No full textTephritis kutuki sp. nov (Figures 1–2) Type material: Holotype ♀: Turkey, Bayburt, Kop Mountain, Şehitlik Hill, 28.VI.2018, 40 00’ N, 40 31’ E, 2067 m. leg. M. Yaran & V. Görmez. Paratypes 9 ♀♀, 18 ♂♂: labels as in the holotype (GUGT). Diagnosis. Tephritis kutuki sp. nov. can be distinguished by the following combination of characters: wing with moderately developed pattern not extending into anal cell and anal lobe, brown spots at the end of vein R 4+5 and M joined to each other and widened as typical apical fork but separated from main dark area (as in Tephritis bimaculata Freidberg, 1981 and T. turkeri Kütük & Yaran, 2020); cell m with three large hyaline areas separated two narrow dark rays; abdomen shiny black (as in T. heringinella Korneyev, 2017), and with white setae; pointed and short aculeus. The new species is similar to Tephritis dioscurea (Loew, 1856) in having wing with wide, subrectangular spots at the apices of R 4+5 and M either separated or narrowly fused to each other or remaining dark pattern, anal cell and anal lobe mostly or entirely hyaline, short oviscape, short and pointed aculeus, swollen spermathecae. It differs from T. dioscurea by the pterostigma completely brown without a hyaline spot (in T. dioscurea, pterostigma present one small hyaline spot); larger discal spot; larger three hyaline spots in cell r 2+3 (in T. dioscurea, smaller), two pale small dots surrounding upper part of crossvein r-m (in T. dioscurea, four small dots surrounding crossvein r-m separated); two small hyaline dots at the level of crossvein dm-cu (in T. dioscurea, usually having one small hyaline dot); completely black femora, shiny black abdomen, without gray microtrichose tergites 4–6. The new species is very similar to T. turkeri with separated apical fork, anal cell and anal lobe mostly or entirely hyaline and cell m with three large hyaline areas separated two narrow dark rays. It is distinguished from T. turkeri with completely brown pterostigma, three cloven hyaline spots in cell r 2+3, completely black femora, shiny abdomen, shorter oviscape, slightly shorter than tergites 5 and 6 combined, (in T. turkeri longer than tergites 5–6 combined), shorter and pointed aculeus not incised (in T. turkeri aculeus incised on tip), shorter and swollen spermathecae (in T. turkeri moderately long spermathecae), basal part of phallus glans sclerotized (in T. turkeri fully membranous phallus glans) The new species is similar to T. corolla Richter, 1975, T. heringinella and T. sauterina Merz, 1994 with shiny abdominal tergites 4–6 and short oviscape. It is distinguished easily from them with its unique wing pattern and completely black femora. The new species is also similar to female of T. sahandi with shiny abdominal tergites 5–6 (in T. turkeri with abdominal tergites 4–6) and completely black femora; however, it easily distinguishes from T. sahandi with its unique wing pattern. The new species is also similar to T. bimaculata, T. jabeliae Freidberg, 1981, and T. spreta (Loew, 1862), in having two hyaline spots in R 2+3 combined with the spots on the apices of veins R 4+5 and M separated from the remaining wing pattern, clearly differing from them by having completely black femora, shining abdominal tergites, shorter oviscape.

No full textBu araştırmanın amacını "Çankırı Yaran kültüründe oyun ve eğlencenin yeri ve katılımcıların özellikleri ile boş zaman ve spora ilişkin görüşleri"nin incelenmesi oluşturmaktadır. Ahilik ve yaran geleneğini yaşatmaya çalışan Çankırı yaran kültüründe eğlence oyun ve sporun yerini araştırarak yaran kültürünün ne kadar kapsamlı bir şekilde var olduğunu ve bu kültürü yaşatan insanların toplum içerisinde sigara ve alkol gibi alışkanlıklardan uzak durarak boş zamanlarını değerlendirirken kişisel gelişimlerine katkıda bulunan ortamda bulunarak topluma örnek birer insan olduğunu açıklayan bir çalışmadır. Araştırmanın örneklem grubunu Çankırı il merkezinde bulunan yaran ocaklarında görev alan yaran ağaları ve yarana katılan misafirler oluşturmuştur. Belirlenen hipotezlerin ölçülmesinde araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen ölçme araçları kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen veriler, araştırmanın amaçları doğrultusunda analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen veriler, kodlanarak bilgisayara yüklenmiş ve SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 20 istatistik programı kullanılarak çözümlenmiştir. Verilerin yorumlanmasında yüzde (%), frekans (f) değerleri kullanılmıştır. Yaran ocağına katılan ağaların ocakta oynanan orta oyunlardan en sevdikleri ve seyirciyi en çok eğlendiren oyunun topuk dövme ve ankette sorulmayan fakat yaran ocağında oynanan diğer oyunları da sevdikleri görülmüştür. Yaran ocağına katılan ağaların mahalli oyunlardan en çok sevdikleri oyunun Çarşıdan üç mum aldım, Kahve Yemenden gelir ve Kömür gözlüm olduğu görülmüştür. Yaran ocağına katılan misafirlerin ocakta oynanan orta oyunlardan en sevdikleri ve seyirciyi en fazla eğlendiren oyunun samut simit ve deveci biro olduğunu belirtmiştir. Yaran ocağına katılan misafirlerin mahalli oyunlardan en çok sevdikleri oyunun ankette sorulmayan fakat yaran ocağında oynanan diğer oyunlar ve Kahve Yemenden gelir olduğu görülmüştür. Yaran ağalarının ve yarana katılan misafirlerin anket sonuçlarına göre yaran ağaların ve misafirlerin sigara kullanım oranı oldukça yüksektir. Yaran ağalar alkol kullanmamakta olup yaran ocağına katılan misafirlerde alkol kullanan oranı yüksektir. Yaran ağalar ve misafirler boş zamanlarını değerlendirirken spor yapmaktadırlar. Yaran ağalar yarana sosyal olmak için katılmaktadır. Yaran kültürü yaran ağaların ve misafirlerin davranışlarına olumlu katkıda bulunmaktadır. Yaran ağalar çocuklarınındı yarana devam etmelerini istemektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Çankırı, Yaran Kültürü, Yaren, Oyun, Eğlence, Spor, Boş ZamanThis research aims at observing and analyzing of "the importance and the status of game, fun and sport in the Çankırı Yaran culture". Çankırı as a research, which tries to keep alive Ahi and Yaran tradition and shows the extent of Yaran culture, studying on the status of fun, game and sport in the Yaran culture and mention that the people, who provides continuance of this culture, don't have smoking or drinking habit in the community and they spend their time in a good way being in rich environments that support their individual development, so they become role models for the community. The sample group of the research is composed with Yaran agas taking charge at the Yaran association located in Çankırı city center and the guests attending to the associations. The evaluation techniques and instruments decided and created by the researcher were used to evaluate the hypotheses which were determined beforehand.The data founded at the end of the research were analyzed in the accordance with the research aims. The percentage distribution was based on individual indicators of young people in the scope of the study. Simple and multiple linear regression analysis were used to test the hypotheses. The agas participating in Yaran Ocak like "Topuk Dövme (Beating heels)" at most and this type amuses the audience the most among the light comedies played in the "Ocak" and it was observed that they like other games that aren't asked at the questionnaire, but played in the "Ocak". It was stated that the agas participating in Yaran Ocak like the game called "Çarşıdan üç mum aldım (I bought three candles from the bazaar), Kahve Yemenden Gelir (The coffee comes from Yemen) and Kömür gözlüm (My black like coal- eyed lover) at most among the local games.The guests participating in Yaran Ocak like the games called "Samut Simit" and "Deveci Biro" at most among the low comedies played in the Ocak. Also, these games amuse the audience at most. It was observed that the guests participating in Yaran Ocak like the most "Kahve Yemenden Gelir" and other games that aren't asked at the questionnaire, but played in the Yaran Ocak among the local games. According to the questionnaire results of Yaran agas and the guests participating in Yaran, the smoking rate of both these groups is very high. While the Yaran agas don't drink alcohol, consuming alcohol rate of the guests is high.The Yaran agas and the guests do sports to spend their free time. The Yaran agas join the Yaran to be outgoing and sociable. The Yaran culture contributes a lot to Yaran agas and the guests' behavior. Yaran agas want their kids to continue with Yaran
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
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
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
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
The Thursday Murder Club: Launching a megabrand author - a publishing case study
No full textIn 2020, the Christmas book charts in the UK made headlines: Barack Obama’s eagerly awaited autobiography, The Promised Land, was beaten to the top spot by The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, a debut cosy crime novel set in a retirement village. Not only did Osman’s book beat the former US president’s expected bestseller, it also broke records, becoming the fastest-selling debut crime novel of all time. Although Osman has a certain level of fame in the UK from his TV appearances on shows such as Pointless, his celebrity status does not entirely explain the novel’s huge sales. This article tracks the acquisition, publication, and promotion journey of The Thursday Murder Club in order to understand the industry and cultural context of its success and to interrogate the role of celebrity in the creation of author brands. The findings suggest that the unexpected scale of the success of the book owed to a number of factors, including in-depth editing by the novel’s agent, editor, and author to tighten up the plot, an extensive and strategic promotional campaign, the pandemic (which drove interest in the book’s genre and themes), and the quality of the writing. We find that the book’s success was accentuated by Osman’s celebrity status rather than being entirely reliant on it. This research adds to the growing scholarship on celebrity authorship by means of an in-depth case study and provides insight into the processes behind publishing a ‘celebrity’ book and launching a megabrand author
