UPACARA “TOLAK BALA” REFLEKSI KEARIFAN LOKAL MASYARAKAT NELAYAN KENAGARIAN PAINAN KABUPATEN PESISIR SELATAN PROPINSI SUMATERA BARAT TERHADAP LAUT
No full textNagari (local village) of Painan is a fishing area located in Pesisir Selatan Regency, West Sumatera Province. Sometimes the number of fish fished in this area is so low. The community believes the reason for this is some kind of mystical strength. Therefore they try to avoid it by holding ‘tolak bala’ (rejecting misfortune) ceremony. The main question of this study is what role does the ceremony play in the Painan fishermen community? The data is analysed using functional structural theory of Redcliffe-Brown. As a materialization of local wisdom, the ceremony is important among the fishermen community. Religious, social, and economic aspects of the ceremony can change the perception of society. Fishermen realize the harmony between human and supernatural creatures. In the other hand, the ceremony helps develop and preserve the social binding and teach them about the importance of saving and economical spending.Keywords: ‘tolak bala’, local wisdom, fishermen</jats:p
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
ANAK-ANAK PANTAI PURUS DI TENGAH ARUS 4.0
No full textKemajuan teknologi informasi telah memasuki semua lini kehidupan. Tidak terjadi lagi perbedaan antara masyarakat perkotaan dengan masyarakat yang tinggal di kawasan pedesaan. Demikian pula perbedaan yang kabur antara penduduk yang menetap di kawasan pantai dan kawasan daratan. Dimana ada sinyal maka polanya akan cendrung sama. Hal ini tentu menarik karena homogenitas akan berlaku dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Padahal sosio-budaya, pendidikan dan ekonomi tiap-tiap masyarakat sangatlah beragam. Tulisan ini ingin membuktikan hal ini pada anak-anak di kawasan pantai Purus. Bagaimana perubahan yang terjadi pada anak-anak di kawasan pantai di tengah arus 4.0. Permasalahannya selama ini telah terbangun stereotip yang menyatakan bahwa anak anak yang tinggal di kawasan pantai cendrung nakal, kasar dan keras. Mereka banyak tidak bersekolah. Hasil penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa anak-anak di pantai Purus yang berada di Kelurahan Purus belum mampu mengembangkan diri dengan kemajuan teknologi 4.0. Sebaliknya sebahagian dari mereka semakin terpengaruh dan terpasung dalam fantastisme dunia maya. Ada ketakutan anak-anak Purus semakin terpinggirkan kelak. Hal ini karena tingkat ekonomi yang lemah dan rendahnya pendidikan. Demkian pula kesadaran orangtua akan pentingnya masa depan dengan pendidikan juga kurang. Padahal teknologi canggih menuntut keahlian dengan tingkat pendidikan yang relatif tinggi
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
