Experimental Researches in Tourism - A Bibliometric Analysis

The aim of the study is to reveal the empirical trends in the tourism literature by analyzing the experimental researches carried out in the field of tourism in terms of bibliometric. The research data comprise 648 studies published “empirical” and “experimental” topic title between 1982-2017 in the top five tourism journals according to the Journal Citation Reports which are Tourism Management(TM), Journal of Travel Research(JTR), Journal of Sustainable Tourism(JST), Cornell Hospitality Quarterly(CHQ) and Annals of Tourism Research(ATR) indexed in "Hospitality, Leisure, Sport and Tourism" research area. The journals are examined in terms of publication numbers by years, country cooperations, common publication citation networks and topic orientations. Social network analysis has been used to determine the country collaborations, common publication citation networks and topic orientations. According to the results obtained in the study; %92,1 of publications were published after 2000. 58.5% of the publications were published between 2011 and 2017. USA and Spain have an important role in country cooperations. “Multivariate Data Analysis” written by Joseph F. Hair, Jr et al. in 2010 is the most basic reference source that guides the studies. This book was effective especially in the period between 2014 and 2017. Behavioral intention, strategic planning researches and environmental innovation are the most studied topics.

KUR ÂN-I KERÎM E GÖRE HZ. PEYGAMBER VE MUCİZE

In this study while the relation of the Prophet Muhammad with the miracle was examined, the Qur'an was used as the basic reference source. It has also benefited from hadith and sources of Islamic history. As a result of this research, it is concluded that sending miracles belongs to Allah in the basis of Qur’anic verses, sensible/tangible miracles were given to the other prophets but Prophet Muhammad and that has not caused any deficiencies on the Messenger of Allah. From this point of view, Allah has given the Prophet Muhammad the Qur'an, which has impacts beyond the ages and is the only rational/spiritual miracle both as a source of messages and evidence and testimony of prophecy. Therefore, in this context, the miracles attributed to Prophet Muhammad outside the Qur'an as an effort of competing the prophets must be met with caution.

HZ. PEYGAMBERİN GAYB BİLGİSİNE İLİŞKİN RİVAYETLERİN TAHLİLİ

In this research, narrations about Prophet Muhammad’s unseen knowledge (ghayb) were evaluated. In this context, methodological perspective specific to historical research was strictly followed while narrations were discussed. The Qur'an was used as the basic reference source when the narrated narrations were analysed. It has also benefited from hadith and sources of Islamic history. As a result of this research, first of all, it is concluded that unseen knowledge totally belongs to Allah in the basis of Qur’anic verses and categorising as “absolute unseen” or “relative unseen” is not appropriate. From this point of view, prophets have just a grasp of unseen knowledge as much as Allah informs them. Therefore, The unseen knowledge of the Prophet Muhammad the Last Messenger is limited to the Qur'an. For this reason he never make a statement about the unseen by exceeding his authority. In this context, the unseen news attributed to him outside the Qur'an must be met with caution.

İSLAM MEDENİYETİNDE BİRLİKTE YAŞAMA KÜLTÜRÜ

Civilisations are among the most determining factors on living together culture. Each civilization's approach, capacity and influence level of its members vary on this issue. In this study, Islamic civilization’s living together culture is primarily investigated from its basic reference sources. Then, history of Islamic civilisation is analyzed in the context of living together culture. This analysis focuses on living together culture in the Islamic civilisation both among the substantive components and minorities. Also, living together culture in Western civilisation is investigated both in the historical and contemporarily practices for comparing Islamic and Western civilisation’s approaches related to the issue.

Euphonium Recitals and Library Instruction: Recitals as an Alternative Library Instruction Method

Chapman University's Performing Arts Librarian Scott Stone presented solo euphonium lectures recitals in February 2010 and March 2011. During these recitals Stone, the present author, briefly talked about what library resources he utilized to obtain scores, sound recordings, and basic reference sources to study each piece in a proper historical context (2010) and basic resources for writing program notes (2011). During the months after the first recital, Stone saw a marked increase in interaction with music students and faculty members as shown by an increase in reference consultations and other informal relations. [Supplementary materials are available for this article. Go to the publisher's online edition of Music Reference Services Quarterly for the following free supplemental resources: a handout from the 2010 recital which provides information on the resources discussed during the program, and a recital program from the 2011 recital which provides information on using music library resources to write program notes]

Anesthesia Student Survival Guide – A Case-Based Approach

The purpose of this book is to serve as an introductory text and basic reference source for students who are new to the specialty of anesthesia. I reviewed the text with assistance from the medical students who shared my operating lists, and all of us were generally impressed with the book. The writing style is uniformly strong, which makes the book easy to read. Also, the authors convey their enthusiasm for the specialty of anesthesiology as well as for sharing their knowledge, which makes it easy for the reader to become engaged in the book simply by reading through a chapter, or perhaps several chapters. A set of case studies–one case study for each chapter–is at the beginning of the book, and it is recommended that the case study be read before reading the associated chapter. Using this approach should assist the student reader in gaining the utmost information from the text. Some students enjoyed this approach, while others found it somewhat cumbersome. The individual chapters of the book are subdivided into informatively-titled sections that present comprehensive information on the chapter’s topic. Most chapters begin with a set of learning objectives, and there is a two or three-page discussion based on the case study at the end of each chapter. For the most part, these discussions are skillfully prepared; they provide excellent insight into the chapter’s material, and they expand on some of the information presented. This design limits the book’s usefulness as a quick reference, since the information for each chapter is found in two places, the central part of each chapter and its discussion section. The book provides extensive coverage of the field of anesthesia. The thirty-two chapters are grouped logically into seven sections plus two appendices (addressing the American Society of Anesthesiologists’ difficult airway algorithm and Malignant Hyperthermia). The medical students found that the technique of allocating a chapter to each of three stages of anesthesia, i.e., ‘‘Preoperative Considerations’’, ‘‘Intraoperative Considerations’’, and ‘‘Postoperative Considerations’’, to be particularly helpful in developing their foundational understanding of approaches to anesthesia. The data are generally presented in a concise and straightforward manner that is easy to view and understand, although some tables are rather lengthy with a relatively small font. With just over five hundred pages, the text may be daunting to medical students who are pursuing a one or two-week rotation in anesthesia. However, there is sufficient information in individual chapters to facilitate reading them out of sequence on their own. The book can be navigated readily due to its effectively worded table of contents; however, the index is brief and incomplete, for instance, ‘‘Patient Controlled Analgesia’’ (PCA) does not appear in the index. The paragraph on this topic can be found by following the table of contents to the appropriate chapter and then skimming through the chapter’s sections. In Section V, ‘‘Systems Physiology and Anesthetic Subspecialties’’, the chapters are titled by specialty, e.g., ‘‘Anesthesia for Urological Surgery’’. This approach is very useful for students who wish to review a single chapter in anticipation of a day’s clinical experience in the operating room, although it does lead to some material being duplicated in more than one chapter or being presented in a fragmented manner in several chapters. Cross referencing is limited, possibly to control the book’s length and complexity, but that aspect can make it difficult to find complete information on a topic even though the text incorporates the information.

LibMesh : a C++ library for parallel adaptive mesh refinement/coarsening simulations

In this paper we describe the libMesh (http://libmesh.sourceforge.net) framework for parallel adaptive finite element applications. libMesh is an open-source software library that has been developed to facilitate serial and parallel simulation of multiscale, multiphysics applications using adaptive mesh refinement and coarsening strategies. The main software development is being carried out in the CFDLab (http://cfdlab.ae.utexas.edu) at the University of Texas, but as with other open-source software projects; contributions are being made elsewhere in the US and abroad. The main goals of this article are: (1) to provide a basic reference source that describes libMesh and the underlying philosophy and software design approach; (2) to give sufficient detail and references on the adaptive mesh refinement and coarsening (AMR/C) scheme for applications analysts and developers; and (3) to describe the parallel implementation and data structures with supporting discussion of domain decomposition, message passing, and details related to dynamic repartitioning for parallel AMR/C. Other aspects related to C++ programming paradigms, reusability for diverse applications, adaptive modeling, physics-independent error indicators, and similar concepts are briefly discussed. Finally, results from some applications using the library are presented and areas of future research are discussed.

The composition of the solar photosphere

The Sun is unique because chemical composition data can be derived from very different layers, from the center to the outermost coronal layers, using very different techniques like helioseismology, spectroscopy, particle collection techniques, … Differences in chemical composition are observed allowing to discover how the different solar layers evolve. The composition of the solar photosphere, which represents the composition of the outer convective zone, is the basic reference source of elemental abundances. We review the current status of our knowledge of the chemical composition of this layer and compare it with data from other solar sources as well as with meteoritic data.

Power research— who needs it?

First and second-year undergraduate students frequently need help developing a research topic, identifying keywords, designing a search strategy, and using a variety of databases and basic reference sources to gather information. In addition, many have not yet developed skills for evaluating the information they do find. To offer beginning researchers assistance on learning how to approach and work through a research problem, a one and one-half hour “Power Research Workshop” was developed. The workshop and workshop materials are described, and an analysis of the successes and failures of the workshop is presented.

Europe East and West: Basic business reference sources

Two profound changes are taking place in Europe—the economic and political integration in the West and the democratic and economic evolution of the East. Though war and its expectation have been the destiny of the European nation states since the Middle Ages, the future holds out the promise of peace, economic growth, and prosperity.

The Emergence of Giant Enterprise, 1860-1914: American Commercial Enterprise and Extractive Industries

The second edition of this guide to basic reference sources in the social sciences contains 2200 entries. In addition to revising and substantially enlarging the chapters on reference sources, the author has added a chapter on geography and one on business that is distinct from economics. Since the publication of the first edition, there have been two obvious developments in information storage and retrieval: the rapid development of online databases and the development of CD-ROM. Instead of devoting a separate chapter to these developments, the book incorporates online databases, CD-ROM and other forms of data sources into the text. In addition, there is a brief introduction to these developments. Although the general deadline for inclusion in the volume was December 1988, quite a few titles published in 1989 are included. The volume consists of two parts: the social sciences in general, dealing with the nature of the social sciences, bibliographical needs and usage of social scientists, research resources and reference sources in the social sciences in general; and sub-disciplines of the social sciences, including cultural anthropology, history, law, political science, psychology, and sociology. Reference sources for each sub-discipline in part two (and some chapters in part one) are broadly classified into four sections: access to sources, sources of information, periodicals, and additional reference sources. Each secion is further divided as follows. Under the access to sources section, headings start with guides, followed in general by bibliographies of bibliographies, bibliographies, theses and dissertations, reviews, indexes, abstracts, and contents reproduction. In the sources of information section, headings are arranged in the following sequence: primary sources, encyclopaedias, dictionaries, directories, biographies, statistical sources, and handbooks, yearbooks and the like. Headings may be further divided by subject, depending on the number of sources. Titles under each heading and sub-heading are arranged alphabetically by title. All titles are suppled with ISBN and/or ISSN number, if known.

The Public Policy and Management Program for Case/Course Development

This review essay does not examine a specific publication as such. Rather it is a general commentary on the collection provided by the Public Policy and Management Program for Case/Course Development, formerly the Intercollegiate Case Clearing House (ICCH) Public Policy and Management Program. Under this program, hundreds of teaching cases are now readily available through the recently renamed Harvard Business School (HBS) Case Services, formerly ICCH.1 program, directed by a Council on Public Policy and Management, has issued three successive bibliographies (1978, 1979, and 1980).2 revised 1979 edition listed 577 cases. That edition remains the basic reference source. updated 1980 edition lists 26 recommended cases approved by a peer review system, 120 best selling cases, 230 new cases, and 25 older cases with new teaching notes (so that nearly half of these listings are duplicated from 1979). Later cases are reported in the Council's Public Policy and Management Newsletter.3 Some of these cases have been commissioned, reviewed, and approved by a separate Public Policy Curriculum Materials Development Program. Many of these cases have been published in a series of casebooks.4 authors have been asked to review this case/ course development program, commenting on as many cases as possible, and discussing the general characteristics and attributes of the collection in terms of teaching and other purposes. First, the essay will examine the case both as a pedagogical tool for classroom instruction and as a research vehicle for theory development or proposition testing. We do so both because the method is presently undergoing close scrutiny along these dimensions, and as a basis for evaluating the development effort. Second, we will analyze the existing collection as a whole. The primary objective of the ICCH Council on Public Policy and Management is to increase the quality and availability of curriculum materials for use in public policy, public management, and public administration programs.' We will try to consider how well and in what specific directions the program has accomplished this objective. Finally, the essay will touch on those cases which the authors find most germane to this review. Since we can discuss only a fraction of the several hundred cases available, our selection is inevitably a highly subjective one. recent name changes are occasioned by the decision of the Harvard Business School to cease distribution, as of July 1983, of cases authored at other institutions. Henceforth, HBS Case Services will sell only their own cases. It will continue listing non-Harvard cases in its annual bibliography in a special section; but other institutions must disseminate their own cases directly. Public Policy and Management Program plans to continue its newsletter as a vehicle for publicizing new cases.6 effects of this change on the collection's direction, quality, and availability are as yet unknown, but may well be negative. peer review system was initiated in spring 1979, when panels of outstanding specialists were created. An editorial board developed criteria for excellent teaching material in terms of being both well written and useful. Of 78 cases reviewed in the initial round, 26 were approved. purpose of this peer review process is to create a journal-like publication mode for writers: The cases that met the board's standards became

Anthropology: Haas Revisited

In the October/December 1977 issue of Reference Services Review Marilyn Haas provided a superb review of the basic reference sources for the study of anthropology. Her review is by no means out of date, but enough new material had appeared since then to warrant the following supplement.

An annotated bibliography of parasitic Isopoda (Crustacea) of Chondrichthyes

This annotated bibliography is an attempt to bring together all available published records on the parasitic isopods of Chondrichthian fishes as a basic reference source. An effort was made to synonymise old names according to the presently accepted scientific names.

Ground Rules for the Study and Teaching of Subject Literatures

Published studies concerning the characteristics of subject literatures reveal that there is no eommon basis for determining what constitutes the literature of a subject. Although con siderable knowledge exists on the bibliometric and documentation characteristics of many subjects, library schools continue to teach essentially basic reference sources in large groesps of subject areas. Four criteria for determining the scope of subject literatures are stiggested and a Curriculum for the Literature of Geography is proposed as example of how education for librarianship must reflect both established and controversial knowledge.

A Self-Study Approach to Reference Sources

ONE OF THE PROBLEMS facing most teachers of library school reference courses is that of assisting the student to become familiar with some basic reference sources which he may need to use on the job; to do so in such a way that he can also be aware of, examine, and make use of hundreds of other not so basic reference sources; to do this without unduly boring or antagonizing the student, and without infringing upon time needed for learning other important aspects of the field of reference service. This problem has been dealt with in various ways, the most traditional of which is the presentation and discussion of these sources in the classroom at the expense of other material which could also be discussed profitably in the class. Faced with this problem at the Graduate School of Library Studies at the University of Hawaii, we decided to explore the possibility of using a programmed instruction or self -study approach to cover necessary material on specific basic reference sources. The student could then use this approach for directed self-study outside of class, thus freeing class time for other matters or simply cutting down on the amount of class time required. Since no such programmed or self -study text for reference existed, we had first to develop such a text, then to test it against the traditional method to determine whether the use of such a text would be at least as effective as the use of in-class time to cover the material. The original impetus for the idea came from Ralph R. Shaw, Dean

Legal Implications of Emergency Care.

This book presents a comprehensive, highly readable, and informative survey of the law and related matters concerning emergency medical care within hospitals and elsewhere. Although it is not at the level of a basic legal reference source for attorneys, it should be of interest and value to physicians, hospital administrators, and all others who participate in emergency medical care. It is, of course, too much to hope that any book of this kind would be completely without fault. The following critical comments do not detract from the overall usefulness of the book: It presents a somewhat misleading analysis of Sanzari vs Rosenfeld , implying that a drug brochure was admitted into evidence to establish the standard of medical care; it was not admitted for that purpose. In commenting on Darling vs Charleston Community Hospital , the author fails to note that the Standards for Hospital Accreditation of the Joint Commission on Accreditation
