FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI PERSEPSI PETERNAK TERHADAP PEMANFAATAN JERAMI PADI SEBAGAI PAKAN DI KECAMATAN BANTIMURUNG
Full text linkResearch on the use of rice straw as a feed has been widely done but the adoption at the farmer’s business level is still low. Perception of the farmers is one of the key factors in increasing the adoption of rice straw utilization as a feed. The aims of this study were to determine the level of farmers’ perceptions of the use of rice straw as a feed and factors that affect it. The study was conducted in the Bantimurung sub-district, which is the center of beef cattle and technical irrigated lowland rice. The number of respondents was 65 people who were randomly selected out of 325 farmers (20% of the population) by enumerators who had been trained. The variable measured was the level of perceptions of the farmers in fulfilling the livestock needs and the ability of the farmers in providing rice straw as a feed. The independent variable included the socio-economic factors of the farmers, consisting of age, number of livestock, number of family members, number of rice fields area, and level of education. Data were analyzed using multiple regression models using the F and t-test. The results showed that the level of perception of the farmers in fulfilling livestock needs was in less category. The level of perceptions of the farmers towards their ability in providing rice straw as feed was in the high category. Factors that influence their level of perception were the number of livestock and the number of family members. The number of livestock had a negative effect (P< 0.01) on the level of farmer perception, in which the higher the number of livestock owned by the farmers, the less level of the farmer\u27s perception towards the use of rice straw as feed. The number of the family had a positive effect (P<0.01) on the level of the farmer perception meaning that the higher the number of the family members, the higher the level of the farmer\u27s perception towards the use of rice straw as a feed
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
MODEL PENGEMBANGAN SAPI POTONG BERBASIS PETERNAKAN RAKYAT DALAM MENDUKUNG PROGRAM SWASEMBADA DAGING SAPI NASIONAL
Full text link-Kontribusi peternakan rakyat dalam pengembangan usaha sapi potong di Indonesia sangat besar. Terdapat 5,6 juta peternak yang memelihara 15,6 juta ekor sapi. Jika kapasitas peternak dalam memelihara ternak sapi potong dapat ditingkatkan menjadi 10 ekor per rumah tangga peternak, maka populasi sapi potong di Indonesia meningkat menjadi sekitar 56 juta ekor. Peningkatan kapasitas peternak dalam memelihara sapi potong dapat dilakukan dengan menghilangkan faktor penghambat yaitu waktu kerja peternak yang terbatas dan rendahnya alokasi modal dari peternak untuk aplikasi teknologi. Ada dua bagian pekerjaan yang paling menyita waktu peternak dalam usaha sapi potong yaitu penyediaan pakan dan penanganan limbah ternak. Sekitar 80% waktu peternak dihabiskan untuk menyediakan pakan dan menangani limbah ternak. Penanganan pakan dan limbah ternak oleh perusahaan yang dibentuk dan dikelola oleh tenaga professional akan meningkatkan kapasitas peternak dalam memelihara sapi potong. Perusahaan yang dibentuk memberi layanan penyediaan pakan komplit kepada peternak, layanan kesehatan dan inseminasi buatan (IB). Peternak membayar layanan penyediaan pakan dengan mengumpulkan urine sedangkan pelayanan kesehatan dan IB ternak di bayar oleh peternak dengan mengumpulkan feses ternak. Urine dan feses dikumpulkan oleh perusahaan yang dibentuk dan melakukan pengolahan, pengemasan dan penjualan pupuk organik padat dan biourine. Sisa hasil usaha dipertanggungjawabkan oleh perusahaan kepada peternak melalui pertanggungjawaban perusahaan yang dilaporkan kepada peternak
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
