    Does financial development reduce CO2 emissions in Malaysian economy? / Irdina Adrin

    In the country of Malaysia, this study deals with the question whether financial development reduces C02 emissions or not in case of Malaysia. The limits testing technique to cointegration between variables is used for this purpose. We show that C02 emissions, financial development, economic growth, foreign direct investment, and trade all have strong long-term correlations. Financial development also appears to lower C02 emissions, according to the findings. C02 emissions are exacerbated by increased energy usage and economic growth. The latest research paper found with similar executions results that the Granger causality analysis demonstrates the feedback hypothesis between financial development and C02 emissions, as well as between C02 emissions and economic growth was in 2013. There is no similar research paper that is more updated to this current year, however in 2020, there is a paper that conducted similarly which examines the impacts of financial development on sectoral carbon emissions (C02) for environmental quality in Malaysia. Conclude that in general, financial development increases C02 emissions and reduces environmental quality in Malaysia. The dependant variable for this research study is C02 Emissions while the independent variables are financial development, economic growth, foreign direct investment, and trade. This study will be from the year 1971 to this recent year of 2020. The variables examined in this study (Financial Development, Economic Growth, Foreign Direct Investment and Trade) showed a similar linkage on the C02 Emissions that has been explored in previous research. However, there is only one independent variable that has a significant impact on the C02 Emissions, and that is the Financial Development, which has a positive relationship. Others, such as Economic Growth and Foreign Direct Investment, have a negative and insignificant influence on the C02 Emissions, whereas Trade has a positive and insignificant impac

    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

    Program Studi Ilmu Keperawatan Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Diponegoro Semarang Januari 2008 ABSTRAK Adrin Afriyanti Peran Keluarga dalam Pemberian Nutrisi pada Balita di Puskesmas Pasayangan Martapura Kalimantan Selatan xii + 52 halaman + 1 gambar + 26 lampiran Peranan keluarga menggambarkan seperangkat perilaku interpersonal, sifat, kegiatan yang berhubungan dengan individu dalam posisi dan situasi tertentu. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan etnografi yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran keluarga dalam pemberian nutrisi pada balita. Teknik pengumpulan data dengan wawancara mendalam dengan sampel pada keluarga inti (bapak, ibu, anak) yang di wawancara bapak atau ibu yang memiliki anak balita berjumlah 5 orang. Penelitian menunjukkan peran orang tua terhadap pemenuhan nutrisi beragam, namun mereka hanya mementingkan dari segi keuangan, makanan, kesehatan. Aspek penting yang lain hanya sebagai pendukung. Orang tua menyadari betapa pentingnya nutrisi namun secara perilaku mereka kurang begitu peduli terhadap nutrisi yang cocok dikonsumsi oleh balita. Faktor yang menghambat seperti keuangan serta ketelatenan dari orang tua. Hasil penelitian perlu ditindak lanjuti untuk mengetahui apa kebiasaan masyarakat masih saja melekat serta tingat kepedulian orang tua seberapa besar terhadap pemenuhan nutrsi balita, jika terjdi perubahan maka seberapa besar perubahan itu terjadi.

    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
