Peranan kata pinjaman Arab dalam memperkaya Bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa negara bangsa
No full textSuatu hakikat yang tidak dapat disangkal ialah terdapat sejumlah besar kata pinjaman Arab dalam bahasa Melayu yang digunakan secara meluas dalam masyarakat Melayu. Penggunaan kata pinjaman Arab ini meliputi pelbagai aspekagama, ekonomi, politik, undang-undang, perubatan dan sosial.Penerimaan masyarakat Melayu terhadap kata pinjaman Arab adalah positif sehingga dapat mengayakan bahasa Melayu itu sendiri. Justeru, kajian ini melihat sejauh manakah kata pinjaman Arab ini berperanan memperkaya bahasa Melayu dari pelbagai aspek yang mampu memperkukuh fungsi bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa ilmu dan bahasa budaya tinggi. Seterusnya kajian ini menganalisis peranan kata pinjaman Arab tersebut berlandaskan aspek yang ditentukan. Untuk tujuan itu, sejumlah perkataan pinjaman Arab yang terdapat dalam Kamus Dewan Edisi Ke-4 (KDEK4) dijadikan subjek kajian. Kata pinjaman Arab tersebut akan dikategorikan mengikut aspek yang dikemukakan oleh para sarjana bahasa. Hasil daripada penelitian yang dilakukan mendapati bahawa pengaruh dan kesan kata pinjaman Arab terhadap bahasa Melayu dilihat akan tetap dan terus berlaku hingga sekarang terutama sekali dalam bidang agama, perundangan, ekonomi dan hukum-hakam Islam.Hal ini adalah penting untuk membolehkan bahasa Melayu ini bergerak maju seiring dengan kemajuan yang dilalui oleh masyarakat penuturnya yang mampu menjadikan bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa Negara Bangsa
Choice factors in learning foreign languages among local university students: a case study
No full textKnowing the attitude and beliefs of learners toward foreign language learning is important for language teachers as well as curriculum developers. The language teacher especially can play a role by focusing on aspects that can raise the enthusiasm of learners in learning a foreign language and changing their attitude based on the findings of this study. The main objective of the study is to identify the factor chosen in learning a foreign language among local university students. It is also aimed at: Identifying the main factor that students choose in learning a foreign languageproviding information to the university on what students need in learning a foreign languag
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
