Cracking Jokes on Body - A qualitative study on ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’/ শরীর নিয়ে কৌতুক - ‘দ্যা কপিল শর্মা শো’য়ের একটি গুণগত বিশ্লেষণ
No full textHumor is an important sense element of social interaction. A good sense of humor of an individual makes a distinctive quality within a person. On the basis of this distinctive quality people could be judge and remembered for a long. In contemporary consumerist society, if a person holds a good quality of sense of humor, then s/he became a skillful individual because an ability to create humor at any situation became commodity and individual would be able to use this skill to earn fame. Since long humor was an instrument for the entertainment industry to create popularity of their product like movies, daily soaps, and others. But in recent time we witnessed that humor had been changed in a revolutionary way, it became out and out ‘comedy’, separate entertainment activities were produced on comedy. Cracking joke is the most useful and popular method to produce comedy or humor. Cracking joke is not the new activity but the nature of jokes has been changed radically. In the highly competitive market of entertainment industry, people want to gain popularity or TRP of their show, hence they were targeting human bodies, irrespective of male and female, to get success. The most popular comedy show of Indian television, by the most talented stand-up comedian Mr. Kapil Sharma, named The Kapil Sharma Show have been adopted the easy road to success. On this show actors are cracking jokes on human body in derogative way in regular manner. Basically, they are producing some kind of values that are directly reproducing body shaming attitudes.
On the above context, the present article analyses, in a qualitative way, the nature of jokes used in The Kapil Sharma Show by content analysis method. This article addressed the question of how and why ‘body’ has been used as tool by the actors of the TKSH to produced humor or comedy and conclude with a criticism of capitalism, as it is a strategy of capitalism to create a binary opposition on human body, particularly capitalism wants to form an idea of ideal type body of human so that they could sell their products to the people who are dreaming to achieve the ideal body
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

No full textIn this thesis, the author first investigates the evolution of home automation technologies and their adoption in Singapore. The author finds that the market for smart home networks is in its infancy, but positioned for a rapid growth over the next few years. This is expected due to the ever-favorable market conditions.Master of Science (Communication and Network Systems
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
