Zakat and poverty: an Indonesia experience / Rini Rini and Fatimah Fatimah
Get PDFThis study aims to examine the effect of zakat collection and distribution on poverty in Indonesia. The sample of this research is data on collection and distribution of zakat from 34 provinces in Indonesia obtained from BAZNAS. The method of determining the sample used is purposive sampling method. The hypothesis testing of this study was carried out by linear regression method consisting of two linear regression equation models. The results of this study indicate that zakat collection has an influence on the distribution of zakat and also the distribution of zakat has the influence on poverty alleviation. Distribution of zakat in Indonesia itself is still consumptive, while to maximize the function of zakat itself in order to be able to alleviate poverty and improve people's welfare in Indonesia is by maximizing zakat productively
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
Synthesis of Coffee Parchment-Dolomite-Calcium Oxide Based Pellet Catalysts for Biomass Waste Gasification
No full textIndonesia memiliki potensi biomassa yang melimpah, salah satunya limbah kulit tanduk kopi (KT) yang belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal. Limbah ini berpotensi digunakan sebagai bahan baku dalam teknologi gasifikasi untuk menghasilkan gas sintetis (syngas) yang ramah lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan katalis berbasis dolomit dan residu pembakaran KT serta mengevaluasi pengaruhnya terhadap efisiensi proses dan kualitas produk gas dalam proses gasifikasi biomassa. Katalis disintesis menggunakan residu pembakaran KT yang dikombinasikan dengan dolomit dan kalsium oksida dalam berbagai komposisi. Residu KT diperoleh melalui pembakaran terkontrol pada temperatur 500 ℃, 600 ℃, dan 700 ℃ menggunakan furnace, dan pembakaran secara manual (tanpa kontrol temperatur). Pembakaran KT tanpa kontrol temperatur menghasilkan material dengan kandungan mineral utama seperti K dan Ca yang lebih tinggi, selanjutnya disebut CR (combustion residue). Katalis dibuat dengan rasio CR, dolomit, dan kalsium oksida 1:1:1; 2:1:1; 1:2:1; 1:1:2; 1:0:0; 0:1:0; 0:0:1 (b/b). Berdasarkan uji daya serap iod, rasio 1:2:1 menunjukkan nilai tertinggi yaitu 182,74 mg/g. Katalis ini kemudian dicetak berbentuk pellet untuk memudahkan aplikasi pada reaktor gasifikasi tipe downdraft. Gasifikasi menggunakan limbah biomassa KT dan menambahkan 10%, 20%, 30%, dan 40% (b/b) katalis pellet dan temperatur proses 500 ℃, 600 ℃, dan 700 ℃. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa gasifikasi limbah KT menggunakan 20% katalis pellet pada temperatur 600 ℃, menghasilkan syngas yang memiliki kandungan H₂ mencapai 36,02% dengan rasio H₂/CO sebesar 1,18, dan nilai kalor (lower heating value, LHV) 7,63 MJ/m³. Penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa katalis berbasis dolomit dan residu pembakaran KT efektif dalam meningkatkan performa gasifikasi biomassa, baik dari segi efisiensi maupun kualitas produk gas. Selain itu, inovasi ini memberikan solusi dalam pengelolaan limbah agroindustri kopi dan mendukung penerapan teknologi produksi energi bersih. Penelitian lebih lanjut disarankan untuk mengoptimalkan variabel proses gasifikasi dan mengevaluasi potensi regenerasi katalis untuk penggunaan berulang.Disertasi Dokto
NILAI-NILAI BUDAYA PARA TOKOH UTAMA DALAM NOVEL KEMBARA RINDU KARYA HABIBURRAHMAN EL-SHIRAZY: KAJIAN SOSIOLOGI SASTRA
No full textHabiburrahman's novel Kembara Rindu is the first soul-building dwilogi novel written by Habiburrahman El Shirazy. This novel portrays Lampung's cultural life and pesantren by instilling the cultural values of the main characters in the novel. This study aims to describe the forms and inculcation of the cultural values of the main characters. The data source of this research is from the novel Kembara Rindu by Habiburrahman El Shirazy. The research method used is qualitative method. Data collected in the form of words and sentences taken from the novel Kembara Rindu. The data collection technique used is listening and note taking. The results of the study are the inculcation of the cultural values of the main characters found in the novel Kembara Rindu by Habiburrahman El-Shirazy namely there are three instillations of cultural values. First, the inculcation of the cultural values of the main characters towards God. Second, the inculcation of the cultural values of the main characters in themselves or as individual beings. Third, the inculcation of the cultural values of the main characters towards other human beings or as social creatures. This research can be applied in everyday life as an inculcation of good attitudes and morals in order to create peace in life with Islamic teachings that are not dogmatic.Keywords: cultural values; novels; sociology of literatur
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
