« Parce qu’il a entendu ma voix, qu’il me bénisse ». Usages et portée d’une formule phénicienne et punique
No full textInternational audienceThe Phoenician and Punic formula that associates the listening of the god and the blessing of the worshipper is very frequent in dedications, with a remarkable spatio-temporal diffusion. This formula is studied here from three points of view: firstly, the variety of its attestations, its semantic scope and the possible links with personal onomastics; secondly, the way in which it is negotiated in bi- and trilingual inscriptions (with Greek and Latin texts) ; thirdly, the articulation between texts and images on the votive steles of the tophet. This joint study allows highlighting the elements depending on the epigraphic habitus and those attesting the influence of contextual usages.La formule phénicienne et punique qui associe écoute du dieu et bénédiction du fidèle est très fréquemment présente dans les dédicaces, avec une diffusion spatio-temporelle remarquable. On l’étudie ici de trois points de vue : tout d’abord la variété de ses attestations, sa portée sémantique et les liens possibles avec l’onomastique personnelle ; ensuite la manière dont elle est négociée dans les inscriptions bi- et trilingues (avec des textes grecs et latins) ; enfin, l’articulation entre textes et images sur les stèles votives des tophet. Cette étude conjointe permet de souligner à la fois les éléments relevant du champ de l’habitus épigraphique et ceux qui témoignent de l’influence des contextes d’usage
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
Il Cimitero Reale di Ur: comparazione storica dell'«Anthropoctonie» all'epoca della I Dinastia della città
No full textLa tesi è volta ad analizzare il fenomeno delle morti rituali presenti nelle tombe della I dinastia della antica città sumera di Ur, tale rituale è stato confrontato con situazioni simili presenti presso i cimiteri di Kish in Mesopotamia, Abidos e Saqqara in Egitto, Il cimitero della dinastia Shang in Cina, i ritrovamenti presso i grandi tumuli Sciti e i resoconti dei funerali reali presso il popolo Ashanti del Ghana e il popolo Baganda dell'Uganda
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
The Sidonian section of the Φιλόγελως
Full text linkThe Φιλόγελως is a Greek anthology of humour. One of its sections testifies that Sidonian people had a reputation for foolishness which is otherwise unattested. The jokes of this section are here presented and examined, also in order to try to shed some light on the possible origin of this ancient ethnic humour, as well as to evaluate the presence of genuinely Sidonian features.Le Φιλόγελως est une anthologie humoristique grecque. Une de ses sections témoigne du fait que les Sidoniens avaient une réputation de sottise inconnue par ailleurs. Les plaisanteries de cette section sont ici présentées et examinées dans le but de rechercher l’origine de cette ancienne «humour ethnique», ainsi que pour y repérer la présence d'éléments véritablement locaux
