The bathing facilities in Macedonia during the roman imperial and early byzantine period
No full textThis thesis examines the bathing facilities in Macedonia during the roman imperial and early byzantine period. We are referring to the roman-style baths, which, in terms of architecture, roman baths are consisted of a number of rooms with escalating temperature which comes from a complex underfloor and wall heating system. Initially, there is the catalogue of the lemmata – the buildings that are investigated. Each lemma contains 13 fields. The data of our research is analyzed comparatively in the main partof the study. Based on the fields that we have examined for each building, the arguments are developing in corresponding chapters, such as: the geographical distribution of the baths, their size, their position, their architectural types, their rooms and equipment, as well as their constructural and technical characteristics. Separate chapters deal with the decoration and the dating of the bath buildings. In the penultimate chapter we discuss four major cities of Macedonia (Veroia, Thessaloniki,Filippoi and Dion), due to the large number of baths that have been discovered there. Finally,we summarize and present the conclusions of the thesis. Volume B contains maps, drawings / plans and photographs. Our research focuses οn bathing establishments for public use. However, we include in our research parts of buildings that their use is controversial because of their fragmentary discovery and verified domestic private baths, because they are an important part of the bathing institution. The aim of the thesis is to locate the bathing facilities in the region of modern Macedonia and to describe their architectural and constructural features. The extensive scientific bibliography about baths, the bathing buildings all over the Roman Empire and the ancient literary sources provide us with vital comparative material.The investigation covers a wide time period and bathing establishments which are dated from the late first century B.C. to the 6th century A.D. Our purpose is to trace variations in the architecture of baths and the bathing habits and therefore, to discern the changes of the urban space and the social mores during the roman until the period of late antiquity.Το θέμα της διατριβής είναι οι λουτρικές εγκαταστάσεις στη Μακεδονία κατά τη ρωμαϊκή αυτοκρατορική και την πρωτοβυζαντινή περίοδο. Πρόκειται για τα λουτρά ρωμαϊκού τύπου, τα οποία, από αρχιτεκτονικής άποψης, αποτελούνται από ένα σύνολο αιθουσών με κλιμακούμενη θερμοκρασία που οφείλεται σε ένα σύνθετο σύστημα υποδαπέδιας και εντοίχιας θέρμανσης. Αρχικά, παρουσιάζεται ο κατάλογος με τα λήμματα που αποτελούν τα υπό έρευνα κτήρια. Κάθε λήμμα περιλαμβάνει 13 πεδία. Στο συνθετικό μέρος αναλύονται συγκριτικά τα δεδομένα της έρευνάς μας. Με βάση τα πεδία που εξετάσαμε για κάθε κτήριο, η επιχειρηματολογία αναπτύσσεται σε αντίστοιχες ενότητες που αφορούν: τον γεωγραφικό καταμερισμό των λουτρών, το μέγεθος, τη χωροθέτησή τους, τους αρχιτεκτονικούς τύπους, τους χώρους και τον εξοπλισμό τους, καθώς και κατασκευαστικά και τεχνικά θέματα. Ξεχωριστές ενότητες αποτελούν: η διακόσμηση και η χρονολόγηση των κτηρίων. Στο επόμενο κεφάλαιο πραγματευόμαστε χωριστά τέσσερις σημαντικές πόλεις της Μακεδονίας (Βέροια, Θεσσαλονίκη, Φίλιπποι και Δίον), λόγω του μεγάλου αριθμού των λουτρικών εγκαταστάσεων που έχουν ανακαλυφθεί σε αυτές. Η εργασία ολοκληρώνεται με το κεφάλαιο των συμπερασμάτων, στο οποίο συνοψίζονται και παρουσιάζονται τα πορίσματα της έρευνας. Στον β΄ τόμο δίνονται χάρτες, σχέδια και εικόνες. Το ενδιαφέρον της έρευνας επικεντρώνεται στα λουτρικά συγκροτήματα δημόσιας χρήσης. Ωστόσο, μας απασχολούν και τμήματα κτηρίων που η χρήση τους είναι αμφιλεγόμενη λόγω της αποσπασματικής αποκάλυψής τους, καθώς και εξακριβωμένα ιδιωτικής χρήσης οικιακά λουτρά, διότι και αυτά αποτελούν αναπόσπαστοκομμάτι του λουτρικού θεσμού. Στόχος της διατριβής είναι o εντοπισμός των λουτρικών εγκαταστάσεων στον χώρο τηςσύγχρονης Μακεδονίαςκαι η περιγραφή των αρχιτεκτονικών και των κατασκευαστικών τους χαρακτηριστικών. Η εκτενής επιστημονική βιβλιογραφία περί λουτρών, οι λουτρικές εγκαταστάσεις από όλη τη ρωμαϊκή αυτοκρατορία, καθώς καιοι αρχαίες φιλολογικές πηγές παρέχουν συγκριτικό υλικό. Τα χρονικά όρια της έρευνας καλύπτουν μια περίοδο ίδρυσης λουτρικών εγκαταστάσεων από τα τέλη του 1ου αι. π.Χ. ως τον 6ο αι. μ.Χ. Πρόθεσή μας είναι να ιχνηλατήσουμε τις μεταβολές στην αρχιτεκτονική των λουτρών και στις λουτρικές συνήθειες και κατ’ επέκταση να θίξουμε τις αλλαγές του αστικού χώρου και των κοινωνικών ηθών από τη ρωμαϊκή μέχρι και την περίοδο της ύστερης αρχαιότητας
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
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
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
