Lаminаrnа tehnologijа nа prelаzu iz srednjeg u gornji pаleolit nа teritoriji centrаlnog Bаlkаnа
Full text linkFilozofski fakultetPredmet istraživanja ove disertacije je laminarna tehnologija sa devet lokaliteta centralnog
Balkana, koji se datuju u period kasnog srednjeg i ranog gornjeg paleolita. Kako ovaj aspekt
tehnologije nije do sada detaljno razmatran, osnovni zadatak studije bio je definisati proces
proizvodnje sečiva i lamela u kasnom srednjem i ranom gornjem paleolitu na centralnom Balkanu.
Polazeći od pretpostavke da sistematska proizvodnja sečiva i lamela sa volumetrijskih jezgara
predstavlja inovaciju anatomski modernog čoveka (Homo sapiens), osnovni cilj disertacije bio je
uvideti da li se elementi ove tehnologije mogu pratiti na lokalitetima kasnog srednjeg paleolita i da li
se mogu smatrati dokazima interakcija neandertalaca i anatomski modernih ljudi.
Imajući u vidu pretpostavljene koridore naseljavanja anatomski modernih ljudi, izučavana
teritorija je podeljena na tri regiona: podunavski pojas, brdsko-planinsku zonu unutrašnjosti
Balkanskog poluostrva i primorsku zonu, na osnovu kojih je urađena komparacija dobijenih rezultata.
Rekonstrkcija laminarne tehnologije sprovedena je korišćenjem metoda analize atributa.
Na osnovu dobijenih rezultata, zaključeno je da laminarna tehnologija kasnog srednjeg paleolita
u okviru tri definisana regiona ne pokazuje promene u načinu proizvodnje sečiva i lamela koja bi
svedočila o potencijalnim uplivima gornjopaleolitske tehnologije. Sečiva i lamele iz ovog perioda se,
stoga, mogu smatrati produktima nesistematske proizvodnje koji predstavljaju deo lokalnog razvoja
tehnologije, a njihova pojava se pre može vezati za samu morfologiju jezgara sa kojih je vršeno
okresivanje, nego za hipotetičku interakciju sa anatomski modernim ljudima.The subject of this dissertation is laminar technology originating from nine sites in the Central
Balkans, which are dated to the late Middle and early Upper Paleolithic. As this aspect of technology
has not so far been examined in detail, the main task of the study was to define the process of blade
and bladelet production in the late Middle and early Upper Paleolithic of the Central Balkans.
Beginning with the assumption that the systematic production of blades and bladelets from
volumetric cores represents an innovation by anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens), the main
goal of this dissertation was to see whether the elements of this technology can be traced to sites of
the late Middle Paleolithic and whether they can be considered evidence of interactions between
Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans.
Taking into the account the assumed corridors for dispersal of anatomically modern humans, the
studied territory is divided into three regions: the Danubian belt, the hilly-mountainous zone of the
interior of the Balkan Peninsula, and the coastal zone, on the basis of which a comparison of the
obtained results was made. A reconstruction of laminar technology was conducted using attributebased analysis.
Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that the laminar technology of the late Middle
Paleolithic of the three defined regions shows no change in the production of blades and bladelets
which would indicate a potential influx of the Upper Paleolithic technology. Blades and bladelets
from this period can, therefore, be considered products of unsystematic production that are part of the
local development of technology, and their occurrence can be related to the morphology of the cores
used for knapping, rather than to hypothetical interaction with anatomically modern humans.
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
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
Human and carnivore activity during the Early Upper Palaeolithic in the Central Balkans: A case study of Orlovača cave, Serbia
No full textRecent research on the Early Upper Palaeolithic in the Balkan peninsula has been significant, as it has provided new information about cultural and demographic changes during this period and the role of the Danubian Corridor in the spread of modern humans towards central Europe. One of the recently discovered sites is Orlovača cave, located in village Panjevac in the Resava river valley in eastern Serbia. The site yielded archaeological remains from the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic. This study focuses on the vertebrate remains from the Aurignacian occupation levels. Faunal remains consist of a wide range of species, including four species of ungulates (Bison priscus, Cervus elaphus, Capra ibex, Equus sp.) and seven species of carnivores (Ursus spelaeus, Crocuta spelaea, Panthera spelaea, Canis lupus, Mustela nivalis, Mustela erminea, Vulpes vulpes) among which Ursus spelaeus is the most represented. Taphonomic analysis shows traces of human modifications and butchery, which points to human activity at this site, as well as, traces of carnivore activity evidenced by gnawed and digested bone fragments. This indicates that the faunal remains have been accumulated by both carnivore and human groups. The aim of this analysis is to understand to what degree humans and carnivores were respectively responsible for accumulating the bones in these occupation levels. The results indicate that Orlovača cave was mostly occupied by carnivores and that the cave was a temporary camp for human groups, as suggested by previous research
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
