No full textتهدف هذه الورقة البحثية لمناقشة التقارب المحتمل بين استراتيجيات التدويل لممارسات ضمان الجودة بالجامعات والهيئات التعليمية والبحثية، والتي هي نتيجة للتفاعل بين مقاربات العمل التي تضعها هيئات الاعتماد الدولية ومعايير التصنيف العالمية. تستخدم هذه الدراسة منهجية استقرائية تقوم على مقارنة نتائج هذه الهيئات وتحليل مصادرها واثارها على توجيه ممارسات الجودة نحو أنماط دولية مشتركة تحكمها عوامل مرتبطة بالعولمة والتي تقتضي أنماط تعليمية متقاربة ومتوافقة مع الظرفية الدولية وكذا الانفتاح على الأسواق الدولية، وتأثير الشركات الكبرى الموظفة للأفراد في صفات الخريجين ومخرجات التعلم التي تتوائم ومصالحها. من أهم نتائج هذه الدراسة أنها بينت وجود توجيه مباشر من منهجيات عمل الهيئات الدولية للاعتماد والتصنيف يؤدي لظهور ممارسات معيارية ونمطية للجودة بالهيئات التعليمية والجامعية. لا تزال هناك جهود كبيرة في المجال البحثي والممارساتي للوصول الى توافق أكبر من طرف الهيئات التعليمية بالعالم ولاسيما العربي والاسلامي، وهناك تحديات أيضا تنتظر الفصل فيها بحيث تضمن الاستفادة من هذه الحركية الدولية مع المحافظة على المصالح والهوية والقيم الوطنيةThe aim of this paper is to discuss the potential convergence of internationalization strategies for quality assurance practices at universities and educational and research institutions. This is the result of the interaction between the methodologies of work developed by international accreditation institutions and classification standards. This study uses a deductive methodology based on comparing the results of these institutions and analysing their sources and effects on directing quality practices towards common international patterns governed by factors related to globalization, which require convergent and compatible educational patterns, as well as openness to international markets, and the influence of large companies employed by individuals on the characteristics of graduates and learning outputs that are compatible with their interests. One of the most important results of this study is that it showed that there is direct guidance from the methodologies of the work of international accreditation and classification institutions that leads to the emergence of normative and standard quality practices in educational and university institutions.
There are still major efforts in the field of research and practice to reach a greater consensus among educational institutions in the world, especially Arab and Islamic institutions. There are also challenges waiting to be resolved so as to guarantee benefiting from this international activity while preserving national interests, identity, and values
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
Wymiary jakości pracy i wyniki pracowników podczas Covid-19: studium przypadku pracowników saudyjskich
No full textThe aim of the present study is to examine the impact of job quality dimensions on the employees' performance during Covid-19 situation. Our study is an empirical study. It uses a quantitative survey research design. The data collected by a questionnaire developed by CIPD, 2018 to measure job quality through six main dimensions including the compensation and benefits, work conditions, health and safety, well-being and work-life balance, job design, and job performance. The female that participated in this research is 216 who work at King Faisal University. The primary data collected by a self-developed questionnaire that uses the model of CIPD, 2018 for the job quality dimensions. Our study finds positive correlations between the main dimensions of job quality and employee performance.Celem niniejszego badania jest zbadanie wpływu wymiarów jakości pracy na wyniki pracowników w sytuacji Covid-19. Przedstawione badanie jest badaniem empirycznym. Wykorzystuje projekt badania ankietowego ilościowego. Dane zebrane za pomocą kwestionariusza opracowanego przez CIPD, 2018 w celu pomiaru jakości pracy w sześciu głównych wymiarach, w tym wynagrodzenia i świadczeń, warunków pracy, zdrowia i bezpieczeństwa, dobrego samopoczucia i równowagi między życiem zawodowym a prywatnym, projektowania pracy i wydajności pracy. Kobiety, które brały udział w tych badaniach, to 216 osób pracujących na Uniwersytecie Króla Faisala. Dane pierwotne zebrane za pomocą opracowanego przez autorów kwestionariusza wykorzystującego model CIPD, 2018 dla wymiarów jakości pracy. Badanie wskazuje na pozytywne korelacje między głównymi wymiarami jakości pracy a wydajnością pracowników
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
