    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    The prevalent problem of partnership is the difficulty of supplying green feed. Palm oil frond was the most available palm oil waste for feed utilization by partnership because both partners were located in palm oil plantation area. For optimum feed utilization, palm oil frond was to undergo particular process through ammoniation with urea and fermentation with MOL (local microorganism) from cow manure. The objective of this activity was to introduce the processing technology of palm oil frond by ammoniation and fermentation in partner groups. The variables of this activity were palm oil frond ammoniation, fermented palm oil frond, and mol from cow manure. This social service activity was conducted by extension method, training and demonstration, as well as group supervision and partnership. The result of this event demonstrated that partner groups were able and skillful in processing palm oil frond through ammoniation and fermentation, as well as creating MOL from cow feces as fermentation starter. Ammoniation palm oil was characterized by ammoniac smell and intact green texture. Good quality fermented palm oil frond was tapai- like fragrant, moldless and mucus-free yellowish green. Ammoniation and fermented palm oil frond had good palatability as observed from the response of cow’s immediate intake on the first administration without necessarily long adaptation. Conclusion: Processing technology of palm oil frond was well accepted and applicable in partner groups as solution to green feed problem. Keywords: ammoniation, fermentation, mol cow manure, palm oil frond, cattle feed 

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    Quail (Coturnix-coturnix japonica) including poultry that has the potential to be developed but in increasing production is still constrained by the problem of seeds, feed, and post-harvest processing. Not yet utilized durian seeds as a source of local feed ingredients which is very potential for quail cattle. Besides the low understanding of partners about the nutritional needs of quails and post-harvest processing. This Community Service Program (Program Pengabdian Masyarakat/PKM) aims to overcome the problems of seed and quail seed quality obtained, utilizing durian seed waste for quail feed and post-harvest processing of male quail. The activity has been carried out for 8 (eight) months from March to October 2018 in the “Usaha Ternak Maju Group†and the “Kasih Ibu†Orphanage group in the form of socialization, counseling, training, and demonstrations as well as making a demonstration plot. PKM activities have been going well with the two partners shown by the use of durian seed-based feed ingredients to increase quail livestock production. Both partners have understood hatchery management, quail maintenance management, durian seed flour making technology and management of ration preparation using durian seed flour and male quail processing.Quail (Coturnix-coturnix japonica) including poultry that has the potential to be developed but in increasing production is still constrained by the problem of seeds, feed, and post-harvest processing.

    We 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

    Kendala dalam pemanfaatan limbah sayuran  secara langsung yaitu sifatnya yang mudah busuk, bersifat voluminous (bulky)/amba, ketersediannya berfluktuasi. Untuk mengatasi kendala diatas diperlukan teknologi pengolahan pakan hijauan salah satunya adalah pembuatan wafer agar bahan pakan bisa bertahan lama. Teknologi pakan hijauan wafer ini dapat  mengoptimalkan pemanfaatan limbah sayuran. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan April sampai dengan Juni 2019 di Laboratorium Pertanian Universitas Muhammadiyah Bengkulu dan dilakukan analisis fraksi serat (Van Soest) di Laboratorium Institute Pertanian Bogor (IPB). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh lama penyimpanan terhadap komposisi fraksi serat (hemiselulosa, Sellulosa dan lignin).  Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah rancangan acak lengkap  (RAL)  4 x 4, dengan 4 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan. Wafer limbah sayur dibuat dengan formulasi 60% limbah sayuran, 25% dedak, 10% molases dan 5% tapioka.  Perlakuan yang diuji adalah lama penyimpanan: A = Tanpa Penyimpanan B = Penyimpanan 1 Minggui, C = Penyimpanan 2 minggu dan D = Penyimpanan 3 minggu.  Para meter yang diamati Kandungan Selulosa, hemi sellulosa dan Kandungan Lignin.  Hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa lama penyimanan wafer pakan selama 3 minggu tidak berpengaruh pada peurunnan kandungan selulosa namun dapat menurunkan kandungan hemiselulosa dan lignin wafer pakan
