Annex(EXCERPT)
Governing is comparable to a situation where a family head talks and listens regularly to each of his/her family members’ concerns and interests. As with the head of the family, the government’s focus on its people’s welfare encompasses a multitude of concerns – health, food security, education, employment, peace and order, and disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM), to name a few. DRRM has been a vital concern in recent years due to worldwide climate change conditions that have been wreaking havoc in the country and unduly affecting all aspects of people’s lives.
In implementing the policies, programs, and projects, communication is seen as one of the fundamental and crucial factors in the process of governing and in achieving the government’s development-oriented objectives.
Basically, this primer on governance communication is essential in understanding governance communication (govcomm) and its components (policy, institutions, personnel, media, communication mechanisms, and public sphere). This is important among government officials and stakeholders because it will serve as guide in studying their govcomm that will lead policy makers, and all the participants in the process, in formulating policies and ordinances related to governance and communication.Disclaimer

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
Redesigning of Sibol curriculum as social innovation in an extension program
Full text linkThis study was aimed in redesigning GK Sibol curriculum as a social innovation in the COE Extension program and aligning it with the ECCD Council mandated programs that covers health, nutrition, early education, and social services for children ages 3-4 years. This educational design research was anchored on the ADDIE model for its development and the "serve and return concept" was instilled in the heart of its play functions and interactions as learning tasks and activities were constructed. Anchoring on the constructivist perspective, both theoretical model and concept were embedded in the enhanced delivery of the program. The Preschool Curriculum Review Rubric Planning Tool from the Virginia Department of Education (2007) was modified and was validated to suit the need of the study. This evaluation tool is composed of 25 statements describing the three identified parameters of the curriculum, namely: (A) Content, Scope, and Sequence, (B) Teaching and Learning Activities, and (C) Assessment Tasks. Experts in the area of early childhood and curriculum development were chosen to validate the redesigned GK Sibol Curriculum. The evaluation results showed an overall mean of (SD=0.16, M=3.81) described as Highly Acceptable. When broken down according to the identified parameters, (A) Content, Scope and Sequence has the score of (SD= 0.18, M=3.78) Highly Acceptable; (B) Teaching and Learning Activities (SD=0.19, M=3.82) Highly Acceptable and (C) Assessment Tasks (SD=0.36, M=3.84) Highly Acceptable. With the Highly Acceptable results, the redesigned curriculum is recommended for utilization in the COE Extension program and further research on its impact be conducted
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
