Macro Economy of a Least Developed Country: The Case of Bangladesh
Full text linkBangladesh is one of the least developed countries. The economy of Bangladesh suffers from both supply side and demand side problems. This study has been undertaken with a view to investigate macro economic conditions of the country over the two sub periods period a) Sub period-1: Macroeconomic policy under administrative control i.e. 1976-77 to 1989-90; b) Sub period-2: Macroeconomic policy under reform measures i.e. 1990-91 to 2004-05. The study doesn’t find full applicability of either Keynesian or Monetarist view of the macro model for this country. Authors’ suggested that the performance of the Bangladesh economy is a mixture of accomplishment and failure, not significantly different from that of the majority of poor less developed countries and thus a coordinated approach to fiscal, monetary and exchange rate and debt management policy is required to achieve the long-term goal and sustainable economic growth with inflation within control. The first section of the paper provides the background to the literature review. Section two outlines the objective and explains the research methodology applied by gathering quantitative data. Section three explains the analysis of the data and results and section four provides policy implications and finally concluding comments.
Theory of Social Networking on empowerment of People: Concept building and Testing at two villages in Bangladesh
No full textThis study attempts to develop a theory on how social networking facilitates to empower people. Muhammad Mahboob Ali, the corresponding author developed the social networking model in 2016. The study extensively tries to display a comparative picture regarding different dimensions of empowerment before engaging in social networking and after involving in social capital, social business and social investment along with social intelligence, social enterprises. A concept was tried to build on social networking and then for this applicability of the concept testing along with two co-authors. Two villages at Khulna District of Bangladesh were chosen to collect data and build a social networking model. Data for this study was collected through direct interview method, following an interview schedule during February to April 2016. The result from the study described that woman empowerment is directly related with Social Networking, Social intelligence and social entrepreneurship along with social capital and social investment. Women’s socio-economic conditions are not good before getting involved in social networking. After social networking, the socio-economic conditions of the women and empowerment through an increase in income of the family had improved, as they started to participate in different income generating activities and had control over income, expenditure, credit and savings. Women could then participate in household decision-making process, more than before. It was found that in dimensions the women started to become more empowered due to social networking
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
TESTING THE THEORY OF SOCIAL NETWORKING ON EMPOWERMENT OF PEOPLE SPECIALLY WOMEN AT TWO VILLAGES IN BANGLADESH: A FILED INVESTIGATION
No full textThis study was an attempt to develop a theory on how social networking facilitates to empower people which were developed by Muhammad Mahboob Ali (2016). The study extensively tries to display a comparative picture regarding different dimensions of empowerment before involving in social networking and after involving in social capital, social business and social investment along with social intelligence ,social enterprises. A concept was tried to build on social networking and then for this applicability of the concept testing along with two co-authors we choose two villages at Khulna District of Bangladesh. Data were collected through direct interview following an interview schedule during February to April, 2016. The result from the study described those women empowerment is closely related with Social Networking, Social intelligence and social entrepreneurship along with social capital and social investment. Women’s condition are not good before getting involved in social networking and after getting involved in the income of the family had been increasing. After involving in social networking the women started to participate in different income generating activities. Then, they also started to control over income, expenditure, credit and savings. They could then participate in household decision making more than before. It was found that in dimensions the women started to become more empowered than before involving in social networking
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
Toxicity and Avoidance Behaviour of Coccinella septempunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) Against Deltamethrin
No full textIn the present study we conducted residual bioassay tests to evaluate the susceptibility of Coccinella septempunctata to the recommended field dose of deltamethrin (i.e., 50mL of insecticide dissolved in 200mL). We also studied the insecticide avoidance behaviour of C. septempunctata. Studied population was found susceptible to the recommended dose of deltamethrin as we observed 100% mortality after 24 hours of insecticide exposure. Results of Fisher exact test revealed a significant difference in mortality at different time intervals. C. septempunctata learned to avoid deltamethrin treated leaf surface after their repeated exposure to the same insecticide
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
