A válság hatása a magyar élelmiszergazdasági külkereskedelemre nemzetközi összehasonlításban = The Impacts of the Crisis in the Foreign Trade of the Hungarian Food Economy in an International Context
Full text linkTanulmányunk célja elmúlt években bekövetkezett hirtelen élelmiszer-árrobbanás, majd árzuhanás ennek az árciklusnak az élelmiszergazdasági külkereskedelemre gyakorolt hatáselemezése volt. Az egyes országok egyenlegeinek összehasonlíthatósága az abszolút méretbeli eltérések miatt nehézségekbe ütközött, ezért bevezettünk egy új módszert. Először az „élelmiszergazdaság-külkereskedelmi profil” segítségével azt mutattuk ki, hogy a vizsgált termékcsoportok (árufőcsoportok, vagy feldolgozottsági szintek) milyen mértékben járulnak hozzá az adott ország élelmiszer-külkereskedelmi mérlegéhez. A második lépésben a „profil-indexálás” során a kiválasztott termékek bázis időszakra vonatkozó átlag egyenlegét (2002-2004) a havi FAO árindexszel szoroztuk. Az indexálás nyomán létrejött, kiemelten az ár-hatást tükröző potenciális havi egyenleg adatokat összevetve a tényleges havi külkereskedelmi eredményekkel az eltérések alapján információt kaphattunk arról, hogy az adott ország mennyire tudott élni az árrobbanás nyújtotta piaci lehetőségekkel. Az elemzés alapján elmondható, hogy Magyarország élelmiszergazdasági külkereskedelme az árciklus és ezen belül elsősorban az árrobbanás nyertesei közé sorolható. Lényegesen javult az egyenlegünk a két időszak között, mivel a gabona- és olajos növények exportja a növekvő piaci áraknak köszönhetően ugrásszerűen nőtt a 2007-2008. években. A többi ágazat képe alapján azonban már inkább a vesztesek körébe kerültünk, elsősorban a húspiacon (kivéve a baromfiszektort), a tej és tejtermékek, valamint a gyümölcs és zöldség termelés csökkenő nemzetközi versenyképessége miatt. A vizsgálat azonban azt is mutatta, hogy közvetlen versenytársaink közül néhány ország jobban élt a válság adta lehetőségekkel. Hollandia például nem a növekvő nyersanyagáraknak köszönhetően ért el jelentős egyenlegjavulást, ráadásul a dráguló importot is sikerült kordában tartania. A hússzektorban a nettó élelmiszergazdasági importőrnek számító Németország is egyre jobban veszélyeztette a magyar külpiaci pozíciót. Olaszország a magas hozzáadott értékű élelmiszertermékek növekvő exportjára helyezte a hangsúlyt, így javult az élelmiszergazdasági külkereskedelem negatív egyenlege. A válságot tehát a felsorolt országok exportőrei jobban ki tudták használni. =
Our study has analysed the sudden price explosion followed by the drop in the price of food products and the impacts of this price cycle on the foreign trade of the food economy. Due to the differences in their absolute sizes, a comparison of the balances of the different countries proved to be difficult; therefore we have introduced a new methodology. Firstly, with the help of the “food economy foreign trade profile” we have examined to what extent the product categories under examination (main product groups or different processing level products) contributed to the food economy foreign trade balance of the country concerned. In the second stage, during “profile-indexing”, the average balance of the selected products in the reference period (2002-2004) has been multiplied by the monthly FAO price index. Through comparing the potential monthly balance data, resulting from the indexing and reflecting strongly the price effects, with the actual monthly foreign trade results, information can be obtained from the divergences of the ability of the studied country to exploit the market opportunities created by the price explosion. On the basis of the analyses it can be established that Hungary’s food economy foreign trade could be ranked among the winners of the price cycle and especially of the price explosion. Its trade balance remarkably improved between the two periods, thanks to the considerable growth of cereals and oilseeds exports due to the increasing market prices in the period 2007-2008. However based on the results of the other sectors, Hungary was among the losers, especially as regards the markets for meat (with the exception of the poultry sector), milk and dairy products, as well as due to the decreasing international competitiveness of the fruit and vegetable production. At the same time however the assessment has demonstrated that several countries from among Hungary’s direct competitors were able to better exploit the opportunities arising from the crisis. The Netherlands, for example, realised a remarkable trade balance improvement, and not as a consequence of the increasing commodity prices, while also succeeding in keeping in check the rise in import prices. In the meat sector, Germany, which is otherwise a net food importer, also increasingly endangered the Hungarian meat market position. Italy focused on increasing exports of high added value food products and in this way its negative foreign trade balance could be improved. Thus, exporters of the above-listed countries could better exploit the crisis
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
