Evaluation of the activities of the Presidency of Religious Affairs Youth Coordinatorship in accordance with the opinions of the staff
No full textGençlik, bireyin yaşamında en aktif olduğu dönemlerden biridir ve bu süreçte fiziksel, bilişsel, psiko-sosyal gelişim alanları itibariyle birtakım gelişimsel değişiklikler meydana gelmektedir. Çocukluktan gençlik dönemine geçen bireyin düşünce yapısı, kendisi ve çevresi ile olan ilişkileri, yaratıcıya ve dine olan yaklaşımı da değişmektedir. Gençlerin etrafındaki çoğu şey onları heyecanlandırmakta ve ilgilerini çekmektedir. Gençlerin artan ilgileri onları çoğu konu hakkında bilgi sahibi yaparken bazı alanlarda ise istenmeyen durumları beraberinde getirebilmektedir. Gençlik döneminin kendine has gelişimsel özellikleri onların zaman zaman risk almalarına, hatalı tutum ve davranışlar geliştirmelerine neden olabilmektedir. Bu gibi durumlarda onların dinamizmini en iyi şekilde kanalize edecek, onları milli ve manevi değerler doğrultusunda yönlendirecek organizasyonlara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı işte bu amaç doğrultusunda gençleri hedef alan çeşitli faaliyetler düzenlemektedir. Bu amacı gerçekleştirmeye yönelik olarak Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı bünyesinde Gençlik Koordinatörlükleri kurulmuştur. Bu birim tarafından koordine edilen faaliyetler ile gençlerle ortak bir paydada buluşulmaya çalışılmaktadır. Son yıllarda hız kazanan bu faaliyetlerin bazıları, çeşitli bakanlıklarla iş birliği protokolleri çerçevesinde planlanmaktadır. Gençlerin yalnızca boş zamanlarını değerlendirme amacında olmayan bu etkinlikler; gençlerin sağlıklı bir kimlik geliştirmelerini, başarılı bir biçimde sosyalleşmelerini ve özellikle manevi gelişimlerini hedef almaktadır. Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı'nın yürütmüş olduğu gençlik çalışmalarının, çalışmaları yürüten personellerin gözünden nasıl görüldüğü ve söz konusu çalışmalar hakkındaki değerlendirmeleri oldukça önem arz etmekte, mevcut ve gelecekteki çalışmaların nitelik ve niceliği için belirleyici rol oynamaktadır. Bu amaçla gerçekleştirilen çalışma nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılarak ele alınmış, veri toplama tekniği olarak ise görüşme tercih edilmiştir. Amasya ili ve ilçelerindeki gençlik koordinatörlükleri bünyesinde görev yapan 24 kurum personeli ile görüşülmüş, katılımcıların yapmış olduğu değerlendirmeler; "Mesleki Yeterlilikler", "Mesleki Tutumlar", "Uygulama Süreci", "Karşılaşılan Sorunlar" ve "Öneri ve Beklentiler" olmak üzere beş tema altında sınıflandırılmıştır. Buna göre, Gençlik Koordinatörlüğünde çalışan personelin çoğunun, almış olduğu eğitimin bu görev alanı için yeterli olmadığını düşündüğü, bu görev alanında çalışmak konusunda talepkâr olmadıkları, gençlerle iletişim kurmakta ise kendilerini başarılı gördükleri, verdikleri hizmet sürecinde gerek kendi kurumlarından gerekse işbirliği içinde oldukları kurumlardan kaynaklanan birtakım olumsuzluklar yaşadıkları ve kurumları bünyesinde, çalışma alanlarıyla ilgili birtakım düzenlemeleri gerekli gördükleri tespit edilmiştir.Youth is one of the most active periods in an individual's life, and in this process, some developmental changes occur in physical, cognitive, and psycho-social development areas. As the individual moves from childhood to adolescence, his mindset, his relationships with himself and his environment, and his approach to the Creator and religion also change. Many things around young people excite and interest them. While the increasing interest of young people makes them knowledgeable about many subjects, it can also bring about undesirable situations in some areas. The unique developmental characteristics of youth may sometimes cause them to take risks and develop faulty attitudes and behaviors. In such cases, organizations are needed that will channel their dynamism in the best way and direct them in line with national and spiritual values. In line with this purpose, the Presidency of Religious Affairs organizes various activities for young people. To achieve this aim, Youth Coordinatorships were established within the Presidency of Religious Affairs. Through the activities coordinated by this unit, we try to reach a common ground with young people. Some of these activities, which have gained momentum in recent years, are planned within the framework of cooperation protocols with various ministries. These activities are not just for the purpose of spending young people's free time; it also aims for young people to develop a healthy identity, socialize successfully and especially their spiritual development. How the youth work carried out by the Presidency of Religious Affairs is seen through the eyes of the personnel carrying out the work and their evaluations of the work in question are very important and play a determining role in the quality and quantity of current and future work. The study carried out for this purpose was conducted using the qualitative research method, and interview was preferred as the data collection technique. Interviews were conducted with 24 personnel working within the Youth Coordinatorships in Amasya province and its districts, and the evaluations made by the participants classified under five themes: "Professional Competencies", "Professional Attitudes", "Implementation Process", "Problems Encountered" and "Suggestions and Expectations". Accordingly, most of the personnel working in the Youth Coordinatorships think that the education they have received is not sufficient for this field of duty, they are not demanding to work in this field of duty, they consider themselves successful in communicating with young people, and they experience some negativities arising from both their own institutions and the institutions they cooperate with during the service they provide. It has been determined that they find it necessary to make some arrangements regarding their workplaces and workplaces within their institutions
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
