Menjadi seorang berkeyakinan sekuler di Indonesia: Efek secular beliefs terhadap significance loss yang dimediasi oleh kesepian
Full text linkPerkembangan pemikiran dan ilmu pengetahuan manusia diyakini menyebabkan pudarnya peran agama di dunia. Meskipun begitu, pernyataan ini menuai berbagai perdebatan. Berbagai temuan menunjukkan bahwa penurunan peran agama tidak dapat digeneralisasikan pada semua konteks. Peran agama cenderung bertahan dan terus menguat pada negara yang rentan, meskipun terdapat pengecualian pada sebagian negara maju. Pada konteks Indonesia, agama berperan besar dan tidak dapat dipisahkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Oleh karena itu, Indonesia sebagai negara religius menolak nilai-nilai sekularisme. Sebagian besar penelitian terdahulu berfokus membahas tentang tren perkembangan sekularisme di berbagai budaya. Penelitian ini berusaha untuk melampaui fokus penelitian terdahulu dengan mempertimbangkan konteks penelitian yaitu dampak menjadi seorang sekuler di negara religius. Lebih spesifiknya, peneliti akan menguji secular beliefs memprediksi significance loss yang dijelaskan oleh kesepian. Terdapat 554 partisipan (perempuan = 73,3%, laki-laki = 25,6%, dan lainnya = 1,1%) yang merupakan WNI berusia 18 tahun ke atas (M = 25,62 dan SD = 8,427). Hasil analisis mediasi menunjukkan hasil yang bervariasi pada tiga dimensi secular beliefs. Pada dimensi 1 (menolak penjelasan supernatural) dan dimensi 3 (dukungan terhadap rasionalisasi manusia) secara signifikan memprediksi significance loss yang dimediasi oleh kesepian. Artinya, semakin tinggi kecenderungan orang pada dua dimensi tersebut maka semakin merasa tidak berharga yang disebabkan oleh kesepian. Mengingat Indonesia merupakan negara yang mengutamakan agama dan mengakui adanya entitas transendental maka orang sekuler dianggap menyimpang dari norma umum masyarakat dan mengalami eksklusi sosial dan penilaian negatif – yang pada gilirannya menyebabkan significance loss. Sedangkan pada dimensi 2 yaitu pemisahan agama dan negara dinilai lazim karena Indonesia bukan negara teokrasi yang bersumber dari hukum agama
The underlying mechanism behind quest for significance and its role in violence extremism: A systematic literature review
Full text linkBased on the Quest for Significance Theory (SQT), violent extremism is a consequence of the quest for significance activated by significance loss, significance gain, and threat of significance loss. This systematic literature review aims to synthesize previous research related to the quest for significance using SQT. The authors selected 103 articles, and 24 articles met the inclusion criteria. The review results indicate that loss of significance consistently tends to activate the quest for significance and predicts violent extremism stemming from various factors, including vulnerable environments, perceptions of injustice, social rejection, and failure to achieve goals. Conversely, significance gain shows inconsistency; studies suggest this factor strengthens, weakens, or predicts future involvement in violent extremism. There has been no empirical research specifically addressing the threat of significance loss. The measurement of significance loss and significance gain has not been clearly distinguished and uses various proxies, indicating that standardized measurement tools have not yet been established. Additionally, there is still overlap in the operationalization of measurement between significance loss and the quest for significance
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
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
