Taklimat pembelajaran norma baharu / Hafizah Muhamad Azlan and Noor Syafeekha Mohamad Sakdun
Full text linkBagi memastikan kelestarian sistem pendidikan terus dilaksanakan dan dikuasai sepenuhnya oleh semua yang terlibat semasa pandeinik Covid-19 melanda, semua tenaga pengajar serta pelajar harus cepat mengambil peluang memanfaatkan situasi nonna baharu sistem pembelajaran secara atas talian. Tidak terkecuali juga kepada pelajar-pelajar universiti yang terkesan akibat pandemik ini, pelajar-pelajar tidak dapat menghadiri kuliah secara bersemuka semasa semester berjalan terutamanya pada pelajar-pelajar baharu. Oleh sebab demikian, salah satu inisiatif untuk membantu pelajar baharu mendapat pengetahuan mengenai bagaimana pembelajaran atas talian dilaksanakan oleh pihak fakulti. Unit Penasihat Akademik, Fakulti Kejurateraan Awam (FKA) telah mengadakan satu taklimat mengenai Pembelajaran Norma Baharu: Kaedah Open Distance Learning (ODL) menggunakan medium Microsoft Teams kepada semua pelajar baharu FKA pada awal semester

Bending behaviour of timber beams strenghthened using bonded-in plates / Hafizah Muhamad Azlan
Full text linkThe structural of timber is usually limited by the relatively low bending stiffness and
strength of the material in relation to other product like concrete and steel. Solid
timber beam with bigger size are difficult to b obtained. Therefore, the timber
beams at factory or existing timber beams that have been built can be strengthened
and give equivalent load carrying capacity similar to beam with bigger size. One
potential solution to increase the stiffness and strength of the timber is by reinforcing
them with plates or rod . In order to attach the reinforcement to timber the use of
structural adhesive has been widely accepted ' with condition that the bond formed
should be strong enough to transfer shear from one substrate to another. Adhesive
can be used to form load-bearing joint in timber structure , both in repair and in
new-build applications. An adhesive is expected to hold material together and
transfer design loads from one adherend to other within a given service environment
for the life of the structure
Welcome aboard future civil engineer / Ts. Noraziyan Abd Aziz and Ts. Hafizah Muhamad Azlan
Full text linkWelcome! Welcome! Welcome! A special welcome to new students and a welcome back to all students in the School for Civil Engineering at UiTMCPP. As in the previous semester, a special briefing session for all students was organised by the Academic Advisor Unit (AAU). The session has continued after the pandemic and is now held as an online event. The first briefing session was held on October 8th, 2021, for all new students of CEEC110 and CEEC221 using the Microsoft Teams platform. This session started at 9.00 am and was emceed by Nur Syahirah Binti Othman, a representative from the Penang Civil Engineering Students Society (PCES). The first semester students were given a warm and hearty welcomed by Dr. Haji Anas bin Ibrahim (Head of School for Civil Engineering), Ts. Dr. Muhamad Faizal Pakir Mohamed (Coordinator of CEEC221), and En. Mohd Zaini Bin Endut (Coordinator of CEEC110)
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
