CHALLENGING GENDER ROLES: A FEMINIST ANALYSIS OF GHANI KHAN'S THE PATHANS
No full text<p><span>The present research aims to analyse the representation of gender dynamics in Ghani Khan’s <em>The Pathans</em> who is also known as Lewanai </span><span>Phalsafi (The Lunatic Philosopher), <span>is a towering literary figure in Pashto literature. He is commonly known for his poetry and art. Ghani Khan strived to unveil the atrocities of the tribal system and the usurpation of women's rights at the hands of the Pashtoon male-dominant society. Using a feminist theoretical framework and conducting textual analysis, this study endeavours to examine the ways prominent Pashto poet Khan challenges the traditional gender roles of Pashtuns. Specifically, this analysis will focus on the respective representation of masculinity and femininity and the power dynamics, and social norms that define both Pashtun women and Kaftar. The author has used strong female characters, increased the question of masculinity, and created a broader discussion on gender views. Therefore, all aspects of writing are from a feminist perspective. Hence, The Pathans emerges as a dominant text in creating and changing gender roles. The study reveals the ambiguous view of the author on the question of gender roles and shows how these views are expressed through the characters of women and men of Kurdish nationality. The study has shown that Khan’s place of birth strongly influences his views on the distribution of rights and obligations between people of different genders. Khan’s novel focuses on how power relations are pivotal in a particular society. </span></span></p>
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
Role of Gilson-Pickering equation for the different types of soliton solutions: a nonlinear analysis
No full textKAYA, DOGAN/0000-0002-8400-5313; Ali, Kashif Ali/0000-0003-0867-642XWOS:000560747500001In this article, the soliton solutions of the Gilson-Pickering equation have been constructed using the sinh-Gordon function method (ShGFM) and (G '/G, 1/G)-expansion method, which are applied to obtain exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. A solution function different from the solution function in the classical (G '/G, 1/G)-expansion method has been considered which are based on complex trigonometric, hyperbolic, and rational solutions. By invoking ShGFM and (G '/G, 1/G)-expansion methods, different traveling wave solutions have been investigated. For the sake of avoiding the complex calculations, the ready package program has been tackled. The comparative analysis of sinh-Gordon function and (G '/G, 1/G)-expansion methods has shown several differences and similarities. A comparative analysis of ShGFM and (G '/G, 1/G)-expansion methods assures that the (G '/G, 1/G)-expansion method has been found to be more intensive, powerful, reliable and effective method for the Gilson-Pickering equation. The graphical illustrations of two-, three-dimensional, and contour graphs have been depicted as well
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
