Prophetic Ethics: The Basic Value of Public Service Ethics
Full text linkDialectics of public service in providing services to the community is always involved in social interactions that do not stop. Very complex interactions involving not only theories related to public service, but also heterogeneous and dynamic human individuals who are involved either directly or indirectly. This research aims to build the concept of prophetic ethics as the basis of the ethical values of public service. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach in building the concept of prophetic ethics. The main bases of the theory are adopted from the spirit and the prophetic principle of profetic which is classified respectively into the four elements of the establishment, namely humanity, scholarly, pregnancy as well as humanist, emancypatorist, transcendental and Teleological. This ethical concept has an orientation on the highest human spiritual peaks, namely the divine and prophetic consciousness. With such awareness of public service not only give service to society in general, but also as a form of devotion of a servant to the creator. Prophetic ethic recognizes the existence of empirical knowledge and not empirical. From the science was then made a practical formulation in the form of “prophetic law”, which was finally called by the name “prophetic ethics”. Prophetic ethics is an endeavor that the writer undertakes in internalizing a principle and spirit that holds fast to a holistic awareness that is divine and prophetic awareness. Thus the concept of public service is not only to dethrone obligations in providing service but also as a form of devotion of a servant to its creator
Isu pelaksanaan sistem saraan berasaskan prestasi: sistem saraan baru di Malaysia
Full text linkSistem saraan berasaskan prestasi yang diamalkan secara meluas di sektor swasta dan kemudiannya diperkenalkan di sektor awam sekitar tahun 70an dan 80an merupakan satu sistem saraan yang berasaskan prestasi pekerja. Berdasarkan sistem ini, kenaikan gaji ditentukan melalui satu penilaian yang subjektif terhadap prestasi kerja yang lalu dengan tujuan untuk memotivasikan pekerja pada masa akan datang. Perkhidmatan awam Malaysia juga tidak ketinggalan melaksanakan sistem ganjaran ini dengan memperkenalkan Sistem Saraan Baru pada Januari 1992. Berdasarkan kepada rangka pelaksanaannya, sistem saraan berasaskan prestasi yang menjadikan wang sebagai faktor motivasi dilihat seperti mampu membawa pelbagai kebaikan seperti meningkatkan prestasi dan produktiviti pekerja serta mengurangkan kadar lantikhenti. Walau bagaimanapun realitinya, perlaksanaan sistem ini telah menimbulkan pelbagai rungutan dari pihak pekerja. Di antara masalah yang dihadapi ialah dari segi masalah perlaksanaan penilaian prestasi, pembiayaan dan juga wujudnya persaingan yang tidak sihat. Masalah-masalah ini jika tidak dipertimbangkan dalam perlaksanaan sistem saraan berasaskan prestasi boleh menghalang peningkatan prestasi pekerja malahan mungkin menyebabkan pekerja tidak bermotivasi. Justeru kertas kerja ini akan membincangkan kebaikan-kebaikan sistem saraan berasaskan prestasi dan masalah-masalah di dalam perlaksanaan sistem ini serta cadangan- cadangan untuk menangani masalah yang timbul akibat pelaksanaan sistem ini

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
