A Translation Into English of Khalil I. Al-Fuzai's “No Rendezvous”: Thursday Fair: a Collection of Stories, by K. Al-Fuzai.
No full textThis is one of the stories that illustrate the failure to marry the woman that a man chooses to marry. Bassim and Salwa love each other, but due to his economic status, he cannot afford the marriage requirements. Like his other stories, Khalil I. Al-fuzai, a Saudi Arabian short story writer, addressed “many social, political, and religious aspects he found in his society” (Dohal, 2013). In this story as it is the case with many other stories written by Al-fuzai, Bassim “struggles to overcome the financial difficulties he faces” (Dohal, 2020). In translating this story, Khalil I. Al-Fuzai (1940- ) will be introduced to new readers as an author of a different culture who has done his utmost to discuss the social issues found in his saudi 1970's environment.
Here, like Khalil I. Al-fuzai's other protagonists in his collection of stories, Bassim struggles with his economic reality; in his society, marriage requires wealth; without money, a male should not consider getting married. Bassim has a job, yet his job does not provide him with enough money to marry and have a family.

Bassim y Salwa se aman, pero debido a su situación económica, no puede permitirse los requisitos del matrimonio. Al igual que sus otras historias, Khalil I. Al-fuzai, escritor de cuentos de Arabia Saudita, abordó “muchos aspectos sociales, políticos y religiosos que encontró en su sociedad” (Dohal, 2013). En este relato, como en muchos otros escritos por Al-fuzai, Bassim “lucha por superar las dificultades financieras a las que se enfrenta” (Dohal, 2020). Al traducir esta historia, Khalil I. Al-Fuzai (1940- ) se presentará a los nuevos lectores como un autor de una cultura diferente que ha hecho todo lo posible por debatir los problemas sociales que se encuentran en su entorno saudita de los años 70.
Aquí, al igual que los otros protagonistas de Khalil I. Al-fuzai en su colección de historias, Bassim lucha con su realidad económica; en su sociedad, el matrimonio requiere riqueza; sin dinero, un hombre no debería considerar casarse. Bassim tiene un trabajo, pero su trabajo no le da suficiente dinero para casarse y tener una familia.

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
A Translation into English of Khalil I. Al-Fuzai’s1 “Before the Station”2
Get PDFHassan sits behind his wooden box selling cigarettes and matches. In front of him, he sees people struggling to make a living. This scene illustrates what is going on inside the poor boy’s mind. It dramatizes the inability of Hassan to cope with what is going on around him. Yet he has to find a way to earn money and make a living, and this is the reason he is sitting before the station.As a boy, Hassan is not expected to play such a social role, which is usually managed by adult men. That is why a man asks Hassan, “Do you sell cigarettes?” expecting that he is taking the place of an adult who will be back soon.Hassan is not the only young person who is in charge of a family in the society, as the story indicates that “there are many people like him scattered in front of this car station.” Particularly during the 70s and early 80s, such a case was common.Indeed, Hassan has only his mother at home. Imagine if he had brothers and sisters: what would happen to this boy? Hassan’s family is not the typical family in Saudi Arabia; it is hard to find a family with only one child. Though culturally and traditionally the family is encouraged to have many children, yet it is the society here that grants Hassan's mother no other option but to send her son out so as to assume his dead father’s responsibilities. In brief, Khalil I. Al-Fuzai manages in this story to criticize the society that creates and enforces traditional and cultural restrictions and at the same time does not provide solutions to the problems of families and individuals like Hassan. Finally, in my translation, some well-known words are kept with their original pronunciation and written in italics to keep the reader aware of the Arabic text.
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
