Attaching a Concept Note on a Payments-related Entrepreneurial Idea I had 4 years ago when I was in India. Although a lot has since changed, some trends forecast in the concept note have actually become reality - especially the emergence of Co-operative Banks as a crucial channel for reaching underbanked & unbanked population in the rural areas. Thus, the material may still be somewhat pertinent today. Opening it up for any entrepreneur or Entity interested in the Payments area, especially in India- with possible applications in other Emerging economies as well. Enjoy and feel free to re-use

Diffusion of Latent Semantic Analysis as a Research Tool: A Social Network An...Yasar Tonta
Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) is a relatively new research tool with a wide range of applications in different
fields ranging from discourse analysis to cognitive science, from information retrieval to machine learning and
so on. In this paper, we chart the development and diffusion of LSA as a research tool using Social Network
Analysis (SNA) approach that reveals the social structure of a discipline in terms of collaboration among
scientists. Using Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science (WoS), we identified 65 papers with “Latent Semantic
Analysis” in their titles and 250 papers in their topics (but not in titles) between 1990 and 2008. We then
analyzed those papers using bibliometric and SNA techniques such as co-authorship and cluster analysis. It
appears that as the emphasis moves from the research tool (LSA) itself to its applications in different fields,
citations to papers with LSA in their titles tend to decrease. The productivity of authors fits Lotka’s Law while
the network of authors is quite loose. Networks of journals cited in papers with LSA in their titles and topics are
well connected.

O bölgede yüzyıllarca var olan kültürel çoğulculuğun parçası olduğu için kendi kültürel mirasını yok etmek kültürel intihar anlamına gelmekte olup, aynı zamanda kültürün girift doğasını da açığa çıkarmaktadır. Bu [kütüphanenin yok edilmesi], kültürün soyutlanmış bir varlık olmadığını, başka milletlerin kültürünü yok etmekle aynı zamanda kendi kültürümüzü de yok ettiğimizi, çünkü tüm kültürlerin iç içe geçtiğini ve birbirine bağımlı olduğunu gösteren örnek bir vakaydı.” Zgonjanin (2005, s. 136-137) Kültürel Miras Kurumlarının Yok Edilmesi Suç “ Balkan Alzheimer’ı hastalığı” (De Bernières, 2008, s. 51).
