Imagination Unleashed: A Study of Childhood Narratives in Adventures of Funny & Bana
Get PDFP. Singh\u27s Adventures of Funny & Bana is his inventive entry into children\u27s literature, demonstrating his flexibility as a writer and his capacity to captivate young readers with a combination of simplicity, inventiveness, and moral profundity. Influenced by storytelling sessions with his daughter, the novel has a very personal essence while integrating humour, adventure, and approachable characters. The tale examines the transforming power of imagination, as the characters, Funny and Bana, and their animal friend Droopy, face adversities like hunters and a giant, finally cultivating peace and invention in their realm. Singh\u27s theatrical expertise enhances the narration, imparting a dynamic and performing essence to the storyline. The imaginative use of anthropomorphism, portraying bees as valiant warriors, underscores the limitless capacity of imagination in addressing challenges and constructing narratives. Singh conveys an inspiring message for youngsters by illustrating creativity as a means to surmount challenges and effectuate enduring change. The finale illustrates a cohesive landscape with a bee farm, a national park, and a school, emphasising the narrative\u27s themes of invention and teamwork. Adventures of Funny & Bana combines comedy, fantasy, and moral profundity to illustrate that creativity may convert problems into chances and enhance the world
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
Melody of Wounds: Revealing The Wounds on Civilization
Get PDFNar Deo Sharma, the poet translator and critic of par-excellence is distinguished for scaling the literary work from the stand-point of linguistic and stylistic analysis. Melody of Wounds is the maiden collection of poet Nar Deo Sharma in which he has attempted hard to reveal the evils prevalent in the society i.e. corruption, greed, altruism, hypocrisy, spiritless ness, injustice, moral turpitude, hollowness of rituals, and debasing of human values. Nar Deo Sharma has tried to take out the wounds on the civilization which had been so ancient and glorious. The collection may be termed as the preventing agency of ills and chaos waving in atmosphere. He has used his sharp intellect to explore these wounds. Yet the word ‘Melody’ in the title of the book appears to make us feel that the poet is still hopeful to win the battle against these prevalent ills of the society
The Poetry of S. L. Peeran: A Hope for A Better World
Get PDFS.L. Peeran, a Judicial Member of Customs, Excise and Gold Control, Appellate Tribunal, Chennai, is a bilingual poet composing poems in English and Urdu. He has seven collections of poems to his credit. The poetry of S.L. Peeran is an outcome of his confrontation with the stark realities of contemporary society. He is uncommonly sympathetic and knowledgeable about man’s faults. He is dolorous at the rapid growing capitalism, imperialism, individualism, communalism, tyranny, agony, dissatisfaction, poverty, avarice, corruption, exploitation, violence, moral degeneration, selfishness and profanity. He is well conscious of the lethal and unhealthy situations around him. His poems are a call to invoke in dead veins of man- spiritual light, wisdom, peace, truth, happiness, glory, universal brotherhood, devotion, beauty and goodness and to revolt against darkness, foolishness, war, inhumanity, egoism, selfishness, superficiality, ugliness, indifference and jealousy
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
