THE ORIGINE OF PARTICIPAL SUFFIXES IN ALBANIAN
Get PDFIn the I.E. languages are atested various kinds of participles having stem-building suffixes in relation of the grammatical cathegory of tense and diatheses, but not all of them are attested in each I.E.language. In the course of the evolution, in Albanian verbal system, only the past passive participle, is inherited form the I.E. non-finite forms. The I.E. suffix-meno has reflected-m, the reflexes of-no, has yielded-n(ë)/rë, and I.E. suffix-to has reflected-të. In Albanian, the participal suffixes are added to the verbal stem, which are the same as that of the past. After the formal distinction of the participial adjectives from the mere participles through the pre-articulation and after the formation of the analytic perfect, the Albanian past participle has undergone to a restriction of its functions as a term of the sentence, and an extension of its use as an integral part of the analytic perfect forms on the other. As a result of this change, the participle suffixes have been reorganised as well. The article aims to analyse the developement of these suffixes, in their form-building role, and in their grammatical functions
The administrator’s role of the local media on the challenges of media competition and management
Get PDFAlthough the problems are inherent, as for the functioning of the media
market, as and to produce quality journalism, the fact is that local media is
now an important actor in the country, which has its own importance and
deserves a detailed study. Nowadays, local media is faced with a number of
challenges, as the economic difficulties, facing the new technological
developments, confronting local government or politics, lack of
professionalism, and the resistance of media owners to journalists control. At
first, small markets create significant difficulty in consolidating media
businesses since the cost of the products of these businesses is almost the
same as that produced in the media working for major markets, while gains
are much smaller. Government intervention trends are somewhat obvious
and direct, but the legal framework does not apply, as well as for copyright.
These are the problems facing the local media administrator. We examine
the relationships between administrator‘s personality, his flexibility (ability
to adapt quickly to environmental changes), and firm performance. We have
observed cases of local media management in Shkodra, and we think that
strategic flexibility mediates the relationships between administrator‘s
personality and firm performance of his media (TV, newspaper or web). Our
results extend previous research by not only highlighting the importance of
administrator‘s personality in driving the flexibility and being competitive,
but also indicating how each facet of administrator‘s personality either
enhances or inhibits the media efficiency
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
