    Cover Crops and Frond Piles for Improving Soil Water Infiltration in Oil Palm Plantations

    No full text
    Oil palm plantations may cause problems in the hydrological cycle due to a low soil water infiltration capacity. In this study, we (a) compared oil palm plantations with other land use types, and (b) within oil palm plantations, analyzed whether legume cover crops and the deposition of frond piles can change soil water infiltration. The study was conducted in the lowlands of Sumatra in mixed jungle rubber stands, and in monospecific rubber and oil palm plantations by using ring in filtrometers. Observed in filtration rates in jungle rubber and monospecific rubber stands (approximately 20 cm h−1) were about 5 times higher than in oil palm plantations, underlining the problem. Within the oil palm cultivation system, a legume cover crop, as well as the deposition of palm fronds, significantly enhanced infiltration rates. We conclude that indeed low soil water infiltration is very low in conventional oil palm plantations. Management including the planting of cover crops and deposition of fronds may offer options for improving the situation

    abstrak (A) Nama: Rio Agusta Bonang (NIM: 205000189). (B) Judul Skripsi: Upaya Hukum Gugatan Ganti Rugi Dari Terdakwa yang Pernah Ditahan Dan Dilepas Dari Segala Tuntutan Hukum. (C) Halaman: ix + 126 + Lampiran. (D) Kata Kunci: Gugatan ganti rugi kepada terdakwa yang pernah ditahan dan dilepas dari segala tuntutan hukum. (E) Isi: Bagaimanakah upaya gugatan ganti rugi terhadap terdakwa yang pernah ditahan dan kemudian dilepaskan dari segala tuntutan hukum? Sedangkan diatur dalam Pasal 95 KUHAP, menyatakan :?Tersangka, terdakwa atau terpidana berhak menuntut ganti kerugian karena ditangkap, ditahan, dituntut atau dikenakan tindakan lain, tanpa alasan yang berdasarkan undang-undang atau karena kekeliruan mengenai orangnya atau hukum yang diterapkan?. Penulis meneliti masalah tersebut dengan menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dan empiris. Data penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa terdakwa dalam masa pemeriksaan perkara telah ditahan yang menyebabkan kerugian baik materiil maupun imateriil. Upaya gugatan ganti rugi yang dialami oleh terdakwa adalah gugatan hukum secara perdata mengenai masalah perbuatan melawan hukum, yang diatur dalam Pasal 1365 KUHPerdata. Untuk mengajukan gugatan ganti rugi dari terdakwa yang pernah ditahan dan dilepaskan dari segala tuntutan hukum tidak dapat dilakukan melalui pra peradilan melainkan harus dilakukan dengan mengajukan gugatan ganti rugi secara perdata kepada saksi pelapor dengan aspek perbuatan melawan hukum yang diatur dalam Pasal 1365 KUHPerdata. Gugatan ganti rugi baik materiil maupun imateriil karena perbuatan melawan hukum dapat diajukan oleh Teddy Tjandra kepada saksi pelapor (Cecep Hari Rahmat dan Ny. Ida Sudaity Mintarsih) sebagai Tergugat I dan II karena telah membuat Teddy Tjandra mengalami penahanan selama pemeriksaan berkas perkara dan kepada pihak penyidik sebagai Tergugat III serta Kejaksaan Negeri Jakarta Timur sebagai Turut Tergugat. Gugatan ganti rugi dapat ditujukan kepada berbagai pihak dengan alasan perbuatan tersebut membawa akibat kerugian, namun harus dicantumkan identitas yang jelas dari para Tergugat agar tidak mengakibatkan fitnah dan pencemaran nama baik.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    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

    Get PDF
    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

    The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function

    No full text
    This thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author

    Contribution of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Country’S H-Index

    The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) development on country’s scientific ranking as measured by H-index. Moreover, this study applies ICT development sub-indices including ICT Use, ICT Access and ICT skill to find the distinct effect of these sub-indices on country’s H-index. To this purpose, required data for the panel of 14 Middle East countries over the period 1995 to 2009 is collected. Findings of the current study show that ICT development increases the H-index of the sample countries. The results also indicate that ICT Use and ICT Skill sub-indices positively contribute to higher H-index but the effect of ICT access on country’s H-index is not clear
