THE TYPES OF USAGE OF STONES AND GEMSTONES FOR TREATMENT PURPOSES IN TURKISH MEDICAL MANUSCRIPTS
Get PDFFolk medicine is a hard to classify and identify field, part of which can be reached from written text. In practises of both natural folk medicine and magicoreligious folk medicine, stones and ores are used to prevent and treat diseases. In natural folk medicine, stones and ores are used by swallowing, drinking its juice,
rubbing to the skin, tinging with kohl whereas in magico-religious practices of folk medicine, unlike the natural folk medicine, practices based on believed powers and energies are applied in which these practices are mainly applied by wearing as a
necklace or ring, carrying or hanging on the wall. In this study, examples based on natural folk medicine and magico-religious practices of worthless, semi-precious, precious stones mentioned in copyright, translation or compilation Turkish medical manuscripts written through XV.-XVII. centuries are given
TEZKİRE-İ ŞEYH SAFÎ’YE GÖRE ERDEBİL TEKKESİ’NDE SEMAH [SEMAH IN ARDABIL DARVISH LODGE ACCORDING TO TEZKIRE-I SHEIKH SAFI ]
No full textOne of the most important rituals of Alawi-Bektashi communities is semah. As well as it is important
to determine the meaning of the present shape, adornments, figures of the semah, reaching today by
being transferred from generation to generation as an element of oral culture, it is also important to
investigate the status of these items in the historical manuscripts. Each study on these topics will
contribute to both cultural and religious studies. One of the oldest and most fundamental sources
of the Ardabil Darvish Lodge and Safiaddin Ardabili is the work of Persian Safvatus-Safa of Ibn
Bazzaz. This work was translated into Turkish by Neshati in the 16th century. In the present study,
the information on semah in the British Museum Add.18548 copy of Tezkire-i Sheikh Safî, translated
from Safvetu’s-Safa by Neshati, is examined. Based on the information given directly or indirectly
about semah in Tezkire-i Sheikh Safî, features such as shape, duration, adornments, music, clothes
of semah which were applied in Ardabil Darvish Lodge at that time are tried to be explained. In
this way, the stationary aspects of semah and its changing aspects over the years will be revealed.
According to the information given in Tezkire-i Sheikh Safi, the semah performed in the Ardabil
Darvish Lodge due to vect, happiness and spiritual sign; could be done only with head, only with ear with the whole body and even without moving at all. In Tezkire-i Sheikh Safî it is stated that religious
leaders and darvishes as well as an animal and goods besides human, perform semah. In Tezkire-i
Sheikh Safi, althugh there is no definite information about the period or the special outfit of the semah
in the Ardabil Darvish Lodge; there is information about the etiquette and musical notes of semah

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

No full textVariations 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
