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
Analysis Of Accounting Information Systems For Price Changes At Indomaret In Sungai Selayur Village, Kalidoni Palembang
Full text linkThe aims of this research is to find out how to apply accounting information system analysis to price changes in Indomaret, Sungai Selayur Kalidoni Village, Palembang. This is caused by sudden price changes, inappropriate discounts, and differences between the cashier's price and the price tag. By using qualitative methods, namely descriptive analysis which is based on depictions that support the analysis.The results of this research show that price changes using a computer-based accounting information system have run well and smoothly. Price changes are a normal thing that happens in the market and in companies, especially at Indomaret. Because this company itself also adjusts prices on the market. If the market price goes up/down, Indomaret also adjusts the price. The ongoing price change process is also carried out using an online system, all cashier computers are connected to the head office computer and automatically know the transactions that come in every day
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
Sensory, nutritional, and functional characteristics of plant-based milks for lactose-intolerant individuals
Full text linkPlant-based milk has emerged as a prominent alternative for individuals with lactose intolerance who cannot consume cow's milk. The high prevalence of lactose intolerance, particularly in Asian populations, has driven innovation in plant-based functional foods that are more compatible with the digestive system. This literature review examines the potential of plant-based milk as a functional alternative, focusing on its nutritional composition, bioactive compounds, health benefits, and associated technological challenges. The analysis indicates that plant-based milks derived from soybeans, almonds, oats, rice, and coconut contain vegetable protein, fiber, and bioactive compounds such as isoflavones, polyphenols, and beta-glucans, which confer antioxidant, cholesterol-lowering, and metabolic regulatory properties. However, plant-based milks typically exhibit lower protein, calcium, and certain vitamin levels compared to bovine milk, necessitating fortification and technological innovation to enhance their nutritional profile. Given their lactose-free nature, low saturated fat content, and abundance of functional compounds, plant-based milks hold considerable promise as functional food solutions for individuals with lactose intolerance

Perkembangan agama tauhid di dalam sejarah
Full text linkAgama telah muncul di tengah masyarakat sejak awal sejarah umat manusia. Rasanya sulit bagi kita untuk menemukan masyarakat di masa lalu yang tidak mengenal agama. Seorang penulis, misalnya menyimpulkan bahwa “Tidak ada satu pun kebudayaan yang tercatat dalam sejarah manusia yang tidak menganut suatu bentuk agama tertentu” (Mark, 2018).
Walaupun manusia sejak era kuno telah mempraktikan agama, seolah pada awalnya mereka hanya mempercayai tuhan yang banyak (politeisme). Jejak-jejak politeisme ini dapat dilihat secara jelas dengan adanya peninggalan berupa patung dan relief yang dianggap mewakili tuhan-tuhan oleh peradaban-peradaban kuno
