IL REGNO D'EGITTO DI TOLEMEO III EVERGETE DAL 246 AL 241
No full textLa tesi di dottorato consiste in una ricostruzione del regno di Tolemeo III Evergete d’Egitto dall’assunzione del titolo regale nel 246 a.C. fino alla conclusione della guerra laodicea nel 241 a.C.. Preliminarmente vengono presentate le principali fonti storiografiche, letterarie, papiracee, epigrafiche e numismatiche a nostra disposizione per la ricostruzione del regno dell’Evergete. Un’intera sezione è dedicata esclusivamente alle opere frammentarie di autori collocabili tra la seconda metà del III e la prima metà del II secolo a.C.. Il lavoro procede con una ricostruzione delle vicende biografiche di Tolemeo III fino al 246 a.C., con una discussione circa l’ancora incerta identificazione di quest’ultimo e con una presentazione dei principali membri della famiglia reale lagide e del ruolo politico da essi svolto. Successivamente vengono analizzate nel dettaglio le tappe della guerra laodicea e vengono offerti una visione complessiva dei territori sotto il controllo lagide nel 245 e un bilancio sui rapporti di forza tra le potenze lagide e seleucide al termine del conflitto. Infine, viene esaminata la politica interna di Tolemeo III attraverso la presentazione dei provvedimenti in ambito giudiziario, sociale, amministrativo, fiscale, economico e militare, con un focus particolare sul processo di legittimazione del potere messo in atto dal sovrano.The aim of this thesis is to reconstruct Ptolemy III’s reign of Egypt, from the assumption of the royal title in 246 BC up to the end of the Laodicean War in 241 BC. First of all, a presentation of the main historiographic, literary, papyracean, epigraphic and numismatic sources at disposal for a reconstruction of Ptolemy III’s reign is made. An entire section is dedicated to the fragmentary works dateable to a range between the second half of the 3rd century BC and the first half of the 2nd century BC. Then, the research focuses on the reconstruction of Euergetes’ biography until 246 BC, the discussed identification of the king and the presentation of the main royal family’s members and of their political role. Furthermore the Laodicean War’s stages are analysed and an overall view of the areas under Lagid control in 245 is offered as well as an assessment of the balance of power between Lagids and Seleucids at the end of the war. Finally, the thesis analyses the measures taken by Ptolemy III in the judicial, social, administrative, fiscal, economic and military fields. A focus is provided on the process of legitimising power implemented by the Euergetes

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
