Using Value-Based Argumentation for Manipulating Voter Preferences
No full textManipulating voter preferences in favor of a certain political institution or opinion is performed by a lot of different techniques. However, in the process of voter persuasion, it is also a general necessity that the message produced by the political institution is designed in compliance with certain logical principles. Accordingly; politic argumentation on one hand, meets logical qualifications that a message should have, on the other hand, it offers certain technical structures and wording features. In parallel with that, in this study, the use of value-based argumentation in manipulating voter preferences is examined. Within this framework, Referendum of Presidential Government System conducted in 2017 is selected as the object of research. In the context of value-based argumentation, political argumentation analysis has been carried out on written material that AK Party and CHP produced within referendum campaign. As a result of the research, it is determined that three of totally seven AK Party arguments, two of totally nine CHP arguments produced for referendum topics are in harmony with the value-based argumentation style
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
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
Changes in regional administration in the United Kingdom and their reflections in Turkey: A model proposal
No full text"İngiltere Bölge Yönetimlerinde Değişimler ve Türkiye'ye Yansımaları: Bir Model Önerisi" başlıklı bu doktora tezi, İngiltere'nin bölgesel yönetim sistemindeki köklü dönüşümleri kapsamlı bir şekilde incelemekte ve bu deneyimler ışığında Türkiye için yenilikçi bir yönetim modeli önermektedir. Çalışma, özellikle 1997 sonrası dönemde gerçekleştirilen yerel yönetim reformları, 2016 Brexit referandumu ve sonrasında yaşanan kurumsal değişimler üzerinde odaklanmaktadır. Çalışma, özellikle Brexit sonrası dönemde yaşanan kurumsal değişimleri mercek altına almakta ve bunların Türkiye'nin bölgesel yönetim reformları için taşıdığı dersleri ortaya koymaktadır. Kuzey Güçlendirme Ajansı, Midlands Büyüme Motoru gibi somut uygulamalar detaylı şekilde incelenmiş, yerel girişim ortaklıkları ve yeni finansman modelleri analiz edilmiştir. Türkiye için geliştirilen model, beş temel eksen üzerine kurulmuştur: bölgesel eşitsizliklerin azaltılması, yerel yönetimlerin güçlendirilmesi, katılımcı demokrasi mekanizmaları, sürdürülebilir kalkınma ve esnek yönetişim yapıları. Bu öneriler, İngiltere'nin hem başarılı hem de başarısız deneyimlerinden yola çıkarak hazırlanmıştır. Tez çalışmasının nihayetinde İngiltere'nin bölgesel yönetim deneyimlerinden hareketle Türkiye için uygulanabilir bir model önerisi sunulmuştur. Bu kapsamda, bölgesel eşitsizliklerin giderilmesi, yerellik ilkesinin güçlendirilmesi, demokratik yenilenme ve sürdürülebilir kalkınma politikalarına yönelik öneriler geliştirilmiştir. Tez, İngiltere'nin bölgesel yönetim alanındaki başarı ve başarısızlıklarının Türkiye için yol gösterici olabileceğini ortaya koyarak, iki ülke arasında karşılaştırmalı bir perspektif sunmaktadır. Özellikle AB uyum sürecindeki Türkiye için, İngiltere'nin hem AB dönemindeki hem de Brexit sonrası tecrübeleri yol gösterici nitelik taşımaktadır."İngiltere Bölge Yönetimlerinde Değ
