OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF WINE TOURISM IN THE DOURO RIVER REGION
No full textPortugal is one of the largest producers of wine in Europe and the world. This is a good prerequisite for the development of wine tourism. There are 8 wine-growing regions and 11 tourist routes in the country. The Douro region is the oldest demarcated wine region in the world. Since the 18th century, Port wine has been world-renowned for its quality. This long tradition of viticulture creates a cultural landscape of exceptional beauty and opportunities for tourism development. Since 2001, the region has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO
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
Geographic location and contemporary state borders of Bulgaria
Full text linkThe article examines the geographic location of Bulgaria. The geographic location of a country can be astronomical, natural, economic, and political. It traces the changes in the territory of Bulgaria from 1878 until the end of World War II. The article features the borders of Bulgaria and its neighbors in economic and political perspective. This is useful, given the relations between Bulgaria and the neighboring countries: Romania, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece and Turkey. After the end of the Cold War, the new geopolitical situation in the Balkan and in Europe leads to changes in the relations between the Balkan countries. Their borders and the border areas turn into zones of intensive cooperation. As a result, there is a process of regional integration between Balkan countries, including Bulgaria, and from them with Europe also. This process is facilitated by Bulgaria's membership in NATO and the EU. The article used modern research methods, figures, tables and schematic map.O artigo examina a localização geográfica da Bulgária sob o ponto de vista astronômico e natural mas, principalmente, em termos econômicos e políticos a fim de retraçar suas mudanças territoriais entre 1878 a 1945 — incluindo suas relações com os vizinhos Romênia, Sérvia, Macedônia, Grécia e Turquia. Após o fim da Guerra Fria, a nova situação geopolítica internacional modifica o diálogo entre os países balcânicos. Suas fronteiras e áreas limítrofes tornaram-se zonas de intensa cooperação, e o resultado disto é um processo de integração regional (Balcãs) e continental (Europa), facilitado pela adesão da Bulgária à OTAN e à União Européia.L'article examine l'emplacement géographique (sous le point du vue astronomique et naturel, mais surtout en termes économique et politique) de la Bulgarie à fin de retracer ses changements territoriales de 1878 à 1945 — y compris les relations avec ses voisins Roumaine, Serbie, Macécoine, Grèce et Turquie. Après la fin de la Guerre Froide, la nouvelle situation géopolitique internationale modifie le dialogue entre les pays des Balkans. Leurs frontières et leurs zones frontalières se transforment en espaces de coopération intensive, et le résultat c’est un processus d’intégration régionale (au niveau des Balkans) et continentale (au niveau de l’Europe) aidée par l'adhésion de la Bulgarie à l'OTAN et à l'Union Européenne.El artículo analiza la situación geográfica de Bulgaria. La ubicación geográfica de um país puede ser astronómica, natural, económica y política. Traza los cambios en el territorio de Bulgaria desde 1878 hasta el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Aún así, el muestra las fronteras de Bulgaria y de sus vecinos en una perspectiva económica y política. Esto es útil, dadas las relaciones entre Bulgaria y los países vecinos: Rumania, Serbia, Macedonia, Grecia y Turquía. Tras el final de la Guerra Fría, la nueva situación geopolítica em los Balcanes y en Europa lleva a los cambios en las relaciones entre los países de los Balcanes. Sus fronteras y las zonas fronterizas se convierten en zonas de intensa cooperación. Como resultado, hay un proceso de integración regional (Balcanes) y continental (europeo) de los países de los Balcanes, entre ellos Bulgaria. Este proceso se ve facilitado por la pertenencia de Bulgaria en la OTAN y la UE
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
