Establishment of Ruminant Feed Mill in West Nusa Tenggara: Challenges and Opportunities
No full textWest Nusa Tenggara or Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) Province is one of the centres of beef cattle production in Indonesia. This research aimed to analyze the opportunities and challenges of establishing a ruminant feed mill in NTB Province. Primary data collections were carried out through surveys and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with competent stakeholders at an agency that handles the livestock sector. Secondary data collections were sourced from government and private agencies, reports on the results of existing studies, and other relevant sources. Analysis of the opportunities and challenges of establishing a ruminant feed mill in NTB Province was using a SWOT analysis. The results showed that the opportunities for the establishment of a feed mill in NTB Province were indicated bythe high number of ruminant livestock population, the strong political support from the provincial government, the local production system, the more intensive food agriculture system, the willingnes of farmers to to buy feed produced from the feed mill. The threats for the establishment of a feed mill in NTB Province were the declining tendency of the ruminant livestock population, the increasing livestock and meat importation lack of the farmer’s capital land conversion, and decreased land carrying capacity, lacks of group resources the non competitive products in quality and quantity with foreign products. The construction of a ruminant animal feed mill in NTB Province is feasible and technically, production and marketing are very prospective because commercial animal feed needs are still imported from outside NTB Province

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
Peningkatan Hardskill Ibu Rumah Tangga Sebagai Upaya Meningkatkan Penghasilan Keluarga Melalui Pelatihan Pembuatan Telur Asin Di Desa Bajo Kecamatan Soromandi
Full text linkCounseling on "increasing the hard skills of housewives as an effort to increase family income through training in making salted eggs in Bajo Village, Soromandi District" was carried out in August by involving various community groups including duck breeders, Soromandi Village officials, and the community around the service location. This activity was carried out through counseling and discussion as well as short training through demonstration and practice on salted egg making. This extension involved more than 37 participants from the planned 20 participants and also involved 3 students who were in their final semester. The results of the extension showed that the extension participants were very enthusiastic about this training meter can be seen from active participation in all activities, especially during discussion and practice sessions and increased understanding of salted egg making in an effort to increase the added value of duck eggs produced including to increase egg storage time so that it can be consumed in a relatively longer period of time than ordinary consumption eggs and increase the selling value of eggs.

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
