Manajemen kepemimpinan dalam perspektif Tafsir Al-Manar
Get PDFKepemimpinan merupakan aspek yang sangat penting bagi kehidupan manusia. Sebagaimana diketahui bahwa manusia diciptakan sebagai makhluk sosial, artinya dalam menjalani kehidupannya di muka bumi ini, manusia tidak bisa berjalan secara perindividu. Oleh karena itu, manusia sebagai makhluk yang saling membutuhkan satu sama lainnya perlu memiliki seorang pemimpin untuk bisa mengarahkan dan menyelaraskan tujuan-tujuan yang ingin dicapai oleh setiap individu. Kepemimpinan dalam Al-Qur’an sendiri dijelaskan dengan berbagai Istilah dan redaksi yang berbeda-beda, salah satunya dalam satu redaksi di istilahkan dengan ulul amri sedangkan di redaksi lain dijelaskan dengan khalifah. Peneliti dalam penelitian ini akan mengkaji dua kata kunci tersebut menurut perpektif Tafsir Al-Manar. Dengan hasil, kata khalifah dalam QS Al-Baqarah ayat 30 menjelaskan bahwa manusia di dunia ini memiliki tugas sebagai khalifatullah di muka bumi, oleh karena itu ada dua tugas yang harus dijalankan manusia, pertama bertugas untuk bisa memakmurkan bumi melalui potensi-potensi yang sudah Allah berikan kepada manusia seperti halnya akal dan pikiran, kedua, bertugas untuk selalu melaksanakan perintah Allah dan menjauhi larangannya. Sedangkan kata ulul amri dalam QS An-Nisa’ ayat 59 mengisyaratkan kepada pemimpin untuk mengedepankan sikap kepemimpinan yang demokratis dalam artian selalu membangun kerjasama tim dan musyawaroh dalam memutuskan dan menentukan suatu perkara, Kemudian apabila memang terdapat perbedaan pandangan atau pendapat maka pemimpin dan semua anggotanya harus mengembalikan kepada kebenaran Al-Qur’an, Hadist dan hasil ijma’ resmi. Penafsiran Rasyid Rida tentang ulil amri kepada ahlul halli wal aqdi mengindikasikan bahwa pemimpin harus benar-benar diangkat dari orang yang memang memiliki kompetensi dan mengerti akan kemaslahatan bersama
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
