Variations on the Author
No full text“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
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

Temporal changes in the Red Sea circulation and associated water masses
No full textLong-term variability of the Red Sea deep water (RSDW) properties was investigated using hydrographic data stretching back to the beginning of the 19th century. The analysis of the potential temperature and salinity indicate that there is a signal of cooling and freshening trends between 1950 to 2011 in the RSDW by an average of 35.5 x10-4 ± 5.6x10-4 oC yr-1 and 13.8x10-4 ± 2.8x10-4 psu yr-1 respectively. Both trends of cooling and freshening are statistically significant with a confidence level of more than 95%. These cooling and freshening trends are consistent with the net heat loss trend in the three source regions for the deep water formation of the Red Sea by an average of -1.12 ± 0.49 Wm-2, -1.75 ± 0.49 Wm-2 and -1.58 ± 0.47 Wm-2 for the northern part of the Red Sea and the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba respectively. The results suggest that the potential temperature and salinity seem to have decreased between 1950 and 2011 by as much as 0.12 oC and 0.13 psu respectively. These changes observed in the potential temperature and salinity in the RSDW are consistent throughout the Red Sea basin (subdivided into 2o grids) for the last three decades (1977-2011).An inverse box model of the Red Sea is constructed using two hydrographic sections in the southern basin during August 2001 from research vessel (R/V) Maurice Ewing to provide quantification of the summer field fluxes (volume, heat and salt). The results show that the volume transport of the Red Sea outflow water (RSOW) to the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Bab el Mandeb is 0.11 ± 0.06 Sv (1 Sv = 106 m3 s-1). There is a heat loss by advection with a magnitude of 23.5 ± 5.7 W m-2 during a summer month (August) that fits well with the previous estimate by Patzert (1974b) with magnitude of 21.81 W m-2 and with magnitude of -22 Wm-2 based on data from i ii Sofianos et al. (2002). There is a salt loss by advection with a magnitude of 0.98 x109 kg s-1 this estimate is supported by the analysis of Tragou et al. (1999) which gives a magnitude of 0.8 x109 kg s-1

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

No full textVelikanska produkcija protiturške propagande je imela za posledico stereotipno podobo Otomana kot divjega, krvoločnega in nečloveškega bitja, označen je bil kot dedni sovražnik krščanstva. Tovrstna propaganda je bila namenjena reševanju notranjih političnih težav. Obenem je ljudsko mišljenje globoko zaznamovalo tisto, kar se je uveljavilo pod imenom turška nadloga in strah pred Turki, o čemer pričajo številne povesti, pesmi, pridige in posamezne šege.The massive scale of anti-Turkish propaganda led to the stereotype of Ottoman as a wild, bloodthirsty and inhuman being, characterised as the hereditary enemy of Christianity. The aim of this kind of propaganda was to solve internal political problems. At the same time, such thinking deeply marked something that asserted itself later as fear of Turks and the feeling that they meant trouble, about which many novels, poems, sermons and individual customs give evidence
