Koleksyen Cherita Bala Nembiak Ari Kampung Sampun Gerunggang : STORIES COLLECTION FROM CHILDREN OF KAMPUNG SAMPUN GERUNGGANG
Get PDFThe present generation tends to gravitate towards spending their time on electronic devices, engaging in activities such as browsing social media or playing games, regardless of whether they reside in rural or urban areas. Children who cultivate a habit of reading not only enhance their communication and language skills but also play a pivotal role in mitigating the illiteracy rate among Malaysian
children. Access to learning resources and experiences should be extended to all, including those in rural areas
Voices of Pupils on Educational Programme Under Corporate Social Responsibility Initiatives in Malaysia
No full textThis study examined Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) educational programmes in elementary schools. The case study examines the Adopt-A-School (AASC) programme, a CSR educational programme that is organised throughout Malaysia. Most extant studies have focused on teachers, school and corporate views but rarely on children. Therefore, this study aimed to explore pupils’ perceptions of CSR educational programmes in rural schools under the CSR initiative. The study employed a qualitative research case study design. Purposive sampling was conducted involving six Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) among 12-year-old pupils. Each FGD contained six to eight pupils. A total of 43 pupils from three different schools in the northern region of
Malaysia were involved in the FGDs. Thematic analysis was then used to consider the excitement of CSR educational programmes, the benefits of CSR educational programmes and pupils’ preferred type of CSR educational programme in school. From the results, pupils’ perceptions of CSR educational programmes were divided into three: emotional well-being, cognitive ability and motor coordination. The engagement of the corporate sector in pupils’ education was also discussed to improve CSR educational programmes in future. The pupils agreed that while formal learning is important, a balance should be struck between study and play. Pupils requested that a CSR educational programme is conducted in school more often to make learning and
attending school amusing. In conclusion, the pupils preferred to engage with more physical programmes in school but also acknowledged the importance of academic study as educational programmes bring them fun, friends, knowledge, experience and skills
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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 PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
Social Work Student's Engagement to Execute the Sustainable Development Goal Missions through Social Work Education and Social Work Practice
Get PDFSustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the comprehensive 2030 agenda established by the United Nations with the aim of fostering sustainable development for the betterment of humanity and the preservation of our planet; objectives are geared towards promoting peace, prosperity, and sustainability for present and future generations (United Nations, 2015).
