Issues on Implementation of the Laws Relating to Conservation of Ancient Monuments in Mandalay City
Full text linkAncient Monument means every structure, monument, every cave, religious buildings and ancient city, bridge which is of historical, archaeological or artistic interest which has been in existence for not less than 100 years. Mandalay City is rich in historical cultural heritage and many ancient monuments that are beneficial to tourist industry. Ancient Monuments have faced many threats to its security, those which are environmental, like pollution and climate change, natural disasters as well as human-driven threats. The purposes of this research are to examine the implementation of the law and policy on protection and preservation of ancient monuments so as not to deteriorate due to natural disaster or man made destructions and to have public awareness of the high value of ancient monuments. This research examines the legal protections related to the issues of ancient monument conservation in conformity with the existing laws by the relevant Department of Archaeology and National Museum. Methodologically, this research is conducted by the qualitative research approaches which focus on analysis of the existing laws and data collection through in-depth interviews. This study concludes that in order to effectively protect and preserve of ancient monument, the existing laws need to be implemented effectively. Moreover, the necessary technology and human resources should be fulfilled to implement the law effectively. Government should undertake to promote the public awareness regarding the values of cultural heritage on different media such as social media, broadcast media and printed media
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

Case Study on Concurrent Jurisdiction in Internal Waters
Full text linkThe coastal State possesses full sovereignty over its internal waters as if they were part of its land territory. Coastal state have absolutely jurisdiction over foreign vessel in internal waters if it is prejudicial to the peace, good order or security of the coastal State but the jurisdiction in the internal water is exercised subject to United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982 as well as other rules of international law. A State is called flag State when the ship is registered in that country. Flag State have exclusively jurisdiction over a vessel that is registered with the State and flying its flag. When a foreign vessel enters into the port of the coastal State, it must comply the laws of the coastal State. In addition flag state can exercise jurisdiction over its ship. The key objective of this research is how to know about jurisdiction whether flag State or coastal State and there is no prohibition of concurrent jurisdiction under UNCLOS, and vessels therefore can be subject to the jurisdiction of State besides the flag State in certain circumstances, such as entering coastal State’s internal water. This research is to examine the cases related with internal waters, as well as the concurrent jurisdiction between the coastal State and flag State with the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982 and other international laws. Furthermore this paper delineates different adjudicated cases in connection with their facts, issues, judgment and reasoning
