Cofradías Sufíes en los Espacios Religiosos Post-independencia en el Rif Oriental desde la Teoría de Paz Imperfecta
Full text linkThis article will provide a theoretical approach from the epistemology of Imperfect Peace within the context of the religious entities of Eastern Rif, framed within the process of Morocco’s independence since 1956. The new independent era placed the zawiyas at a new crossroads in their long period of survival, making this a time of instability for such entities. The social spaces created by the zawiyas will be altered by the new sociocultural dynamics, transforming and adapting to the demands of the moment. This work aims to bring the reader closer to peace as an unfinished process, coexisting with conflict, through the analysis of the peaceful elements generated in these Sufi entities. It is relevant to apply the epistemology of Imperfect Peace, given the well-known dynamism of the zawiyas, their role as agents of the vernacularization of Islam to transform it into what is known as popular religion, which accompanies the search for an unfinished and transformative peace in one of the most deeply rooted entities in the Eastern Rif.En este artículo se realiza un acercamiento teórico desde la episteme de paz imperfecta en el contexto de las entidades religiosas del Rif oriental, enmarcado en el proceso de independencia de Marruecos desde 1956. La nueva etapa independiente colocó a las zagüías ante una nueva encrucijada en su largo proceso de supervivencia, siendo un periodo inestable para dichas entidades. Los espacios sociales generados por las zagüías se vieron alterados por las nuevas dinámicas socioculturales, transformándose y adaptándose a las exigencias del momento. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo acercar al lector a la paz como un proceso inacabado que coexiste con el conflicto, a través del análisis de los elementos pacíficos generados en estas entidades sufíes. Resulta relevante aplicar la epistemología de La paz imperfecta, dado el dinamismo conocido de las zagüías y su papel como agentes de vernaculización del islam. transformándolo en lo que se conoce como la religión popular, lo cual acompaña esa búsqueda de una paz inacabada y transformadora en una de las entidades más arraigadas del Rif oriental
IMPERFECT PEACE AND THE ZAWIYA IN THE EASTERN RIF: THE TRANSFORMATION OF SUFI BROTHERHOODS IN POST-INDEPENDENCE MOROCCO
No full textThis article presents a theoretical approach rooted in Peace Research to examine the religious landscape of the eastern Rif following Morocco\u27s independence. The period of independence positioned religious entities at a critical juncture in their long history, representing a particularly unstable time for the Sufi brotherhoods associated with these zawiya. The social spaces created by the zawiya have been influenced by new sociocultural dynamics, leading to their transformation and adaptation in response to contemporary demands. This study aims to guide the reader toward understanding peace as an ongoing journey that coexists with conflict, highlighting the peaceful elements that emerge within these Sufi entities. Insights derived from research on peace, particularly the theory of Imperfect Peace, illuminate the dynamism of the zawiya, their roles as agents of social harmony, and the space-time transformations they undergo in the pursuit of continuous and transformative peace. This exploration focuses on one of the most deeply rooted entities in the eastern Rif.

Artikel ini meneliti pendekatan teoretis yang berakar pada penelitian perdamaian untuk mengkaji lanskap keagamaan di Rif timur pasca kemerdekaan Maroko. Periode kemerdekaan di sana menempatkan entitas-entitas keagamaan pada titik kritis dalam sejarah panjang mereka, yang mewakili masa yang sangat tidak stabil bagi persaudaraan Sufi yang terkait dengan Zawiya ini. Ruang sosial yang diciptakan Zawiya dipengaruhi oleh dinamika sosio-kultural baru yang mengarah pada transformasi dan adaptasi menghadapi tuntutan-tuntutan kontemporer pada masanya. Studi ini bertujuan membahas perdamaian sebagai perjalanan berkelanjutan yang hidup berdampingan dengan konflik, dengan menyoroti elemen-elemen damai yang muncul dalam entitas-entitas Sufi ini. Wawasan yang diperoleh dari penelitian tentang perdamaian, khususnya teori Perdamaian yang Tidak Sempurna, menyoroti dinamisme Zawiya, peran mereka sebagai agen harmoni sosial, dan transformasi ruang-waktu yang mereka alami dalam mengejar perdamaian yang berkelanjutan dan transformatif. Eksplorasi ini berfokus pada salah satu entitas yang paling mengakar di Rif Timu, Maroko.

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
