‘YELLOW SYNDROME’ IN SCLERACTINIAN CORALS THROUGHOUT BINTAN DISTRICT, KEPULAUAN RIAU PROVINCE, INDONESIA
Get PDFCoral disease surveys were conducted in Bintan, Kepulauan Riau Province. The purpose was to identify the abundance of corals showing signs of Yellow Syndrome (YS) disease and to describe similar pathological signs to that of AYBD throughout Bintan District. Three belt transects (2 m x 50 m in size) were set up to determine the abundance of coral reef attacked by YS disease. Line intercept transects were used to determine the percentage of live corals in the surveyed areas. The survey showed that the YS disease syndrome attacked 8 different genera i.e. Acropora, Montipora, Porites, Pavona, Turbinaria, Favia, Platygyra, and Favites. The highest attack happened at Mapur Island (0.06 kol/m2) on Porites lutea, Turbinaria peltata, T. mesenterina, Acropora bruggemanni, and Pavona frondifera. The survey also indicated that there may have been at least two types of YS i.e. the first type caused by a boring and/or over-growing sponge species and the second type caused by a kind of pathogenic microbe. Regardless the causal agent of YS, the severity of YS attack on coral urged immediate action to be undertaken and should include initial microscopic and histology examinations. Based on this initial microscopic and histology examinations it was found out that YS bears a close resemblance to the Arabian Yellow Band Disease. This study, however, argued that the word “disease” may have been incorrectly used without identifying a specific causal agent.</jats:p
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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 PDFWe 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 textWe 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
A Comparative Study of French, British, Dutch, and Russian External Supervisory Agencies of Investigators and Prosecutors within Integrated Criminal-Justice-System
Get PDFCriminal justice system consists of sub-systems that carry out different tasks and authorities. However, they have the same purpose to implement legal provisions against crimes. The sub-systems cover police, prosecutor, court, and correctional institution. However, in practice, especially in Indonesia, the relation of these sub-systems is not harmonious. It causes legal certainty becoming hard to achieve. One of the solutions is the establishment of supervisory institutions. Nevertheless, in Indonesia, the function of supervisory institution is still unbalanced. Police investigators and prosecutors are stationed at different institutions. The National Police Commission (Kompolnas –Komisi Kepolisian Nasional) and the Prosecutorial Commission (Komjak –Komisi Kejaksaan) are formed by Presidential Regulation, while the Judicial Commission as the Court supervisory institution is formed by the law. A comparison of France, The Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Russian reveals the fact that Police and Prosecutor are under the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Justice. Therefore, the coordination between investigators and prosecutors can be harmonious under one coordination. This study employed a comparison method to observe the supervisory institutions to minimize the practice of judicial corruption in the sub-system. There are two opportunities. The first is to strengthen the main tasks and authorities of Kompolnas and Komjak by changing the existed legislation or establishing new supervisory institution that covering all supervisory functions in the activities of investigation, prosecution, and examination (by the judge) in one legislation.AbstrakDalam sistem peradilan pidana, terdiri dari sub-sub sistem yang menjalan tugas dan kewenangan yang berbeda, namun memiliki tujuan yang sama, yaitu melaksanakan ketentuan perundang-undangan untuk menanggulangi kejahatan. Sub system tersebut, diantaranya Kepolisian, Kejaksaan, Kehakiman dan Lembaga Pemasyarakatan. Namun praktik di Indonesia, bekerjanya sub-sub system tersebut tidak harmonis, sehingga kepastian hukum menjadi sesuatu yang langka. Salah satu faktor bekerja sub-sub system tersebut adalah adanya lembaga pengawasan, namun di Indonesia, lembaga pengawasan tersebut masih timpang. Penyidik polisi dan jaksa penuntut berada pada lembaga pengawasan yang berbeda, yaitu oleh Komisi Kepolisian Nasional (Kompolnas) dan Komisi Kejaksaan (Komjak) yang dibentuk dengan sebuah Peraturan Presiden, sedangkan untuk pengadilan diawasi oleh Komisi Yudisial yang dibentuk dengan Undang-Undang. Perbandingan yang didapat dari negara Perancis, Belanda, Inggris dan Rusia didapat fakta, bahwa Kepolisian dan Kejaksaan berada dibawah Menteri Dalam Negeri dan Kehakiman, sehingga koordinasi antara penyidik dan penuntut dapat harmonis karena berada dibawah satu koordinasi. Metode yang digunakan adalah melakukan perbandingan pada konteks lembaga pengawas dalam sub system peradilan pidana terpadu untuk meminimalisir praktik judicial corruption. Terdapat dua peluang, yaitu memperkuat tugas pokok dan kewenangan Kompolnas dan Komjak di perubahan perundang-undangan atau membentuk lembaga pengawasan baru dengan sebuah Undang-Undang dengan menggabungkan menjadi satu lembaga fungsi pengawasan pada kegiatan penyidikan, penuntutan dan pemeriksaan di pengadilan (oleh hakim).DOI: https://doi.org/10.22304/pjih.v5n3.a7
