Komunikasi Dan Transformasi Kelembagaan: Studi Peran EX UPK PNPM MDP Dalam Transisimenuju Koperasi Desa Merah Putih
No full textThis study examines the institutional transformation of the Program Management Unit (UPK) of the National Rural Community Empowerment Program (PNPM MPd) into the Merah Putih Village Cooperative in Lebong Regency, Bengkulu. Using a qualitative case study approach with 15 key informants consisting of former UPK managers, local government officials, community groups, and academics, this study analyzes strategic communication and institutional transformation mechanisms through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, participant observation, and document analysis. The findings indicate that effective organizational communication plays a critical role in managing the institutional transition. The UPK has substantial social capital, including 15 years of microfinance management experience, a network with 847 community groups, and local policy support. However, there are obstacles such as unclear technical regulations, limited human resources in the village, and resistance to change. A gradual transformation model is considered most feasible, utilizing a participatory communication approach that maintains stakeholder trust. This study concluded that the transformation of the UPK into the Merah Putih Village Cooperative shows high prospects if implemented gradually with an adaptive communication strategy and supported by clear regulations
Design of Lubuklinggau City Policy: A Review of the Establishment of Local Regulations on the Guidance and Development of Micro and Small Industries
No full textThis research examines the policy formulation process for establishing a regional regulation on the guidance and development of micro and small industries in Lubuklinggau City. This initiative was taken by the Lubuklinggau City government in 2024 to address various challenges in industrial development in the city. Using qualitative methods with data collection techniques through focus group discussions, interviews, observations, and documentation studies, this research focuses on the seven initial stages of the policy formulation process. The results show that the Lubuklinggau City government has implemented a comprehensive approach, including Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) in decision making. Findings revealed a change in policy focus to micro and small industries and stakeholder engagement through public consultation. The analysis also revealed plans to establish an industrial center area and develop an integrated information system for the data collection on micro and small industries. The resulting policy design combines aspects of guidance and development, including training programs, mentoring, and strategies for developing industrial infrastructure and resources. Based on these findings, the research recommends further studies that include policy implementation and evaluation stages to understand this policy’s long-term impact and effectiveness in supporting the growth of micro and small industries in Lubuklinggau City

Harga r hitung tersebut kemudian dikonsultasikan dengan harga r tabel. Didapat r tabel sebesar 0,526 dengan n = 25 dan kesalahan 1%. Bila r hitung lebih kecil dari r tabel, maka Ho diterima dan Ha ditolak dan begitu pula sebaliknya. Dari hasil penelitian ternyata r hitung lebih besar (0,635 > 0,526), maka Ha diterima yaitu terdapat pengaruh yang positif dan signifikan pemberian reward terhadap kinerja karyawan pada PT.

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
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
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
