Titles in Yousif Al Athm; a Semiotic Study
No full textUsing methodologies, modern critical researches have been able to strike the
foundation of traditional critical approaches and practices. It has been also able to give
alternative new methodologies therefore the student has chosen "semiotics" as an alternate
methodology for the traditional ones, which helps in developing semiotics as a modern
Arabic approach that differs from the one being used in the West .
The title of the study is"Titles in Yousif Al Athm; a Semiotic Study". Semiotics is a
critical approach that studies signs, symbols and sign and signified.The title indicates to
the brilliancy of correspondent and the recipient as it shows high lingual efficiency.
The study includes nine Divans of poetry , three hundred and two titles all taken from
Yousif Al Athm poetry. The choice of his poetry is not random one, on the contrary, it is
based on several aspects as: the variety of his titles , structures and style of sentences used
on them . The multiple meanings of one of the titles is another reason as well. I also
wanted to exhibit the validity of semiotic approach for the titles of a poet who usually stick
with the traditional methods. Al Athm poetry hold immense religious , national and
humanitarian value; What makes it more attractive for the reader is Jerusalem and Al Aqsa
mosque as he indicates to their imprisoned homeland, Palestine .
The study has both theoretical and applied dimensions. In the second one , we have
all the titles with comprehensive study and analysis. We have also simplified the critical
discourse in order to fit the Arabic reader. The study also tries to vary the point of views
by using a semiotic approach by standing on different manifestation of the results as well
as making sure of hypothesis we have put in the revision and analysis process.
The approach which used in this study is the semiotic approach in the three chapters
.
One of the most important results this study has attained that semiotics can be traced
back in old Arabic scripts. Even though the name of approaches might differ; semiotics is
extremely connected to the rhetoric of Arabic language.
The study reveals major aspects related to the title, Firstly, it has revealed the
purposes and technical correlation of contextual phenomena such as proffer, delay,
omitting , confirmation , negation and repetition. It also reveals the various themes of one
title, which shows it as a modern literary accomplishment, as well as the importance of
semiotics modern criticism .
However , it should be noted that semiotic is a modern approach that has its
distinctive features and schemas in dealing with literary texts

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
