    This study empirically explores the dynamic interactions between the European and Indonesian cocoa markets during the 2008 global financial crisis (GFC) and the 2011 European debt crisis (EDC) using a battery of time series approaches of cointegration and multivariate Granger causality. The study documented a long-run equilibrium between the European and Indonesian cocoa markets, implying a reciprocal relationship. However, an inefficient adjustment transmission in the Indonesian cocoa prices was recorded throughout the study. The US currency constantly influenced Indonesian cocoa prices, while cocoa markets were independent of fluctuations in world oil prices. Overall, the study recorded a different level of the speed of adjustment of short-run imbalances to long-run equilibrium in the domestic cocoa market across economic crises.Opracowanie przedstawia badanie empiryczne dynamicznych interakcji między europejskim i indonezyjskim rynkiem kakao podczas globalnego kryzysu finansowego w 2008 r. (GFC) i europejskiego kryzysu zadłużenia w 2011 r. (EDC). Badanie zrealizowano wykorzystując podejścia kointegracji i wieloczynnikowej przyczynowości Grangera w oparciu o zestaw szeregów czasowych. Badanie potwierdziło długoterminową równowagę między europejskim i indonezyjskim rynkiem kakao, sugerując istnienie wzajemnej relacji między nimi. Jednak w całym badaniu odnotowywano nieefektywną transmisję korekt cen kakao w Indonezji. Waluta amerykańska stale wpływała na indonezyjskie ceny kakao, podczas gdy rynki kakao były niezależne od wahań światowych cen ropy naftowej. Generalnie w badaniu odnotowano różny poziom szybkości dostosowywania się krótkookresowych nierównowag do długookresowej równowagi na krajowym rynku kakao w czasie kryzysów gospodarczych

    Kajian ini merupakan kajian tinjauan mengenai persepsi masyarakat bandar dan luar bandar terhadap motif dan rekacorak pada langsir. Kajian ini meliputi pandangan serta pendapat masyarakat berkaitan dengan pengguna motif dan rekacorak fauna pada langsir. Pandangan yang diutarakan mengambil kira semua aspek seperti pengaruh sosial dan budaya, keagamaan, ekonomi, pendidikan dan sebagainya. Dalam melakukan kajian ini, kacdah penyelidikkan perpustakaan, internet, temuramah dan borang soal selidik digunakan untuk memperolehi data daripada sampel kajian. Lokasi kajian pengkaji adalah di sekitar kawasan Negeri Kelantan Darul Naim yang melibatkan penduduk bandar iaitu di bandar Kota Bharu, manakala kawasan luar bandar melibatkan penduduk di Perkampungan Kelaweh iaitu salah satu kampung yang terdapat di dalam daerah Machang. Hasil dari kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa masyarakat masa kini menerima penggunaan motif fauna pada langsir. Walau bagaimanapun, penerimaan motif dan reka corak tersebut tidak diterima dalam bentuk imej-imej haiwan yang sebenar sebaliknya penerimaan motif dan reka corak ini adalah dalam bentuk abstrak, motif dan reka corak yang dipermudahkan seperti motif kartun dan gabungan motif dan rekacorak fauna dengan motif-motif lain seperti tumbuh-tumbuhan, bunga-bungaan dan garisan

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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 link
    We 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 text
    We 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
