    تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى التعرف على طبيعة التنشئة الاجتماعية في إحدى أهم مؤسسات التنشئة الرسمية في المجتمع الأردني وهو المؤسسة التربوية المدرسية، ومن أجل هذا تم عمل مسح شامل لمضامين كتب اللغة الإنجليزية في مرحلة التعليم الأساسي. وقد اعتمدت الدراسة أسلوب تحليل المحتوى بشقية الكمي والكيفي كمنهجية في تحليل مضامين الكتب المدرسية، إذ تم تصميم جدول ترميز اشتمل على جميع مبادئ حقوق الإنسان، ثم بعد ذلك تم رصد تكرار كل مبدأ من هذه المبادئ في هذا الجدول. وقد توصلت الدراسة إلى نتيجة مفادها الغياب الواضح لهذه الحقوق في مضامين كتب هذه المرحلة. إذ جاءت جميع الحقوق ضمنية وغير مباشرة. أما أهم الحقوق الضمنية التي وردت في متون نصوص هذه الكتب فهي: الكرامة الإنسانية، التضامن والتسامح، الحرية والعدالة الاجتماعية، أما الحقوق المتعلقة بالمساواة بأشكالها المختلفة فلم تكن ضمن اهتمامات هذه الكتب. كما بينت الدراسة أيضا أن أسلوب تقديم الكتب المدروسة لهذه الحقوق لم يكن متماشياً ومتسقا مع النمو العمري والمعرفي للتلاميذ في هذه المرحلة.The study analyses the process of socializing human right the English language textbooks within the basic stage of the Jordanian system to achieve this aim the researcher surveyed the concepts of human rights as revealed in the relevent textbooks of the given stqge. The research methodology applied the quantitative -qualitative content analysis technique. a comprehnsive coking schedule conprizing all the concepts of human rights was designed. The study showed no direct reference to these rights in the English textbooks. Rather, such concepts (i.e. the right of human dignity, tolerance and solidarity, freedom and the right of the social justice) were implicitly stated. The study showed further that the presentation of these concepts in the textbooks was inconsistent with respect to the age and cognitive development of those children

    هدفت الدراسة إلى التعرف على طبيعة سلوك الأفراد في الموقف الاتصالي داخل غرف المحادثة في الإنترنت، ودور العواطف في إدارة هذا السلوك والتحكم به، وعلاقة ذلك بمتغيري الجنس والمستوى التعليمي. ولتحقيق ذلك تم اختيار عينة عشوائية تألفت من (694) شابا وشابة ممن يترددون على (83) مقهى من مقاهي الإنترنت المنتشرة في مدينة عمان/ الأردن. وقد وزعت عليه استبانة تألفت من (16) سؤالاً تقيس الأبعاد الاجتماعية والنفسية لسلوكهم داخل غرف المحادثة. وقد توصلت الدراسة إلى وجود اختلاف بين استجابات الأفراد للأسئلة المتعلقة بالبعد الاجتماعي لهذا السلوك داخل هذه الغرف باختلاف جنسهم أثناء اتصالهم مع الآخرين عبر الإنترنت ما عدا في حالة بروز الطاقات الكامنة لدى الجنسين في غرف المحادثة، وفي حالة وجود معايير وضوابط سلوكية في غرف المحادثة توجه سلوكهم فيها. كما توصلت الدراسة أيضاً إلى وجود اختلاف لدى أفراد العينة في استجاباتهم للأسئلة المتعلقة بالبعد النفسي للسلوك داخل هذه الغرف، وباختلاف نوعهم الاجتماعي، ومستوياتهم التعليمية، ما عدا في حالة تكرار كلا الجنسين لعب الأدوار الناجحة مع الآخرين. أما فيما يتعلق بدور العواطف في إدارة السلوك داخل غرف المحادثة فقد تبين أنه كان لها دور واضح في ذلك تباينت قوته وتأثيره بتباين المستويات التعليمية والنوع الاجتماعي، ما عدا في حالتي الاعتداد بالنفس والشعور بالذنب.This study tries to assess the degree to which the social and psychological behavior of the individuals and their emotion management differ in chat-room settings from that of face -to face one. It further examines whether gender and levels of education variables moderate such behavior and emotion within these chat-rooms. It also tries to find out whether users of chat -rooms believe that social constrains and normative standards of behavior extend to this kind of electronic mediated communication. A questionnaire survey, that consisted of 16 items, was given to 694 user of chat-rooms in 83 internet coffees in Amman City, Jordan. Overall, the results showed that the social behavior of the individuals in chat-rooms differ according to gender and levels of education except in the case of utilizing their potentialities in chat-rooms, and to the perception of the social constrains and normative standards of behavior in these rooms. The study found, also, that the psychological behavior in chat-room settings varied according to the gender and levels of education except in the case of repeating the successful roles with those whom they communicated with. As far as their emotions, the study found that the gender and levels of education had played a considerable role in moderating their behavior, and inhibiting them from sending hostile and aggressive messages to others in chat-rooms. This role varied in its power according to the gender and levels of education except in the case of feelings of both pride and guilt

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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
