No full textGeographical Information Systems (GIS) approach for mapping the aboriginal children malnutrition growth : a case in Kemar, Perak / Haslina Hashim ... [et al.]
Full text linkGeographical Information System (GIS) has been widely used nowadays in health monitoring process throughout
the whole nation. GIS also has been used to map population infectious diseases such as Dengue, Malaria and
AIDS. This system has the ability to organize, manipulate, analyze and visually display spatial data and provide an
efficient result thus can help the decision maker in solving the health problem. The use of GIS to map the aboriginal children malnutrition growth is thus appropriate. Children malnutrition is a multi current dimensional problem which involves with food security, education, and access to clean water, sanitation and health services. An aboriginal child is identify to be under the high risk of unhealthy growth nowadays. The factors that contribute to this issues is the living environment and sufficient of healthy food and clean water. GIS technologies have the potential to be used in mapping the children malnutrition growth and study the significance of the environment which relate to the cases. GIS has the ability to update information and visualize the result for further analysis to be taken by the bodies of interest. The objectives of this study is to identify the group of aboriginal children and their locations using global positioning systems (GPS) that need of assistance and help in health interventions, this study also provide up to date information for decision making and raise precaution awareness towards the Aboriginal Children malnutrition’s problems. These malnutrition children growth results will be displayed by GIS to visualize the percentage growth. Once the result is obtained therefore further analysis can be done to monitor the aboriginal children growth with the support of healthy malnutrition program in future
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
Persepsi masyarakat setempat terhadap pencapaian projek pembangunan desa telaga air
Full text linkKertas kerja ini dirmilakan dengan artikel di dalam News Straits Times (NST) yang bertarikh 7 Oktober 2005 yang "menghentam" pencapaian pelan pembangunan luar bandar yang disifatkan gagal mencapai matlarnatnya walaupun setelah 10 tahun pelan tersebut dilancarkan. Penulisan ini cuba meQiawab sejauh mana kebenaran artikel yang disiarkan di atas, tetapi dari kaca mata masyarakat setempat dan pusat pertumbuhan desa yang paling sesuai ditinjau adalah PPD Telaga Air yang juga merupakan PPD pertama di Sarawak. Persepsi masyarakat adalah penting kerana golongan ini merupakan golongan berkepentingan yang menggunakan "produk" akhir pembangunan yang telah dirancang di peringkat negeri dan mereka juga merupakan golongan yang menerirna kesan hasil daripada pembangunan ini, sarna ada mereka terlibat dalarn proses perancangan tersebut atau sebaliknya
University Students’ Behaviours on Single-Use Plastic
Full text linkPlastic waste is an ongoing global crisis because it is polluting the environment and harming the aquatic environment. As a higher education institution, universities are expected to produce citizens who are aware of sustainability practices. The study examines university students’ behaviours on single use plastic. The specific aspects studied are frequency of single-use plastic and management of plastic waste. The participants are 386 students in a university from various disciplines who filled in an online questionnaire. The results indicate that high dependency on single-use plastic mainly for food and drinks packaging because they buy takeaway food. The frequency of single-use plastic is once to three times a day. The participants threw plastic containers and plastic bags into the dustbin. About 90 percent prefer to use single-use plastic containers despite the vendors charging them extra for the containers. The findings suggest availability of single-use plastic packaging and convenience importantly shape students’ high dependency on single-use plastic and their attitudes towards single-use plastic waste management
