Pendidikan Remaja Dalam Pusat Pemulihan Mencari Yang Ditinggalkan.
Full text linkKunci utama dalam membina sumber manusia yang berkualiti dan lestari adalah melalui sebuah sistem pendidikan yang baik. Sebuah sistem pendidikan yang baik mestilah
memiliki ciri-ciri seperti inklusif dan kualiti pendidikan yang saksama serta mempromosikan pembelajaran yang melangkaui kumpulan umur sasaran biasa dan menjangkaui ruang serta kerangka masa yang ditetapkan (Sustainable Development Goal 4). Berdasarkan piawaian tersebut, kita percaya bahawa sistem pendidikan pemulihan seperti pusat pemulihan tidak seharusnya dipisahkan dan ditinggalkan dalam memikirkan tentang pendidikan yang mampan. Kajian ini merupakan satu usaha penerokaan awal bagi memahami pengalaman serta cabaran yang dihadapi dari perspektif pesalah juvana Malaysia dalam meneruskan pendidikan sewaktu menjalani hukuman tahanan di pusat pemulihan
Proceedings of Universiti Sains Malaysia International Conference on Social Sciences 2015 - Touching Lives, Bridging Society
Full text linkA society and people in general have always been the major focus of any study in the field of
social sciences. Given the conflicts, competition, pressures, tensions and differences that are
prevalent and persisting around us in today‘s society, social scientists can have a great
potential to touch the lives of all human beings in many different societies. By doing so, they
too can bridge the gaps that are seen to be widening between and within societies today. The
field of social sciences critically examines and analyses elements of human existence, their
infinite combinations of interactions, their value systems, traditions, culture, options and
choices and practices. This is reflected in a broad range of disciplines which include
anthropology and sociology, development studies, economics, political science, psychology
and social work.
The proceedings of this conference includes papers presented at the USM-International
Conference on Social Sciences (USM-ICOSS) 2015 which was hosted with the aptly noble
theme ―Touching Lives and Bridging Society‖ and held from 27 - 28 August 2015 at the
Rainbow Paradise Beach Resort, Penang, Malaysia. This conference is solely organized by
the School of Social Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Malaysia
Exploring Women’s Relationships: An analysis of Malaysian Women’s Lifestyle Magazines
Full text linkThis study presented content analysis of two women’s lifestyle magazines for the period of
January until June 2016. Combining media studies and relationship research, this paper
examined cover pages and cover stories of two highly popular and widely circulated
women’s lifestyle magazines in Malaysia; Nona and Wanita. Preliminary analysis indicated
women who appeared in the cover page and cover story of the two magazines were attractive,
successful and that they held prominent positions within society. They included
businesswomen, actresses and politicians/activists. Women’s relationships, as portrayed in
these magazines, comprised of children, husbands and family and this is consistent with their
private roles as mothers, wives, sisters and daughters. From the analysis, women in the cover
pages of these two magazines continued to be presented in traditional and patriarchal gender
roles including being nurturant and submissive with an emphasis on their sexuality. This is in
spite of them holding non-traditional roles as providers and representing success stories of
women in public domain. The analysis provided supports that gender roles and cultural
expectations continue to influence people’s social experiences. In addition, these gender roles
cultural expectations also shape and at the same time enhanced by the representations in the
media
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
