Impact of Social Media Selected TV Programmes on Current Social Issues and Factors Affected the Categories of Viewers
Full text linkSatellite television is a service that delivers television programming to viewers by relaying it from a communications satellite orbiting the Earth directly to the viewer's location. The signals are received via an outdoor parabolic antenna commonly referred to as a satellite dish and a low-noise block down converter. A satellite receiver then decodes the desired television programme for viewing on a television set. Receivers can be external set-top boxes, or a built-in television tuner. Satellite television provides a wide range of channels and services. It is usually the only television available in many remote geographic areas without terrestrial television or cable television service. Early systems used analog signals, but modern ones use digital signals which allow transmission of the modern television standard high-definition television, due to the significantly improved spectral efficiency of digital broadcasting

Impact of Barley Product on Human Health and Inhibiting Factors for Consuming the Barley Product
Full text linkBarley is simply a grain, but scientists have given its importance to say that barley is also a nutritious cereal like Rai, Wheat, and Maize, which grows in India. Rice and wheat consumption is very high than other crops in India. As scientists researched Barley's golden benefits, the practice of eating barley started all over the world, otherwise barley was used only in Hawan-Samagri and beer preparation. Barley chapatti is very famous in Maharashtra. Barley product is now easily available in market as barley flour, barley bread, barley flakes, roasted barley etc. Foreigners use barley in their diet, but now Indian high and upper-middle class society use to consume barley in their diet. As it contains many nutrients, so it is very beneficial for health. It is said that people who use Barley in their daily diet do not suffer from constipation, and due to constipation, many diseases are born in the stomach, so we should use barley Chapati in our diet at least one time in a day

Educational Stress of Student during Lockdown Period that Inturn Shapes Their Career
Full text linkThe entire world is going through a crisis on account of the Global Pandemic. After the surge in the cases in the early March 2020, the policy makers, the doctors, and the experts in the field of Virus Epidemiology took a call of nation -wide lock down. Since, there is no immediate cure available, physical distancing is seen as the only solution to curb the spread that could create a panic. The nationwide lockdown has consequences on various spheres of public life, government, and informal sectors and also on the education sector. The lockdown has resulted in schools, college universities being shut for more than a month now. The academic session in the schools was about to end and examinations had started in some schools and some were in the middle of the examination process. Universities work in full swing during this time of the year as it is the time for semester assessments and completion of the syllabus is on wheels. Educational institutes across the length and breadth of the country are temporarily closed to contain the spread of Corona infection. The decision of the Government needs to be appreciated as the schools and other educational institutes cater to the younger, dynamic, and most productive chunk of our population and it is the duty of the Government to protect the youth and hence the closure was inevitable. It is also becoming increasingly clear that the present lockdown is not going to end soon as the infection rate is escalating in almost all states
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
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
