    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

    According to the Central Statistics Agency of Palembang City, the proportion of households and offices using PAM and bottled drinking water in 2016-2018 is 94.32%. This has led to the implementation of gallon water marketing agents, namely refill drinking water depots. One of the activities carried out by workers to deliver gallons is to take gallons through the stairs. In these activities, workers experience heavy workloads and complaints in body parts that cause worker productivity to gallons are not optimal, therefore it is necessary to do research to design tools to facilitate activities that reduce workloads and complaints on the workers' bodies, and are able to increase the number of gallons that workers can deliver. Based on research using the EFD method, a trolley with a length of 43 cm, a width of 41.55 cm and a height of 93.25 cm was designed with gallon safety features and a tricycle for driving media when passing stairs. Complaints on workers' body parts decreased by an average of 53.5%, workers' DNI decreased by 28.81%, workers' DNK decreased by 33.24%, workers' NK decreased by 36.61% and the average energy consumption of workers decreased 64.42% which is 92.40639707 Kcal/hour. With gallon delivery productivity increased by 67.54%. The cost incurred to make the tool is Rp. 1,206,150,-. Keywords: Trolley, Tool Design, Workload, EF

    At UKM Tahu Johan is an UKM that produces tofu which consists of tofu, Jambi and tofu. The problem with SMEs is that there is frequent damage/defective products in the production process to the hands of consumers, so it is necessary to analyze the factors that cause defective products and formulate solutions to minimize defective products. The results of the factors that influence the causes of defective products, namely humans, raw materials, machines and equipment, environment and methods, with the formulation of the solution, namely making tofu packaging without being stacked, namely by making tofu packaging arranged per piece, giving regularly. training discusses work orders for employees so that employees are responsible for carrying out these procedures, provide exact sizes or measurements according to the UKM SOP (i.e. 1 ounce of yeast, 0.5 kg of flour and 1 liter of water) and meet standards in each production process, so you know produced according to standards and meet specifications so as to reduce defective products, provide good equipment facilities and make maintenance schedules for each equipment so that it is maintained and can be used optimally so as not to interfere with the production process. Key words: factors, defective products, quality

    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

    Get PDF
    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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

    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

    Menurut Badan Pusat Statistik Kota Palembang dengan persentase rumah tangga dan perkantoran yang menggunakan air minum PAM dan kemasan pada tahun 2016-2018 yaitu 94,32%. Hal tersebut menyebabkan meningkatnya agen pemasaran air galon yaitu depot air minum isi ulang. Salah satu aktivitas yang dilakukan pekerja untuk mengantar galon yaitu mengantar galon melewati anak tangga. Dalam aktivitas tersebut, pekerja mengalami beban kerja berat dan  keluhan dibagian tubuh yang menyebabkan produktivitas pekerja terhadap pengangkatan galon tidak maksimal, oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan penelitian untuk merancangan alat untuk mempermudah aktivitas yang mengurangi beban kerja dan keluhan pada tubuh pekerja, dan mampu meningkatkan jumlah galon yang mampu diantar oleh pekerja. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dengan menggunakan metode EFD dirancang troli dengan panjang 43 cm, lebar 41,55 cm dan tinggi 93,25 cm dengan dilengkapi fitur box pengaman galon dan roda tiga untuk media penggerak saat melewati anak tangga. Keluhan pada bagian tubuh pekerja mengalami penurunan rata-rata 53,5%, DNI pekerja mengalami penurunan 28,81%, DNK pekerja mengalami penurunan 33,24%, NK pekerja mengalami penurunan 36,61% dan rata-rata konsumsi energi pekerja mengalami penuruan 64,42% yaitu sebesar 92,40639707 Kkal/jam. Dengan produktivitas jumlah pengantaran galon meningkat 67,54%. Biaya yang dikeluarkan untuk membuat alat sebesar Rp 1.206.150,-
