek Revolution, for reasons related to the extraordinary circumstances under which Euboea, as well as parts of the adjacent areas of Attica, Boeotia and Phthiotis formed part of the independent Greek kingdom in 1830, large landownership became the norm in these regions. However, the large landed estates of these areas have not yet become the subject of systematic research. Addressing this gap, to some extent, is the primary aim of this study, which focuses equally on the social, economic and political activities of this social stratum and attempts to place this analysis in the context of a broader international literature. To this end, private records of landowners’ families, as well as a variety of other primary sources, such as other private and state archives, published statistics, newspapers and magazines, travelers’ accounts and literary texts, are being used. The central theme underlying this research is the relationship between landlords and peasants (both the farmers of their properties and the independent smallholders of the surrounding areas, who often found work there), as it emerges through discourse, symbols and practices; it is indeed these relationships that essentially shape and define the identities of both parties. It is argued that, after the annexation of Euboea to the Greek kingdom (1833), the shortage of hands related to the abundance of available lands, the granting of full civil rights to the peasants and other secondary causes significantly bolstered the bargaining power of immediate producers in their relations with the landowners and mitigated the social tensions between the two sides. Moreover, the same causes fostered the acceptance among the landowners of a fundamentally paternalistic perception of their role. The study comprises seven chapters, a brief outline listing the main findings of the research, and three annexes.Αντικείμενο της διδακτορικής διατριβής είναι η ιστορία των μεγαλοκτηματιών της Εύβοιας για μια περίοδο ογδόντα ετών, από το 1830 έως το 1910 περίπου. Μολονότι στην Εύβοια, όπως και σε μεγάλο τμήμα της Ανατολικής Στερεάς Ελλάδας, την επαύριον της Ελληνικής Επανάστασης κυριαρχούσε το καθεστώς της μεγάλης γαιοκτησίας, για λόγους που σχετίζονται με τον τρόπο που οι περιοχές αυτές αποτέλεσαν μέρος του ελληνικού κράτους, μέχρι σήμερα τα μεγάλα κτήματα της Παλαιάς Ελλάδας και οι ιδιοκτήτες τους δεν έχουν αποτελέσει αντικείμενο συστηματικής έρευνας. Την έλλειψη αυτή φιλοδοξεί να θεραπεύσει, ως ένα βαθμό, αυτή η διατριβή, εστιάζοντας εξίσου στην κοινωνική, οικονομική και πολιτική δραστηριότητα του κοινωνικού αυτού στρώματος και επιχειρώντας τη μελέτη του σε συνάρτηση με την υπάρχουσα διεθνή βιβλιογραφία για τη μεγάλη γαιοκτησία. Για το σκοπό αυτόν αξιοποιούνται ιδιωτικά αρχεία γαιοκτημονικών οικογενειών, αλλά και μια ποικιλία άλλων πρωτογενών τεκμηρίων, όπως αρχεία άλλων ιδιωτών και κρατικών φορέων, δημοσιευμένες στατιστικές, εφημερίδες, περιοδικά, μαρτυρίες περιηγητών και λογοτεχνικά κείμενα. Το κεντρικό ερώτημα το οποίο διατρέχει την έρευνα αφορά τις σχέσεις ανάμεσα στους μεγαλοκτηματίες και τον αγροτικό πληθυσμό της νήσου, τόσο τους καλλιεργητές των ιδιοκτησιών τους όσο και τους ανεξάρτητους μικροϊδιοκτήτες των γύρω περιοχών, όπως οι σχέσεις αυτές αποδεσμεύονται μέσα από το λόγο, τα σύμβολα και τις πρακτικές· είναι άλλωστε οι μεταξύ τους σχέσεις που κατεξοχήν διαμορφώνουν και νοηματοδοτούν τις ταυτότητες και των δύο πλευρών. Όπως υποστηρίζεται, η ανισορροπία ανάμεσα στον αγροτικό πληθυσμό και τη διαθέσιμη γη, η χορήγηση πλήρων πολιτικών δικαιωμάτων στους χωρικούς και άλλες δευτερεύουσες αιτίες ενίσχυσαν σημαντικά μετά την προσάρτηση της Εύβοιας στο ελληνικό κράτος (1833) τη διαπραγματευτική θέση των άμεσων παραγωγών στις σχέσεις τους με τους γαιοκτήμονες και άμβλυναν τις έντονες κοινωνικές αντιθέσεις ανάμεσα στις δύο πλευρές, ευνοώντας την καλλιέργεια ανάμεσα στους κτηματίες μιας κατά βάση πατερναλιστικού τύπου αντίληψης για το ρόλο τους. Η διατριβή διαρθρώνεται σε επτά κεφάλαια, ένα σύντομο επίλογο που εκθέτει τα κυριότερα από τα συμπεράσματα της έρευνας και τρία παραρτήματα
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
