Web Based Information System for Motoric and Mental Development in Early Childhood
Get PDFThe period of the first five years of children (early childhood/toddler), a period which is very sensitive to the environment , and known as the "golden age" , "windows of opportunity” and "critical period". Fostering child development in a comprehensive and quality are carried out through the stimulation, early detection and intervention developmental aberrations toddlers. Currently, medical information systems are so various, but there is rare to assist the medical personnel especially in helping early childhood development.
Motoric and mental development in early childhood is one of the most important things to educate the toddler. This early childhood development decision support system research aims to facilitate medical personnel (health centers) in determining and monitoring of early childhood development. System design method used is waterfall method that uses a systematic and sequential approach starting from the level of defining the system requirements to maintenance. While the methods used in decision an early childhood development status is a method of AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) that a comprehensive model of decision-making with multiple criteria, the AHP model is a comprehensive model of decision making. Priorities are taken to decide the status of the development of correct answers is half the value of the number of questions. So that the developmental status is determined based on the statement /question criteria.
Based on the results of the test system, medical personnel (health centers) can easily determine and monitor from the system in determining the status of early childhood development.

A Capacity Planning Through Discrete Event Simulation
Get PDFThe capacity planning serves an important role in strategic decisions involving production facilities. While there are many publications made on capacity planning, most of the models created tend to restrict their applications in real-world due to some initial assumptions being made and/or the run-time execution of the models that may be prohibitive. The objective of this paper is to explore the model construction for in-plant truck movement in a cement company that is based on building a discrete-event simulation one so that the planning may be sufficiently robust while the amount of time for constructing the model and the run-time still serve practical purposes. The model then is used to examine the effects of shifting bottlenecking and thus, allows users to identify critical resources for the production process. The results show that such a model provides the directions and aids for the management to make the strategic decisions
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
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
