Feminization of Pakistani Political Discourse in The Heart Divided (1957) by Shahnawaz
No full textThis paper discusses the way Shahnawaz, in her Novel The Heart Divided (1957), portrayed Pakistani political history of 1940s and attempts to explore the extent to which the writer has feminized the political history of Pakistan. This novel is selected because it is the most relevant to this discourse and is written by a women novelist, which describes that although the Pakistan Movement included women out of the political necessity to procure support for the establishment of Pakistan yet this struggle on the part of women finds its place in the pre-partition as well as post-partition Pakistani political discourse. Shahnawaz’s voice, in her novel The Heart Divided (1957), is most dominant of all in this connection because she voiced the struggle and issues of women, especially that of the educated and politically active women. Shamsie claims that The Herat Divided is the very first political discourse, by Shahnawaz, which portrays the feministic aspect of the political struggle emerging rapidly in the shape of Indian nationalism. Although the discussion is carried out on the political environment of the country under the British colonialism yet the story is narrated in the context of the lives of the Muslim women (Shamsie xxii, 1998). The political discourse is viewed through the eyes of a female character, Zohra and all the events related in the novel are somehow related to her, even the unsuccessful love affair of her brother is with her friend, Mohni. Shanawaz describes the effects of colonization on women' life, which is further complicated in that it is written to justify the demand for political freedom and a separate homeland. Shahnawaz indirectly confesses the fact that western education has guaranteed their liberation and the story reveals how their own customs oppress them more than the British. The portrayal of female characters in The Heart Divided (1857) is discussed and analyzed to assess the extent to which Shahnawaz has feminized the Pakistani political discourse

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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

Measuring University Students’ Satisfaction Level on their Courses Experiences
Full text linkThe objective of this study is to determine how satisfied students are with the course experiences provided by the learning facilities in Pakistani universities. This study looks into the factors of what they think is important for their learning environment, because students are the key stakeholders of the learning and education system. On the other hand, the missionary objectives of any university is to provide quality education and produce better alumni, because students’ achievements not only contribute to their scholastic development, but also build the reputation of an institution. Therefore, to measure the students’ satisfaction level of their course experiences, a self-structured survey questionnaire was used to collect the required data from students of different departments. A number of 141 master’s level students were identified from a local university. The data illustrated that the students’ satisfaction level in the provision of courses was low on given choices, like motivational characteristics, ICT application, and life-long learning skills; moderately satisfied for development of analytical and reflective thinking skills; and high level of satisfaction on all these elements except choices that have been reported of low importance
