Connecting social forestry to conservation policies in Tanah Papua
Full text linkPapua is the region with the largest remaining forest resources in Indonesia. This amounts to 42,224,840 hectares of forest areas, which in other words means that 95% of its total area is listed as forests. The breadth of forest coverage is formalized by Forestry Ministerial Decree of Indonesia no. 891/Kpts-II/1999 on the Designation of Provincial Forest Area and Inland Waters in Tanah Papua. Meanwhile, forest resources plays an important part of people’s lives in Tanah Papua and holds an important function among customary communities in Papua. Nevertheless, as yet there has been no meaningful social forestry program that provides direct benefits to communities. As a response to the special autonomy of Papua, several initiatives aimed at providing formal access and support services to local people in forest resource management. Ironically however, such initiatives are discouraged by the central government, arguing that they should originate from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. Despite these circumstances, Tambrauw and West Papua have declared themselves to be a conservation district and conservation province, respectively. This article attempts to briefly portray the dynamics of these conservation initiatives and the possibilities of developing synergy with social forestry programming in Tambrauw District and West Papua Province
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
POTENSI EKOWISATA DANAU UTER DI DISTRIK AITINYO KABUPATEN MAYBRAT-PAPUA BARAT DAYA
Full text linkThe research was conducted on Danau Uter, at Aitinyo District of Maybrat Regency. The aim of this study was to find out 1) the existence of Danau Uter as ecotourism object to support economic condition of society, 2) social culture condition and the supporting of local government in ecotourism development and 3) inspect the supporting factors in ecotourism development. The method used are descriptive analyse and study case. Data collected were tourism object, social culture of local society, accessibility, accommodation, infrastructure and the encouraging of government. The result shows that Danau Uter is reasonable to become an ecotourism object which supported by beautiful panorama, historical sites, fauna and flora biodiversity, social culture condition of local society and supporting infrastructure. On the other hand, local government is yet very supportive of ecotourism development.Penelitian dilakukan di Danau Uter Distrik Aitinyo Kabupaten Maybrat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah 1) mengetahui keberadaan obyek daya tarik wisata (ODTW) Danau Uter sebagai potensi ekowisata untuk mendukung perekonomian masyarakat, 2) kondisi sosial budaya masyarakat dan pemerintah dalam mendukung pengembangan ekowisata dan 3) mengkaji faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi pengembangan ekowisata.. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif dan teknik studi kasus. Variabel pengamatan meliputi keberadaan sumberdaya alam sebagai ODTW, sosial budaya masyarakat, aksesibilitas, akomodasi, sarana prasarana dan dukungan pemerintah daerah. Studi ini menunjukan bahwa Danau Uter berpotensi untuk dikembangkan sebagai obyek daya tarik wisata yang didukung oleh panorama yang indah, situs bersejarah, keanekaragaman flora dan fauna, kondisi sosial budaya masyarakat lokal dan infrastruktur pendukung. Disisi lain kapasitas pemerintah daerah sangat diharapkan oleh masyarakat dalam pengembangan ODTW Danau Uter
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
