The Special Operations Executive and Yugoslavia 1941-1945
No full textThis study explores the role of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) in wartime Yugoslavia, and the influence SOE had on the outcome of events in that country. It traces SOE's development from its early days as a small-scale, semi-amateur organization practising sabotage and subversion, to the later days of the war, when, greatly enlarged, it dealt withfull-scale guerrilla warfare. The work is mainly concerned with the political, rather than the military, side of SOE operations. It includes the relationship with the British policy makers,particularly the Foreign Office and the military authorities, and questions how much influence SOE had in forming their policy. It also analyzes SOE's relationships with the Yugoslav guerrilla movements, the exiled Yugoslav government, other British secret organizations, and SOE's American counterpart. The work covers the rivalries and conflicting purposes of all these bodies, and looks at how the conflicts - not least those within SOE itself - influenced the direction of SOE activity in Yugoslavia. The central question is whether SOE's involvement with the Yugoslav resistance movements made any appreciable contribution to the war against the Axis powers. By supporting firstthe royalist resistance, and, when they proved unsatisfactory, switching to the communist partisans, the British expected to gain military advantage from the increased level of guerrilla activity in Yugoslavia. My thesis is that, because this activity was designed to allay potential political conflict with Britain's Soviet ally, rather than to be of benefit to Yugoslavia itself, the long-term aims of the two opposing resistance movements were not fully taken into account. The conclusion that I have reached is that, far from any significant military advantage being gained, SOE's active involvement in Yugoslavia merely exacerbated the civil war that was just beginning when the first SOE mission arrived in the country. with the Yugoslav guerrilla movements, the exiled Yugoslav government, other British secret organizations, and SOE's American counterpart.

Modeling the Distribution of Purple Martins in New York State
No full textThe purple martin (Progne subis) is a migratory songbird of the swallow family. The eastern subspecies (Progne subis subis) breeds from Florida to Southeastern Canada and has an unusual reliance on humans, nesting exclusively in man-made nest boxes. As the subspecies has experienced the most severe population declines in the North-east of its range, we aimed to produce a species distribution model (SDM) of purple martins in New York State to better understand the environmental factors predicting their occurrence. To inform our model we used occurrence data from the eBird citizen science project along with environmental covariates thought to affect habitat selection in aerial insectivores like the purple martin (tree cover, human population density, proximity to water, temperature and precipitation). We built our model using MaxEnt and fine-tuned the output using AICc rankings through ENM Tools. The final model indicated that three environmental covariates have a significant impact on purple martin distribution: distance from water, human population density, and tree cover. Purple martin occurrence strongly negatively correlates with tree cover- as tree cover increases the probability of purple martin occurrence rapidly declines. This is most likely due to purple martin's preference for housing that is placed in open areas with clear flyways. Purple martins have been known to prefer housing near bodies of water which is supported by the model - as distance from water increases purple martin density decreases. Human population density is also an important factor- as population density increases so does purple martin occurrence. This may be due to humans providing purple martins with housing- areas with very few humans will have fewer nesting opportunities. By providing a scientific basis for nest box location at the regional level, our SDM could have a direct conservation outcome. We also plan to use our model to examine how changes in climate and land cover over the past 40 years may have contributed to the decline in purple martins over the same time period
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
