Checkmate : Orthodox Diplomacy in Montenegro and Macedonia in the Shadows of the War in Ukraine
No full textIn 2022 the Serbian Orthodox Church managed to seal off two of its longstanding ecclesial conflicts in former Yugoslavia and put an end to open hostility. The end of the conflicts seems to have been prompted as a response to the War in Ukraine. This chapter explores the Orthodox diplomacy in Montenegro and Macedonia and how it relates to the geopolitical and ecclesial role of the Serbian Orthodox Church. In Montenegro, the former government was toppled in a democratic election by popular protests fuelled by the Serbian church. The change in government in Montenegro paved the way for a legal recognition and a series of privilege to the Serbian Church, which was heralded as a victory over the rivalling unrecognised Montenegrin Orthodox Church. In contrast in Macedonia the Serbian Church reached an agreement in 2022 with the local Macedonian Orthodox Church, which had broken away from the Serbian Patriarchate in 1968. The new agreement allowed the Macedonian Church to enter into the formal form of a recognised international Orthodox Church with strong ties to the Serbian Patriarchate. The two, longstanding conflicts in Macedonia and Montenegro thereby came to an end in 2022 after decades of infighting. The focus of this chapter is the ecclesial diplomatic interplay that led to the resolving of the conflict and comparative analysis of how the Serbian Church acted in Montenegro vis-à-vis Macedonia. Of particular interest are the diplomatic overtures between the Serbian Church and the Moscow Patriarchate, Ecumenical, and Ukrainian churches that played into the local conflict in Macedonia and Montenegro. These overtures and the dramatic shift caused by the war in Ukraine seem to have been the essential backdrop of the swift resolving of the local conflicts
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
От Империи по национальное государство: Укрепление отношений между Православной церковью и независимой Литвой и Латвией после первой мировой войны
No full textNarodowy Kościół Prawosławny w Imperium/Cesarstwie Rosyjskim został radykalnie
zreorganizowany w następstwie pierwszej wojny światowej. Wprowadzenie
nowych struktur wewnętrznych, do których ponownie włączono Patriarchat
Moskiewski, było szczególnie istotne dla eparchii obecnie znajdujących
się poza granicami Związku Radzieckiego, tak jak Kraje Bałtyckie. W każdym
z tych krajów restrukturyzacja kościelna oraz „normalizacja” stosunków z władzami
politycznymi odbywała się w szczególny sposób. Niniejszy artykuł bada
rozwój tych zmian na Litwie i Łotwie, gdzie Kościół prawosławny był początkowo
nieufnie postrzegany jako instytucja imperialistycznego państwa przez
młode państwa narodowe. W obu przypadkach nowo wybrani arcybiskupi zostali
nazwani w 1921 roku i obaj musieli stoczyć ciężką bitwę o prawne uznanie
ich Kościoła. Jednak po „przystąpieniu” do terytorium świeckiego państwa obaj
ułożyli pomyślnie swoje modus vivendi z władzami świeckimi.Национальная Православная церковь в Российской империи была радикально реорганизована вследствие первой мировой войны. Введение
новых внутренних структур, в которые вновь включили Московский
патриархат, было особенно важным для епархий, в настоящее время находящихся за пределами Советского Союза, так, как Прибалтийские страны. В каждой из этих стран реструктуризация церкви и «нормализация»
отношений с политическими властями происходила особенным образом.
Настоящая статья исследует развитие этих изменений в Литве и Латвии,
где на Православную церковь молодые национальные государства вначале смотрели с недоверьем как на институт империалистического государства. В обоих случаях новоизбранные Епископы были названы в 1921 г[email protected] of Erfurt, Germany2021122
