“Shqiptarët e Maqedonisë, prioritet i çështjes shqiptare” – manual për diplomacinë
Get PDFThroughout three years Shaban Murati’s publications have made news headlines not only in Tirana but across Albania.
The latest book like nine others published before, is remarkable for its depth and clear analyses written in a simple way. The whole book, as it states in his title deals with Albanian national cause and I quote:” Albanian national cause is a daily issue even after the Independence of Kosova for two important reasons”: * There hasn’t been a solution yet to its main ingredient such as the status of Albanians in Macedonia. * The strategic threat of other tow ingredients, Albania & Kosova, officially hasn’t gone away. The matter should be considered closed only if threatening states will recognize the existence of those countries, and further more when they will stop sponsoring policies which will damage state sovereignty and territorial integrity of Albania & Kosova. Author goes on to claim: “A serious diplomacy can’t be such if it doesn’t build a platform based upon protection of vital interests of its nation, still shaken due to status quo of Albanian national cause in Balkan. This cause must be identified with interests of all Albanians in the region. Doing so it will remain integrated part of vital national interest, the state and its policies of new century".
Being an expert on Macedonian reality, as a former ambassador for twenty two years in a row, he had followed closely and professionally developments there on daily bases. This is a valuable contribution to his country. Prof Shaban Murati has never stopped working, being engaged with his public statements for a better diplomacy in favor of our country. His articles in daily newspapers hold his signature and reveal the deals of Katovica and so on.Ndër vite, botimi i librit të radhës së Shaban Muratit ka përbërë lajm, jo vetëm në Tiranë, por në të gjithë Shqipërinë.
Ky libër, ashtu si nëntë paraardhësit e tij, karakterizohet nga thellësia dhe qartësia e mendimit, si dhe shprehja e thjesht e mendimit. Në të 270 faqet e tij libri ka për leitmotiv titullin që mban: Shqiptarët e Maqedonisë - Prioriteti i Çështjes Shqiptare. Me të drejtë autori nënvizon: “Çështja shqiptare qëndron në rend të ditës për kombin shqiptar edhe pas pavarësimit të Kosovës, për dy arsye madhore: - Nuk është zgjidhur përbërësi i saj më i rëndësishëm, pas zgjidhjes së çështjes së Kosovës, që është ajo e statusit të popullit shqiptar në shtetin e Maqedonisë. - Nuk është mënjanuar kërcënimi strategjik ndaj përbërësve të tjerë, zyrtarisht dhe ndërkombëtarisht të zgjidhur: Shqipëria dhe Kosova, sepse çështja e këtyre dy përbërësve, mund të quhet e përfunduar kur shtetet, që përfaqësojnë këtë kërcënim strategjik, të pranojnë statusin dhe ekzistencën e këtyre dy shteteve, kur ato të ndërpresin politikat dhe sponsorizimet shtetërore, të cilat synojnë dëmtimin e sovranitetit shtetëror dhe integritetit territorial të Shqipërisë dhe Kosovës”. Dhe më poshtë autori thërret në mënyrën e tij unikale:- “Një diplomaci serioze, që ndërton platformën e veprimit të saj mbi bazën e mbrojtjes së interesave jetike të popullit, shtetit dhe kombit të vet, nuk mund të quhet e tillë, nëse nuk merr si bazë të veprimit të saj, këto dy parametra strategjikë, ende të pa zgjidhur në Ballkan të çështjes shqiptare. Çështja shqiptare duhet të identifikohet me zhvillimin e interesave mbarëshqiptare në rajon, si objektiv që shoqëron ekzistencën e kombit shqiptar, e që paraqet një vazhdimësi të vetë çështjes shqiptare. Në këtë mënyrë, ajo mbetet pjesë e pandarë e interesit kombëtar e jetik të shtetit dhe të politikës së jashtme në shekullin e ri”.
Si njohës i thellë i realitetit maqedonas, edhe me cilësinë e ambasadorit të parë shqiptar në atë vend, ai jo vetëm për katër vite, por për 22 vite rresht, ka ndjekur e vëzhguar zhvillimet, me imtësi dhe me interesimin e duhur profesional, por kryesisht me nervin, që ose e ka, ose nuk e ka diplomati. Është një jetë e tërë kontribut i vyer, në mijëra faqe të plota gazetash, mijëra faqe librash, në të cilat autori ka zbardhur në shqip, por edhe i ka shërbyer Shqipes. Prof. Shaban Murati, është heroi i ditës. Heroizmi i përditshëm sot, është të jesh përditë në punë. Sidomos në këtë punë, në angazhimin personal me qëndrime publike, në të mirë të përsosjes së diplomacisë dhe të shtetit. E ai është përditë në punë
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

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.
