THE USE OF THE ATUMICS METHOD FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF DESIGNS FOR WOMEN'S LEATHER BAGS
Get PDFAbstract: Leather bags are popular consumer products, frequently undergoing innovations to meet evolving aesthetic preferences and market demands. While leather artisans continuously experiment with new designs, integrating traditional and contemporary styles remains an underexplored area, especially in the application of batik printing on leather. To address this knowledge gap, this study seeks to enhance leather bag designs by incorporating batik printing, aiming to modernize traditional motifs and elevate the cultural value of these products. Using the ATUMICS method—a structured approach that harmonizes traditional and modern elements through Artifact, Technique, Utility, Material, Icon, Concept, and Shape criteria— the study examined the impact of adding batik printing designs on the feasibility and consumer appeal of leather bags. Findings reveal that leather bags with batik printing achieve higher feasibility scores, with product evaluations improving from 30–65% to 80–100% after applying the ATUMICS method, based on a questionnaire completed by ten experienced artisans. Validity and reliability tests yielded values (validity: 0.716–0.967; reliability: Cronbach's Alpha 0.885) that confirm the robustness of the instrument used. The novelty of this research lies in demonstrating the potential of batik-printed leather bags as a culturally resonant, modern product for broader markets. Implications suggest that integrating traditional patterns with contemporary aesthetics can revitalize interest in leather crafts and serve as a model for other traditional crafts, providing artisans with valuable insights into product differentiation and market adaptation. Future research should expand on design variations in form and color to further enhance the diversity of leather bag offerings and maintain the cultural significance of traditional art forms in modern fashion
The Use of the Atumics Method for the Development of Designs for Women's Leather Bags: Penggunaan Metode Atumics Guna Pengembangan Desain Tas Wanita Berbahan Kulit
No full textLeather bag is one of industry products that are widely found among the public. The problem of leather bags that tends to be monotonous and plain certainly makes production of this industry need an innovation and new ideas related to the design of the skin bag. The purpose of this study is to create a new innovation in making leather bags with the addition of printing batik design in order to look more modern than the previous existing products. Research is carried out using the ATUMICS method which is a method of regulating, combinations, integration, or mixed between basic elements of tradition with modernity. The results in this study mention that there is additional Priting batik design in the creation of leather bags making the feasibility score of a product made with an average of 75-100% against the enthusiasts of leather bag products with a batik printing design
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
