East Asia in World Trade: The Decoupling Fallacy, Crisis, and Policy Challenges
No full textThis paper examines the export experience of China and other East Asian economies in the aftermaths of the global financial crisis against the backdrop of pre-crisis trade patterns. The analysis is motivated by the ‘decoupling’ thesis, which was a popular theme in the Asian policy circles in the lead-up to the onset of the recent financial crisis, and aims to probe three key issues: Was the East Asian trade integration story that underpinned the decoupling thesis simply a statistical artifact or the massive export contraction caused by an overreaction of traders to the global economic crisis and/or by the drying up of trade credit, which overpowered the cushion provided by intra-regional trade? What are the new policy challenges faced by the East Asian economies? Is there room for an integrated policy response that marks a clear departure from the pre-crisis policy stance favoring export-oriented growth? The findings caution against a possible policy backlash against openness to foreign trade arising from the new-found enthusiasm for rebalancing growth, and make a strong case for a long-term commitment to non-discriminatory multilateral and unilateral trade liberalization.global financial crisis, global production sharing, production networks, China
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
Prema Murthy, Space Invaders ; Michael Oliveri, Fast Food, Hydrocarbons and Waves in Outer Space
No full textTwo curated solo exhibitions by artists Prema Murthy and Michael Oliveri that responded, in different ways, to technological visions of, and interventions with, outer space and infinity.
For ‘Space Invaders’ Prema Murthy presented digital prints and animation that appropriate the visual language of video games, 17th century baroque, and Buddhist paintings. Using vector lines inspired by arcade games, Murthy set twisted figures against a black leather backdrop resonant of outer space.
‘Fast Food, Hydrocarbons and Waves in Outer Space’ by Michael Oliveri drew inspiration from scientific discoveries and new theories of a finite universe. His installations spanning several galleries combined experimental video, sculpture, and science. One gallery presented the soil-free fast-growing food facility “NASA Nourishment” in tandem with NASA exploration video footage, with another installation incorporated glass sculptures of hydrocarbon models on Styrofoam surfaces that suggest the surface of Mars
MARKETING VALORIZATION OF THE CITY OF SPLIT AS CULTURAL TOURISM DESTINATION
No full textU radu se analizira strateški pristup upravljanju marketingom turističke destinacije, polazeći od modela funkcioniranja destinacije kao sustava te destinacije kao integralnog turistifčkog proizvoda. Koncentracija kulturnih resursa povećava vrijednost ukupnog turističkog proizvoda pa se mnoge destinacije okreću prema kulturi kao sredstvu diferenciranja od konkurencije. Vrijednost
kulturne djelatnosti u svrhu poticanja društvenog i gospodarskog razvoja prepoznata je u razvojnim strategijama mnogih destinacija. Poseban naglasak stavljen je na kulturu kao sredstvo povećanja
konkurentnosti urbanih područja odnosno diferenciranja od konkurencije kroz kreativne oblike kultumog turizma. Kultumi turizam jedan je od razvojnih prioriteta i grada Splita, a njegov dugoročan uspjeh ovisit će o razvoju partnerstva i suradnje kultumog Í turističkog sektora. Ograničenja koja danas koče razvoj kultumog turizma rezultat su sporog gospodarskog razvoja grada i nejasne vizije razvoja turizma. Na temelju rezultata provedenog primamog istraživanja, u radu se predlažu glavne strateške smjernice razvoja kultumog turizma u Splitu i akcije koje treba poduzeti u svrhu boljeg
povezivanja kulture i turizma sektora, razvoja i promocije proizvoda te dostupnosti informacija i plasmana kulturnih turističkih proizvoda.This paper presents an analysis of the strategic approach to tourist destination marketing management, its starting point being the model in which destination functions as a system and in which destination is an integrated tourist product. The concentration of cultural resources
increases the value of the entire tourist product, so many destinations focus on culture as their distinctive feature against competition. The value of culture industry in enhancing the social and
economic development has been recognised in development strategies of many destinations. Special emphasis is being put on culture as a means of increasing competitiveness of urban areas, i.e. of differentiation against competition through creative forms of cultural tourism. Cultural tourism is high on the priorities list in the development of the City of Split and its success in the long run will depend on the partnership and co-operation between the cultural and tourist sectors. The obstacles now standing in the way of development of cultural tourism result from a slow economic development of the town and a fuzzy vision of tourism development. Based on the results of primary research, main Strategie guidelines of cultural tourism development in Split are being proposed, as well as actions to be taken for the purpose of making firmer connections between the cultural and tourism, development and promotion of products and availability of information and placing of cultur tourist products on the market
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
