As INSCRIÇÕES DOS “PRIMEIROS” AQUEMÊNIDAS? TRADUÇÃO PARA O PORTUGUÊS DE AMHA, ASHA, CMA, CMB E CMC, COM COMENTÁRIOS
Full text linkFor epigraphic, grammatical, and historical reasons, the inscriptions AmHa, AsHa, CMa-c, attributed to the “kings” Ariaramnes and Arsames, as well as king Cyrus II, “the Great”, respectively, are often considered forgeries from later times (modern forgeries or inscriptions from the late Achaemenid period). This is an extremely relevant issue, since the entire Achaemenid History as currently retold by historians would have to be deeply reassessed if these inscriptions were considered authentic. The present article contains a brief introduction to these inscriptions and the diverse theories about them. A Portuguese translation of the Persian texts is presented following SCHMITT’s critical edition (2009), with brief historical and grammatical commentaries on notes. The aim of this article is to widen the access of the common and specialized audience to these (authentic or alleged) Achaemenid texts.

Por questões epigráficas, gramaticais e históricas, as inscrições AmHa, AsHa, CMa-c, atribuídas aos “monarcas” Ariaramnes e Arsames, e ao rei Ciro II, “o Grande”, respectivamente, são amiúde consideradas falsificações tardias (modernas ou do final do período Aquemênida). Esse ponto é extremamente relevante, pois, caso fossem consideradas autênticas, toda a história Aquemênida tal qual recontada atualmente pelos historiadores estaria sujeita a uma profunda reavaliação. O presente artigo contém uma breve introdução sobre tais inscrições e as diversas teorias a seu respeito. É proposta uma tradução do persa para o português a partir da edição crítica de SCHMITT (2009), apresentando, em notas, breves comentários históricos e gramaticais. O objetivo é ampliar o acesso do público leigo e especializado a essas (autênticas ou supostas) inscrições dos reis Aquemênidas.

Explorando a materialidade do monumento de Dario I em Behistun (Bīsitūn): texto, imagem e performance no Império Aquemênida (c. 550-330 a.C.)
Full text linkAchaemenid official imagery has traditionally been interpreted either in terms of contemplative “art” or as imperial “propaganda.” However, interpreting monumental reliefs solely as canonical expressions of aesthetic excellence is anachronistic. Besides, the term “propaganda” may be misleading according the particular media discussed (rock reliefs, papyri, stele, etc.). To deepen our understanding of Achaemenid visual culture, new interpretive approaches are necessary. In the specific case of the Behistun monument, recent studies have begun to explore its performative dimensions and its capacity to elicit emotional responses. Building on this direction, we propose a reassessment of the Achaemenid concept of “image” as articulated in the inscription of Behistun and other Achaemenid documents. Our aim is to evaluate how the Old Persian term patikara- was conceptualized and how the interplay between text and image functioned in lived experience. Drawing on Bahrani’s interpretation of ṣalmu in the Assyro-Babylonian tradition, we argue that the monument was intended to embody the perpetual presence of justice.A iconografia oficial Aquemênida tem sido tradicionalmente interpretada como “arte” contemplativa ou como “propaganda” imperial. No entanto, considerar os relevos monumentais unicamente como expressões canônicas de excelência estética é algo anacrônico. Além disso, o termo “propaganda” pode ser inadequado quando utilizado sem considerar o meio específico em questão (relevos, papiros, estelas, etc.). Para aprofundar nossa compreensão da cultura visual Aquemênida, são necessárias novas abordagens interpretativas. No caso específico do monumento de Behistun, estudos recentes passaram a explorar suas dimensões performativas e sua capacidade de provocar respostas emocionais. Seguindo essa direção, propomos uma reavaliação do conceito Aquemênida de “imagem”, tal como articulado na inscrição de Behistun e em outros documentos Aquemênidas. Nosso objetivo é avaliar como o termo persa antigo patikara- foi conceituado e como a interação entre texto e imagem operava na experiência vivida. Com base na interpretação de Bahrani do termo ṣalmu na tradição assiro-babilônica, argumentamos que o monumento pretendia encarnar a presença perpétua da justiça

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
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
