    Narafashion konveksi merupakan perusahaan konveksi yang berfokus pada desain busana terkemuka. Narafashion konveksi merupakan anak perusahaan dari CV Navara Dawai Semesta dan berdiri sejak tahun 2016. Narafashion Konveksi memiliki total 7 pekerja yang bekerja pada bagian produksi mulai dari menggambar pola hingga proses packing. Pada kondisi aktual, pekerja masih melakukan gerakan berulang dengan postur tubuh tidak ergonomis dalam menjalankan proses produksi. Selain itu, kenyamanan para pekerja dalam melakukan proses produksi masih kurang diperhatikan karena fasilitas kerja yang digunakan kurang nyaman dan tidak adanya fasilitas kerja seperti meja dan kursi pada beberapa workstation sehingga menyebabkan keluhan sakit pada anggota tubuh pekerja dan menyebabkan potensi terjadinya Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). Hal tersebut didukung dengan hasil kuesioner Nordic Body Map (NBM) yang diketahui bahwa 5 dari 6 workstation memiliki tingkat risiko cedera medium hingga high, yaitu tingkat risiko low untuk workstation pemotongan pola dengan skor 49, tingkat risiko medium untuk workstation penjahitan dengan skor 67 untuk pekerja 1 dan 70 untuk pekerja 2 dan workstation packing dengan skor 69, serta tingkat risiko high untuk workstation pembuatan pola dengan skor 75, workstation pengobrasan dengan skor 71, dan workstation penyetrikaan produk dengan skor 72. Maka dari itu membutuhkan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk menganalisa postur tubuh pekerja pada setiap workstation sehingga dapat dilakukan tindakan perbaikan. Pada penelitian ini, metode yang digunakan adalah Workplace Ergonomic Risk Assessment (WERA). Metode WERA dipilih untuk mengidentifikasi postur kerja yang menjadi penyebab risiko Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) berdasarkan 6 faktor, yaitu faktor postur, pengulangan, kekuatan, getaran, kontak stress, dan durasi tugas yang melibatkan bagian tubuh leher, bahu, punggung, pergelangan tangan, dan kaki. Selain itu, juga menggunakan pendekatan ekonomi gerakan yang digunakan untuk merancang workstation yang ergonomis bagi pekerja Narafashion Konveksi. Berdasarkan penilaian metode WERA, skor akhir pekerja pembuatan pola sebesar 43 dan memiliki tingkat risiko medium, skor akhir pekerja pemotongan pola sebesar 27 dan memiliki tingkat risiko low, skor akhir pekerja pengobrasan sebesar 42 dan memiliki tingkat risiko medium, skor akhir pekerja 1 penjahitan sebesar 38 dan memiliki tingkat risiko medium, skor akhir pekerja 2 penjahitan sebesar 42 dan memiliki tingkat risiko medium, skor akhir pekerja penyetrikaan produk sebesar 42 dan memiliki tingkat risiko medium, serta skor akhir pekerja packing sebesar 41 dan memiliki tingkat risiko medium. Tingkat risiko low pada metode WERA berarti pekerjaan dapat diterima dan tidak memerlukan tindakan perbaikan. Sedangkan tingkat risiko medium pada metode WERA berarti pekerjaan perlu ditinjau lebih lanjut dan diperlukan perbaikan. Rekomendasi perbaikan yang dilakukan adalah perancangan fasilitas kerja berupa meja kerja dan kursi kerja berdasarkan data antropometri, penataan terhadap area meja kerja sehingga pekerja dapat melakukan pekerjaan dengan urutan terbaik, dan penambahan container box, tempat sampah, serta penggunaan APD berupa pelindung jari untuk pekerja workstation pengobrasan dan penjahitan. Setelah dilakukan rekomendasi perbaikan, hasil identifikasi xviii risiko MSDs menggunakan metode WERA menunjukkan tingkat risiko low pada seluruh workstation sehingga pekerjaan dapat diterim

    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

    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
