    Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah of Kashmir, 1965–1975: From externment to enthronement

    No full text
    © 2018 Lokniti, Centre For The Study Of Developing Societies. Ousted as Premier, Jammu and Kashmir, in August 1953 and anointed as Chief Minister in February 1975, the so-called ‘Lion of Kashmir’ Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah was imprisoned, in between these years, ultimately on charges of treason, with brief intermissions. Much has been written about the politics of Kashmir dispute, less so about the Sheikh and his personal troubles especially after the death of his friend Jawaharlal Nehru in May 1964. This somewhat overshadowed decade of his life, in comparison with his hey-days of 1947–1953, shows the kind of settlement in Kashmir that the government of Indira Gandhi was willing to consider. More interestingly, it shows how Sheikh Abdullah was willing to agree to it and provides the context in which he moved from being in a conflictual relationship with New Delhi to becoming, once again, a collaborator in Srinagar in 1975, thereby showcasing the limits of Abdullah’s politics and popularity

    Identification of bridge curvature profiles from dynamic responses induced by moving vehicles using autoregressive models

    This paper introduces a novel methodology for structural damage localization in beam-like single- and multi-span bridge structures based on curvature profiles extracted from acceleration measurements. The approach builds on the rationale that autoregressive models, when trained on ambient vibration data, fail to reconstruct the quasi-static response induced by moving loads. This limitation produces a reconstruction residual that, under suitable conditions, corresponds to a shifted and scaled version of the curvature profile of the structure generated by a point load applied at the sensor location. The proposed method enables the calculation of this residual with extremely sparse sensor networks that do not require synchronization. A damage index is then defined from variations in the estimated curvature profile, enabling localization of stiffness reductions. To eliminate the need for manual parameter tuning, a model order selection criterion is proposed, which makes the method fully automated, unlike existing approaches that rely on prior knowledge of the monitored structure. The methodology is validated through numerical simulations that incorporate vehicle-bridge interaction phenomena and road roughness, as well as experimental data from a full-scale truss bridge. The results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves damage localization performance comparable to established filter-based techniques, while offering improved spatial resolution and requiring no tuning parameters

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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
