More specifically, it focuses on the experiences of Syrian refugees to examine the ways in which they exert their agency to cope with the structural constraints when faced with 'multiple crises' in host countries, intersecting with the dynamics of a 'normalized refugee crisis'. Our findings from fieldwork conducted in the top six refugee-hosting cities reveal that loss of jobs, limited access to decent work, increased dependency on external financial assistance, and social exclusion have been some of the most acute effects of the pandemic on refugees. Meanwhile, the perceived effects that refugees have on the host community's welfare trigger problems that impede social cohesion. All in all, the study intends to highlight the far-reaching effects of the pandemic beyond its direct health implications by addressing the structural vulnerability of refugees and the importance of providing an enabling environment for socio-economic self-reliance.Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)The authors would like to thank Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for funding the research project "Survey for Syrian refugees under Covid-19 Pandemic" on which this paper is based.Acknowledgement The authors would like to thank Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for funding the research project "Survey for Syrian refugees under Covid-19 Pandemic" on which this paper is based.Acknowledgement The authors would like to thank Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for funding the research project "Survey for Syrian refugees under Covid-19 Pandemic" on which this paper is based.Social Science Citation Inde
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
Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma için Uluslararası Göçün Yerelde Çok Düzeyli Yönetişimi: Sultanbeyli Belediyesi Örneği
No full textBirleşmiş Milletler 2030 Gündemi kapsamında bir yol haritası sunan Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Amaçları’nın (SKA) temelindeki Kimseyi Geride Bırakma (Leave No One Behind) ilkesi son yılların en önemli kamu politika alanlarından biri olan göç yönetişiminin de bütüncül ve kapsayıcı bir nitelikte olması gerektiğine işaret etmektedir. Bu çalışma sürdürülebilir kalkınma ve göç ilişkisinin daha iyi anlaşılması ve bu bağlamda yerel yönetimlerin atabilecekleri adımlara yönelik bir iyi uygulama örneği sunan İstanbul Sultanbeyli Belediyesini incelemektedir. Çalışmada öncelikle çok düzeyli göç yönetişimi açısından Küresel Amaçlar kapsamında yerel yönetimleri ilgilendiren maddeler ele alınmaktadır. Bu açıdan belediyeler kapsamlı işbirliği, yerelleşme ve uyum konularında SKA’ların yerel düzeyde başarıya ulaşması ve kalkınmaya duyarlı göç politikaları geliştirilmesinde önemli birer aktör olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Nitel araştırma bulgularına dayanan ve Sultanbeyli Belediyesinin sunduğu hizmetleri SKA’lar ve bu amaçların yerine getirilmesi yönünde belirlenen göstergeler çerçevesinde değerlendiren çalışmamız, belediyenin benimsediği “kalkınma odaklı işbirliği” yaklaşımının Türkiye’de geliştirilebilecek çok düzeyli göç yönetişimi modeline örnek olabilecek nitelikte olduğunu savunmaktadır.The central “leave no one behind” principle of the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) points out that governance of migration, one of the most critical public policy field of recent years, should also be holistic and inclusive, encompassing all groups. This study examines Istanbul Sultanbeyli Municipality with the purpose of unpacking a good practice example for a better understanding of the migration-sustainable development nexus and the steps local governments can take in this context. The study initially discusses the SDGs and relevant targets that concern local governments in terms of multi-level migration governance. In this respect, municipalities emerge as critical actors for the success of SDGs at the local level and the formulation of development-sensitive migration policies through fostering cooperation, localization and adaptation. Based on qualitative research findings and the assessment of Sultanbeyli Municipality’s services within the framework of SDGs, we argue that the “development-oriented cooperation” approach adopted by the municipality has the potential to set an example for a multi-level migration governance model that can be further developed in Türkiye
Between the legacy of nation-state and forces of globalisation : Turkey’s management of mixed migration flows
Get PDFTurkey, at the crossroads of Europe, Middle East and Asia, has confronted with mounting pressures of mixed migration flows in recent decades. This paper aims to explore Turkey’s contemporary approach to migration management by focusing on the adoption of the country’s first comprehensive immigration law (Law on Foreigners and International Protection) and the signing of the readmission agreement with the European Union in 2013. This incorporates an analysis of both policy continuities and changes in migration management in Turkey, while also providing an understanding of the interplay between internal and external factors, namely internationalisation and Europeanisation processes and the responsiveness of domestic actors to such pressures. The paper argues that migration policies driven solely by state-centric concerns are becoming increasingly inefficient in responding to the challenges caused by interlinked pressures of globalisation and multi-layered migratory flows. As Turkey’s role as a transit and receiving country grows, issues of international migration, and irregular migration in particular, are becoming dynamic topics in defining its role in a globalised world and as well as the trajectory of its relations with the EU
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
