The youth tourist satisfaction of domestic tourism product and electronic word-of-mouth promotion / Samsiariah Aliyas
No full textThe focus of this study was to gain a better understanding of the requirements of youth user in Malaysia, the levels of satisfaction associated with the domestic tourism product, the dissemination behaviour by using electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM) and the mediating effect of satisfaction on the tourism product and e-WOM. Quantitative study method was undertaken to examine the level of satisfaction for domestic tourism products among youth traveller in the country and the e-WOM promotion. A purposive sample of youth tourist, age between 15 to 30 who has experience of using the domestic tourism product was selected. Data that was collected via self-completed questionnaire was tested and analysed by using the descriptive and inferential statistics. The result indicates that in association with the dimensions of tourism product, comprising; accommodation facility, transportation and attraction area, the youth tourist are satisfied with the domestic tourism product available for their usage. In addition, mediating effects of satisfaction is partially mediate the relationship between tourism product and e-WOM. The findings should provide valuable information and insights on the current trend of youth tourism in the country and thus strengthening the current literatures available for this area of study. Practical implications are drawn for the development and marketing of domestic tourism products for the youth market
Kebebasan pergaulan remaja kilang masa kini: Satu kajian di kawasan perindustrian (Free Trade Zone) Sungai Way, Selangor / Aliyas Ahmat
Full text linkLatihan ilmiah ini memuatkan beberapa hal mengenai masalah pergaulan remaja kilang. Pengkajian bertujuan mencari apakah faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi perlakuan itu. Fokus utama adalah dilihat kelonggaran ikatan sosial berperanan melihat dalam menentukan sikap dan tingkah laku remaja ke arah pergaulan bebas dan juga akibat pengaruh perhubungan. Untuk tujuan ini, pengkajian dijalankan ke atas remaja kilang di kawasan perindustrian Sungai Way, Selangor dalam kebebasan pergaulan mereka memandangkan ia berpunca dari kawasan peindustrian yang terbesar ini. Dalam bab I, pengkaji akan menghuraikan penegnalan secara kajian secara ringkas. Bab II pula diberi beberapa penerangan konsep dan definasi yang berkaitan pergaulan yang bersifat ‘deliquency’. Ini bertujuan untuk menjamin agar ianya tidak lari dari tujuan asal kajian ini. Dalam bab ini juga telah dihuraikan teori-teori yang sesuai terutamanya oleh Travis Hirschi yang mementingkan konsep ikatan sosial yang menjadi garis panduan pengkaji dalam menentukan perlakuan remaja. Seterusnya dalam bab III, pengkaji akan mengemukakan faktor-faktor dan analisa dari kajian ini. Pengkaji telah mengaitkannya dengan elemen-elemen ikatan sosial dan mendapati memang wujud toleransi antara perlakuan deliquency pergaulan dengan kelonggaran ikatan sosial walaupun tidak sepenuhnya. Di peringkat ini, remaja masih tergak-agak untuk melibatkan diri dalam perlakuan itu tetapi dengan terdapat faktor-faktor lain mendorong terjerumus dalam lembah kebebasan pergaulan. Dalam bab IV, remaja telah pun melibatkan diri dan pengkaji akan melihat kebebasan remaja dalam pergaulannya di samping akibatnya yang dikesan. Dalm bab V, pengkaji merumuskan segala maklumat yang telah diperoleh semasa kajian dengan mengaitkan dengan teori kawalan memandangkan Teori Hirschi memang sesuai di samping sedikit cara mengatasi masalah pergaulan ini
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
