POLITENESS STRATEGIES IN AMERICAN TELEVISION SERIES HANNAH MONTANA
No full textThe politeness strategies used by the speaker vary in some ways. The example
above is taken from Hannah Montana: Season 1. The dialogue is conducted among
Robby, the father and his son, Jackson. In this occasion, Jackson actually hopes his father to loan him money for dating. Jackson uses certain strategy of politeness to
share his idea to his father. It is seen that Jackson says some pre-utterances before he
goes to the point that he wants to loan some money from his father. The way Jackson
utters his request to his father is considered as a strategy. The strategy used by
Jackson may be caused by some factors such as close relativity and the feeling of
worry that his request will be refused by his father. Jackson, as the speaker, uses
different strategy when he speaks to another hearer in different condition. The
example below shows another strategy used by Jackson when he speaks to Miley, his
little sister:
(2) Jackson: I need two incredible tickets for tomorrow night.
Miley : Sorry, I’m sold out.
Those two examples above can be regarded as the reflection that a speaker
uses different strategy in speaking to different hearer. The different strategy used by
the speaker may be affected by some contextual factors. Thus, what the politeness
strategies used among the characters in Hannah Montana are and the contextual
factors influence them in choosing those strategies are very interesting to analyze.

Montana is a famous teenager American serial television which firstly published in
2005. The characters in this television series are dominated by teenagers. This is
possible to influence the characters to use various politeness strategies in
communicating
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
Penyadapan Tanaman Karet (Hevea brasiliensis Mull-Arg.) di Perkebunan Karet Gurach Batu Estate, Asahan, Sumatera Utara
Full text linkKegiatan penelitian dilaksanakan di Divisi IV Gurach Batu Estate PT Bakrie Sumatera Plantation Tbk Asahan, Sumatera Utara sejak Februari 2016 sampai Juni 2016. Tujuan pelaksanaan penelitian adalah mempelajari dan melakukan kegiatan penyadapan karet untuk meningkatkan keterampilan teknis dan manajerial secara langsung di lapangan. Penyadapan adalah kegiatan utama pada perkebunan karet, maka harus dilakukan dengan manajemen yang baik. Penyadapan di GBE masih belum sesuai dengan standar perusahaan namun masih dalam rentang yang dapat ditoleransi. Rata-rata ketebalan pemakaian kulit sadap ada frekuensi sadap d/4 dan d/3 adalah 1.3 mm dan 1.6 mm. Rata–rata kedalaman irisan sadap pada sadapan d/4 adalah 2.5 mm dan pada sadapan d/3 0.9 mm. Produksi latek yang didapatkan oleh penyadap kelas A lebih banyak dibanding kelas B, dan pemakaian kulit oleh kelas A lebih sedikit dibanding kelas B. Kecepatan menyadap kelas A dan kelas B tidak berbeda nyata yaitu sekitar 16.17 detik pohon-1 dan 17.97 detik pohon-1. Aplikasi zat stimulan yang dilakukan di Divisi IV GBE telah sesuai dengan aturan dan standar perusahaan. Persentase serangan KAS pada klon RRIM 921, PB 260 dan IRR 118 adalah 6.6%, 7.5%, dan 5.75%. Sebaiknya dilakukan penanganan yang lebih serius terhadap serangan KAS di GBE karena tingkat serangan tergolong tinggi. Pengawasan sadapan pada panel B sebaiknya lebih diperhatikan.
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
