Weaving cultural identities on trans-Asiatic networks: Upper Thai-Malay Peninsula – an early socio-political landscape
The French-Thai archaeological programme in the Upper Thai-Malay Peninsula was developed to reconstruct the early phases of a technical, economic, and cultural exchange process that participated in shaping South and Southeast Asian cultural identities. To that end, it seeks to define the sequence of early socio-cultural developments of a region taken as pivotal in trans-Asiatic exchanges. The programme focuses on the interplay between the productions of the complex societies' involved in these exchanges – by 'productions' we specifically refer to anthropomorphic landscapes and socio-technical systems. The multi-disciplinary research carried out combines a study of the late prehistoric settlement and production centre of Khao Sam Kaeo and its palaeo-environment, with technological analysis of the onsite craft production systems (ceramics, glass, stone ornaments and metallurgical artefacts). This approach is intended to evaluate how trans-Asiatic exchanges affected the political, economic and social landscape of the Peninsula, and concurrently to ascertain more precisely what role the peninsular region played in these exchanges.
Three years of investigation at Khao Sam Kaeo provide the evidence presented here to support the assertion that Khao Sam Kaeo was a significant early polity involved in Trans-Asiatic exchange bearing signs of urbanisation and possibly centralisation. It is conceivable that some of these processes bear Indianised imprints. The Upper Kra Isthmus appears therefore to have played a prominent role in the burgeoning early trans-Asiatic economic and cultural networks of the mid-1st millennium BC.Bérénice Bellina-Pryce et Praon Silapanth
Weaving cultural identities on trans-Asiatic networks: Upper Thai-Malay Peninsula – an early socio-political landscape
Le programme archéologique franco-thaï en péninsule thai-malaise septentrionale provient du désir de reconstituer les premières phases du processus des échanges techniques, économiques et culturels qui ont contribué à façonner les identités culturelles tant sud que sud-est asiatiques. À cet effet, il vise à définir la séquence de développements socio-culturels d'une région tenue pour centrale dans les échanges trans-asiatiques, en s'attachant aux interactions entre les productions des sociétés complexes qui s'y sont trouvées engagées ; on entend précisément ici par « productions » les paysages anthropiques et les systèmes socio-techniques. La recherche pluri-disciplinaire que nous menons combine l'étude du site d'habitat et de production de Khao Sam Kaeo et de son paléo-environnement avec l'étude de ses systèmes artisanaux (céramiques, verres, roches dures et métaux). Cette approche a pour objet d'évaluer dans quelle mesure les échanges trans-asiatiques ont affecté les paysages politiques, économiques et sociaux de la péninsule, et inversement, de préciser quel rôle de la région péninsulaire a tenu dans ces échanges.
Trois saisons de recherches à Khao Sam Kaeo fournissent des indices d'urbanisation et de possible centralisation, processus qui sont à mettre en relation avec l'engagement du site dans les réseaux d'échanges et dont on peut concevoir pour certains qu'ils portent déjà l'empreinte de l'indianisation. L'isthme de Kra apparaît donc avoir joué un rôle central dans l'émergence des réseaux d'échanges économiques et culturels du milieu du Ier millénaire précédant notre ère.Bellina-Pryce Bérénice, Silapanth Praon.

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
