Mechanical beast and where to find them / Hasnul Azwan Azizan
Get PDFThe 20th century has left us a long time ago but it gave significant accomplishment to the advancements in human technological history. Over and over again technology and the human spirit seem to be intertwined in fate and destiny. Sought to be just mere tools in giving society the edge it needed to live and survive has become more “conscious’ as people describe it in the modern life. The Beast of mythology may very well be forgotten and honoured as relics of the past but the presence of mechanical manifest is always here and keep on evolving to the very best of people‘s attention. The series of where to find mechanical existence is to explore the human condition of relying, adapting, embracing or even revolting at the sight of mechanical entity surrounding them. This process could be defined by a slur of coined terms and academic terminologies but it is the essence which is more important to be realized that we have lived and always live in a pseudo mechanical environment, everything from washing to cars and aeroplanes which have some or plenty of moving parts which are controlled by an operator

SYNCHRONOUS AND ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING ACTIVITIES AS ALTERNATIVE DISTANCE LEARNING MODELS THAT ARE ORIENTED TO OUTCOME-BASED EDUCATION
Get PDFThe learning model for teacher professional education program is carried out online by utilizing a learning management system which is divided into synchronous and asynchronous learning activities. The combination of these two activities is expected to optimize the quality of online learning, but in practice the success of this distance learning model often encounters obstacles both internal and external factors including network constraints, devices used, time management due to busy activities, differences in competence in digital literacy and student data literacy. , as well as constraints on achieving timespend in synchronous and asynchronous activities. Obstacles that arise as obstacles in learning activities need to be evaluated and solutions sought. This study aims to analyze the learning constraints in synchronous and asynchronous activities and find alternative solutions to support the achievement of outcomes based education. The method used is a case study through qualitative analysis. The research subjects were students of the teaching profession program in mechanical engineering concentration positions. The results of the study show that synchronous activities support students learning quickly but need to be supported by a stable network, quality devices, time management and human resources with good technological literacy and digital literacy. Whereas asynchronous provides breadth in the flexibility of learning activities but requires precision and consistency so that you don't get bored easily and require activeness in learning activities. It can be concluded that the effectiveness of distance learning is by collaborating synchronous and asynchronous learning proportionally and mutually reinforcing so that the quality of online learning can be guaranteed and the goals of the teaching profession program can be achieve
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
