Modes of Loss: al-Andalus in the Arabic Poetic Imagination
Full text linkThis dissertation examines the ways medieval and modern Arab poets utilize the space and image of al-Andalus to express nostalgia, mourning, and loss. This project combines archaeological and art historical sources with medieval and modern historical and literary texts to document the physical reality and social fabric of medieval Spain. These materials along with textual analyses of poetry from Ibn Zaydūn, ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Bayātī, and Maḥmūd Darwīsh, among others, form the basis of my multi-theoretical approach to understanding the impact of loss upon an individual and their respective communities. I argue that while such poetic works deviate from the tradition of the Arabic elegy in structural terms, they are unified in terms of content, especially in portraying al-Andalus as both a lost beloved and an idealized site for mourning. This absent signifier transcends temporal, geographic, and linguistic boundaries to become endemic to Arab cultural memory and identity.I show how these medieval and modern poetic texts creates hybrid documents of history, allegory, and fantasy to express tragedy and hope, memories of the past, and dreams of the future. The events of 1492 in which Nasrid Granada, the last Muslim stronghold in al-Andalus, was handed over to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, are considered a major turning point in Arab cultural history. It is not surprising that this loss, which has been reasonably expressed in medieval Arabic, continues to haunt modern Arabic poetry and still resonates in the imagination of late modern Arab poets. Twentieth-century authors throughout the Arab world have utilized the image of al-Andalus in their poetry.This project offers alternative approaches to intertextuality in Arabic literature by introducing concepts of materiality and visuality. I put architectural and landscape theories in dialogue with anthropological theories of loss and nostalgia to analyze the psychological, physical, and sensory states of the author as they (re)claim possession of the spaces of loss that are no longer in their control. By drawing connections between the literary, visual, and material cultures of al-Andalus and the contemporary Middle East this dissertation employs interdisciplinary methods for understanding the concept of loss, home, and identity
Coconut.
No full textCoconut palm (Cocos nucifera L) is an important perennial crop distributed in most parts of the Asia and the pacific region, and some parts of America. Coconut exists in two major classes, which are typically recognized on the basis of stature: Tall and Dwarf. Cross-breeding between Tall and Dwarf types of coconut has led to the generation of many hybrid coconut varieties. Hybrids with high yield potential and attractive agronomical traits are grown commercially for harvesting either tender nuts or mature nuts. Tender nuts with the maturity stage of 7-8 months are freshly used for drinking or preserved under cold storage for future uses. Mature coconuts are mainly used for obtaining kernel, which is a base material for coconut milk as well as a host of other products. As coconut kernel is composed of lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins, it could be a wholesome food, which can supplement the daily dietary requirement of people
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
Tindak Pidana Penggunaan Pukat Hela Kembar Berpapan (Otter twin Trawls) Oleh Nelayan Belawan”. (Studi di Kepolisian Negara Republik Indonesia Daerah Belawan Sumatera Utara Direktorat Kepolisian Perairan)
No full textKekayaan laut yang berlimpah harus dimanfaatkan secara merata dan adil.
Belawan sebagai daerah pesisir kota Medan yang memliki perairan sangat luas,
dan didalmnya terdapat beragan sumber daya yaitu sumber daya berupa ikan
dengan segala jenisnya dan segala macam kekayaan alam lainnya, seperti terumbu
karang, biota-biota laut padang lumut dan sebagainya. Pasal 2 Undang-Undang
Nomor 31 Tahun 2004 tentang perikanan, dinyatakan bahwa pengelolaan
perikanan dilakukan berdasarkan asas manfaat, asas keadilan, asas kebersamaan,
asas kemitraan, asas kemandirian, asas pemerataan, asas keterpaduan, asas
keterbukaan, asas efesiensi, asas kelestarian, dan asas pembangunan yang
berkelanjutan. Namun pengelolaan dan regulasi yang mengatur penggunaan
kekayaan laut tersebut dinilai masih belum memberi keuntungan bagi Negara
nelayan.
Metode penelitian yang dilakukan adalah penelitian normatif dengan
menggunakan pendekatan empiris yaitu penelitian yang mengambil data dari
lapangan agar mendapat informasi lebih maksimal, di samping itu juga
mengumpulkan data sekunder dari bahan hukum primer yaitu berupa buku-buku
laporan dan bahan yang diteliti. Analisi data mempergunakan analisis kualitatif
yang dijabarkan dan disajikan lebih lanjut dalam pembahasan untuk memperoleh
gambaran tentang pokok-pokok permasalahan. Tujuan yang diharapkan dari
penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan mempelajari faktor penyebab
terjadinya masyarakat menggunakan Pukat Hela Kembar Berpapan (Otter Twin
Trawls) yang dilakukan nelayan Belawan.
Faktor penyebab nelayan menggunakan Pukat Hela Kembar Berpapan
(Otter Twin Trawls) dikarenakan biaya yang sangat murah dan terjangkau, mudah
untuk menangkap ikan-ikan kecil maupun jenis lainnya dalam bentuk besar
sampai yang kecil. Selain itu faktor ekonomi nelayan, sebab nelayan ingin dapat
hasil yang lebih banyak dari laut dengan cara menghabiskan biota-biota laut atau
bibit-bibit ikan dan sejenis nya dengan alat tangkat Pukat Hela Kembar Berpapan
(Otter Twin Trawls). Pertanggung jawaban nelayan dengan menggunakan alat
tangkap Pukat Hela Kembar Berpapan (Otter Twin Trawls). Atas tindak kejahatan
yang dilakukan dengan sengaja, diancam dengan hukuman pidana berdasarkan
Pasal 85 Undang-Undang Perikanan. Dengan adanya Undang-Undang Perikanan
seharus nya nelayan menyadari bahwa alat yang mereka gunakan itu dilarang dan
dampak dari alat-alat tangkap nelayan akan menyebabkan ikan-ikan kecil serta
biota-biota laut atau bibit tidak berkembang dengan baik
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
