No full textThe impact of liquidity management on profitability performance of commercial banks in Malaysia / Nur Amira Hamiruddin
Get PDFThere are various types of measurements to calculate or to determine of how well the company or banking institutions utilize their resources to generate profits. Liquidity ratio is one of the important components or measurements to measure of how well the organization manage their liquidity position in order to achieve better performance of the organization. Liquidity is a bank's capabilities to increase in assets and meet both expected and unexpected cash and collateral obligations at reasonable cost and without incurring unacceptable losses. Effective liquidity risk management helps ensure a bank's ability to meet its obligation as they fall due and reduces the probability of an adverse situation developing. This study determines the sound practices for the liquidity risk management in banks. In this study also, will be explained about the liquidity management and the impact of the liquidity management toward the banking profitability. The population of the study consists of ten selected commercial banks in Malaysia and the period of study covered from 2010 to 2014. The data collected is analyzed by using number of basic statistical techniques such as T-test and multiple regression model. The previous researcher recommend that more frequent and monitoring and forecasting on liquidity levels and making more short-term investments can provide gains in profitability
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
Persepsi Masyarakat Terhadap Metode Keteladanan An-Nadzir dalam Menjalankan Dakwahnya
Get PDFThis research aims to examine the exemplary conduct of An-Nadzir in carrying out his preaching in the Romang Lompoa Village, Bontomarannu Subdistrict, Gowa Regency, and to assess the community's response to An-Nadzir's exemplary behavior in conducting his preaching in the aforementioned location. The study adopts a qualitative descriptive research approach located in Romang Lompoa Village, Bontomarannu Subdistrict, Gowa Regency, utilizing the sociology of preaching and communication science approaches. The primary data sources for this research are Hamiruddin, the Chairman of RW 05 in the Romang Lompoa area, as the key informant, and additional informants from the community of Romang Lompoa Village. Secondary data sources include books, the internet, ebooks, journals, and other data that can complement the study. The data collection method involves observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis consists of three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions.
The research findings indicate that An-Nadzir's exemplary conduct in preaching involves embodying three aspects: faith, transactions, and ethics. The community's response to An-Nadzir's exemplary behavior in preaching is positive, as the community welcomes his presence due to the exemplary practices, such as obedience to the commandments of Allah by promptly performing prayers. During interactions with the community, he demonstrates humility by speaking politely, maintains honesty in transactions, whether in buying and selling or in his work, and willingly assists fellow members and the community, earning him high regard among the local population.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji keteladanan An-Nadzir dalam menjalankan dakwahnya di Kelurahan Romang Lompoa Kecamatan Bontomarannu Kabupaten Gowa, dan untuk mengkaji respon masyarakat terhadap keteladanan An-Nadzir dalam menjalankan dakwahnya di Kelurahan Romang Lompoa Kecamatan Bontomarannu Kabupaten Gowa.

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
