    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    Berdasarkan hasil studi pendahuluan, siswa mengalami kesulitan pada mata pelajaran pemrograman dasar terutama pada materi struktur kontrol perulangan yang dibuktikan dengan hasil belajar siswa yang rendah pada ulangan harian sebesar 53,67 yang tidak mencapai KKM sebesar 75. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang dan membangun e-learning dengan model flipped classroom untuk meningkatkan pemahaman konsep siswa SMK pada struktur kontrol perulangan. Tahapan penelitian dan pengembangan yang telah dilakukan memperoleh data penelitian dari angket survey lapangan yang diberikan kepada siswa SMK kelas X RPL di SMK Negeri 2 Bandung dan wawancara kepada guru produktif RPL. Selain itu, data diperoleh dari angket untuk validasi ahli dan angket penilaian siswa terhadap e-learning dengan model flipped classroom. Data juga didapatkan dari tes pilihan ganda untuk mengukur peningkatan pemahaman konsep. Penelitian ini memperoleh hasil: 1) e-learning dengan model flipped classroom yang telah dikembangkan layak digunakan dan memiliki rata-rata nilai persentase 86,3% oleh ahli media, 85,6% oleh ahli materi yang keduanya termasuk kriteria sangat baik, dan siswa memberikan penilaian yang sangat baik terhadap e-learning dengan model flipped classroom dengan persentase penilaian 79,15%. 2) e-learning dengan model flipped classroom menunjukkan adanya peningkatan nilai. Nilai rata-rata pretest sebesar 26,67 dan nilai rata-rata posttest sebesar 63,37 serta diperkuat dengan perhitungan indeks gain yang terlihat peningkatan pemahaman konsep siswa sebesar 50% dengan kriteria sedang hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman siswa meningkat. Based on pre-research data, student experience difficulties in basic programming subject especially in the loop control structure proofed by their daily-exam grade was 53,67 while KKM was 75. This study aimed in design and builde-learning with classroom flipped model to improve the concept understanding of SMK students on the loop control structure. Research and development obtained research data from survey questionnaire given to students of SMK class X RPL in SMK Negeri 2 Bandung and interviews to RPL productive teacher. Data also obtained from questionnaire of expert validation and students' assessment frome-learningwithflipped classroommodels. Data also obtained from multiple-choice test to measure improvements in conceptual understanding. The results pf the research were: 1) Developed e-learning with flipped classroom models considered good and worthy of use by the average value of the percentage of 86.3% by media experts, and 85.6% by subject matter experts, then students gave judgment very good on e-learning with flipped classroom models with a percentage of 79.15% votes. 2) e-learningwithclassroom flippedmodels show an increase in the average value of pretest before using e-learning 26.67 compared to the average value posttest after using e-learning at 63.37 and strengthened by the calculation of the index gains seen Increased understanding of students 'concepts by 50% with moderate criteria indicating that students' understanding is improving

    SISTEM PENGAMAN LOKER BERBASIS ARDUINO MENGGUNAKAN FINGERPRINT DAN KEYPAD Dwi Putri Handayani; dibimbing oleh Ir.A.Rahman, M.T. dan Ir. Iskandar Lutfi, M.T. Loker adalah tempat penyimpanan yang praktis dan sering digunakan, tetapi sistem keamanan loker saat ini masih memiliki resiko yang sangat tinggi. Seperti halnya pada keamanan loker kelas yang masih menggunakan gembok. Salah satu hal yang penting dalam perancangan dan pengembangan loker adalah sistem keamanannya, yaitu suatu sistem yang dapat membuat loker tidak bisa dibuka oleh semua mahasiswa kecuali perangkat kelas. Maka dari itu tujuan penulis untuk meningkatkan sistem keamanan pada loker. Oleh karena itu penulis menambahkan sistem pengaman berupa sensor fingerprint dan keypad yang menggunakan arduino mega 2560 sebagai mikrokontroller. Dengan diberinya sensor fingerprint dan keypad, diharapkan sistem keamanan pada loker meningkat. Sistem keamanan pada loker ini dibuat hanya untuk mendeteksi 4 jari perangkat kelas saja, dan keypad digunakan sebagai opsi cadangan untuk membuka loker. Setelah diuji ternyata sistem keamanan yang menggunakan sensor fingerprint dan keypad lebih aman dibandingkan dengan loker manual yang menggunakan kuncigembok

    PENGARUH DRY NEEDLING TERHADAP PENURUNAN NYERI PADA MYOFASCIAL TRIGGER POINT SYNDROME (MTPS) OTOT UPPER TRAPEZIUS

    Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi pengaruh dry needling terhadap penurunan nyeri pada pasien dengan Myofascial Trigger Point Syndrome (MTPS) otot upper trapezius, kondisi yang sering menyebabkan nyeri lokal akibat adanya trigger points. Dry needling merupakan metode yang melibatkan penusukan jarum ke dalam otot untuk meredakan trigger points. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan quasi eksperimental dengan dua kelompok: kontrol dan perlakuan, masing-masing terdiri dari 10 pasien. Kelompok kontrol menerima myofascial release, sementara kelompok perlakuan menerima dry needling. Pengukuran intensitas nyeri dilakukan menggunakan Neck Disability Index. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penurunan signifikan dalam intensitas nyeri pada kedua kelompok, dengan hasil yang lebih baik pada kelompok perlakuan yang menerima dry needling. Dry needling terbukti efektif dalam mengurangi nyeri pada MTPS otot upper trapezius, memberikan alternatif potensial dalam pengelolaan nyeri konvensional. Namun, penelitian lebih lanjut diperlukan dengan sampel yang lebih besar dan desain yang lebih kuat untuk mengonfirmasi temuan ini dan menjelaskan lebih lanjut mekanisme kerja dry needling dalam pengelolaan MTPS. Penemuan ini berpotensi mendukung penggunaan dry needling dalam praktik klinis untuk pengelolaan MTPS

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    We 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
