In the Eyes of Others: Identification Processes on the Island of Vis
No full textU ovom diplomskom radu istražuje se kompleksnost identifikacijskih procesa Višana koji su promatrani kroz koncepte otočnosti, difrakcije i relacionizma. Svrha istraživanja bila je saznati koje se sve relacije otvaraju te na koji način utječu u kreaciji viškog identiteta. Tijekom provedenog terenskog etnografskog istraživanja prikupljena je raznovrsna građa koja je analizirana te u metodološkom smislu obogaćena usputnim zapažanjima, fotografskom dokumentacijom i analizom Facebook objava. Navedena građa je upotpunjena polu – strukturiranim intervjuima koji su provedeni na različitim lokacijama. Istraživanje je pokazalo da se za razumijevanje složenih otočnih odnosa koji nadilaze prostorni determinizam, moraju uzeti u obzir raznovrsne relacije koje oblikuju kompleksne identitete Višana. Napuštajući otok kao lokalitet, raspršuju se akvapelaškim prostorima, a kroz različite društveno – kulturne prakse kreiraju uvjerenja o „pravim“ Višanima, ali i ostalim otočanima te funkcioniraju kao kulturne činjeniceThis thesis explores the complexity of the identification processes of the people of Vis, observed through the concepts of islandness, diffraction and relationism. The purpose of the research was to find out which of the relations occur and how they influence creation of the Vis island identity. Through conducted ethnographic research a variety of data was collected, analyzed and methodologically enriched by sporadic observations, photographic documentation and analysis of Facebook posts. The material was further suplemented with semi-structured interviews which were conducted at different locations. The research demonstrated that understanding the complex island relationships, which go beyond spatial determinism, requires considering diverse relations that shape the intricate identities of the people of Vis. By moving beyond the island as a locality, they disperse across aquapelagic spaces, and through various socio-cultural practices, they construct beliefs about the "true" people of Vis, as well as other islanders, which function as cultural facts
The preservation of roman elements in the dialect of Vis
No full textSiccome ogni lingua e di conseguenza ogni dialetto è in continua evoluzione, le ricerche linguistiche diventano indispensabili perché offrono la possibilità di seguire alcuni cambiamenti. Lo scopo di questo lavoro è confrontare un corpus di romanismi raccolto dall’articolo scientifico Proverbi dell’isola di Vis (Lissa) Interpretazioni paremiologiche e stilistiche, corpus e lessico con le risposte dei partecipanti di diverse generazioni. Attraverso un’analisi etimologica dei dialettalismi raccolti, si giunge a comprendere i cambiamenti che avvengono nei romanismi nel corso del tempo. Nella ricerca hanno partecipato sei intervistati, ovvero due persone per ogni generazione: età anziana, età media ed età giovane. Il gruppo di età giovane ha utilizzato il minor numero di dialettalismi e romanismi. Solo un’intervistata di età anziana e un’altra di età giovane hanno riconosciuto e interpretato alcuni proverbi. Inoltre, è stato accertato che alcune parole sono completamente scomparse dal dialetto odierno.Budući da je svaki jezik, a samim time i dijalekt u neprekidnoj mijeni, neophodna su lingvistička istraživanja koja pružaju mogućnost praćenja određenih promjena. Cilj ovoga rada je izvorni korpus romanizama prikupljen pomoću znanstvenog članka Poslovice otoka Visa paremiološke i stilističke interpretacije, korpus i leksik usporediti s odgovorima ispitanika različitih generacija. Etimološkom analizom prikupljenih dijalektalizama, dolazi se do odgovora na promjene koje se događaju s romanizmima kroz vrijeme. U ispitivanju je sudjelovalo šest ispitanika, odnosno dva iz svake generacije: starije, srednje i mlađe dobi. Najmlađa skupina ispitanika koristila je najmanje dijalektalizama i romanizama. Samo jedan od najstarijih ispitanika i jedan od najmlađih su prepoznali i interpretirali neke od poslovica. Također je utvrđeno da su neke riječi potpuno nestale iz dijalekta današnjice.Considering that every language and consequently every dialect is in constant flux, linguistic research becomes indispensable, thus offering the possibility to track specific changes over time. The main goal of this study is to compare roman loanwords collected from the scientific paper Proverbs of the Island of Vis Paremiological and stylistic interpretations, corpus and lexis with the responses of participants from different generations. Conducting an etymological analysis of collected dialectal expressions, discovers answers regarding the changes that happened with roman loanwords throughout the time. The study involved six participants, two from each generation: older, middle-aged and younger. The results show that the youngest group of participants used the least amount of dialectal expressions and roman loanwords. Only one of the eldest participants recognized and interpreted the proverbs, as one participant from the youngest group also did so. It was also established that some words have completely disappeared from the contemporary dialect
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
