Tourism in Šibenik area
Get PDFU radu se analiziraju faktori razvoja turizma – prirodni i društveni atrakcijski faktori, komunikacijski faktori te receptivni faktori šibenskog priobalnog područja s naglaskom na Šibenik, Vodice i Primošten. Rad sadrži i osvrt na dosadašnji turistički razvoj područja te se razmatraju suvremeni trendovi kroz statističke i druge pokazatelje. Osim toga, rad ukazuje na probleme trenutačne turističke ponude i prijedlog budućeg turističkog razvoja.The paper analyses multiple factors of tourist development including natural and social attraction factors, communication factors and receptive factors of the wider coastal area of Šibenik including Šibenik, Vodice and Primošten. It also includes a review of past tourist development of the area and contemporary trends using statistical and other indicators. Lastly, the paper adresses current problems of the areas' tourist offer and an proposes a plan of future development
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
Living with tourism on the small islands in the Sibenik archipelago
No full textMali otoci šibenskog arhipelaga, obuhvaćeni teorijskim dijelom ovog
istraživanja, su Kaprije, Krapanj, Zlarin, Prvić i Žirje. Negativni demografski i gospodarski
trendovi, ali povoljna prirodno-geografska osnova i kulturni krajolik, pogodovali su razvoju
turizma kao glavne djelatnosti ovoga područja. U radu su prikazani čimbenici koji su
uvjetovali razvoj turizma, kao i trenutačna turistička ponuda te statistički pokazatelji razvoja
turizma. Utjecaj turizma je sveobuhvatan i višestruko značajan, kako na geografski prostor,
tako i na život ljudi koji na otocima stalno ili češće borave. Njihovi stavovi i mišljenja o
suživotu s turizmom i utjecaju turizma na različite aspekta njihova života, ispitani su
metodama anketnog istraživanja, intervjua i opažanja pojava i procesa na Zlarinu i Krapnju,
kao turistički najrazvijenijim predstavnicima ove male otočne skupine. Radom se određuje
učinak turizma na kvalitetu života na malom otoku te njegova uloga u potencijalnoj
demografskoj i gospodarskoj revitalizaciji ovoga prostoraSmall islands of the Šibenik archipelago, which are included in the research, are
Kaprije, Krapanj, Zlarin, Prvić and Žirje. Negative demographic and economic trends, as
well as favorable physical geography factors and cultural landscape, helped development of
tourism as the principal activity in these areas. This paper presents factors that conditioned
the development of tourism, and current tourist supply and demand, as well as statistical
indicators of tourism development. The influence of tourism is all-encompassing and
multiple significant. It affects geographical area, as well as lives of the people who live and
reside on the islands. Their attitude and opinion on tourism and its influence on different
aspects of their lives have been investigated using a questionnaire survey, interviews and
observation of processes on the islands of Zlarin and Krapanj, which are considered as most
developed in the archipelago. This paper aims to determine the influence of tourism on the
quality of life on these islands and the role of tourism in potential demographic and economic
revitalization of the whole are
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
