UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - ISRAEL RAPPROCHEMENT: A RATIONAL CHOICE OF EMIRATIS
Get PDFWhen the UAE and Israel decided to normalize diplomatic relations, later known as the Abraham Accords, the decision sparked global
controversy, especially from Islamic countries. One of the countries which vehemently condemned this deal was Iran. Iran viewed the
agreement as a form of betrayal of the Palestinian struggle. However, based on an analysis using the Balance of Threat theory, this article concluded that Iran had in fact caused UAE’s decision to normalize relations. It was because Iran, through its superiority of aggregate power, geographical proximity, and offensive policy character, presented a serious threat to the security of the UAE. Thus, the normalization of relations with Israel was the best and rational choice for the UAE in dealing with the Iranian threat. Through this normalization, the UAE has gained a new partner to jointly counterbalance Iran’s power and help in efforts to strengthen its own defense forces.
The Indonesian Army\u27s Dominance and its Consequences on Indonesia’s Balance of Power in South China Sea
No full textThis study aims to analyze the dominance of the Indonesian Army in fulfilling the Minimum Essential Force program in Indonesia from 2010-2021. As a country with a large territory and at the crossroads of international trade, Indonesia requires a strong defense posture, especially its maritime defense. The Indonesian government created the MEF program to improve the country\u27s declining defense posture by bringing military strength to a minimum standard of deterrence capability. The existence of gaps in fulfilling the MEF program, which is dominated by the Army, is one of the obstacles to the success of the objectives of the creationof the MEF program. This study uses the concept of Strategic Culture and Balance of Power. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative method and data collection through literature study by reading and re-processing the literature review that is relevant to this research. The results of this study indicate that Indonesia\u27s strategic culture significantly influences the sustainability of the MEF program and leads to the domination of the Indonesian Army, which then impacts Indonesia\u27s defense posture in the South China Sea regio
INTERDEPENDENSI EKONOMI SEBAGAI PENCIPTA PERDAMAIAN ASIA TIMUR
Get PDFKajian Hubungan internasional tidak bisa dipisahkan dari yang dikenal dengan konflik dan perdamaian. Dalam perkembangannya dinamika hubungan internasional sering kali diwarnai oleh terjadinya kedua hal tersebut. Kajian mengenai perdamaian dalam dunia internasional juga sudah banyak dilakukan. Kajian-kajian perdamaian ini kemudian menghasilkan teori-teori tersendiri seusai dengan tradisi pemikiran ilmu Hubungan Internasional. Melalui penelitian ini kemudian dapat disimpulkan bahwa faktor penyebab perdamaian di Asia Timur antara Tiongkok dengan Jepang dan Tiongkok dengan Korea Selatan sebagai akibat dari adanya interdpendensi ekonomi. Interdependensi ekonomi mampu dikonfirmasi melalui perdagangan maupun investasi (FDI). Dalam melakukan analisa, penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi pustaka. Dalam studi kepustakaan, data dan informasi dikumpulkan dan dianalisis untuk memahami fenomena yang dikajiInternational relations studies cannot be separated from what is known as conflict and peace. In its development the dynamics of international relations are often colored by the occurrence of these two things. Studies on peace in the realm of international relations have been carried out. These peace studies then produce their own theories in accordance with the tradition of thinking in International Relations. This article argues that economic interdependence is the one that makes peace happens in east asia between China and Japan and China and South Korea are a result of economic interdependence. Economic interdependence that can be confirmed is through trade and investment (FDI). In conducting analysis, this study uses qualitative research methods with a literature study approach. In library studies, data and information are collected and analyzed to understand the phenomenon being studied
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
