Pest forces on agriculture sector / Baderisang Mohamed and Nurul Najiha Azhar
Get PDFAgriculture sector is one of the most important sectors in Malaysia and contributes greatly to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country. According to the Department of Statistics Malaysia, the agriculture sector contributes 7.3% which is RM 99.5 billion to the GDP in 2018. The key contributor to the GDP of the agriculture industry in 2018 is oil palm which is about at 37.9%, followed by livestock at 14.9%, fishing at 12.5%, forestry and logging at 6.9% and rubber at 2.8% (Department of Statistics Malaysia, 2020).
Malaysia becomes the highest producer of palm oil and rubber in the world after Indonesia. Agriculture industry has given and provided many job opportunities to both local and foreign workers. Farmers and smallholders, most of who come from low-income household category or
B40 enter the agriculture sector to generate income and to raise their livelihood. The government has played its role to increase production to the point of increasing exports, hence, economic growth and agricultural production increased and was able to increase farmers’ income indirectly. There are a number of external factors that will impact the agriculture sector which start from political forces, economic forces, social forces, and technology forces or PEST
Usage of animations as advertising tools / Baderisang Mohamed and Malawanis Mohd Noor Kama
Get PDFThe latest technology application and current trend of marketing have influenced the usage of animation in the product advertising (Callcott & Lee, 2013). The word ‘animation’ comes from the Latin word ‘animate’ and means to bring life to or to invoke life. It is the process of creating the illusion of movemen t brought by sequencing either 2D drawings or computer generated images or 3D objects such as clay or plasticine (Chitchyan, 2011) Therefore, animation is defined as a series sequence of static images to create the illusion of movement. Most people believe the creation of real pictures or individual images is an animation, but according to the author it is the disposition of static images that conveys the movement (Thant, 2008). The animation gives free expression to the imagination (Goel & Upadhyay, 2017)

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
Impact of COVID-19 on airlines industry / Baderisang Mohamed and Maryam Nabila Muhammad
Get PDFCorona virus (COVID-19) is an infectious disease which is caused by a newly discovered corona virus. People who are infected with this corona virus will have mild to moderate respiratory disease and will recover quickly, even without the need for special care.
