The role of MAIPk (Majlis Agama Islam Dan Adat Melayu Perak) in distribution of zakat during the post crisis of pandemic viruses COVID-19 / Muhammad Afdhal Harun
Full text linkZakat is the third pillar of Islam and is an act of worship that must be performed by every Muslim, regardless of gender. Zakat consists of 2, namely Zakat Fitrah which is obligatory to be paid by all Muslims and Zakat Harta which is obligatory for those who have excess property above the nisab level. Each State in Malaysia has its own institution in managing matters related to Zakat. The Perak Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPk) is an institution entrusted with collecting and distributing Zakat in the State of Perak. When Covid-19 hit our country officially on March 18, 2020. Many social restrictions were put in place by the government to curb the spread of the disease epidemic. Therefore, a qualitative research method is done to achieve the objectives of this study. This method is carried out using the method of real -time online meetings with Hilir Perak District Baitulmal Officers who are experienced in managing Zakat and Wakaf at MAIPk. Many information sharing is discussed in this study especially in studying the role of MAIPk in distributing Zakat funds after the Covid-19 crisis in line to achieve the objectives of this study. The objective of this study, first, is to explain the concept of Zakat in MAIPk. Second, identify the terms and conditions of receiving Zakat through MAIPk. Third, knowing the distribution of Zakat during the Covid-19 Crisis in MAIPk. The results show that MAIPk plays a huge role in mobilizing Zakat funds to existing groups receiving Zakat and those who have never received Zakat but became recipients of Zakat during the Covid-19 Outbreak. Positive developments were also shown in the Perak State Community when the collection of Zakat during the Covid-19 Outbreak exceeded the expectations issued by MAIPk. In conclusion, although there are many constraints in obtaining information sharing to answer some questions but with clear knowledge and explanation the questions can be answered
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
A&M Gift Shop / Muhammad Afdhal Harun and Muhammad Mu'izz Md Nasir
Full text linkThis is an assignment about a business opportunity relevant to the venture that the student must complete. Each student must run each business according to their wants and desires, as well as their interests. For example, we have worked as a drop shipper for the company EZIMAKER (3D Printing & Laser Engraving), which sells a wide variety of items that can be customized but we work under our own registered company which is A&M Gift Shop. However, I only bought one item, a key chain.
In addition, each student couple also needs to register their business in several registration systems such as Go-Ecommerce registration, MyENT certificate and SSM registration. This assignment will also discuss some components in the business run by each pair of students such as business name, business address, organization chart, mission, vision, product description and price list of goods sold in the business.
Furthermore, this assignment will describe how we run this business. Each pair of students will market their business on Facebook. They are also free to register as any position in the business such as drop shipper, agent or others. The purpose of using the platform is none other than for a marketing strategy for the business being run. At the same time, the overall sales report and conclusion should be submitted at the end of the assignment
