    This project is an attempt to study the behaviour of partially prestressed concrete rectangular wafïle slabs of different sizes and number of waffles. With the aid of a computer program available in CADEM Centre at Institut Teknologi Mara (ITM) , in particuiar ANalysis SYStem ( ANSYS ) Version 5,0 , developed from finite element methods, the analysis can be done with respect to the purpose of this study. Three specimens of partially prestressed rectangular waffle slab are modelled and analysed using the software. The specimens namely WR 01 , WR 02 and WR 03 are similar in the overall size but with different size , and number of waffles and ribs within them. The output will be compared to the results that had been obtained from previous laboratory testing . Results are examined in terms of load - deflection, stress – strain relationships and expected crack propagation

    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

    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

    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

    PENGARUH LABELISASI HALAL, PENGETAHUAN KONSUMEN, GAYA HIDUP DAN CITRA MEREK TERHADAP KEPUTUSAN PEMBELIAN AIR MINUM DALAM KEMASAN MEREK AQUA (Studi di Fakultas Ekonomi dan Bisnis Islam IAIN Tulungagung)

    ABSTRAK Skripsi dengan judul “Pengaruh Labelisasi Halal, Pengetahuan Konsumen, Gaya Hidup Dan Citra Merek Terhadap Keputusan Pembelian Air Minum Dalam Kemasan Merek Aqua (Studi di Fakultas Ekonomi dan Bisnis Islam IAIN Tulungagung)” ini ditulis oleh Ahmad Arifin, 17402153590, Fakultas Ekonomi dan Bisnis Islam, Jurusan Ekonomi Syariah, Institut Agama Islam Negeri Tulungagung, Pembimbing Dr. Hj. Nur Aini Latifah, SE., M.M Penelitian dalam skripsi ini dilatarbelakangi oleh adanya labelissi halal, gaya hidup, pengetahuan dan citra merk mempunyai arti sangat penting dalam keputusan pembelian. Apabila labelissi halal, gaya hidup, pengetahuan dan citra merk dapat mempengaruhi keputusan konsumen dalam membeli AMDK merek AQUA maka konsumen cenderung melakukan pembelian ulang, begitu juga sebaliknya. Rumusan masalah dari penelitian ini adalah: 1) Apakah labelisasi halal pengaruh secara parsial terhadap keputusan pembelian air minum dalam kemasan merek Aqua di IAIN Tulungagung?, 2) Apakah pengetahuan konsumen pengaruh secara parsial terhadap keputusan pembelian air minum dalam kemasan merek Aqua di IAIN Tulungagung?, 3) Apakah gaya hidup pengaruh secara parsial terhadap keputusan pembelian air minum dalam kemasan merek Aqua di IAIN Tulungagung?, 4) Apakah citra merek pengaruh secara parsial terhadap keputusan pembelian air minum dalam kemasan merek Aqua di IAIN Tulungagung?, 5) Apakah labelisasi halal, pengetahuan konsumen, gaya hidup dan citra merek berpengaruh secara simultan terhadap keputusan pembelian air minum dalam kemasan merek Aqua di IAIN Tulungagung?. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan jenis penelitian asosiatif. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa IAIN Tulungagung yang mengkonsumsi air minum dalam kemasan merk Aqua sejumlah 100 orang. Objek dalam penelitian ini adalah labelisasi halal, pengetahuan konsumen, citra merek dan keputusan pembelian air minum dalam kemasan merk aqua. Pada penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis uji normalitas data, uji asumsi klasik yang terdiri dari uji multikolinieritas, uji heteroskedasitas, dan uji autokorelasi, kemudian uji regresi linier berganda, uji hipotesis dan koefisien determinasi. Hasil penelitian dengan alat bantu SPSS versi 23.0 menggunakan analisis regresi linier berganda dapat disimpulkan bahwa, 1) Variabel labelisasi halal berpengaruh secara parsial terhadap keputusan pembelian air minum dalam kemasan merek Aqua di IAIN Tulungagung, 2) Variabel pengetahuan konsumen berpengaruh secara parsial terhadap keputusan pembelian air minum dalam kemasan merek Aqua di IAIN Tulungagung, 3) Variabel gaya hidup berpengaruh secara parsial terhadap keputusan pembelian air minum dalam kemasan merek Aqua di IAIN Tulungagung, 4) Variabel citra merek berpengaruh secara parsial terhadap keputusan pembelian air minum dalam kemasan merek Aqua di IAIN Tulungagung, 5) Variabel labelisasi halal, pengetahuan konsumen, gaya hidup dan citra merek berpengaruh secara simultan terhadap keputusan pembelian air minum dalam kemasan merek Aqua di IAIN Tulungagung.

    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
