    This study aims to describe the function of commissive illocutionary speech acts. Determining this topic was based on a preliminary study conducted on 49 students at Surabaya State University, most of whom did not understand commissive illocutionary. The source of data is obtained from Anime Ajin by Gamon Sakurai, particularly the sentences containing commissive illocutionary utterances. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method. Then the main theory used is Ibrahim (1993:34-34). Based on the results, it found 6 functions of commissive illocutionary speech acts in the 41 data, namely 21 data of the promising function, 1 data of the swearing function, 10 data of the proposing function, 4 data of the offering function, 4 data of the bargaining function, and 1 data of the function declare voluntarily. The promising function is marked with å¿…ãšã€ã™ãã€ç´„æŸã™ã‚‹ã€ã¦ã‚„ã‚‹ã€swearing function is marked with 誓ã†ã€proposing function is marked with ã»ã†ãŒã„ã„ã€ã©ã†ã§ã™ã‹ã€offering function is marked with ã¾ã›ã‚“ã‹ã€ã‚ˆã‹ã£ãŸã‚‰ã€f bargaining function is marked with ギブアンドテイクã€ä»£ã‚りã«, and voluntary function is marked with ã¦ã‚‚ã„ã„. Of the six functions, the promising function is the most dominant. This is due to the background of the film, which tells of the escape and hunting of Ajin, so each character often issues promises of action in the future

    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

    The service delivery that provided by the Papar District Office give influence towards the customer satisfaction. The efficiency of service delivery at any local authorities or government agencies, will provide higher satisfaction towards the services that delivered to the customer. The study explores the customer satisfaction towards the Papar District Office. Moreover, the study also examines the service delivery that provided by the Paper District Office in terms of efficiency. A random sample of 100 respondents was targeted as the study's sample through the distribution of a questionnaire survey. The questionnaire survey were provided with two sections of questions which is open-ended questions, which is the respondent's personal background or also known as their demography; and close-ended questions, which is the respondent's personal view towards the services that delivered to them. The findings show that the most of the respondents satisfied with the quality of service that provided by the Papar District Office. In terms of the relationship between the elements of services that delivered by District Office and customer satisfaction shows that timeliness is the highest compared to other elements of services that delivered by the Papar District Office. However, the findings didn't represent the paper citizen as a whole due to the number of respondents are only based on 100 people only. Thus, the result of the study is only based on personal satisfaction with the service delivered by the Papar District Office

    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

    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
