Understanding emotion as a communication barrier among executives in corporate organization towards effective communication
No full textThis research is conducted using qualitative method in understanding the deeper
meaning of emotion as a communication barrier. A conceptual framework has been developed
to understand these communication barriers on a deeper level and they are categorized into
four dimensions which are, 1) socialization between employees, 2) competition between
employees, 3) collaboration between employees, 4) proper communication in resolving
conflict. To achieve these objectives, a total of 5 informants have been interviewed using indepth
interview method. The informants are chosen among the executives working in Sime
Darby Bhd as the organization is a conglomerate consisting of multiracial employees and they
are selected using purposive sampling. The location of this study is the headquarter of Sime
Darby Bhd, situated in Jalan Raja Laut, Kuala Lumpur. The findings of this current research
conclude that the factors such as avoidance, collaboration and compromise as laid out by the
past researcher could not be categorized as the factor that cause communication barriers in
Sime Darby Bhd
Understanding language as a communication barrier among executives in corporate organization towards effective communication
No full textThis research is conducted using qualitative method in understanding the deeper meaning of
language as a communication barrier. A conceptual framework has been developed to
understand these communication barriers on a deeper level and they are categorized into three
dimensions which are, 1) slang, 2) speed of talking, 3) language proficiency. To achieve these
objectives, a total of 5 informants have been interviewed using in-depth interview method. The
informants are chosen among the executives working in Sime Darby Bhd as the organization is a
conglomerate consisting of multiracial employees and they are selected using purposive
sampling. The location of this study is the headquarter of Sime Darby Bhd, situated in Jalan
Raja Laut, Kuala Lumpur. The findings of this current research has found that the issues
revolving around language barrier still remain the same as past research findings whereby the
use of slang, jargon, abbreviation would cause problems in knowledge transfer and thus
resulting in communication breakdown. However, these problems can be overcome through the
use of proper gesture and even visualization

MUJAHIDAH ZIYAD, Pengaruh Fasilitas dan Bimbingan Belajar Terhadap Hasil Belajar Biologi Siswa SMA Negeri 3 Watampone (Dibimbing oleh Firdaus Daud dan Andi Asmawati Aziz)
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah (i) mengetahui pengaruh fasilitas belajar terhadap hasil belajar siswa SMA Negeri 3 Watampone. (ii) mengetahui pengaruh bimbingan belajar terhadap hasil belajar siswa SMA Negeri 3 Watampone. (iii) mengetahui pengaruh fasilitas dan bimbingan belajar secara bersama-sama terhadap hasil belajar siswa SMA Negeri 3 Watampone. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian ex-post facto dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui angket dan nilai akhir semester 1 tahun 2013/2014 teknik analisis data secara deskriptif dan inferensial (regresi ganda). Hasil menunjukkan bahwa, fasilitas belajar terhadap hasil belajar biologi diperoleh Fhitung sebesar 100,936 dengan tingkat signifikansi 0,000 yang kurang dari 0,05, pada bimbingan belajar diperoleh Fhitung sebesar 129,062 dengan tingkat signifikansi 0,000 yang kurang dari 0,05, sedangkan nilai Fhitung fasilitas belajar dan bimbingan belajar secara bersama-sama terhadap hasil belajar biologi yaitu sebesar 67,829 dengan tingkat signifikansi 0,000 menyatakan ada pengaruh fasilitas dan bimbingan belajar terhadap hasil belajar biologi siswa SMA Negeri 3 Watampone. Kesimpulan bahwa, (1) terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan antara fasilitas belajar terhadap hasil belajar biologi siswa SMA Negeri 3 Watampone, (2) terdapat pengaruh yang signifkan antara bimbingan belajar terhadap hasil belajar biologi siswa SMA Negeri 3 Watampone, (3) terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan antara fasilitas dan bimbingan belajar terhadap hasil belajar biologi siswa SMA Negeri 3 Watampone
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
