Mengenang 28 tahun H. Mohd. Said
No full textTidak sering menyaksikan jurnalis era kontemporer bertahan beberapa dekade dalam ingatan khalayak ramai, bahkan setelah dia meninggal dunia. Hingga hari ini, legasi H. Mohd. Said, bapak pendiri koran tertua Waspada, masih ada. Ia dikenang bukan hanya karena kontribusinya bagi kebebasan jurnalisme, tetapi juga kaliber intelektualnya yang diakui secara regional dan internasional.
Hari ini adalah peringatan 28 tahun wafatnya H. Mohd. Said. Ia menutup usia 28 tahun yang lalu (26 April 1995) dalam umur sekitar 85 tahun. Ia dikenang sebagai orang yang mendirikan Waspada bersama istrinya Ani Idrus di Sumatera Utara pada periode awal berdirinya Negara Republik Indonesia. Untuk itu saya ingin menggunakan kesempatan ini untuk merenungi dan mengambil ibrah dari jurnalisme dan kehidupan intelektualnya

Writing from the shadowlands: how cross-cultural literature negotiates the legacy of Edward Said
No full textThis thesis examines the impact of Edward Said's influential work Orientalism and its legacy in respect of contemporary reading and writing across cultures. It also questions the legitimacy of Said's retrospective stereotyping of early examples of cross-cultural representation in literature as uncompromisingly 'orientalist'.
It is well known that the release of Edward Said's Orientalism in 1978 was responsible for the rise of a range of cultural and critical theories from multiculturalism to postcolonialism. It was a study that not only polarized critics and forced scholars to re-examine orientalist archives, but persuaded creative writers to re-think their ethnographic positions when it came to the literary representations of cultures other than their own. Without detracting from the enormous impact of Said, this thesis isolates gaps and silences in Said that need correcting. Furthermore, there is an element of intransigence, an uncompromising refusal to fine-tune what is essentially a binary discourse of the West and its other in Said's work, that encourages the continued interrogation of power relations but which, because of its very boldness, paradoxically disallows the extent to which the conflict of cultures indeed produced new, hybrid social and cultural formations.
In an attempt to challenge the severity of Said's claim that 'every European, in what he could say about the Orient, was consequently a racist, an imperialist, and almost totally ethnocentric', the thesis examines a number of different discursive contexts in which such a presumption is challenged. Thus while the second chapter discusses the 'traditional' profession-based orientalism of nineteenth-century E. G. Browne, the third considers the anti-imperialism of colonial administrator Leonard Woolf. The fourth chapter provides a reflection on the difficulties of diasporic 'orientalism' through the works of Michael Ondaatje while chapter five demonstrates the effects of the dialogism used by Amitav Ghosh as a defence against 'orientalism'. The thesis concludes with an examination of contemporary writing by Andrea Levy that appositely illustrates the legacy of Said's influence.
While the restrictive parameters of Said's work make it difficult to mount a thorough-going critique of Said, this thesis shows that, indeed, it is within the restraints of these parameters and in the very discourse that Said employs that he traps himself. This study claims that even Said is susceptible to 'orientalist' criticism in that he is as much an 'orientalist' as those at whom he directs his polemic
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
What said the economic theory about Portugal. Another approach
No full textWith this work we try to analyse the agglomeration process in the Portuguese regions, using the New Economic Geography models. This work aims to test, also, the Verdoorn Law, with the alternative specifications of (1)Kaldor (1966), for the 28 NUTS III Portuguese in the period 1995 to 1999. It is intended to test the alternative interpretation of (2)Rowthorn (1975). With this study we want, also, to test the Verdoorn´s Law at a regional and a sectoral levels (NUTs II) for the period 1995-1999. The importance of some additional variables in the original specification of Verdoorn´s Law is yet tested, such as, trade flows, capital accumulation and labour concentration. This study analyses, also, through cross-section estimation methods, the influence of spatial effects in productivity in the NUTs III economic sectors of mainland Portugal from 1995 to 1999, considering the Verdoorn relationship. The aim of this paper is, yet, to present a contribution, with panel data, to the analysis of absolute convergence and conditional of the sectoral productivity at regional level (from 1995 to 1999). The structural variables used in the analysis of conditional convergence is the ratio of capital/output, the flow of goods/output and location ratio.new economic geography; Verdoorn law; convergence; cross-section and panel data; Portuguese regions

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

Gender and Hedging: Translatability of Difference in Agatha Christie's Third Girl
No full textA Master of Arts thesis in Translation and Interpreting MATI (English/Arabic/English) by Haya H. Alajmi entitled, "Gender and Hedging: Translatability of Difference in Agatha Christie's Third Girl," submitted in February 2015. Thesis advisor is Dr. Said Faiq. Soft and hard copy available.As a linguistic tool, hedging has been examined by logicians and scholars to explore the vagueness and imprecision it creates in discourse. Generally, men are said to be more accurate, precise, assertive and confident in their use of language, while women tend to lack confidence and as such hedge more. Further, women hedge for socio-emotional functions, while men use hedging, when they do, for epistemic functions. This debate notwithstanding, hedging may be a problematic issue in translation due to its ambiguity. Translators often adopt literal translation to maintain the stylistic form of hedging neglecting along the way the communicative value that highlights the difference created by gender in hedging. The aim of this thesis, therefore, is to investigate these hypotheses by assessing the translator's amendments to achieve the desired effect intended by hedging in the source text. The thesis examines how hedges were handled in the Arabic translation by Al-ajyal publishers (2005) of Agatha Christie's Third Girl (1966). The thesis concludes that women, perhaps contrary to received wisdom, are more assertive, yet facilitative in their communication and use few hedges. Yet, the translation adopts literal translation and deletion as the most frequent strategies in rendering hedges. Literal translation is not the best strategy to preserve the epistemic functions of hedges. Also, it fails to maintain the socio-emotional functions. It would ruin the intended meaning the author intended in the source text.College of Arts and SciencesDepartment of Arabic and Translation StudiesMaster of Arts in English/Arabic/English Translation and Interpreting (MATI
