Traditions of pottery craft in Late Bronze and Earliest Iron Age in territory of Latvia
No full textMaģistra darbā analizētas Latvijas teritorijā esošo pilskalnu – bronzas apstrādes centru, kas datēti ar vēlo bronzas un senāko dzelzs laikmetu, keramikas kolekcijas. Keramikas analīzei izmantotas divas metodes – vizuālās un petrogrāfijas analīzes. Petrogrāfiskajām analīzēm tika sagatavoti 78 keramikas paraugu plānslīpējumi no visiem analizētajām keramikas kolekcijām. Darbā noteiktas un raksturotas dažādas keramikas izgatavošanas tradīcijas – izvēlētā māla sastāvs, tam pievienotie liesinātāji, virsmas apdares veids, izgatavošanas tehnika, profila forma, izmērs un sienu biezums. Balstoties uz iegūtajiem datiem un velkot paralēles ar etnoarheoloģisko pētījumu rezultātiem, tiek veiktas dažādas interpretācijas ne vien māla izvēlē un veidmasas sagatavošanas tehniskajiem un simboliskajiem aspektiem, bet arī podnieka domāšanu un tradīciju mijiedarbību pētāmajā laikaposmā. Pēc iegūtajiem rezultātiem, raksturota arī iespējamā trauku funkcija analizētajā materiālā. Iegūtie rezultāti ne vien salīdzināti savā starpā, bet arī ar citu reģionu – Lietuvas, Igaunijas un Skandināvijas, datiem.In this master’s thesis, the pottery collections of Late Bronze age and Earliest (Pre-roman) Iron age hillforts (only those who were strong bronze working centres) are analysed. In the analysis of pottery two methods were used – macroscopic and microscopic – ceramic petrography. For petrography analysis 78 thin sections were made from all analysed hillfort ceramic collections. In thesis, the structure of clay and clay matrix, as well as temper, surface treatment, ceramic manufacture, shape, vessel size and its wall thickness were analysed and grouped. From these data and ethnoarchaeological data the interpretations were made about choice of raw materials (clay and temper) and technicalities of making the clay matrix, as well as the mind of potter and Late Bronze and Earliest Iron age pottery tradition interaction with each other. From the analysed pottery data, the interpretations of its functions were made. All the results from hillforts pottery collections were not only compared to each other, but also to data from other regions, like Estonia, Lithuania and Scandinavia
Ceramics in Bronze age in Skrundas Krievukalns and Paplakas mound: regional similarities and differences
No full textBakalaura darba „Bronzas laikmeta keramika Skrundas Krievukalnā un Paplakas pilskalnā: reģionālās līdzības un atšķirības” mērķis ir izanalizēt, klasificēt un salīdzināt Skrundas Krievu kalna un Paplakas pilsalnka keramikas kolekcijas. Keramikas analīze palīdz izprast seno kultūru saimniecisko dzīvi, estētiskos priekšstatus, kā arī maiņas sakaru ietekmi uz vietējām tradīcijām, tāpēc tās sīkāku izpēti nedrīkst atstāt novārtā. Abu pilskalnu apdzīvotība, pēc atradumiem, datēta ar I g.t. pr.Kr. jeb vēlā bronzas laikmeta periodu. Abi pilskalni atrodas aptuveni 50 km attālumā viens no otra, tāpēc iekļaujas vienā reģionā, līdz ar to lietderīgi ir salīdzināt abu keramikas kolekcijas un noskaidrot līdzības un atšķirības reģionālā līmenī. Darbā sniegtas ziņas par keramikas trauku diametru, biezumu, to profilu, dibenu un augšmalu formām, kā arī to iedalījumu pēc dažāda rakstura pazīmēm. Darbs pamatā balstīts uz Skrundas Krievu kalna un Paplakas pilskalna izrakumos iegūtajām keramikas kolekcijām,pilskalnos notikušo arheoloģisko izrakumu dokumentācijām un atsevišķu autoru monogrāfijām un publikācijām par podniecību bronzas un agrajā dzelzs laikmetā.The aim of bachelor work „Ceramics in bronze age in Skrundas Krievukalns and Paplakas mound: regional similarities and differences” is to analize and clasify ceramic collections of Skrundas Krievukalns and Paplakas mound. The analyze of ceramic helps to understand more about household of ancient cultures, their aesthetic perceptions and the impact of exchange communication on local traditions, therefore, further research should not be neglected. Both mounds, by their artefacts, are dated with I millennium B.C. or period of late bronze age. Both mounds are located about 50 km from each other, so they are in the same region, therefore it is needed to compare both ceramic collections and find out similarities and differences at regional level. The bachelor work is based on in Skrundas Krievu kalna and Paplakas mound excavated ceramic collections, excavation documentation and books and articles about pottery in bronze and early iron age

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
