The effects of tourism demand on regional sectoral employment in Turkey
Get PDFThis study aims to examine the effects of total, foreign and domestic tourism demand on sectoral employment in regions, based on the level 2 of the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS2) classification determined by the Turkish Statistics Institute (TurkSTAT). For this purpose, we study the impact of tourism demand on overall and sectoral employment in the regions of Turkey between 2004 and 2013, using the Random Coefficients Regression model developed by Swamy. The main results of the study indicate that the contribution of tourism demand, both foreign and domestic to employment, differs across the regions and sectors. Also, the results show that tourism's employment contribution to the industrial sector is the highest. Moreover, the employment contribution of tourism demand is negative for some regions. The employment contribution of domestic tourists' stays is greater than that of foreigners. Based on the results of this study, we can conclude that tourism demand can be used as an effective tool to reduce differences in regional developmental level and increase the contribution to both regional and sectoral employment. There is an urgent need to either develop new tourism policies or revise existing ones so that the county and regions can benefit from investing in the tourism sector.Anadolu University Scientific Research Projects (BAP) [1506E488]This article is derived from the PhD thesis which is written under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Mustafa OZER by Mustafa KIRCA in Anadolu University, Eskisehir, Turkey.

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
TÜRKİYE İLE ALMANYA ARASINDAKİ ÖRME HAZIR GİYİM DIŞ TİCARETİNİN SİMETRİK VE ASİMETRİK NEDENSELLİK İLİŞKİLERİNİN İNCELENMESİ
No full textTurkey and Germany are the two most important exporters of knitted garments in theworld. Germany is also an important knitted garment export market for Turkey. İn this respect,knitted garment trade between Germany and Turkey has a strategic importance that should bemanaged strategically. Therefore, determining the causality of knitted garment trade betweenTurkey and Germany will contribute to the strategic management of foreign trade. The aim ofthis study is to determine the symmetric and asymmetric causality of knitted garment tradebetween Turkey and Germany using the two countries’ knitted garment export data. Resultsshow that changes in Turkey's knitted garment export affects Germany’s knitted garment exportbut that changes in Germany’s knitted garment export does not lead to a change in Turkey’sexport. This result indicates that knitted garment trade between Germany and Turkey is moreadvantageous for Turkey and confirms that Germany is an important knitted garment exportmarket for Turkey. On the other hand, the top 5 countries that Turkey exports most knittedgarment products are Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, Iraq and Holland while the top 5countries that Germany exports most knitted garment products are Switzerland, Austria, France,Holland and Poland. In conclusion, we believe that the results of this study will provide foreigntrade managers with important information on the strategic management of knitted garmentforeign trade.Türkiye ve Almanya, dünyanın örme hazır giyim ürünü ihraç eden en önemli ülkeler arasındadır. Ayrıca Almanya, Türkiye için örme hazır giyim ürün ihracatında en önemli bir pazar durumundadır. Bu yönüyle Türkiye ile Almanya arasındaki örme hazır giyim ihracatı stratejik bir öneme sahiptir ve bu yönüyle stratejik yönetilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu nedenle Türkiye ile Almanya arasındaki örme hazır giyim ticaretinin nedensellik ilişkilerinin tespit edilmesi dış ticaretin stratejik yönetimine katkı sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışmada Türkiye ve Almanya’nın örme hazır giyim ihracat verileri kullanılarak iki ülke arasındaki örme hazır giyim ticaretinin simetrik ve asimetrik nedensellik ilişkileri tespit edilmeye çalışılmaktadır. Araştırma sonucuna göre Türkiye’nin örme hazır giyim ihracatındaki değişimlerinin, Almanya’nın örme hazır giyim ihracatını etkilemekte olduğu fakat Almanya’nın örme hazır giyim ihracatındaki değişimlerin Türkiye’nin ihracatında bir değişime neden olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu sonuç Türkiye ve Almanya arasında gerçekleşen örme hazır giyim ürünleri ticaretinde daha çok Türkiye`nin lehine bir durumun olduğunu göstermekte ayrıca bu sonuç Almanya`nın Türkiye için önemli bir örme hazır giyim pazarı olduğunu doğrulamaktadır. Ayrıca Türkiye’nin en fazla örme hazır giyim ürünü ihraç ettiği 5 ülke sırasıyla; Almanya, Birleşik Krallık, İspanya, Irak ve Hollanda iken Almanya’nın en çok ihracat yaptığı 5 ülke ise İsviçre, Avusturya, Fransa, Hollanda ve Polonya’dır. Sonuç olarak bu çalışmadan elde edilen bulguların örme hazır giyim dış ticaretinin stratejik yönetimi bağlamında dış ticaret yöneticilerine önemli bilgiler sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir
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
