Irrigation Management from Good Governance Perspective in Wegil Village, Pati Regency
No full textThis study examines the role of the village government in managing water resources for irrigating rice fields in Wegil Village, Pati Regency. Before each planting season, villages hold consultations to determine an irrigation management committee for rice fields, a process facilitated by the village government with the active participation of farmers. This governance approach is analyzed using the framework of Good Governance to explore the relationship between the village government, farmers, and market interests. A qualitative case study method was used, with in-depth interviews conducted with key informants, including village government officials, members of the irrigation committee (P3A), and local farmers. The study presents several key findings. First, irrigation management in Wegil Village operates through a discussion-based political mechanism. Second, Good Governance serves as a collaborative space for various actors in irrigation management and agricultural marketing. Finally, the village government plays a central role in ensuring synergy between the village government, P3A, farmers, and market interests
Decision-Making by Individuals in Conflict of Interest: A Case Study of a Civil Servant who Doubles as the Owner of a Private Sectors in Yogyakarta
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze the conflict of interest experienced by individual employees of government agencies in the Special Region of Yogyakarta who are active in private art institutions. The theoretical framework used in the research includes the concept of conflict of interest and decision-making theory. The research method used is an interpretative phenomenological approach that focuses on describing and interpreting the direct subjective experiences of individuals related to the phenomenon of conflict of interest. Data were obtained through direct interviews with the interviewees, who are former civil servants in a Yogyakarta government agency and owners of private cultural studios. The results show that the Special Fund allocated has had a significant impact on the development of arts and culture in Yogyakarta, but has also resulted in conflict of interest issues among individuals who play multiple roles. The conclusions of the study highlight the importance of clear legal regulations related to conflict of interest as well as the need for a deeper understanding of ethics and public duty for individuals who play a role in both sectors
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
