    Proper execution of exams aimed at assessment & evaluation is of critical importance in Learning Management Systems (LMS). Problems arising from human-centered errors or technical difficulties may lead to questioning of exams, and thus of reliability and efficiency of the distance education systems. Online examination system architecture proposed in this paper provides for integrated management of main functions such as question pool creation and update, exam authoring, execution and evaluation, and management of the feedbacks from students, along with ensuring use of analysis reports related to the questions and exams created by an intelligent agent in the decision-making processes. After conducting analyses on the distance education (DE) system of Sakarya University, it was found that the proposed intelligent agent supported online exam system detects the problems that arise to a large extent and enables the instructors to decide more easily in a shorter time. This system, which is possible to expand with its flexible structure to include additional intelligent features with the aim of resolving different problems, can also be adapted to different institutions that use online examination systems

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

Bilişim teknolojilerinin hayatın birçok alanında olduğu gibi imalat ortamlarında da kullanılmaya başlanmasıyla bu sorunlar yavaş yavaş azalmakta, imalat firmaları sistemlerini bilgi yoğun sistemler haline dönüştürmektedirler. Bilişim teknolojileri denildiğinde akla ilk gelen web teknolojileri her şeyin tam zamanında yerine getirilmesi ve gerçek zamanlı olarak her türlü bilgiye anında ulaşmada çok önemli bir rol üstlenmektedir. İmalat kontrol sistemlerinin de sağlıklı bilgi akışı sağlayabilmeleri bu teknolojilerin kullanılmasıyla mümkün olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada internet teknolojilerinin imalat kontrol sistemlerinde nasıl kullanılabileceğine ilişkin metodolojiler sunularak, e-imalat kavramından bahsedilmiştir. Ayrıca ASP.NET ve C Sharp gibi programlama teknolojilerinden yararlanarak web tabanlı bir malzeme ihtiyaç planlaması tasarımı yapılmıştır

Bu kapsam tedarik zinciri yönetimi ve iş süreçlerinin yeniden yapılandırılması konuları üzerinde genel kabullere göz atıldıktan sonra, internet teknolojilerinde gelişim hakkında literatür çalışmaları yapılmıştır. Online öğretim modellerinin literatürü ayrıntılı olarak tartışıldıktan sonra online öğretim alanında söz sahibi firmaların oluşturduğu komiteler tarafından standartları kabul edilen öğretim yönetim sistemleri mimarisi (LTSA 2001) incelenmiştir.Çalışmanın metod ve uygulama bölümünde ise öğretim yönetim sistemlerinin örneği olarak T.C. Sakarya Üniversitesinin SAUPORT yazılımı özelinde 3 farklı iş süreci incelenmiş ve yeniden yapılanma önerileri geliştirilerek bu önerilerin gerçekleştirilebilirliği tartışılmıştır.Çalışmanın son bölümünde ise önerilen iş süreçlerinin sonuçları değerlendirildikten sonra, online öğretim sistemleri ile farklı üretim ve hizmet alanlarında, üzerinde çalışılabilecek iş süreçleri hakkında fikirler paylaşılmıştır.Information technology is developing rapidly today, the components of supply chain management in the restructuring of business processes with the help of information Technologies provides shortening cycle times, system scalability, reduce operational costs, improve product quality, and increase customer satisfaction for the companies.In this study, supply chain management software can be considered online training systems, business process reengineering has been discussed on applicability of technologies for the semantic network. The scope of supply chain management and business process reengineering have been investigated and the evolution of Internet technologies were carried out as literature survey. Literature on the models of online education has been investigated in detail, then the standards of teaching adopted by the committees established by the owner of the management systems architecture (LTSA 2001) were examined.In the study of teaching methods and management systems as an example of the application section of the TC Sakarya University SAUPORT software, 3 different restructuring proposals and their feasibility were analyzed and developed .In the final part of the study, after evaluating the results of the proposed business processes, business processes in different manufacturing and service sectors with online education systems have been evaluated

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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
